KANSAS FLOODS
The Worst Over but It Was
Bad Enough
LOSS OF LIFE LESSENED
But the Extent of the Destruction of
Property Was Not Exaggera
ted by the Wildest
Reports.
Kansas City. Juno 3. The Missouri
liver Ml srvi-ii inches between 7 a. in.
and G p. m. U.day. and the Kansas riv
er fell nine inches in the same time.
There was :t suiisnine during a large
part of the day and th? general feelins
was hipeful. Militiamen and police
still yuani an approaches to the flood
ed district, and soldiers halt pedestri
an;! in the residence streets late at
night for there are no street light, the
electric light plant being still shut
down. Seven street car lines are in
operation, and the others will resume
In a day or two. The city water works
will begin, pumping late tonight, and
the retail business district will be sup
plied with water tomorrow. Railroads
are still giving Incomplete service, but
are repairing the washouts.
The reports of heavy loss of life in
Kansas City, Kansas, are not true and
the stories of bodies lying in the drift
are untrue. The loss of property has
not been, overestimated, however. An
Associated Press launch crossed to Ar
mourdale today and cruised for mil?s
through the water lanes that formerly
were city streets. The entire city is
under water. In many places twenty
feet deep and all of the 10,000 inhabi
tants have fled. Except the watchmen
in the packing houses on the river
front, pot a human being was to be
seen, or even a domestic animal. In
many of. the houses the upper windows
were open and the rooms in confusion.
No steps have been taken to protect
household goods in the buildings. .r
monrdale will nut bo inhabited for . a
Inns time after the flood " subside.
Kvfry Irjllding has boon more or loss
damaged and hunreds utterly ruined.
A strong current has swept through
the town and the river may persist in
following this course.
Vhire th" water is deep and still
there will b sis feet of solidly packed
mud when the flood abates and this
will need to be cleared away. On the
roofs of the houses that have been
uncovered a foot of mud lies. Kansas
avenue, the principal thoroughfare of
Arrr.ourdale, is choked twenty feet
with the debris of fallen telegraph
poles, sidewalks and fences. The brick
buildings have stood, loping all their
windows, but. the water has packed the
streets with rubbish. The clearing
away of the mud and ruins will be the
work of months.
In the West Bottoms of Kansas City
the waters of the Kansas river are
rushing through the streets like a
mountain torrent. Several old bri.k
buildings, undermined by the water,
"ell today. Not one wooden building !s
fit to be used. The Elevated Railroad
company i3 tearing down a number of
the stations which were tottering. In
the wholesale district where many
loaded frleght cars stand on the tracks
and the warehouses are full of valua
ble goods, men prowling about In boats
are compelled to account for them
selves under threat of shooting.
In the stock yards are dead.horss,
mu!ea and cattle floating on every side.
The elevated road ways are full of cat
tle driven from the pens and th? neces
sity of looking after these animals
makes the district busy, men going
about in boats. The losses of the rail
roads on loaded and empty car3 stand
ing In the yards of the West Bottoms
is even larger than it-presented. The
contents of every loaded car must be
seriously damaged and practically all
of the thousands of cars have bejn
overturned or smashed. The sub
sidence of the water left a fringe of dry
area next to the bluffs In the West
' Bottoms. The owners of houses and
stores vacated by the water promptly
took possesion and began clearing the
mud from the floors.
The following was Issued by Mavor
Rc-fd and the Commercial club today:
"Inquiries are being made respecting
the effect of the flood upon the business
of Kansas City. Mo. There Is abso
lutely no grounds for any anxiety con
cerning the business and financial con
dition of Kansas City, Mo., in which
city the large business establishments
are located. The wholesale houses
situated on the lowlands have resumed
business through branches already es
tablished up town. The waters are
rapidly receding and complete resump
tion of business in the institutions lo
cated in the lower lands i.i only a mat
ter of hours. We expect to have our
water worki system in operation in
twenty-four hours.
"Our sist?r city. Kansas City. Kans..
the place of residence of many peo
ple employed by our large establish
ments here has suffered a vety great
Hss. and we are informed, will appre
ciate aid from outside cities.
"Kansas city. Mo., has many gener
ous offers nf assistance from outsfd
sources but she is taking care of) her
own people, and giving all possible aid
to those needing help elsewhere."
The clearing house association issued
