are seldom produced by precip-
itation within the limits of the
main valley, but almost always
arise from the rapid release of
water from the upper areas
and slopes of the water shed.
: This rapid release Of
water from the upper area is
due to the collective agency of
burrows, bitches and gulches of
the uplands, together with the
drainage bitches and canals of
the low lands to the river.
On the 4th of July, 1902, the
Boyer river, at Woodbine, was
pretty full, and on the follow
ing morning it was more than
full-out of it's banks, and it re-
manned out of its banks for five
consecutive weeks; the river
channel was greatly filled by
deposits; II inches of rain fell
for the entire month; for July,
1878, the rainfall was over 13
inches for the entire month
eight inches fell in one day
but neither destructive floods
occurred, nor were five con-
secutive weeks required or
flood subsidence.
Flood on the Missouri RIyer In 1881.
"From Omaha, st. Joseph,
Kansas City and Glasgow, re-
ports were received that after
the river got out of it's banks,
the rate of rise increased,
while the current was so slack
ened that skiffs could row about
with ease, although before the
river left it's banks and after it
returned to them the current
was so strong that even steam
boats were unable to stem it.
Briefing this report we have;
1. Excepting the floods of
1874, the floods of 1881 were
the highest ever known on the
river. 2. The volume of water
was but thirds of the ordin-
ary June rise. 3. The crest
of the flood required twice the
time required by the flood of
1879, held all the way within
the banks, to travel from Sioux
City to st. Charles, Mo-, a dis
tance of about 800 miles. d.
Where the river was out of it's
banks, the velocity of the water
was greatly retarded and the
channel decidedly filled up by
deposits.
CAS- the rise came solely from
above Sioux City and was en-
tirely uncomplicated by tribut-
ary action, an unusually favor
able opportunity was afforded
for observing the effect of
overflow upon the movements
of a large body Of water. Study
of the observed facts shows
that the great retardation Of
the free flow of water, superin-
duced by the enormous increase
in sectional area, was sufficient
to cause the water to pile up
till an abnormal flood height
was reached. A very marked
diminution in the velocity of
the current was also noticed
during the period of overflow,
and as a consequence, a decided
filling up of the bed of the
stream.
"The conclusion deduced
from a study of the facts here
presented indicates that in this
case an overflow of the banks,
so far from affording relief in
creased the height of the flood
crest; while conversely, they
also indicate that preventing
such overflow would have low
cred the whole flood surface.
Floods on the Mississippi RIver.
"While these two floods,
1882-l883, attained, approxi-
mately, the same heights along

sonal observation of all classes
engaged on the river, engin-
eers, steamboatmen and plant
ers. In 1883, when the flooG
wave was excluded from the
Yazoo bottom, the great veloc.
ity along its front was univers-
ally noticed by the same OBJ
servers.
"The loss of volume through
high-water outlets causes boil
a dimlnution Of velocity, and
DETECTION of the thread of tho
movement of the stream to
wards the outlet, accompanied
by loss of power necessary t,
transport the material will
which it is loaded. The exces:
of load is dropped in the bed
decreasing the section below
the outlet.
cit is known that the rate o.
progress of the apex of a flood
wave of sufficient height to al
low escape by overflow is much
slower than that of a wave
contained within the banks
The subsidence of an overflow.
ing flood is also much retarded.
as compared with one which
has been restrained within
either natural or artificial
banks. 1t is also known that a
large part of the solid matter
moved by force Of the stream
from above, forming obstruct-
ing bars below, passes on very
near the bottom, and that out
lets, therefore, while decreas-
ing the ability of the stream to
do it's work Gts volume and
velocity do not proportionately
diminish the work required to
be done or the burden of solid
matter to be moved"
Immediately below a cutoff
on the Mississippi river the
government established a guage
station to observe the effect on
ood-heights and current We
locity. 1t may be shown that
the current velocity would reg
ularly increase up to the time
of each overflow, and regularl y
decrease in the time of each
overflow, though the flood
height would increase from
four to five feet.

