Last Night.
TAX COMMISSIONER zoos PRESIDED
His Father Riddled Fagan's
Claims to a New Term
Voters Enthusiastic
cally Applauded.
TAX COMMISSIONER HOoS PRESIDED

The Third Ward Democratic Club
swung a magnificent campaign banner
last night at Third and Grove streets.
There were over thousand enthusiastic
voters present.
Tax Commissioner Robert Hoos presid-
ed at the meeting.
During the progress of the meeting and
while Former Mayor Hoos was making
an address, Faganite, who lived in the
immediate vicinity, stood upon stoop
and seriously interrupted Mr.. Hoos by
frantically yelling, "Hooray for Pagan"
A crowd of children attracted by the
crazy antics of the man set up a chorus
of shouts. Mr.. Hoos was making some
very telling points when this man began
to interrupt him. There was only one
policeman in the vicinity, and he was
busy keeping the crow doff the trolley
tracks
The interrupted speaker asked where
the police were, and declared it was a
shame that voters could not gather to
discuss in a proper manner the issues of
campaign. The police went for the
man who caused the disturbance later
on.
The former mayor, in the course of his
speech, said he had a perfect right to at
tack Mr.. Pagan, because he had been be-
lifting him in the matter of securing
financial consideration for the granting
sef trol@y franchises. Mr.. Hoos called
attention to the fact that he was the first
mayor to wrench from a street railway
corporation the payment of money to the
city for franchise, and that was for the
Grove street franchise, upon the tracks of
which the crowd was standing. Every
one in the crowd knew that this was true
and great cheer went up for the speak
er. Mr.. Hoos said that it was not fair
to rob him of that credit. He said he
had always considered that that act alone
was one of the best monuments of his
administration.
Discussing another subject the former
mayor said that when he first became
mayor he was confronted with a condit-
ion similar to that which confronted Mr..
Fagan's administration, with reference to
the pay of frenden. When he went into
Office he found that the Legislature had
passed bill changing the fire depart
ment from the old Buffalo system to that
of a paid department This meant that
$4,000 had to be raised for extra fire.
mems salaries. But he did not shirk the
responsibility. The $6o,oeo was placed
IN the tax levy, causing the tax rate to
go up thereby Now the Legislature he
said. has passed bill increasing the pay
pf fremen, but the Pagan administration
in spite of this law, refused to grant the
INCREASE because it wanted to keep the
= tax rate down for campaign purposes
He asked why the administration did NOT
face the music, and added that there was
no reason why men who risk lives to pro
tect peoples property while they slept
should not be well paid.
Mr.. Hoos made strong plea for the
election of Police Justice Murphy to the
Office of Mayor.

A. B. Rapfogel, clerk in the City Col

siderable time off from his clerical
duties.
The meeting under the auspices of this
so-called Republican Hebrew Republi-
can Club came off last night. Mayor
Fagan was there to address them.
In the small heterogeneous crowd that
gathered to receive him were found by
actual count seven Hebrew business men
and they declared that they came there
simply as friends of Mr.. Rapfogle, as
they understood their presence would
help him along.
When the club was organized the

other members, Messsrs H. Ruskin, Rob-

FLEE FROM THE FLOOD.
Five Thousand Illinois People Leave
Menaced Land for Safety.

The Sny levee, thirtyfive miles long
and protecting 100000 acres of land
along the Mississippi on the Illinois side,
is in danger and at least five thousand
people have left the loWlands or are pre-
pairing to leave.
Hundreds of acres of rich farming land
have been flooded by the breaking Of the
Green Bay bottom levee, south of Bur
hngton, Iowa, and below Warsaw, Ill,
train service has been cut off by the
breaking of the Hunt levee. All low
land in the vicinity is submerged.
In ST. Louis railroad tracks along the
river front are submerged and all roads
are seriously embarrassed. Passenger
traffic to Kansas City and the West and
Northwest is badly crippled.
At Carondelet (South st. Louis the
river is four miles wide, extending on the
Illinois side to the Mobile and Ohio
tracks, which alone serve as a protection
to thousands of acres of farm land. In
North st. Louis the stream is three miles
wide. No estimate of the damage done
can be given until the water subsidies.
Kansas floods are receding and the
cost is being counted up. Engineers who
have gone over the situation in Kansas
City estimate that the cost of rehabilita-
ton via range from $5,O0OO00 to $6,OOO,-
600. Unless great precaution is obserV-
ed a terrible epidemic of sickness may
follow the flood The whole terminal
system of the railroads in the bottoms
must be rebuilt. The bridges alone will
entail an expenditure of several mill
ions. Sewers are entirely washed out
and must be replaced, and complete
new pumping station must be constructed
on higher ground. AS the water sub
sides a slime-covered tract of land five
miles square is being disclosed, and it
hourly becomes more apparent that the
task confronting the two cities is a stu
| pendous one.
At the stockyards $500 hogs and 300
cattle were drowned.
The death list will be very much small
er than first estimated, as the early re-
ports sent out were greatly exaggerat'
ed because of inability to get communica-
ton with many of the stricken districts
| Armourdale and Argentina, suburbs OF
Kansas City, Kan, have issued appeals
for aid. Contributions for Argentine
will be received by DR.. D. E. Chopper
| Mayor, and for Armourdale by the Ar
mourdale State Bank of Commerce, Kan
sas State Bank or Home State Bank.
| Six bodies of unidentified food victim.
at North Topeka were picked up Thurs
day. Sanitary conditions there have beer
made worse by the breaking of sewers
| but no acute suffering is reported. Th'
| North Topeka death list is now seventy
| one, with thirty identified.

