statement this afternoon, other than
saying that he was here for a brief
visit and expected to leave tonight for
his home.
President Blalock refused to make
any statements today regarding the
progress Of survey work on the pro-
posed line from here to Wallula, say
ing that within two weeks the COM
pany would be in a position to give out
some real, live railway information.

nothing would be given out as to the

has justified such publicity.
But even though President Blalock
will not divulge the big secret CT his

Syracuse.-The fact that Syracuse
is becoming a city is evidenced by the
fact that the town is constantly filled
with beggars and hoboes, the former
coming here because of the prosperity
of the people and the latter under the
pretense of working in the harvest
fields and with the threshing machines.
This class of people have become a
serious matter this year and the PEG
pie are Kidding the town Of them. The
hoboes lay around the town in the
day time and at night rob stores and
residences and there is hardly night
that robbery is not committed,
either in the town or in the outskirts.
There seems to be no way without
the aid of the city administration, OF

THE SECRET OF HAPPINESS.
UnseIfishness in Life Is the One Thing
That Will Transform All
Things to Gold.

The moment we set about the task
of making every human being we
come in contact with better for know
ing us-more cheerful, more coura-
geous and with greater faith in the
kindness of God and man-that mo-
ment we begin to attain the third pur-
pose of life-personal happiness.
Would you possess the magic secret
of the alchemist which transforms all
things to gold?
1t is unselfishness-or, to use bet
ter word, selflessness.
He who goes forth bent upon being
always kind; always helpful, in the lit
tie daily events of life, will find all
skies tinted with gold, all his nights
set with stars and unexpected flowers
of pleasure springing up in his path
way.
And all his tears shall turn into
smiles.-Brooklyn Eagle.

ELEVEN ELEPHANTS LOOSE
At Clay Center Where Circus Was
Showing the Herd Was SIAM
peded by a Dog.

Clay Center.-For a time the other
morning Clay Center could have be-
lieved that it was in the center Of
Africa, as the streets were monopo-
lized by troop of eleven stamped
ing elephants. The brutes belonged
to the Hagenbeck-Wa show
which showed there.
1t seems that the members Of this
group of elephants are particularly
afraid of dogs. and on the way to the
show grounds a little white dog ran
out and bit one of the animals on
the heel. That beast at once began
to trumpet and run and the other
ten followed suit. For two hours the
beasts numbered through the streets
and alleys of Clay Center, but finally
were gathered under some trees in
yard and were chained down by
the showmen.
One Snowman was knocked from
his horse by the animals and his leg
broken. Other showmen were knock
ed down but not injured. No serious
damage was done, probably because
Clay Center people gave the elephants
all the room they wanted. The town
felt well satisfied when the excite
ment was over.

hottest DAY FOR
YEARS" RECORDED
THREE DEATHS FROM HEAT AT
ST. JOSEPH.
Heat Is Doing Much Damage to
Crops, Which Have Been Suf-

Dry Weather.

Topeka, Kan.-Monday was the hot
test day in Topeka for eight years, ac-
cording to the official thermometer
of the government weather bureau.
The highest registered was 1902 de-
grees, and this is higher than any
other time since 1901. During that
year, in July, weather temperatures
ranged close to the 100 degree mark
for nineteen successive days.
Two prostrations have resulted up
to the present. Mary Bakus, a young
woman clerk, was overcome early this
morning, and medical aid had to be
summoned for w. H. Caldwell, assist
ant state printer. Neither is in a
dangerous condition. The past eight
days, each with a maximum tempera-
ture above 80 degrees, and minimum
hottest period of that length of time
since the famous summer OF 1901.
There was practically no relief from
the heat. Hardly breath of air
stirred and the sun was reflected from
the streets and buildings in binding
brightness. At o'clock in the morn
ing the temperature was 10, and from
that it climbed steadily until it reach
ed it's maximum at 2:40 in the after
noon. For several hours 1t lowered
around the 100 mark, and last night
dropped to 90.
