Eating . PrickIy Pear.

s q
 My first sad experience of the Al rcan prickly pear was gained on 2 visit to the market place of AlgierR The fruit was handed to us, politely peeled by the Arab dealer, and thus as we made acquair tance with it's de- lightful coolness no suspicion of Its eva qualities entered our minds.
 A few days later, adding the excite ment of a little trespassing to the more legitimate pleasures of a country ramble, we came upon a well laden group of prickly pear bushes and coulS not resist the temptation to help our. selves to some of the fruit. The resuh was woeful.
 Concentrated essence of stinging nes tie seemed all at once to be assailins hands, lips and tongue, and our skin. wherever it had come in contact with the i'll natured fruit, was covered wits 6 thick crop of minute, bristly hairs apparently growing from it, and ven omous and irritating to the last degree
 Our silk gloves, transformed sudden iy into miniature robes of Nessus, had to be thrown away, perfectly unwear- able, and the inadvertent use of our pocket handkerchiefs before we had fully realized the extent of our misfor tune caused fresh agonizs. in whicb nose as well as lips participated. Fol many a day did the retribution of that theft haunt us in the form of myriads of tiny stings.-"Home Life on an Os trich Farm"

Some sta.istic. About Hair

A scientist with vast amount of pa
 tience has counted the hairs of the hu- man head. In fact, not content with counting one head of hair. he under took several. The results of his inves- tigations are curious. Blonds, for in- stance, have the greatest number and those with red hair the smallest. Iu no case is there much variation be tween the sexes when the color is the same. Light haired people have be tween 10000 and 5000 hairs; bru- nettes average only about 105.0 900 hairs; red haired people do not have much more than 30.000. This means that red hair Is coarser than other shades, but It has the advantage of lasting longer.

GRAND JURY LOOKS
INTO MACHEN'S CASE.
Payne Discusses the Affairs of His
Department..

department..
Washington, June 4.-The case of
August w. Machen, late superintend-
ent of the free delivery service of the
Postoffice Department, who is charged
with having received brides to the
amount of 5000 in connection with
department contracts, was presented
to the Federal Grand Jury to-day.
The Grand Jury adjourned until to-
morrow after hearing several witness
es. The first witness was Andrew M.
McBath, a chief of division in the Of
flee of the auditor for the Postoffice
Department, who was under examina-
ton for several hours. Inspector May
er, who worked up the case against
Machen, followed McBath Another
witness, who was present to give tes-
timony was Mr.. Eckloff, cashier of the
Second National Bank of this city.
The secrecy with which the names
of the witnesses has been surrounded
is still maintained
1t was stated at the Postoffice De-
partment to-day that If the Grand Jury
tomorrow should report an indictment
against Machen, the preliminary hear
ing. scheduled for Saturday, will not be
held. His trial in that event will take
place in the term beginning next Oc-
tober.
Postmaster General Payne said to-
day that there was no foundation for
rumors in circulation that the investi-
cation of affairs at the department
has disclosed a large percentage of
routes, particularly in the South,
where the receipts fall very largely be-
low expenses and where carriers do
not perform the amount of service for
which they are paid. He said that
question has not yet been taken up. A
Encouragement of the divisions of the
rural free delivery service, however, is
one of the possible results of the in
vestigation.
Mr.. Payne was asked to-day regard
ing the contracts for time clocks, the
circumstances surrounding which have
been given considerable publicity in
connection with the investigation. Mr..
Payne was asked if there was any idea
of doing away with these clocks and
of substituting time clerks for them.
He replied that the government had
bought so many of them outright that
there were enough to last for some
time to come.

