OF Interest to Horse Breeders

1t is quite evident that just late
". more Than ever before, High
land horsemen haye become dis
satisfied with the scrub horses they
have been raising from year to
wear: As they have for sometime
sought to improve the cattle of
the county, and have succeeded
wonderfully well, so are they now
looking up the horse business with
the view of making it more pleas
ing and profitable.
For the past few wears Highland
has furnished the market a limited
numb Der of heavy horses for which
their owners got good returns, but
when it comes to horse of medium
weight, with style and action, they
are sadly wanting in the county.
II can not be denied that right
here is room for vast improvement.
As Highland is an ideal place to
make perfect steer so is it with
reference to getting all that is pref
tv and valuable out of horse flesh.
The cordial reception given Sir
Walter Raleigh is evidence that
better quality of this character Of
horses is desired, and That no mis-
take has been made in selecting
him. nav be seen by the following
clippings from The American
Horse Breeder:

descendants Of Bingen, sire Of Sir

A SURE SIGN

There are a good many people
who find that by drawing the eye
lids almost shut, their vision is i'm
proved. Whenever they want to
see objects sharply, they are to
partially close the lids. There was
never a case of this kind that could
not be benefited with glasses. In
nearly every case, the "squintlng'
can be entirely overcome. 1t is
always due to the eyes being out Of
focus. Drawing down the lids
shuts off the blurred light and
makes vision clearer. A correctly
fitted lens will throw all the rays
to a perfect focus and make the
object clear and distinct. With
the glasses on, the wider the lids
are opened, the better the wcarcr
sees. They place the eye in 4 nor
NAL condition and remove all strain
and effort. Correctly adjusted
lenses is my speciality.

FLOODS AND STORM.
Property Destroyed at Fort Scott BY
Water and at Mcpherson BY Wind.

Fort Scott, Kan, April 25.-Fort
Scott is experiencing the most serious
food in it's history Marmaton river
and Mill creek, which runs into the
former stream here, have risen ten
feet in the past "a hours, the result OF
heavy rains. Several hundreds of per-
sons have been rescued in boats. AS
far as known no lives have been lost.
The estimated loss to live stock drown
ed and property damaged is 800, 900
The two streams began to rise at 10
o'clock Saturday night and Sunday the
city was divided into three sections
and almost completely isolated. Sun
day night the entire northern part OF
the city was cut off and part, of the
city is inundated Ten feet Of water
is rushing through the streets in that
part of the city and several hundred
persons in what is known as BelltOwn
have been forced to leave their homes.
Kansas City, April 25.-Unusual!y
heavy rain and wind storms. causing
more or less damage, prevailed in
Western Missouri and Central Kansas
Sunday, with a blizzard in Western
Kansas. Small streams in Kansas are
over their banks and many telephone
and telegraph poles have been blown
down. One drowning is reported
Many trains are late on account of
washouts.
Mcpherson, Kan. April 25.-A Sc
we're tornado struck Mcpherson Sun
day afternoon, demolishing six resi-
dences and causing more or less other
damage to property. Three persons
were injured, one seriously. Much
damage was done in the country north
of here.
The tornado passed four miles east
of Salina, wrecking telephone and tele-
graph poles and farm property. Eff
forts were made to follow the course
of the storm by telephone, but all the
wires are down.
1t is miracle that great damage
was not done at Mcpherson and many
persons killed, as the tornado barely
missed the thickly settled residence
district.

resumption of the interrupted pathos:
"Diddy, diddy"-
Something was still wrong. He grew

third attempt, not more Ineligible.

A Smuggling Scheme.

Many are the devices employed by
smugglers both by land and sea. A
very smart trick is related Of method
by which brandy was conveyed
through Paris. Regularly, day after
day, a tandem bicycle made its way
through one of the gates into the city
and attracted no attention The same
pair Of cyclists rode it always and APP
peared to be but workmen Fastening to
their work from their homes in the
suburbs. One morning, just after the
machine was through the gates, it
went to earth, unseating both the
riders. The man who had occupied the
front seat jumped to his feet, grabbed
the machine, vaulted into the saddle
and rode for his life, never giving a
glance at his stunned companion. AS
tonished, the customs officers, who had
witnessed the mishap, rushed to the
aid of the fallen man, who showed no
signs of life. They were still more sur
prtsed when they reached him, for he
wasn't man at all, but just dummy
with movable legs and arms, false
head and face and a hollow body Of
rubber. He had punctured in the fall
and ten gallons Of the best brandy was
making it's exit as quickly as it could.
