MODERN ELOQUENCE is the masterpiece

made and are making the history of our times.
In these volumes the reader runs the whole
gamut of eloquence, from laughter to tears, from
pathos to ridicule; keen satire is mingled with
unctuous humor; the strong, trenchant utterance

Topenka, Kan: North Topeka is a
scene OF utmost desolation. Not a
square foot of land can be seen in any
direction There is but small chance
of any of the residences being left
standing at the end of the food period.
Sherry, Oakland ana the region about

but the situation is favorable in these
places compared with what West
North Topeka is undergoing. The plan
of trying to cross the river near what
remains of Kansas bridge has been
abandoned.
Nearly all the fires have been put
out by the rain, which has fallen all
night. It was soon recognized that
row boats would be OF no use in bat
Ting with the currents. Steam launch
es must be secured at once, and to
this end rush messages were sent to
the superintendent and agent of the
Rock Island at St. Joseph and to May
or Bergundthal and the secretary of
the Commercial club, as follows:
Topeka wants three to six steam
launches and twelve clinker boats
with men to handle; send three by spe-
cial train at once to rescue people in
North Topeka
The agent was ordered to load the
train at once, secure clear track and
proceed to Topeka The train was to
feel its way as far as possible on the
submerged tracks and then the boats
viii be launched. Topeka citizens

Asked if he had anything to say
