OFF FOR TOPEKA.

The Republican state convention con-
venes in Topeka on Wednesday. It will
be the most numsrously attended repre-
sentative political gathering ever seen in
the state. Besides the twenty delegates
who will go up from here, number of
others who are enthusiastic for Wichita's
candidate for congressman. at large Will
be on hand to do whatever lies in their
power to enhance the chances of George
l.. Douglass. In addition, no doubt. others
will go on general principles. The fare is
one fare for the round trip by any OF the
three roads over which Topeka can be
reached from Wichita. Douglass Will go
into the convention with support from
every section and portion of the state, but
far in the lead in the western twO-thirds
of the state. What political trades or
combinations may be entered into by can
didates for positions on the state ticket
and their friends would be impossible to
anticipate, for every one of them will have
his scheme, so as there is wisdom in a
multitude of counsel il might be well for
strong and level headed lobby to go up
from Wichita.

COLORADO FLOODS.
AppIesate Returns and Tells All About Their

Applesate Returns and Tells All About Them.
last night where he has been attending the
convention of railroad telegraphers. He
reports a good time at the convention and
terrible state of affairs in Colorado, re-
sulting from the damaging floods and tho
miners strike. He left on the first train
out of Colorado Springs in five days.
He was in Denver, Colorado Springs,
Manitou and Pueblo. In Colorado Springs
he says there are guards parsding the
streets and questioning everyone who en-
tiers the city. This is done as q caution.
There is . fear that the striking miners
might attempt to como 20 the city in a
body and kidDap some OF the mine owners
carry them to the mountains and hold
them there as hostages till the rest or
the families OF the ones captured agree to
the strikers terms.
Governor Waite said he is daily ex-
pected in Colorado Springs but is unable
to reach there on account OF washouts.
He is to try and make terms with che mine
owners. These owners say that he will
get them to concede nothing.
Pueblo, Denver and Manitou, said Mr..
Apologize, are literally, washed away by
the high waters, all railroads are block
AIDED and business is paralyzed. The
Mauitou, the small stream from the
springs which runs through the town, is q
torrent and what were iron and soda
springs are entirely swept away.
In Pueblo 1t is worse. 1t all happened
on Decoration day when tho clerks had
left the stores. Tho water rushed down
the mountain carrying with it the refuse
OF the mines. One miners shanty would
be caught up by the food and hurled
against others, which would likewise carry
others down the stream. A horse can
swim in the business streets, and one-half
of the business portion of the town is COM
pietely ruined.
Some stores had the water run off the
streets into the Easements and cellars till
the foundations gave way and the whole
inside of the building collapsed running
hundred of thousands of dollars worth Of
goods.
1.-The water" said be. ''is coming down
the Arkansas at "A good rate. We passed
it at Dodge City and what is left from be-
ing absorbed by the dry sand will reach
Wichita about Sunday afternoon. You
can tell it by its red appearance"

The farmers all along the little river
who. in reality, started the first agitation
against the theft of that stream by New.
ton and the Santa Fe railway, are organ
izing lusty band of yeomen to lead in
the fight. About twenty five of them had
a preliminary meeting in this city yester-
day headed by Cap Thompson, and they
took some iuitiatory steps to push the
war. 1t is understood, although their
meeting was secret, that the weapon they
intend to employ is the boycott, and that
they expect to get 800 men who will sign
pledge TO use it with effect and never to
case until they are successful. They ex-
pect to carry this fight into the very
hearthstoDes of the enemy, for such they
consider them.
The farmers say that the river is
the gift of nature and that no one
has the right TO steal it from them for
private or corporation gain. They say
that divertiBg the water, while il would
be OF some Value to Newton
and the Santa Fe road, would
injure the lands adjacent to its course hun
dreds of thousands of dollars more than it
would benefit the other fellows. The water
is not only Necessary tor stock on the ad-
Joining farms, but 1t Is also necessary to
maintain the moist ure of the country, for
81 is well known that a stream of water
has an enormous influence on the soil for
miles away, not only through seepage but
atmospherssally rs well. 1t is estimated
that this influence extends to distance of
eight miles on cit her side of the river and
when this is considered IL can be seen that
the divertiDg OF the water thirty miles or
more above Wichita would affect large
number OF people. This is well illustrated
by the diverting of the Big river for irriga-
ton purposes up in Colorado. 1t takes no
argument to show the farmers that the
turning off OF the water of the Big river in
Colorado drove so many of their comrades
out or western Kansas that portions of il
are we'll nigh deserted.
Another meeting will be held at one of
the school houses in the north part of the
county next Saturday for recruiting pur-
poses and at which some practical farm
Prs who understand the value of the river,
will speak.
The la est report is that the Santa Fe
threatens to take away division head
quarters from here if the city persists in
lighting the movement to divert the
water towards Newton. This, it is said,
Will take some twelve or fifteen families
away from Wichita. One city dad said
yesterday: "We don't want to drive any
body out of Wichita, but | am here 10
state that if people are driven out they
will be driven out alive and not dead Ii
the water OF the Little river was diverted
at Newton our sewer system would be
ruined, disease would set in and more
people would be taken unnecessarily out
TO the cemetery on the hill every year than
we would lose if The Santa Fe company
put its threat into execution. LII people
must leave Wichita, /, for one, would
sooner see them going alive than dead"

The rivers dry seem to be equally both
ersome to the city as when they were wet
and the big spring floods rolled down
through the channels and over thei- banks
At present tie city fathers are exercised
over the encroachnepts Swartx Brothers
are making on the Big river south Of the
Douglas avenue bridge.
About u year ago Swartz Brothers got
permission to get sand out of the river and
short time afterwards one of them sug-
gested to Mayor Cox that she east span
could be taken out Of the Douglas avenue
bridge. The county commissioners were
seen, and it is alleged that the bargain
was to give the span referred to, to the
city to be used on the Central avenue
bridge. provided the city would ill up the
space where il was taken out with an APP
proach. About that time the jasperite
pavement was taken up and it made y
fine approach to the bridge. The span the
city WAS TO get was not given them aud
nothing further has been heard from it.
When the span was removed the road
that was built threw the channel of the
river westward about 100 feet,
and the old channel became made
ground. Swnrtz brothers then went to
work about 100 feet west of this made
ground and erected little dams O. levees
and threw the channel that much farther
west leaving lot more of made ground.
Some OF the city fathers about this time
came to the conclusion that Swartz BROTH
ers were not in this beautiful country for
their health alone and began investiga-
tious. They allege that they have found
that the father-in-law of one Of the BROTH
ers had purchased some time before the
strip Of land next to the river and which
is described as running from a certain
point to the river. Accordind to that de-
scription the gentleman whose daughter
married Mr.. Swartz would have about
thirty acres of ground instead Of q few
hundred feet.
At one time the boundary OF the river
was established, but the chart which con-
tanned the meets aud bouas has disap-
peared aud cannot be found.
During the week the city clerk served
notice on Swartz brothers to cease the
work OF diverting the stream at once.
Frank SwartZ went to Mayor Cox TO ex-
postulate and told him that tho object Of
converting the river into ground was to
give it to contemplated railway for ter
minal purposes. That excuse didn't 60
with the mayor for he had no knowledge
Of the formation OF any such company or
any other tangible evidence that it exists.
One of the Swartz brothers was seen last
night by a reporter for the EAGLE and he
said their whole design in making EN-
0ankments on the river was TO facilitate
the work of getting SAND out of it.
The general opinion Is that there Is .
descendant of Ham in the woodpile.
