WHERE IS THIS CAVE?
Leavenworth Hears of Cavern % Miles
Long.

Leavenworth, Kan, July 20.-Have
you ever heard of a subterranean cav
ern twenty miles long within four
miles of LeavenWorth?
You probably have not unless you
have read J. D. Champlin's Young
Folks Cyclopaedia.'' and then like
Miss Elsie Evans. assistant librarian at
the public library, you doubted. No
one knows where to find the mouth of
this cave and this Champlin failed to
give its exact location.
Miss Mamie Parisa, a school teach
er of Piper, Kan, is the secondary dis
cOverer of this cave. Champlin, IF
course, is entitled to priority. Miss
Parisa found it in Champlin's encyclo-
paedia. She wants to know if there is
such a. cave.
Here is his description of it:
-Four miles from LeavenWOrth is
Wyandotte cave, one of the most won
derful in the world. It is twenty-five
miles long, and one of the rooms is
large enough to set a church in. steeple
and all. In it is a high hill on top of
which are three great stalagmites. or
pillars made by the dripping of lime
water; one called Lots Wife is pure
white and looks like a statue with a
cloth thrown over it. Above all is an
immense dome, called Wallace's Dome.

AVOID ovERCHARGE TROUBLE
chicago Committee Sends Information
Over Country.

Chicago. ILL.,, July 2O.-A campaign
to educate receivers of freight to avoid
annoyances incident to overcharges by
railroads is being carried on by the
freight traffic committee of the Chi
cago Association of Commerce. The
following notice to receivers of freight
Throughout the United States is being
sent out by the committee: "a large
number of complaints come from re-
ceivers of freight respecting over
charges collected by the railroads
upon excessive weights and incorrect
rates. Before payment of freight bills
please carefully check the weights of
the items received against the weights
on expense bills; have rates verified
when you have reason to believe they
are incorrect; insist upon agent cor
recting the charges to oasis of actual
weight and tariff rates In case of re-
fusal on the part of the agent to make
correction, notify the shipper, that ac-
ton may be taken to have agent in
structed to make proper adjustments
in the future. 1t is our belief that CO.
operation between the consignor, the
consignee and the carriers will pre-
vent overcharges, thus removing d
fruitful cause of annoyance to ship
pers and carriers"

A COOLING SHAMPOO
FOR SUMMER MONTHS

Because Of profuse perspiration
and excessive oiliness of the scalp in
Summer time" writes Mrs Mae Mar
tyn, in the New York Herald, many
women find the hair difficult to man
age. Ordinary shampoo mixtures fail
to remove all dust and oil. and invari-
ably leave the hair stringy and matted.
The simplest and best thing with
which to cleanse both scalp and hair
Is plain canthrox- A teAspoonful OF
canthrox dissolved in a cup of hot
water is enough for a good shampoo
and a little at a time poured on the
head and rubbed briskly creates a.
white, thick lather, wonderfully cool
ing and soothing. Rinsing leaves the
scalp and hair delightfully."- clean and
the hair dries quickly, taxing on a
beautiful brilliancy and softness."

clared that she meant no harm by it.
She was told she would not be prose-
cuted, but that hereafter there would
be nothing doing for her in the county

town, Elias Ellis owned so acres OF
land with scrub oak on It that three
weeks ago he bought for $3.50. Yester-
day he sold it for S240O. Another
farm Of sc acres, considered poor
land, was sold by Able Ableman for
$1,000, although he had paid only 5000
One colored man. who had paid $1,000
for his farm, refused a cash offer OF
$4,000
One place that will feel an increase
Of business is the Office of the re-
corder Of deeds, where arrangements
have been made TO employ additional
help. From the boulevard alone
hundreds of deeds will be brought in

corded.
From Selbyville to Georgetown the
