'EThe WOman's Suffrage bill was de-
feated, lately, in the Massachusetts Sen
ate, by vote Of twenty-seven nays to

Old Orthodoxy holds in check, with
firm and steady hand, young, spright-
ly, liberalism, even in Massachusetts,
that State where we should most look
for advance movements.
The ideal theories of Emerson, Park
CT and others, are beautiful to admire,
but will not do to confide in, by the
yeomanry of the old Bay State, the
hardy sons and daughters of the noun
tains.
The editor of the Methodist remarks
1.-TWO master-minds are about to adj
dress us OH the subject, and we trust
the discussion will take from them a
more commanding character. John
Stewart Mill, sometimes called the best
living thinker i'll Europe, is preparing a
volume in defence of Female Suffrage.
DR.. Bushnell, one of the best thinkers
of this country, is preparing n volume
against it. We hope the thoughtful
women of America will turn away
from the clatter which belittles the dis
cussion among our Liberalists', and

THE NEOsHO VALLEY ROAD.

We had call from Mr.. Maxson yes
terday, who is now connected with this
road in securing the right ofway through
the country. We learn from him that
the work on the road is progressing
well, considering the bad weather. The
road is all under contract TO this place,
in sub-contracts, and work is now be-
ing prosecuted all along the line. Par
ties are grading between Council Grove
and Americas and between Americas
and this place. A considerable force of
hands commenced to work from Amer
icus this way OH Friday last. The right
of way is all secured to the vicinity of
Americas. The ties are all out for the
road as far as the Grove. The right of
way has been secured through the Kaw
lands, together with the right to cut ties
on the reserve. Mills will soon be in
operation cutting ties for the road to
this place. The contractor now expects
10 have the road graded to Emporia by
the 18th of August. Mr.. NJ. says it is
confidently expected that the cars will
be running to Burlington by the LIST of
january next. How are you Railroads z

the prrties left, the lower cords of the
railroad bridge were two feet under wa
ter, and the water was within a few
inches of the Republican bridge, and a
sheet of water for a quarter of mile
existed this side of the bridges, where
three hours before all was dry.
AT two o'clock the bottom between
Riley and town was one sheet of water,
which could not have been less than ten
feet deep. The railroad track was the
only means of communication. AT 81
O'Clock locomotive started down with
an additional car load of stone. At the
slough the track gave way from under
and the locomotive and car stuck in the
mud. The water had undermined the
track, and at dark a half mile of it was
gone. Two men were slightly wound
ed when the locomotive went down.
This rise in the Republican Is the highest
ever known. Our town is probably thirty
feet above water, but to the north. the east,
and the south, great sheets of water can be
seen, where only our people have been ac-
customed to behold the golden grain the
beautiful verdure and the browsing herds.
BY daylight this Saturday morning, the
rise from Chapman s creek had reached this
place. Sanderson's farm and part of HOus-
es' was one sheet Of water, and the bottom
east of town was all under. That east of
town gradually Increased in breadth all fore
noon. but the water in the Republican be-
gan TO fall. The Southern Branch Railroad
track is all under water. Houses and house,
hold effects and every movable thing, came
with the torrent down the Smoky.
A. w. Callen lost thirty-six head of hOr-
SEES in the Republican bottom.
The most remarkable feature of the whole
disaster is the present apparent security of
the bridges i'm this vicinity. The Smoky
Hill bridge. and the County bridge across
the same stream, are supposed to be shabby
structures The Southern Branch Railroad
bridge and the Republican river bridge are
superb specimens of workmanship. The
Smoky Hin bridge is foot under water,
yet it stands majestically. The County
bridge stands defiantly. The Southern
Branch Railroad bridge is anchored with
railroad iron, the Kansas Pacific bridge with
stone; the Republican bridge is beyond dam
ger.
For miles up the Smoky the Kansas Pa
cific track is submerged and destroyed. The
wires are down on all sides. and there is no
rail communication, neither with the East
or with the West.
This is the greatest flood ever known.
The Smoky Hill is ten feet higher than it
was in 1898.
One O'CLOCK p. MA gentleman Just ar
rived from Chapnan's creek reports that
stream slowly rising all forenoon, and that
it was raining quite hard there. Our Smo-
Ky Hill bridges may go yet.
