P Tho 'tributaries of tho Kaw and the up-
k per section of tho Kaw itself aro falling
h and will continue lo fall. The Kaw
t river is discharging its water into tho
i Missouri at great speed, which means
S that there will bo no backing up as iu
P 11)03 and 1Q0-1, when all tho Kaw bot-
totns were flooded. In those yenrsthc
I Missouri river was higher than tho Kaw.
L Some of tho lowJands about Kansas

tho district that on Wednesday of last
week had a population of 12,000 could
show but 4000 persons residing within
i its limits, and many of these were there
because they were too poor to go to the
cxpenso of moving. All day long ve
hicles of all sorts were lo be seen cart
ing household goods to places of safotj',
while those of the poorer classes strug
. gled gamely along carrying their goods
., lone distances on foot.
The great packing house district was
i a veritable hive of industry. Every
j; available man that could be secured was
i' employed to aid in removing goods.
Twenty million pounds of salt and pick-
led meats were moved from tho cellars

their homes who had delaj-eu. Much
of the contents of the houses have been
moved over and warning has been given
to everybody. The water is deeper in
the streets than at anj' time since the
big flood of 1003. From the Union Pa
cific tracks to Soldier Creek, Kansas
avenue, the main street, is all under
water. Tho current is beginning to
sweep away outbuildings, and thousands
of ties from tho Union Pacific tie plant
aro pounding their way through the

II. Hitchcock, tho manager of tho Taft
Interests In Chicago. In dealing with the
contesting: delegations before tho national
central committee wan sol at rest by tho
dispatch of a telegrnm today by Secre
tary Taft to Mr. Hitchcock, directing him
to mako no chnngo In the methods ho la
pursuing. President Roonovclt docs not
concoal his satisfaction at the work bo
Ing dono In Chicago. Tho administra
tion view Is Inclosed in tho following
uttornnco which exactly prosont, not
only tho views of the president, but Sec
rotary Taft:
"Now Is tho time to settle tho matter.
Those who aro falling at Chicago aro tho
ones who have been making unceasing
war on tho administration for a long
porlod and hod tho tables been turned
would have gono the limit of their rower
to eliminate tho ltooaevclt Influence on
the party."
CHICAGO, Juno 8. Tho antl-Taft pco
plo today evolved a plan to prevent south
ern dclogatlona from controlling tho Jto
publlcnn convention. Thoy declare that
thev will submit It to tho convention.
Tho plan In Identical with. tho plan pro
posed by Senator Quay of Pennsylvania
In lflOS, but which fnlled of adoption at
that time. This plan, If adopted, will
give to each Btuto four dclcgatos-at-largo
and ono for evory 10.000 Republican votes
cast at the last procodlng presidential
elootlon. Tho effect would bo to cut
off approximately 1G0 dolcgatos from the
southern states and add approximately
1K0 to tho northern states All of tho
northern states would gain, excepting
Massachusetts and Nevada, the latter
being considered a northern stato by tho
backors of tho plan. These would loso

his 6on the presidency of the. church,
aud claimed that tho latter testified on
the stand that ho was not ordained by
his fathor. lie asked why young Joseph
was not brought forward on August S,
1844, when Brighnm oung was named,
nnd asserted that Mother Smith said
that William Smith was the rightful
heir.
Curtis Denies Statements.
Itenlying lo his opponent. Elder Cur
tis said President Smith never made
tho statement relative to the divest
ment of authority which Elder Eades
had quoted. This statement was mado
by John A. Macintosh, president of tho
district, and ho was old and childish.
And if Elder Eadcs had continued he
would havo read "all official acts of
any elder while acting undor the au
thority of the old church are recognized
by us; but the acts of thoso elders who
receive their authority under anv of
tho other organizations, such as Bncr
hams. aro not recognized as authority."
"What we do object to." he con
tinued, "is that those who were or
dained under Joseph taught falso doc
trine, and then they lost their author
ity." Tie hoped his brother would con
fine his quotations lo what young
Joseph did say, and not mako linn re
sponsible for what somo ono else had
to say.
Eades Has "Wrong Interpretation.
"Referring to the question of the
"taking off of Joseph," he said that
the revelation continued as follows:
"But verily, verily I say unto you that
none olse shall be appointed, unto this
gift except it be through him, for if
it be taken from bim, ho shall have
power to appoint his successor. Joseph
remained faithful,, but he had the
power to appoint his successor, even in
case of his transgression. According
to the interpretation of Elder Eades,
Joseph eithor had to die or sin before
Almighty God before ho could appoint
his successor.
President Young had said that tho
Prophet Joseph ordained his brother
Hyrum as president, and yet it was
said that ho remained faithful, and
could not appoint his successor iviless
he transgressed. But on the other hand,
Orson Hyde said Joseph did not men
tion Hyrum 's name, and both could not
be right. Elder Eadcs had read from
B. IE. Kobcrls's book, and the speaker
told them not to be blinded by Rob
erts's statements all the time.
Apostles and quorums of seventy
were not equal in power, and their
decisions had to be unanimous, and
they were not.1
Blood Atonement and Polygamy.
Briggs and Eardley left the church
because principles were advocated cou
trary to the law. Tho blood atone
ment and polygamy were 6et up, and
"fair weather men" would not accept
those doctrines contrary to law.
He quoted from tho St. Louis Ledger
of 1S4.4, thirteen days after the death
of tho prophet, in which the statement
was made that it was asserted "that
his son, a lad of about 12 years of ago,
is to be tho ruler, and will succeed
the imposter Joe, and that a revelation
is to be left behind iu the Doctrine and
Covenants," and we find this revela
tion, .
Referring to the endowments, Eldnr
Curtis said not a single individual in
the Reorganized church received the
endowments they arc receiving in the
Salt Lake and other temples in Utah,
and there is no place in all tho law that;
provides for the ceremonies there car
ried out. "1. challenge the brother to
show where such work is in harmony
with the law of God. No grips, sign's
or passwords as the" are using is pro
vided for by the law," He asked any
of them who had gone through the tem
ple if they had ever laid eyes on ungels
in the Ulah temples or on tho Son of
tho .Father.
Elder Kndcs, replying, claimed Smith
did make the statement ho quoted, and
ho desired the book produced that
would disprove it.
Ho proceeded to tell about a series
of visions Mother Smith had, in one
of which sho averred that William
Smith was the rightful heir, and in an
other that Joseph was to succeed his
father.

