FLOODS DOING MUCH
DAMAGE IN KANSAS

Kansas City, June ALI tributaries
of the Kaw river in Kansas are rising
rapidly crd a serious flood is threat
ened. Heavy rains, continuing for
two days at time, have prevailed all
over Kansas at various times within
the past thirty days. Twice within
that time most of the streams have
OVERLOOKED their banks, washing out
railway tracks and crops, destroying
much property and rendering several
hundred persons temporarily homeless.
But each time there came lull in
the rainfall, the rivers receded and
almost normal conditions prevailed. In
the past twenky-four hours, however,
further heavy rain storms have again
swollen the streams, this time beyond
the height experienced in the two for
mer rises. The rain continues to fall
at many points throughout Kansas
and the ultimate result must be that
the Kaw, already bankfull at many
places along its course, will overflow
it's banks at the mouth at Kansas City.
While the conditions are not such as
brought on the great June flood of last
year and although no great amount OF
damage is expected in this city prep
aratlons are being made to meet the
situation as it may develop. Railroad
traffic is demoralized and already
many through trains both east and
westbound are stalled. The principal
streams affected are the kaw, the
Smoky Hill, the Republican and the
Marais des Cygnes. So far no casual
ties have been reported.
At Newton, Kan, over 600 persons
have been rendered homeless by a
sudden rise in Sand creek, which
flows through the north and west por-
tons of that town. The flooded dis
trict embraces about one-fourth of
Newton and in many houses the water
stands as high as the second story
windows. The rise in the creek was

Caused by a CloIdburst

Caused by a Ciouoburst
and the water rose so rapidly that
hundreds OF persons were caught in
their homes. Rescue parties were i'm
mediately formed and hundreds of
men worked all night rescuing the I'M
fortunates. Morning found all removed
to places of safety, but with the water
still rising and further heavy damage
likely. There were many narrow es-
capes and much suffering. The home
less have been taken into the homes OF
the residents in the upper part of town
and furnished with food and clothing.
At Emporia three inches of water fell
within a few hours and the Cotton
wood river rose during the night at the
rate of six inches an hour, flooding the
business portion of the town and caus-
ing much damage. Commercial street
was converted into a river and boats
were used. At Council Grove the city
is threatened with a flood as serious
as that of last year, when the property
damage amounted to over 100000. In
the lowlands dozens of families have
already moved out their household
effects.
At Parkville the water in the Neo-
sho is within two feet of last years
record and still rising and the mer-
chants are moving their goods to up
per stories. At Ellsworth the main
street is flooded. In the vicinity of
Lorraine and Sterling, Kan, the rain
was accompanied by heavy wind
storm, many small houses were blown
down, crops were damaged and much
other damage done. Two inches Of
water fell within ten minutes. 1t is
difficult to estimate the loss, but it will
be great
At Garnet, Humboldt, Lincoln Cen
ter, Caldwell, Harper, Wellington,
Olathe, Arkansas City, lola, Pittsburg,
Leavenworth and Strong City, Kan,
similar reports of damage from food
are received.

Mukden, June 4.-For two days
past rumors have been current of Sc
we're fighting on the Liaotung PENN
sula. Details are lacking, but the fact
that fighting has been general through
out the peninsula is officially admit
ted. The Russians have pushed their
outposts south to Wanfangtien, on the
railroad, while the Japanese occupy
the country from the shores Of Korea
bay inland to the vicinity of Siuyen.
The fact that a Japanese army esti-
mated to number $4,000 men is con-
centrated south Of Kinchou is regard
cd here as indicating the region where
decisive battles will be fought.

PRICE is UNCHANGED
First Load of Hard Coal Reaches
KenOsha and Dealers Pre-
pare for a Busy Season
SEPTEMBER PRICE TO REACH 81 rs

