port this theory. Anderson's statement
concerning the murderer'S four friends
whom he met after he landed in Seat
tie is conclusive. No doubt now remains
that Tracy is receiving assistance. With
this outside help Tracy's entrance to
the Gerrell's home becomes inexplain-
able. He was not hungry. Nothing that
he did or said at the house could ex-
cuse his carelessness. In fact the only
thing he did except talk to the three
women was to wash himself.
Again the fact that he sent a strange
boy down town to sell the watches and
buy revolvers, looks queer. In addition
to the watches, Tracy gave the young
man 50, every cent he had in his pos
session and when he took his depar-
ture the whole matter, lad, money,
watches and revolvers, seemed to have
slipped from his memory.

Kansas to Limon, Colorado, over the
Union Pacific railroad today.
1t was announced at the Rock Island
general offices here today that the Fair
bury line would be open some time dur
ing the afternoon and that the wash
out at Clifton would be repaired some
time late this afternoon.
The recent rains have caused all the
rivers in that section to rise and all the
railroads are having trouble with wash
outs.
The Rock Island is running plug
trains in both directions along the line
as far as each washout to take care of
the local business.
The Rock Island announces that the
lines will be repaired by tomorrow and
that all trains will then be running on
schedule time again. 1t is said that the
estimate of the loss occasioned by the
washouts on the Rock Island alone will
amount to several thousand dollars not
taking into account the annoyance.
The Union Pacific main line trains
have been delayed several hours today
on account of soft tracks. The main
line has been fortunate enough to escape
washouts, however. and the delays are
occasioned by the trains bing run slow
ly over the soft tracks in the rain
soaked sections. Washouts are report
ed on the branch lines in the northern
part of the state.

SECRETARY WILSON'S ADDRESS.
I'VE have adopted much in our sys-
TENS of educa ton from peoples who
have not our responsibilities, people who
educate men of leisure, passions class,
privilege, caste, birth and all that. The
people govern here. They should be ed
ucated with a view to their develop
ment along the lines of their life work,
whatever that may be.
What can be done for our producers
! that they may live on higher levels of
comfort and happiness, that they may
help the weary hand with a better
trained head, and have more time to
devote to intellectual, moral and spirit
ual life, is the previous question which
the educators of the great producing
states of our country are called upon to
answer.

WOrkmen Busy in Efforts to

At 2:3O p. m. the water gauge in the
Kansas river indicated IA feet SIX
inches. The river is six inches nlSher
than it was last week. 1t is believed
that the river has reached its greatest
height though no subsiding is perceptl-
BILE. The drift has all been cleared away
from the street car bridge.
At 12 o'clock today the Kansas river
has risen past the high water point
made last week. The gauge showed IA
feet and five inches of water, a rise OF
II inches since Wednesday afternoon at
2 o'clock and inches above the mark
reached last week.
The north end of the city park is un-
der water and the low lands next to the
river are inundated in many places. Inc
current is swift but there is very lit
tie drift wood coming down. The street
railway tracks to Oakland under the
Santa Fe bridge are under water ana
the Santa Fe switch tracks along the
river front on the south side are covered
by three feet of water
The river rose steadily during the
night at the rate of about an inch an
hour and this morning the rise cont1n-
ued. The same danger threatens as
last week A rise of a foot more will
feet is likely to cause considerable dam
age. At the Wolff packing plant pumps

the water stops it will surround the

to be run through the water to the

there.
The tracks on the street railway
bridge have been twisted until they

where the tracks are out of line, and
the large force of men at work has been
unable to make any great headway
clearing it away. The strain on the
bridge has been terrific and the pilfng
and upper work show the effects. This
morning there was very little drift COM
ing down but if the river continues to
rise the drift wood will increase and the
street car bridge will be in great dan
ger. Should the street car bridge be
carried out the bridge timbers and drift
wood would be piled against the Kan
sas avenue Melan arch bridge and that
structure would be greatly endangered.
AT II O'Clock today the water was
very nearly over the banks of the river
on the north side, opposite the pumping
station of the Topeka Water company,
and was seeping through the embank-
ment There is danger that the low
lands on the north side may be inunda-
ted. The banks of the river west of
town on the north side are much lower
than near the city and the water would
first overflow the banks there and cut
across the low country to Soldier creek.

TERMS REFUSED.
Freight Handlers Vote to Con.
tinue the Strike.

Chicago, July 10.-A large percentage of
the striking freight handlers this morning
voted to refuse the railroads terms pre-
sented last night and to continue. the
strike despite official refusals of the Chi
cago Federation of Labor to help them.
This action was taken by Polk Local
Union. consisting of men employed by
the Rock Island, Baltimore & Ohio, Lake
Shore, Nickel Plate, Great Western, Mo-
non and Chicago Terminal Transfer roads
and the Western Local, comprising men
in the warehouses of the Burlington. Chi
cago & Northwestern, ST. Paul, Fort
Wayne and the Chicago & Alton roads.
One thousand members were present at
the meeting. Meetings of the other two
locals, to which belong men of the remain
ing roads, were scheduled for $50 a. m.
President Curran of the Freight Hand
lers' union. advocated accepting the terms
offered by the railroads and returning to
work to await an opportunity to retaliate
upon the teamsters' union and the Chica-
go Federation of Labor. His proposition
was entirely lost in the excitement that
followed and by standing vote the strik-
ers not only decided to stay out but to
fight to the last ditch without seeking CO.

Five striking freight handlers were
arrested today in connection with the
alleged murder of John Landers. also a
striker. Landers is said to have been
killed during an excited argument over
the strike.
Following the meeting of Polk and
Western locals, delegation of 80 strik-
ers visited the Burlington yards and
persuaded all the teamsters delivering
or receiving freight except those OF
Marshall Field & Co., to drive away
with their work uncompleted. The del

AN APPROACH GOES.
Granville Bridge Is Damaged by High
Water.

The approach at the south end of the
Granville bridge across the Kansas river
was washed out early this morning.
County Commissioners Rain and Haines
made preparations to save it. Last night
the wooden approach was bound by an
inch and a half rope and the rope attach
ed to trees on the bank. The water form
ed an eddy around the piling under the
approach and the driftwood piled against
the woodwork. At five o'clock this morn
ing the water carried the approach away
but the rope Seld. The approach drifted
down stream the length of the rope and
then swung into the shore. The spans of
the bridge are not yet in danger.

COrnVille.

Mrs Rachel. widow of the late Rev.
Moses Grant, recently received the very
sad news OF the death of her grand daugh-
ter in Philadelphia. The young lady and
her mother visited Mrs. Grant in the
summer of 1890 and made the acquant-
ance of many of the people of this town,
with whom she was iavorite.
A Philadelphia paper contains the fol-
lowing in regard to her;
This community was shocked the
past week by the death of Miss E. Louisa
Grant of No. 7I26 Greenway avenue,
who died on Wednesday morning about
$50 o'clock, at the age of III years, neu-
ralgia of the heart causing death Miss
Grants death was exceedingly sudden,
from the fact that she was not i'll a single
day, but filled her duties as teacher in the
grammar department of the Paschal
schools the day before. BY her death the
community loses one of its most promis.
ing young ladies', who has resided here
all her life, and had gained many friends
and good repue as school teacher. In
her infancy Miss Grant was always seen
with smile, and as The years grew on
she was always ready to assist others,
though she was never considered strong.
AT the proper age she began her career in
the primary department of the Paschal
schools. and after graduating was elected
teacher of that school, and met with
great success for two and one-half years,
when, as above stated, the Angel Of
Death overlook her. She was great
favorite with every one, especially her
scholars, who since her death have shed
many tears
