It is rumored that at last Mr. Cleveland is in entire aocord with the great majorty of the democratic party. For eight—yes, ten years he has been out of harmony with most of his party on many questions, but he lines upßhoulder to shoulder with the rank and file when he s ays he doesn’t desire the nomination for president in 1904. —White County Democrat. Week after next will be a big week for Indianapolis. The Head Camp meeting of the Modern Woodmen of America, the largest fraternal society in the world, will convene there, and it is estimated that 50,000 visitors will be in the capitol city. Reduced rates are granted by the railroads and many local members of the order will probably attend. The round trip rate from Rensselaer is $3.30, tickets on sale June 14 and 15, good returning to June 26. Last Wednesday the handsome new state capitol of Mississippi was dedicated. The entire cost was $1,250,000, and all the stone used in its construction came from the Bedford quarries in this state. The structure has been erected very speedily, work having begun only in January, 1901, Commenting on the new building a dispatch from Jackson says: ‘There has not been a single suggestion or intimation of wrongdoing on the part of any person connected with the work, and the whole people are fully convinced that no scandal will ever attach to the magnificent structure which has been built and paid for without the issuance of a dollar’s worth of bonds.”

It is the opinion of the Nashville American “too many young Southerners are endeavoring to be doctors and lawyers. Many of these youths could make more money in mechanical pursuits, in civil engineering, railroading and manufacturing, and be just as highly esteemed.” This comment is not peculiar to the Southr It is applicable to all parts of the country. There ought to be great reforms in education, too. The majority of those who are provided with what we call “higher education” acquire knowledge which is of no use to them in practical life and which is seldom even a polite embellishment. It only represents a consumption of time that could have been better used. The regular college education frequently appears to be of no use except to those who set about imparting it to somebody else. The average educator is about as helpless a person in real life as can be found. He hasn’t even good theories on education. —Cincinnati Enquirer. # ' Read The Democrat for news.

THE GREAT FLOODS.

To understand the flood situation in Kansas, and just why Topeka received the brunt of the swell of water, it is necessary to be familiar with the river systems. Of course every little creek is swollen but the great damage is being done by two distinot systems, the Kansas and Arkansas Rivers. The Kansas river and its sources take in the northern half of the state. Starting at the western edge of the state the smoky Hill and Solomon Rivers bisect the northwestern part of the state, running nearly parallel. On the Solomon River are Hill city, Stockton, Osborne, Beloit. At the latter point the Solomon River takes a southern curve and joins the Smoky Hill River at Dickenson. On the Smoky Hill, starting at the west, are Russell Springs, Ellsworth, and Salina. Abilene is on the Smoky Hill River east of where it is joined by Solomon River. At this point the river was falling Tuesday. The conbined waters flow on east to Junction City, where the Republican River from the north rashes into the Smoky Hill, then on to Manhattan, where the combined waters flow into the Kansas River, which comes directly from the north. From Manhattan to Kansas City the Kansas River was from three to fifteen miles wide, and in some places over fifty feet deep. At all towns mentioned there is great suffering from the flood, and, while facts are not obtainable, it is considered certain that from Manhattan to Topeka the Kansas River has claimed many dead. The swell of water, re-enforced by small streams grown to torrents, struck Topeka with the swell of water which had been accumulating from all over the western part of the state. Kansas City, Kansas, of coarse, got the fall force of the flood from the west, while the Missouri River encroached from the east. From these on the combined Missouri and Kansas Rivers rush on down through Missouri to the Mississippi. In the southern half of Kansas the Arkansas River strikes Syracuse on the extreme west, then takes in Lakin, Garden City and Cimarron. Below Dodge City it flows to the northwest past Kinsley, Larned, and at Great Bend takes its course southwest to Hutchinson, Wichita and Winfield. The Neosho Valley, in the eastern part of Kansas, is another scene of desolation, heavy damage having been done, especially to the crops, but there is no report of loss of life in this section. At Hutchinson and the surrounding valley it is reported that the loss is $2,000,000. The city itself was a lake five miles square. The Midland Hotel, banks, library and other buildings were nnder water. The foundations of many buildings are weakened.

Aneimon, v Farmers: Why remain in the North and stay in doors six months in the year consuming what you raise during the other sia months? Go South where you can Work out doors every month in the year, and where you are produc- ~ ing something the year round. If you are a stock raiser you know your stock are now “eating their heads off” and, besides, have to be protected from the rigors of winter by expensive shelter. Cost of production determinesplace of production, and Alabama and Florida can produce beef and sheep cheaper than any other state, and must become the center of a great industry already begun. Economical stock feeding requires the combination of both flesh-forming and fat-forming foods in certaiu proportions. Alabama and Florida contains millions of acres of unutilized chean range, and these lands when cultivated produce in abundance the velvet beam and cassava, the first a flesh producer, and the latter a fat producer, and they are the cheapest and best fattening materials known to the world.

Nervous Prostration Followed. Dr. Miles* Nervine Gave Bach Health. 1 was laid up during the winter of 94-95 with sciatic rheumatism and nervous prostra - tion brought on by a seven attack of LaGrippe. The rheumatic pains were so severe at times that ft was impossible for me to turn in bed. I was unable to sleep. I had two of our best physicians in attendance, took all the advertbed remedies for troubles of this kind but got no help whatever until I took Dr. Miles' Restorative Nervine. Six bottles restored me to health; I am better than for years; in fact am entirely relieved. I can say with a clear conscience that it was Dr. Miles’ Restorative Nervine that restored me to health. When the pains of sciatica and rheumatism were most severe I secured almost immediate relief by the use of Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain Pills. I have recommended Dr. Miles’ Remedies to many people."—Fred Myers, Rcdfield, S. D.