The hard coal season is on again
this morning, and the man who ex-
poets to fill up his coal bins at a min
imun1 of expense will have to get
busy, for there is every indication
that the price of the commodity will
be increased with the opening of the
regular season in September.
The first load of coal to reach here
this season came from Buffalo on the
steamer A. L. Hopkins, and it is
being unloaded at the Baldwin Yards
this afternoon. The first cargo was
small one, and contained only a
thousand tons. It is not thought that
there will be any great trouble in
supplying the demand for next win
ter, but it is probable that the con-
sumner will have to pay a small ad-
vance inprice.
H. M. Baldwin in speaking of the
matter this morning, stated that the
schedules which have just been re-
ceived from the big dealers at the
mines state that there will be a uni
form increase of ten cents ton per
month from now on during the year.
This increase will not be added by the
local dealers, but it is expected that
the price will touch $7.75 by the first
of September. The coal is now being
sold in small lots at $3.50 a ton, but
this price will not prevail for long
time.
Kenosha is fortunate in the fact
that this price is slightly lower than
the price now being charged for coal
in both Milwaukee and Chicago, while
the rate in Racine is twenty-five cents
above the Kenosha figure. The boats
are now moving, and it is expected
that the entire supply for the Keno
sha yards will reach the city by the
middle of August or the first of Sep

BITTEN BY A DOG.
Vicious Animal Attacks Ben Buckmaster
In Chicago-Face Badly Lacerated.

Ben Buckmaster, son Of Mr.. and
Mrs. A. E. Buckmaster, is suffering
with a badly 1acerated face on &C
count Of an encounter with a dog in
Chicago Sunday.
The Buckmaster family was visit
ing with friends in the city and one of
the little girls at the house offered to
show the boys a dog belonging to the
family. AS Ben entered the barn the
dog jumped at him and planted his
teeth in the flesh just over the left
eye. The flesh was terribly 1acerated
and doctor was hurried1y sum-
moned to take charge of the case. It
was decided that it would not be nee
essary to cauterize the wound as the
dog was not suffering from rabies.
The wound is an ugly looking one
but the parents of the boy are hope
full that it will not leave scar.

7. L. MOORE Is DEAD.
Former Conductor on KenOsha Accom-
mediation Passes Away at His
Home in Chicago.
LONG A RESIDENT OF KENosHA.

Thomas L. Moore, for many years
a resident of Kenosha, and for more
than quarter of century in charge
of the Kenosha Accommodation of the
Northwestern Railway, died at his
home in Chicago at O'Clock Monday
morning. Mr.. Moore had been in
a feeble condition for several days and
while his death had been expected by
the immediate family the news will
come as a great shock to the people
of Kenosha.
Few men who lived in Kenosha and
connected with the railway service
are better known than T. L. Moore.
He was a resident of Kenosha for
many years and for some time past he
resided at Hotel Southern on Deming
Court. He was retired from active
service on the railway little over a
year ago and was pensioned by the
company for faithful service.
The death of T. L. Moore will cause
intense sorrow in the city for he was
known to many people and all of them
will have kind word to say for him.
Mr.. Moore was one of the active
leaders in the Christian Science
Church in Kenosha for several years
and his death will be an unspeakab1e
loss to the little band of followers of

Swedish Baptists OF The City to Build
a New Church at the Corner of
Newell and Garden Streets.
ADOPT UNIQUE PLAN FOR CHURCH
Will Build Store TO Rent and Hold Serv-
Larger Temple Can be Raised.

The congregation of the First
Swedish Baptist church is planning
to build temple of worship during
the next few months and deal was
closed today by which the trustees of
the society secured possession of a
large lot at the corner of Newell and
Garden streets. The lot is one Of the
finest pieces of property in the Balm
subdivision and has frontage of 185
feet on Newell street.
The new congregation which was
organized less than a month ago, is
to adopt unique plan to secure
funds for the building of their temple
of worship, and to this end plans
have been made for the immediate
erection of store building on one of
the lots purchased. This store build
ing will be used by some of the mem
bers of the church for business pur-
poses, while the large room above the
store will be used for church until
such time as the congregation can
secure funds for the building of
more suitable structure on the corner
lot.
The members of the congregation
hope that within year they can real
ize sufficient funds to clear the lot
from debt and make arrangements
for start on the church building.
The new congregation is now hold
ing services in a store building on
Park street, and this building will
continue to be used until the new
building on the Newell street lot is
completed.
The congregation now numbers %
people, but the attendance at the SER
vices is usually over fifty and the at
tendance at the Sunday school is even
larger. Many of the influential
Swedish residents of the city have
consented to go into the new church
and it is thought that the member
ship will be increased to fifty before
the close of the year.
The president of the society is
Matthias Matson and Charles Ost1and
is secretary. The other members of
the board of trustees are w. Peter
son and Charles Ma1m. The pastor
now in charge of the church is the
Rev. Mr.. Ke11man, of Chicago.

