very bad, deep, wet, running sore on
the side Of her face and 1t ran up to
her ear. 1t commenced with small

itched and looked red and sore for
some time and slightly swelled. A
thin fluid dripped and ran from the
sores which looked like water. Then
the swelling would go down and it
would keep on spreading. 1t bothered
her during sleep and she would be
restless. 1t was kind Of eczema.

did not help her. 1t kept spreading
larger and deeper. Having always

Nestern newspaper LHloh News Service.
Paris.-Mme. Henriette Caillaux,
wife of Joseph Caillaux, once pre-
mier of France and former min
lister of finance, occupied the pris-
oner's inclosure In the Assize Court
at the palace of Justice and recited in
a dramatic manner the circumstances
leading up to the shooting on March
16 of CASTOR Calmette editor of the
Figaro, with whose murder she is
charged.
Judge Louis Albanel acted as presi-
dent of the court; the procurator gen.
eral, Jules Herbaux, had charge of the
prosecution, and Fernand Labori, the
noted advocate, who was closely iden-
titled with the Dreyfus case, was chief
counsel for the defense.
Nine. Caillaux held the attention of
the crowded court room for three
hours. Slight. almost insignificant in
appearance and possessing none of the
outward characteristic of figure OF
romance. she spoke with great assur-
ance, addressing herself in turn to
each part of the room, like lecturer.
She told her story in short, discon-
nected sentences, but showed remark
able skill in marshalng her facts SO
as to represent them in the best light
for her cause.
The judges role was simple one,
confined to encouraging her with brief
questions as she came to each success
i've phase OF the drama. Nine. Gail
laux was willing witness throughout
and showed great self-control.
1t was only after she had concluded
her narrative and was asked if there
was anything she would like to add
that she cast restraint aside and with
accents of genuine emotion, thrilled
her listeners and elected murmurs OF
applause. Then she described viyidly
the protracted agony she had endured
because of the calumnies against b0r-
self and her husband.
"For three months / mounted Cal.
vary" she said Such l do not wish
to my worst enemy. No one can i'm,
agine what went through. Ifeared
for myself, for my husband, for my
child. / feared for myself because If
parts of those letters were published
my deepest, innermost secrets would
be displayed before the world; my
woman's honor stand stripped and
naked. Finally, did not wish to blush
before my daughter; that is one thing
woman must not be asked to do.
deeply regret the present misfortune,
and l would have undergone anything
in the world rather than have been
the cause of it.
Her impassioncd peroration was &C
companied by eloquent gestures OF
her slender hands, from which she had
slipped her gloves. The spectators
hung on every word and movement
frequently expressing discreet appro
baton, with which the presiding
Judge made no attempt to interfere.

UNDRAINED
CITY STREETS
Proved Cause OF Considerable
inconvenience and Expense
Last Saturday

AS we noticed force at work
last Saturday morning, remov-
ing the water from the floor Of
The First National Bank, anoth-
er carrying water from the cell
lar of the National Hotel, aud
still another pumping water
from II. G. Marshall's cellar, we
wondered if a word to our City
Fathers, along the line of City
drainage would be listened to.
Meade is so situated that it
seems that an excellent drainage
system could be installed at a
reasonable cost to the city. The
News has no desire to be quoted
as advocating a complete sewer
system at this time, and such as
Meade will perhaps some day
have, but it does seem that if
drains we're made along the
streets west aud extended to the
draw south of the city, much Of
the water which floods Main st.
would be carried off. These
drains could be made along
streets, the south terminus of
which, and where the drain
would have to be made the deep
est, would not obstruct travel in
any way. A similar drain could
also be made along one of the
north streets and extended to
the draw east of the city. AS
! our system now is, the business
part of the city receives all the
water from fully a quarter sec
ton north and west. This is
question of importance and it
should receive the careful con-
sideration of every property
owner IN Meade.
Let MS have drainage system
worthy Of the name before au-
other heavy rain. Let everybody
advocate it.

