Mosquitoesl mosquitoes and fiies!!
Masters Anton Pecinovsky and
Slifka say they don't intend to stay II

has been in Rheinlander for seven
years. He has been all over the North

John Carley has been here four years
and says you could not drive him out.
w. w. Pecinovsky has put in 10
acres of corn, 25 acres of oats and
seven acres OF potatoes. Jim Slifka
has nearly as much. Good for you
boys! You have done good in one year

to the people that think this country
is nothing but stumps and timber.
How easy it is to be cleared.

MAKES An APPEAL
FOR OUTSIDE AID
Flood-Stricken Kansas Is In Need
Of Assistance.

. IL. If
Topeka, Kan, June 3.-The food
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 IN
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 hooters whenever they are
caught stealing.
Gov. Bailey's proclamation calling
for outside aid was decided upon at a
nass-meeting Tuesday, when the gov
crnor was requested to issue the call.
1t was decided to make this general
appeal for the people oil along the
flooded districts of the state. as we'll
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 general appeal made, an ap
peal through the fraternal organiza
tions. and other appeals through
various sources.
Water Receding.
The river is three feet below higf
water mark. The fall is plainly in
dicated on the Seymour building al
Kansas avenue and Crane streets
The water has receded off Kansa.
avenue to the platform of the Rocl
Island depot-a distance of $50 feet
1t is the opinion of experts that tn,
river will go down rapidly from nov
on. The Blue. the Republican an,
the Solomon rivers have spent thei
force and the volume of water spread
over the Kaw bottom will hunt iii
channel quickly.
The situation In the food-stricke,
districts is better than it has We,
been for the reason that fewer PEG

md 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 why OF getting at the
amount of damage done by the flood
in Topeka and vicinity. The damage
may reach s2,ooo,0Oo. It may go be.
yond that and it may be much less

Gov. Bailey will communicate witt

method Of determining this with any
accuracy. One mans guess b a. good
- another's.
There Is very little probability Of
much greater financial damage than
has already been done. There have
been some reports of the settling Of
various large buildings in the whole
sale district, but they appear to have
settled in remarkably even manner,
and an expert examination will be re-
CURED to prove that they are in .
dangerous condition.
Fully so people were brought to the
Twelfth street viaduct during the
day by boatmen. None of them had
been in great danger, but had re-
manned in buildings until weary OF
the confinement and had then signal
led for assistance, which was given
as rapidly as possible. Many people
are still in the warehouses and Office
buildings and will remain there until
the food subsidies. They are entirely
safe and fairly comfortable.
Total Deaths Not Known.
The day brought to light no facts
on which to base even an approxima-
ton 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 have float
cd down the Kaw from Topeka, tho
same bodies, drifting in the everchang-
ing eddies of the flood, may have been
counted several times, and it is not
at all certain that observers have not
In some cases mistaken partially sub
merged wreckage for bodies. That is
the argument used. by conservative
citizens in talking to people excited
by wild reports.
Outside Aid Not Needed.
A committee appointed by the Com
mercial club of Kansas City, Mo-, to
ascertain the conditions of the pres
ent food supply, made its report Tues
day evening. This report was SO i'm.
perative that Mayor Reed, after con.
sultation with the relief committee
wired the following reply to offers OF
aid:
II am directed by the committee OF
the Commercial club to say that the
committee this morning anticipated
that there might be food shortage
owing to the railroad communication
being seriously impaired, and becaus.
OF the inability to reach the usua
sources Of supplies. 1tnow seems tina,
we will be able to secure enough foot
supplies. Our packing houses are nov
beginning to get meat by boats ant
otherwise from their plants. Our bust
ness men and citizens generally have
subscribed very literally and we con
fdently hope to be able to fully meet
the situation. The people of Kansas
City will always gratefully remember
the many tenders of assistance from
various parts of the country, all OF
which have been thankfully declined.

TOO MUCH RAIN.
sas, Nebraska and Missouri
Are Damaged.

