1t vas rather curious to see a
flood so near us, althO we are per-
fectly safe. 81 four of us drove to
CalexicO the 2nd. 1t was cloudy
and cool so we enjoyed the trip
very much despite the fact that we.
had to drive thru miles of nothing
in sight but a sandy trail and loco
weed which is a desert plant.
We carried water IN our canteens.
The pouring of the water into the
New Il. has shut off water from
other streams and we found a few
nice little homes deserted, but be-
fore reaching our destination we
passed some of the incest ranches
with modern improvements and
conveniences that / ever saw.
AS we drove into Calexico we saw
Indians and Mexicans camped on
every side in the mosquito bushes
and nothing t0..do but watch the
water carry their homes away. Of
course, some of their homes are a
few blankets thrown under a mos
quite as this climate does not nee
essarily require a house if one does
not care for it. Qnite a few have
little huts built of arrow weeds.
We hitched our team to mos
quite bush and started for the
place where the water was heard
the plainest. We passed several
stores aud business houses which
had been vacated aud saw the men
tearing the depot into sections to
ship out We crossed a lovely
lawn Of blue grass and clover with
an immense adobe building empty
and tue doors and windows taken
out. 1t belonged to the California
Development Co. aud had just
been completed and furnished but
was deserted and waiting to be
swallowed up in the mighty waters
which were tearing along about
ten feet below and about the same
distance south. Some Mexicans
were lowering trees into the bend
OF the river to change it's course
but great chunks of dirt and
: houses were tumbling in on every
side. Every boom meant the, loss
OF property. We crossed little
: ditch and We're told by our guide
that we were under the Mexican
, sword, so | can truthfully say
was out of Uncle Sans territory.
We passed lots of dobies which
were very neat structures and
came to family buryiug ground

MONSTER LEvIATHAN OF
THE DEEP LAUNCHED
AT GLASGOW
WILL SMASH RECORDS
LuXurieS on Board Will
Rival Finest Hotels

Glasgow, June H. Au immense
crowd that included many noted ship
builders. engineers and others assem-
bled today at the John Brown Com
pany's Works at Clydesdale and wit
messed the launching of the largest
steamship ever built The vessel is the
Lusitania, one OF the two mammoth
ships being built for the Cunard com
pany and which, If expectations are
fulfilled, will smash all transatlantic
speed records. The launching OF the
great ship was successful in every re
respect. The christening ceremony
was performed by TIE Dowager Lady
Inverciyde, widow of the former chair
man Of the Cunard line.
The Lusitania and her sister ship
the Mauritania, which is being bull
on the Tyre. are to have a displace
ment Of $4,000 tons each. They are
12O feet longer than the celebrated
Great Eastern and are the first vessels
constructed that have a greater bean
than that vessel. Each ship has abou
3s 600 tons of steel wrought into her
Some of the plates in the hull are a
feet long and weigh four to FIVE tons
The motive power will consist of fou
turbines. each Of a designed indicated
horsepower of $4,000. The speed Il
expected to reach 25 knots.
When facing the bridge the captain
win be 11O feet above the keel an,
the four tunnels each liner has viii
tower 154 feet above the keel. Tw
locomotives of the ordinary type coul
nass each other inside these enor
nous tunnels. Every voyage the pol
lllaiion of good sized town will b
carried across the Atlantic.
The Injuries on board will rival th
finest hotels. The decorations wi
consist of reproductions Of the grea
est works OF art, while the system {
elevators between the various deck
will provide for the rapid transit
the passengers from one part of tb
ship TO another.
The Lusitania and Mauritania wi
be practically unsihkab.e. Bulkheat
divide the hull into large number {
separate water-tight compartment
On the bridge a lever controls II
hydraulic gear, and at word frol
the officer in command every bull
head can be closed lnstantaneously.

Kansas city Post: The appoint
ment Of f. d. Coburn to succeed j..
Ralph Barton as senator from Kansas
is a mighty shifty move on the part
Of Governor Hoch, who Is thus seeking
to hide his railroad alliances. Hoch
knows only too well that II the Re
publican party wins o~d this fall the
railroads win quickly oust Coburn for
one Of their own men. Coburn's term
win be short and, II he consents to
serve, he can DO nothing hurtful to
them between now and March 4, 1907.
Cobum is man. it is generally be-
lieved. over whom the railroads can
exert but little. il any, influence. Hoch
knows this. and in appointing him
senator he wants to make the voters
of Kansas believe the railroads can
not influence his ohicial actions We
wouldn't be at all surprised II the rail-
roads had dictated the appointment
for that very reason. They arc too
crafty not to be willing to trade a six
months term for a six years term.

