KANSAS CITY SUFFERS VERY
GREAT DAMAGE FROM FLOOD

Kansas City, Mo, June with gas
and electric lights extinguished, the
water works shut down, and the city
practically at the mercy Of the first
fire that shall break out; with railroad
transportation feeble and uncertain,
Kansas City may, if the waters do not
recede within the next two or three
days, be compelled to fight for her very
life.
And tonight the skies are dark and
lowering, the rain is falling heavily,
more stormy weather is sweeping np
from the west, and the Unsuitable river
is holding its own. II is practically
stationary tonight. but what the flood
has it keeps, and there is no certain
promise OF when it will recede The
stage tonight is 34.9 against 30 feet
this morning.
Chief Connor of the weather bureau
says that while the outlook was for
continued rains, ii would necesstate G
very heavy fall il the present high wa
ter is to continue, and whether this will
come or not is something he cannot
tell.
The first authentic information from
Kansas City, Kansas, was received to-
night In that district 20 600 people
are homeless.
A number which cannot be estimated
have been drowned and the property
loss has been heavy. The situation
there is parallel to the situation here,
apparently no better and no worse
There is no great probability that there
will be further loss of life if the river
does not rise very suddenly.
1t is likely that the number of ia
talities in the city will approximate
fifty. Down in the wholesale district

white cloths to attract attention. The
condition of some of these is pitiable.
They have been held prisoners for two
days, threatened with death by drown
ing at one time, by fire at another. and
for the most part without food. Every
effort is being made and they all will
be saved tomorrow. unless the water
rises more. and this seems improbable.
Financial damage is about as great
now as it is likely to become. unless the
water rises much higher than at pres
ent .
Tonight the city is in absolute dark
ness There is not the glimmer of
gas JET or the flare of an electric light,
the buildings which have their own
electric light plants excepted. Steam
for these is supplied from water hauled
from the river.
Power for the three street car lines
that have resumed operations is fur
nished by water pipes from small
stream in one of the valleys.
In all the buildings in the city ele-
vators have been discontinued unless
provision has been made for furnishing
water
The newspapers have been compelled
to discontinue the use of their typeset-
ting machines and because of lack of
power are sticking" type in the good
old way.
In the hotels. all of which are crowd
ed to their utmost capacity, the most
elaborate care is taken to prevent the
waste of water.
So far as rail communication is con-
cerned the city is almost an island.
The only communication, and that
very uncertain, is by road running
southeast.

FEARFUL LOSS BY
GEORGIA TORNADO

Gainesville. Ga, June 2.-Just after
the noon hour yesterday the city was
struck by a terrific cyclone, killing
probably 100 persons, unroofng the
City hotel, other large buildings, and
destroying the Gainesville cotton mills.
The greatest loss of life is reported
in the district of the cotton mills, where
about eighty people are reported killed
and scores injured.
Eighteen persons were killed in the
city between the center of the town and
the railroad station, where four large
stores were blown down.
The storm had driven in many per-
sons at work around the cotton mill
when the cyclone struck, The mill was
a three-story building. The first story
was left standing, but badly wrecked
the second and third floors were COM
pletely demolished and the employees
were caught under the wreckage and
mangled.
1t is estimated that there are at least
seventy-fve bodies under the wreckage
OF the third floor and it is not known
how many persons on the second floor
of the building were killed. The roof
OF the electric car barn was lifted and
the building badly damaged
Nearly every employe in the Gaines
VILE cotton mills was killed, including
a large number of children.
The southern depot was blown to
pieces.
The Gainesville Iron Works were de-
molished and several people perished
in the wreck.
The Gainesville cotton oil mills were
blown down. The old Piedmont hotel,
now used as school and apartment
house, was razed and half a dozen or
more people were killed in 1t.
The Richmond hotel was wrecked
and several perished along with it.

PRESIDENT GREATLY ENJOYS THE
WILD WEST SHOW AT CHEYENNE

Cheyenne, Wyo., June 2.-There was
certainly joy unconfined at Frontier
park yesterday morning when Presi-
dent Roosevelt was given his farewell
entertainment by the cowboys of Wy
oming Ten thousand people filled the
grandstands and overtioWed onto the
track. All Cheyenne shut up shop to
go out and see the chief executive of
the Nation witness some of the cow
mems doings like those in which he
used to indulge. The widest of outlaws
from the horse ranges of Wyoming
were dragged into the arena and rid
den to finish; savage looking steers,
almost crazy with fright and rage
were skillfully roped and subdued and
even ridden. There was a cowgirl race,
a wild horse race, steeplechase and
enough general fun to give one con-
tinual side ache with cheering and
laughing.
President Roosevelt took to the sport
like a schoolboy. He hung over the
railing Of the little stand where he and
the members of his party were placed.
and yelled and shouted with glee and
admiration over the bravery of the
stalwarts in chaps and spurs who
swarmed the arena. bringing all kinds
of wild four-legged beasts to subjection
He shouted congratulations and joshes
by turns to the fellows who did the per-
forming and pranced around the stand
with delight when the sport by turns
grew fast, furious and hilarious. There
was something doing every minute