New Hotel Wrecked

lille House at Kilbourn was badly
wrecked by the explosion of a gasoline
light machine. Mrs. Hile was hurt and
William Brewer, a plumber, also. The
loss will probably exceed $4,000. The
building was a fine three story hotel,
newly built. The explosion took place
in the cellar under the dining room. The
floors over the cellar on the first floor
are all completely torn to pieces. The
floors on the second story and the walls
are all torn up. The side walls of the
building are bulged and thrown from
the supports. The glass fronts and win
dows are broken and the whole house is
wreck. The explosion was caused
by leakage in the gas lighting appara-
tus. William Brewer was in the cellar
filling the water tanks and inspecting the
apparatus and for some reason he must
have lighted match, when the whole
cellar was involved in the explosion of
the escaping gas Mrs. Hile was in
jured by the flying debris. The loss is
estimated at $4,000.

Fierce Forest Fires Devastate Vast
Areas of Land.
Forest fires, caused by the forty-nine
days drought, have enveloped the entire
eastern section Of the United States and
Canada in their grasp.
Thousands of acres of timber land
have been laid waste, villages have been
obliterated and the danger to life and
property is increasing hourly.
Immense districts in Maine, Vermont,
New Hampshire, New York, Connecticut,
New Jersey and Pennsylvania are broad
sheets of fame, and along the southern
shore of Long Island, encroaching as
close to New York as Train Meadows,
just outside of Long Island City, the
fires have gained such Roadway as to
cause the suspension of all other work
to prevent their further spread.
John D. Rockefeller has a big force of
men sprinkling his gardens and watch
ing for fires which might start in his
100000 private park of 1000 acres.
Fires, started by a locomotive spark,
have burned over hundreds of acres, near

palace of George Gould lies directly in
the path of the flames, and is surrounded

Diversified Production Paws.

Many farmer is poor to-day after
ten, twenty or thirty years of hard
work, because he has confined him
self to a single line of production, and
that line on overproduced and conse-
quently protitless one. To this may
be attributed much Of the downright
poverty that has befallen the older
farmers who are still in the field. The
dairy farmer should not depend upon
milk alone, nor the hop, bean or to-
bacco farmer upon hops, beans or to-
bacco alone. Each farmer, naturally
and properly, should have a main line,
determined by his location, his soil
and his markets, but with his main
line he can have side lines that will
give him something to sell every month
in the year and thus give him a hold on
several classes Of consumers. The
farms that pay are largely those de-
voted to diversified production, while
the loudest complaints of unprofita BILE
ness come largely from those who are
distinctively single line" farmers

Variety in Feed for Ho-

oats and hay are the recognized food
for horses and, undoubtedly if ono
is confined to but two kinds of food
these are better than any others n
should be remembered, however. that
horses are quite as partial to variety
as COWS, and if given more or less
change in their foods will do hotter
work and without any more exnensa
An occasional feed Of roots is hanofi-
cial, as is also a weekly feed of bran
as mash. In feeding a grain ration
good results come from scattering #
over cut hay after wetting the fodder
This is better than to feed the bav

pecially If clover hay, which is dusty.
is used. 1t is good plan to cut m
about One-half Of the hay ration to feed
with the grain in the manner suggest
ed, leaving the balance uncut, to be
fed afterward, and give the animal
something to keep it busy. An occa-
siOnal feed of corn either on the cob or
shelled also adds to the variety, but
should not take the place of oats, es-
pec1ally during the spring and sum-
mer, in the regular ration