TIE. .CHILCOTT
is MISSING
No One Has Seen Him Since
Thursday Supposition
! He Was Drowned

The entire community was
startled Saturday morning when
the news reached Meade that T.
E. Chilcott, who lives twelve
miles southeast of Meade, was
missing. r. w. Grubbs was re-
turning home and upon reaching
the bridge at the Chilcott place,
he fond it had been washed
away. He returned to the Chill
colt house and found it deserted.
Further investigation showed
that no one was about the place;
the outer door of the house,
which opens into shed porch,
was open and nail keg was
placed against it, the barn door
was also open. Mr.. Gruubs at
once notified other neigh bors.
On Saturday morning a scar
ching party was organized. A
further investigation of the en-
tire place was made. 1t was Mr.,
Chilcott's custom to mark his
calendar each day, as he lived
alone, he took this means OF
keeping track of the days of the
week. The last mark on the
calendar was on Thursday, Ap'
ril 30th, the day before he was
discovered missing, and also the
day before the food. AS no one
had seen him or knew anything
of his whereab bouts, the search
ers reluctantly arrived at the
conclusion that he must have
been caught in the food, and 9
search of Crooked Creek was
begun. All week parties from
the surrounding eighborhood,
from Meade, and from Fowler
have been searching. The creek
has been dragged for miles be-
low his place, and every inch oi
Iground has been gone oyer, but
with one result, no trace of the
missing map.
The fact that his Sunday clio
thes are not about the house. al
first added strength to the theory
that he might have gone away,
but when it was RENE I'm bered
that his horses we're all in the
pasture and that his saddle was
in the barn, the theory seemed
without foundation.
Mr.. Chilcott has two brothers,
one living at Beaver and one at
Mankato, and both are now in
Meade. Further seach will be
made.

HEAVY RAIN
PLAYS HAVOC
Was Good For The Wheat But
Rather Hard On Bridges
And Houses

Between Friday morning at
six O'Clock and Saturday morn
ing at about the same hour, FIVE
and one-half inches of rain fell
in Kansas. 1t was fine for the
wheat, practically lDsuring a big
crop, but rather disasterous to
bridges, fences, and houses too
close to swollen streams.
Washouts are reported on the
Rock Island at Arkalon, Optima,
Oklahoma, and Nara Visa, N.
Nj. and through train service
has been blocked. Big crews
are at work rebuilding bridges,
but it will be several days be-
fore trains will again run on
schedule time. Telegraph and
telephone communications were
also in bad condition.
The Cimarron river, twenty
five miles south of Meade, was a
raging torrent and the roar of
the water could be plainly heard
five miles away.
Friday night word came to
Uneda that the river was rising,
and that flood was coming.
Considerable damage has been
reported all along the river. Al
the N. J. Rhodes place, cotton
wood trees, two feet in diameter,
were washed away, also a num-
Der of fruit trees. The house
was moved from its foundation,
and had it not lodged agains,
some trees, would have been
washed away. Mr.. Rhodes al.
falfa and hay lands are ruined
for some time.
At the Anshutz place the water
floaded the first floor of the
house. Mr.. Anshutz was in the
house at the time, and fed to the
second story, where be was COM
PEELED to remain until the water
subsided.
Much damage was done to Mr..
Anshntz's pasture and forty
acres of wheat was washed away
In all. about one hundred sixty
acres of his land has disappear
ed.
The iron bridge at Miles, was
washed away and has disappear
ed. The ma channel of the
river is thought to be north of
1t former course. All that Is
left to mark the old bridge site
are two pillars.
The river was reported fully
mile wide at Miles.
The home of Elisha Dowell,
on the south side of the river,
was washed down stream nearly
quarter of mile.
No lives have been reported
lost. Bridge imber, lumber,
large trees, and some stock have
been seen floating down stream.
Those who live on the river
say it is now the highest it has
been for thirty.fve years.