Oklahoma City Times-Journal,-
Every community has its gossips,
faults finders, muck-rakers, character
assasins and general knockers on adj
vancement but in most communities
they are solitary in their habits and
satisfy their longing fer misery by
standing on the streets and growing
at every move made by people who
stand out in the light and valiantly
fight for better things. II seems, how
ever, that these mucl-rakers are in
tensifying their misery by combining
their stories, forming organizations,
choosing a presiding officer, TO be
known as Most Accused Growler. a
secretary, to be designated Preseryer
of Gossip They take an oath TO be-
lieye no one honest and to do their
utmost TO blacken the reputation OF
all officials 1t is said that there Is
such an organization in this city and
that at the first meeting one member
yentured to say good word for a
city official and was promptly fined
twenty-five dollars to be paid a nickel
at time every FIVE minutes In or
der to prolong his anguish. One other
member who had not yet attained to
the limit in misery. yentured an opin-
ion that the organization should not
oppose bonuses for railroads provided
they were raised by popular subscrip
tion and provided that no msmber OF
the association OF Moss Covered
Knockers, paid anything toward the
enterprise. This, il Is alleged brought
on a storm and the FAT but indicative
president, nayed him for at least
thirty minutes. A regular hate feast
followed and all declared 81 the most
profitable occasion In the life Of the
association. II was decided that The
members of the association should
spit IN the face OF any person who
should solicit a contribution from
them for auy project which woul,
mean advancement An assessment
Of fifteen cents was put Oh each mem
ber to buy witnesses TO blacken th'
characters OF an persons who preten'
10 be honest and to favor modern ian
lproyements. II was explained tina
very little money would be needed a
the witnesses could be found amonl
tae members Of the association. The
meet al the call OF the growler.

More Cases OF Illness Ihls Spring Than
In Former Years.
Physicians and druggists say there are
more cases OF illness in Guthrie this
Spring than in former years. Perhaps
there is not 30 much serious sickness,
but Spring languor, loss OF appetite, head
aches. sleeplessness. back-aches, weak
aess and. debility. indigestion and other
ills that result from indigestion or an
.overworked stomach. are more common
than they have been for some years past.
This has resulted in an unusual de-
mand for Nn-o-na stomach tablets at f.
3. I.illta 4 co. Before they felt that
they could recommend this remedy, they
tested It rigidly in many cases Of hear
burn. indigestion wind on the stomach
debility, and other troubles that result
from weakened digestion, with the
greatest success.
In fact. Mi-o-na has been so uniformly
successful IN curing all stomach troubles
that F. b. Lille & Co. give a signed
guarantee with every so cent box TO re-
fund the money II 1t does not cure.

American women who had dared him
to meet them and told them some
very interesting plain truths, 10 the
most pleasant manner, and now, the
other day he actually told US that our
British empire. OF which we are 50
proud, is built on snobbery.
His audience, which as usual con
sisted OF a large number OF the most
aristocratic ladies' in the land, we're
dumbfounded.
"ghis is a country where labor is
despised," he said. "You know you
10 that" he continued, shaking his
head at his negative assembly you
sometimes say you are nation Of
snobs, but do hot believe that
you have, however, thorough dis.
dain of manual labor. trade. and com
merce, and Plato says that when a
people do not touch such things they
have great power, because they de-
vote themselves to the high pursuits
Of the state
Look at British history from the
time Of the Norman conquest to the
present day, and you will find that it is
"a restricted number Of families who
have made that history. England has
been made by gentlemen. Some Of you
think it has been made by the middle
classes. Not in the leass gentlemen
and gentlemen's sons have been the
predominating influence.
"Tradesmen and artisans might be
replaced by machines as so many OF
them nave been replaced in the pres
ent day but the people who are pre-.
pared to die for their country in wars
who devote themselves to politics and
colonization without material reward
are the real power Of a nation"
A daring suggestion on the system
of government of the empire was also
put forward by DR.. Reich.
"Your prime minister is the un
crowned king of the country" he said
HE does what he likes, especially II
he is great man by his character oi
deeds"
To the evident horror of his audi
ence, Dr. Reich boldly declared thai
Mr.. Arthur Balfour was not philoso
pher.
