METZ HAS A MYSTERY.
Identity Of a Woman Wanderer
Unknown-vari0us Theories
Advanced.

Metz Times.
The mysterious woman, mention
OF whom was made In The Times last
week, mysteriously departed last
Friday for some mysterious point
northwsrd.
The woman arrived In Metz on
Monday OF last week, coming from
Rinehart afoot carrying large tele-
scope grip and a small hand satehel'
She eDquired for work at a number
OF places, and In answer TO questions
stated that she had been put of she
train at Rinehart as she had no mon-
ey to pay her fare. This proved TO
be untrue, for 1t is learned that she
walked from Richards TO Rinehart.
Not succeeding in getting work In
Metz she started north aioot In the
evening. Learning that Grandma
Swans house, two miles north, was
not occupied she took possession and
remained till uesdsy morning. She
again went north until she came to
the Wisely place. Taking posses
sion, she told enquirers she had rent
ed the place from real estate man
at Metz, but had forgotten his name.
This was known to be untrue as the
house was not for rent The woman

cations that the Kansas wheat crop
is going to be considerably larger

ed several letters recently asking Tor
more harvest hands than were at
first called for. The letters gave as
reason that owing to the recent
rains the wheat is looking much bet
ter than a week ago and that the
prospects at present are for much
larger crop than was predicted June
fourth.
Il will be remembered that Mr.
Coburn said in his report that the
wheat conditions might be actually
better than bis report showed on &C

over the state since bis correspond
ents made up their percentage tables
