TIE GARDEN or EDEN.
Its Location a Mystery That WiE
Probably Never BE Solved.


The location Of tie earthly paradise
or garden OF Eden is still a matter of
dispute among orientalists and Scriptu-
raj scholars of highest reputation. Some
have endcavored to locate 1t by the
fruits and mineral productions named
in the Biblical descriptions as they -
pear In the second chapter Of Genes s.;
others by the rivers mentioned n
verses II 10 Il Cf the above mentioned
chapter The weight of investigation
and tradition lnclineS 10 an agreement
that the TigriS and the EuphrateS Of
modern geography are the third and
fourth rivers mentioned In the Biblical
description of the garden. Those who
agree so far differ widely as TO what
rivers should now be regarded as the
ancient PisOn and Gihon. The Bud
dhistic scholars, although they reject
cur H,llc u TIE greater part, incline to
tie opinion hat The .'soI ii tie sacred
Canses. and ;hat the Gihon is none
cher than the Me AS to the last. it
is altogether probable tAat tney T-e
correct on that point. because the Bibii-
cal account plainly says that Gihcn
"compasscth the whole land Of ETH
Opia."
Some Investigations confirm that
Elen was a spot Of comparatively
small area located on the tablelands Of
what is now Armenia, from which rise
the Tigris and the Euphrates. A few
hOiars Of distinction argue that the
ALaEic paraG.Se was located In Africa
in the vicinity Of the mountains Of the
Noon. Still another school Of oriental
ists locate TIE celebrated garden In the
,cinty of TIE ancient city Of Babylon
TOu Will notice, however, that none
6 t-csp theorists has been able TO get
ne f0;.r rivers mentioned in the Bib
Zeal account properly located. Neither
have they found place where one
srcat river separates into four heads" >"
~lis beirg the case it is hardly neces-
~lly to add that the exact location Of
Eden is a mystery that will probably
never be solved.

The Wonderful FnctOr IL Is In ths

Dishntegrntion of Rocks.

rial which has been degraded by the
weather and thus affording matrix
sufficient to start the growth Of vege-
tation and afterward TO maintain the
plants. The fibers and roots Of these
plants, bushes and trees thus brought

as wedges TO split up the surface OF
The rock and to commence the process
Of wearing away. From this quality
Of destruction a large class OF plants
derive the name Of saxifrages. or rock

into the minute assures In search Of
water and so assisting In the process
of disintegratIon. In winter the water
collected In the hOllows and creyices
becomes frozen and. expanding as 1t
changes Into Ice, acts like charge OF
blasting material In breaking UP the
rock. The pieces thus detached be-
come further disintegrated by frost
and weather and, being rolled over and

they are carried away down the noun

While this dislntegrating process Is
going on inland the rocks and cliffs on
the coast exposed TO the sea are suf-

the inceSsant action OF the waves Of

Chicago, Sept. 20. - BY pleas In

charges of conspiring in trust to
monopolize the meat industry, at

The attack was made against the i'm

secrecy at the time the jury was
drawn from the box; unlawful pres
ence of a stenographer in the jury

MADISON UNDER WATER:
MUCH DAMAGE is DONE

Madison, Kan, Sept. 20. = One OF
the worst floods that has ever been
experienced here is raging now The
Verdigris has overfiowed its banks
and half of Madison, with popula-
ton of 1000, is under water.
Great difficulty is experienced by
the people in getting from their
homes. AS far as known no lives have
been lost. Wires are down and there
are no trains into the city. The water
covers the Atchison. Topeka & Santa
Fe tracks to depth of six feet.
Chanute.-The highest water ever
known is reported by the Atchison,
Topeka & Santa Fe in Greenwood,
Lyon and Coffey counties. There is
three feet of water in the depot in
Madison; two feet of water over the
tracks at Burlington, and three feet
of water over the tracks at Hilltop.
All trains on the Emporia branch have
been abandoned. the rain was ac-
companied by a tremendous hail
storm and immense damage has been
done all crops in the fields. The ex-
tent of the damage will not be known
for several days.
All roads are impossible and tele-
phone and telegraph communication
is interrupted Every stream is bank
full and rising at a rapid rate. The
water from Emporia and Burlington
will come down the Neosho river,
while that from Madison and Hilltop
will go down the Vcrdigris. Both Of
these rivers are now rising rapidly.
The rain extended all over the South

