now nicely domiciled in the Allen

There is quite a story connected with
Mrs. stout's long journey. She was
on the road for a ear and a day, and
the troubles and hardships she en-.
dured during these long months must
have beer most discouraging. A year
ago she gave an agent in Russia for a
steamship line $3.50 for her passage
over. The agent. however, nicely pro-
cured tickets for Rotterdam, Ger
many. and pocketed the difference.
Here Mrs. Stout and her children were
forced to remain for ten months for
lack of funds. The gentleman for
whom MIR. Stout works got into COM
munication with the United States
consul at Rotterdam. Germany, and
German government finally pro-
cured the arrest of the agents wife
as an accessory and being in posses

United States consul prevailed upon
the company represented by the agent,
that, under the circumstances, ii
would be advisable to issue free trans
portation for Mrs. Stout and the chill
to Halifax, from which point
reached Hamilton via Winnipeg.

termittent every day since. was gen

In Topeka there has been a fall OF
nearly 2 inches during the last few
days. The rain was a crop-saver in
many localities and improved pros.
poets in all others. The drouth OF
1912 was effectually ended and little
fear Of any further damape to wheat
was felt.
The precipitation at Lawrence is
reported as having been more than
3 inches; at Saline about 2 inches.
Two and three inches of rain was
reported from Jewell county, Marys-
willie. Cottonwood Falls land many
other points.
The rainfall to date since March /
is 9.s1 inches. which is LIS less than
the average for this period. Las,
year for the same period the precipi-
tation amounted to but 5.31 inches.
The normal rainfall in eastern
Kansas is enough or more than
enough to produce the best crops"
said Observer Flora today.
Railway officials in Topeka are joy
full today. Reports from all over their
lines indicate that the rains soaked
the cracked ground in Kansas and
parts of Oklahoma. Nebraska and
Colorado. Far out in western Kan
sas the rain averaged three-auarters
of an inch and in eastern sections of
the state it fell to a depth of nearly
8 inches.

Colorado line. The Union Pacific
