MISSOURI RIVER FALLING
People in LOwlRnds at Kansas City
Are StilI Suffering, However,,
and Are Driven from Home.

KANSAS CITY, July 1.-THE Missouri
riv r is falling tonight, despite the
volume of water poured out by the Kansas
river. People in the lowlands have been
driven from their homes, cornields have
been inundated and water stands in the
streets Of Armourdale, where the packing
houses are pumping water from their floors.
But the financial loss has been small and
no life has been lost. II clear weather con-
tinues the Kansas river will probably begin
to fall tomorrow.
Specials from Manhattan, Kan, say the
water is twelve feet deep on the Union Pa
cifc tracks there tonight, the Blue river
being twenty-five feet above low water
mark. William D.. Hickey, a soldier in the
Eighth cavalry at Fort Riley, was drowned
there tonight
The Kansas river at Topeka has been
steadily rising, and has now reached its
highest point. The gauge shows over If
teen feet higher than low water mark. A
number Of families have been obliged to
leave their houses. The water has over
flowed several hundred acres Of corn north
Of Topeka and will damage It considerably.
The Santa Fe has been having trouble
with trains between Topeka and Kansas
City. Som of the track is under water,
but 1t is passable at a low rate Of speed.
LAWRENCE, Kan, July 1.-THE Kaw
river broke through It's banks at Lakeview,
and hunting and fishing resort near here,
today, filling the lake rapidly and overflow
ing The surrounding country. The river
continues to rise and a large force of Union
Pacific railroad hands is kept busy prevent
ing the high water from breaking through
into the old river channel north of Law
renee and washing out the railroad. tracks.

COAL DEALERS IN SESSION
ITbirty of Largest Firms in New York
Hold Meeting Behind
-|a Closed Doors.


NEW YORK. July 11.-About thirty OF
the largest firms that ship soft coal from
the port. Of New York, not a few of them
operators OF bituminous mines, we're rep
resented at an informal meeting held today
.At the office of the Empire Coal Mining
company. George d. Harris cf George
Harris & Co, presided, The meeting was
held, behind closed doors and a great deal
of secrecy was observed. At the close of
the proceedings the following statement
was given out by James Kerr Of the Beach
Creek Coal and Coke company:
"In view Of the national convention Of
bituminpus miners which has been called
for July II those operators who are large
shippers to New York harhor held an in
formal conference today to discover II pos
able how much coal was on hand and
whether the stock was SUFFICIENT to take
care Of the present requirements and what
the effect would be in the event Of a gem
eral suspension being ordered. The con-
sensus Of opinion was that the stock In
sight was rather slight and that the mar
ket demand would continue to increase as
the possibility OF the miners action came
more into view, and that the consumers
of ceal were without, large stocks on hand
and under those circumstances would be
likely to increase their requirements and
that the trade would be rather brisk for
the next few weeks"
Mr.. Kerr added that while the shippers
OF soft coal were hoping that a general
suspension of work in the bituminous re-
gion might be ayerted. they we're keenly
alive to- the possibility of: heroic action
being taken at the convention of the United
Mine Workers, ,t tr o..
While / do not believe that under ordi-
nary circumstances hat work would be
stopped everywhere" continued Mr.. Kerr,
"tho orders to suspend, II such were issued
as a result of the convention, would surely
be opened to an extent that would serl-
ously cripple the industries OF the country
and put both shippers and consumers in a
holes"s The orders for partial suspension
while not universally Needed, we're pretty
generally enforced. That goes to show
what we might have to expect.
I'm this port, which is the largest center
Of distribution in the western hemiphere,
such a calamity would fall with its full
force"

A Poisonous Drug stin Freely Used


Many people are brought up to believe
that coffee is a necessity Of life. and the
strong hold that the drug has on the sys-
tenn makes It hard to loosen its grip even
when one realizes its injurious effects.
A lady in Baraboo writes: Il had used
coffee for years; It seemed one Of the necss-
stiles OF life. A few months ago, my
health, which had been slowly failing, be-
came more impaired, and / knew that un-
coon be a physical wreck. / was weak and
nervous, had such sick headaches, no am
bition, and felt tired Of life. My husband
was also losing his health. He was trouble
so much with indigestion that at times he
could eat only a few mouthfuls Of dry
bread.
I'VE concluded that coffee was slowly
poisoning US and stopped 1t and used hot
water. We felt somewhat better, but Il
wasn't satisfactory. Finally, we saw Pos
tum Coffee advertised. and bought a pack

after Il came to the boiling point, and added

A WASTE OF MONEY
IN FRUlTLESS EFFORTS TO CURE
STOMACH TROUBLE.
Digestion is. what IL Needed-How
This May be Obtained.

More money Is spent experimenting with
worthless medicines for stomach trouble
than for any other disease. These prepa-
rations may temporarily aid digestion but
they cannot cure indigestion. They so at
1t the wrong way. tr e. -lp. De-
To permanently cure indigestion, dyspep-
STA or other stomach trouble the medicine
should act upon the digestive organs them
selves-not upon their contents. II should
not do the stomech's work but should
make the stomach able TO do its own work.
This Is what DIR. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People will do as no other medicine
can. They are not composed of digestive
ferments, which promote an artificial di-
g~estion, but they tone up the stomach, re-
stone the weakened functions of the diges-
tive organs and thereby promote natural
digestion. A case in point is that Of Ar
thur Mclaughlin, Of No. s72s North Lin
coin street, Chicago, ILL., He says:
For a long time was troubled with
severe pains in the stomach-a case of
chronic indigestion. l would feel q crav-
ing for food, but when l ate l experienced
those wfetehed pains which nearly drove
me distracted. Ny kidasys also became at
fected. l tried several different stomach
medicines and for a while they seemed to
help me. Then the SAM old pains would
come back. This went on for nearly two
years, and at times l was pretty much dis

did so. Before / finished a box the pains
were less frequent and less severe, and by
the time Il had finished three boxes the
pains were a thing OF the past. Now

like a new man."
DIR. Williams Pink pills for Pale People
will not only cure stomach trouble but are
a positive cure for all diseases. arising
from impoverished blood or shattered
nerves. They. are sold by all dealers or

ON THE CONVENTION
For First Time Since Mine Workers
Decided to Meet President Nit
.chen Discusses Matter.

WILKBSBARRE. Pa, July i1.-For the
hrst time since the mine workers decided
to hold a special convention President
Mitchell today consented to say something
for publication about the gathering. He
said it was utterly impossible to forecast
the action of the convention. From his re-
marks 1t is almost certain the convention
will do one Of either two things, either de-
eide on a general suspension or provide a
defense fund for the anthracite strikers. In
an interview with a correspondent OF the
Associated Press President Mitchell said
that no person could with any certainty
predict the outcome OF the national con-
vention which will convene at Indianapo-
lis next Thursday.
Il feel certain" he said, that in the
event Of 1t being inadvisable to ~inaugurate
a national strike, provisions will be made
TO contribute ample funds to carry the
strike on to certain victory. The sym
pathy Of the entire labor world is with the
anthracite miners and from all sections
Of the country we are receiving assurances
OF financial and moral support, These
earners alone. Many men and women
have offered financial assistance to the
struggling miners. and l feel confident
that the strike viii prove a success, re-
gardiess Of whether a national strike takes

J. Ridgway Wright of this city, the
leader Of the Citizens alliance. which was
recently organized In this vicinity. today
sent an open letter to President Mitchell.
In which he calls the latter's attention
to alleged intimidAtions. boycotting and
other annoyances praeticed on all persons
who are working In the mines. He pays