BOWEN A PROMOTER
Former Manager OF the Kenosha Gas
and Electric Company Forming
Great Gas Plant Syndicate
RIVAL OF MCMILLAN SYNDICATE
Chicago Capital Backing Plan to Get Con-
troll of Long Lines of Plants Through
the Middle West.

Fred w. Bowen, who recently re-
tired from the Office of general man
ager and secretary of the Kenosha
Gas and Electric Company, has been
employed by syndicate formed by
Chicago capitalists to form union Of
plants in the West and South, and
when the work Of forming the new
syndicate is completed it is claimed
that the company formed under the
direction of Mr.. Bowen will be rival
of the McMi1len syndicate in New
York.
Mr.. Bowen was in the city this after
noon, and while he stated that he was
not ready to give out any information
in regard to the new company and it's
plans he admitted that he had been
employed by the Chicago syndicate to
secure the union of the plants and to
complete the work of forming the big
company. The work will undoubtedly
require several years, and when the
ama1gamation has been made it is
probable that Mr.. Bowen will be Sc
1ected as one of the chief officers of
the big syndicate.
The company, which is backed by
unlimited capital, has opened a Chi
cago office in charge of Mr.. Bowen,
and he hasbegun the work of building
the plants and securing the conces-
sions demanded by the company In
speaking of this work, Mr.. Bowen
stated this morning that the company
would control plants in many of the
leading cities of the South and West.
The plans will be to take up plants as
far south as Tennessee and as far west
as Colorado. but the most valuable
property of the new company will be
in Indiana and Illinois, where sMr.
Bowen has already secured possession
of a number of valuable franchises.
Mr.. Bowen severed his connection
with the Kenosha company on the first
of the month, and since that time he
has been resting at his summer home
atLake Bluff. From now on, however,
the work of bringing he.factors of the
big syndicate togetherswi11 take up all
of his time.
The names of the men backing the
big enterprise have not as yet been
given out, but it is limited that men
formerly interested in the Kenosha
company are interested with Mr.. Bow
eu in this enterprise.
Mr.. Bowen made a reputation as a
developer of lighting industries by his
work in Kenosha.

Milwaukee, Waukesha Brewers LEAGUE
Team Given an Awful Drubbing at
Central Park.
BuBsER MAKES A GREAT HIT.
New Pitcher Shows That he Is Lucky Find
For the Breen decentralization Hit
ting the Ball Hard.

Breen's Keuosha team won another
victory at Central Park Sunday after
noon when the Waukesha- Milwaukee
Brewers League team was walloped
by the local team by score of II to /.
The Waukesha team is now leading
the Brewers league team in Milwau-
kee and it is rated as the best of the
semi professional teams in the Cream
City. If this is fact, the Kenosha
team can easily lay claim to the cham
pionship of the state among the semi
professionals, for the way the Keno
sha boys won from the Milwaukee
team was a sin and shame. Bubser,
the former pitcher for the Kenosha
Athletics was in the box for Aenosha,
and he put up gi1t-edged article of
ball. He had the Waukesha PLAYERS
guessing from the time the first man
came to bat until their hopes were
shattered at the close of the ninth
inning. The visitors got but eight
hits, while the heavy hitters of the
Kenosha team took kindly to Smith,
the visitors pitcher, and simply drove
the ball all over the lot for a total of
fourteen hits good for sixteen bases.
Bubser also held Smith good on the
strike out proposition, and each man
had a record of five strike outs. Horn,
the Kenosha short stop seems to be
getting into great form and he led
the batting list Sunday afternoon with
three hits, one of them being two
Dagger. In the last game with the
Gunthers, Horn got four hits and he
is getting up into the class with DON
ahue on the hitting proposition.
Kenosha started the game going the
first time the team came to bat, and
when the third man retired the locals
had lead which proved sufficient
to win the game. For long time it
looked as if the Waukesha team
would be BANKED, but in the sixth
inning the visitors managed to
squeeze out one lonely run, which
saved them from the agony of shut
out.
