THOUSANDS OF ACRES
OF Corn and other Crops Under Water and Great
Loss Inevitable.

The Neosho valley, all the way
down to the State line, was visited on
Sunday last with the most terrific rain
that has fallen for years. At Emporia
the heavy wind that accompanied
the rain wrecked the new wing of the
State Normal and did other damage.
At many other places the wind did
great damage, but Allen county for
tunately escaped.
We did not escape the flood, how
ever. On Monday morning the river
was out of its banks on the west side.
All day Monday and Monday night
and Tuesday and Wednesday, in
spite of reports that it was falling at
other places, it kept stea dily rising
here. The Fair managers worked
herOically, night and day, building
levees to keep it out of the grounds.
But all their efforts proved fruitless,
The levees held all right, but at nine
O'Clock last night the mighty flood
poured over the highest places in the
bank, and soon the grounds were
swept by the resistless torrent.
The loss to the farmers along the
creek and river bottoms will be very
great. Thousands of acres of ripen-
ed grain that would have yielded
from so to 100 bushels per acre, are
now under water and will doubtless
be total loss. A great deal of hay
and wheat and live stock have also
been swept away. Such a food at
this season of the year is without pre-
cedent in our recollection, and is a
most deplorable calamity.
The Iola register., 1895-09-12

Probably the heaviest loss in this
county by reason of the flood will be
that of Mr. George Davis and Mr..
RObt. SHAPED who have 80 acres of
potatoes which have been under
water for three days. They were out
in boats all day Wednesday digging
them up by hand, but of course only
a very few can be saved. The field
would have yielded hot less than
5000 bushels, so the loss will be
heavy one.

ARTIFICIAL FLOWERS.

In the belief that there are few trades

Not only was the texture OF tho flower