IMMENSE KANSAS
DISTRICT FLOODED

Manhattan, Kan, June 2.--Not since
the Galveston flood has water created
such terrible havoc and wrought such
destruction of lives and property as has
just been experienced in the Kaw val
ley of Kansas. The territory affected
stretches from Brookville, Kansas, to
Kansas City, district 200 miles long
by from three to fifteen miles in width.
Boatmen who have reached here re-
port many persons missing. Probably
fifty persons were drowned in the coun-
try around here.
Manhattan is in the very center of
the floods fury. The Blue river from
the north and the Kansas river from
the west, which carries the waters from
Republican, Solomon, Saline and
Smoky rivers. besides several large
creek, meet at the eastern edge of the
city.
Ten miles of water surround Manhat-
tan in every direction. The high rail-
road banks alone save the city from
being completely submerged and posi-
Dly eHtlfely swept away.
The rain has descended here almost
steadily since Thursday. To add to the
calamity, all telegraph and telephone
wires are down and the city is in dark
ness, the electric light plant being
flooded with water
Men. women and children have been
carried in boats and wagons to the
hills. Those who were unable to secure
transportation waded through water
waist deep. Over 1,500 people are
housed in the Kansas Agricultural Col
lege buildings.
Four births were reported to have oc-
CURED during the night. one of the lit
tie babies being discovered in the ep-
gine room.

COLORADO STATE AFFAIRS AND
DOINGS AT THE CAPITAL CITY
lndexing Stock Brands.

With more than 10000 stock brands
registered with the secretary of state,
the task of revising the records and
indexing them is complicated by the
similarity in many cases. In this con-
nection the brand department is en-
deavoring to enforce such system as
will give brands that resemble each
other to herds in different sections of
the state.
Such large number of symbols
makes it impossible to prevent what
amounts to duplicating, but the brand
Office is trying to remove confusion re-
garding the ownership of stock by en-
forcing the new system. 1t will be
nearly two years, however, before the
state has set of records that can be
called perfect.
One of the points made by the sec
retary of state is that stockmen who
move their herds to portion of the
state where brand similar to theirs
is in use, should apply to the Office for
another design, and thereby prevent
confusion and the probability of dis
putes. On this subject the secretary
of state has written the following let
ter:
There seems to be considerable mis-
apprehension among stockmen as to
just what is prohibited in the matter
OF conflicting brands.
THE fact of the matter is, that while
the law prohibits the recording of the
same brand for more than one party,
it is entirely silent upon the subject of
conflicting brands, and in order to pro-
tect recorded brand, as much as is
possible, this office has made it rule
not to record brands which conflict
with other recorded brands in the
locality or near the range where the
same is to be used.
LAS there are more than 10000
brands in use in this state and now OF
record in this Office, it is, of course
impossible to carry this rule any far
ther than to avoid a conflict in the
same locality or on the same range
1T is a matter of course that a law
or rule which would prohibit the re-
cording of brands which might con-
flict with brands in use anywhere in
the state, would limit the number OF
brands to be recorded to possibly 1000
or 1000
Frequently parties having record
ed brand see fit to remove stock to a
range other than their recorded range,
and. of course, occasionally come into
conflict with brands in use on the new
range In such cases the only rem
edy which suggests itself seems to be
that the party removing the stock make
inquiry as to what brands are record
ed for use on or near the new range.
to discontinue the use of the brands
in case of conflict with brands on such
new range, and to make application
to this office to record brand which
will not conflict"

applause and admiration they received
President Roosevelt admired every
inch of them, and in a little farewell
speech he made from his stand at the
close of the busting" he paid them
his compliments by saying: AS soon
as here in Wyoming and her sister
states you breed the type of men we
have seen to-day Uncle Sam can be alb
solutely certain that if war or need
arises he will have his cavalry ready
made. With such men as these, who
can shoot well in the open and ride
well, you have ninety-eight per cent.
of what you need in cavalry" He said
that for his part of horseback riding
he preferred to ride his new horse, Rag
allon, or, to call it by its new name,

Students in the high schools of the
city and county of Denver Will no long
er receive any free text books. AT a
meeting of the Board of Education it
was decided to extend the rule that al
ways prevailed in old District NO,
to the other portions of the county:
Only two hise schools will be affected
by the extension of this rule. lhese are
those of old districts Nos, z and H.
None of the other old districts ever
gave text books to students in the hlgh
schools. For this reason the effects OF
the rule will not be very extensive IN
making the rule to apply to the entire
district as formed under the home RUE
amendment the school board merely
extended the conditions that had pre-
vailed in most of the old districts 10
the others. Reports from those sections
in which text books had been supplied
show that not a great many were ap-
piled for. Therefore, not many VIII oe
