Scores of People Perish at Topeka.

Topeka, Kans. Especially There is
ground for hope that the worst has
passed. The Kansas River is so slowly
receding as to be hardly percepilbie, but
the fve-mie-wide stream is gradually
settling back into its rightful channel.
Up and down the official gauge has fIut-
tered all day. At night City Engineer
McCabe issued bulletin giving out the
cheering intelligence that the waters had
subsidized to the extent of exactly seven
and half inches. 1t may be some hours
before another drop may be noticed.
With rs or ECO lives lost; millions OF
dollars of property destroyed; with hun
drcds of pistols-shots as signals OF dis
tress, blended with the agonzing cries
of unwilling inhabitants Of trcctops and
roofs of houses, and the waters creeping
upward, and then slowly subsldlng, and
alternately changing hope to dispalr, the
city has passed the most memorable,
Sunday of its existence. Through all
this discomforting condition Of affairs
was added the presence of a cold, dismal
rain.
The work of the heroic rcscners was
not abated in the least by the conditions
which confronted them For long, dreary
hours knce-deep in water, and some
times in water up to their ncckS, they
worked with might and main.

Shelters for tie Homeless.
More than ECO lives lost, 10000 people
homeless, property valued at 100000
to 100000 destroyed, crops damaged
to the extent of several million dollars,
thousands of sheep and other livestock
drowned, great industries like the
Armour, Swift and Cudahy packing
plants temporarily stopped and railroad
traffic interrupted make up the terrible
record Of the food and fire disasters IN
Kansas, Iowa, Missouri and Nebraska.
Hundreds OF miles of country and
numbers of small towns are flooded, but
the indications arc that the waters have
done their worst, and the Kansas River
and other streams arc slowly rcceding.
North Topeka, Kan, the center Of the
havoc of the combined destroying ele-
ments, presents a deplorable spectacle.
The conditions at that point are these:
Dead by drowning, 10 to 200.
Homeless. 5000.
People missing, 200.
Property losses $4,oOo,ooo.
Houses burned, 2oo.

Property losses, $2,o0o,oco to $4,000

The death list is increased by fatalities
in other sections of the flooded districts
in the several states, and the estimated
property losses may be largely increased
Prompt measures of relief have beer
taken. The Convention Hall at Kansas
City and other large public buildings
have been turned into shelters for the

ness and many deaths will result from
the suffering and exposure endured dur

Dried sugar Beet pulp.

Sugar beet pulp has so much mois-
ture in it-four-ffths or more that
economy forbiis the use of it in this
condition for feeding. Thus to meet
the necessities of the case our ecOnom-
ical sugar makers are drying this pulp
and reducing it to such convenient
condition that it may be shipped in
bags anywhere and everywhere to the
feeders of COWS, beef cattle, sheep and
swine-for all of which there is no
more agreeable, nutritious, cheap and
hence economical feed than this.
Horses even like this food and ask for
more in readily under TODD ways. The
economy Of this business operation is
easily appreciated, for it reduces this
valuable aliment for sheep and cattle
Of all kinds to the lowest possible cost
and practically far less cost than the
nutriment in it could have been pro-
dueed by the growing Of the beets by
the feeders themselves. Izca.y Stewart

they can be set anywhere and made to
conform to the size Of the barn if you
want to put them inside. The picture

The foundation is below frost, made Of

braeed with 2 by, 8 or 2 by 10 inch

braces to strengthen the silo.
A second thickness of siding should
be put on to break joints. Do not use
paper between the boards, as it will
rot out. I have silo built of single
boards of six inch matched pine. The
lumber was as dry as I could get it
and put together as tight as possible,
but found after the first year that
those boards would shrink apart a lit
tie and that many places would never
get tight again. That is the danger of
the single board silo and also the dan

cuBA's CONGRESS MEETS.
President PaIma's Message Reviews
Republics Progress.

Havana, Nov. 8. The regular session
of congress has opened The message
of President Palma contains $4,000
words. 1t reviews the condition and
progress of the republic. It's recon-
mendations are chiefly of a general
character The much discussed loan
taxes are not gone into at length, and
no amendment to the loan law is sug-
gested.
Referring to the relations between
Cuba and the United States, the mes
sage says:
sOur political relations with the
United States have been definitely set
tled by treaties founded on the terms
of the constitutional appendix, and the
latter could not be eliminated from the
constitution by the mere reading of
these treaties. Congress can appreci-
ate that within the precise terms of the
Plat amendment Cuba has obtained
not a few advantages. OF the two
forms of cession Of naval coaling sta
tons by sale or by lease the one least
baneful to Cuban sentiment was adopt
ed, and the smallest limit as to tie
number of stations granted was made.
The regulations in the leases contain
other limitations favorable to Cuba.
The government is acquiring territory
within the stations and will soon form
ally deliver the areas marked out
.sThe Honorable President Roosevelt,
fo4 whom the people of Cuba feel such
profound gratitude, has been faithful
to his word and has convened the
American congress in special session
for the purpose of taking action on the
pending reciprocity treaty, from which
we hope to receive such great benefit. !"