washington, June 3.-The weekly
crop bulletin of the weather bureau is
as follows: The states of the lower
Missouri valley and portions of the
Mississippi valley have suffered much
from heavy rains, especially Iowa, the
eastern portions of Kansas and Ne
braska, and western Missouri. Drought
continues in New England, the north
ern portion of the middle Atlantic
states and in Florida, and rains are
needed in portions Of the central Gulf
states and in southern Texas. Drought
conditions have been wholly relieved in
the Ohio valley and over the other
parts Of the middle and south Allan
tic states. The latter part of the week
was unseasonably cool in the lower
Missouri valley, west gulf districts and
New England, damaging frosts occur
ring in the last named district. Very
favorable temperatures prevailed in
the Ohio valley and south Atlantic and
east gulf states. More favorable com
ditions than in the previous week are
reported from the Pacific coast states,
much needed showers having occurred
in Oregon and Washington.
Wet weather has caused further de-
lay in corn planting in the Missouri
and upper Mississippi valleys, where
much of this work is unfinished and
the early planted is becoming weedy.
In the eastern portion of Kansas and
Nebraska and in Iowa cornfields have
been badly washed out and much re-
planting will be necessary. In Iowa
the acreage will be materially reduced.
In Illinois planting is practically fin.
ished, and an excellent stand attained.
In the central and upper Ohio valley
planting is also delayed; and early fields
in some portions are suffering for cul.
tivation. In the southern states corr
has experienced q very favorable week.
Winter wheat on lowlands in the
eastern portions of Kansas and Nebras.
ka and northwestern Missouri has
sustained injury from floods, but on the
whole the crop has made satisfactory
advancement, an improvement being
generally indicated in the Ohio valley
lake region and middle Atlantic states
Harvesting is general inTexas, and has
begun in Arkansas and North Carolina
Winter wheat has had slow growth in
Washington and Oregon and the fields
in the eastern portion of Oregon are
unusually weedy. In California the
outlook is not promisingand much late
wheat is being cut for hay.
In Nebraska, the Dakotas and north
ern Minnesota spring wheat has made
splendid. progress, but in southern Min
nesota, Wisconsin and Iowa the crop
on lowlands has suffered much from
heavy rains. In Washington and Idaho
the crop is greatly improved.
On lowlands in the lower Missouri
and upper Mississippi valleys oats
have suffered from heavy rains, but,
on the whole, the crop has done well,
and in the Ohio valley general i'm
provement is reported. In New York
and Pennsylvania the outlook is not
promising. Harvesting has begun in
Texas.

Gainesville, Ga, June 3.-The 5000
inhabitants Of this city have just be-
gun to realize the extent of the APP.
palling disaster of Monday. It 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. But through all
the gloom and desolation that sur.
round the town like pail of dark
ness, there radiates beam of hope
and encouragement-hope that the
death list may not be so numerous as
reported, and encouragement to those
who are so bravely and devotedly as
sisting in the work Of relief. The
story of the storms work of desolu-
ton has already been told. All that
remains is the compilation of an ac-
curate list Of the dead and the chron.
telling and burial Of the victims.
Results of the storm.
Figuring from all available sources
and giving credence only to those re.
ports which are believed to be trust.
worthy the following is q summary
of the effects of the tornado in
Gainesville and its environs: One
hundreds killed; $50 injured, of whom
probably 20 will die: 800 homeless
their residences having been wiped
out of existence; property loss Of
about $5o0.o0O, none of which was
covered by storm insurance.
A concise and accurate statement
of the casualties cannot be rendered
for several days, but the physiciani
in attendance believe that it will not
go very far above 100, although 25 tt
30 are desperately injured and may
die within the next two or three
days.
The death list SO far compiled in
cludes 80 at the Paco1et cotton mills

killed in the demolition of the com
pany's cottages. and SO at the Gaines.

CONDITIONS IMPROVED.
Kansas City Reports the situation
N Much BRIGHTER.

~ 0ucA 0EZ8ntG
Kansas City, Mo-, June 3.-Blue sky
was visible above Kansas City Tues
day afternoon at four o'clock, the
rains have ended, the sun was visi-
bic for the first time in week, and
for this and other reasons it is
thought that the great dangers of the
Hood are past. The waters Of the
Kaw river fell eight inches Tuesday
and are steadily declining at the rate
of about one-half inch an hour. In
the Missouri the high stage of 35 feet
is still maintained, but this is due to
the rise which has been coming down
the Missouri proper. and has been
able to offset the fall in the Kaw. It
as the water of the latter stream,
however, that has caused all the dam
age in this city and in Kansas City,
KAN. and with it at normal stage.
business in Kansas City will shortly
resume usual conditions. This city
has by narrow margin escaped q
serious shortage in food. has faced
the peril of fire, utterly helpless to
avert its consequences, has suffered
millions Of dollars of damage to
property and sustained loss in life
that in all probability never will be
accurately measured. and now il is
commencing to believe in the promise
of better things.
Shortage In Provisions.
The situation shows improvement
on almost every side. The waters are
falling. the waterworlss will resume
operations to-day, the gas has been
turned into the mains once more
and while there is no superabundance
OF FOOD. there is no immediate danger
OF serious shortage. The city has
cared for her own in royal fashion
and is abundantly able to do so still.
but there Is not sufficient food on
hand to permit the relief committees
end the municipal officers to feel
easy over the outlook. Provisions
from outside will be cordially well
coined. and while there is no dire
necessity, there Is urgent need. The
transportation facilities at the pres
rnt time are so limited that not much
freight can be brought in at a time.
rnd there is danger that the demand
may overrun the supply unless the
stock on hand is speedily rcplenished
from outside.
The Financial Losses.
The financial damage is estimated
by prominent business men at any,
where between S1C.ooo, 0c0 and $e5 ,Ooo,-
COO in this city alone, but there is no
their fertile lands by the high water.
Still greater damage in this section is
feared during the coming rise. All
trains from the west and southwest
are arriving from three to six hours
late.
River Six Miles Wide.
Quincy, ILL.,. June 3.-The Mississippi
river just above Quincy is six miles
wide. The stage is 10 feet above
low water mark and seems to be rising
steadily. This is higher than since
1888. Water is within one foot OF the
top of levees north Of here and It is
feared that thousands of acres Of
growing May crops may be inundated.
