MONROE AS AN ORATOR.
Deputy County Clerk Enters thu
Field.

Shawnee county has produced a new
negro orator, who displayed his ora
torical powers at Snyder's grove at
Wakarusa Tuesday afternoon on the
occasion of the Emancipation day cele-
bration. The new orator is Henry l.
Monroe, deputy county clerk.
The colored people arranged to cele-
brate the day at Wakarusa with an
old fashioned barbecue. Jackson S
Twenty third regiment band was there,
Another orator was billed, but he may
have been afraid to compare his ora
torical powers with Monroe, as he did
not appear. There was a crowd of
about ], 600 people, and of that number
only about 300 were colored. Monroe
spoke upon the advancement made by
the colored race and of the negro ques-
ton. He referred to Tillman as a
hydra headed monster" Monroe held
the attention of the audience for fifty
minutes, despite the merry go-roundS
and other attractions.

ODD GUARDIANS.
Birds as Sheep Herders and Jelly Fish
Protect False Mackerel.

The natives of Venezuela and adjoin-
ing countries on the north side of the
river Amazon often avail themselves
of the services of a native crane TO care
for their poultry and also in the place
of collies or shepherd dogs, to guard
and herd their domestic animals. This
remarka BILE bird, which the Indians call
yakamik and the ornithOlogists psOphla
crepitans is found in a wild state in
the great forests which lie between the
northern coasts of South America ana
the Amazon river, particularly in Ven
ezuela and British Guiana. The birds
never leave the forests unless shot or
captured. They may be trusted with
the care of a flock of sheep or domestic
fowls and every morning will drive the
ducks and poultry to their feeding
places and carefully collecting any
stragglers, bring them safely home at
night. A yakamik soon learns to know
and obey the voice of his master, fol-
lows him. when permitted, wherever he
goes, and appears delighted at recelV-
ing his caresses.
It pines at his absence and welcomes
his return and is extremely jealous OF
any rival. Should any dog or cat ap-
proach it flies at it with the utmost
fury and, attacking it with wings and
beak drives it away. 1t pres cents itself

A singular case of guardianship has
just been made known by NJ. Gadeau
de Kerville 1t concerns the young of
the marine fishes called false macierel
which are almost always found in COM
pany with the large jelly fish known as
rhizostomes These young fishes swim
parallel with the long axis of the jelly
fish, and in the same direction as the
latter. They remain above beneath and
behind the animal. but rarely advance
beyond it, 1t frequently happens that
some of them introduce themselves in

then visible from the exterior owing to
the transparency of the host. Some
times the school of fishes wanders a

THIRTY TENTS LOST.
They Belonged to the State and Were
Used by Flood Sufferers.

w. J. Stage is making an effort to To-
cate thirty or forty state tents that are
scattered around in the foothills north
of the. Kansas river. having been sent
out from Topeka for sheltering flood
refugees two months ago. He today
sent out a number of letters to township
authorities in Soldier, Menoken and Sill
yer Lake townships inquiring about
tents supposed to be in those localities
When the relief work was at its
busiest in Topeka Mr.. Stage was placed
in charge of the shelter work and was
allowed to distribute a number of state
tents. a few of which were set up in the
Douthitt tract for the use of refugees
Several tents were sent to Shorey and
others to the Reform school and Grant
vile, Menoken and Silver Lake. When
the government tents were received here
most of the remaining state tents were
sent out. These tents have been very
hard to locate since and it is probable
the state win get back but few of them
A month ago an effort was made to Sc
cure few additional tents for shelter
work At that time the state authori-
ties were unable to find any of the
militia tents but a few Of them have
since been recovered.

WATER COVERS FARMS.
People at Granville Still Suffer from
SUNDAYS Storm.

Sunday mornings rain caused flood
which broke a dyke east of Granville
letting out the surface water in a
drainage ditch and flooding several
farms between Granville and Newman.
The water has no outlet and is still
standing on farms owned by Joe Rine-
hold, John Montague. Frank Mongold,
Lafe Shirley William Supple and Chris
Hemmie. On the Supple place water
covers a large cornfield two to three feet
deep. Water now stands three feet deep
at Newman and covers considera BILE
ground as far north and east as Thomp-
sonville.
The levy broke al Mike Dennie's farm.
Ten years ago the county commissioners
purchased a right of way and ditched
straight from the Dennie place to the
Kansas river, distance of a mile and a
half, for the purpose of carrying off the
water of Prairie creek which wound
through the fiat bottoms to the east and
frequently inundated that locality. The
place where the creek had been was
in cultivation Sunday morning the tor
rent in the ditch cut through the levy
and let the water out into the bottoms
where it has no outlet to the river but
stands covering several hundred acres in
wheat, corn and other crops, most of
which will be ruined.
