A reader in the east writes that there has been a western Kansas man bacit""L there telling them about the heavy rains In western Kansas. The reader says be Is suspicious of the man and thinks that his story is a lie. He says he has always understood that little or no rain falls in the western part of the state. but that this western Kansas man is telling a story about ten Inches of rain falling in half an hour and wants to know it there is any truth in the statement. We have not kept track of all the rains that have fallen to western Kansas and of course cannot say as to the particular fall of mois- ture to which the man from Kansas re- l always We might‘ say. however. that if the impression prevails in the effete cast that it never rains in western Kansas it is a serious error. It is true that there are spells of drought when for several months there will not be audi- clent moisture fall to wot a 2 cent pos- tage stamp. but when it gets ready to rain out there the bottom seems to fall out of the sky. The story is told of a man who was driving over the divide north of Dodge City when one of the showers came up He was riding a backboard. which has a bottom made by fastening the cleats between the axles. with spaces of half an inch between the cleats. The water fell so fast that it could not run through the bottom of the backboard as fast as It iell.ltushlng down the side of the divide. the water struck a barb wire fence and damned up until the water ran over the wire of the fence. This was because the rain came so fast that it couldn't gt through between the wires of the fence. (in the same trip the traveler says he saw a lack rabbltt drown while it was lumping through the air. The same traveler declares that within half arr bout the water was three feet deep on the ridge and falling faster than it could run on both sides of the bill. We hays supposed that possibly the travel- er in his excitement might have exag- gerated. but there are residents in Dodge City who stand ready to prove the truthofthestory byshowlagthe 'rldge where the backboard stood dur- ing the rain and the place in the air where the Jack rabbit was when it drowned—Topeka Nail.

When phyui~ clans were summoned. yesterday. they expressed the opinion that the young man had become mentally unbalanced and advised his removal to the asylum. It is believed that his hallucinations will be but temporary. Burns is a member of Company I t‘. N. 0.. is highly thought of by his acquaintances and never before evidenced any men- tal weakness.

Merwiu It Sons. oyster dealers. was totally des- troyed by fire last night. causing a loss of 82.500. Twenty tons of buy and 200 bushels of wheat Were consumed. The fire was probably of incendiary origin and is thought to have been set. by chicken thieves. A burglar alarm attachment was arranged in the barn and last night Albert Wiedner. n host~ ler. was aroused by it in time to save the four horses and the ten head of cattle that were. in the barn. The fire was confined to the burn. but it is the opinion that were it not for the by drauts thit the town had recently put in. the loss to adjoining property would have been fully 830,000. Mystic—A big surprise was occas- ioned here last night when it was an- nounced that the Standard Machine Company's works would be shut down pending the action of the stock-boil!» era at their meeting next Monday. The employees had no intimation of the sifalr until i o'clock. when they had completed their day's labor. and the sudden and unexpected shutdown is a matter that is inexplicable 'to them. The company manufactures self-fecu- lng presses and paper cutters. Seven- ty-live men are employed and it has been one of the leading industries of Mystic for more than a quarter of a century. Thomas E. Stillman. a prom- inent attorney of New York. is presi- dent ‘of the company. Superintendent S. K.
