There has been no suffering In Kansas
City beyond that sustained by the
people driven from their homes. Ex-
cellent work was done by the local re.

Of this work are confident that the
city will be able to care for its own
without calling upon the state.
When the flood was at Its height
the muddy, desolate expansion Of the
Missouri's surplus water, known as the
least bottoms" furnished a continu-
GUS moving picture Of difficult rescues.
Men, women and children were ta-
ken from tree branches, telegraph
poles, box-cars and roofs. What ap-
pealed to some of the police as an al
most ludlcrous state Of affairs was
that in many instances the rescuers
had fairly to drag people into the
boats. Like horses huddled In a blaz-
ing stable, they seemed to fear to
leave their homes, although the latter
in most cases appeared unequal to the
task of standing long against the
food.

store buildings, has been the situation
curing the past week.
Above the surface, here and there IN
isolated spots in the country, but
thickly in the cities and towns, white
flags improvised out of bed-clothing
floated from second.story windows,
mute signals Of distress warning res
cuers that people within were in dan
ger of death by drowning or starva-
ton.
Kansas City, NO., Kansas City, Kan,
and Topeka, Kan, were the greatest
sufferers. In all sections where the
people suffetsd from the foods the
prices of provisions leaped higher and
higher as the call for food became
more urgent Eggs, that had been IL
cents a dozen, rose to 50 cents. Other
edibles, especially fresh meats and
vegetables, rose in proportion and
were almost unobtainable at famine
prices.
Much of TINS scarcity was due to the
flooding OF gardens, stores and pack
ing-houses, but it is reported that
merchants whose stocks were I'M
touched by the floods combined and
agreed to raise the prices of their
products to double and treble what
they were before the coming Of the
food.
J Sickness added Its terrors to the
suffering Of the homeless refugees
from the food districts. In Topeka an
endemic of measles and scarlet fever
ia rife. Thieves were busy there and
at Kansas City. Undaunted by the
swift waters which officials braved
with trepidation to rescue human life,
the thieves hoated about in boats,
deserted homes and bust
ness houses. The patrolmen were or
dered to shoot on sight any persons
seen to be stealing.
For two nights the city was in abb
solute darkness. The food prevented
the operation Of either gas or electric
plants. The water.works, too, were

MANY DEAD AT TOPEKA.
Forty Lives Known to Have Been
Lost in Flood and Fire.

Forty Lives Known to Have Beer
Lost in Flood and Fire.
Forty people are known to have LOST
their lives in the flood and flames al
Topeka. Probably a third of these
are unidentified, and reports Of Other
bodies being found are coming In. The
mortuary list may reach fifty.
The Kansas river had fallen four
teen inches from the highest point
reached. Reports from up-river are to
the effect that the stream at all the
point Of greatest danger Is receding.
Experts declare 1t Is now reasonably
certain that the stage Of extreme peril
is past.
The property loss will be s1,0O0,OOO
at least. This includes damage Of
about 100000 in the residence section
of North Topeka, losses by the rail
road companies Of 100000, and by
the Topeka Street Railway Company
Of $4,000. Besides these losses vari.
GUS manufacturing plants have been
seriously damaged. 1t is impossible as
yet to figure out the total damage on
account Of the lnundation of the land.
1t Is also feared that not few struc.
lures will give way under the pressure
of the water.
