KANSAS CITY IS FEELING BETTER
Waters Arc SubsidIng and the Danger
There Is About Over.

Kansas City, June 3.-The Missouri
and Kansas are falling slowly and the
flood conditions materially bettered
during the night. The sun shone to-
day. The relief committees of both
Kansas Cities are hard at work re-
lieving the distress and restoring or
der.
The report last night that the Mis-
souri, Pacific bridge had gone out
proved this morning to be incorrect.
While the exact location of the Bur
nngton passenger train, due here Sun
day afternoon, is not known, there is
every reason to believe all the passen-
gers are safe.
Kansas City, Mo-, June 4. Blue
sky is visible above Kansas City; the
rains have ended, the sun is visible
and for this and other reasons it is
thought that the great dangers Of the
flood are past The waters of the Kaw
river are falling rapidly. Business in
Kansas City will shortly resume usual
conditions. This city has by mar
row margin escaped a serious shortage
in food, faced the PEARL of fire Ut
terly helpless to avert its consequence,
suffered millions of dollars of damage
to property and sustained loss in life
that in all probability never will be
accurately measured.
Two men lost their lives yesterday
while endeavoring to save others. JO-
seph l.. keenan, was drowned while
endeavQring to rescue some people
from the Adams House in Union ave
nue., and Edward Brooks lost his life
in Liberty street, where his skiff was
overturned by an eddy while he was
endeavoring to get another man out of
building. Several bodies were seen
floating down the stream, believed to
be those of people drowned further up
the Kaw, probably at North Topeka.
The close of another day brought
only another night of wretchedness to
the thousands of refugees at Kansas
City. Kan.-without water save for
urgent needs, without beds, with the
upper part of the town unable to house

The wretchedness, however, is more
mental than physical, although the dis
comforts due to herding large bodies
of people in buildings not built for the
purpose, and trying to feed an army
without a commissary department, are
many.
The day brought to light no facts
on which to base even an approxima
tion of the number of deaths in the
flood. Possibly ten bodies have been
seen floating since Sunday, but esti-
mates made from this are valueless,
as some of the bodies may havef1oated
down the Kaw from Topeka, the same
bodies may have been counted sew
eral times, and It is not at all certain
that observers have not in some cases
mistaken partially submerged .Yreek.

ST. Louis, June 3.-The Mississippi
continues to rise and this morning it
is foot above the danger line.
st. Louis, June 3-Th1rty feet, the
danger point. has been reached and
passed by the flood that is coming
down the Mississippi river. The river
continues to rise rapidly. and a point
considerably higher than tlirty-four
feet. which Weather Forecaster Bowie
had predicted would be reached by
tomorrow, or Friday, will be an ac-
complished fact. The first loss of life
attending the present flood in this vi
cinity was the drowning of Mrs. Will
lam Schmidt and her two children, in
an attempt to escape on a fiat boat
from Catfish island, in the Missouri
river seven miles southwest of ST.
Charles.
The effect of the flood already is be-
ing felt here, as well as further up
both the Mississippi and Missouri riv-
ers. No real damage has resulted here
yet, but the high stage predicted will
cause considerable loss here and on
the east side, in East st. Louis and
the hamlets lying in the bottoms along
the Mississippi up as far north as AL
ton. A higher stage of water will be
disastrous to the railroad and other
business interests on the east side, as
well as residents, many of whom
have already been compelled to move
to higher ground.
In some places between here and AL
ton the river is five to seven miles
wide, covering thousands of acres of
farm land in the great American bot
toms on the east side. destroying crops
and driving out the farmers. The
greatest damage yet reported is at Mis-
souri, and Mississippi rivers, where
several hundred farmers and their
families have been driven form their
fertile lands by the high water

FLOOD SITUATION AT TOPEKA
Known Dead Are Now Put at Forty -Eighs
,-Disasters Expected,

Topeka, June 3.-Three deaths from
drowning are reported since last
night. There are still 100 persons in
houses in the flooded district, but all
are safe. The river fell during the
night at the rate of an inch an hour
and is still going down rapidly. Refu-
gees are being taken care of in a sys-
tematic manner. There is no acute
suffering.
Topeka, Kan, June 3.-The flood
situation in Topeka can be briefly sum-
married. thus: known dead, forty
eight; river is now receding at the
rate of two inches an hour; distress
will be great among the refugees. Gov
ernOr Bailey has issued a proclama-
ton calling for help for flood suffer-
ers of the state. Fifty deputy sheriffs
armed with WincheSterS have gone to
North Topeka to protect proeprty, with
orders to shoot lOoters whenever they
are caught stealing.
Governor Bailey's proclamation call
ing for outside aid was decided upon
at mass meeting, when the governor
was requested to issue the call. 1t
was decided TO make this a general ap-
peal for the people all along the flood
ed districts of the state, as well as
those in Topeka. The plan is to make
Topeka headquarters, and to distribute
the aid from here to the other parts
of the state. There Will be this gener-
al appeal made;alsO an appeal Though
the fraternal organizations. and other
appeals through various sources.
The sitution in the fiood-stricken dis
tricts is better for the reason that
fewer people are marooned in houses,
none is in trees, and few on. There
is no way Of getting at the amount of
damage done by the flood in Topeka
and vicinity. The damage may reach
100000. 1t may go beyond that and
it may be much less. Crops in the
Kansas bottom are destroyed. This
makes an enormous loss to farmers.

FULLY ONE HUNDRED
VIII He the Total of the Dead by the Cy-
clone at Gainesville, Ga.

Gainesville, Ga, June 3.-The 5000
Inhabitants of this city have just be-
gun to realize the extent of the ap-
palling disaster of Monday. 1t now
seems certain that the death list will
not be much short of 100; perhaps
somewhat over 100, considering the
number of dangerously wounded
whose chances for recovery cannot
now be calculated. Figuring from all
available sources, and giving credence
only to those reports which are be
Iieved to be trustworthy the follow
ing is a summary of the effects of
the tornado in Gainesville and its
environs: One hundred killed; 80 in
jured, of whom probably twenty will
die; 500 homeless, their residences hav-
ing been wiped out of existence; prop
erty lose of about half a million dol
lars. none of which was covered by
storm insurance.
Known Dead Are sixty-Eight.
A concise and accurate statement OF
the casualties cannot be rendered for
several days, but the physicians in at
tendance believe that it will not go
very far above 100, although twenty
five or thirty are desperately injured
and may die within the next two or
three days. The death list so far CONF
piled includes thirty-two at the Paco-
let cotton mills at New Holland, all of
whom were killed in the demolition of
the company's cottages, and thirty-six
at the Gainesville cotton mills, near
the Southern railway station, where
