News from Old Friends.

Mack Lewis, who went to Florida
last fall to nurse bad eye and in
cidentally to lay in a stock of new
and large fish stories, will arrive in
Kinsley tomorrow night to have a
look at old friends and also to look
after his business interests. He left
Florida the ninth of this month ac-
companied by his wife and J. M.
Lewis and wife. They went into the
moutains of North Carolina to get
away from the summer heat of the
south. A pretty good idea OF their
present abiding place can be had
from the following extract from a
letter writtan by Colonel Lewis to his
home paper in ST. Petersburg, dated
Bait Cave, N. c., 7-13-02:
Leaving Hendersopville we had a
nice drive to Edney's Inn, first ten
miles good road but billy, the last

now a roaring, brook, hills 300 feet
on either side, until suddenly we came
out onto a level plateau OF about six
acres and the Inn was before us.
trees in abundance, oak, hickory,
black walnut, catalpa and butternut,
with chestnut and numerous other
forest trees covering the sides of the
high hills like a garment, loveliest
green everywhere. 1t is an amphi-
theatre magnificent. The road here
is good; churches near, post Office
about mile, store also.
This Inn is a rambling sort of a
house, but very comfortable. Our
room has a large fireplace, and we
have improved our acquaintance with
it every day-veranda on two sides,
sitting room about thirty feet square,
good floor for dancing, good piano,

Mr.. Edney and his wife are kindly
people and will do all they can for
the comfort of their guests. The
water brought out of the side of a hill
in wooden logs pours INCREASINGLY,

say of this ideal retreat is that there
are guests now in the house who have
been here every season without a

guests are all very agreeable, pleas.

This Freight Ride Came High.

H. L. Warner returned from Hutch
inson last week where he has been
taking treatment for his eyes. His
condition is very much improved and
he will eventually see all right again.
He tells of rather an exciting time on
the homeward journey. 1t seems that
thirteen men climed on top Of night
freight at Hutchinson. Soon after
leaving ths station the two breakmen
came along and collected dollar
each from the boys agreeing to let
them ride through as far rs Dodge if
they so desired. Shortly after the
brakemcn returned to the caboose two
men came again from the rear end of
The train and at the point OF revolvers
compelled the crowd to hold up their
hands while they we're searched. One
man had some telegraph pole climb
ers and 80 was passed as "one of the
boys" The last two visitors also re-
tired towards. the rear end of the
train The gang compared notes and
found that they had contributed
seventy-six dollars in money and a
thirty dollar watch. When the train
stopped at Sylvia Warner went to the
operator and asked him to send no.
tees of the holdup along the line.
Some of the boys seemed TO think the
robbers were the brakeman on the
train and two went through to Dodge
to make complaint and have the train
searched. Nothing more has been
heard in relation to the matter.
Doubtless these boys will think it
cheaper to ride in passenger coach
fand pay regular fare in the future.

Through to Jack sonville.

Effective July LIST. The Southern
Railway will operate its own trains
through to Jacksonville, Fla, having
acquired trackage rights over the At
lantic Coast Line, formerly the Plant
ystem. These trains will be oper-
ated over the new cut OF from Jessup,
Ga. to Folkestone. and not use the
longer route via WaycrOss. This re-
duccs the distance to Jacksonville
twenty miles. 1t is very probable
that the schedule for the coming win
ter season will be shortened up ac-
cordingly. Mileage and excess bag
gage boofs will be honored over this
route through TO Jacksonville, the
same as over any other portion OF the
Southern Railway System.

RESULTS OF THE sToRrIs.
Much Damage Done at Lewis and
Surrounding Country.

