Are the old friends OF Mr. Hendricks

Mr.. Cleveland and Mr.. Hendricks were
about as ill-assorted a pair as ever
travelled in double harness It was
with great difficulty that the In
dianian could be persuaded TO make
the race. and this Mr.. Cleveland
seemed never able to forget. Mr Hen
bricks lived but a short time alter
taking Office, but long enough to de
velop serious differences with his
chief. and to make it plain that the
association was very unpleasant to
him. When he died Mr. Cleveland
did not attend the funeral. It was
explained. that he was advised in His
course by those who thought he ought
not to take the railroad risk OF the
tourney But his absence was resented
by many Of Mr.. Hendricks friends

the course their old favorite took I'M

Cyclone Victims at Gainesville Sub.
Jected to Great PrivatIons.
Gainesville, Ga, June 2.-Weather
this morning was raw and nasty.
Bleak wind chilled the warmly clad
while the storm victims actually suf-
fered from the cold. There will be
100 funerals here within the next "a
hours, and the injured probably equals
that number.
Last night brought increased suffer.
ing to the cyclone sufferers. A steady
rain set In late in the afternoon at

ed to the marrow. The town was in
total darkness and the streets filed
with debris, which greatly impeded
the work of rescue and assistance.
All night long physicians pushed
their way through the wreckage, guild
ed 20 victims by moans and agonizing
groans. Doctors waded through the
mud and water knee deep, with their
assistants, frequently compelled to
crawl on their all-fours under and over
all sorts of debris.
Mayor Parker says there were
thousand homeless. Every door In
Gainesville was open to the victims.
At the city hall, the armory and
courthouse many passed the night,
shivering in the cold.

AID IS ASKED FOR
Topeka SUFFERERS
Governor Bailey Will Issue
Proclamation.
IMPROVEMENT IN SITUATION

Greatest Fear Now Is that Epidemic
Of Disease viii Follow Overflow OF
Waters-Eseimate of Dead Is Still
Placed at Twenty.
Topeka, Kans., June 2.-The Com.
meTcial clab at noon today voted to
ask for outside aid for the sufferers
Yesterday the club voted that no aid
from outside would be accepted, but
the distress of the people today is so
great that the community cannot pro-
vide for all, and so the charity of the
country is appealed to. This action
was taken after an address by Gov
eTnoT Bailey, who has just returned to
the city from Mound City, where he
has been water4bound since last Thurs
day. The governor will this after.
noon issue a proclamation calling up
on the charitable people Of the coun-
try to send aid in the form of money.
The situation today is materially bet
ter. The Kansas river fell during
the night at the rate Of an inch an
hour. It Is safe to say that all who
were In peril have been now removed
10 places of safety. At the Sardou
bridge alone over 20 were landed last
night
The previous estimate of 20 dead is
sttll adhered to. Many reported missing
are showing up, but it will only be pos
stble to give the actual loss of life
when the waters have finally receded.
The greatest fear now in Topeka is
epidemic of diseases.
At relief depots where refugees are
huddled together several persons suf-
fering with contagious diseases were
removed to the hospitals as rapidly as
possible. The absence of good drink
ing water Is another disease breeder.
Money is the thing most needed now
and citizens are contributing nobly,
but the demand of the situation Is
great.

AT KANSAS CITY
SITUATION IMPROVED
Believed Town Has Seen the
Worst of Flood.
DANGER OF FAMINE PASSED.
Railroad Officials Are Confident They
Can Bring In Ample Supplies of Food
From This Time on-Cable Car Ser
vice Lines Resume.

Kansas City, June 2.-There is de-
eided improvement in the situation
this morning and there is a general
feeling that Kansas CITY has seen the
worst of the flood.
According to the gauges the river
has fallen about inches during the
night, and according to official report,
is stationary, the water being 35 feet
at a. m.
The danger of famine is passed,
and the railroads are confident that
they will bring in ample supplies from
this time ON. The stock of meats in
the packing houses, most of which can
be taken out in boats, proves to be
greater than at first supposed and
there is no doubt that there is suffi-
cient meat to sustain the city for a
week, even if nothing is brought in
from the outside.
There is greater scarcity of food in
Kansas City, Kans. but with the open
ing of the electric line from Leaven-
worth, it is thought there will be no
distress of an acute description.
Superintendent Goodwin, OF the wa
terworks department, said he believed
the water supply would be, in a meas
ure, restored by nightfall. He has
placed pump and boiler in the cen
ter of Allen street and is running a
supply pipe into a 20-inch main lead
ing to the Holly street reservoir, and
he says he can fill it by night, giving
the city better protection against fire
and providing water for sanitary pur-
poses.
All the cable car lines have resum-
ed and are running as usual. The
power plant Of the electric lines IS
under water, and these roads will not
be able to run until the water sub
sides. The first malls from the west
came in late last night. None
has come yet from the flooded district
around Topeka and Lawrence, and it
Is not likely that any will arrive for
several days after the water subsidies.
About two car loads Of second, third
and fourth-class mail matter have
been lost in the freight yards. The
water is now about 8 feet above the
bottoms of the mail cars and running
strongly. 1t may be possible to dry
out mail after its recovery, but at pres
ent Superintendent Taft, of the rail
road service, classes that mail among
the lost articles. The financial dam
age is estimated by prominent bust
ness men at anywhere between 81 900, :
900 and $25, 5,0000 in this city alone,
but there is no method of determining
this with any accuracy.
