BOATS SENT TO SCENE
FROM OTHER POINTS

From all over Eastern Kansas boats
are being rushed here for the rescue
of sufferers. Shortly after daylight
nine boats arrived from Ottawa on a
special train and they were put into
active service at once. Soon after re-
ports of drowning began to come in. A
boat containing eight men was swept
away in the swift current about Z
o'clock, and, as far as known, all were
drowned. A boat containing two men
was capsiZed. The boats were too
frail to live in the swirling waters.
More boats arrived from Emporia at
10 o'clock, and hurry messages have
been sent to other towns for more.
The river remains stationary, after
having fallen seven inches. Heavy rains
were reported from up the stream,
however, and it is feared that another
rise would set in. Eighty seven people
are high and dry in the Page elevator.
If the building holds together they
will be rescued. In the B street col
ored Baptist church nearly a hundred
people have been standing since yes
terday. Many of them have doubtless
fallen from exhaustion before this and
drowned. The building stands intact,
however, and those who are left alive
may be rescued. AS seen from a high
place on North Tyler street, near the
Rock Island bridge, the stream ap-
peared to be widening. The bridge had
not gone out, as was reported last
night, but it was getting very shaky.

took boat Friday night and made his
way to house in the hope of making
some rescues. A woman and her baby,
names unknown. were in the house and
Parsons took them into his boat.
They had proceeded only a short dis
tance when the boat capsized. Par
sons contrived to get himself and the
others up into a tree and there they re-
manned until 3 o'clock this afternoon,
when rescued. They were brought to a
place of safety. but probably will not
survive.
Two small steamboats, were put into
service at 1880, one from Ottawa and
the other from st. Joseph. BY this the
work of rescue was greatly facilitated.
OHe OF the DOatS brought eighteen
people over and landed near the des-
sicating plant. They f1oated down half
mile and became lost north of the
Melan bridge. This was before the
Hood had reached it's height. Fourteen
people had entered a stranded street
car, but soon had to seek the roof.
Standing in this uncertain position for
twenty-four hours, their condition was
desperate, until they were taken off
at 4:45 with the aid of the big cable.

Der of dead at 175. The higher num-
Der of dead is merely matter of
guessing. Twenty members of res
cuing parties tell how they saw peo-
pie drop from houses, only to be swept
away by the flood, and others tell of
men who, terrified at the approach of
the fire, dropped into the water,
where they sank and did not reap
pear.
This estimated number of dead does
not include the large number classed
as missing, who cannot otherwise be
accounted for. Neither does it in
clude the number who are supposed to
have lost their lives in the fire. In
the latter class there is absolutely
no means of arriving at even an APP
proximate number of victims. The
water is so high and the current so
strong that all that can be done now
is to rescue those in the buildings sur
rounded by water. 1t will be at least
three days before the correct number
of dead will be known. Work of res
cuing the victims of the flood is be-
ing pushed with vigor. Better results

organized force this than be-.

use today, but they were useless in
battling against the mighty current.
A wire cable has been stretched
across the Kansas avenue bridge. To
this will be attached a sand dip, and
refugees will be brought across in
this manner. If the flood does not
rise any further and those not yet
reached can keep their places a few
hours longer, there need not neces-
sarily be a much larger loss of life.
Large contributions have already
been received for the benefit of the
sufferers. The amount given by To-
peka citizens alone will aggregate
100000. To this is to be added an
immense quantity of clothing, pro-
visions and general supplies. Outside
towns have generously offered aid, no.
table among them being Galveston,
Tex.
Tonight the portion of Topeka not
affected by the flood is crowded with
refugees and people from the sur
rounding country, who have come to
witness the flood conditions. There is
great anxiety tonight as to what to-
morrow will bring forth. If the river
shall not receive any more f1oodwater
west of here the Improvement in the
situation here will be marked. If the
water shall rise at Manhattan and
Wamego, tomorrow will see a repeti-
ton of the worst of the flood scenes,
and the distress here will be greatly
intensified. Either contingency is en-
tirely within the range Of possibility.

Cancers Cured by Eating Salt.

Capt. Rost, a young Indian medical
officer, who for nearly three years has
been investigating malignant cancers
bacteriologically in the Rangoon hos
pital, announces in the Indian Medical
Gazette an important discovery.
He has found, he says, in both car
cinomata and sarcomata cancers dis
tinct germs of saccharomycetes which
can develop only when the natural
chlorine in the tissues falls below the
normal quantity. Following this clue,
Capt. Rost devised a treatment to re-
inforce the chlorine in the body by a
special diet, enabling large quantities
of common salt, which contains chlor-
inc, to be absorbed.
Tried on eight cancer patients, the
treatment produced what is declared
to be complete cure of one sufferer
and improvement in others.
The discovery must withstand the
test Of further scrutiny before the
medical profession Of India will be in
clined to admit that a cure has been
really found, but so far as experiments
go, they open great possibilities.
