Flood Worst Ever Known.

Washington, August 31.-Dr.
Frankenfield OF the United States
weather bureau has completed and
sent to the printer an exhaustive re-
port on the floods OF the Missouri
and Kaw rivers. The report is the
most comprehensive thing Of the
kind ever attempted by the govern
ment.
DR.. Frankenfield's report will show
that the spring floods Of 1908 in the
Missouri and Kaw rivers and upper
Mississippi were the most destructive
in the history of the country and
we're the greatest in volume OF water,
with the exception of that of 1914.
The report shows that the total
loss from the food was, in round
numbers, $40, 100000. Thisis based
upon actual investigation. The loss
in the vicinity of Topeka, Des Moines
and Kansas Cfty was largely to
crops, railroads, bridges and to com.
mercial interests. A loss OF SILL
100000 was sustained between Han
nibal and st. Louis on the Missis-
sippi and between Alton and Kansas
City on the Missouri. The loss in
the immediate vicinity Of Kansas
City was $15,50O,OOO. Usually the
agricultural interests suffer most
from foods, but DR.. Frankenfleld re-
marks that the high water this year
distributed it's ravages with rare i'm
partially. The loss from the destruc-
ton and damaging OF bridges alone
am ounted to $750,000.

Butler people feel different about

School opens next Monday. This
information is not calculated to fire
the youthful heart with exhuberance
of Joy. Ia fact the average boy
looks at this matter just little bit
different from his fond parents, who
slways feel great relief that the
children are taken of the streets and
put to work. The boy feels that it is
nothing less than a conspiracy hatch
ed hhetween hi parents and the teaeh'
us. whereby his personal liberty is
abridged, aud it is with rebellious
dispositions he takes up his school
work. 1t requires considerable tact,
iorbearanee and patienteffor on the
part OF the teacher to convince the
young hopeful that it is for his good
and not somebody else's benefit he
should study hard to learn. A right
beginning in the establishing of COL
B6ence and respect between the pupil
and the teacher and much OF the
trouble throughout the year is avoid

INDIANS OUTwIT WHITE MEN.
Muskogee, Okla, August 31.-The
tribal land investment companies
have struck reefs, it is alleged. which
did not appear in the firstiair wealth
er days Of their calling, and the pre-.
diction was freely made here to-day
that q number OF these companies
will be financially wrecked as result
OF the changes which have followed
the investigations set on foot by the
government and the Indian rights
association. Their losses are now
ertimated at not less than half Q
million dollars. An individual In
weston Is said to have dropped $50,
900. These are companies condemn
ed by s. N. Brosius Of the Indian
rights association, and In which a
number OF federal officials are stock.
holders.
TIL scheme Of the companies has
been to secure five. year leases from
the Indians at ridiculously low fig
ures, making a small cash payment,
and inducing the Indians, in their
ignorance, to obligate themselves by
contract to buy the improvements
on the land at the end OF the lease.
The Indians, invariably improvi-
dent, will not be able to do this, and,
in debt to the land companies, can
be forced to sell outright at the land
sharks prices.
The newspaper publicity following
the Investigations recently set on foot
has served to warn the Indians and
it is now almost impossible for the
land sharks to secure leases.
In the early rush for leases the com
panies were not careful in ascertain
ing whether an Indian had leased his
allotment more that once. An In.
dian usually received an honorarium
OF 500 or $50 for executing a lease,
and an inscriptions Indian could
make money by leasing his allotment
every time he had an applicant. One
Creek citizen is alleged to have leased
his allotment seventeen times. The
Companies never recovered theis mon.

1t is the opinion OF the European
press and largely OF our own that
President Roosevelt, by his hssty
action In ordering war ships to the
Turkish coast, without waiting to
verify the news Of the killing Of a
United States consul, has placed
himself before the world In a ridicu.
lous position. The consul was not
killed, nor was be even wounded. II
appears he was shot at by q fanatic
or anarchist while passing along the
streets, without harm to himself.
Our people expect the president to
uphold the dignity OF the country
and protect the lives and liberties oil
our citizens against The world, but
a man who occupies that high posi-
tion should be free from jingoism.
He should be well.balanced and con.
sentative, and when q position IL
taken there should be no backdown.
Hasty action is always illadvised.

Plants

Every farmer knows that
some plants grow better than
others. Soil may be the same
and seed may seem the same
but some plants are weak and
others strong.
And that's the way with
children. They are like young
plants. Same food, same home,
same care but some grow big
and strong while others STAY
small and weak.
SCOTS Emulsion offers an
easy way out of the difficulty.
Child weakness often means
starvation, not because of lack
Of food, but because the food
does not feed.
SCOTS Emulsion reallyfeeds
and gives the child growing
strength.
Whatever the cause of weak
ness and failure to grow
SCOTS Emulsion seems to find
it and set the matter right.

When You Have "Nerves."

When in state of nerves" it is
not best to seek human sympathy
Our friends have troubles of their
own, and it is too bad to risk breaking
the possible weak line Of the chain OF
friendship.
Yet this is just what many of us do.
When everything is using US awry
we go to see Sue or Kitty.
If shown a pale-green silk Sue has
just bought for a blouse, we remind
her how CHASTITY Louise looked in that
shade of pale-green, and Furthermore,
acidly admit it's a color we'd never
choose for ourselves.
On the other hand, if we favor (?)
Kitty with our society, we probably
give her to understand that we think
her children ought to be turned out
during the visit; or, if she has no
children. we perhaps suggest that
there ought to be law compelling
people to make their maids wear felt
soled shoes. Or perhaps it is the dog,
or the sunshine.
And then. no doubt, we go home and
waste time wondering why friends are
not what they used to be. So take
that famous piece of advice and
don't" When the blues get you just
fly out of doors if you can.
You may tell your trials to the trees
with no fear Of upsetting them. Their
nerves are warranted. They will muir
muir any amount of consolation, and
go right along with their work, caring
not one whit whether or no you think
their choice of spring garb is a success.
Or go to the clouds. They will take
on all sorts of shapes for your diver
sion, and still troll by none the
worse for your attention.
If even going out is out of the ques-
ton, try it ON the dog. He will listen
with the most fiattering attention, and
if you lay on the agony strong enough
he may whimrer his sympathy. AT
any rate, he will stay by you and sit
close until you take more roseate
view of affairs in this vale of tears.
And then he will show his glee most
Enthusiastically. How his tail will fly!
Should none of these be within your
reach. there is still one solace left. You
can surely recall some person much
worse off than yourself In coming
over his or her woes you will at least
find comparative comfort At any rate,
save your friends. You may need
them some day-Philadelphia Ledger.