a statement to the same effect.
AST OFFICIAL BULLETIN.
Having to Do With the Effect Upon
the Mississippi.
Washington, D. C, June 3. The Mis
souri river at Kansas City has fallen
1.2 feet since Tuesday, night, and in
the absence of rain, which !s not now
indicated, will probably fall about two
feet more during the next twenty-four
hours and continue falling thereaft?r.
East of Kansps City the rise will e;m-
tinue but the crest will be reached as
far as Booneville, Mo., during Thurs- ;
day, about twenty-seven feet of water i
being Indicated at that place. At St.
Louis a stage of about 32.5 feet Is indi
cated on Thursday and forty-five feet
on Saturday . The upper Mississippi
will continue to rise f-lowly and a
twenty-one foot stage Is indicated at
Hannibal, Mo., during Thursday.
Preparations should be made for a
twenty-two feet stage within three
days.
From St. Louis to Cairo there will be
a steady rise for several days, with
stages . generally three or four feet
above the danger line. At Cairo a
thirty-five foot stage Is Indicated by
Saturday, while at Memphis there will
be between twenty-eight and thirty
fret by the end of ljcxt week. The Ar
kansas is still above the danger line
but- is falling
CRAWLING IP THE LEVEE.
The Mississippi Crowing Higher and
Higher at St. Louis.
St. Iotiis. Mo., June 3. Slowly the
Mississippi crept up the levee today
inch by inch until between sunrise n.nd
sunset the guage marked a rise of six
inches and tf night stood at 21. . feet.
The surface of the swiftly flowing wat
er was thickly bestrewed with drift
wood which seemed to Increase as the
day drew on, indicating that the crest
c' the flood is approaching. A num
ber of frame houses, submerged all but
the roofs, passed St. Louis and now
and then a dead animal, but no human
bodies were seen although a vigilant
watch has been maintained
The harbor department officials be
lieve that tomorrow the river will rise
more rapidly and they look for a thirty-five
foot stage by Saturday. If
their forcast comes true, the lower
floors of buildings along the levee
front will be flooded, but with all the
preparation that has been made such a
rise cannot cause any great amount
of damage to St. Louis. Among those
who will feel the losses most heavily
are the small truck farmers and gard
eners along the river Des Peres near
its confluence with the Mississippi.
On the Illinois side there is a more
serious l!oo 1 situation. Venice, situ
ated north of East St. Louis, is in al
most Immediate danger of inundation.
Between Venice and East St. Ixuis
is a lowland area used as farming
lands. The water now covers this area
to a depth of twelve feet, forming a
lake about a mil. square. Many
"squatter"- families have been forced
out leaving everything behind.
The river has encroached into the
railroad yards and shipping district of
East St. Loui.-s and warehouses located
along the lc ve? are half submersed.
With the first warning stores were
huriiedly removed beyond possible
reach 'of the wate r.
People along the liver have received
a general warning, and it is believtd
that all in danger have escaped to
higher grot nd.
TOPEKA SITUATION.
It Is Bid Enough But Belter Than Was
Earlier Reorted.
Topekn, Kus., June 3. The Kansas
river is rapidly falling and in a few
more days the work of re-habitating
North Topeka may begin. The situa
tion today may be summarized thus:
At 2 o'clock the river had fallen four
feet. The total number of known dead,
22; unidentified dead, 5: reported, C6.
The Commercial club will accept all
offers of help. The depth of the river
is yet 23 feet, which is seven feet above
the highest ever known in previous
years.
Governor Bailey has issued a procla
mation calling for help and asking that
contribution be sent to William Sims,
treasurer. The general relief fund has
passed $14,000. The Elks' fund has pass
ed $4,000. The fund in the hands of the
governor now amounts to $3,500.
The weather bureau predicts for to
morrow: "Cloudy tonight and tomor
row, with probably light showers. Ris
ing temperature." It is expected that
the city water supply will be resumed
some time tojftght. All who are held in
buildings in Nortli Topeka are safe and
comfortable. No one in the flooded dis
trict is in danger. All the homeless
are being well cared for.
Over 200 deputies are guarding prop
erty in North Topeka. The only rail
roads operating out of Topeka are the
Missouri Pacific, south, and the Santa
t e. west.
The governor may call an extra ses
sion to provide state relief for all suf
ferers from the floods In Kansas. Gov
ernor Bailey hopes his appeal for help
will bring enough money to meet the
emergency. If it fails, he said, he
probably would ask the members of the
legislature to come here for a day
without expense to the state and make
the necessary appropriations.

