Legislature Will Also Come to Relief
 of Towns.
 Topeka, Kas., June 9.-It Is expected that a special session of the Kansas Legislature will be, called tomorrow to pass bills for the flood sufferers. Replies have been received from twenty-five members of the Legislature giving fa- vorable answers to the queries as to whether they would serve without pay. Governor Bailey will be In Topeka some time tomorrow and will issue the special call. The session will pass acts enabling Kansas counties to rebuild a large num- Der of bridges washed out in the flood.
 Nearly $60.00O Is now in the flood relief fund. If this generous aid continues it will be sufficient in three weeks to go a long way toward giving North Topeka people a new start. Among the contri- buttons today was $500 from each of the following: Prudential Insurance Com pany of New Jersey, Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce, Cincinnati Business Men Club.
 Today. in obedience to a proclamation by the Mayor, many of the most promi- nent business and professional men of the city worked all day in shoveling mud and sand out of the dwellings on the north side. This Is a stupendous task. Many buildings which escaped being wrecked by the flood are now in danger of being ruined by the mud which they collect and which is crushing out the floors. Al no time during the flood was the proper ty loss exaggerated: 1t will be something enormous. The full force of the flood Is only now being felt.

Stone in the business section of this city has been investigated by the postoff1ce inspectors.

 came to me and said he believed could help him in getting the sub-station, which he desired. consulted Postmaster
 Merritt, pleaded for Mir. Stone as best l could and succeeded. Four or five years
 ago helped pr. Prentiss to secure sub station in that vicinity. but I did not charge him for the work. Mir. Stone came to me as a stranger, I am aware that this is not a high class of legal busi- ness, but we have to take up little mat
 ters of. that kind as occasion offers to | meet our office expenses"
 Druggist Stone complained that after nearly three months the station that cost him $100 was summarily removed across | the street

HIGHEST EVER KNOWN
MISSISSIPPI REACHES STAGE 37.75 AT ST. LOUIS.
Reported That Nine Persons Were
 Drowned by Capsizing of Boat But This is Unconfirmed. Refugees in St. Louis.

St. Louis, June 10.-Shortly after mid night the Illinois Central embankment at the Valley Railroad crossing at East St. Louis was washed through and the en- tire lower portion of East St. Louis was flooded. About 5000 homes were deluged The people are greatly excited and at o'clock began building a dike on the roadway in an effort to keep the water from other portions of the city.
 Word was received here at 2:10 o'clock that the water is rushing into East St. Louis from the south side In a torrent, and people are fleeing for their lives. The heavy pressure that tore away the 1lli- nos Central embankment swept other barriers aside and flowed on in a torrent Into the southern portion of the cits There Is no means of communication ex- cept by telephone. and the excitement is so great that little can be learned The business portion of the city is from to feet below the flood level, and If the water pours through the streets. the property loss will be heavy and many lives probably will be lost.
 St. Louis, June 9.-The Mississippi fioCs which last night began to recede after reaching a stage of 375 feet. began a rapid rise today and reached a stage of S75 feet. establishing the highest water mark ever ojcially recorded in St. Louis
 The rise was rapid after the dawn oi day, the water creeping up from 37.1 feet where the recession during the later part of the night had placed the stage, stead. fly regaining lost ground and increasing until at noon the stage had reached 37.7I feet and from that time until 8 o'clock tonight the river remained stationary.
 What has caused the rise is problemat ical. Government Forecaster Bowie ad vances as an explanation that the water that has spread out through broken lev ees to the north is being drawn bacl into the channel by the receding watel and has caused a temporary rise at thi! point. He says the rise will be of short du ration and the decline consequently vii be rapid.
 nine persons were drowned by the capsiz ing of a boat near the Madison railroad depot today. but despite all efforts thi report has not been confirmed.
 It Is estimated that 5000 refugees haV' found shelter in St. Louis and vicinity.
 People remaining in their flooded houses in the inundated districts are being fur nished with food as rapidly as possible. I is estimated that 1000 people are stil living in flooded homes in Granite City Venice and Madison. A supply boat ha been outftted and will daily make trip to relieve suffering.
