to settle the contest in the manner sug-
gested.
The board then adjourned to 5 D. M,
when a stipulation was entered into be-
tween Bell and Huber to determine the

EVERYTHING GREEN in KANSAS
Crops Are Materially Benefited by
Rains All over the
State.

TOPEKA, May 6.-Nearly every part Of
Kansas was visited by the heavy rain that
fell today and great benefit to crops and
grass has resulted. In the central and
western portions good rain fell yesterday
and throughout today nearly the entire
state was favored. It is raining tonight.
The spring drouth is effectually broken.
Opinions differ as to the benefit the wheat
will gain. Part of the crop is killed, but
conservative reports from the wheat belt
say a fair yield may be expected. Pas
lures are greatly benefited and there will
now be an abundance of grass for stock.
Corn and other growing crops have not
been retarded in the least, and are now, as
a result Of the rain, in splendid condition.

LONDON is BEING REBUILT.
Yankee Sky-Scrapers Will Revolution.
ixe the Great METROPOLITAN.

Someone has said that London is
the most backward white mans city
in the world This is true to-day. To
morrow it will be all different. For a
new city is coming into being, not
Quickly-it would not be itself if it
hurried-but surely Within twenty
years one will see it not only almost
wholly rebuilt but city with all the
modern conveniences. Great govern
ment buildings in the course of con
struction, as well as YanKee-built sky
scrapers, will give the old town its
new dress. And tube railways bur
rowing in every direction far under
ground will actually made it possible
to cross London in a reasonable time
Everywhere that it is possible, streets
are being wdened, and great avenues
cut at untold expense through popu-
lous sections. This rebuilding and
renovating is not received wholly with
satisfaction. The English love the
lesurely way of their capital as much
as they love its dinginess and dirt. AS

ship and which has not been per-
ceived in time or is due to an error
in calculating the position of the ship
this invention is intended to serve
as a neversleeping advance watch
man, to apprise the commanding Of
ticer of the ship of danger ahead.
The apparatus consists of a double
pointed tubular shell, containing an
electric motor, supported by sur
face float and having vertical arm
descending underneath to the depth
corresponding to the vessels draft.
Two cables leading from the ship to
the 'feeler" supply the medium
through which the current reaches
the motor and returns. When the
device comes in contact with any
solid substance the current is in
terrupted and signal given on board
the ship.
The inventor intends that three of
these feelers shall be used by a ship
and provides for use in connection
with them system of projecting
arms for sending different signals
back to the ship to indicate whether
the obstruction is stationary or in
motion and if the latter in what di-
rection it is travelling.

BACK TO NATURES BREAST.
Reasons for Exodus From Cities in
Summer Time.

Every summer the exodus of the
well-to-do American from the city is
larger and begins earlier. Every year
his return from the country is later
in the season. At the present rate it
is only a question of time before he
and his family will come to town for
only a month or two in winter. His
home will be in the country; he will
visit and do business in the city. The
cause of this return to the soil is com
pleX and presents number of inter.
esting features. One cause is that
every man with red blood in him feels
at intervals the impulse to get back
to natures breast, far from the mad
ding crowd" He may never have
heard of the fable of Antaeus, but he
has an instructive feeling that he
gains fresh strength every time ne
touches old mother earth. That is his
heritage from primeval man. But
we do not have to go far back; only
a few generations away at most is an
ancestor who helped conquer the
wilderness. So this longing in our
blood.

A PROMINENT REPUBLIC m URGES
w. H. MARLBOROUGH FOR SPEARS JOB.
Certain Papers Still Cling to The Claim Which
Judge Purneli himself las
Denied.

After the News and Observer had told
all about Judge PurnellS letter to Sena-
tor Pritchard about Oscar Spears, while
certain other papers said that a demand
had been made by Judge Purnell for
out from Washington that Judge Pur-
nell is after Spears.
II anybody is after Spears it is Sena-
tor Pritchard. Judge Purnell did not
demand Spears removal in his letter to
Senator Pr4 chard. He told of various
short comings of Spears, and of the be-
havior smacking of contempt during the
last term Of the Federal court, and said
that he would not submit to a repetition
OF this.
The letter was to Senator Pritchard
and there was no request to file it in the
Department of Justice contained in the
letter. The filing Of his letter comes
from Senator Pritchard, and this plainly
shows that the guillotine is close TO
Spears official neck.
There is a report that friends of Mr..
w. H. Marlborough, Jr., of LouisbUrg. are
urging his name for the position of AS
%sistant District Attorney. Mr.. Yarbor-
ough is a recent accession to the Repub-
lican ranks. and a Republican OF State
reputation is interesting himself in the
interests Of Mr.. Marlborough.
Judge Timberlake and ex-District At
torney c. NJ. Bernard say they do not
want the position. The strongest candi-
date in the open is ]. A. Giles, of Chat
ham. but they have all got to wait till
Oscar Spears is out of it.
