was reopened today and traffic by
water and by rail has been resumed.

countered by the authorities is the in
terment of the bodies recovered from
the ruins, as all the cemeteries were
destroyed. At the various temporary
morgues heaps of collins have accu-
mulated, awaiting the designation of
their place of burial. The work of re-
covering the bodies is being pushed to

ANOTHER WHEAT TRAIN.
Schedule Of One to Be Run by Union
Pacific.

The big crop Of wheat in Kansas
seems to inspire the desire on the part
OF many to help double the future crops.
Inc average this year will probably not
Inucn exceed fourteen bushels per acre
while on the college upland farm near
Manhattan the yields this year range
from fifty-one to sixty bushels per acre
The professors at the college insist thar
with proper farming there is no need in
ordinary years of having less than thir-
ty bushels of wheat per acre.
The Union Pacific railroad company
has invited the college men to make d
lecture tour over its western lines next
week. The company will provide a
special train, two lecture cars and a
private living car Lectures will be
given in the cars at the depots. on
Wheat Culture
The lectures will vary from 80 to 40
minutes in length, and the first stop
will be at Chapman, Tuesday morning,
August g. The train will reach Hays
for an evening meeting. The other
evening meetings will be at Sharon
Springs and Waldo, the trip ending at
Minneapolis Friday evening at o'clock.
Western Kansas is a great wheat
country but the experiment station men
feel that the average yield ought to be
larger and more certain and they are
glad of this opportunity of talking to
the farmers, reporting the results OF
their experiment.
High priced land calls for scientific
farming. Kansas farmers are anxious
TO learn from their neighbors and from
their employees at the state experiment
station the best methods of raising
wheat. Experiments are being made
each year that ought to help the general
farmer. These men at Manhattan are
working for the farmers of Kansas at
the states expense and are ready to re-
port the results of their experiments.

Well-Known Citizen Is
Honored by the
Ladies.

Raphael WE'LL was signally honored
yesterday by the ladies of San Fran
cisco He was summoned to a recep-
ton at the home of Mrs. George w.
Gibbs, on Jackson street, and there, to
his great surprise, was presented with
handsome silver loving cup. The gift
was made in the name of the ladies of
San Francisco" as a token of esteem
for Mr.. WE'LL as a citizen and in ap-
probation of his many benevolent acts
at the time of the fire. More than 500
ladies subscribed to the fund to pur-
chase the cup.
Mrs. John F. Boyd of San Rafae ell
made the presentation speech. Mr..
WE'LL was deeply touched and for a few
moments could not find words with
which to voice his thanks. One of the
ladies bantered Mr.. WE'LL on the fact
that while the ladies had honored him
he had never honored one of their
number with his name.
Following the fire Mr.. WE'LL gave
away 5000 dresses and suits to the
refugee women of San Francisco. This
act carried more happiness into the
camps than any other single element
of relief.
The cup is artistically wrought and
bears an appropriate inscription. 1t is
ornamented with phenix taking
wing from the ashes. With the cup
the guest was presented with book
containing the names of the donors.
The affair was arranged by COM
mittee composed of Mrs. John f. Boyd.
Mrs George w. Gibbs. Mrs Lawrence
Cool, Mrs. James Otis and Mrs. Nuttall.
