ST. LOUIS. Mo-, June 4--During
the past twenty-four hours a rise of
nine-tenths Of a foot has been record
ed in the river, and at 8 a. m. the
stage registers 32.1 feet. The ex-
treme height of the flood here will, it
is believed, be reached by Sunday
morning in stage of 35 feet, which
is five feet above the danger line. I'm.
less heavy rains set in this will be
the highest point, but should there be
more rain, river men believe all rec.
ords since 1892 will be broken and
S6 feet be reached and possibly ex.
ceeded. Railroad tracks along the
levee have been submerged. Trains
on the Wabash which run to suburban
points have been interfered with. and
the station at the foot Of Olive street
has been abandoned. The Burlington
tracks between st. Louis and Hanni-
bal are under water for a consider
able distancf. but the running of
trains has not been materially affect
ed. Passenger service on all roads
running to Kansas City, west and
northwest is still badly crippled on
account of washouts AT Carondolet
tSouth st. Louis) the river is four
miles wide, extending on the Illinois
side to the Mobile & Chic tracks,
Which alone serves as a protection to
thousands of acres Of farm lands. In
North ST. Louis the stream is three
miles vide. No estimate Of the dam
age done can be given until the water
subsidies.

SLIME-COVERED AREA
More Than Five Miles Square at
Kansas City-Bad Sanitary
Conditions.
THE HALF WILL NEVER BE TOLD

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, June 4.-Both
the Missouri and kaw rivers are re-
ceding at much faster rate to day.
A fall in the Missouri of nearly three
Acct from the high point of thirty-five
feet, recorded 48 hours ago, was shown
by the government gauge at 7 a. m.
The gauge at that hour registered
32.93, which was foot and half be-
low the stage recorded at the same
time yesterday. By nightfall it is pre-
dicted that the stage of the Missouri
river will be close to 81 feet. There
was corresponding fall in the Kaw
Notwithstanding the rapid decline the
water about the union depot, which is
the highest point in the flooded dis
trict, is still four feet above the first
floor While the conditions are vastly
more hopeful tremendous undertak-
ing confronts the two cities. as the
waters, as they recede, are disclosing
a wrecwed, slime-covered area of five
miles square. 1t is conceded by sew
eral engineers who have investigated
the situation closely that the whole
OF the terminal system of the rail
roads in the bottoms will have to be
rebuilt, together with bridges, that
alone, it is estimated, cannot be re-
placed at under from $5,00O,0O0 10 Sio,-
100000. In the work of rehabilitation
the greatest precaution will be taken
to prevent an epidemic of sickness
because Of utter lack Of sanitary
measures. Sewers are washed out and
must be entirely replaced and even
the pumping station, although it may
be used temporarily, must ultimately
be removed to higher ground and a
complete new plant constructed. At
Convention hall, where several hun
dred refugees have been housed since
last Sunday, the sanitary conditions
have become such that preparations
are making for the immediate remov-
al of the homeless. What to do with
them is serious problem. Water
was turned on in the business district
on the Missouri side to-day for the
first time since Monday but the flow
was inadequate. The railway system
is improved greatly to-day.

SOLDIERS AT RIFLE PRACTICE
Twenty-secOnd Infantry VIII Put In
Three Months at WINNIE
baEO Range.

Captain Kreps Of the Twenty-second in
fantry went to Wlnnebago agency last night
to make preliminary arrangements for the
target practice which the Twenty-second
is to have there during June. July and
August. The practice for the men will
extend over six weeks and only on bat
TALON will be sent at a time. A practice
march will be made from Fort Crook to the
range on the agency and back again and at
all times during the six weeks conditions
will be made as similar to field conditions
as Is possible.
The range on the agency is not all that
might be desired, but IT is hoped that the
land may be leased for Eve years and that
a more permanent range may be made there.
The department failed in the last session of
congress to secure money for the purpose
Of improving the range at the agency and
at Fort Leavenworth. At the latter place
the principal expense in the creation Of an
elegant range was the grading, and the
officers of the department have secured
one hundred c~orvicts to do the work. In
so doing they expect to do almost all that
the parsimony of congress would have kept
them from. On the agency it is somewhat
different and $1,000 is sorely needed TO
make the range an ideal one.

WILL REAPPoINT J. Il. ADAMS
City Attorney Cornell, IL Reelected,
Will Have His Present Assistant
at His side.

City Attorney Connell announced yester-
day morning that II reelected to his present
Office he will r~eappoint James H. Adams as
assistance city attorney. Mr.. Cornell, who
is a candidate for reelection on the re-
publican ticket said:
Heretofore the mayor has had absolute
control in the naming Of all city officers
who were not, elected, Now that the charter
has been amended the exclusive right Of
appointing the assistant city attorney is
given to the city attorney, but 1 should say
the appointment must be confirmed by the
council. l think it is fair that the public
should know in advance what is proposed
to be done in the appointing of an assistant
attorney, and 1 stand ready to proclaim
my position in regard to the matter II
elected. No one up to the present time,
has approached me in any way regarding
the appointment of any particular person.
Acting on my own judgement and having
positive convictions as to the most capable
and competent man, in case Of my election,
the appointee will be Mr.. Adams
ut is admitted by all familiar with his
work that he has accomplished great re-
suits. He originated and successfully pre-
sented the plea of estoppal against the nom
resident loan companies, which had pur-
chased a large amount Of Omaha property
on foreclosure sales, and has secured a final
decision from the supreme court that in all
Of such cases where the purchaser in the
foreclosure sale had deducted from the APP
praised value Of the property the taxes and
assessment standing against the same the
purchaser was forever estopped from set
ting up the claim that the taxes and assess
ments did not lie against the property. In
this regard alone he has saved the city of
Omaha $3.50, 900. In addition to that he has
sustained all special assessment equaliza-
lions which have been made subsequent to
1897, and it was through his efforts that
the legislature passed the curative bill.
making 1t possible to recover $500, 900 in
special taxes, even though many of them
are contested.

QUEER CROP COMING Up.
the Trouble Of Sorting

His name is McFadden, and he manip-
ulates the wheel on the "box" eleva-
tor in the southwest corner of the city
hail. He dwells in a pretty cottage
out in Germantown, and has a back
ward latent with Horticultural POSSIBLE
ties.
Somebody with q political pull told
him that Uncle Sam would furnish
seeds for the asking, providing the re-
quest came through congressman.
Now, McFadden's servant in the
house is George McCreary, who. being
new in the business and an altruist
when it comes to serving his fellow
man, responded with alacrity, and in Q
marvelously short time the elevator
operator received big package from
the agricultural department.
On opening the package McFadden's
delight turned to disgust, reports the
Philadelphia Telegraph, for instead OF
flower seeds he found seeds warranted
to grow into any known vegetable
Included and neatly labeled were Gu
cumber, sweet and "horse" corn, wa
termelon, caulifiower, spinach, egg
plant, carrot and a myriad Of other
kinds of seeds.
