At 2.30 this afternoon the river had
fallen S6 inches and was apparently
going down at the rate Of two inches an
hour. street car traffic to the asylum
mas been resumed.
The river is steadily receding today,
several hundred people have been re-
moved from North Topeka, the 1mme-
diate wants of those who remain have
been relieved, the work of relief has be-
come systenatized, and the flood situa-
tion generally is considerably improved
over Sunday. when the entire city was
panic stricken by the calamity which
had befallen the north side
Probably not less than 300 people were
brought over from the north side in
boats Monday. and 400 were taken to
the Reform school by the boats from st.
Joseph The fire station was empty last
night. with the exception of a few men
who were left on guard, and who were
supplied with boats
The Grant school was also emptied by
last night the people being taken to
the reform school. It was feared that
the building might be in danger of col
lapse.
The chief centers of population in
North Topeka Monday night were the
wooIen mills in the east part and the
Davis elevator in the west part There
are also many houses with people in.
Boatmen who made the rounds of the
entire district late Monday afternoon,
generally with supplies. reported that
those who were left were as rule out
of danger and had plenty of eatables
to tide them over for a day or two The
greatest need was water. and boats
with supplies of water were sent out
from the commissary station late in the
afternoon as fast as it could be gotten
off
The commissary station which has
been established on the river bank in
a pasture a block west of the foot Of
Western avenue is working very sys-
tematicaIly. Boats are hauled up there
when they land further down, and a
record is kept of those who embark III
| then. again. Only experienced boatmen
are allowed to go over, as some have
gone who could not properly manags
the boats and have themselves become
naroone5.
The contributions to the relief fund
continue. The Scottish Rite Masons
have subscribed 81. 900. and A. O. U. W
lodge No. IA has subscribed $500.
over 100 women and children were
taken out by a Rock Island train north
from the Reform school last night, and
a considerable number of others. They
were taken to the towns to the north

states that he knows it to be fact that
robbers are coming into town as fast as
the trains can bring them.
The son Of Topeka policeman who
owns a boat says that he was approac ched
by two men who wanted him to &C into
a deal to rob business houses on Kansas
avenue last night. The boy turned up
the scheme TO the police and the two men
are now being sought
Two other boys down the river who had
q boat had an experience with a couple
of men, supposed to be crooks. The two
men tried to persuade the boys to lend
them their boat. Failing in this. they tried
to scare them away, but one of the boys
drew a revolver and forced the men to
quit their attempt.
There is a gang of gypsies camping in
the south part OF town who ought TO he
sent on their way They have just come
here from Lawrence. and it is said they
were given hours to leave that town. 1t Is
a branch Of the Stanley family of gypsies,
which has been here in town before. The
people living in the south part of town say
that these gypsies are begging, stealing
and swindling and ought to be run out Of
town.

The object Of the patrol is to give alarm
Of fire at the earliest possible moment It
is by receiving early notification Of FIRE
that the department expects to be able to
cope with a blaze if one starts.
Chief Wilmarth said today. 81 can not
make it too emphatic that everyone should
exercise the utmost precautions against
starting a fire. We have been fortunate

ones in North Topeka It may be a week

various parts of the city however, con

Our greatest need is for boats. We

people in the bottom lands awaiting

a woman who have been penned up in
a high building in the wholesale district
near the union depot have not been able
to get out
A meeting of members of the live
stock exchange was held at the Com
naercial club this morning and the food
situation gone over in a thorough man
ner.
Reports from men conversant with
the supplies of different kinds We're
read and it soon developed that the
city was in a fair condition as regards
food, taking into consideration the de-
vastation which had been wrought in
those portions of the city where the
chief supplies came from. One packing
company sent word that. they were pre-
and salted that the city would need.
Another report said that traffic on the
electric elevated road had been patched

the meat from the packing house to the

reported that he had flour. bran and reed
enough in the upper stories to supply the

Further reports indicate that all other
staples were to be had in quantities which,
if husbanded. would provide the city for
several days. probably till traffic from the
east was brought more regular.

In sending out the boat loads Of deputy
sheriffs to protect North Topeka, sheriff
Lucas gave them all definite instructions
to shoot down anyone found plundering.
It is only by making an example Of 2
few of the supposed thieves that North
Topeka can be protected. The Scottish
Rite Masons last night passed resolutions
advocating the placing Of North Topeka
under martial law and expressing the
opinion that Governor Bailey should cail

bodies oating past there this afternoon
and the bodies Of three others can be seen
caught in the trees at the north end of the

These bodies evidently are of persons
drowned at some point west OF Kansas

FALLING IN WEST.
Encouraging Reports from the
Kansas River Towns.

Good news comes from the west
which shows that the river is falling.
A telegram was received IN Topeka
this morning. sent from Solomon last
night. Tt came from people who were
two and half miles south of Solomon.
There are no telephone connections. so
it is evidently possible to cross the river
there, which is just below the junction
of the solomon and Smoky Hill.
Abilene, which had been connected
with Topeka Monday, was again cut off
