HEAVY RAINS AT HAMPTON.
Damage Is Due to Delayed
Farming Operations.

Special to Times Republican.
Hampton, May 25.-During the
twelve hours since noon of Sunday,
this vicinity was visited by three or
four heavy showers of rain, the aggre-
gate of water being probably two or
three inches Some wind and light
ming accompanied the storm, but SO
far as known no damage from these
resulted.
The principal damage in this vicin-
ity will be due to the delay caused to
farming operations by reason of the
excessive moisture Corn planting
was progressing nicely last week, with
conditions ideal, but this and other
farm work will now be, delayed for
several days.

Kansas City, May !5.--Missouri VAL

dismal beginning here Saturday. when
rain turned the rack at Elm ridge in
to sea of mud and made the track
events largely a farce, and fast time
impossible The rain prevented good

some of the track events were mere
contests between mud horses, the men
with the strongest constitutions win

Alnes, the strong Iowa aggies, won
the meet, with grand total of fifty
two points, Missouri coming second
with less than half their number, and
Drake university getting close third.
Washington university took fourth
place, thru the ability Of Glover, while
Kansas and Nebraska tied for fifth,

took last position with seven points to
their credit, StutsmsIn taking the dis

The real fight of the meet was be-
tween Drake and Missouri The two
teams battled all thru the meet with
honors even, never being more than
three or four points apart, and at the
call for the mile run Drake led with
nineteen points, while Missouri trailed
with seventeen Missouri sprang a
surprise, however, by taking the race
with new variety of mud horse,
named Snyder, and Drake was forced
to be content with second place.

mittee will be held Monday, and the
probabilities ARE that efforts will be
made to move the location Of the meet

| track for the holding of the contests,
which will allow of fast work in the
track event. even if the field events are
handicapped.

will be relegated to the back grounds
as soon as meet is held where con-

Kansas City, May 25.-Education and
relation OF the church to freedmen

courses. OF these 253 were new men
and 556 renewals" decrease Of 15
in the former and an increase of Sc
in the latter. This unusual condition
the board said, is due probably to the
fact that the increased cost Of living
has constrained number Of candi-
dates, who had believed themselves
able to pursue their further training
unassisted, to renew their applications.
"a r.otable dearth OF candidates is
observed in number Of presbyteries

strongest averaging but one candidate
for 5,137 church members. In the
large centers Of wealth and popula-
tion comparatively few candidates are
being raised up to face, with q mas

result is that the churches of the east