Later reports of the storm OF Mon
day and Tuesday show that more
damage was done than was at first
supposed. In the neighborhood of
Lewis many mills we're blown down
and several farm buildings destroyed.
Those we have heard of are Harvey
Nelson, house unroofed and barn
large barn blown down; Lockie's
wagon shed blown down and buggy
smashed. MIR. Locke had just driven
into the shed when his men came in
and took the team off and all had
gone out when the building collapsed.
If they had been few moments later
some of them would in all probability
have been killed. Hodson's house
was struck by lightning and wrecked.
Spence lost stack of wheat which
was set on fire by lightning. Peter
Ostrander's barn was blown down,
and in many places whole fields of
corn and growing feed were literally
pounded into the earth. North of
KiDsley the hail was most severe and
in some localities covered the ground
to the depth of six inches At Mr..
Edlin's, pigs were killed and the
backs of the cattle were so bruised
that they looked raw. The feed was
destroyed and in many places the
grass was driven into the ground
After the storm was over dead rab-
bits and birds could be found on the
prairies in large numbers. AT NicK
Oster's a straight-sided crock was out
in the yard and in an hour and half
had six inches of water in it,. These
were the worst storms experienced in
this country for years.
An Unfortunate Fail.
Mr.. Robert McCanse was the victim
of very serious accident last Satur-
day. 1t seems that he hitched up his
team in the morning and started out
to rake hay. He had worked but a
short time when in some way he fell
from the rake and frightened the
horses. They ran for some distance,
dragging him in the rake, finally
striking fence and so freeing them
selves. Mr.. McCanse was left lying
on the ground unconscious, no one
knows how long. After time he be-
came sufficiently conscious to get up
and walk to Frank Springs house.
He found no one at home, but seeing
a boy passing on a horse asked him
to send DIR. Pearson out. The doctor
reached him about 5 o'clock and
found him out in the field badly
dazed. Mr.. McCanse was taken to
the house, washed up and an examina-
tion made. 1t was found that his
right collar bone and three ribs were
broken, face badly bruised and
scratched and many other bruises
we're found all over his body. The
doctor brought him to town and
placed him in Hinkel's hotel where he
has had the best attention, his old
friends promptly rallying to his
assistance. The doctor hopes to have
him out again IN Il few days. 1t was
one OF the miracles that he was not
killed outright.

The night operator at the depot met
with a misfortune Wednesday night
which he will remember for some
time. He stepped out onto the depot
platform about Ii o'clock to chat with

Letter from Michigan.
OwASso, July II, 1902

EDITOR OF THE KINSLEY GRAPHIC:
We were pleased to hear from you
and we thank you for congratula-
lions; they are little tardy but not
out OF date at all.
Perhaps you as we'll as some of the
readers of the Graphic would like to
hear from Edward Meier to learn
what he is driving at in Michigan.
Well, yesterday he was driving a
horse cultivating corn for neighbor,
today he is working in the hay field
for the same party. Farm hands are
very scarce here, and he has plenty
of work at home to do improving our
own place il the neighbours did not
need his assistance SO much. He has
done much good work here the short
time that he has been here. Kansas
Is minus one good man, but Michigan
needs him and his good qualities are
fully appreciated. 1t is remarkable
how all my friends are taken up with
him; as soon as he arrived here he
was taken into their hearts as well as
their lovely homes.
My friends made great preparations
for the wedding, they would have their
own way; my interfering did no good.
After his arrival. my young lady
friends led him into the beautifully
decorated parlor and asked him how
he liked The decorations. | must say
myself, he was SO completely over
come by the lovely appearance of the
parlor; he was so surprised that low
ing hands would work a number of
days for him and unworthy little me-.
After the wedding we took trip
visiting friends in the east. There
were many and different items in the
newspapers and my friends said:
'There never was couple married
before where all the newspapers had
so much to say" Well, ] am well
known and have many good friends
and it was complete surprise to all
of them; aud many had their feelings
hurt and had "bones to pick'' with
me, but they dare not hurt me for
have legal protector now.
Any one can travel long way be-
fore they find man who is better.in
every resi- ect than Edward Meier. He
is honest, upright, Industrious, kind
hearted and true. 1t wonders me how
he could escape so easy. Perhaps
some people did not know nor appre.
ciate the good fellow. I believe in
giving credit to any person who is
striving to do right, before they close
their eyes forever and their ears car
not hear any more-kind words
mean.
We like the Graphic very much
We part with every other paper first
I find it an interesting paper. Edward
Meier, my husband, does not know
anything about my writing this letter
so if you wish to take a little materia
out of it for another item it would b,
q surprise to him. He has been rea
well and has not missed meal, but
think he likes farming in the west tn.

We were united Nov. IA, 1901, and