"Perch Party"

Mrs. j. S. Dewell was hostess
to a few young ladies last even
ing at a porch party at her
home on Eighth street. The
occasion was complimentary to
Miss Cora Dewell, of Gushing,
who is her guest. Settees and
rugs were scattered around on
the porch making it have a very
cozy appearance. The even
ing was spent most enjoyably.
Several musical selections were
given by Miss Lydian Schultz
which were very we'll received.
At the close Of the evening
delicious refreshments were
served by Mrs. Dewell. The
following young ladies enjoyed
the hospitality of the evening:
Misses Dewell, of Cushing,

be found in the shops for 35 cents.
An old fashion In jewelry that has
been revived Is that of woven chains,
and these made into bowknots, the ends
finished with fine gold fringe. A short
neck clnln Is made in this way with
the bows In front A pendant set with
a large stone of some kind hangs from
the center of the knot
Agate rings for the woman born in
January are Il fancy of the moment,
and, In fact, all symbolic jewery Is n
present craze.
For the economical woman who likes
the appearance Of silken skirts there
are pretty ones of gloria. They have
not quite the body of taffeta skirt,
but are durable and effective.
Ribbon embroidery seems to have
caught the fancy of exclusive women
and Is used for all kinds of sartorial
decorations. The dainty child's hat
seen In the Illustration Is q charming
example Of this work. 1t Is in white
cloth mounted on crinoline frame.
The brim is finished with a scalloped
design worked in blue silk, and pretty
Powered and ribbon pattern covers
the brim and center of the crown. A
roll of soft white satin ribbon encircles
the crown and ties in a long fiat bow
at one side.

the head and crown all with shower
Of artificial curls. The pompadour Is
arranged low and irregularly over the
forehead, and few stray curly locks
are hung from it.
Gray is predicted as a fnvorite fall
color. 1t is to be worn In light and
gun metal shades. In chevlots and
twecds the gray mixtures are always
good.
Not many sleeves differing from the
bodice have been seen as yet, but the
elbow sleeves have frequently been so
curtailed that the lower sleeve as
sumes an Importance not otherwise ac-
corded 1t. White lawn sleeves and vests
accompany even dark cloth costumes
and are considered very chic.
Puffed undersleeves of openwork
embroidery are very smart. The sleeve
indeed is by far the most important
part of q dress at present. AS a rule,
1t is small and in evening dress is
often entirely absent.

scarf, made of the filmy muslin be-
loved Of our great-grandmothers and

In the new art style are the prevailing
motifs. Among the most favored de-
signs are iris flowers of chased matte
gold enameled In natural colors. An
other handsome hatpin consists of u
large baroque pearl surrounded with
thistle leaves delicately wrought. An
exquisite and original pattern Is Of
light tortoise shell, the top adorned
with an OWLS hend of chased matte
gold. The birds eyes are of rubies.
Long chains retain their popularity
The latest creations in this line con-
sist of links of gold alternating with
small beads of opals. To the long
chains are attached various charms.
With dresses of soft tan, pearl gray
and the palest champagnes long gloves
of exactly the same shades are worn
instead of white.
Rose color Is becoming smart for
light cloth tailor made dresses. 1t is
very effective when worn with sheer
white lingerie bionses.
The blouse waist Illustrated Is OF
white china silk. The front fullness Ii
disposed in graduated sun rayed tucks
covered wlta motifs of English eni
broldery. The elbow sleeves are dotted
with the motifs.

