RETURNING TO WORK.
Relief Comes to the Kansas cftys and
Normal Conditions Are ReappearIna.


KANSAS CITY, Mo-, June 5.-The
water has receded from one-tenth of the
flooded area and the uncovered property
was promptly reOccUpied. The territory
reclaimed included the union station and
a portion OF the railroad yards. The re-
cessiOn of the flood has caused a lively
demand for unskilled laborers to repair
railroads, clean out buildings and carry
away rubbish. and with the Kansas har
vest near it Is expected that every man
willing TO work will have steady en-
ployment for many weeks.
Two bodies were found under a rail-
road coach in the west bottoms today.
They were those of a Greek railroad
1abOrer and negro cook. The verified
dead list now contains ten persons.
George Gould today sent $4,000 to the
Kansas City (Kan.) relief committee and
President Burt. Of the Union Pacific, sent
$1,000. There were other liberal contri-

AT Grindelwald, in August, 1897, the
unusual sight was witnessed Of an
Alpine guide, Christian Almen by
name. toiling up one of the highest
peaks with his wife on his back.
Curiously enough, despite Almer's
fame as climber, his wife had never
previously assembled mountain OF any
kind, so to celebrate their golden WEI
ding he accomplished the prodigious
task of carrying her to an altituSe of
5000 feet in the presence Of a large
gathering of spectators.
In La Sante prison at Paris a couple
spent their golden wedding anniver-
sary few years ago, after having
Travelled half round the world for the
express purpose of doing so. It was
while undergoing sentence in this pris-
on that John Dorman, an American
subject, met the woman whom he ultt-
mately married on his release, where
upon he returned to his native land,
taking his bride with him. When their
golden wedding anniversary drew near
they proposed that they should spend
1t in this prison, and having travelled
to France managed to bring them
selves within the grip of the law for
some trihing ofense. But had not the
facts of the case been revealed their
wish would not have been gratifed,
for they were sentenced to imprison-
ment in different penitentiaries; but
the authorities, struck by the novelty
OF the request, granted it.
To prove that advancing years has
not taxed his strength, William Cantle,
Pennsylvania farmer, on celebrating
his golden wedding, offered to wrestla
with and throw a youth for each year
he had been married, two minutes
breathing space only being allowed be-
tween each bout. Each competitor
was compelled to stake a dollar, to be-
come the property Of the winner; but

novel fashion three years ago in order
to mark the occasion Of his golden
wedding. He announced that he would
wheel his wife, in a barrow, along the
edge of the railway bridge which spans
the canal at Springfield, III. The track
was only eleven inches wide, and all
went well until two-thirds of the jour-
ney was accomplished, when the strong
wind caused him TO lose his balance,
and 1t was only with the greatest Diff

several damage suits are threatened as a
result of high-handed procedure on the
part of the kangaroo court and its patrol
wagon gang.
For several days fake police have been
rushing patrol wagon about the streets
arresting all and sundry, running them to
the carnival grounds and filming them from
81 to $40 as the price Of their release. A
calaboose is established on the ground
and there the prisoners secured by the
Kangaroo patrol were locked up until
they paid their fines.
Last night the patrol crowd undertook
to raid the Northwestern Shoe and Leath-
er association meeting, with the result
that the patrOlmen were captured and
some Of them spirited away by the leath-
er men.
At first this buffoonery passed for fun
and the public stood for it, but the con-
tinuous changing of the patrol bell and
the utter lack Of good taste or judgment
shown by the patrol crowd in making
arrests, got on the nerves OF the people,
and it is doubtful whether the patrol will
be tolerated If it shows up again today.
The women areeespecfally bitter against
the patrol and Kangaroo court One
woman whose husband was mulcted IS by
the court said yesterday that she could
have used the SIS for new hat to excel

BoYIsH GOLDEN WEDDING.
Tests of Strength INDUCED in by Hus-
bands Fifty Years Married.

One of the most remarkable golden
wedding celebrations has just taken
place outside Paris. Every year
contest in which only those couples
who have celebrated their golden we'd
dings during the preceding twelve
months can compete is held, and takes
the form Of a race, each gray headed
competitor having to carry his wife
on his back.
This year no fewer than nine cou-
pies arrived to endeavor to carry off
the prize OF a hogshead of wine and
couple of hams which is given to the
winner. The course is $50 yards long,
and Jean Demorels who passed the
winning post first, covered the dis
lance in 3:17, not bad time considering
that his burden turned the scale at
100 pounds.
1t is probable that a more unusual
celebration, as regards those who took
part In 1t at any rate, will never be
witnessed than that held at Madge-
burg in December, 1897. Herr Will
liam Reid is the leading executioner
in Germany, and on the same day he
attained the golden anniversary of his
bridal day his only son Frederick
notched his silver wedding. Accord
ingly all the. executioners of the Ger

Secured the Only Berth.

