The Missouri River Falling Rapidly and No
Further Damage Anticipated.


KANSAS CITY, June 30.-1he flood in the
Missouri River reached the highest stage at

which was flooded yesterday, is still under
water, but no further damage has been
done. Parts of Kansas City, Kans, are
SUI submerged by backwater and the kaw
but only the houses Of squatters on the low
lands have been badly damaged. The
various Industries IN the bottoms have been
seriously InconVenIenced.

The house and was iost.with it, Two other
families living on the point also sought
safety on the main land yesterday, leaving
behind all their possessions, including 100
head of stock that will perish if the river

swift for them 10 swim ashore. The neck
across which the water flows is about $50
yards wide and the stream is about 100

his catching hold of Anderson and taking
him down with him. This the plucky
