ments Full OF Water. -

Kansas City, Kas., June 1.-The crest
Of the flood in the Kaw river was
reached at Kansas City at about &c
o'clock at night and the stream began
to fall at the rate of an inch an hour.
1t is thought that all danger Of gen
eral overflow Of the bottoms is past.
About 0:30 o'clock the Kaw broke
over its banks at point just west
of Schwarzschild & Sulbergers pack
ing house at almost the spot Of the
first inundation preceding the food Of
a year ago. 1t ran in a swift river a
block wide along Second and Third
streets to Usage avenue, flooding eel
lars and the lower floors of houses in
the lowest places.
About forty families living in Ar
mourdale, fearing that the river would
continue to rise, began to move out
The Easements of all the Armourdale
packing houses were flooded, and
forces of men worked all day and
night removing goods from the cellars.
Many Armourdale people, even after
they knew that the danger was past,
sat up nearly all night watching the
river. The sewers overfowed and
flooded the streets in many places.
The Nelson Morris packing house is
entirely surrounded by deep lake of
water. Men only prevented water
from invading the Fowler stock pens
by building embankments along the
low places on the river bank. A num-
Der Of bridges have been washed out
Or put in dangerous condition. North

CHINA RAISING LARGE army.
Russian Commander In Manohurla Is
Concerned About II. s.,.

London, May 31.-The Chinese Sit
uation is assuming Importance again
in connection with the war in the Far
East. News from Northern China is
distinctly disquieting. That China is
preparing for some move seems evil
dent, despite the official assurance that
peace Is the only aim Of the imperial
government The preponderance Of
opinion here is that Russia is to be
the objective Of the Chinese offensive,
If it is taken.
The facts are that great stores Of
war material are being accumulated;
that men are organizing and drilling
as soldiers in all parts of the empire.
General Ma already has under his com
mend formidable body Of troops and
it is becoming more formidable daily.
The troops are well armed and ac-
cording TO military men who have seen
them, look as If they should be etfec-
tive fighting men.
There Is reason tn believe that the
Russian commander in Manchuria is
concerned about the Chinese situation
and is watching it closely.

Japanese Powder.

Washington, June Reports re-
ceived here dwell at length upon the
terrific power Of the Japanese Shimose
powder, the nature of which is an abb
solute secret. 1t is not used to propel
the shot but for bursting charges of
the army and navy explosive shell.
The result Of the explosion has as
founded the United States army OBJ
servers. The heaviest armor-piercing
shell with its small cavity is rent into
thousands Of sharp fragments which
are hurled through the air with such
force that they pass through the sides
of an iron ship as would shells from a
machine gun, The Russian warships
Variag and Koriet were found to be
riddled deck and sides by fragments Of
the shells. 1t is not known that any
other nation possesses such a terrific
explosive.

Toulsan's district is the granary of

peculiar case is that Of the little son
Of Mr.. and Mrs. VIM Mcbride Of this
place, as reported by DR.. Jesse l..
Lines, the attending physician.
1.-THE little boy had a severe case
Of malignant scarletina which left
him seml.paralyzed in the right leg
and right arm. He also lost the hear
ing in the right ear.
II treated him and he gained SLOW
ly and had begun to try to use his
limbs some when a travelling doctor
came along and persuaded the child's
parents that he could cure their boy
in short time. They used his medl.
clnes, but the boy grew worse and be.
gan having spells very like epilepsy.
"Mr. Mcbride came to me again and
] proposed giving him a course Of
Dodd's Kidney Pills, which was COM
menced at once. The improvement
was instant and in a weeks time the
epileptic seizures ceased altogether.

Under the caption, 1.-THE Union Pa
ciic Railroad and Louisiana Terri
tory" the new Worlds Fair folder Is
sued by the advertising department Of
the Union Pacific, which has attracted
such general attention, recites these
interesting facts;
while the construction Of the
Union Pacific Railroad, Its trials and
trlumphs, are part Of the history Of
the United States, the important part
played by this railroad in the develop
ment Of the Louisiana Purchase can
hardly be estimated. In the building
up Of this vast domain 1t has been one
Of the chief factors.
One hundred years ago the popula'
ton Of the region was estimated at
10000. Up to the inception Of the
Union Pacific Tin 1861 1t had in.
creased to 3,233,529. In 1900 1t num-
bered over 100000 Of inhabitants.
In this wonderful growth, with its stu.
pendous increase In all the many-sided
phases of commercial, material and
intellectual prosperity the Union Pa.
cifc-as a glance at the map will
show-has had conspicuous share.

country to settlers, and brought great
areas Of an unknown and unproduc'
tive wilderness into close communion

up in every direction.
It may be Of interest to know that
the total number Of manufacturing
plants, and the value Of their outputs,
combined with that Of the national
products as reported in the census Of
1900, give an aggregate production for
the Louisiana region Of $3,50O,000,00O
annually, or 223 times the original pur.
chase price. The same census reports

ment to the United States is attending
the Worlds Fair. He has given out the
following interview:
"The people Of Japan, as we'll as its
rulers, believe we are fighting for,the
integrity and existence Of our nation"
said the ambassador in reply to a
question. ''The belief is as firmly
planted in the heart Of the private SOL
der as in the highest official and it
may be that that alone has done mucl.
for the success Of our armies.
Japan has grown in many ways, it
is true. We have taken great pains in
the last few decades to edysate our
people as far as possible, not in war
alone, but in the arts Of peace. This
war we believe is q fight for peace.
War, however, seemed the only way to
obtain it,"
1t was suggested that there had al
ready been made reports of proposals
for mediation by friendly powers, and
especially by this government.
WAR" he said, lis like trying case

Russia are now in the midst of this
contest They are each trying to make
out the best case possible, because,
after all, the final question must be
left to the will of God. | have heard
much talk about arbitration and
mediation-in the newspapers. have
never heard anything of it officially,
either from the American government
Or any other.
VI do not believe Japan will be at
this time willing to make any over
lures. As have said this war is one
for peace. Japan would no doubt
welcome that outcome, but the initia-
tive, judge, would have to come from
the other side. If Russia would agree
to withdraw from Manchuria and
would consent to the things that we
asked before the outbreak of hostili-
ties, Japan would undoubtedly listen,
But do not think that anything of
that kind is likely to occur just now.
