Des Moines, Iowa-It has been prac-
tically determined that there will be
no extra session of the legislature.
Gov. Cummins is satisfied that he can
supply the needs of the flood sufferers
ard tornado victims by borrowing
money and having the next session of
the legislature approve his course
The situation in Des Moines is still
disheartening. although the water con-
tinues to fall rapidly. Train service
on main lines is once more nearly
normal. At Ottumwa the water has
begun to decline, and the danger is
past.
Davenport, Iowa-Flooded streams
still block all railroads in this vicinity,
but the Mississippi is stationary two
feet below the danger line.
st. Paul, Minn.-The Minnesota res
ervoir is on rampage, caused by the
bursting of the dam at Big Stone
lake. The stream is a mile and a
half in width, and thirty feet deep.
The members of an unknown family
who recently removed from Oklahoma
were all drowned. Their house is
strewn along the Mississippi. Farm
buildings near the river and the
bridges have been damaged and the
loss to crops will be heavy.

FEARS FOR ST. LOUIS.
Flood Almost Certain to Do Damag
TO That CITY,

Flood Almost Certain to Do Damage
to That City.
Already beyond the danger line at
st. Louis, the Mississippi river con-
tinues to rise, and four or five feet
more of water may be seen before the
maximum is reached. Reports from
up the river indicate that the rise
will continue for day or two.
Much property damage has already
been caused by the flood, but with the
higher water to come it is feared the
loss will grow to enormous sums.
When the thirty-four foot stage
shall be reached there will be two
feet of water in the streets on the
Ievee. the cellars of which are now
nearly full of seep water. Damage to
the extent Of hundreds of thousands
of dollars will be done in st. Louis
and contiguous territory.
For a week the weather bureau
has been sending out warnings Of the
floods sweeping down from the upper
Mississippi and upper Missouri rivers,
and all have had ample opportunity to
seek places of safety.
There will doubtless be some in the
lowlands who will not heed the warn
ings until they are surrounded by
water, but the facilities for rescuing
such here are so ample that none
should perish.
The river has risen to such stage
at Alton, ILL.,, that steamers can pull

Lincoln, Neb.-The flood danger has
passed in southeastern Nebraska, but
the high water has left the railroads
in a badly crippled condition.
Lexington, Mo.-The Missouri river
is within six inches of the high-water
mark of 1881. Houses and barns are
floating down the river. The govern
ment steamer ATLANTA has removed
many flood sufferers from lowlands.
Louisian, Mo-The Mississippi river
rose one foot here overnight. In the
country north the crop damage is
serious. Gait river is rising and
steamboats, and pleasure launches are
rescuing stock.
New York-Telegram have been
sent by Mayor Low to the mayors of
Topeka, Kansas City and Des Moines
rendering his good offices in obtaining
relief for flood sufferers.
Missoula, Mont--The melting SHOWS
in the Couer d'Alene mountains are
causing a rampage of all streams. The
tracks of the Northern Pacific are in
danger near Hope, Idaho.

of cattle have been rescued. Two
feet more rise and the Alton glass
the boilers will be extinguished. A
Suspension will enforce the idleness

Thirty feet, the danger point, has
been passed by the river. The crest
of the flood from the Kansas and Mis-
souri, rivers is yet to come, and when
it shall reach st. Louis and find aug
mentation from the high water in the
Mississippi some loss of life is feared
and destruction to property must en-
sue.
The first loss of life attending the
present flood in this vicinity was re-
ported in the drowning of Mrs. Will
liam Schmidt and her two children in
an attempt to escape on a fatboat
from Catfish island, in the Missouri
river, seven miles southwest of St.

Saved His Life.

Whitehall, ILL.,, June Sth.-Mr Lon
Manley had Bright's Disease and
after his home doctor had treated
him for some time he finally told him
that he could do nothing more for
him and that he would surely die.
A friend who had heard of what
Dodd's Kidney Pills had done in
cases of Kidney Trouble, advised Mr.
Manley to try a treatment of this
remedy
He did so and everyone was sur
prised and delighted to see an i'm
provement in a very short time. This
improvement gradually kept on as
the treatment proceeded, till now Mr.
Manley is well. He says:
THE doctor said he had done all
he could for me. He gave me up. A
friend advised me to take Dodd's
Kidney Pills, and in few weeks
was nearly all right again.
Il am not dead, and can truthfully
say that 1 feel better to-day than
have for years. Dodd's Kidney Pills
are a wonderful remedy and 1 will
always praise them and recommend
them to everyone suffering as I did"
Mr.. Manley's recovery has caused a
profound sensation, as no one ever
thought. he would recover.

Russian journals are now proudly
drawing attention to the fact that
there has been for some time in the
hospital at Tomsk a man who has
lived for more than 200 years.
Knowing well that the public would
be loath to believe such a story unless
ample evidence of its truth were forth
coming, they further point out that
they have carefully examined his birth
and marriage certificates and can tes-
tify that his married life lasted forty
seven years and that he has been
widower 125 years.
This old man has been bedridden

pleases him more than to tell visitors
how he once had the good fortune to
see Peter the Great and Queen Gather

only one of his children.
In some places between here and
Alton the river is five to seven miles
wide, covering thousands of acres of
farm land, destroying crops, and driv-
ing out the farmers. The greatest
damage yet reported is at Missouri
point, at the confluence of the Mis-
souri, and Mississippi rivers, where
several hundred farmers and their
families have been driven from their
fertile lands by the high water. Still
greater damage in this section is
feared during the coming rise.

With 10000 people homeless, the
inhabitants of the city threatened by
contagion, crops ruined and with
three or four weeks of time to pass
before the flood is entirely receded,
citizens of Topeka decided to appeal
to the outside world for help. Gov.
Bailey has issued a proclamation call
ing on the charitable people of the
country to send assistance in the
shape of money.
A pathetic incident was the drown
ing of Edward Grafstrom, mechani-
cal engineer of the Santa Fe, by the
capsizing of steam launch he had
spent night and day putting togeth-
er for rescue work. He had saved
seventy-four persons by his unaided
efforts.
A thorough investigation as to con-
ditions in and about Topeka and in
the water-covered portions of Kansas
has been instituted. Much informa-
ton was ollected-enough to prove
the general situation is little less than
appalling. The gist of the informa-
ton thus gained follows:
Loss in North Topeka, 100000.
Number of homeless, 10000.
