GRAY COUNTY HARVEST ON.
No Trouble From Green Bugs, Hessian
Flies or 1. w. w. Members.

Montezuma, Kan, June 29.-The
wheat harvest is on in south Gray
county The first cutting commenced
Monday and at this time most of the
fields are ready for the headers. An
average crop will be harvested in this
section, where the green bugs and
Hessian flies are unknown. The quail
ity of the grain will be above the aver
age.
Merchants here have been working
day and night supplying the pre-har-
vest needs of the farmers. Inquiry
discloses the fact that three dealers in
harvesting machinery here have de-
livered a total of thirty-eigh headers
this year, while the two lumber yards
have delivered a total of eighty-five
header barges. The entire crop in this
section will be cut with the header
this season.
Harvest hands have come in from
the west in sufficient mum bers to sup
ply the demand and we have been I'M
disturbed by the activities of the I. w.
w. as has been the result farther east.
Threshing will begin Immediately and
elevators are preparing to handle the

Hutchinson, Kan. June 2e.-Be-
cause of the. heavy movements or
troop trains and war munitions now,
over the Rock Island and Santa Fe
main lines to the MEXICAN border, spe-
cial precautions are being taken that
no foul play be committed by any pos
sible Mexican sympathizers.
1t is understood that special instruc-
tions have been given to the special
agents along the railway, and section
foremen, to guarC against any possible
removal of spikes, or throwing of
switches or removal of rails
There are thousands of Mex1cans
employed by the Rock Island and
Santa Fe railways. 1t is supposed that
the great majority of these are loyal
employees, and care nothing about their
own country, but it is always possible
that there might be some agitator or
patriot who might try to wreck a
troop train or ditch a train of NUM-
tons

VETERAN JUMPED TO DEATH.

Aged Man at Soldiers Home Com
mitted Suicide Because of Ill Health.
Leavenworth, Kan, June 29.-Hen-
ry Burnett, IT years old. an inmate
of the Soldiers Home, committed
suicide by jumping from the third
story window of the hospital on the
home grounds. Ill health is supposed
to be the cause for his self-destruc-
ton.
Burnett was seen lying in his bed
only short time before. Other pa
tients cried out to him when they
became aware of his intentions, but to
no avail. He paid no heed and after
one look at the ground below, he
dived forward. When guards reached
his body, it was found that his neck
was broken, and his skull fractured
by the fall. Death was instantaneous.

Men Who Apply for Work.

Junction City, Kan, June 29.-The
wheat harvest in Geary county is now
on and every farmer has more work
to attend to on his farm than he can
do. With the cutting of the ripe
wheat the second crop of alfalfa is

the corn needs blowing, and every
man who is willing to work is finding
all the work he wishes.

out each day from the Daily Union
office and for the past two days there
has been more places for men than
there has been men.
With good sunshine weather the
wheat in this county will be cut within

Humid was one of the first. 1t is ex-
pected that the harvest in this vicinity
will last about two weeks.

impossible to place many of them.

THE MYSTERIOUS EAGLE.
Curious Ancient Monument Left to Us
by the Indians.

Curious Ancient Monument Left to u
by the Indians.
On the broad top of stony, rain
quilted hill in middle Georgia there
lies a very large eagle, concerning
which conflicting stories are told. The
one point that seems to be certain is
that the Indians left the eagle as q
legacy to the state. A hundred years
from now it will probably be found
lying on its back, with outspread wings
and tail, even as 1t lies today. For it
is made of quartz rocks SO cunningly
placed that it would require pick in
u strong mans hands to displace any
one of them. The rocks lap and over.
lap in such a manner as to represent
feathers. No cement holds them in
position, and the stones vary In size.
weighing from half pound to three
or four pounds. The image rests on q
very firm foundation, for the stone
work extends several feet into the
ground.
Once, perhaps twice, treasure seek
ing vandals dug into the breast Of the
eagle, but the work must have proved
too laborious, for the diggers gave up
before they had reached the bottom
layer of overlapping stones.
Rough but fairly accurate measure
ments of the bird show the length Of
the eagle from the middle Of the tail
to the head to be 1O2 feet and from
tip to tip Of outspread wings 12O feet.
The length Of the beak is ten feet,
and the height of the body at the cen
ter Of the breast is ten feet. The eagle
lies with its head to the west
Tradition does not give any satisfac-
tory explanation Of the age or the
meaning of the great stone mound. 1t
may have had religious significance to
the red men who built it, and it may
be the burial place Of some great chief.

most interesting of prehistoric mOnu-
ments in the United States.-Youth's
