KANSAS ASSEMBLY ADJoURNs.
Extra Session Ends After Passing
Over Fifty Flood Relief
Measures.

Topeka, Kas, June 27.-The extra
session of the Kansas legislature, FRI
day afternoon at two o'clock, adj
iourned. Over so bills were passed.
only two of which were of general
nature. Most of them gave Kansas
counties the right to restore bridges
that had been washed away by the
food. County commissioners are au-
thorized to aid food sufferers from
the county fund to any extent that
seems best to them. To the last, an
effort was made to pass bill appro-
priating money for the relief of the
sufferers, but it was defeated. This
action of the legislature has caused
a great amount of criticism.
Gov. Bailey, in statement, ex-
planned his attitude toward relief
appropriation in the course of which
he said: 81 feel that the criticism of
nv attitude in this matter is un-
Just. There is very little if any desti-
tuition In the flood district. Whatever
destitution there is has been or will
be relieved by the local authorities,
the local charities and the assistance
which comes freely from the outside.
The need is great through the Kansas
valley, but the cases of destitution are
few"

BEcKHAM ANSWERS CRITICS
Governor of Kentucky Declares rei-
low Journals Can Not Change
Hfa Course.

Frankfort, KY, June 2T.-Gov. Beck
ham, in response to a great many re-
quests, Friday gave out statement IN
reference to his position in the
Breathitt county matter. A great
many letters have come to him in the
last few weeks, he says. some from
those who are friends, some from
those who are not, urging him to use
radical measures in dealing with the
trouble in Breathitt county, to de-
clare martial law and to have trials
of the accused by courts martial.
Speaking of criticisms from outside
Of the state, Gov. Beckham says:
"These criticisms, friendly or un-
friendly, have not swerved me in the
least from the pathway of what l
have conceived to be my duty and the
just responsibilities of my high office,
I care not one particle for the
pharisaical eensure OF those yellow
journals of the north and east, whose
mercenary greed for a saleable ro-
nance and whose partisan hatred OF
a southern neighbor make them de-
fame and misrepresent the great and
good people of all Kentucky. because
one county out of 119 within the state
has recently been the scene of certain
crimes and violations of the law.
Speaking of the insistent demands
for declaration of martial law, Gov.
Beckham stated that his critics lin
their impatience have forgotten that
the governor of Kentucky has abso-
lutely no such right, and If he should
attempt to use such arbitrary power
he would be and ought to be i'm
neached" !"

the Government Authorities
Got n Line On 1t.

New York, June 27.-An investiga-
ton has been ordered by the authori-
ties at Washington of an alleged gold
mining concern with offices in this
city. For three months past, it is
said, the concern has been advertis-
ing freely in all the foreign newspa-
pers. One of the advertisements,
translated from a Greek paper pub
lished here, reads:
"Have you five dollars? Do you
wish to make them ten within a
month, one hundred within a year
and one thousand within a short
time?"
The board of managers named in
the advertisement is composed of
men asserted to be filling high pub
lie positions such as senator of the
state of Ohio" Comptroller of the
United States treasury" treasurer
of the United States" etc. There al
so appears the name of member as
serted to have been formerly secre-
tary of the treasury
None of the names given, however,
is known at all in public life in this
country.

Cross Kansas River.

Kansas City, Mo-, June 29.-Street
cars crossed the Kansas river about
noon Sunday, connecting the two
Kansas Citys after an interruption of
exactly four weeks, caused by the
great flood. Only one of the three
inter-city street car lines is in opera
ton, and this one uses a temporary
bridge. Armourdale is now easy of
access, but Argentine will be cut off
for weeks yet. There is still no wag-
on bridge across the Kansas river, but
two will be completed this week. Six
bridges are now in use, but only one
is a permanent steel structure. In
replacing the destroyed bridges
stronger and higher roadways will be
rebuilt, to withstand future floods.
Otherwise the inundated district will
be little changed.
Fifteen hundred men and 300 teams
worked in the stock yards Sunday. re-
moving mud and rubbish. 1t will cost
$4,000 to clean the yards, and repairs
will REQUIRE a large sum.

Mississippi State News
A Geological Survey.

The agitation for geological sur
vey of the State is once more attract
ing attention, and measures for this
purpose will probably be intro
duced at the next legislative session.
Among many people it is not be-
heved that Mississippi possesses
mineral resources rendering it worth
while to make this expenditure, but
there is a general demand for the
government bureau of geology to
continue its soil survey in the State,
which will result in practical good
to the farmers by showing them the
products to which the various soils
are best suited for cultivation.

was defeated in the senate, where
