sEvEN MORE BODIES FOUND.
List of Known Dead at Topeka Now Reaches
seventy-one.
(By the Associated Press


Topeka, Kas., June 1.-The bodies of
seven more flood victims were found to-
day. The list of known dead now reaches
.seyenty-one with thirty people identified.
1t Is the belief that many bodies are yet
in the wreckage. Scores are reported
missing and there is no way of immediate
by locating them. The Union Pacific de-
pot has been .mprovised as a morgue and
there the bodies are gathered to await
Identification.
The river today fell thirteen inches.
This makes drop of over FIVE feet from
the high water mark 1t is just now that
the devastating power of the flood is be-
coming known.
North Topeka is a total wreck. There
is town there-the plaything of the ele-
ments, which seems to have worried it
until they tired and then left it stranded.
The water is still over a greater part Of
the town
The great difficulty now exists in the
wretched sanitary conditions. The health
board is busying itself with the problem
of sanitation and will do all possible to
gent regulations are being enforced. The
city water viii probably be turned on
some time tonight and this win greatly re-
lieve the situation.
From Manhattan, Abilene, Salina, Flor
ence, Lincoln Centre and Hutchinson come
reports that the water has about spent
its force and that the towns are slowly
recovering.
The yield of wheat will be much smaller
as the result of the food and financial
loss will be great. However, the State
has great resources and is bearing up
well under the stunning blow.

In Memory of Mrs. Stage.

Especial to News and Observer
Apex, n. c., June 4.-The doors to the
Cape Fear and Northern Railway offices
at Apex, n. c., were closed and draped
yesterday on account of the death of Mrs.
Stagg, of Burlington, who was the mother
of Mr.. J. E. stagg, vice-president of the
railroad.
The Burlington News pays her a high
tribute, saying:
We have never seen a more noble
character in her devotion to her invalid
husband You never saw her hut that
she had a pleasant smile and friendly
greeting, and her neighbors always shared
with her the good things that God blessed
her with. It is seldom that earth is
blessed with such a sanity woman, and
her true and loving devotion to her
helpless life companion will win for her
crown for the faithful discharge of
duty"
