The number of accidents by drowning,
large as it has been of late, is in keep
ing with the opportunities of the season
The statistical quota must be maintain
ed with fatal and unerring precision.
While very large proportion of deaths
from immersion are preventable, it is
almost useless to warn the careless and
unthinldng person of his danger. The
playful idiot who rocks the loaded boat
is impossible of elimination. save in the
exceptional instances when he goes
down with the rest. but it becomes the
prudent amateur sailor to be always on
careful guard against the slightest mis-
hap to his craft. The trouble is, how
ever, that the individuals who know it
all' and are willing to take other lives
in their hands are too numerous to
mention. 1t is when it is too late that
the victims realize the real extent TO
which misplaced confidence may jeopar-
die their lives. Still this must always
be the case so long as rowing and sail
ing are the prevalent summer amuse-
ments and fools are in plenty to take
cOmmand.-NeW York Herald

BIG LAND SALES.
No Less Than 200 Quarter Sections
Change Owners.

Morland, Aug. 29.-It is claimed that
no less than 200 quarter sections of
land in the west half of Graham coun-
ty have changed hands since the first
of the year. In most cases these lands
have been purcha ed by residents of the
county There are many instances where
the crops of this year have paid for the
lands
The Morland elevator men estimate
there will be close to $4,000 bushels of
wheat tributary to this place to be
marketed this year. The crop is the
largest and best ever raised in this part
of the state.
There are no less than ten steam
threshers at work tributary to Morland.
VIM. Flick. of Mcpherson, and Welby
Cunningham, of Chapman, are unload
ing steam threshers here, which will be
put in use soon as possible.
Morland is now connected by tele-
phone with the county seat, Hill City,
and also with Salina, Topeka and Kan
sas City.
The cash remittances of the Union
Pacific agent in Morland for August
will be $500. The town is small, but
the business is here. The business men
are enjoying a trade worth working
for.
Another heavy rain visited this vi
cinity this week. The corn is out of
danger, and the crop will be first-class.
There is a splendid opening in Nor
land for a bank.

Racin Q at ReadvilIe.

Boston, Aug. 29.-Pool selling was
stopped at the Readville races by the
police of Dodham.
The driving of Cox was feature of
the days racing. he winning both his
races and receiving applause from the
spectators. Prince of Orange was an
even money favorite for the 2:0S trot,
Dan T. being the hope of the field buy
ers. Unfortunately for them. Dan T.
made a break in the first heat at the
seven-eighth pole when closing fast in
on the favorite, and again in the second
at the half, which ruined his chances for
the race, and Prince of Orange won by
a neck.
A big plunge was made on Frank
Wilson for the 2:13 pace, even in the
face Of the fact that Major c. had de-
feated him Brighton Beach last week.
In the initial heat Cox with Major c.
kept hard after Frank Wilson, making
him pace the heat in 2:06H in order to
win.
This took lot of pace out of the in
bred Gambota Wilkes gelding, as was
shown by his giving it up in the home
stretch in the next two heats. Scott
Hudson did not want to start Dillon
Boy in the 2:16 trot, but as he had not
withdrawn him from the race last even
ing according to the rules the judges
compelled him to start the horse. Hud-
son, on account of his suspension, en-
gagged Ed Benycn to drive for him.

Has Some Fine Peaches.

Mr.. ]. a. Wiley saw the paragraph In
the Journal the other day. which made
mention of the fine peaches that had
been sent from a California fruit farm
by Mr.. N. p. Deming's son. He i'm
mediately went out into his orchard
picked a bushel or two of Elbretas
hitched up and drove to town. The
peaches he had with him were larger
and finer than the California product
and attracted a great deal of attention
Some of the largest measured as much
as 1034 inches. Mr.. Wiley has six
acres of these peaches and while the
yield this year will be very small, the
quality of the fruit is most excellent
Two years ago Mr.. Wiley got 700 bush
els off the six acres and they must
have been "dandies' if they were all as
fine as those he has been able to get
this year.-Lawrence Journal.

SHE WANTS A DIVORCE.
Leavenworth Woman Says Her Hus-
band Is Worthless.

Leavenworth, Aug. BINARY Ramp
has filed suit for a divorce from her
husband Albert Ramp, thinking, no
doubt, that she might just as we'll be
divorced as to be married to him as he
is living with a former wife.
Such is one of the allegations the
wife makes in her petition for separa-
ton. The petition states that they were
married in September 1902, but that the
husband has been guilty of gross ne
glect of duty in that he has, for the
past ten months. been living with a
former wife from whom he had been
divorced.
She says that during the few days
they did live together as man and wife
he was unelean not only in his Ian
guage to her. but also in his habits.
The former wife the petition speaks of
is known as Sofia Kamp. She obtained
divorce from Albert, January 20, 1902.
In her petition. upon the allegation of
which she obtained a divorce from her
husband, Sofia claimed that her husband
was prowling about the house at all
hours of the night acting strangely and
so much so that she once went to the
police station in the night to have him
taken charge of. She also made the al
legation that Albert ruined her clothing
to such an extent that she did not have
anything to wear down town.

Farmers Not Easily Misled.

Therei is a vigorous renewal at the present
time of the efforts that have been made
in previous years to combine the farmers
in one great organization to keep up the
prices of farm pr Oducts. But there is no
prospect of any greater success than here
tofore. The men who are genzrally active
in such movements seek their own per-
sonal good rather than that of the farm
ers. After much advertising and solcita-
ton a meeting held last week in Chi
cago to carry forward the work of such
an organization. The attendance was
small, according to the Chicago Tribune,
and included one farmer, one board of
trade member, two commission men, one
one manager of a business house. Moth
ing could be done under such circum
stances and another meeting is to be held
early in September 1t is tosthe credit of
the farmers that they are not easily de-
ceived in this matter, even if this is an
age of great organiZation.-Philad

WILSON WANTS HIS OFFICE.
Former Sumner County Attorney
Will Try to Regain Position.

Wellington, Kas., Aug. 29.-Emera E.
Wilson, who was declared by the dis
trict judge to have abandoned his Office
as county attorney, thereby creating a
vacancy, and who returned unexpect-
eddy to his home after a month of wan
dering announced his intention of in
over Judge SWarts' appointee, J. A.
Burnette. He denies any knowledge of
having written the letter to his wife
stating that he was going TO commit
suicide and declares he is stil the legal
county attorney.
Wilson's attempt to regain the office
may be the signal for the institution
of criminal proceedings against him by
the de facto incumbent. Wilson's father
in-law, ex-State Senator Forney, has
filed an answer in a suit brought by the
Central National bank of Topeka, in
which he denies the execution of a note
on which his name appears with Will
sons and virtually charges the latter
with forgery.
