MORE RAIN HAS FALLEN IN
THE PAST FOUR WEEKS
THAN SOME WHOLE YEARS HAD
Over a Foot of Water Has Fell
During the Past Month.

During the past four weeks Ford eoun-
ty has had "A rainfall OF nearly thirteen
inches 10 give the exact figures as
taken by the government bureau here,
1880 inches have fallen since August
"a.
Since the drst Of September the rain
fall has been 922 inches. And since
last Sunday evening, when the flood
proper came there has been 6. 30. inches.
The rainfall Of the last four weeks
stands as most extraordinary record on
the books of the weather bureau. Itex
ceeds the otal rainfall for the entire year
of 1875, 1891, 1893 and 1890. The total
rainfall for 1875 was 1906 inches OF
1891 y 60 inches: OF 1893, 10 u inches
and of 1890, ll.72 inches.
The rainfall OF some years has reached
80 inches, but the average for the past
thirty years is something like q inches.
The rainfall Of the past four weeks then,
is over half of the average for a year dur
Ing the past thirty-one years.
This not only looks like Western Kan
sas has entered q new era in receiving
moisture, but it places Ford county In the
center of the rain belt, because this
county has been getting the heaviest Of
the heavy rains which have been falling
In Western Kansas.
The total rainfall Of the present year
will exceed by far any thing on the re-
cord since the establishment Of the wea.
thsr bureau.

WHEAT TRAIN IS OFF.

SyI Dixon Left Dodge City Tuesday
with the Western Kansas Wheat Train
The wheat train sent from Western
Kansas as an advertisement for this
part of the country, left Dodge City on
last Tuesday evening and is now in
Hutchinson for few days at the state
fair, before starting on the trip to Chica-

Syl Dixon, the advertising train king,
is in charge of The trip, aud Arthur l..
Soule who has for several years been
with the GLOBE REPUBLICAN is with the
train as the representative of the real
estate men of Dodge City.
The Dodge City and Garden City cars
were decorated here Tuesday morning
and presenting an attractive appearance
The Dodge City ear had some fine paint
ings covering the entire sides of the car.
One was a life sized maiden In field Of
wheat done In colors and labeled "The
Cleaner" Another large painting was
two men between whom was a large
platter of fine fruits. On one side of the
car was a life sized Hereford the entire
animal being covered with grains of corn,
the corn being of colors to give the natu-
ral colors of the Hereford, There were
numerous comic drawings added to nil
up the remainder of the space, excepting
the large blank left for the inscription of
Dodge City, Ford county, Kansas.
The triumph OF the whole train will
be the baggage car which was loaded
down with fine exhibits of fruits, vege.
tables and grains. The writer saw car
a few years ago that was sent from
California to the eastern states that did
not have as fine an exhibit. The car when

The wreck was caused by soft track.

the wreck occurred the train was running
slowly through water. The tender went

on. The train back of the engine to the
hind trucks of the last car was derailed.
The track at the wreck was left ia bad
shape and before 1t could be repaired
there were other washouts. The trains
were tied up at Dodge City and at points

SIX INCH RAIN.
Greatest Rain in the History Fell Sun
day Night.

SreateSt nam IN tne history Fell Oun'
day Night.
The rain which came the first Of thi'
month was called Scordbreaker, but i
was not IN ii with the rain which fell or
last Sunday night. Over two inches fell
in half an hours time Sunday evening,
and at 7 O'Clock the next morning the
government gauge showed that ave Inches
and thirty eight hundredths had fallen.
The rain continued after that until we
had enough more to piece out elk inch
fall of water.
Sunday night nearly every street In the
town was running river and consider
able damage was done to streets and
by the wash ou's.
ThYre is moisture enough ln the ground
at present to last indefinitely, and 1t will
perhaps encourage the planting of still
larger acreage Of wheat than had been
planned before.

ACROSS FARM IN A BOAT
Queer Sight at the Washout Near
Kinsley Yesterday.

A travelling man who makes Dodge
City was telling yesterday of queer
sight that he saw ust this side Of Kinsley
where 80 much of the Santa Fe track was
washed out. The surrounding country
was all flooded. A farmer who lived
some distance from the washout had a
small boat and actually rOwed across his
farm and came up to where the men were
working at the track.
He is the first man who has ever had
the experience of rowing across the
prairies of this country in boat, and it
was sight that will not be forgotten In
that part Of the country soon. In a few
years perhaps, that farmer will be telling
this story and most of his hearers will
think that be is simply famous liar.

said they would be there on'y until
the groom found suitable flat-possi-
bly, week. But they stayed and
stayed and the "old gentleman" began
to get tired of supporting them. To
make matters worse the bride and
groom complained every time ham or
hominy, of which the girls parents
were fond, was served at meals.
1--WE can't stand ham and hominy,"
said the groom. Neither of us can
eat It,"
This declaration was made one day
at the noon meal. That evening, while
the bride and groom were sitting on
the porch with her father, a wagon
backed up to the curb in front of the
house and the driver began unloading
a box and barrel.
Hasn't that driver made mis-
take?" asked the groom.
NO." replied the girls father.

Butcher Forgot Good Joke Had a
String Attachment.
In the village of East Bridgewater,
in the summer of 1886, a soap drum.
mer did a little advertising from the
rear end of wagon. He told stories,
cracked jokes, asked conundrums and
sang songs, accompanying himself on
parlor organ. Incidentally he sold
soap.
He asked the big audience gather,
ed around the wagon In the public
square: "Why didn't God give WON
en- beards?"
No one replied, so the drummer an
swered: Because he knew tkst
women couldn't keep their mouths
shut long enough to get shaved"
The village butcher, Luther Shaw,
was nightly pleased, and the next
morning, to pass the joke along, he
jollied an early woman customer, say
ing:
"Ha! ha! ha! That was good one
last night about you women not hav
ing boards because God knew you
couldn't keep your mouths shut long
enough to be shaved! Ha! ha! hal!
The woman gave Shaw an icy stare.
and in frosty voice inquired "Tn.
deedi And Is that the reason, Mr..
Shaw. that you wear full beard?"
