FLOODS AGAIN.

The floods increased in many
parts of the state very much in
volume last week. Wichita was
the worst in its history and bust
ness was suspended for few days.
The water on Main and Douglass
was from three to six feet deep.
On Sunday it began to recede and
business resumed on Monday.
There was no loss of life and not
as much loss of property as at first
feared.
In Kansas City, Kansas 10000
people were driven out of their
homes and much property destroy
ed. Wheat in eastern Kansas is
rotting in the shock and much of
It hasn't even been cut. Corn in
many places is drowned out or
taken by the weeds.
In Barber county none of these
misfortunes have befallen us and
we're all glad to live here.

THE manifesto has been issued
from republican headquarters that
the county convention will be held
October 9TH in order to force the
Democrats to nominate first. If
they are 30 certain that they are
going to have such an easy victory
why are they afraid to nominate
before the Democrats do?

JUDGE PARKER notified the con-
vention that he could not accept
the nomination unless a gold
standard plank were Incorporated
in the platform. The Judge, how

of a bluff than business. The
convention didn't incorporate and
so far Parker hasn't declined.

REPUBLICANS in Kansas are

REPUBLICANS in Kansas are al
ready expressing fears that New
York will go democratic. We
hope their fears are founded on
something tangible. Some of the
Kansas Democrats are not very
great admirers of Parker but it's a
case of hating Teddy more.

HAIR OF OCTOGENARIAN
TAKES YOUTHFUL COLOR
At Advanced Age Massachusetts Lady
Cuts Her Second Set of Teeth
and Receivers Vision.

"ToOthless and cappy," the young
woman's description Of her venerable
grandmother. would be singularly in
applicable to Miss Rose Perkins of
Huntington, Mass At the advanced
age OF IS Miss Perkins finds that her
hair, which has been snow white for
many years. is beginning to turn black.
She is also beginning to cut a set Of
new teeth This process Of renais-
sance began about seven years ago.
when her eyesight, which had failed
her several years before, was suddenly
restored to her and she threw her
glasses away. Since then she has had
no use for them.
So excellent is her eyesight, indeed.
that she has just completed a large
star containing the enormous number
of 27S diamonds.
If Miss Perkins does not find old age
the tOothIess, miserable existence it is
reputed to be. neither does she find it
a period Of superhuity. She is smart"
as they say in New England. about the
house, aids materially in the house
work and delights in reading and sew
ing She attends church with a regu-
larity that is enough to shame the
younger generation, walks about town
on little shopping expeditions, visits
her neighbors. and is as cheerful and
lighthearted as a girl OF sixteen. In
deed, she says she feels as if her girl
hood were returning to her. but sup
poses il is only that second childhood
people talk so much about
Her mind is perfectly clear and her
memory is good. She not only recOl-
lects events OF her girlhOOd days. but
keeps well in mind the more recent
events. Instead of Twins in the past
she takes an intense interest in the
present. and she is an entertaining
talker. She says she cannot account
for her white hair turning back 10
black or for the third set Of teeth
which she is cutting, but fancies that
her strong determination not to become
an uninteresting old person may have
something to do with it.-New YORK

in Queer Way in Vicinity

PUEBLO, Colo, Dec. 20.-Evidence
gathered by the police indicates that
the murdered woman found in Chey-
enne Canyon several days ago NAV
have been Sadie Durant. a woman who
came to Pueblo late in October from
California. She left Pueblo on Decem-
Der with the expressed purpose OF
going to Victor for a short visit, and
she has not been heard from since that
time. Her description closely resem-
bles that of the dead woman. But lit
tie is known of her in Pueblo. II is
said that she was separated from her
husband and feared violence in case
he should find her.
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo, Dec.
20.-The latest clew in the murder mys-
terry of Cheyenne Mountain, which has
been received by the Sheriff and Chief
of Police, is now being traced up by
the officers with some show of success
The cleW was supplied by Mrs. Ellen
Il. Jack, who owns a number Of min
ing claims on Cheyenne Mountain and
who discovered several pieces Of wOm-
ans clothing while on her way to the
city yesterday.
A part of a white skirt and portions
of a wooden dress were discovered, but
as she had heard nothing of the SEN
satiOnal murder Mrs. Jack did not re-
port her find until to-day. Sheriff
Grimes and Chief of Police Reynolds
and two officers went at once to the Pc
gfon described by Mrs. Jack
The woman says that about dusk IN
the latter part Of November she saw
a man, whom she took to be a German,
climbing along the hillside in an excit-
ed manner and carrying a bundle in a
gunny sack. He appeared to be avoid
ing the regular roadway as much as
possible, and walked among the trees
along the road. The man was greatly
excited and asked to be directed to
some place to stO- for the night. When
directed to the sectiOn-house on the
Short Line road he paid no attention.
but continued on over the hill toward
Cripple Creek.
John QuiTk Of Denver, who thought
from the description that the body
might be that of his wife, after viewing
the remains. said that his fears were
groundless.

Cigar From King Edward.

One of King Edwards little human
weaknesses is said to be fondness for
witnessing a fire.
A writer in the Peoples Friend tells
of him that, when he was Prince of
Wales, one evening. on hearing the
rush of fire engines passing, he fol-
lowed them to see their operations.
While looking on, he entered into
conversation with reporter. who was
taking notes of the occurrence, and
when about to return home again he
drew out his cigar case and afforded
the reporter cigar. which he willing
ly accepted, and, tearing out leaf
from his notebook. proceeded care
fully to roll it up.
On the Prince asking the reason for
his doing so, he replied: Il may
never again have the honor of receiv-
ing a cigar from your Highness. and
should like to keep this one as SOU
venir.''
The Prince observed: You know
me. then. I did not think 1 should be
recognized" and, again producing his
cigar case. said: "Will you have a
cigar?"
The reporter. nothing loath. accept
ed again the kind invitation, the
Prince remarking as he did so. But
to smoke this time. Post.
