ENORMOUS PROPERTY LOSS.
Damage From Floods to Kansas Cities
Amounts to Twelve Millions.


Amounts to Twelve Millions.
Kansas City, Mo-. June S-Kansas
has suffered as a result of the recent
foods more than any other state.
No actual figures to sustain this
can be given, but those acquainted
with the extent and amount of the
damage have been making estimates
and their conclusions may be con
sidered fairly reliable. The damage
done in the principal cities is esti.
mated at $l2.330,0 900.
No account has been taken Of the
smaller towns, although nearly 200 Of
these were affected by the floods.
The very lowest estimate that can
be made of the loss done to crops is
$5,000.000. Owing to the lateness OF
the season and the condition of the
soil, it is very doubtful if any profit
will be derived during the remainder
of the year from the farms which were
inundated. AS a. consequence there
will be great deal of individual want
and suffering among farmers, upon the
whom blow fell heaviest
At Kansas City, Kan, all day Sun
day gangs of men were at work clear
ing away debris of the floods and there
will be a general resumption of busi-
ness today. The packing plants will
start up In measure today and all
will be in full blast before the week
ends

NEVADA DIVORCES ILLEGAL.

The United States Supreme, Court
has just rendered a decision that in
effect nullifies Dakota and Nevada
divorces. It decides that colorado
residence will not do. The applicant
must not be PERMITTED to get around
the law by an indirection. He must
take, up residence whit q bona fide
Intention Of becoming a permanent
citizen of the State II he leaves
the moment he has secured a divorce
the implication is that he never in
tended to be come a citizen of the
place, and in that case the State new
er acquired jurisdiction over his mar
tiai affairs. That knocks on the head
a great many California marriages
and leaves such people as have mar
ried since. and their name is legion.
under the unpleasant situation of be-
ing bigamists. How they are to re-
lieve themselves of the odium they
have incurred it is difficult to see.
Probably most of them will do moth
ing and let things go at that. But
that course may prove fruitful of fu-
ture trouble. Property rights would
unQuestionably become involved, to
say nothing of the loss of social stand
ing of the parties. Perhaps the best
, remedy would be to begin divorce
proceedings over again in a regular
and legal way. The Supreme Courts
decision is far reaching, and renders
the divorces obtained in not a few
States of questionable legality. New
ada and Dakota are the most notori-
Gus wrong-doers, but there are others
not much better. If the discussion Of
the question should give vitality to
the movement in favor Of uniform
Federal divorce law for all the States,
that will in part atone for the shock
ingly muddled condition of affairs. 1t
is not creditable to highly civilized
nation that the legality of its marri-
ages should remain in doubt. or that
they may be so easily sundered as II
at present the case in all too many of
our States.-S. F. News Letter.
