Miss Souther came back to the United

unique little pets in the shape of a pair
of marmose,s. that tiny breed Of monkey
which is very affectionate and easily
trained to do cunning tricks. Everybody
who comes back from Brazil must bring
either marmOsets or parrots, so she tells
me. Also some Of the beautiful drawn

make, and which is far more intricate
and handsome than the Mexican variety.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, June 2.-The Mis-
sissippi river has risen thirty feet, the
danger line at St. Louis, and contin-
ues to rise more than two feet day.
Indications are that the 34-foot stage
at st. Louis, predicted by the signal
service bureau fer Thursday or Fri
day morning, will be exceeded. A "a
foot stage at ST Louis means imm ense
loss. Already thousands of acres of
soil, the most productive in the mid

sides are under water. Hundreds of
thousands have been lost to Illinois

The Optic this afternoon received
a letter from w. H. McGrath, clerk to
the board of directors OF the Las Vegas
4 Hot Springs Electric Light & Power
company. which announced that the d.
rectors would leave St. Louis Tues
day and would be In Las Vegas Thurs
day. This of course will depend upon
whether or not the directors can get
through the flooded districts. When
they do reach the city. they will take
up the matter Of extending the street
car line around the plaza. They favo
reason to believe the plans for the
extension will be carried through For
the interests Of Las Vegas and also
Of the street car company, it is to be
hoped. the company will carry out Its

IOWA FLOOD.
Subsiding, But Distress is
Keenly Felt By the
Uuf0rtunates.
RELIEF BADLY NEEDED
Which Will BE Furnished by
Governor Bradley I'M
mediately.
HOPES FOR REIMBURSEMENT 7

DIES MONIES, Iowa, June Pit has
been practically determined that there
will be no extra session of the legis-
lature Governor Cummings is salts
fed that he can supply the needs Of
the flood sufferers ana tornado victims
in an irregular manner by borrowing
money and the next session will ap-
prove of his course. The flood in Des
Moines is still disheartening but the
water is falling rapidly. The wide ter
ritory that was flooded presents a sad
picture Train service here on the
main lines is once more nearly norm
al. At Ottumwa the water has begun
to decline but it is stiil rising between
heosauqua and Keokuk. At Bentons-
port, Pennington and Bonaparte great
damage has been wrought by the flood
and half the towns are under water,
but it is near the mouth of the river
at Keokuk that conditions are worse
today. The situation is appalling The
river is six and eight miles wide in
places and in every direction may bs
seen refugees ON roofs of houses and In
trees shouting for succor that seemf
impossible.

and there was no sign OF financial diff.
ficulty when the startling announce
ment was made.
Merrill seems to have been right
when he claimed that no legal re-
course could be had against him, that
he was making restitution voluntarily.
The wisdom OF the New Mexicans who
sought rather 20 protect the interest
OF the patrons OF bank and to ensure
restitution TO those who had been
financial losers, rather than TO bring
down criminal punishment upon the
wrongdoer OF many years before, has
Eeen yindicated by the outcome,
though at the time they were sorely
puzzled as to what was the just and
honorable course TO pursue. Merrill
seems 10 have felt for some time that
his remarkable life's story would
soon be known, and on His recent Wis.,
Its TO Boston, Washington and New
York he took little or no precaution
10 prevent himself from being recog-
nized.

Waters subsidina at Topeka.

TOPEKA, Kans., June 2--The flood
situation here today is materially bet
ter. The Kansas river fell during the
night at the rate of an inch an hour.
The standard guage measurement this
morning showed a 27-inch fan from
the highest point on Sunday Ii is
safe to say that all those marooned
in trees and flooded houses have now
been removed to places of safety. At
the Sardou bridge alone, over 200
were landed last night. The previous
estimate Of twenty dead is still adj
hered to. Many reported missing are
showing up, but it will only be pos
sible 10 give the actual loss of life
when the waters have finally receded.
1t is believed that several persons
We're drowned and that their bodies
have ftoated away. The work OF relief
went on through the night and has
been systematized. The greatest fear
now in Topeka is an epidemic of dis
eases. At the relief depots where ref
ugees are huddled together severa
persons suffering with contagious dis
eases were removed to the hospitals
as rapidly as possible.
AT p. IN, the river is falling rapid

WATER STATIONARY
And Fears of Famine Have
About Subsided-No Roads
Running Trains.
10000 RATloNS ARE ISSUED

KANSAS CITY. Mo-, June 2.--There
Is decided Improvement in the situa-
tion this morning and there is gen
eral feeling that Kansas City has seen
the worst of the food. Unofficial
weather guages in the union depot
showed fall of about six inches dur
ing the night and the official report is
stationary, the water being thirty-five
feet at a. m. The danger of fam
inc has passed and the railroads are
confident they will be able to bring in
ample supplies from this time on.
Supt. Goodwin, Of the water works de-
partment announced this morning that
the water supply would be restored by
night fall All the cable car lines
have resumed and are running as us
ual. The power plant of the electric
dimes is under water and these roads
will not be able to run untia the water
subsidies. The financial damage is
estimated by prominent business men
at anywhere between $l5.000,000 and
$25,B00,0OH in this city alone, but there
Is no method of determining this with
any accuracy.
AT noon today it was announced by
the police engaged in the relief work
in the east bottoms that all the peo.
ple who had been imprisoned IL
houses had been rescued and that
there ayas no chance of any fuftneI
loss of life. The story yesterday ol

They were penned up in the alliance

and a pig which they had saved IRON

they made themselves very comfort
able until the police rescued them lat

The police upon the trestle OF The

counted eight dead bodies foatins
past and the bodies of three Others
can be seen caught in the trees at th'
north end OF the Hannibal bridge a
