Kent BeIl Line Busy,

These are busy days for the Bell

moralized the service Of the Indepen-
dent line to Topeka and Kansas City

Bell. Supt. Gimmell has worked
hard to give perfect service and has
succeeded admirably. Many compli-
ments have been heard for the Bells

FOR SCHOOL PHYSICIANS.
DR.. Ketchersid of Hope Advocates
a Good Idea.

In a recent issue of the Topeka Cap
ital DR.. J. N. Ketchersid Of Hope has
an interesting article on regular ex'
animation of school pupils by com
petent physician. He says; "a
yearly, supplemented by tri-month-
ly examination, would call the atten-
ton of teachers to symPtomatology
and keep the subject open and awake.
Every teacher should have clinical
thermometer. None Of the members
of this observing profession can fail
to notice when a child appears not
we'll. When such one is seen, let the
teacher take his temperature, and If
fever be found, send him home with
instructions to call in the ply stefan
OF the family. l do not know but
that a half hour daily examination,
less thorough than the regular one,
but careful scrutiny OF each child's
face and actions, would be a good
investment as q matter Of school
routine. To shoot the tiger before he
pounces on his victims is nobler and
more courageous than to bind up the
wounds inflicted, should there be a
survivor"

How's THIS FOR YIELD?
Dickinson County Land Produced
at $1,000 An Acre.

Of of an eighth Of an acre of straw
berries Jacob Rumold, living seven
miles north Of town, picked and sold
$125 worth Of berries besides using o
large amount for their own table use.
This is at the rate Of $1,000 per acre
for one years returns If any one
can beat this we should like to hear
from them, especially when it is con-
sidered that not a cent was expended
on the land as this berry patch was
planted two years ago and only a
days cultivation done on the patch
this year. Strawberries beat even
king alfalfa for large returns.

this morning for first time since Sat
nrday.
Solomon branch is opening up
slowly. Passengers and baggage are
being transferred across the washout

pears now, reguIar'service will be re-
sumed tomorrow.
Service on Union Pacific was prac-
ideally abandoned last Saturday from
Manhattan to Kansas City not only
for passengers and express but for
freight of all kinds. No serious wash
outs nor trouble with bridges, simply
water over tracks.
The wagon bridge across. the Kaw
river at Bonner Springs went out last
night and the low banks Of the river
lust west of Lawrence are caving SO
rapidly that it is feared the river may
change its channel and leave North
Lawrence on the south side of the
river.
Rain fell last night at Ellsworth,
Lincoln and Barnard as well as west
of that region almost to the state line.
Service on central branch Of Missouri
Pacific between Greenleaf and Lenora
is in use but between Greenleaf and
Atchison no trains have been run
ming since Saturday morning.
Water was entering Union avenue
near Kansas City Union depot just
before noon today and appeared to be
still rising. 1t is now in the imple-
ment district.

 tire Sect into Court.
 Florence. April 14.-(Special. )--East Florence Is worked up to great pitch of excitement over the doings of the inRs of discomfort which portend a storm.
 As an aftermath of the note written to Miss Danner by Rev. Hayes in "un- known tongues" and which the writer claimed was inspired by God. P. c, Cramblitt. a member of the sect, was this morning fined $14 by Mayor Walk CT for assaulting VIII Danner, the girls brother.
 Danner attended the meeting last night and was struck over the head with a chair by Cramblitt The lat ter was arrested on a warrant sworn out by Danner and Danner was in turn charged by Cramblitt with assault with knife.
 No witnesses could be found to sub stantlate the charge against Danncr. and he was released, while Cramblitt was fined.
 The Holy Rollers" were given a straight talk by Mayor Walker. who stated that he did not intend to have a disorderly meeting run in the name of religion. and gave warning that at the next disturbance he would have the entire meeting brought into court. After Danner was discharged by the Mayor a warrant was sworn out against him before Justice J. D. Wooden and he will be tried next Saturday for his assault Friday night upon Rev Hayes.
