STREAM MAY CHANGE COURSE.
River Has Cut Channel in Garden
Street, North Topeka.

Topeka, Kan. June 5.-The city en-
gineers force will attempt TO make some
estimate of the condition in which the
food has left North Topeka in respect
to the channels in Streets which have been
cut by the currents. II has been the
opinion of the city engineer previous 10

banks the present bed of the river would

the river formerly had its course through

BURY and BURN THEN
Topeka Having Hard Time to
Dispose of Remains
STENCIL Is UNBEATABLE
Dead Animals Lodge in Every
Conceivable Place

Topeka. Kan, June 5.-The emergency
board and the board of health are up
against hard proposition in the disposal
Of the dead animals. of which there are
q large number lodged in all parts of the
food district. Work commenced this
morning in the congregation of these.
under the direction of Mayor Bergundthal.
AS large force as can be secured will
be put in the flooded district and the ami
mails will be cut loose and steered to a
point past te railroad east, outside Of the
city limits.
The first plan suggested was to cut the
dead animals loose and let them drift
down the river. The emergency board
has decided that this is a very unsani-
tary method, and would not be treating
the people right who live below. Besides
there is a federal law against this.
1t is probable that the dead animals
will be either burned outside Of the city
limits or buried in a tract east of town.
The boar dof health has come to the con-
clusion that this is the only way to handle
the matter. There is one thing to be done
and that soon. The animals on the inside
of buildings must be dragged out and
moved to some place outside of the main
part of town.
Yesterday was the first the stencil was
noticeable to any great extent. 1t is now
beginning to become unbearable. Work
men who were on the North Side reported
.
sickening. IT is estimated that there are
800 dead horses and cattle within the linn
its of North Topeka. These are lodged in
every conceivable place and unless some
thing is done quickly the district will be
a field of carrion. The number of chickens
and smaller animals is unestimable.
DR.. MENNINGER'S REPORT
At the meeting of the board of health
last evening, DIR. C. F. Menninger made
a report of the conditions as the COM
mittee found them on a trip made yester-
day forenoon. The committee, composed
of Dr. c. F. Menninger. DR.. L. NJ. Powell
and DR.. Mcclure made a complete round
of the flooded district in North Topeka.
Dr. Menninger said:
ION the trip We saw perhaps twelve or
fifteen bodies OF horses and cattle. No
special effort was made TO find dead
bodies and there is every reason to sup
pose there are scores of them. In many
stables and barns there is every reason
to believe there are many more. We saw
a number of animals on porches that
were practically dead from starvation or
exhaustion
Mr.. Meninger believes the current will
remain in North Topeka for a sufficient
length of time at least so the bodies can
be floated to some point east of town
where they can be burned or buried. Prob
ably the idea Of burning and burying will
each be carried out The idea Of floating
animals down stream was abandoned yes
terday and none of this will be done
that can be prevented.

IN NEOSAO VALLEY.
Reliable Report of Damage Done is
ENCOURAGING.

Emporia. Kan. June 5.-From the re-
ports of the food from UP the NeOsho it
is evident that the people in this vicinity
hardly know what a flood the farmers
underwent up the river. Miss May
Herbert, a teacher in the city schools
here went to her parents's home near
Americas and returned yesterday. Miss
Herberts parents were compelled to move
from their homes three times last week
Twice the river rose to a threatening
state and twice the Herberts moved away
and then back, for the water did not get
into their house. Then last Friday morn
ing the river was to be seen rising, but
was not TO the danger line when a wave
of water five miles wide. came rushing
across the fields. A neighbor in a lumber
wagon came to the rescue of the Her
berts and almost before they could get
into the wagon. the water was up to the
wagon bed. Miss Herbert's sister ran to
the barn TO unite the horses as soon as
the water swept down on them and be-
fore she could unloose the halters the
water was so deep in the barn that her
friends had to go after her in boat

TWO OPERATIONS
First You Must Cure the Grip,
Then Danish Its After-Effects

Il was worse after the grip had gone
than l was when | had it" says Mr.. J.
L. HamaIle, proprietor of the Cosmo-
politan hotel, at No. lis South Madison
avenue, Peoria, Ill Many others who
are still suffering from the effects Of
an attack of the grip will appreciate the
statement Mr.. Hamalle continues:
The disease left me in bad shape. I
had night sweats, sleep did not refresh
me, l could not eat. grew weak and had
severe chills. Then, worst of all. rheu-
matism set in and nearly crippled me.
After spending considerable money
for medicines that only made me worse.
1 began taking Dr. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People. Then 1 began to i'm
prove and by the time six boxes were
taken I was well and strong again
Since then 1 have always kept DR.. VIII
liams' Pink Pills on hand and my family
has taken them at various times, always
with good results"
After every attack of grip the health
is shattered the blood becomes poor,
the flesh falls away. the sufferer grows
irritable, and even slight exertion causes
shortness of breath. These are dangerous
symptoms and indicate that the sys-
tenn is in a state that invites pneuomnia,
bronchitis or even consumption.
specific, however. has been found which
not only will quickly restore the health
after an attack of the grip and expel the
lingering germs. but working through
the blood will render the system proof
against the disease. In hundreds of
cases it has been shown that DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People have
accomplished this result. The power Of
these pills in the vast number of dis
cases due to impure blood or to derange-
ments of the system has been demon
strated in thousands of instances. No
one who is suffering can rightfully
neglect this way to restore health.
Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People
