Topeka, Kan, May 29.-The high water
at IL o'clock tonight has surrounded the
whole Of North Topeka and hundreds of
houses are deserted. People are moving
out from that part of town as fast as pos
sible and great distress prevails. At this
time nearly 5000 people are homeless.
1t will be necessary for every inhabitant
of the north side to leave their homes by
morning, and this will leave over 10000
people without homes.
The people south of the river are trying
hard to take care of the food refugees.
The court house, state house and other
buildings have been opened for their re-
ception and a fund started for their relief.
The water plant is being worked under
great difficulty, and it is feared that by
,U.norrow this will have to be abandoned.
Reports from Wamego and other points
on the river report a great volume of
water coming down this way. Wamego
reports rise of two feet in the Blue and
three feet In the Republican river. This
will reach Topeka by morning and the large
Melan bridge will have great difficulty in
holding its own.
For six hours today the flood plowed
like a river through Abilene, filling 200 cell
lars and driving 100 families to places of
refuge.
The Rock Island, Union Pacific and Santa
Fe tracks are washed away, two lumber
yards burned from the contact of lime with
water, and several buildings collapsed.

TAXES ON CARRIERS
American :: Express Company's in,
creased 100 Per Cent.

MADISON. WIS.-The state board
of assessment has levied the state
taxes on the property of sleeping car,
express, freight and equipment COM
panies operating in Wisconsin and
certified the same to the state treas
urer.- The taxes of the Pullman
Sleeping Car company were reduced
SO per cent over those of last year
and those of the American Express;
company increased 100 per cent, and
of the United States Express can-
pany SO per cent. There is not muc1r
change in the taxes Of the other com
pan1es. The rate of the tax levy is
.01158.
The state board on state deposi-
tories has decided to raise the rate of
interest of state money in banks from
2 to 21s per cent. Governor La Fol-
lette, who is a member of the board,
favored raising the rate to per cent,
but the other three members thought
an increase to 2A per cent would be
sufficient at this time. The banks
have been raising their interest rates
the last three months, and State
Treasurer KemDf called the atten-
ton of the state board of repositories
to the fact and recommended that the
state raise it's rate to 2h per cent.
F1fty-seven banks in different parts
of the state will be affected by the
raise, which will go into effect Jan. l.
The state now has over 81, 200, 900 on
deposit In these banks. The increase
in the rate of interest will bring the
state about $4,000 atyear more than
1T is receiving from this source at
present. s.: g.

NOT SUFFICIENT
Liquor Search Warrants Cannot Issue
+ upon "Information and Belief

:llQuOr search warrants eCannOI issue
:: upon Information and Belief
BISMARCK, N. =" D.-The decision
handed down by the supreme court
in the McGahey contempt case will
have the effect Of making states at
torneys more cautious In prosecutions
under the liquor laws of the state.
This was a case that attracted much
attention last winter, for the reason
that, while the legislature was in ses-
sion. several rooms in the basement
of the Northwest hotel were raided
and liquor seized. The seizure and
search were made under a search
warrant issued out Of the district
court upon the affidavit of States At
torney George M. Register, stating
that, upon his information and be-
lief the place was being maintained
as a nuisance under the prohibition
law.
Arthur E. McGahey, who was in
charge Of the rooms raided, resisted
Sheriff Welch in the seizure of the
"evidence" and was arrested on a