CHECKED CANVAS GOWN.

shape of a puff, reaching nearly to the
elbow. The cuff may be made up of
frills of silk and lace or of lace and
material. Velvet bows of the pompa-
dour style catching up the drapery in
some instances look very well.
Shawls of lace are used for evening
wraps. Beautiful examples in black
and white Spanish patterns are much
in vogue over muslin frocks. Very
lovely are large black French lace
shawls carelessly arranged about the
shoulders over some pale color.
The gown illustrated is of black and
white checked canvas. The skirt,
trimmed about the bottom with bias
pieces of the canvas, is box plated
from an indented yoke. The waist is
carried out in the same fashion.
Around the chemisette of lace are q
turnover collar and tie of forest green
panne velvet. The girdle is also of
this velvet.

sist Of double gold bar curved like
the pin Of berretta. These bars come
In different heights. At each end are
small jewels or stones of some kind
which, set in gold, unscrew so that
the pin or screw part may be put
through the lace at top and bottom Of
the collar. The collar holders come in
real and in imitation gold.
Hats are growing larger, with hint
of higher crowns. Wells that float
from the back of hats are worn when
driving.
A new sailor hat has appeared with
large crown and shallow brim, which
Is draped with mousseline de sole veil
in one of the smart colors of the sea-
son.
Ostrich plumes and broderie an
glaise reign triumphant in the realm
Of dress and have exceeded the popu-
larity expected of them.
Every material that is filmy and
elaborately embroidered is fashionably
approved.
The chic little hat seen in the cut is
of black erin faced with white. Where
the brim curves at one side of the
front Is placed a bunch of tiny rose
buds. Curving over the back is Il
long handsome white ostrich feather.

Straw Hats.

There should be law against any
reduction In the price Of straw hats in
the latter part of the summer. When
a man has gone through the painful
operation Of extracting So from his
pocket to exchange for q jaunty lid 1t
gives him feeling such as the Indians
must have had when in quest of a
scalp when he passes the store window
a few weeks later and sees the same
bit Of straw marked down to 80 cents.
A man doesn't care how much profit
a storekeeper makes off him so long as
he does not find 1t out, but when he
learns that 1t is something like 600 per
cent he feels like calling a meeting and
starting a new political party to get
revenge.
If we could have our seasons run
backward, like Chinese book, 1t might
fill long felt want for just one season.
After that the willy storekeeper would
catch on and reverse his prices to suit
the change.

that Is past. Tho severe shirt waist
blouse has lost prestige, but the simple
blouse and skirt costume is too prac-
tical and comfortable a garment to
discard.
Red as color is having a great
vogue and in stocks it Is very much
in evidence. The prettiest Of the red
stocks are those that are made of
white linen, hand embroidered, through
which wide red satin ribbons are run.
Some very attractive motor coats are
of shantung severely tailored and heav-
lily stitched with silk.
The new hats are larger and boast
higher crowns. Women soon tire of
the tip tilted shapes of the spring and
summer, and the modistes are not in
sisting upon their reappearance in felts
and velvets.
Foliage hats for autumn are smart
when made Of white and red currants
or apple leaves, with bunch of tiny
apples as trimming.
Large pearl and white bone buttons
are to appear on the new coats.
Plain and appropriate is the mourn
ing frock illustrated. Henrietta is the
material employed in It's construction.
The skirt is in many cores, each one
stitched and rounded at the bottom.

Capes are going to be modish little

stockings are worn with white dresses
and hats, while the parasol matches
the shoes.
High tan shoes are now in the shops.
Earlier in the season they were diff
cult to get.
Skirts still show plenty of cores, sew
enteen and twenty-five often appearing
In model, and nine and ten yards are
not an excessive measurement for a
skirt around the bottom.
Sunshades that match the dress ma
terials are much favored. Even trim
mings of dresses are repeated on the
parasols. If a gown is trimmed with
lace and ribbon the same design will
be reproduced on the parasol.
For real service the we'll dressed
woman wears plain brown face veil.
White china silk makes a charming

ERILLs AND EolRLEs.

Detachable founces on petticoats de-
signed for evening wear are a new
idea. Buttons are sewed on the white
cambria petticoat and the colored silk
ruffies attached. Economy is the OBJ
ject, but coolness and fiuffiness about
the foot of gown are secured at the
same time. The ready made flounces
come only in two colors, but an old silk
frock may be cut up and the desired
flounces made with little effort.
The much worn full skirt Is going
out this fall, and in its place have
come many gored close fitting jupes
cut In circular fashion.
An endless variety of hatplns is
shown. Flowers and foliage treated
