Mr.. Low RETURNS.
Takes Hopeful View of Situa-
tion in Kansas.

M. A Low. who has been absent from
Topeka for the last two weeks, returned
home yesterday evening. During the
flood he was at st. Joseph, but was I'M
able to get to Topeka and being called
east returned home by way of New
York.
Bad as the flood disaster is, Mr.. Low
takes a very hopeful view of the situa-
ton. He believes that matters will
quickly take care of themselves with
the generous assistance already given by
the relief committees and individuals.
He said that in coming up from Kansas
City Saturday in half the fields farmers
were blowing for corn; this week it
would be in and by the Fourth of July
it would be booming. He believes Kan
sas will harvest one of its greatest crops
of wheat
He says that Vermont, New Hamp-
shire. a portion of Maine and Maryland
and other eastern localities, by reason
of the drouth and forest fires, are in a
deplorable condition. That in many
places there is no wheat and no hay;
that people there are in far greater need
Of assistance than Kansas.

OF course there is little doubt but the
prisoners viii be bound over by the jus
tice of the peace to be tried in the dis
trict court of Cheyenne county. Dewey
is exceedingly anxious to secure bail.
and TO do this will be the main effort OF
his attorneys at the hearing. He can
give any amount of bail required. If
the prisoners are bound over without
bail, Governor Bailey has ordered the
sheriff Of Cheyenne county to remove
them to some other county for safe
keeping where the militia will not be
necessary for their protection.
AdJutant General Kelsey has also
informed Captain Cunningham, who is
in command of the state troops at St
Francis. of this order. Captain Gun
bingham is instructed to conduct the
and guard them till the train leaves,
and then the sheriff viii have to look
after them himself. Where they will
be taken 70 is not known
There is q possibility that they may
be admitted to bail and Dewey
friends and attorneys will doubtless be
prepared to put up all the bail which
may be required. But even if they are
admitted to bail the Deweys win hard

settlers would doubtless avenge the
