BY FLOOD AND FIRE
OVER TWO HUNDRED LIVES LOST
IN TOPEKA, KANSAS.
People Driven to the Roofs of Their
Houses by High Water, Many Of
Them Dropping Into the Rag

The conditions at Topeka. the cap.
account Of the flood in the Kansas
river, are truly appalling. over two
hundred lives have thus far been lost,
placing the loss of life at the lowest
estimate, and the fnacial loss will run
into the millions.
To add to the horror Of the situa-
ton, fire broke out in the northern
part of the city and about four hun
dred houses have been burned.
Several hundred people are on the
roofs OF their houses, the buildings be-
ing surrounded by water. Many Of
them, becoming exhausted after hours
OF Imprisonment, have dropped into
the waters and drowned. The flooded
district is in the northern part of the
city.
Latest reports from the stricken
town of Topeka, Kansas. state that
the present condition of the flood Isl

900 worth of property destroyed.
Five dead bodies have been found
and identified; twenty floating bodies
have been seen. The number of peo-
pie missing is placed at 200. Houses
to the number of 200 have been de-
stroyed by fire, two banks have col
lapsed, number of wholesale grocery
stores have been flooded, while at
least twenty-five big business blocks
are liable to fall at any minute.
A more conservative estimate places
the number of dead at 175, but the
higher number is as likely to be cor
rect at the lower.
A special from Topeka says: Burn.

OF the burning buildings contain ten
