TWO LIVES LOST.
Two men lost their lives today while
endeavoring to save others. Joseph Keran
was drowned while endeavoripg to save
some people from the Adams house In
Union avenue across from the Union
station, and Edward Brooks lost his life
in Liberty street, where his skin was
overturned by an eddy while he was en-
deavoring to get another man out of a
building.
Fully fifty people were brought to the
Twelfth street viaduct today by boat
men. None Of them had been in great
danger, but had remained in buildings
until weary of the confinement.
Many people are still in the warehouses
and office buildings and will remain there
until the flood subsidies. They are en-
tirely safe and fairly comfortable.
There is very little probability of much
greater financial damage than has al
ready been done.
WEATHER FORECAST.
Observer OConnor of the weather bu-
reau. said at o'clock:
1.-The Missouri river has remained sta
tionary. 1t is still at "a feet, where 1t
was all day yesterday. The Kaw is fall
ing steadily and 1 think that the Mis-
souri, will commence to decline tomorrow
Light rains have been falling in central
and western Kansas, but they are not
heavy enough to affect the water stage
one way or the other"
FLAGS OF DISTRESS.
Flags of distress from partially mum
dated buildings in Armourdals could be
during the
day and a number of rescues were eff
fected.
The day brought to light no facts on
which to base even an approximat ton of
the number of deaths in the flood. Pos
sibly ten bodies have been seen floating
since Sunday, but estimates from this
are valueless as some of the bodies may
have been carried down the Kaw from
Topeka. the same bodies drifting in the
ever changing eddies of the flood may
have been counted several timees. and OBJ
servers may have mistaken partially SUBJ
merger wreckige for bodies.
FEELING OF PRIDE.
There is feeling among the leading
business men that Kansas City should
show the country at large that it is not
disabled by the flood, but that normal
rivers shall recede.
Mayor James A. Reed of Kansas City,
Mo, said this evening:
"Of course the personal suffering Is
great and there possibly may be some
individual failures, but the great money
loss comes upon associations that Will not
be crippled by the blow and this loss
will not affect the general prosperity of
the city. In thirty days it will be hard
to realize that there has been such
flood"
THANKFUL.
A committee appointed by the Com
mercial club OF Kansas City. Mo-, early
today to ascerta ain the conditions of the
present food SUI ply, made it's report this
afternoon. The report was SO imperative
that Mayor Reed, after consultation with
the relief committee, wired the following
reply to offers of aid:
II am directed by the committee of the
Commercial club to say that the COM
mfttee this morning anticipated that there
might be a food shortage owing to ina
bility to reach the usual sources of sup
ply.
1T seems that we will be enabled to
secure enough food supplies. The people
of Kansas will always gratefully remem-
Der the many tenders of assistance from
various parts Of the country, all of
which have been thankfully declined.
JAMES A REED. Mayor"