it was rumored W. Murray Crane,
United States Senator from Massa
chusetts, will bo tho next chairman of

The rumors had it. further. that'Charlos
G. Dawes of Illinois will succeed C.
N. Bliss of Now York as treasurer
of the committee, and that Elmer Dover
of Ohio will again bo tho secretary.
Nono of tho men mentioned would do
more than smilo when the subject was
broached to him, but the "tickot" was
given an appearance of probability by
several politicians who declined lo al
low their names to be used as conlirmers
of tho "slate."

Sim LINE GETTING

Tied Up and Will Be for
Some Days.
BUTTE, .Tunc 8, Tho Orogon Short
Lino ia tho only lino today operating
trains out of Montana from this point,
though late tonight tho Northern Pa
cific will have three, trains in from the
east, barring no further troublo on its
lino between Butte and Logan occurs.
The washout at Jefferson island was re
paired at noon today, and all was iu
readiness to send trains over the lino
into Butte, Avhen a rock elido occurred
almost within sight of tho city, block
ing the lino for a number of hours.
Tho last train on tho Great Northern
to reach Butte enmo in on the evening
of Juno 3, and there is littlo prospect
tonight of a resumption of train service
boforo tho end of the week, until which
time tho mines of tho Boston & Mon
tana company in this city must remain
closed, tho Great Northern trains curb
ing tho oro from Butto to tho Great
Falls smelters. Tho latter are closed
as the result of water breaking through
a penstock and flooding tho works, do
iug considerable damage.
Miles of Track Gono.
"Further information from the west to
night is to tho effect that; miles of track
of tho Northern Pacific are out between
Bntto aud Missoula, and marooned pas
sengers at Drummond will not bo able
to get out of that place beforo a week's
time, according to tho railway people.
Tho Boulder rivor at Basin last night
reached tho highost stage in sixteen
years, washing out thrco stool bridges
on tho Great Northern, carrying away
tho big dam of tho Basin Ecduction
company, together with a number of
residences.
At Bozeman gasolino pumps havo
been installed in the basements of mer
cantile establishmonts to keep the
basoments clear of water, and in this
manner heavy damage is being averted.
A portion of the mountain southwsofc
of the Columbia Gardens became loos
ened today, tho gigantic avalanche of
immense boulders shaking up tho im
mediate country like an earthquake with
a roar that was heard for a long dis
tance. Boulder in Danger.
Tclephono advices from Boulder,
Mont., fifty miles north of here, to the
Miner tonight state that the streets of
that town aro flooded, it being impos
sible to walk around the town, the
water coming to tho knees of horses,
the flood being at a higher stage to
night than last nicht. It was feared
tonight that tho Boulder river, above
the town, would break through its
banks and inundate the place, and
that every building in tho littlo town
would bo washed away. A mass meet
ing of the pooplo was called, and a
largo force of men immediately dis
patched to tho river banks to construct
levees, as this course is believed to be
the only one which will prevent the
river from doing enormous damage.
District Manager George 3?. Arm
strong of the telephone company, who
telephoned the Miner tonight, states
that tho damage dono to tho Great
Northern between Butte and Boulder is
serious. Ho is at the head of a gang
repairing telephone lines. All of tho
railroad bridges arc either out or so
badly damaged that they will practi
cally have to be reconstructed, and the
grado in places is obliterated. At
Bernico the couutry road was so badly
flooded" that the ropair wagon began to
float, aud thev had to abandon tho
vehicle and feel their way afoot on high
ground.
Mr. Armstrong does not believo it
will bo possible for the Great Northern
trains to got through from Butte beforo
three weeks.
