| f)r wages receive their pay on Sat

q: the following day, many of them
spend their time and money in dissipa-
ton. On Monday morning the physical
condition and pocket book are both
depleted. The empty pocketbook and
the mental and physical remorse, he
said. were the impelling causes to
self-destruction and the mind and body
of the victim are so weakened by the
dissipation of the previous day that
they can offer 10 resistance.
But it had not been stated in the
question that more suicides occur on
Sunday than any other day. and an
other man in the crowd said that be-
fore he should accept that explana-
ton he would like to be put In. pos

4 reference was made to the records
which were available of suicides in
Phoenix within the last few years.
and it was found that a very large
majority of them did take place on
Monday. In the cases Of those which
did not 1t had been found that the
victims were either insane or We're suf-

been driven to death by other causes
than dissipation.
1t was then suggested by another
man in the party that this thing must
have been observed as long ago as the
time when the second day of the week
was named Blue Monday" and that
the name had not been given it, as he
had always supposed, because it was
the family wash day though that, he
added, was a sufficiently depressing
fact.

From River.
GIRLS WERE TAKING BOAT RIDE
Young Woman Saved From Drowning
by Edward West and Young Com
panion Who Towed Their Boat Into
Shore.

Four young South Side girls were
probably saved from a watery grave
Saturday by the bravery of Edward
West, and young companion. The
girls were Misses Ada Ward, Elizabeth
Sweeney. Elma Olney and Della Geddes.
They went out in a boat near the Cum
mings ice house this afternoon, in
tending to row a short distance out on
the river They lost an oar, however,
and the boat tipped Miss Geddes fall
ling into the river. She was rescued
by her companions and pulled back
into the boat.
The boat meanwhile had drifted
! about 100 yards down the river and the
young girls in their terror rocked the
boat which threatened to capsize.
Their shrielis. however, attracted the
attention of the two boys, who rowed
out in boat and towed them into
shore. Miss Gededs would undoubted-
ly been drowned had it not been for the
GOODNESS of her young companions.
She is the daughter of Rev. S. j..
Geddes, pastor of the Methodist Pro-
testant church.

Prehistoric Kansas.
Two prehistoric provinces have
been discovered in Kansas.

WO prehistoric provinces nave
been discovered in Kansas.
Surprising isn't it? And yet we
should never be surprised at any
thing new and wonderful in Kansas.
1t is commonwealth that has pro-
duced a great many things besides
"Sockless'' Jerry and Reckless Carrie.
They are merely the incidents of a
long illustrious ca1eer-longer, indeed,
than most of us have any notion of
heretofore, if we are to believe the
authenticity of this latest discovery In
historical research.
Mr.. J.. V. Bower of St. Paul, Mimi,
has just announced in a new book
that he has recovered the sites of the
provinces of Quivera and Harahey,
which was discovered in 1541 by
Francisco de Coronado. The present
city of Logan Cove is near the center
of this territory, which was a Spanish
province before New England con-
tanned a white settler. The country
Whereabouts has been carefully
explored, and sites of old towns have
been unearthed with the accompany
ing relics of ancient pottery, nipple
ments and weapons.
Besides, all this has been found to
correspond exactly with the discrip-
tons of the country, its people and
their customs contained in letters from
Coronado to the King of Spain, which
is still in existence.
Hereafter Kansas is not to be re-
garded as one of the "new" states, if
you please. 1t has history running
back to 1914; think of that! Itmakes
those proud, old English and Holland
settlements look like spring chickens
The Pilgrim Fathers did not reach
the coast of Massachusetts, until a
century later. 1t was two hundred
years latter before there were enough
people on the American continent to
make noise that could be heard
across the Atlantic. 1t was three
and a half centuries before this
present day enlightenment and
civilization along the banks of the
Missouri.
People are sometimes proud of
being able to trace an ancient
ancestry; and why should not Kansas
feel sense of elation at such dis
covery?-St. Joseph Press.

Killed By Lightning.

On Thursday last, about 8 p. m.
while working on new barn at
Tobias Unruh's place II miles east
of Pawnee Rock, Henry E. Converse
was almost instantly killed by stroke
of lightning. He was a carpenter,
aged 33 years and 2 months, and has
been resident of Great Bend for a
number of months, working with his
uncle, H. S. Converse. He left a
wife, now in Long Beach, California,
but no children.
Deceased, with his uncle, Mr..
Unruh and another man, were work
ing in the barn. The bolt of lightning
struck the cupola of the barn, spread
at the ridge pole, and came down in
several places, stunning all of the
other men for few moments. When
H. S. came to himself he had been
thrown about ten feet from where he
stood. He went to the stricken man,
whom the others had seen fall. and
asked care you hurt?" The man
looked up, apparently conscious, and
said 'Help me up" The uncle
partly raised him by the shoulders,
and with couple of gasps the life
went out. A livid mark appeared
across his breast and abdomen.
smaller marks branching out from it
like the veins on a leaf.
The remains were inferred in the
Pawnee Rock cemetery at 3 P. M,
