Known to Be Dead.
(li.T AasoclaUd Presa.)
??????. KAN., June 2.-The flood sit?
uation In Topeka to-night may be briefly
summarized thus:
Known dead, forty-eight. River liad
fallen to-day three feet ana Is now receding
at the rato of two Inches an hour. Dis?
tress will bo great among the refuge**?.
Governor Bailey Issued a proclamation
calling for help for the flood sufferers of
the State. Fifty deputy sheriffs, armed
with Winchesters, go to North Topeka to
protect properly, with orders to shoot
looters whenever they are (?aught stealing.

for outside aid waa de-clded upon at a
maes-meotlng to-day. when the Governor
waa requested to Issue tho call. It was do
clded to.mako this a general appeal for
the people all along the flooded districts
of the State as well as for those In To?
peka. Tho plan ts to make Topeka head?
quarters and to distribute the aid from
here to the other parts of the State.
Tho situation in the flood stricken dis?
tricts la better than It has been liefere for
the reason that fewer people? are marooned
In houses,?In trees and on Islands. Not to
exceed.four hundred people are In Topeka
on the north side to-night The work of
removing them began early to-day, and It
ls believed but few are left In tho.flooded

The damage may reach J2,O00,000. It may
?o beyond that. Crops In the Kansas bot
oms are destroyed, which will cause an
enormous loss to farmers.

Chairman Agnew, of the Republican

When asked what would probably be the

GETS PICKED UP.
That veteran and successful hotel mnn,
Mr. W. W. Price, who Is probably as
widely known In Virginia as any other
hotel man In AVashlngton, nnel who used
to be head clerk at Old Forel's, In Rich?
mond, Is being guyed by his friends of
the profession on how neatly he was
picked up yesterday by a strip of a girl
seventeen years old. Mr. Price's Jovial
face ls a familiar ligure rehind tho desk
at tho Metropolitan, whero ho Is head
c|ork. Yesterday a girl caino to tho hotel
end was shown to the parlor, where she
said she was watting to meet her uncle.
She sat there until towards evening, nnd
then went down to tho desk and took Mr.
Price Into her confidence. Bhe . had lost
fifty dollars at the Pennsylvania Station,
sho said, and had no money. Sho' hnd
como from Atlanta and was ?.-xpectlng
her uncle later. She was on her way to
Chicago, and had three trunks with her.
She had sent a telegram to her uncle ask?
ing him to telegraph her some money.
Her horses and piano would follow hor
to Chicago. Her father nnel mother both
were dead,
"She was an Innocent looking girl, and,
of course, I waH , ready to help her. I
gave her some money to go to the restau?
rant across the street und get a meal,
our dining-room having closed," said Mr.
Price, "nnd I gave her a room for the
night. I went home and got to thinking
over It. Where were her checks for her
baggagef I went down and Inquired
whether a telegram had been sent by her,
and I found that none hnd been. This
morning, after continuing my Investiga?
tion a little further, I^went to police head?
quarters and told the detectives about It.
They sent a man with me and I Introduced'
him to her and told her he would help
her find her fifty dollars. Meanwhile they
will communicate with the police of At?
lanta and try to find out whose daugh?
ter has run .away from home. I guess I
was done all rl?ht, but I would do like?
wise again under similar circumstances,
I suppose."