The northern colony at Nassau this
spring stayed so late that the time for
closing the hotel came around before
sage to New York. To make it worse, the
little steamer running across to Florida
had cut down its schedule. Then there
was a scramble to secure accommoda-
lions, and for some reason the last boat
touching the island on her trip up the
coast happened to catch the heaviest part
of the rush. and when the last berth was
booked at the Nassau offices, ten days
ahead, there were still a dozen odd pas
sengers without means of getting away
before the hotel closed. That is. the last
berth excepting one officers cabin, which
could be purchased from the officer when
the boat arrived
Consequently there were all sorts of
combinations and schemes among the "un-

quest at Conclusion of
Wedding Ceremony.


The most extraordinary request ever
made by a bride and groom was that of
Ernest Nelson and his. wife Laura, who
were married yesterday morning by Judge
Holt.
Mr. and Mrs. Nelson had no sooner
been declared man and wife than they
began casting about them for a baby
Mr.. Nelson did it boldly as though it were
an every day occurrence, but Mrs Nelson
appeared trifie embarrassed at the dis
play of so hasty a desire for increase in
the family.
No sooner had the marriage knot been
tied than Nelson asked his honor for the
address of Mr.. Savage. whose business it
was to find homes for orphans When
the court displayed curiosity, Mr. Nelson
explained that he was peculiarly interest
ed in orphans at this special juncture
and besought the judge again to give him
the desired information. Meantime Mrs.
Nelson stood a short way from her radiant
young spouse and encouraged him by we'll
timed gesticulations.
You do not want to be adopted. having
just been married?' queried the court
Mrs. Nelson snickered, while Nelson
blushed He replied that it was his de-
sire to adopt a baby and to get through
with the preliminaries as rapidly as pos
sible.
My goodness gasped the court, don't
you think that II ypllaWait a year or So
that is-er-aren't you going to have any
babies of your own %
Mrs. Nelson hid her girlish face in the
recesses Of her cloak, while Nelson smiled
grimly r.
1T is all right judge" he responded.
I don't want to wait. l was an orphan
boy myself and told my foster mother
l would adopt some orphan boy as soon as
I married. s7f~
This curious statement seemed to set
the mind of the judge at rest, for the de-
sired address was furnished and Mr. and
Mrs. Nelson set out to acquire a ready
made family without further parIey.
1t seems that young Mr.. Nelson is the
proprietor OF large farm in Kanabec
county. He thinks it is first rate place
for baby to grow. up in the fear of God
and the knowledge Of agriculture Mrs.
Nelson says that aH babies are delightful
to her and that So long as the one she
gets is strong and healthy she win ask
nothing more.
Il don't want a piano master in embryo

Nelson. but a real baby with the ordi-
nary baby ailments and the average baby
love for people that are kind to it. If I
get such baby, Isshadl be content
Late last ntgnt the Nelson's were spec
ulating on half dozen babies that had
been brought to their attention, and Mel
son explained tot b e GIob at II D
M. that he might end by adopting all of
them. He declared that there was plenty
OF room on the Kanabec county farm for
forty babies.

tee on resolutions reported, through
Chairman Charles c. Bovey, Of Mime

which they declared was the paramount
issue before the miliers.
The memorial Of the British Wheat and
Germ Trade association on this subject
had been referred TO the resolutions COM
mittee, To-day the committee reported
that the memorial truthfully set forth
present conditions IN the export flour
trade and said: 1--WE believe that the ex-
port -four trade will continue to decline
until -four and wheat are put on a parity
as far as regards rates OF transporta-
ton"
The resolution was adopted and copies
Of 1t. together with the memorial from
the British Flour and Corn Trade asso-
citation, were ordered sent to the traffic
manager Of every railroad in the country.
The committee also presented a resoIu-
ton declaring that wheat should not be
clasSed as coarse grain in making freight
rates, but with its products should con-
Stitute a separate class. This was
adopted. A resolution was adopted urg-
ing the steamship companies to incorpo-
