EXCURSION STEAMER WRECKED
sudden Lurcb Throws Three Chndren
Into water and They Are
Drowned.

HANNIBAL. Mo-, June 3:-Three children
were drowned here today by the collision
Of the steamer Flying Eagle, towing
barge filled with Sunday school excursion
lists, and a pier in the Hannibal bridge.
The dead:
LONNIE CURTIS, aged Is.
LAURA CoPPAGE, aged 10.
HARRY EICHENBERGER. aged H.
About $50 children from the Park Metho-
dist church Sunday school of Hannibal had
boarded the barge and number were on
the steamer. The excursion left Hannibal
20 run to Quincy and AFFORD view of the
swollen Mississippi.
AS the boat swung out into the river the
swift current seized the craft and despite
all efforts bore It straight down
toward the stone pier nearest the
shore. With a crash the steamer was
hurled against the pier and wrecked. but
did not sink Immediately. For a time II
was wedged against the pier by the cur
rent and held while the horror-stricken
children and the adults climbed up the
pier to the bridge. In this way almost
half of the passengers were saved.
Before all could reach safety the barge
was veered around by the current and
finally swung loose from the pier and
fioated down stream In the sudden
swinging out Of the barge the three
children were thrown into the water and
swept to their death.
Carried by the surging waters at rapid
rate the barge filed with screaming
children ioated into the channel and for
a time II seemed that all were doomed to
perish. But from further down the
stream the catastrophe had been witnessed
and at hand were number of skins and
rowboats of different kinds. With one
thought these boats were manned and like
miniature fleet they shot out into the
swell of the stream to meet the barge.
Encouragement was called to the child
rem and they were urged to sit down and
be quiet This had good effect. The
rescuing boats surrounded the barge and
the children were quickly taken from 1t
and were safely landed.

KANSAS CITY, June s.--(Specisl Tele-
gram.) .)-Kansas City is standing by today,
still hopeful, still alert. ready to act the
moment the now rapidly receding waters
makes action possible Already the rail-
roads are laying their plans and Just as
soon as the tracks are uncovered every
available man will be pre,,sed into service
rebuilding and repairing Already arrange
ments have been made whereby all the
money necessary will be forthcoming and
the construction officials have begun to
look up such material and supplies as will
be required and what is true OF the rail-
roads is true also Of the other large bust
ness interests The upper floors of the
Stock exchange building are. indeed, even
now in the hands OF cleaners. although the
river still RACES below. Gas is now avail
able in limited measure. seven street car
lines are in operation and by tomorrow
evening the water famine possibly will be
lifted in the business districts.
Besides this the only new Developments
today was the establishment OF a steamer
service between the two Kansas Citys.
Across the river the smaller sister has suf
fered most but even there things are
gradually looking up At some risk and
considerable trouble supplies have been
taken in to feed the hungry and, accord
ing to latest advices, the same spirit OF
eager optimism animates the Kansas as the
Missouri sufferers.
With the passing OF danger and reopen
ing of the various branches of the public
service a growing interest is being taken
in the probable change in the courses of
the twin devastators, the Kaw and the
Missouri There seems TO be no doubt now
as indicated In Mondays dispatch. that
when the present flood finally subsidies the
channels will both be changed.

The climate is very mild in winter.

more oppressive than In Iowa The
days are very warm. but the nights

About tho same class Of crops are
grown here as in Iowa and in addition
to these. there are many kinds of
crops that are raised in the extreme
south that do exceptionally well here.
Regarding fruits Of all kinds this
section has no superior in variety
quality and quantity.
Guthrie. the capital Of Oklahoma, is
less than fourteen years old, has a
population Of $4,000, and is a city that
would be a credit to any old settled
country AT this time there are four
railroads running into Guthrie and
six new lines building that will be
completed within the next 90 days.
This certainly will make Guthrie a
great railroad center
The prose cts Of the different crops
could not be better any where than
they are here at the present time.
