TOPEKA TRAINS ARE STALLED.
Flooded District VIII Not BE Hab-
liable For Months.

TOPEKA, Kan, June 2.-The latest
reports from flooded districts say:
''Miles of the Rock Island track are
washed out and much of the remaining
track is up on end. 1t will be week
before we can get trains into Topeka.
Three train loads of material for re-
building the tracks have been sent
from Chicago, and we expect to be
among the first people. to get passenger
service started after the flood goes
down"
Physicians say that the sanitary CON
dition of North Topeka when the water
shall go down will be such that the
place will not be fit for habitation for
some months. They say the best plan
would be to get tents from the state
and establish tent city on some plot
of high ground.
Provisions of all sorts are becoming
scarce in Topeka. No freight trains
have entered the city for several days,
and as large quantities of groceries
were destroyed in North Topeka there
will not be enough for the people to
eat if the present situation lasts much
longer. 1t is charged that certain of
the merchants have formed combina-
ton for the purpose of controlling the
prices ON provisions.

Railroad Mail Rooms Under Eight
Feet of Water.
WASHINGTON, June Dispatches
to the post Office department report
that the floods have wrought havoc to
the mail service in southern Iowa, Ne
braska and in the neighborhood of
Kansas City. A telegram received here
from Superintendent Taft of the rail
way mail service at Kansas City says:
situation worse if such is possible.
Union statiOnland transfer clerks room
under eight feet of water. Missouri Pa
citic is running trains between here
and ST. Louis. Santa Fe railroad ex-
poets to start train for west some time
during the day, but doubtful. Only
train service into and out of the city
is from the Milwaukee depot. Twenty
second and Grand avenue. Frisco and
Katy trains are being operated from
Rosedale, Kan, south. Conditions are
Geplorable and demand prompt atten-
tion. Property losses beyond computa-
ton. Argentine and Armourdale wiped
off the map and no communication
with Kansas City, Kan. Probably two
car loads of second, third and fourth
class mail matter will be lost, as we
are unable to reach the cars and re-
move the mail, the water being from
three to five feet above the floors of
the cars. Still storming, and no one
can predict the outcome"

GREAT STRIKE IS ON
Textile Workers of Philadel-
phia Go Out.
WANT THE HOURS OF LABOR REDUCED
Estimated That Seventy-flve Thou
sand Operatives Have Refused to
Go to Work Until Their De-
mands Are Complied with.

mands Are Compiled with.
PHILADELPHIA, June 2.-It did
not need the assertion of the executive
board of the textile workers to carry
conviction that the greatest conflict be-
tween employers and employees ever
seen in Philadelphia is now on. The
crowd of idle men, women and chill
.dren that congregated on the streets
of the city's textile mill districts form
ed story without words. 1t was esti-
mated by leaders in the strike that
more than 10000 textile workers have
refused to go to work as a protest
against the employers refusing to re-
duce the working time of the workers
from sixty to fifty-five hours week.
The executive board of the textile
workers after a mass meeting sat for
the remainder of the day at Upholstery
Weavers' hall receiving reports from
representatives of the different textile
centers of the city and to give advice
as to the conduct of the strike. There
were two more firms added to the list
of employers granting the fifty five
hour week, making forty eight in all.
There are about 600 firms in Philadel-
phia, and with the exception of those
who have agreed to the demands of
their employers they say they will not
make any concessions.
The ingram carpet weavers held a
big meeting and reaffirmed their dec
laration for a 10 per cent increase in
wages in addition to the demand for
the fifty-tive hour week. Representa-
tives were present from each of the
sixty-three ingram mills, numbering
5000 employees, whose action affects
1000 other workers. In reply to the
contention of the manufacturers that
because of competition elsewhere in
the trade they could grant neither the
advance in pay nor the shorter work
week the meeting issued a statement
through Presidents Joseph Settle, in
which, after showing so per cent of the
ingram carpet of the country is manu-
factured in the Kensington district, he
asks:
why should one-third of the coun-
try fix the price for the two-thirds and
256 looms control 3,400? l believe that
if the ingram manufacturers of Kel-
sington would form combination and
adhere to a uniform selling price mucn
of the complaint of injurious competi
tion of outside mill districts would be
done away with. There is no bitterness
between the ingram carpet manufac-
'turers and their weavers But in any
case the dyers hold the key to the situ-
alton. If they refuse to dye the mate
rial we cannot work even if we were
able to effect settlement. We are sim
ply awaiting developments"

Sage of Fifth Avenue to Move.

NEW YORK. June Russell Sage,
who has lived for forty-two years in
the modest dwelling at 506 Fifth ave-
nue., will take advantage of an option
to purchase 632 Fifth avenue and
make it the home of himself and Mrs.
Sage. The house sos Fifth avenue has
become sandwiched in between con-
fectionery store and a hat shop, and
within a stones throw are shops of
various kinds. They have grated harsh
ly on the nerves of Mrs. Sage, though
not disconcerting the financier. Yield
ing at last to her wishes, however,
Mr.. Sage has consented to leave the
home which has been theirs for so
many years

There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infiamed con-
dition OF the mucous lining OF the Eus-
tachian tube. When this tube is in
famed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing. and when Il is en-
tirely closed. deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be Ia
ken cut and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de
stroyed forever; nine cases out OF ter
