COOPERATIVE COOKING.
An Abilene Experiment That Was
Dream.

Abilene, Kan, July 24-The west sides
fond dream of emancipation from the
troubles of housekeeping, servants and
cooking has faded. The Cooperative
Dining club has disbanded.
This club was a union of a dozen fam
lilies on West Third street to serve all
meals on the cooperative plan. Part of
large residence was leased, a cook and
walters installed and complete equip
ment for table and kitchen provided.
Col. E. c. Little drew up the articles
of faith, the constitution. bylaws and
regulations and the working plans were
admirable. They included a practical
application of the initiative and referen-
DUN, with equality for all. The women
members were to take turns managing
the club, one week each, and it was es-
timated that $3.50 a week per person
would pay the bills Everything work
ed beautifully for a month and then the
cook quit Colonel Little used his pow
ers of oratory to induce her to see the
error of her way, but in vain. The
walters then went on strike and sub
stitutes were hard to obtain The cluh
reluctantly disbanded and the old order
of things was resumed. The local pa
pers carry advertisements of girl want
ed for general homework" and coopera-
tive housekeeping win not again be I'M
dertaken.

The Downs girls band is composed
of girls between the ages of 16 and 20
years, and is capable of producing
very good grade of band music. The
girl band idea appears to be a popular
one in the west end of the state. ana
the existence of the Downs organiza-
ton has been a successful one. The
girls have purchased suits. hats and in
expense of about $500. They are out of
debt and have met with good home
support during the series of concerts
they have given at Downs. Their first
leader was DIR. S. NJ. Travis. formerly
a musician in the navy. The present
leader. Jim" Z. Davis is well known

BLUE RAPIDS TROUBLES.
The Little Blue Refuses to Stay in Its
Channel.

Blue Rapids. Kan, July 24.-Blue
Rapids has had another tussle with the
incorrigible Blue river.
The temporary dam was successfully
closed up and the water power had re-
sumed business when a rise came down
the Little Blue. The new dam held firm,
so the water sought a new passage into
the new channel and turned to the east
end of the dam where the bank had not
been sufficiently riprapped. cutting
through. thus shutting off the water
power again.
Work was begun right away and now
the banks are fully strengthened and
the cut will be Immediately closed up.
What curve the river will take on next
is the question. 1t will meet a deter
mined check whatever it is. We will
fight it with the material that has been
proven best for the purpose. rocks, sand
bags and willow brush. There is work
for all able bodied men and boys in
town. Blue Rapids has never been so
busy before nor her workmen so well
paid.
The building of the permanent dam
across the new channel and the bridge
it has made necessary will give work all
summer.

GAS AT BLUE RAPIDS.
High Water Uncovers Vein Which
Burns Well.

Blue Rapids, Kan, July 24.-NaturaI
gas has been discovered on John Nor
rows farm northwest of town. 1t ap-
pears the high water loosened some of
the rock IL the creek on the farm and
thus uncovered the gas.
Whether it is of sufficient quantity to
develop will be decided by experts who
have been sent for to investigate. Some
very interesting experiments have been
made and the gas burns with a bright
and steady flame.
If it should prove to be a good well it
will be a bonanza for this section and
distinct benefit to Mr. Morrow who
suffered great loss by the floods.
A number of business men are ready
to go in deep if gas is developed.

Escaped by Aid of His Teeth.

Leavenworth, Kas., July 24.-Benja-
min w. Starnes, alias Stratton. a one
armed train robber from Oklahoma,
escaped from the federal penitentiary
at FIT. Leavenworth Thursday. Starnes
was confined in the crank" house. He
dug out of the building into the prison
yard. Starnes then climbed a blanket
rope to the top of a wall 25 feet high
by using his teeth and one arm. The
marks the blanket rope show he
used his teeth. Starnes is the train
robber who put on a false arm and
held a revolver with it in holding up
a train. He tried to show at his triaf
that he was not the right man because
he had only one arm.

slid Down a Stack Onto a Fork.

Chadler, young farmer living south
west of town, met with peculiar and
perhaps fatal accident while pitching
hay. While on top of haystack he at
tempted to slide down, but was stopped
by the handle of his pitchfork. which
was driven into his body fully ten inches.
He hung in the air some time before he
was rescued and then it took all a mans
strength to pull the fork out of the
wound. His intestines were terribly lac
Grated.

Sends its fragrance from the trees
And the Odor of the sweet-breathed

And I'd shout and run and climb,
If only were a farmer

WILD FLOWERS

Charlotte, n. O., March 2S.-
A special to The Observer from
Knoxville, Tenn, says: A des-
perate affrsy between citizens of
North Carolina and the constab-
ulary Of Tennessee occurred this
morning 30 miles from Madison
vile, on the Tennessee North
Carolina line, resulting In the
death Of two men, James Flower,
father, aud John Flower, son.
The affair arose over land in the
vicinity, Of the location of which,
in regard to the state line, was
disputed and upon which diverse
claims of ownership were based,
Washington Altman, who now
occupies the land, claiming it be-
cause it lies In Tennessee, and
the Flowers claim it for North
Carolina. Yesterday the two
Flowers, supported by other sons,
forcibly elected Altman from the
land. Altman swore out war
rants for the four men and a
posse OF constabulary headed by
Horace Witt endeavored to serve
the warrants, notwithstanding the
Flowers, who had entrenche ed
themselves, defied arrest. This
morning, while two of the Flower
boys were gone after supplies, an
attack was made on the remain
ing two, father and son, and in
the melee which followed both
were killed, the posse men esca.
ping without injury. The affair
was a pitched battle and created
intense excitement, though the
general feeling is that the Flow
ers courted deaih by resisting
arrest.

BOYS, Is THIS TRUEl

"I'll bet that boy is from the
South" said a man as he saw a
lad OF about II come in and taGe
his place at another table in the
dining room.
Have you heard him speak %
asked the other man.
"No; that is not necessary.
You will notice that his hair is
correctly brushed in front, while
behind it looks as if it has been
tumbled up by western torna-
do.
at is Southern boys way. |
never knew one who brushed the
hair on the back of his head. |
don't know why, nor do l know
why a Southern boy who has to
shine his own shoes never puts a
polish on the heels. He will
labor in getting a mirror shine on
the front of his shoes and leave
the heels untouched until they
become russell in shade.
''There is another thing that
you will notice about a boy who
has been raised in the South
he rarely parts his hair in the
middle. 1t is either parted on
the side or reached.
81 don't know what has be-
come of the boy with what we
used to call the cowlick on his
hair, but at one he was very nu-
merous. l haven't seen a boy
with cowlick since the war, but
when lived in the South he was
often seen."
