opinion is that it would be difficult to
find any better place. All through the
country from Oberlin to Atwood almost
all of the farmers have failed to worry
over crop losses. and they were going
to tide over the failure, and then have
something left. Many of them have
prepared the ground for fall seeding
while others are blowing and getting
ready. With the fall rains there will
be plenty forage for stock. Nowhere
will one see more industrious farmers
than are seen in northwest Kansas.

Northwest Kansas is all right, most of

For the last 21 days it has been ex-

of eight days when it registered 100
degrees or more. According to Mr..

in sight in the matter of rain.

Storm Does Damage.

One of the most severe electric
storms of the season passed over this
section Tuesday afternoon, accom-
panied by a heavy wind, torrent of
rain and considerable hail in some To-
calities. West of us in the track of
the storm much damage was done by
the wind and hail.
A cyclone cut narrow path
through sections of the towns of Rut-
land, Dunkirk, South Porter and Cen
ter, doing much damage to farm build
ings, shade trees, etc. Almost every
tobacco shed in the track of the storm
was RACED. Hail was so severe in some
sections as to almost ruin the growing
crops, while grain was fattened over a
large section covered by the storm, and
fields badly washed.

Old West Fast Disappearing.

The American Indian will soon exist
only in history. His determination has
been gradual but will be sure He has
gradually been driven from his happy
home in the east to few barren reser-

fast becoming extinct.

The Knoll Family Separated.

A series of misfortune has finally re-
suited in the breaking up of the family
of Mrs. Henry Knoll, who for a few
years past has lived in one of the Wat
son tenant houses on the fiatiron. A
few years ago the father was killed
while leaving train near this station
when he was returning home from the
Kickapoo valley, where he was work
ing. The mother, left with four small
children has had an uphill struggle to
keep the family together and from the
complaints she made concerning her
neighbors, has been suspected of being
insane at times. Once she was taken
before Judge Sale at GAINESVILLE for
commitment but demanded jury trial
and was acquitted.
While living in the town OF Albion
the family became a charge upon Dane
county, which county has since been
assisting them. Supt. of Poor krav-
lex, however, decided that the children
ought to have better surroundings and
that the mother showed Enthusiastically
evidences of insanity so the sheriff
came down and took the family to
Madison when Judge Fehlandt adjudg-
ed Mrs. Knoll insane and committed
to the Mendoza hospital. The children,
Margaret, aged 8; Meta, 7; Alma, 6,
and Victor, aged years, were sent to
the Sparta home for dependant chill
dren.

A sharp little thunder storm about 8
O'Clock cooled the atmosphere and
brought some relief to the sweltering
crowd An entertainment that was
probably as much enjoyed as any dur
ing the day was the flag drill, folk
dances and May pole exercises arrang-
ed for by the w. r. C. and women's
clubs, given on H. McInnes' lawn in
the evening and witnessed by large
crowd of spectators. They furnished a
splendid idea for sane fourth of July
observance.
With the dance given at Academy
hall in the evening the promise of a
full day of enjoyment was completed.

A Searching Fourth.

Viewed from the point of attendance,
Edgerton's 4th of July celebration may
be recorded as being a great success,
for conservative estimates of the crowd
that gathered at the Driving Park place
it at from 5000 to 5000 people. But a
national holiday is seldom passed that
affords so few personal comforts. The
day was beastly hot, the elimination
Of long, sitting heated term, and
while the program as announced was
carried out, it is quite probable most
people were glad when the day was
ended.
The program was opened by pa
rade to the Driving Park at 9 o'clock,
where a fine patriotic address was
made by Prof. F. O. Holt.
Shortly after 10 the ball game be-
tween Edgerton and Stoughton took
place. Both teams had hired the best
available talent to land this contest
The battery for the Stoughton team
were Winehardt of the Madison State
league team, pitcher, Newell, catcher.
Jeske of Milwaukee started to do the
twirling for Edgerton but was replaced
by Crandall, the Milton college star, in
the fifth inning. Owen of Fort Atkin-
son did the catching. The final score
was Z to 3 in favor of Stoughton. The
game was close and well played except
in the third inning when Stoughton OBJ
tanned five runs.
The afternoon game was between the
Edgerton junior team and the James
vile Stars, resulting in the defeat of
the visitors by score of Is to 5.
$ The races die not prove as interest
ing as most events of this kind because
each card was taken in straight heats
and were off by o'clock. The sum-
merry is as follows:
