his trousers pocket and pulled out a
large roll of bills with a rubber string
around them. He peeled off a $50
bill, put the roll back and began talk

Southwest Is Drenchcd.
Albuquerque, n. NJ, April 24.-New
Mexico and Arizona have been fairly
drenched by a rain and snow storm
which has continued over the two ter
ritories for SO hours. and which for
duration and heaviness of precipitation
is unprecedented. Phoenix reports the
heaviest rainfall of the west. Swollen
streams of central Arizona are far out
of their banks. The plains of western
New Mexico form a sea, and all traffic
from the coast on the Santa Fe is in
terrupted.
From five to 10 feet of snow lies in
the mountains It is melting rapidly
and streams are rising. Washouts are
feared.
The cold storm will be fatal to
calves and lambs. as well as to many
old cattle, which have been thinned
by a severe winter.

FOR A wAsHBURN CLUE.
Plan on Foot to Organize One in
Topeka.

A. plan is on foot among former
members and alumni of Washburl
college who are now living in Topeka
to form a Washburn College club in
this city. While the plan has been
discussed for a number of years, the
scheme is now taking definite forma-
ton, and a meeting will be announced
within a few days at which time Il
formal working organization will be
born.
The plans are of very extensive
nature. There are enough "old Wash
burn men" in Topeka to maintain 4
good club house-and that is one OF
the features to be embraced in the
proposed organization.
Many of the colleges in the United
States maintain large former student
and alumni clubs and they are of
material aid to the school in every
way. They help in getting money to
build up the institution. They main
tain the school spirit better than any
scheme which has ever been devised
They help college athletics to de-
gree that can hardly be guessed at

That we can sell 85c bed
