thirty-four foot stage at st. Louis
means immense loss. Already thous-
ands of acres of soil, the most product
i've in the middle west, on the Nilsson

Hundreds of thousands have been lost
to Illinois and Missouri farmers
through ruined crops. At half dozen
places between Alton and st. Louis
the water with its lagoons and bayous
is from FIVE to seven miles wide. At
st. Charles. Mo, the water has spread
out over three miles of country, cover

City Has Fears Of an Epi-

sYsTEMA TIC RELIEF WORK ORGANIZED
Sensational Story About John wilkes
Booth.

Topeka, Kan. June 2,-The food sit
uation here today is materially bet
ter. The Kansas river fell during the
night at the rate of an inch an hour.
Standard gauge measurement this
morning showed a twenty-seven inch
fall from the highest point of Sunday.
1t is safe to say that all those ma
rooned 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 adhered to. Many reported miss
ing are showing up, but it will only be
possible to give the actual loss of life
when the waters have finally receded.
1t is believed that several persons
were drowned, and that their bodies
have fioated away. The work of relief
went on through the night, and has
been systemized. The greatest fear in
Topeka is an epidemic of diseases. At
relief depots where refugees are hud-
died together several persons suffering
with contagious diseases were remov-
ed to hospitals as rapidly as possible.
River Falling.
Topeka, June2, p. m.-The river
Is falling rapidly and now is three feet
below the high water mark, and clear
ing weather is in sight.

ing a big flock of sheep on his ranges

MO, where the wethers he purchased
last year from Roswell parties will be
sheared.
MY wool output" said Mr.. Luna,
will this spring amount to 400
sacks, and will be ready for the mar
ket about June Is. The lambing has
been the best in many years past,
about 80 per cent, and the condition
of the ranges were never better for
the raising of sheep"
Mr., Luna stated also that the Mag
dalena ranges the past few weeks have
been visited by some fine showers OF
rain, bringing forth abundance of nu-
tritious grass, and filling the water
holes with good water. The gentleman
will go south tonight to San Antonio,
Socorro county, and thence to the Bos-
que Apache ranch.
Mr.. Luna says that Hon. F. A. Hub
bell has met with the same good luck
in his lambing and shearing, and that
he will return to the city abount the

IOWA FLOOD.
Water Falling at Des Moines and
Other Places.

other Places.
Des Moines, Iowa, June 2.-It has
been practically determined that there
will be no extra session of the legisla-
ture. Governor Cummins is satisfied
that he can supply the needs of the
food sufferers and tornado victims in
an irregular manner, by borrowing
money and relying on the next legisla-
ture to support his course. The food
in Des Moines is still disheartening,
but the water is falling rapidly. The
wide territory that was flooded pre-
sents a sad picture. Train service
here on the main lines Is once more
nearly normal. At Ottumwa the
water has begun to decline, but it is
still rising between Keosauqua and
Keokuk AT Bentonsport, Farming
ton and Bonaparte great damage was
wrought by the food, and half the
towns are under water, but it is near
the mouth of the river at Keokuk that
conditions are the worst today. The
situation is appalling. The river is
six and eight miles wide in places and
in every direction may be seen refu-
gees on roofs of houses and in trees
shouting for succor that seems i'm
possible.
