He 8 popular with Ids associates and his wife will be doubly welcome to Courtland. The wedding will take place next Thursday in Cripple Creek. Mr.

and Mrs. Kin man wiil arrive in Courtland Monday or Tuesday of next week. Last week we had au opportunity to inspect Amiourdale in Kansas There is neither pleasure nor inspiration in viewing a wreck of any kind and surely none when the wreck is filled and surrounded with mud. When the waters were raging there may have been inspiration for some deep emotion of the soul, but now the result of look ing is simply one of depression, your cariosity will be satisfied but the feeling is like that caused by the liver being out of order. To describe the wreck is like trying to describe a mud puddle filledwjtli drift wood.

The city is perhaps more than half gone and whole blocks are swept clean of everything except foundation stones and mud. A lew brick buildings collapsed, others would have an end knocked out or a hole punched in the side. Most of them were but slightly injured or cau be repaired. The frame houses may be on their foundations, slightly moved, or set down somewhere half a mile from the foundation, right side up, wrong side up or catacornered. The people have shoveled mud out of the windows and it would be piled up as high the window Bills.

A hupdred teams are hauling mud and debris. One dump contains about two acres of flood lumber piled up promiscously by the teamsters. Here is everything from household fur niture to bridge oak. The paved streets are nearly intact. The main street was in fair shape except that half a dozen houses had floated in and landed there.

There are buildings ie every stage of destruction and piled up on each other or into each other as the case might be. The furnituae and stocks of goods and everything inside ibe building is covered and mixed with mud. The horrible. nasty slimy mud that covers everything is what is so sickening. One wonders if the city will ever, ever be clean again.

It doesn't seem as 'hough there could be rain epough left in the heavens to do the job. And one might write on and on and yet give no adequate idea of what it looks like and yet it all looks alike. Tha extent of the destruction is the terrible fact. Twenty thousand people are homeless, yet they have gone to work to clean out the mud and rebuild their town. A few mfnutes work clean-out a hog's trough in a muddy pig-pen always satisfies ns, but to work in that mud for days, weeks, even months, well those people down there have courage.

We hope the state will make liberal ap? priations, The greatest sight perhaps is the freight yards with heir acres of track covered with cars. The flood had a merry time there. What it didn't do it didn't think of. Aronnd the stock yards and Union depot everything is intact afld except for the drying mud oa the walls but little evidence remains. From Tepeka to Kansas City on the south side of the river about eighty per ceut of the land is swept bare and over fifty fSer cent ruined for the year.

About all you see is nothing. North Topeka is practically intact, the destruction of buildings being nothing like that of Armourdale, but the mud is as bad or worse, and their fine shade trees will keep it wet much longer. Thejforce, the power of the water has gone, the exejtement is over? but the mud remains. When mighty forces are at work, whether fire, flood, wind or war, it is not hard to be brave, but when you have mud to fight, just mud, it's tough, mighty tough. The people whose houses, went into the river are almost to be congratulated.
