THE RAGING RIVERS.
Both Missouri and Kansas Now the
Subject of the Storm King.
THE BIG MUDDY is ON A RAMPAGE.
A Summer Resort Threatened With the
Loss of Its Little Lake.
ATCHISON DWELLINGS SWEPT AWAY

KANSAS CITY, June 3O.-The flood in the
Missouri river reached the highest stage at
o'clock The water is now falling and all
apprehension of further damage is dispelled.
Harlcu, the village across the river which
was flooded yesterday, is still under water,
but no further damage has been done.
Parts of Kansas City, Kan, arc still sub
merged bv the backwater Of the Kaw, but
ONLY the houses of squatters on the low
lands have been badly damaged. Various
industries in the lowlands have been seri-
GU " inconvenienced. The Badger Lumber
Company's yards are flooded: The water
has inundated the hog yards of the hingan
Packing Company and the Phpnix packing
house. Swift Co.'S arctic room is flooded,
and some other departments are inundated.
At Atchison the house of Pleasant Littlo
went into the river with its contents yestcr
day afternoon. The house was occupied by
John Mcqueen and his family, a Mr.. Little
boarding with them. They had vacated the
house about two hours before it fell, taking
refuge on the main land. This morning the
house was found lodged on one OF the Gov
crnment dykes at Atchlson- Little es-
capped from the Point with McQueens
family, but he has not been seen since, and
II is feared that he returned to the house
and WAS lost with it.
The two other families living on the point,
Mrs. VI. J. Parl>ers and Jacob keechs, also
sought safety on the main land yesterday.
They left behind all their possessions, in
Cluding about 400 head of stock that will
perish if the river carries away the point
The neck across which the water flows is
about $50 yards wide, and thr stream is
about 100 Yards wide Around the island
thus formed Ct is seven miles. The current
across the neck is about four feet deep. The
current has not yet cut through the
"gmnbo." As long as this tough crust
stands the point is safe, but should the cur
rent cut through the alluvial soil below it
would be only a matter of q few hours until
the great volume of the river would be pass
ing through q new channel.
Between Atchison and Rushville the Han
nibal & St. Joseph and Kansas City, st.
Joseph and Council Bluffs tracks are cov-
cred in sey eral places. The Hannibal track
IS not safe, and the Kansas City people will
have to abandon the cars If the situation
grows any worse. Between Rushville and
the river not less than 25 farm houses are
g.. surrounded by water, and farmers are out in
boats trying to rescue shocks of wheat that
are still above water.
At st. Joseph the river is stationary. The
water has Overflowed the lowlands about
lake Contrary, and that body of water is
now part of the great flood. Fears are ex-
pressed that as the water recedes a channel
will be cut, draining the lake leaving, hotels
and lighthouses surrounding an unsightly
mud hole.
