THE REASON

Farms are so much cheaper near To-
peka than in any part of the world. ev
erything considered, is because the rail-
roads will not give rates to Topeka, as
they want to get rid of their land in the
burnt district while the wet weather lasts.
Come where crops never fail when the
soil is properly farmed. 100 good farms
from $35 to 500 per acre.
acres unimproved near street cars. $3.50.
% acres miles out, improved, $500.
A beautiful 90 well improved, 3 miles
out. $500.

Former Champion PueIist Raises Dis
turbance In Brooklyn.
New York, Dec. 5.-Terry McGovern,
the prize fighter, has gone crazy, and it
looks as though his madness has set
tied upon him permanently. He is in
the observation ward of the Kings
County hospital, and experts who have
examined him say that to allow him
at large in his present state would en-
danger the lives Of those whom he en-
countered.
Less than twentyfour hours previ-
Washington, the former champion pu-
gilist, who threatened persons on the
street with loaded revolver and an
imaginary bomb, was received at the
White House by President Roosevelt,
who pleased his vanity Dy calling him
"the greatest little man in the world"
Mrs. Grace McGoyern, his wife, to
whom he has always beef>intensely de-
voted, went with Joseph Kenny, Ter
ry's father-in-law, to Washington to
bring him home because she heard that
he was acting strangely.
He went directly to Brooklyn to have
breakfast with his family. Everything
went off jovially until Terry suddenly
rose, secured a revolver and an empty
six inch brass shell, ran into the street
and shouted that it was a stick of dy-
Mantle and that he intended to blow
every one to death After terrorizing
the neighborhood McGovern was ar
rested and taken to the hospital.

Lives Reported Lost.

Ell Paso, Tex, Dec. 5-From infor-
nation received here it is believed that
the town of Clifton, Ariz., has been
practically washed away. The Copper
Queen hotel is said to have been swept
away by the food, and at least fifty
persons lost their lives
The concentrator dam, which gave
way, precipitating the great flood upon
the town, was constructed entirely of
earth. The dam was carried away two
years ago as a result of the swollen
streams, and a number OF persons
were drowned.
A message received here from Tue
son, Ariz., says that Clifton is half de-
stroyed. The report that scores of per-

The Continental Wall Paper COM

Judge Devendorf's Charge.

The chief features of Judge Deven-
DORIS charge were as follows:
.gTo all concerned this is a case of
great Importance To the defendant II
is of vast Importance because his life
or liberty hangs on the issue. To the
people 1t is Of infinitely more impor-
tance because the good order of the
community and the safety and life of
its citizens depend upon the faithful,
administration of justice.
'It is important to the people that
crime should be punished where crime
is proved to have been committed and
that the law of the state, the bulwark
of our safety, should not be unheeded.
"If the jury finds that Grace Brown
jumped overheard voluntarily and that
the defendant made no attempt to res
cue her that does not make him guilty,
and the jury must find the defendant
not guilty.
while do not say that you must
agree upon your verdict, would sug.
gest that you ought not, any of you,
place your minds in a position which
will not yield if after careful delibera,
ton you find that you are wrong"

PREACHER HANGED.
Georgian Goss TO scaffold With Negro
For chiIdren's Murder.

For chiIdren's Murder.
VaIdosta, Ga, Dec. 5.-The Rev. J.
G. Rawlings and Alf Moore, a negro,
were hanged for the murder of Willie
and Carrie Carter in June, 1908.
Rawlings in his last statement de
clared that he had told the truth and
that his sons had no connection with
the crime. Moore also declared that
he had told the truth, Rgain insisting
that Hilton Rawlings had fred the
fatal shots.
Rawlings and W. T. Carter were
neighbors twelve miles from here.
Both were Baptist ministers. Several
years ago a dispute arose as to the
line between their respective farms.
Litigation and bad blood resulted. Car
ter was wounded by q shot from aE-
bush and had Rawlings arrested.
A few days later on June 13, 1905, a
night attack was made on the Carter
