sever than at first reported. On sew
cral railroads, trains have been delay
ed for hours and on some OF them traf-
fic cannot be resumed for another "a
hours. At Independence six inches Of
water fell in less than an hour. Streams
are all running rapidly and great dam
age is anticipated. The town Of Grid
ley. in Coffey county, was struck by a
cyclone late yesterday afternoon, caus-
ing much damage to property. Some
Of the best business blocks and resi-
dences are reported wrecked and sew
eral people reported injured. Tele-
graphic communication is cut of and
details unobtainable at present.
At Fredonia the storm was the heav-
lest ever known there. Fully ten in
ches of water fell, overlooking the
river, flooding bottoms and washing
out railroad tracks. The fair grounds
are from two to wour feet under water.
The Frisco and Missouri Pacific trains
are water-bound outside the city.
The town of Neosho Rapids, near En-
poria, suffered severely, as did the LAT
ter named town. Five business
houses at Neosho Rapids were destroy
ed and a number Of dwelling houses car
ried away. The Neosho river is high
er than for years.
At Fort Scott the lower part of the
city is submerged by waters from the
Marmaton river and Mill creek, which
are out of their banks. The water is
rising with alarming rapidity. All
train are tied up and Geographic COM
munication with the north and souhth
cut off.
Thousands Of rabbits and small game
are congregated on portions of the Mis-
souri,, Kansas and Texas track above
high water mark, and many are run
over by the cars while others take to
the water. The railroad track is under
water at places never before known.
So far as can be learned the only
casualty occurred in Hartford, where
Mrs. Elizabeth Henry was badly in
jured by the blowing down Of house
she was in.
Yates Center. Kan, Sept. 9.During
the terrible storm which prevailed in
this section Sunday night Miss Riley,
living near PiQua, was killed by lightn-
ing. A house was struck in this city
and five persons badly injured. At
Vernon, in this county, three persons
were stunned by bolt. The storm
was the severest that has visited Wood
son county in twenty years.
Pittsburg, Kan, Sept. 9.-Never have
such rains been known here as have
fallen for the last three days. The
whole country is flooded and the tracks
of all railroads leading into the city
are washed away and trains delayed.
The Kansas City, Pittsburg and Gulf
road is probably the worst sufferer.
OVER IN MISSOURI
Webb City, Mo-, Sept. 9.-Last night
rain poured down for hours until many
people took refuge on second floors.
The streets were sheets of water. Base

prevailed. A careful estimate shows
the damage to be from $4,000 to $780,

Indianapolis, Sep. 9.-Lon Rocker,
an iron moulder, murdered his wife to-
day by cutting her throat. He also
attempted to kill Mrs. Emma PEGS, of
70 Rhode Island street, slashing her
about the head and face with a razor,
making wounds from which il is be-
lieved she will not recover. Mrs, PEGS
ran screa ming into the street covered
with blood. She presented a terrible ap-
pearance and a crowd OF excited peo-
pie quickly gathered. Rocker made
an attempt TO escape and stepped to
the front door with the bloody razor
in his hands. Seeing that it would be
Impossible to do SO on account of the

by number of people. The blood spur

Mrs. Rocker, after receiving the ter

from the scene of the tragedy. After
taking few steps she fell and died in
a few minutes. Rocker and Mrs PEGS
had in the meantime been taken to the
hospital and the doctors believe that
both are fatally injured. Jealousy was
the cause of the crime. Rocker believ-

he resolved to kill her. The crime was
premeditated and he lay in wait all the

darkness and gloom. Across Rock creek,
In Georgetown, however, the state of af
fairs was Numerically different, for there
shouts resounded, bells rang and all ap-
peared joyous and gay. The explanation
Is simple. A board of army officers, con-
sisting of Capt. Chase, Capt French and
Lieut.. Whitney. had declared company H,
the organization from the Western, to be
the best drilled company of the regiment.
as demonstrated in the annual company
competition Of the High School Cadets.
The decision resulted In inexpressible dis
appointment to eight companies and unre-
strained happiness to the other.
Since September last, upon the annual re-

has been looking forward to the friendly
