SANTA E,E AT ATCHIsoN.
Unique and Original Exhibit at Corn
Carnival.

One of the most original and clever
exhibits at the Atchison Corn Carnival
was that made by the Santa Fee Rail-
road company. Their exhibit repre-
sented an oVershot water mill. 1t was
a familiar sight in states farther east
years ago, and F. D. Coburn, VIII o
knows all about farms and farming,
said it was so true to life that it car
ried him back to the days of his boy
hood. The plans for the mill were de-
signed and executed by B. J. Mileham,
an employe in the paint department of
the Santa Fe shops.
The wheel was operated by an cleo
trio motor and carried its corn around
all day long. The mill was 10x12 feet
on the ground and 25 feet high.
Above all was an old fashioned Dutch
windmill with four fans, making the
height 80 feet. The entire building
was beautifully decorated with corn of
different colors, the principal feature
being sunflowers worked out with red,
yellow and white kernels of corn all
glued on and vanished over.
At night the mill was a perfect
shower of light from the scores of in
candescents placed over the building.
The center piece facing the street was
in the form of a painting representing
fully equipped Santa Re passenger
train rushing across the prairie at full
speed and right below it was an old
familiar prairie schooner labeled
'tSanta Fe'

pardon in the case, and Governor Bal

says: The weather bureau predicted rain
today, and It came In quantities to crafty
the most liberal forecaster. Half gale
came with the torrent, that did its worst
here between and 1920 o'clock this morn
ing. The wind appeared fercer than IT
really was, because 1t hurled the rain in
sheets against the panes and woke up
folks who happened to be sleeping near
the windows.
The highest force the wind attained was
thirty-seven miles. The rainfall was one
of the heaviest ever recorded on a Sep
TENDER day. being $50 inches. and for half
an hour or more the sewers In many parts
of the several boroughs were choked and
streets were flooded.
The southeast wind played havoc with
the bathing pavilions and railroad APP
proaches at Coney Island. The steps of
Balmer's bathing pavilion were partly
washed away. Train service on the Coney
Island express line was abandoned during
the afternoon on account of threatened
washout at the Coney Island terminal and
1t was late in the evening before service
could be resumed.
