Sliyers and his friend yillien were
by no means pleased with the existing
state of things. In sending vandeloup
TO the Pactolus claim, they had thought
that Madame Midas would fall in love

for a divorce in order to marry him
which divorce Villiers would Of course re-

an interest in the PactoIus. But they had
both reckoned wrongly, for Madame was

with much circumspection. Consequently
Slivers and Co., not finding matters going
to their satisfaction, met one day at the

Lawrence. Kas., March 15.-Resi-
dents Of Perry and those along the
Kaw river just below Lecompton are
becoming somewhat alarmed over
the unpleasant prospects OF the Kaw
and the Delaware rivers eventually
joining just above the Lecompton
bridge and thus cutting off Perry from
the bridge and washing the farms be-
low the junction of the two rivers
The Delaware river is what Is
known farther north in the state as
Grasshopper creek. and in the spring
is usually good sized stream. When
the high water time comes the wash
ing done to the bank of the Kaw and
also to the Delaware tends to bring
the two nearer together above the
natural junction.
The Delaware comes down from
the north and before 1t empties into
the kaW1 It bends to the south a few
IaalAes above Iecompton and reaches
TO within few hundred yards Of the
kaw- It then flows northeast near
Perry and empties into the Kaw be-
low the bridge and the two towns
II the two streams unite above the
bridge the high water will swell the
Raw until it will practically shut off
the approaches to the bridge during
nigh water. whereas the bridge has
heretofore stood the test fairly well.
The danger will threaten the farms
along the streams below the junction
and considerable damage may be
done.
There is some talk among the resi-
dents of that district as well as those
below Of putting in jetties on the
bends OF the two rivers to stop the cut
ting of the banks. Nothing definite
has been done, however.
