THE WATER FAMINE.
Farmers Are Buying Water and
Hauling It Many Miles

IF'rom the Independence Reporter.]
The present drouth is probably I'M
preeedented for this section of country,
but occurring in the fall and winter it
is not so much noticed as a spring or
summer drouth. There has probably
been enough N DISTURB to keep the
wheat crop from suffering, but the
shortage of stock water is proving a
heavy burden to many farmers. An
immense amount of water is being
hauled from this city into the country,
for six and eight miles, to keep stock
from perishing. At almost any hour
of the day water tanks can be seen
procuring water from the hydrant in
front of the office of the water COM
pany to be hauled out into the country.
The tanks used are generally those
that form n part of the outfit of every
threshing machine. The farmer who
has no reliable water supply on his
farm is in hard luck and it would
seem that the experience of this year
ought to stinu late such to make a de-
termined effort to in some way remedy
fhiS deficiency.

One would ever suspect from his ap-
pearance that Mr.. Ross, is nearly ~
years of age. He is wonderfully active
and rarely misses a day from his Office.
Mr.. Ross is a Mason and a member of
the First Presbyterian church. He was
a sufferer from dyspepsia until he heard
of KodoI Dyspepsia Cure. The follow
ing is his opinion of the remedy which
has done so much for him:
For several years, I, Thomas L.
Ross, also my wife, Lydia L. Ross. both
of Topeka, Kan, suffered with that ter
rible malady known as dyspepsia or
indigestion.
I'VE commenced to use Kodol Dys-
pepsia Cure on the recommendation of
our druggist. After taking one dose,
and inside of a short time, all of those
terrible pains and dyspepsia torments
had passed away. My appetite, also my
Wife's, came back and our food could
be enjoyed as when we were u. am
now turning n years of age.
Il have not suffered one day with my
stomach since / commenced to use Ko-
dol Dyspepsia Cure, and 1 recommend
it to all of my fellow citizens to do you
good, and endorse Kodol Dyspepsia
Cure"

soDEN MAY BE PRESIDENT.
Movement on Foot to Elect Boston
Magnate as Leader.

New York, Feb. 11.-What is expected
to be star movement on behalf of the
anti-Spalding forces in the baseball war
came to light today, 1t is no less than
an effort to have A. H. Soden, president
of the Boston club, elected president of
the National league. This is to be done
by the combined efforts of New York,
Cincinnati, St. Louis and Boston clubs
and deserter from the Spalding four
provided he can be secured.
Whatever influence has been brought
to bear on Barney Dreyfuss of Pitts
burg appears to be fruitless. Dreyfuss
returned to the smoky city two days
ago and once more reiterated his state
ment that in ease there is no settlement
of the difficulty the Spalding faction
stands ready to go ahead with four
club circuit and that he is with Spalding
to a finish.
President Ebbetts of the Brooklyn
club also expressed himself very strong
ly today on the baseball situation. He
said that he is with Spalding to the end,
as is the Brooklyn club.

every round Yanger paid little atten-
ton to anything but Bernsteins stom-
ach, and after the first two rounds he
had Bernstein on the run. In the fourth
round .Yanger knocked Bernstein down
with 4 left to the stomach. Bernstein
got up at the count of five and ran into
a clinch to save himself. Yanger
reached Bernstein's stomach with both
hands several times during the re-
mainder of the round, and the New

round ended. In the fifth round Bern

ond time and got up staggering. When
he regained his feet he was barely able
to protect himself. and took hard

nearly out on several occasions, and
when the contest ended they were bare

with the most distinguished consideration

compliment of my art. / dont get mad at
you for kissing and / am not put out
True, 1 never was put out. 1 hope 1 will

twice, and a whole scene was omitted to
bring the mighty Sullivan into the glare

WANTED TO PAY ALIMoNY.
Unusual Request of Man Who Asked
For Courts Order.

Wichita, Kas., Feb. 1.-THE somewhat
unusual spectacle of a man asking the
court to order him to pay alimony to
his wife when he himself was the petit
toner for a separation greeted the Off
Gals of the district court Monday.
James A. Wilcox petitioned for a di-
vorce from his wife, Pearl A. Wilcox.
He said that they were married October
2, 1892, in Buchanan county, Missouri.
Not long ago, he said, she abandoned
him and has since refused to live with
him. He, asked that the court give
their two children to Mrs. Wilcox and
TO make an order requiring him to pay
$40 month for their support as long
as they rem ain under the care and con-
troll of Mrs. Wilcox After that he
wanted an order to require him to pay
$40 q month to Mrs. Wilcox as long as
she lived or until she remarked.
