SITUATION IN ST. LOUIS.
River Is Still Rising and Destruction
of PrODerty Ia Feared

of Property Is Feared.
St. Louis, June 4.-The first tra;r
from Des Moines and St. Paul over the
Wabash to reach St. Louis since the be.
ginning fAe flood, after being tied up
in cornfield near Garrison, Ia, for
over three days, has arrived at the
union station. The train left Des
MoiRes at 7:45 o'clock Friday night
Out of Its Banks.
The flood situation here is growing
more menacing. For miles north of
here the Mississippi is out of it's banks.
A rise of five feet more is predicted.
Such a rise would send a 15-foot food
over almost the entire portion of East
St. Louis, directly across the river, and
cause damage of millions among the
great manufacturing plants and resi-
dences, if not actually drowning large
numbers of the population. St. Louis
itself would be inundated by such
rise and untold losses would be in
flicted especially in the wholesale fruit
markets. :,
Three Drowned.
Already it is known that the Mis-
souri, flood has cost three lives here and
driven hundreds if not thousands to
the highlands. The waters of the Mis-
souri, have swept across Missouri point,
the tongue of land between Mississippi
and Missouri above their confluence,
flooding thousands of acres of crops
and driving several hundred farmers
and their families from their homes.

ASKS HELP FOR VICTIMS.
Gov. Bailey Issues en- Appeal for
Assistance for the Flood SUI
ferers in Kansas.
WILL ASK GOVERNMENT FOR TENTS.
Water In the River Is Falling and the
Situation Is Improving - Kansas
City, Mo-, Able to Care for It's Own
Flood Situation at St. Louis In
Extremely Critical.

Topeka, Kan, June 4.-The flood
situation in Topeka can be briefly
summarized thus:
Known dead, 4s.
River fell three feet and is now
receding at the rate of two inches an
hour.
Distress will be great among the
refugees.
Gov. Bailey issued a proclamation
calling for help for flood sufferers of
the state
Fifty deputy sheriffs armed with
Winchesters went to North Topeka
to protect property with orders to
shoot looters whenever they are
caught stealing.
General Appeal.
Gov. Bailey's proclamation calling
for outside aid was decided upon at
nass-meeting Tuesday, when the gov
ernor was requested to issue the call.
1t was decided to make this a general
appeal for the people all along the
flooded districts of the state. as well
as those in Topeka. The plan is to
distribute the aid from here to the
other parts of the state. There will
be this general appeal made, an ap-
peal through the fraternal organiza-
tons, and other appeals through
various sources.
Water RecedinE.
The river is three feet below high
water mark. The fall is plainly in
Dictated on the Seymour building at
Kansas avenue and Crane streets.
The water has receded off Kansas
avenue to the platform of the Rock
Island depot-a distance of $50 feet.
1t is the opinion of experts that the
river will go down rapidly from now
on. The Blue. the Republican and
the Solomon rivers have spent their
force and the volume of water spread
over the Kaw bottom will hunt it's
channel quickly.
The situation in the food-stricken
been for the reason that fewer peo-
pie are marooned in houses, in trees
and on islands. Nobody is now cling
ing to trees. Those who had to cling
were either rescued or dropped into
the river.
Enormous Losses,
There is no way of getting at the
amount of damage done by the food
in Topeka and vicinity. The damage
may reach 100000. It may go be-
You'd that and it may be much less.
Crops in the Kansas bottom are de-
stroyed. This makes an enormous
loss to farmers.
Gov. Bailey will communicate with
the federal authorities and hopes he
will have no trouble in securing the
use of whatever tents are needed.
Dispatches from Kansas towns re-
port falling water, resumption of bust
ness and general scaling down of es-
Inmates of loss of life and property.
In the excitement Of the flood it was
difficult to be conservative.
Philadelphia Sends Aid.
Philadelphia, June "A meeting of
the permanent relief committee, of
Philadelphia, was held in Mayor Weav-
er's office, and at it's conclusion
telegram was sent to Mayor Burgen-
thai, of Topeka, Kan, authorizing him
to draw on Drexel & Co., of this city,
to the amount of $4,000. If more
money is needed for the flood suffer-
ers, it will be sent by the committee
on request.

oped liz Wonderfully

oped IL Wonderfully.
How infinitely minute must be the
particles that emanate from the object
which the dog is tracking, SAYS the
London Mail. Yet the matter is ex-
tremely Invisible. The tenth part Of a
grain OF musk will continue for years
TO NIL room with its odoriferous par
dcles and at the end OF that time will
not be appreciably diminished in
weight by the finest balance. A cubic
inch OF air rising from the flame of a
Bunsen burner has been found to con-
tain no fewer than 4S9 GOO, 900 dust par
tcles. A drop OF blood which might be
suspended from the point OF a needle
contains about million of red fat
tened corpuscles. Still, though matter
Is so marvelously Invisible, the olfac-
tory nerves are infinitely more sensi-
tive. Much has yet TO be investigated
with regard to the differentiation OF
the points In these nerves so that they
may discriminate with such apparent
ly miraculous accuracy. Yet even the
results in the scent of dogs show how
marvelously fine IS their discriminating
power. Our sense OF smell, unless I'm
the trained chemist. Is not even SO
acute as that OF the semisavage. The
aborigines OF Peru can in the darkest
night and in the thickest woods distin-
guish respectively a white man. a ne
gro and one OF their own race by the
smell. Much we have gained by civili-
zation. but not without some loss TO our
bodily energies and senses Mans re-
Operative power after an injury is IN
the Inverse ratio TO his social advance
ment. Similarly he seems to become
less acute and delicate in the sense Of
smell as he fares better and lives more
comfortably. The faithful dog puts
him to shame.