ern Kansas division of the Atchison,
Topeka G Santa Fe. 1t covered the
counties of Allen, Wilson, Neosho, La
bette, Montgomery, Coffey Greenwood,
Lyon and Elk. All trains have been
delayed for the past two days and
they are all late. AT this place the
Neosho river is now more than half
full and is rising at rapid rate.
At Independence the Verdigris is
rising at the rate of foot and half
an hour When the flood water from
all the tributary streams comes down
1t is feared that the flood conditions
of last year will obtain. There was
another very hard rain last night in
this county, extending as far east as
Wilson and Woodson counties. In
three days more than nine inches of
rain has fallen in this section and in
the section tributary to the Neosho
and Verdigris rivers. The rain did
not extend into Indian Territory at all.
1t is dusty in Bartlesville this morn
ing. The utmost limit was within two
miles of the territory line.
Ottawa rainfall of more than
inches last night following the tre-
mendous downpours of last week has
given this section a flood outlook
which has seldom been equaled The
Marais des Cyges was rising foot
an hour this morning. Points UP the
river reported rains all night and
telephone message from .Quenemo
said the river was rising two feet and
a half an hour. Serious conditions
may be exnected here.

HONEST PHYSICIAN.

1t Is mistake to assume that ply
sicians are always skeptical as to the
curative properties Of anything else
than drugs.
Indeed, the best doctors are those
who seek to heal with as little use
of drugs as possible and by the use
of correct food and drink. A physi-

tom to take coffee with milk (cafe au

cup (cafe noir) after my dinner and
two or three additional small cups at
my club during the evening.
"In time nervous symptoms devel.
oped, with pains in the cardiac region,
and accompanied by great depression
Of spirits, despondency--in brief, "the

but got no relief and at last realized
that all my troubles were caused by

"The tea seemed to help me at first,
but in time the old distressing symp-
toms returned, and quit 1t also, and
tried to use milk for my table bev-
erage. This was compelled however
to abandon speedily, for, while it re-
lieved the nervousness somewhat, it
brought on constipation. Then by q
happy inspiration was led to try the
Postum Food Coffee. This was some
months ago and still use 1t. | am

Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
about three years ago I had intense pain
In my stomach, with cramps and raging
headaches. The doctor prescribed for me,
but finding that I did not get any better he
examined me and, to my surprise, declared
had tumor in the uterus
Ifelt sure that it meant my death warrant,
and was very disheartened. Ispent hundreds
of dollars In doctoring, but the tumor kept
growing, till the doctor said that nothing but
an operation would save me. Fortunately !
corresponded with my aunt in the New Eng
and States, who advised me to try Lydia e.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound before sub
hitting to an operation, and at once started
taking regular treatment, finding to my
great relief that my general health began to
improve, and after three months noticed
that the tumor had reduced in size. I kept
on taking the Compound, and in ten months
1t had entirely disappeared without an oper-
alton, and using no medicine but Lydia =.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and words
fail to express how grateful l am for the good
it has done me. Miss Luella Adams, Colon

Washington, Sept. 20. - James W.
Boyd, a clerk in the Public Health
and Marine hospital service, was ar
rested on warrant sworn out by
Chief Clerk w. P. Worcester Of that
office, charging him with embezzle-
ment. The discovery of facts lead
ing to the charge was made last

amount distracted will, according to
Boyd's Boyds own confession, reach
not less than $4,000.
1t was Boyd's duty to prepare bills
for the approval of the surgeon gen
eral and when checks were signed
they were delivered to him to be
mailed to the persons for whom they
were intended. 1t is charged that he
manipulated the bills by erasing the
dates and amounts of duplicates left
in the Office and that he secured the
money on the checks by endorsing on
them the names of the firms to which
they were issued. The alleged defal-
cation has been in progress for the
