In almost every neighborhood some
one has died from an attack OF collie
or cholera morbus. often before medi.
cine could be procured or a physician
summoned. A reliable remedy for
these disorders should be kept at
hand. The risk Is too great for any
one to take. Chamberlain's Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy has
undoubtedly saved the lives of more
people and relieved mor pain and
suffering than any other medicine in
use. II can always be depended up
on. For sale by C. II. Williams, Lew
istown and Gilt Edge.

were made in some stocks at the OPEN

clans in charge reported all the injured
doing as well as could be expected
The trains that collided were the third
section of No. 4 northbound, from Cal
ifornia to Chicago, and the south
bound California limited. With the ex-
ception of two tramps on the bumpers,
all the killed and injured were in the
chair car of the southbound train. The
Pullmans did not leave the track Con-
fusion of train orders caused the
wreck.
The trains We're routed over the Mis-
souri, Pacific on account of the floods
which have washed out the Santa Fe
tracks. Orders were sent out by the
train dispatcher for both trains to
meet at Stillwell. 1t is claimed the
crew on the Chicago train disregarded
the orders and ran more and more past
the meeting place. The tracks We're
cleared last night and traffic resumed.

A SERIOUS PROBLEM.
Impossible to Accept Any More Patients at the
Insane Asylum.

\
Las Vegas, N. M, June 4.-Many
subscribers in Las Vegas state that
they have been surprised to note edi-
torial para graphs in recent issues of
strued as structures upon the manage
ment of the territorial insane asylum
| in the matter Of providing quarters for
insane persons now confined in county
jails. In order that the public may be
put in touch with all the facts bearing
upon this important subject your cor
respondent has visited the asylum and
has made extended inquiries among
] those capable of giving accurate infor-
nation.
| 1t is true that the last legislature
passed a law containing sentence
which states that the asylum authori-
sane persons in the territory, but it
must be borne in mind that th,. act in
question is merely a proviso attached
to a cash appropriation of $4,000 for
not be available unless the courts de-
eide that the sinking funds can be so
diverted, and even then a new building
could not be completed in much less
than one year. Until such cash appro-
priation does become available the pro-
viso mentioned is, of course, without
any weight whatever
But, law or no law. the problem is in
itself the most serious which confronts
the asylum authorities. No one can
urge a reason that would bear discus
sion in favor of maintaining insane
persons in the county jails, provided
there was any room for them at the
asylum. In this connection then, let us
see what investigation discloses. The
asylum as it stands, contains plenty of
room for 20 or so patients, yet the ca
pacity has been strained to such
point that 115 patients are being ac-
commodated. This result has been ac-
complished by placing several mild
cases together in sleeping rooms, bare
~ large enough LOT tNU, anu ny CIoWu-
ing the attendants, store room, laun-
dry, etc, into any space available. 1t
will be understood by all that the
limit to such procedure is quickly and
distinctly drawn, since a patient liable
to acute attacks might do great dam
age if he happened to sleep in a room
with several other persons. Everyone
must bear in mind the fact that the
asylum is really a hospital and that
the object for which it exists is not
merely to afford place of confinement
for those whose minds are deranged.
but that it's first and foremost object Is
the cure and discharge of patients
whose mental balance can be restored.
Important as it is, then. to accommo-
date the sufferers now confined in the
various counties, it remains absolutely
impossible to jeopardize the physical
and the possible mental welfare of
more than 100 patients now receiving
treatment by crowding them to a point
where accidents might occur, or the
entire body of inmates compelled to
suffer unspeakable physical discom-
forts. Such conditions would of cer-
tainty produce permanent insanity in
any patient undergoing treatment for
mental arrangement of milder type.

Flood is Receding as Rapidly as it Came Up-.The
Kansas City Union Depot is Coming in View
STEADY RISE OF THE
RIVER AT ST. LOUIS

Kansas City, June 5.-The rivers
here are now falling as rapidly as they
rose before the flood. The Missouri
has fallen a foot and nine inches in
the past "a hours, and at o'clock this
morning the government gauge regis
tered 81 feet. The Kaw river fell near
ly two feet in the same time. BY Sat-
urday noon the platform of the Union
depot will likely be partially above
water. Permanent wiz ,se!nmunica-
tion was opened today between the two
Kansas Cities for the first time since
Sunday and this will aid wonderfully
in the work Of restoring order. The
several hundred refugees from Armour
dale and other districts who have been
housed in Convention Hall We're re-
moved today to tents in the south por-
tion of the city because Of the unsani-
tary condition of the hall.
Four bodies passed down the Mis-
souri, within an hour before noon to-
day with quantity of drift that came
out with the current from between Ar
mour and Fowler Packing houses, sit
uated at the mouth of the Kaw. The
bodies were carried along so swiftly
that they could not be recovered.
MAY PLANT CORN.
Abilene, Kas., June 5.-The Smoky
Hill river here fell 1-2 inches during
the night. Where water has stood for
week, no crops can be harvested
though corn may yet be planted =.

Topeka, June 5.-The river today was |
9 feet below the highest recorded point, |

The approaches to the Melan bridge on
Kansas avenue were completed early |
today and a steady stream of people, |
carrying shovels and brooms We're soon |
on their way to North Topeka to clean
their homes and stores. The water has /
receded from the main business streets
for a distance of five blocks north of
Gordon street and has left an aceumu-
lation of mud and slime, that in some
cases Is piled three feet high along the
fronts of stores and in many of the
buildings. In spite of the most deter
mined efforts the water company has

COMING UP AT ST. LOUIS.
st. Louis, June 5.-The river this
morning attained the stage of 1876
feet, a raise of Ia feet during the past
"a hours. The crest of the flood which
is expected by Sunday. may be 36 feet
and may go even higher as the rivers
north and west still pour in their
quotas of water. In north and south
st. Louis the river is several miles
wide. Along the river front, however,
1t is encroaching on buildings, making
necessary the moving of household
goods and business stocks.
A special to the Post-Dispatch from
Louisiana, Mo-, says: The Sny levee
broke opposite here at 10 o'clock this
morning. A hundred thousand acres of
farm land protected by the levee, will
probably be flooded and the estimated
losses resulting will aggregate millions
of dollars. a.
ISLAND NEARLY COVERED.
Chester, Ills, June 5.-The river at
this point is rapidly rising. The rise
has been so great within 4S hours that
1t threatens to do great damage to
of persons living at Kaskas-
kia Island. The home of Stanley
Jones on Kaskaskia Island, is entirely
surrounded by water today and friends
of the family in Chester have sent a
boat to their rescue. Great damage is
done to crops in the lower section of
the country here.
