Mississippi side.
THREE MEN DROWNED.
Harvey Klemmer and two sons, who
attempted to save some stock, were
overturned in their boat and drowned.
1t is also reported that Mrs John Mar
shall and son, who were alone in a
little hut two miles from the break,
were unable to escape and were
drowned. 1t is almost certain that
others are drowned.
The awful calamity so much dreaded
is at hand. The entire Mississippi side
is sure TO be inundated. The delta
country will be filled with water and
the extent of the damage will never be
definitely known.
Excitement runs high among the in
habitants living below the break, and
they are bending every energy to get
out of the reach of the water with
their belongings, Woe and desolation
are to reign in the fertile Mississippi
plantations along the river.

The Most Disastrous Break Yet.

BATON ROUGE, La, March 30.-The
break ten miles below Greenville, Miss,
is the most disastrous yet to occur
Thousands of feet of the levees' weak
ened and softened by the tremendous
onslaught of the high waters, are melt
ing away as IF they were sugar The
break last night was 1000 feet wide,
and the water is rushing into Missis-
sippi with frightful velocity The in
habitants are fleeing for their lives,
leaving all behind. Cattle, horses and
fowls are drowning. Houses are being
washed away like chaff.
This break was anticipated several
davs ago, but the inhabitants had taken
but little heed. Now they have lost
almost everything they possessed and
are glad to escape with their lives 1t
Is estimated that fully 1000 are al
ready homeless and at the mercy of
charity.

STATE UNIVERSITY APPROPRIATION.

The legislature has made great mistake in
cutting down the appropriation for the State
University to $4,000. 1t may be that the APP
preparation asked for was too large, but every
one knows that the sum allowed is insufficient
to properly conduct the university.
One of our solons remarked: 'Let those
professors take some of their own medicine.
They've been talking about the great purchas-
ing power of gold dollar; about how much
more dollar will buy now than it would few
years ago; so let them try it OIL"
That might do if the professors alone would
suffer, but the university would suffer with
them. For years, the State University has
been the pride of Kansas. 1t ranks high
among the educational institutions of the ma
ton. Let us keep it so. But we cannot do so
by cutting down the means to maintain it, We
must have the best of educators, and the only
way to get them is to pay them as much as
they can get elsewhere.
Another mistake is the fixing of tuition fee
of $40. There are young men who are work
ing their way through the university who are
unable to pay any tuition fee. This fee would
deprive many young man, or woman OF an
education.
We sincerely hope Governor Leedy will veto
this miserable mistake.

THE AGE-OF-CONSENT DISGRACE.

Some skunk in human form, who, by some
accident, got into the legislature, has introduced
bill to reduce the age of consent from IS to
IA years. Republican legislature undertook
the same thing several years ago, but, thanks to
the better element of the people of the state
who sent in hundreds of protests, the measure
though it had passed the senate, was killed in
the house.
The present legislature is supposed to be
reform legislature. The members were elected
to pass laws to give the people financial relief,
and not to fix up some scheme to keep lot of
lecherous scoundrels from receiving their just
deserts.
Out on such devilish work!

Give the people some relief from unjust tax
alton and robbery by corporations and stock

RESUBMISSION A REPUBLICAN SCHEME

Rev. Richard Wake, of Topeka, says the
Republicans in the Legislature are trying to get
the Populists into hole by getting them to re-
submit the prohibitory question, knowing full
we'll that it means death to any party that I'M
dertakes it, And so it should. There is no
more sense in resubmitting that question than
any other portion of our constitution. Sup
pose we get the reforms that the Populists are
working for; will we be obliged to resubmit
everv one of them because two or three Repub-
licans say they ought to have right to vote
on them? Strange, isn't it, that the few VIC
ious people have so much more right to be
heard than the many good people'
Petition after petition has been sent to To-
peka, containing the signatures OF the best
people of the state, saying, 1--WE don't want
resubmission," and yet, in the face OF all TINS,
few legislators say, ''The people want to vote
on this question again, and they have right
to do 500 Who said they did? Tell us what
people want to vote on it again, and why they
want to do so. Do you think they will be any
better satisfied after being again defeated than
they are now? Don't our legislators know
that all the whisky elements OF the world
would empty their slush fund on Kansas, and
the vote would be increased equal to the IN
crease in Ohio's vote for Mckinley!
i
souare vote, and the rest of country would at
tend to its own business, we would give our
law an increased majority, but any one with
lick OF sense knows that disorder would run
riot. -,

The Goulds to Lose the Cotton
 Belt.

The Memphis Commereial-Appeal says that it is stated on good authority that the Cotton Belt rail- way is soon to pass from the hands of the Goulds. It winds up an arti- cle as to the matter as follows;
 It seems that when the Cotton Belt was in hard financial lines, some time since, the holders of 51 per cent of the capital stock of the company made an arrangement with the Gould people by which the stock was to be pledged to Gould for a certain number of years, and in return he was to have the voting of the stock for that length of time and take care of the interest charges and fixed ex- penses of the Cotton Belt. Yester- day an official who was in position to know, and who for obvious reas- ons would not consent to the use of his name in this connection, inti- mated that the expiration of this contract was near at hand, but he would not give the exact date. He continued by stating that with the expiration of the contract it was more than likely that the manage ment of the two lines would be sep arated, as since the formation of the contract the Cotton Belt had inn proved so that it felt amply able to take care of it's own affairs without the aid of the Goulds and the dicta- ton consequent upon that.
