NO END OF SPEAKERS.
Old Soldiers viii Hear Many Celebri-
ties at the Reunion.

The Topeka committee which has in
charge the arrangements for the state
G. A. r. reunion here the latter part of
September held a meeting last night
at department headquarters to discuss
the speakers and to decide who should
be invited.
The committee adjourned to meet
Wednesday night when special bust
ness will be transacted
Governor Roosevelt of New York has
notified the committee that if the To-
peka dates do not conflict with reunion
dates in his own state he will be pres
ent at the Topeka reunion.
The committee is making an effort
to have President Mckinley present
but the members of the committee do
not believe he will be able to come
west at that time.
If the president can not attend the
reunion an effort will be made to have
him here when the Twentieth reaches
home 1t is safe to presume that the
president will be here on one occasion
a least this year.

Vited for the reunion:

turned and twisted about by heavy
logs and jams. but the people were res
cued by parties in skiffs.
-'On June 20 the water had reached
its highest point. and the next day be-
gan to fall, but the damage done seem
ed absolute and the ruin complete The
flood extended from blum to bluff, gen
orally, two miles. There was not an
acre of dry land in the river bottoms
from Kansas City to the mouth of the
river. The rains subsidized, and the river
fell rapidly. A few persons moved back
to their farms in what was then very
sparsely settled region, and, although
it was impossible to do any farming
until the latter part of July, it is rel-
ably reported that enough corn was
raised that season for the people in
many places to subsist on.
Where Kansas City now stands the
food was about three miles wide. In
what is now known as the packing
house and wholesale district. where the
Union depot stands and all the switch
ing grounds are located, the water was
about ten feet deep. The flood extend
ed over the present site of ArmOurdale
and Argentine in Kansas, near the
mouth of the Kaw, but there were few
settlements at the junction of the Mis-
sissippi and kaw in those days. A de-
plOrable consequence OF the great flood
was the season of sickness which fol-
lowed and the high rate of mortality
It is said that it was impossible to find
a we'll person on account of the MAS
ma resulting from the Qecaylng AM
NAL and vegetable matter. Chills and
fever prevailed in their most malg-
nant form, followed in thes winter by
spinal meningitis, then called head
disease which proved very fatal An
important fact connected with this
flood was that steamboats, going up the
river found it as low as usual above
St. Joseph, Mo. All the tributaries Of
the Missouri, in the state of Missouri.
are believed to have overlooked their
banks in 1914 very extensively, al
though in that early day there was
scarcely anything to damage along the
erty.
The flood level at Kansas City was
determined and marked on a pier of
the Hannibal bridge when it was being
constructed by Mr.. Octave Chanute,
who was supervising engineer of con-
struction. The stage was obtained by
the collation. of eleven or twelve high
water marks, preserved by old set
tiers on both sides of the river. Mr..
Chanute states that there was practi-
cal agreement in the Well-authentt-
Gated marks. Some years after the
completion of the bridge, a few local
engineers expressed some doubt as to
the accuracy of the stage, claiming
that it was too high, but Mr.. Chanute,
who was then building a bridge across
the Missouri at Sibley, about thirty
miles east of Kansas City, found the
high-water marks at that place to cor
respond very closely with the estab-
lfshed mark at Kansas City, after al
lowing for the slope of the river. Mr.
Chanute tested all data worthy of con-
sideratiOn in his determination, so that
there is nothing upon which to base
doubt of its accuracy"

LABOR DAY.
Governor Stanley Issues His Procla-
nation For September 4th.

Governor Stanley issued a Labor Day
proclamation today in which he said
Whereas, By enactment of the state
legislature. the first Monday Of Sep
TENDER in each year has been set apart
as Labor Day, to be observed as
general holiday throughout the state;
and
Whereas, In our state, labor is the
basis and source of all our wealth, it is
proper that we should set apart one
day of each year for such observance
as shall keep us mindful of its dignity
and of the Importance of its well being.
In every department of industry in the
state today an unusual degree OF con-
tentment and prosperity abides. No
laborer is in unwilling idleness, and
from our busy and prosperous voca-
tions we should take one day for rec
reation and proper observance.
Now Therefore, 1, w E Stanley,
governor of the state of Kansas, do
hereby recommend that on Monday,
September 4, 1899, all places where Ia
Dor is employed within the state Of
Kansas. should be closed, that every
available opportunity may be given to
laborers who may wish to celebrate this
day which our law makers have dedica-
ted TO them
