The heaviest financial loss

The heaviest financial loss is at Ar
mourdale, where the losses to the packing
industry and others are placed conserya-
lively at $2,5O0,OOO. Argentine, another
suburb, has suffered losses estimated Mt
$5OO.OOO Other losses which cannot now
BE- estimated will increase the total very
materially. Armourdale, with a popu-
lation Of 10000 people, is deserted, and
its site marked only by the tops of build
ings and a number of fires.
Two thirds of Argentine is under wa
ter. Over $500 people in this suburb
found safety in the higher part of the
town. All bridges over the Kaw River
are down and the only communication
with Armourdale is by boat.
Kansas City is without water supply,
the food having disabled the pumping
station, and the utmost care is being
taken that no fires shall break out. Even
a small FIRE. it is feared, would start a
confagration. Only one street car line
in the city was running, owing to the
disabling of the power plants by the
flood.
Two-thirds of Argentine, a railroad
and manufacturing town on the south
bank of the Kansas River, six miles from
Kansas City, is inundated by ten to TWEEN
ty feet of water, and probably $500, ,OOO
of damage has been done. Forty-five
hundred of the $500 inhabitants are
homeless, and nearly 5000 are destitute.
Five bridges have been swept away, all
the railroad tracks and factories are un.
der water, and business is suspended.
Dispatches received in Chicago by the
Western railroads indicate that condi.
tions in the flooded districts of Iowa, Mis-.
souri, and Kansas are at their worst. The
lowlands bordering the larger streams are
reported under water and farmers and
residents of the smaller towns are in the
gravest danger. The heaviest floods are
along the Kaw River. This stream is a
small-sized Missouri in its behavior, and
variations in its channels are frequent.

Saturday afternoon perhaps 5000 peo
pie, warned by reports Of the deluge that
was coming from the Smoky and Repub
lican above, fled from their homes, leav
ing their household goods behind, but the
rest of the population, believing that
what the Oldest inhabitant never had
witnessed would not happen, refused te
move, and in the night the flood came
like tidal wave and drove them out Of
their beds.
Some sought upper stories. only to be
driven to their roofs, and many took tc
trees. Many took to boats and to RATS
and some were drowned. How many
were drowned will never be known.
The town site south of the creek is
flat and low. and three feet of water
above the bank of the river at the Melan
Arch bridge, which cuts the two sides Of
town, means flood over the entire sur
face. The business houses are two and
three stories high, and many of the
dwellings are modern.

Nearly 10000 People.


North Topeka constitutes the First
Ward of the capital city of Kansas. 1t

sas River, known colloQuially as the
Kaw, the old Indian name of the stream.
The city of Topeka proper is on the

contains about 5000 to 10000 inhabit-
ants, many of them negroes. Until twen-
ty-fve years ago it was an independent
municipality, but now it is included under
the same government as Topeka. The
Mayor of Topeka resides there. 1t has
three railroads and railroad stations, ele-
vators, mills, lumber yards, stores, banks,
schools, churches, and it represents, or
did represent, fully one-fourth of tho
wealth Of the city of Topeka. 1t fronts
on the river and north and east of it IS
Soldier Greek, a stream that flows from
the prairies on the north. Beyond this
creek the ground is higher.
The river normally is about 1000 yards
wide at spring tide. Saturday night it
spread all over the low lying ground on
either side, and fully FIVE miles wide.

Large District Under Water.
The already flooded condition Of CEN
tral and eastern Kansas, which has
been in the grasp Of the flood, became
acute Saturday night by sudden rise
in all streams, which were swollen by
heavy rains. The rivers along which
the main damage was done are the

its source at Kansas City to Manhat-

tance of another 100 miles, touching
Junction City, Abilene, Salina and Ellis

intervening country; the Blue river
north from Manhattan, the Missouri
river north and east Of Kansas City
and the Des Moines river at Des

It is feared that many deaths will
result as the outcome Of the fearful
night spent by sufferers in the flooded
districts. Many sick persons were car
ried out of houses about to be swept
away and forced to remain without
shelter in the cold rain. Owing to the
suddenness with which the flood came
no preparations could be made. 1t is
believed that the figures reached in the
disastrous flood of 1881 will be sur
passed.
