For five days the Frisco. Katy and Missouri Pacific have been experiencing great difficulty in handling trains, because of high waters. The first ray of hope Was visible this afternoon, but was faint indeed and could scarcely be recognized with the naked eye. The advices from the flood centers state that the waters are receding. Up at La Cygnej on the Frisco, the treacherous Marias des Cygnes river is set tling, though slowly, back to its form er self and if no more water falls the river will be off the track by tomorrow.

The Katy and Missouri Pacific have been swapping tracks over in Missouri because of the flood. The Frisco has had a plug accommodation train up in Linn county marooned since Friday night. The train was operated to handle business from La Cygne. Friday evening it went too far and a flood in the rear cut off its retreat to Fort Scott. It will likely be home tonight.

The Frisco Flyer, which started from Fort Scott to Kansas City yesterday at 8:30 did not arrive at its destination until about noon today. If the Flyer, at its usual schedule, had been running across country all these tedious hours of detouring, it could have gone from. St Louis to Denver with ease. The misfortune of detouring can best be understood when it is realized that over new track schedules are greatly reduced. amusing stories are heard apropos of these detoured trains.

The average time required to get from Kansas City to Fort Scott during these troublesome times is greater than would ordinarily be consumed in getting from here to Denver or Chicago. Coming home from Kansas City, vjne is sent by Chillicothe, Se-dalia, Pittsburg or even Springfield. The railroads, of course, cannot charge extra mileage for this traveling. A ticket" to Kansas City still costs $2, though perhaps $20 worth of riding at 2 cents a mile will be done before the destination is reached. The Flyer and Meteor were detoured to day.

The Meteor met with ill luck to day and did not arrive until about 3 o'clock this afternoon, being only seven hours late. The Frisco has reason to believe that the crest of the flood has been reached. It has everything in readiness to get busy repairing the track as soon as the waters sufficiently recede.

Wfla: Oo to your oruKR'o'- svrim PeDsln. SIX MONTHS OF ADMINISTRATION PASSES INTO HISTORY. AN INVENTORY OF EVENTS Disclose' That His Administration Has Thus Far "Been Successful. Topeka, July 13. Six months ago Governor Stubbs was sworn in as the state's chief executive, and the administration has progressed far enough to take an inventory, as is done semi-annually in all up-to-date business enterprises.

An inventory of the present administration covering the first six months shows that the new Governor has been doing things. Of the Governor's own peculiar ideas the Legislature sanctioned only a part. sBut that part included sev eral laws relating to good roads, important amendments to the tax law, the bank guaranty law, the law to correct corporate abuses without wrecking the corporations them selves, the city commission government law, the anti-lobby law, impor tant school legislation including state aid for high schools, the inheritance tax law, several labor laws, amend-! ments to the primary election law, elaborate laws on the subject of pure food and tuberculosis, the new code to abolish court delay and simplify court procedure, legislative apportionment, the reference library law, and the law providing for the publication of campaign expenses. Of the Governor's legislative pro gram the Legislature rejected his plan for the regulation and supervi sion of public service corporations, his plan to suppress the drug store joint was rejected and an air-tight pro hibitory law offered in. its stead; the Legislature rejected also his employ ers' liability bill, hjs bill to remove derelict and incompetent officers by civil action, his bill to consolidate the penal and charitable boards, and his plan for the speedy extinction of the state debt.

It is plain that many of the Governor's ideas for legislation were not given serious consideration by the Legislature; it is also plain now that many of those rejected contain sufficient merit that they are still is sues and will bob up again at the first opportunity. Governor Stubbs has taken hold of the affairs of his office with the laws now on the statute book, with all his energy, and the results are in plain sight. In his most important appointments almost without exception he has pressed into the public service men of the highest character and standing who were in no sense office seekers. A majority of them had to be persuaded to accept their offices. These new men have already made many changes in the affairs of thp state.

The State Grain Department is now being overhauled: the dozens of useless employes have been discharged, and those charged with embezzlinp the state funds are are being prosecuted. The deputy oil inspectors who drew big salaries and traveled around over the state state expense to supervise the local oil inspectors have been discharged, and their work of supervision is done by the state inspector himself. In the live stock department the policy of stamping out cattle diseases is being vigorous ly puhed. The Governor insists that the department must clean up the infected districts and get every county in the state out of quarantine this year. In many other state departments, such as the Bank Examiner's department, the Adjutant-General's office, the state penitentiary, the state Soldiers' Home, the School for the Deaf and the State Agricultural College important changes and improvements are going on.

The changes are being made by the officers who have been impressed with the Stubbs idea. In Governor Stubb's miscellaneous appointments it is noted that the old soldiers have walked off with the lion's share. In fact where an old soldier has been an applicant for job which he was competent to fill it has been repeatedly found useless of others to apply. The governor, has said that the repeated decisions o' the Supreme court show that the old soldier's preference law is inoperative unless the appointing power acts upon it in good faith and he proposes to give the veterans the job? wherever possible consistent witr good public service. As it has been noted before, Governor Stubbs has shown little execu tive clemency.

In fact he has not granted a single pardon since he has been in his present position. Is a subject upon -which he has thought a great deal and acted ver; little. The only pardons he hat granted have been the perfunctor citizenship pardons which belong tr a convict as a matter of right wher his term expires. Governor Stubbr has exercised clemency in the forr of paroles to a limited extent undet strict provision for immediate returr to prison if the. paroled convict var ies in the slightest degree from thr rules laid down If you lived in a furnished rooir wouldn't it be wise to take a look a some of those that are advertised tnr day just to see whether or not yo ought to move?

Phone 174 115 Market. Fort Scott. Ask your Neighbor THE COST OF IGNORANCE. Ignorance has two constant allies superstition and jealousy. Every new idea, every step forward in the world's progress, has met this trio at the threshold.

Ignorance has denied, superstition has feared, jeal ousy has fought every advancement. "The discovers of new arts and sciences," says Disraeli, "have hardly ever lived to see them adopted by the world." Not progress alone, but virtue it self has been persecuted. Socrates paid the death penalty for nc other offense than his intelligence and virtue. It required courage in those days to think. It has always required courage to be honest.

But conscience pays a reward for both. Aristotle, whom Macaulay des ignates "the most enlightened and profound critic of antiquity," was driven to suicide by those who were too ignorant to comprehend, too su perstitions to accept, too "jealous to credit his philosophy. Poison rescued him from his per secutors. Ignorance is often powerful; it is always cruel. Knowledge has had a hard fight for existence.

Albert the Great, the godfather of the phonograph, spent thirty years creating a machine that gave forth vocal sounds, which Thomas Aquinas demolished in thirty minutes. And the latter thought he had done the more commendable thing. Such was the intolerance of the Thirteenth' century. This old world has had a hard time establishing its rightful place in the universe. All its best friends have suffered the penalties of torture or the grave.

In 1616 the church placed the ban upon the great works of Copernicus For over 200 years his truths were discredited. It is less than a century since his light was permitted to shine. Galileo gave his life as a pledge of his sincerity. Ignorance bolted his prison doors, bigotry burned his manuscripts. It is a significant fact that the year of Galileo's death occurred the birth of Newton.

Ignorance has had to battle with the great minds in every age. Roger Bacon, the "geometrical' monk, was kept in close, confinement ten years as a penalty for telling the truth. The truth was painfully unpopular even as late as the close of the Sev enteenth century. Error wore the ermine. Truth occupied the dungeons aaid wore the chains.

Mankind has always exacted great sacrifices from its deliverers. The reward of truth is triumph. John K. Le Baron. Sacrifice Sales.