EXPERT TESTIMONY ,
Coffee Tried and Found Guilty.
No one who has studied its ejects

all kinds of ills, while Postum is a food
drink and a powerful rebuilder that
will correct the ills cauxl by ooff"o

An expert who has studied the sub
ject says: "I have studied the value of
foods in the manufacture of food
products f rc m pe rsonal investiga
tion and- wish to bear testimony to the
wonderful qualities of Postum Cereal
Coffee. I was an excessive coffee drink
er, although I knew it to- be a slow
poison. First it affected my nerves
and then my heart but when I once
tried Postum I found it easy to. give
trp the coffee, ronfu med coffee fien 1
though I was.
"Postum satisfied my craving for oof

in the place' of coffee all my troubles
have disappeared and I am again
healthy and strong.
"I know that even where coffee Is not
taken to excess it has bad effects on
the constitution in some form or other
and I am convinced by my investiga

is to quit coffee and drink Postum."

About It Will Be Through Agita
tors of Mine Workers Union.
Wilkesbarre, Pa., June 3. The dis
trict presidents of the Mine Workers'
union have nothing further to say as
to what was embodied in their state
ment last night. They say they do not
want to see work suspended unless the
operators refuse to treat with them.
The district board members say their
action is endorsed by the mine work
ers throughout the region. Superin
tendent Warren, the only operator
member of the board of conciliation in
the city, would make no statement.
THE REAL IRRITANTS.
New York, June 3. President Trues
dale of the He la ware, Lackawanna and
Western road, made the following
statement today:
"Neither the tone of the proclamation
of the district presidents of the Mine
Workers' union as it appears in the pa
pers today, nor the statement contained
therein are in any measure justified by
the facts of the situation as they exist
in the anthracite regions, as I under
stand them.
"The operators, without a single ex
ception so far as I know, are not only
entirely willing but extremely desirous
of carrying out the terms of the award
of the anthracite strike commission, not
only In spirit, but to the very letter.
"I believe they have absolutely done
this up to the present time, and the
only trouble is with the representatives
of the miners' union in appointing one
of their representatives on the concili
ation board. They are seeking to avoid
this Jn the manner which the commis
sion very plainly recommended. There
is no occasion for making any threats
of a strike or the tie-up to settle the
point at issue."
President Fowler of the New York.
Ontario and Western road, said: "I
think the situation is very much exag
gerated." MITCHELL'S STATEMENT.
Indianarolis, Ind., June 3. President
John Mitchell, of the United Mine
Workers, said today: "The refusal to
recognize these district presidents as
memlers of the board of conciliation
was in direc t violation of the provisions
made by the recent strike commission;
I cannot say as to what action will be
taken if the recognition of these three
members of the board cf conciliation is
still refused and I do not care to say
whether or not any other action than a
general suspension . of work Is feasi
ble." SECRETARY MOODY WILL QUIT.
lie Will Remain Only Through the
Present Administration.
Washington, I). C. June 3. It was
ennounced authoritatively tonight that
Secretary Moody of the navy would not
remain in the cabinet longer than the
present term of President Roosevelt.
Mr. Moody expects then to resume the
practice of law.
THE COMMERCIAL WORLD
There Was a Slight Upturn in Copper
on the Other Side.
New York, June 3. The recovery
again today by the stock market from
opening depression and the disregard
j of some of the bad news of the day
! seemed to give a fresh demonstration
, that a stable basis of prices had been
reached and after mid-day the price
level was lifted 'ciuite substantially.
But when the professional operators
commenced to take their profits, gains
melted away, and last prices generally
show net losses.

