HE STILL PURSUED HER
Mrs. DalrympIe Says Her Father-in-
Law Followed ReIentIessly.

An amended petition in the alien
alton suit brought by Mae Dalrymple
against Grant Dalrymple. her father
in-law, was filed in the district court
of Shawnee county Saturday after
noon. citing the causes for action and
asking for damage to the amount of
$4,000. The plaintiff and Karl Dali
rymple, son of the defendant. were
married May 9. 1913. in Kansas City
and are the parents of two children
Mae Dalrymple is a resident of this
county while the defendant lives near
Salina. Mrs. Dalrymple charges in
her petition that the father alienated
the affections of her husband and
caused him to become estranged from
her. She charges that the father told
his son that the plaintiff was unchaste
and untrue to him: that their child
was illegitimate, and that he other
wise sought to turn the husband away
from her. She states that they left
the Dalrymple home several times in
order to get away from the fathers
influence but that he followed them
and finally succeeded in persuading
the son to leave her. The law firm of
Curtis, Mote. Rooney and CrossIey
filed Mrs. Dalrymple's papers.

Along the course of the Arkansas
through the center of the state similar
conditions prevail with many men
working frantically to strengthen
levees In eastern Arkansas hundreds
of persons already have fled from their
homes to higher ground.
Fear that the Newport leveeS would
not hold caused the women and chill
dren of that town to depart yesterday
Preparations were made to dynamite
the Newport reservoir lake in an effort
to divert the expected flood around the
town. Inhabitants of Watson were
hoping today for an answer to their
appeal for a government boat to aid
in rescue work in the districts over
flowed, by waters from the White and
the Arkansas, which have been held
back by the flood in the Mississippi.

supplies for several days have been
gathered by the chamber of COM
MERGE which is leading the relief
movement and will be distributed inn
mediately among flood sufferers. Tel
egraph communication has been re-
stored to many distant points and as
the roads are row more passable than
they have been in a week it is be-
lieved a majority of the refugees In
outlying districts can be given aid at
once.
Although the search for bodies con-

CLOSE CHURCHES; FIGHT FLOOD,
All Citizens Turn Out to Build Levee-
Highest Since 1901.

Little Rock, jan 31.-Churches in
Newport last night abandoned service
and every able-bodied man Joined in
the work on the levees about the city,
which are being strengthened against
threatening floods. The White river
is predicted to go to 80 feet by Tues
day night which is one foot higher
than the levees ever were built to with
stand. Numerous houses in the south
and west ends of Batesville, on White
river, are flooded and many families
are moving.
The Iron Mountain ticket office at
Newport yesterday reported that more
than 700 persons, mostly negroes, had
purchased tickets to get away from
the town.
The Arkansas river is ascending
steadily Backwaters have flooded the
west portion of Argenta and street car
service has been impaired. Residents
along the bank of the river have begun
to move their effects to points of safe

stage than at any time since 1904.
Rescue Score From Island.
The Arkansas is ten feet above flood
stage at Fort Smith, and is still rising.
More than a score of residents were
taken off Arbuckle island yesterday
and today. Backwaters have forced
the abandonment of the pumping sta

water thought to be sufficient for sew

DYES ARE SCARCE
Supply in America VIII Last
Less Than Three Months.
Pure White viii Be Popular
Because of Necessity.

There are many reasons why you
should purchase a suit or overcoat at
this time. Here are a few:
There is less than three months
supply of fast" dyes in the hands OF
American manufacturers.
When this quantity is exhausted, we
shall go back to logwoods, vegetable

to selling one kind of cloth at higher
price to a warning nation with cash in
hand?
The European gets the cloth, of

continues another six months, the
people of America will be wearing

overalls and uncolored shirts.

worth. but do not forget this:
You will never again this year have
the opportunity to buy a suit of
clothes or an overcoat made from alb
solutely. fast color synthetic dye as
cheaply as Fred Voiland is offering
them during his February suit and
overcoat sale which is now in prog
