SEVEN MORE DEAD FOUND
Topekn's List of victims Now Reaches
Total of Seventy
One.

TOPEKA, Kan, June 4.-The bodies of
seven more food victims were found to.
day. The list of known dead now reaches
seventy-one, with thirty people identified.
1t is the belief that many bodies are yet
in the wreck Scores are reported miss
ing and there is no way of Immediately
locating them. The Union Pacific depot
has been improvised as a morEue and
there the bodies are gathered to await
Identification.
The river today fell thirteen inches This
makes drop of over five feet from the
high water mark. 1T is just now that the
devastating power of the flood is becoming
known North Topeka is a total wreck
There is a town there, the plaything of the
elements, which seem to have worried IL
until they are tired and then left II
stranded. The water is still over a greater
part of the town. In the residence dis.
tricts It is seven feet deep in most places
and there is considerable current. But the
current is no longer strong and flows along
II only anxious to get back into the
bed of the river. The damage is done and
the subsiding of the waters will make lit
tie difference, simply the lifting of the
veil which now hides the wreck of the un-
dercurrent
L ne DuSlneSS part Oh the lOWn Is n sorry
looking place, the damage of the waters
being almost complete. The fronts of
most of the stores have openings broken
through. The contents of most of these
buildings are. ruined. The currents came
rushing thrugh with such force they up
set counters and boxes and whatever was
in their way, and dragged the goods
stored high on the shelves into the water.
In nearly every building which was not
washed away the contents are piled on the
side of the furthermost down stream and
over all there is a slime of fine sand
mixed with little mud. This deposit
varies from a few inches to two or three
feet and is over everything. In the ~esl-
dence districts practically the same con.
ditions prevail
The greatest danger now exists in the
wretched sanitary conditions. The health
board is busy with the problem of SANTA
ton and will do everything possible to
prevent an epidemic. To this end string
ent regulations are being enforced. The
city water probably will be turned on some
time tonight and this will relieve the
situation greatly.
From Manhattan. Abilene, Salina. Flor.

recovering.
The yield of wheat will be much smaller
as the result of the floods, and the finan-
cial loss will be great However, the State
has great resources and is bearing up wen

CUTICURA

Greatest Of Skin Cures.
The Most Wonderful Curative
Of All Time
For TOrtuTiRg, DiStlgurlng

Cuticura Ointment is beyond question
the most successful curative for tortur-

compounded, in proof of which a
single amounting preceded by a hot bath
with Cuticura Soap, and followed in

afford immediate relief in the most
Distressing forms of itching, burning
and scaly humours, permit rest and

all other remedies fail. 1t Is especially
80 in the treatment of infants and chill
dren, cleansing, soothing and healing
the most distressing of infantile hu-
mours, and preserving, purifying and
beautifying the skin, scalp and hair.
Cuticura Ointment possesses, at the
same time, the charm of satisfying the
simple wants of the toilet, in caring for
the skin, scalp, hair, hands and feet,
from infancy to age, far more effect
ually, agreeably and economically than
the most expensive of toilet emollients.
It's "Instant relief for skin-tortured

wILKEsBARREJ Pa, June 4-The
danger of a strike seems to be already
passed, even before the decision of the
convention of miners which is to meet in
Pottsviiie within ten days. This is due to
the statements Of coal companies officials
and superintendents that IL the miners at
their convention should re-elect the three
district presidents as their representatives
on the conciliation board by a majority
vote there would be no further objection
to their eligibility TO serve on the board.
This action probably will be taken at the
coming convention. as the leaders OF the
mine workers are not desirous OF forcing
the issue TO a suspension OF work unless
they can find no other alternative.
