Kansas Unparalleled Climate.
CHAs. E. DODGE, Clerl

The Kansas climate is absolutely
unparalleled. The variety it offers
to residents and visitors has no peer
and but few imitators. Kansas never
has two years alike any more. A
few decades ago there was a monoto-
nous sameness about weather in Kan
sas. twas drouthy in the spring,
which was followed by a hot, dry
summer, after which warm dusty
autumn led up to dry, brown winter.
Then came the immigrant on the
prairies. So persistent was he that
the heavens became chronic frowners
aud now we frequently have a year
divided into wet and dry seasons in
stead of theold-fashionedfour seasons.
Now and then a year is altogether
dry, and this present year is altogeth-
er wet. Next year will be something
altogether different from any prece-
dent. Kansas is a great state, and
one great element of its greatness, is
its great variety of weather.-Norton
Champion.

The Act Or a Brave Man.

Fred Rosenbrook, formely of 1ia-
watha, a Missouri Pacific brakeman
on the Lincoln branch, saved the life
of little girl by leaning over the
cowcatcher of fast running engine
and snatching her literally out of the
NAV of death. The train was coming
very fast when the baby was seen
playing on the track. The mother in
the house, 200 feet from the track,
saw the train, heard the whistle and
ran for the child. The engineer tried
to stop the train, but when the brake
man, who happened in the cab, saw
the child he ran forward over the en-
CINE to the COW catcher and in some
manner saved the child. ''There
was a troubled look in her eyes when
[ grabbed her-she didn't know why
the engine whistled So" said the
brakeman, 'and when I grabbed her
and fell back on the cow catcher with
her. she said, My mamma wants
me- The train stopped hundred
yards beyond where the child was
picked off the track and the trainmen
and the mother paved over Rosen-
brook until he borrowed a match,
lighted his pipe and climbed on top
of freight Car to get away from
them. World.

Another Injunction Suit.

Injunction suits seems to be the
order of the day. One was filed by
the county attorney last Friday, on
behalf of Walnut township, to stop
some bond refunding proposition.
It seems that some time ago
an agreement was entered into
by the township officers with F.
w. Casner of Kansas. City, to refund
some $4,000 of the townships bonds
now running at 6 per cent, for 5 per
cent bonds. The deal was made and
salmost complicated.
Mr.. Casner or his representative
came out with the new bonds, and
had them properly signed up, and
received his warrants for making the
deal. The new bond carried coupons
calling for per cent interest, and
there was an additional coupon
separate, calling for l per cent. The
man explained this saying it would
be easier to handle them in the mar
ket at 4 per cent. The bonds were
left with the clerk, to be registered
and it was then discovered that the
/ per cent interest held on the whole
issue for the full length of time, 80
years, when the deal was that the
bonds were to be paid so much per
year. He and the board thought
there was some fraud in the trausac-
ton, and consulted with the county
attorney, and the injunction was the
result.