THE BUCKET-SHOP MEN
Saved by Prompt Action of Chicago
Board of Trade.
Chicago, June 3. Prompt action on
the part of the directors of the board
of trade and several members of the
board of trade firms forestalled the
service of warrants today fcr alleged
violation of the statute. Charges of
"pretended buying and selling of
grain," without any intention of deliv
ering, were brought against the indi
vidual directors and some charges
against Louis ft. Fyfe, J. H. Manaon.
B. 11. Bryan. Lorenzo Jamison and S.
Wren Unison, board cf trade operat
ors, by two men who are said to have
been victims of the recent raid upon
the establishment of George T. Sulli

however, for the perfecting of bonds for
all parties and a spectacular raid of the
board and oltices of its members, which
wa-s to have been a part of the pro
gramme, was avaoided.
THE UTAH CITY COUNCIL
Cited for the Violation of An Order of
Salt LaHe Court.
Salt Lake, Utah, June 3. Mayor
Thompson, the members of the city
council and President. A. W. McCune,
Superintendent W. 1'. Read and other
officials of the Consolidated Railway &
Power company, have been cited to
appear oefore Judge Hall on July 1 to
show cause why they should not be
punished for contempt of court.
The case grows out of the granting
of a franchise to the street railway
company to lay a double track on a
portion of First street. The grade at
thi point is exceedingly steep. It is
stated, the', action of the city council
violated an injunction issued about two
years ago. The complainant In the
case is former United States Senator
Arthur Brown.
YOUTH TRIED SUICIDE.
Waterburjv June 3. David Fitzpat
rick. 17 years old, of No. 151 Charles

THE JEWS OF RUSSIA
Are Preparing Now For An
Intelligent Defense
Distribution of Fire Arms Among the
(Members of the Faith at Odessa.
An Order to Assemble.
Berlin, June 3 A dispatch received
here from Odessa under the date of
May 2S, says the Jews there are now
prepared to defend themselves intelli
gently. Several thousand revolvers
have been imported since the Kishinef
massacre so that at present almost ev
ery Jew. man or woman, is armed.
Those who were unable to buy weapons
received tbcin as sifts from the .!e
f.ns committee. A system of com
munication has also been agreed u pen
so as to spread a warning through
out the c ity when there is an outbreak
of violence in any quarter.
Families residing near each other
will concentrate for defense and every
second man, will join with what might
be called an expeditionary corps to
take part in aggressive defense where
anythimr is actually going on.
The Jewish safety committee is re
ported to have arranged the worklns
men's association for aid in the event
of outbreaks. Arms have been dis-
uioutea irom uaessa to the Jews in
other cities of Russia. The Tageblatt
today prints a dispatch from St. Pet
ersburg announcing that a law was
published there today giving a list of
101 towns In Russia In which Jews are
allowed to acquire land and live with
out restriction.
The Jews are temporally forbidden
to buy land outside these places where
j they will be legally settled.

