and passed through the body, coming
out just below the shoulder blade. At
this time is is not thought that she is in
a serious condition. The CARROTS live at
500 West Sixth street.
Mr.. CARROTS story is 10 the effect that
he was in his back yard feeding his pigs
and that Mrs Garrett was standing near
talking 10 Mr.. Carr, who is a neighbor
colored man employed by the Santa Fe.
Woodfau came running down the alley
unobserved and shot Mrs. Garrett with
out warning. After Mrs. Garrett fell he
turned and shot at her husband. striking
him in the arm. Carr then made move

tree by the Infatuated man, who also
took a shot al him also, but missed him.
Garrett then procured club and with
the assistance of onIy his good arm put
his assailant out of business for a short
time by knocking him down. He then
bounced upon WoodfaI, but with only
one good arm he was unable 10 take the

woodfan caused a disturbance at the
Garrett house and made some threats.
He was arrested Monday morning for
disturbing the peace. but owing TO a lack
OF evidence the case was continued until
next week This violence was no dou
planned by Woodfau as a revenge for his
arrest over the former difficulty.

ITS OLD NAME.
Kansas City, Kansas, Would Be
Known as WYandotte.

Kansas City. Kan, June 20-At the spec
ial session of the legislature which meets
here next Wednesday, a bill will be in
troduced to have the name Of Kansas
City, Kan, changed back 10 the original
name of Wyandotte. II is not thought
there will be any opposition. and the
bill will in all probability, pass with
cut any dissenting votes.
This probably would not have been done
had it not been for the flood for it is
the recent experience which has brought
the people of that city to a realization
that they labor under q disadvantage
in the name their city bears. Kansas
City, No, was not injured to any great
extent by the flood. II is true their cleo
trio light and water works plants were
put out of commission, but for the most
part. the city itself suffered little. Kan
sas City. Kan. on the other hand. re-
ceived a serious and permanent injury
The general lay Of the land on which
Kansas City, Kan, stands is far lower
than is that of its older and larger sis
ter. When the news was first flashed
ever the wires telling of the great injury
which had been sustained in the Kansas
Citys special reference was made Of the
damage to Kansas City, Kan. People
over the country. however, have never
been able to distinguish between the two
towns. In fact those who have never
paid any particular attention 10 the
matter think that Kansas City. No. is
located in Kansas. These people, when
they heard Of the ravages of the Kaw
sent in 10 find out If Kansas City. No.
desired aid. and upon receiving refusal
never stopped to consider the Kansas
town.
Then. too. Kansas City. Mo, sent out
notices TO the effect that there was no
immediate need OF aid and this placed a
damper on the receipt Of funds in Kan
sas City. Kansas. The damage wrought
there by the food has been great and
it Will take years Of time and q great
amount Of capital to bring even that
busting city back TO the place where it
was before the food.
Had il not been for the name it bore
Kansas City. Kan. which is the largest
town in Kansas. would have had its
due proportion Of the relief fund which
had been sent in separately to the towns
Of Kansas With that name. however.
the people over the country have over
looked the city and as a Jesuit its fund
for relief work is small when compared
with towns even Of smaller population
than il has.

MAY YET REBUILD.
Stockholders VIII Decide About the
Arkansas City Mills.

Arkansas City Kan. June 2o-It has
not yet been decided whether the Arkan-
sss City mile which burned wednesday,
night will be rebuilt The stockholders
Will decide at their next meeting.
The loss resulting from dusk explosion
followed by fire is more than $4,000.
The explosion took place in the bin of
wheat on the second floor and in fifteen
minutes the whole building was mass
of flames, and it is generally conceded
that all the water in the Arkansas City
water works would have had no effect on
the flames for the -four and wheat burn
ed like shavings
Tom Yount, who had just taken per-
manent position with the company as a
tweeper, was thrown twenty feet or more
by the explosion and was set on IRE. He
had the presence Of mind to jump into
the canal, but was sc seriously burned
that he died from his injuries.
Workmen are busy picking UP any
thing of value around the ruins Of the
plant Of the Arkansas City Milliang COM
pany. There is very little property Of
value 10 be found. The machinery and
in fact everything in the burned build
ing was q total loss.
II was found that q bucket brigade
led by H. H Hiu and ". ?. Kolpf did
noble work IN saving the large part Of
the railroad trestle which supported the
wheat elevator switch. 1t was a hot
place to work, and more than once II
looked as though the efforts Of the men
would be IN vain.

WHEAT ISN'T HURT.

lola, Kan, June 20-The Register has
the following 10 say OF the wheat crop:
Very much 10 the surprise Of the own

the water stood a foot deep do not show
any sign OF damage The wheat stands
as straight as il did before the food and

wheat the greter portion Of the grain
remains standing, and while IL VIII not

Thousands of women suffer from sys~
tcmic catarrh. This is sure TO produce
such symptoms as cold feet and hands,
sick headache, palpitation of the heart
and heavy feelings In the stomach.
Then begins series Of experiments.
They take medicine for sick headache.
They take medicine for nervous prostra-
ton, for palpitation Of tho heart, for
dyspepsia. None of these medicines do
any good because they do not reach the
cause OF the complaint. ]
Peruna at once mitigates all these
symptoms by removing the cause.
Systemic catarrh Ia the trouble. Sys-
temic catarrh pervades the whole sys-
tenn, deranges every organ, weakcns
every function. Nopermanent curacan
be expected until the systemic catarfh
Is removed.
This Ia exactly what Peruna viii do.

GETTING SECOND COAT.
The Market House Is Greatly Improved
In Appearance by IL.

The second coat of paint is being
put on the market house building and
changes its appearances greatly, and
also shows how much it was in need
of the improvement. The building
has not been painted for number of
years and the first coat soaked in the
bricks. The shutters on the second
story have been taken down and the
frames painted.
The only thing that remains to be
done now is the starting OF the town
clock. which has not been ION a
strike" for long time. Those who
have the matter in charge are receiv-
ing estimates for the repairing of it
and as soon as they have received
the estimates the matter will be
placed before the council. There is
no doubt that they will act favorably
ON the project.
