TOPEKA, Kas, Sept. 27.-To the

Results of the plundering Of the state

Sept 5, twenty-four state and national
banks had been held up or burglarlzed

mittee of the Kansas State Bankers
association as totaling nearly 100000
Two of the twenty-fo four bank robber-
les concerned national banks, while the
remaining twenty-five occurred at state
banks. This was imputed to the larger

The mysteries of rain are not yet cleared away. The forces of electric ity, of magnetism, of radio activity, or ultra violet light and all the other agencies which may collaborate in the production of a downpour of rain are very obscure. Wind and rain come to- gether, and the changes of tempera- ture make what we call weather. In the South Sea islands the natives have no word which means weather, as the atmospheric conditions never change.
