Though the artillery ceased firing DUR

Topeka, Kan, June 4.-The Kansas

Commercial club will accept all Of

GOV. Bailey has issued a ]proclama-
ton calling for help and asking that
contributions be sent to William Sims,
treasurer. The general relief fund
has passed $14, 900. The Elks' relief
fund has passed S $4,000. The fund in
the hands of the governor now
amounts to $4,000.
May Call Extra Session.
The governor may call an extra ses-
sion to provide state relief for all suf-
ferers from floods in Kansas. Gov.
Bailey hopes his appeal for help will
bring enough money to meet the emer-
gency. If it fails, he said. he probably
would ask members of the legislature
to come here for d day without eX-
pense to the state and make the neces-
sary appropriations.
All who are held in buildings in
North Topeka are safe and comforta-
BILE. No one in flooded district is in
danger. All homeless are being well
cared for.

amount of damage done by the food
in Topeka and vicinity. The damage
may reach 50, 0 10000. 1t may go be-
You'd hat and it may be much less.
Crops in the Kansas bottom are de-
stroyed, This makes an enormous
loss to farmers.
North Topeka n Total Wreck.
North Topeka is a total wreck.
There is a town there-.-the plaything
of the elements, which seem to have
worried it until they are tired and
then left it stranded. The wateris still
over a greater part of the town. In
the residence districts it is seven feet
deep in most places and there is con
siderable current. The business part
of the town is a sorry looking place,
The damage OF the waters being almost
complete. The fronts of most of the
stores have openings broken through.
The contents of many are ruined. The
currents came rushing through with
such force that they upset counters
and boxes and whatever came in their
way and draggedthe goods'stored high
on the shelves into the water. In near
ly every building which was not
washed away the contents are piled
on the side furthermost down stream
and over all there is a slime of fine sand
mixed with a little mud. This deposit
varies from a few inches to two or
three feet and is over everything. In
the residence districts practically the
same sights present themselves.
From Manhattan. Abilene. Salina,
Florence, Lincoln, Center and Hutch
lnson come reports that the water has
about spent its force and that the
towns are slowly recovering.