Springfield ILL.,, June 4.-President
Roosevelt spent four hours in Spring
field to-day during which time he ded-
icated the new state arsenal and arm
DRY erected at a cost of $15O,00O, do
mated by citizens of Springfield. and
addressed the Lincoln Mckinley Vet
eran Voters Association at the Lincoln
monument. Among those who heard
the President speak at the monument
was Company H of the Eighth Regi-
ment (colored), Illinois National Guard.
After greeting the Veterans Associa-
tion the President said:
1T seems to me eminently fitting
that the guard around the tomb of
Lincoln should be composed of colored
soldiers. 1t was my own good for
tune at Santiago to serve beside col
ored troops. A man who is good
enough to shed his blood for his coun-
try is good enough to be given a
square deal afterwards.
More than that no man is entitled
to, and less than that no man shall
have"
The party then drove back to the ar
senal, where the dedication, exercises
took place before 10000 persons as
sembled in the great hall. The Pres
ident here eulogized Lincoln. saying
that homage could be effectively paid
to Lincolns memory "by seeing to it
that this republics lifZ, social and po-
litical, civic and Industrial. is shaped
now in accordance with the ideals
which Lincoln preached and which all
his life long he practiced."

NINE WERE KILLED;
SEVEN WERE INJURED.
Disastrous Head-End Collision on
the Santa Fe.

thc
Topeka, Kan, June A disastrous
collision between Santa Fe passenger
trains at Stillwell. near Olathe, this
afternoon. killed nine persons and In
jured seven. One train was going west
at full speed, and crashed into the Chi
cago section of the eastbound
The trains were routed on the Mis-
souri, Pacific tracks on account of the
floods, which washed out Santa Fe
tracks. Orders were sent out by the
dispatcher for the trains to meet at
StillwelI.
1t is charged at the Santa Fe office
here tonight that the Chicago train
crew disregarded this injunction, and
ran a mile or more past the meeting
point The westbound train did not
stop at Stillwell, but, running slowly
by, the engineer saw no other train,
and as he had a clear track according
to his orders, he rushed ahead.
News of the accident was delayed
in reaching Topeka. Immediately a re-
lief train was made up and sent TO
the scene of the wreck DR.. J. p Kas-
ter, chief surgeon Of the Santa Fe, was
in charge and took with him a num-
Der of physicians and nurses. They
will bring the injured to the Santa

NOW REACHS II.

peIxa Total Wreck-DescriptiOn
of the Rnvages of the Flood i'm
That PIace-Wheat Yield Cut OF.
Topeka, Kan. June 4.-The bodies of
seven more flood victims were found
to-day. The list of known dead now
reaches II, with 80 people identified
1t is the belief that many bodies are
yet in the wreckage. Scores are re-
ported missing, and three is no way of
Immediately locating them. The I'm
ion Pacific depot has been improWsed
as a morgue and there the bodies are
gathered to await identification.
The river to-day fell thirteen inches.
This makes a drop of over five feet
from the high water mark. 1t is just
now that the devastating power of the
flood is becoming known.
North Topeka is a total wreck.
There is a town there-the plaything
of the elements-which seem to have
left it stranded. The water is still
over a greater part of the town. In
the residence districts it is seven feet
deep in most places. but the current is
no longer strong and flows along as If
only anxious to get back into the bed
of the river.
What an Inspection shows.
The damage is done and the sub
siding of the waters will make little
difference, simply the lifting of the
veil which now hides the wreck of the
undercurrent.
The business part of the town is a
sorry looking place, the damage be-
ing almost complete. The fronts of
most of the stores have openings brok-
en- through. The contents of most of
the stores are ruined. The currents
came rushing through with such force
that they upset counters and boxes
and whatever came in their way and
dragged the goods stored high on the
shelves into the water.
In nearly every Dullulli6 Which was
not washed away the contents are
piled on the side of the furthermost
| down stream, and over all there is
a slime of fine sand mixed with lit
tie mud This deposit varies from a
few inches to two or three feet and is
over everything.
In the residence districts practically
the same sights present themselves.
Sanitation Is Wretched.
The greatest difficulty now exists in
the wretched sanitary conditions. The
health board is busy with the problem
of sanitation, and win do all possible
to prevent an epidemic. To this end
stringent regulations are being en-
forced. The city water will probably
be turned on some time tonight, and
this will greatly relieve the situation.
From Manhattan. Abilene. Salina,
Florence, Lincoln, Center and Hutch
inson come reports that the water has
about spent its force. and that the
towns are slowly recovering.
The yield of wheat will be much
smaller as the result of the flood. and
the financial loss will be great. How
ever, the state has great resources and
is bearing up well under the stunning
blow.
