Phenomenon Raises Belief That Vast Sea is Under the State. A dispatch to the New York Herald from Larned, Kan., yesterday, says one of those remarkable freaks which go to confirm the belief that a great river or sea is under all of western Kansas has just occurred near there. Last night the railroad station of Rosel, on the Jetmore branch of the Atchi- son, Topeka and Sante Fe railroad, eigh- teen miles northwest of there, nestled peacefully on the bosom of the prairie, and no one doubted that the next day's sun would awaken its little industries to their usual life and activity. Yesterday morning, when those who live in the neighborhood turned their attention toward the station, they were thunder- struck to find that the place which the night before had consisted of railroad sta- tion, two or three small elevators and a few other small buildings, had completely disappeared. Investigation proved that the land upon which the buildings were located had disappeared in a chasma, carrying down the buildings. The depth of the chasm can- not be determined. Hundreds of persons visited and looked in wonder on the scene yesterday. The hole ts about an acre and a half in extent, of an uneven, oblong shape, with rovgh, almost perpendicular walls. filled to within about seventy feet of the surface with dark, stagnant looking water, into which everything thrown immediately sinks. The depth of this water is unknown. The theory is that whatever is thrown into the water is drawn under and carried away by the underflow, but there is no cur- rent or agitation of the surface water in its depths, never to be recovered. No lives were lost, as no persons remained at the station over night, the nearest residents oeee, a family of farmers a mile dis- THE WORLD OF SOCIETY Friends, Miss Chambers and Mr. Mearns the Happy Principals—Personal Notes, The marriage of Miss Mary Beard Cham- bers and Mr. William A.

The bodice had a round yoke i f the same becoming effect. * diamond and pearl orna- s were worn. Her tulle veil was sht under a cluster of crange blossoms, and a shower bouquet ef white roses and lilics of the valley was carried. The maid of honor wore a le cked gown of white lace over white satin, and c <i American Beauty roses. The bridesmaids were gown- ed in white silk, the low-necked waists made entirely of shirred tulle. The skirts were edged with a full box plaiting of the tulle, and the sashes were also of the tulle. They carried bouquets of Carnot roses. The reception which followed at the res- idence of Mr. and Mrs. Chambers was at- tended by a large circle of relatives and a few intimate friends. The house was p: fusely adorned with plants und white roses, and the newly married couple received the congratulations of their friends standing in the bay window, which was arranged as a bower. Mr. and Mrs. Chambers wel- comed the guests as they entered, the let- ter richly gowned in heliotrope’ brocade and point lace.

Late in the evening Mr. cnd Mrs. Mearns started for a northern trip, which will ex- as far as Montreal. The bride's going- away costume was a stylishly demure brown cloth, with hat to match.
