Topeka. Kan, June The water in
the Kansas river has gone down at 8
O'Clock. and is Calling al the rate OF
half an inch an hour. From Manhat-
tan comes the report that the water
there is slowly falling. At Wamego the
same condition prevails, and IL is now
reasonably certain that the waters viii
steadily reCede. It is now admitted
that the number OF dead is not know n.
Reports have been exaggerated.
In the excitement all sorts OF rumors
have come ia. Men have seen persons
fall into the water aud take II for
granted that those persons were
drowned. often the persons concerned
are seen later. They tell OF a thrilling
experience. but are not always taken
from the lists of dead. Some are still
missing. IL may be days before "a
Trustworthy list is made. II Is now
thought that not more than twenty on
twenty five are dead.
