LARGEST ELEPHANT KNOWN
This Big Elephant, Captured Last Season.
Now Exhibited with Yankee
Robinson.

The scenes attending the ar
rival Of the largest elephant ever
known, "Kongo,'' were most re-
markable. From the time the
people of this country, some
twelve months ago, read OF the
capture Of Kongo, there has been
a curiosity to see this huge beast.
AT the roundup" Of elephants
in Siam, last spring, there were
twenty-three elephants captured
this being the entire haul for
the season. Among the few
held last season, was the real
monarch OF the Jungle-an ele-
phant that has been the goal Of
every hunter Of the forest for
years. This big beast was kon-
90. Immediately the conces-
ionariesB. Of the San Francisco
Exposition cabled to secure this
big beast for the wonderful
trained animal exhibit they will
have there during the fair. The
promoters of the Yankee Robin
son shows happened to have Mr..
Harvey Hale, their European
representative in Siam at the
time of this offer. Without any
comforting with the owners Of
the big circus, he secured this
big beast flor an enormous rent
all for the coming season. It is
expected that the principal cities
of the country will be visited by
the show during that time.
The arrival of Kongo, in New
York, as stated before, was wit
messed by tens Of thousands of
people. It was lowered from the
vessel by means of a large car,
heavily ironed and secured with
enormous chains. AS the big
steam derrick hoisted Kongo in
the air, to be lowered to the har-
Dor, he emitted a terrific bowl
of the dessert. This is a noise
peculiar to this species of animals
in extreme fright. He was I'M
mediately taken to the yards of
the Pennsylvania yards where,
in a specially constructed car, he
was brought to the Yankee Rob
inson shows. The unloading
from the cars of this enormous
beast is Ewell worth your time.
Kongo is unloaded usually about
six in the morning and taken to
the ~lotsimmediately.

Farmers, Attention!

With the continuous warm
rains that we have had during
the past few weeks considerable
damage may be expected from
the Rice or Corn weeyil this fall
and winter. In fact the weevil
has already made its appearance
in large numbers in the field and
will continue its depredations in
the crib. With proper manage
ment, however, the damage may
be reduced to the minimum.
This insect, the Calandra Dry
zae, commonly known as the
rice weevil, belongs to the order
Coleoptera and from an economic
standpoint is one of the most i'm
portant weevil enemies the farm
err has, with the exception of the
cotton boil Weevil.
As stated above the Weevil alb
tracts the matured corn in the
field and deposits its eggs and
later generations are developed
in the crib. Early varieties of
corn and varieties with soft
grain are most susceptible to in
jury, while flint and late varie-
ties of dent, as well as those va
lrieties having a shuck that fits
tightly over the end Of the ear
are not SO seriously damaged.
While certain varieties of corn
offer considerable resistance to
weevil, the chief method of re-
ducing it's effect is that of fumi-
eating the stored grain with the
vapors made by carbon disul-
phide. The liquid soon evapo-
rates or changes into a gaseous
form. This of course necessi-
tates a very tight crib, which in
most cases can be obtained at a
much less expense than the dep
relation of the weevils during
the storage season would incur.
A greater amount of the carbon
disulphide is required to destroy
the weevils in corn with the
shuck than without t. At an
average temperature GO to 80
degrees) the amount of liquid
to be used for each thousand Gu
bic feet of space is from ten to
fifteen pounds, that is if the
crib is very tight. This gas be-
ing heavier than air may be
placed in a shallow vessel on the
top of the pile of grain. It is
best to cover the grain with
some heavy cloth while under
treatment, leaving it so COW
cred for twenty-four hours.
1t should be remembered in
this remedy that the
vapors are very i~nf1ammable and
care should be taken not to al
any fire near the room while
treatment is being applied.
Cigarettes, pipes and all fires
should be excluded from the crib
its use. The fumes
should not be inhaled for many
but a few breaths will
not injure man nor domestic
animals.

DROUTH IS SERIOUS.
The River Has Reached the Record
Low Water Stage.

The Kaw river is a mere ghost of itself.
The river is low as it has been since
the severe season of 1901 when for twenty
six consecutive days the mercury touch
ed the one hundred degree mark. Today
the stage of the river equaled the record
since August, 1904, when the compilation
of the reports on the river began-4.1 feet.
For a period of three and one-half years
there has been a deficiency in rainfall in
Kansas. At Topeka the deficiency since
the beginning of the growing season, has
been So inches.
The drought is beginning to tell. While
the corn in Shawnee county has not been
seriously injured, almost all other crops
are practically at standstt1l. Local
grocery stores are now dependent upon
Colorado for their supply of vegetables.
Unless rain comes within the next few
days late planted potatoes will fail ut
terly. Lawns in Topeka are beginning to
look sick. The weather man offers no i'm
mediate relief. Generally fair weather is
the prediction for tonight and Tuesday.
In the last five weeks the amount OF
rainfall at Topeka has been but LOS
inches. The normal amount of moisture
for this period is more than five inches.
In the last three weeks there have been
but two days which the temperature
was not above normal. Sunday night was
the hottest night this year, the minimum
temperature being 7S.1 degrees at o'clock
this morning.
There is one section of the state that has
an adequate supply of moisture and that
is the southeastern portion.

HANSON WILL RUN.
Mcpherson Lawyer Candidate for As
sociate Justice.

John F. Hanson, of Mcpherson, in
sanity lawyer, will be a candidate for
associate justice of the state supreme
court. Hanson, according to his own
announcement will enter the race at
once and his name will appear ON the
independent judiciary ballot among the
candidates of all parties who aspire to
. place on the supreme bench. Han
sons reason for running is to reform
the courts, which he declares are ca
PRECIOUS, arbitrary and oppressive.
For several years Hanson has bat
tied for the rights of the inmates of
the state asylums and has brought
more lawsuits on pauper bonds than
almost any lawyer in the state. Once
he sued the board of control, another
time he sued the members of the SUI
preme bench, again he sought to man.
damus the Shawnee district court, and
last but not least he filed impeachment
proceedings against the entire supreme
bench during the 1913 session of the
legislature. All this litigation resulted
from Hanson's numerous conflicts with
the courts regarding the rights of the
men who are in the asylum and who
Hanson feels, should be liberated. Once
Hanson himself was cited for insanity,
but was acquitted. Now he proudly
carries in his inside coat pocket the
credentials showing that he is of sound
mind. 1t is said that Hanson has
wasted a small fortune in his legal
battles.
And now to relieve - oppression
from the bench, Hanson himself is a
candidate for associate justice of the
state supreme court.
