PEOPLE IN TREES.
Their Cries for Help We're Heard All
Forenoon.

There are still a good many people in
the west part of North Topeka-how
many cannot be told, but their cries for
nelp can be distinctly heard from the
foot Of Western avenue and further
west
The cries are heartrending- Only the
tops of the houses and trees are visible
far across the waters, and it is supposed
that the people are lodged in trees.
The water stands several feet above
the Rock Island main tracks and comes
high up on the bluffs south of them. and
the wind from the north rolls up waves
against the bluffs like the waves on a
lake where they are not broken by the
trees.
Several freight cars standing half
submerged near the Rock Island tank
burned to the waters edge this morn
ing. They were loaded with lime and
as soon as the water reached the lime,
the heat set fire to the cars.
A car of butter which had just been
made for the government by the Conti-
mental creamery stood on a Rock Island
sidetrack in three feet Of water last
night The car contained over 5000
worth of butter, and the company was
anxious to save it. In some way The
trainmen managed to get it out and it
was sent to the Santa Fe yards out II
the reach of the water.

MELAN BRIDGE STANDS.
Magnificent Structure Withstands
Strain Like Adamant.

No harm has yet come 10 the nagni-
hcent Melan arch bridge which spans
the kaW on Kansas avenue. 1t was
watched closely all the morning but as
it safely withstood all the assaults or
the rising water people, began TO gather
on it when they could not get wagons
to be taken to the oltl1er side across tbs
torrent on Crane JtTeet. They evil
IDENTIFY regarded it as safer than the
heart Of North Topeka, an acre or se,
of which remained visible until about
o'clock. The only indication that be-
tolzened danger was the sinking Of n
part of the brick pavement at the very
north end of the bridge. In spite of ali
the precautionary measures of the
street department in damming back the
water from the north approach the
river washed away considera bic earth
Probably the settling back of the ap-
preach allowed the roadway of the
bridge to recede a trife. This sinking
took place unobserved in the night ana
did not increase during the morning
The only danger on the bridge was
from falling wires

FEAR OF PLUNDERING.
It was reported today that gangs of
plunderers are going through the houses
in North Topeka. Nearly ali of the
houses were left unlocked and it would
be possible for robbers to reap a rich
harvest by plundering the houses. They
would have to use boats to do this. and
some assert that the boats are all in the
hands of the city authorities. who are
holding them until the end Of the food.
It viii be necessary for the police to
exercise great yIligence tonight to pre-
vent a wholesale robbery OF the sub
merged district

tuvo elocuente oportuno ell sefor San

nor Iglesas ell cual csta demas declr que

los republicanos rabiosos que no pueden
conformarse nunca con que Sc les abran
los oJos & los que estan todavla vendados
por la venda del fanatismo pol1tlco, que
Green que ell doctor Barbosa es ell envia-
do por Dios para redimir Puerto Rico,
teniendo como tienen pruebas mas que
suficientes, que ell doctor y su partido
han sido los enviados, por Dios no dire
porque Dlos no Sc mete en- ESQ. Asl es
que no siendo Dios ell que 10 envla, tiene
que ser acknowledgements ell Demonio, por
ser ell que tiene ell mando opuestO, pues
ALA sucede como aqu1 en- Puerto Rico.

ha enviado & ese senor Y 4 su partldo
que procure por todos los medios posi-
bIes la destruction social, pol1tica, ad-
ministrativa, hasta moral de este pals.
Pero sigamos la narracion de 10 ocu-
rrido en- ell <meeting.S Hablaba Iglesias,
Y del grupo de republicanos rabiosos,
salio un individuo le interrumpi6 en-
formas muy POGO correctas, no teniendo
este mayores consecuencias, por Ia cir
cunspecci6n Y cultura de los oradores y
socialistas allf reunidos. La policfa in
sular, como sempre: no intervino en-
NADIA, no viendosele adoptar ninguna ac-
titud fin de hacer valer ell derecho que
tiene todo ciudadano en- expresar libre y
expontaneamente sus ideas. Sc nos dice,
que dicha policfa sc fue en- busca del te-
niente Carb6, pero este tuvo por conve-
niente ell no venir: quizas estarfa averi-
guando 81 un federal habfa cometido la
mas feve falta para denunciarlo, quien
sabe no vendrla, por impedfrselo la visi-
ia de algunos de sus amigos Y correli-
| gionarios que con frecuencia lie hacen.
Recuerdo ahora, que LA DEMoCRA-
CIA dijo una vez respecto q Carbo, que
no saba escribir. 81, sabe; 10 que hay
es que Carlo parece que We muy lejos,
| Y dice: por 81 pierdo algun dia los ga

No 10 culpe por ESQ Mr.. Hsnill.
Sc termino ell meeting, y ell senior Igle-

Veremos que hace ell juez Lopez.