THE MAYOR OF DWI6HT
Though a Democrat, Comes Out in
Favor of Roosevelt.
r.loomington. 111.. Juno 3. President
Roosevelt put in about the busiest clay
cf his trip today from a speech mak
ing standpoint. He made his first
speech at Freeport at 8 o'clock this
morning and c-oncludej his addre
here shortly after 10 o'clock tonight. He
had spoken r.ine times, eight of thess
speeches were made in the oien air,
and several of them in rainstorms. The
hardest rain encountered today was at
Pontiac. whrr? he dedicated a soldiers'
and sailors' monument.
The most interesting feature of the
clay occurred at Dwight. The mayor
of this place is a democrat. In infro
ducing the president he said: "I con
sider you. Mr. president, the ideal
American c itizen. I am In favor of the
course you have pursued and will sup
port you for re-: lec tion."
The president, responding to the in
troduction, said: "I am pleased by th?
kind words the mayor has said to me.
Perhaps I prize them especially, Mr.
Mayor, coming from one.who is not of
my party, but the whole thing is, my
friends, if we are all good Americans,
that is enough platform for all of us to
stand on. I prize more than I can say
tuch words as have been uttered by the
mayor, and I assure you I shall do my
best to trv to deserve them."
The president also assisted in the
opening of a new hotel at Dwight. A
wire was run from the hotel to the rear
platform of his car, and by pressing a
button he started the machinery in the
building.
The places at which the president
spoke today -were Freeport. Rockford,
Rochelle. Aurora, Joliet, Dwight, Pon
tiac, Lexington and Bloomington.
AGAINST REORGANIZATION.
New Y'ork. June 3. Holders of a
fairly large portion of the $14,5CO.0OO of
the first mortgage bonds of the United
States Shipbuilding company have an
nounced their opposition to the reor
ganization plan under which they are
to receive preferred stock..

DRESSMAKING WAS PROFITABLE.
New Haven, June 3. The inventory
of the estate of Miss B. T. Smith, for
some years a fashionable dressmaker
in this city, shows that she was worth
$7G,G80.8G. The money was practically
all made in the business.

THE OHIO CONVENTION
Everything Is in the Hands of Senator
Hanna.
Columbus, O., June 3. The opening
sessions, as well as the preliminary
meetings of republican state con
vention today showed that the claim
that this la "Manna's Year" with the
parly in Ohio was well founded. It ii
conceded that his friends controlled al
most all of the twenty-one" congres
sional districts. The closest contests
were for members of the state central
committee on which there are seven
teen Hanna men. On some of the oth
er committees the Hanna elect was
more nearly unanimous.
It is generally known that Myron T.
Herrick, who will bo nominated for
governor without opposition, joins
Senator Hanna in the desire not to dic
tate the nominations for all the state
officers and at the same time no fight
ing Is wanted on the floor of the con
vention. The auditorium was packed. J. B.
Clingerman, chairman of the state
central committee, called the conven
tion to order this afternoon. When
Senator Hanra was introduced as tem-
porary chairman the demonstration
was long and loud. Mr. Hanna said in
part:
"Republicans today tan congratulate
themselves that in the direction of na
tional affairs they have realized ell J
they hoped for and all they looked for
n the administration of President
Roosevelt, (applause.) 1
"We look back but a few months.
when that heroic young man, standing
under the gloom of that awful tragedy
at Buffalo, feeling and appreciating the
responsibility that was cast upon him,
and in the presence of the American
people, made that sacred promise to
them that to the best of his ability,
with his heart full of desire, it should
be his aim to carry out the policies of
President McKinley. (Long-continued
applause.) And how well he has suc
ceeded we all know, and we all fee!
that this convention will express an
approval of that administration.
"Human liberty, protection to Ameri
can industries and our workingmen.
We started with that slogan many
years ago. It went forth from the
hearts of every fireside In the land, and
If we needed any additional tiibute or
accessory to add to the lustre of that
monument, it would be now in the cul
mination of happiness and contentment
perceptible everywhere.
'Concerning the relationship between
capital and labor, the day is dawning
when that all-important, aye, that
economically important question will be
taken up. discussed and considered, not
purely from the standpoint of politics,
but from the standpoint of human'.ty
and sovereignty."
The recommendations agreed upon a
commendation of Piesident Roosevelt's
ability and adherence to McKinley's
principles and favor . his nomination
and the re-election of Har.na as sen
ator. They endorse Govrnor General
Taft of the Philippines. No quarrel
ing is wanted in thev Taft or other na
tional declarations. Certain planks in
sist on the enforcement of the amend
ments for negro suffrage or the reduc
tion of the re-presentation of the south
ern states in congiss and the electoral
college.
FOR THE PUBLIC HEALTH
State and National Boards Endorse
the Action of California.
Washington, D. C, June 3. The first
conference of the state and national
boards of health under the act of July
