FLOODS AT DENVER.
tn. Platte River mandates the Suburban
Districts.

Ol8tftOtk
Denver, June 3.-That portion Of
Denver known as jerome Park is In
great danger Of flood more disas.
tro,is to PROPERTY than the one that
took place year ago. The river
Platte Is steadily rising and at noon
began to overflow Its banks Just above
Rio Grande Avenue. Since O'CLOCK
the water has risen at least one foot
and the flood is increasing ut the rate
OF one inch an hour.
Many Of the people living on RIO
Grande Avenue, Rochester, Millison,
San Francisco and Weir streets are
moving out their effects, but 1t is not
likely that more than the first floors OF
the houses will be deluged.
The first break In the Platte occurred
about II o'clock about one hundred
yards above Rio Grande Avenue. Az
this point the banks have been pushed
little by little into the bed of the
stream, and not enough space has been
allowed the stream when 1t becomes
active. BY noon Millison Street was
inundated, and some fear was ex'
pressed that the grounds Of the Gar
field School would be turned into a
lake. The principal Is closely watch
Ing the rising waters and Will dismiss
the children II the danger increases.
The water has driven two families
out Of their homes ut the corner of Rio
Gnnde Avenue and Milllson Street.
At this point the water is foot deep.
The lower mill ditch broke through
the west bank on Holden Street but u
force Of men by throwing logs In tho
breach prevented any great damage
being done.
Wild rumors prevail In Jerome Park
that the flood Is due to a cloud-burst,
and that the high waters have not
reached them yet.

Representative Fitzgerald OF Ford
county, Kansas, looks for marvellous 70.
suits from the Irrigation experiment.
now In progress In western Kansas. He
saws the legislative appropriation Of $780,.
900 will be of great value In the devel-
opment of the undernow, but that the
experiments inagurated by private en-
fcrprlse will be more far-reaching and
even more practical In their benefits.
The people are resorting to all manner
Of machinery to pump water to the sur.
face, and natural gravity does the rest.
Everywhere in western Kansas the wind
has been arnessed-windmills OF prim-
tive form, horizontal, vertical Or verti.
sal geared. Steam pumps, gas engines.
hydraulic rams, pumps driven by animal
power; In fact, all the known devices for
lifting water are now having experiment
tal tests, and from these valuable data
Of the comparative cost and efficiency
Of these different motors will be OBJ
talned.
Mr.. Fitzgerald believes that the legis-
tative appropriation has stimulated pri-
vate enterprise to greater activity, has
proved to the settlers that the people Oh
The eastern part Of the state are IN SYM
pathy with them, and they Will help
them to make the western half OF the
state fertile and fruitful, and the ex-
detrimental stations will be schools OF In
vtruction.
w. b. Sutton, secretary Of the state
Irrigation commission, believes that the
Legislature In granting the appropria-
ton OF $4,000, little as 1t Is, has made
beginning that will result in the re-
llemption of the Western plains OF the
state.
1.-THE Legislature has done the right
thing" he said. I'VE are now going to
subdue that country out there, mike 1t
blossom and bear fruit. 1t has been
demonstrated scientifically that n great
body of pure. soft water underlles q
very large portion of the westerly half
of the state, bounded on the north BY
Nebraska, on the west by Colorado, on
the south by Oklahoma and on the east
by an irregular line about the ninety
ninth meridian. This body Of water has
Of late years been known as the under
flow. Its quantity is practically mex.
haustlble. Between the easterly limo Of
this undcrtlow and the ninety-elghth
meridian the rainfall Is greater than

PuEsLo's MUNICIPAL WAR.
Struggle Betwecn tho Mayor md City
Council Continues.

Pueblo, Colo. June 4.-Thc war be-
tween the mayor and city council over
the mayors police appointments con-
tlnucs. The police committee which
investigated the case of the suspended
policemen made Its report last night.
They reported that the time for which
they We're appointed having expired
was the only charge brought by the
mayor. Upon this point the minority
and majority reports OF the committee
ngrced. The former report recommend
ed that MS this was not sufficient cause
for their suspension by the mayor that
the officers be reinstated. The latter
report recommended that as this was
sufficient cause for their suspension
that the new appoIntces to fill the va
cancles be confirmed. A resolution to
reinstate the suspended officers was
then introduced and passed. Here the
matter rests for the present. What
new turn may be taken by the mayor
remains to be seen but indications are
that 1t will be an all summers fight.

HOT IN NEW YORK.
Twenty Five People Died from the Enscts
Of the Excessive Heal.

OF tho Excessive Hea'.
New York. June IA cool easterly
breeze sprung up shortly after three
o'clock this evening, and 1t Is hoped, put
an end to hot weather Notwithstanding
days, for season at least. For five
days the thermometer has ranged from
10 to % above zero. Ambulance bells
have rung and surgeons have been kept
busy attending persons who have been
oyerheated
Not only have the records been broken
for the thirtieth and ihirty-iirst OF May,
and the first three days OF June. but this
Is a grand total OF five record-breakins
days In succession. Never before In the
history OF the local weather department
has anything of this nature occurred.
II is safe TO say Mt least twenty-five
people have died during the past five
days as Il result OF the heat. and that
over 100 have been Frustrated and taken
10 the different hospitals OF the city.
The nearest to to-day's heat was Juno
3. 1854. when the thermometer regis
tired 81 degrees.
The death list for today Is one OF tho
largest OH record. Thus far ten people
have been carried or the streets dead,
and eleven more are In a prccarious con-
dltlon.

Poole said Thursday, concerning the
re port that Gen. Harrison had said to
Joseph l. Sayles and himself that he
would under no circumstances be a
candidate for the presidency:
THE report is made absolutely out OF whole
cloth. Mr.. Harrison never spoke or even
limited at such matter. The truth is that he
did not speak upon the matter directly or in
directly. You cannot say too strongly that not
one word was said by Mr.. Harrison that could
be construed into an allusion in any way to his
position in regard to his possible candidacy for
the presidency

fishing grounds are just inside the

the securing of good catches by the
Yankee fishermen q lively and inter-
