KANSAS HELPED by FLOODS.
Several Kinds of vermin Extermi-
mated in the Kaw Valley.
From the Topeka Capital


From the Topeka Capital
The greatest disaster which ever
visited Topeka was the flood of last
summer Occasionally some one dis
covered that the flood resulted in some
good. One thing which is a fact. how
ever, and which is a blessing TO the
people Of the valley is that the mice,
rats, moles, gophers and rabbits have
not bothered the distrioe which was
flooded.
Prior to the food the stores, fact
ries.dwellings,g ranaries and all build
ings in the valley were overrun with
rats and mice. Now II is so seldom
that the people who live In the dis
trict which was flooded see a mouse or
rat that the fact is commented upon.
When the water go into the build
ings along the valley the rats and
mice tried to get away. Some of them
succeeded but most Of them were
drowned. Many Of the rodents got in
to the upper stories Of the houses. but
they could get nothing to eat, and In
their efforts to find food they were
drowned. After the flood the ground
was covered with soft mud for months.
The rodents attempted to get out OF
the places Of safety they had found
during the flood, and went to seek
something to eat. They died in the
soft mud.
The driving out Of the rats and mice
was blessing, but that was nothing
compared to the benefit the farmers
all along the Kaw Valley received by
the death Of the moles and gophers. It
is said that there is not a mole or
gopher I'm the valley, where the land
was under water for three days. The
strange part of II is that the gophers
did not come back after the flood.
Tracts of land that were honeycomb-
ed with gopher end mole holes are
now as solid as a piece of land that
had been cultivated every year. In
fact. there Is not a gopher or mole I'm
the districts which was flooded. This
is the opinion of the men who live in
the flooded district. II may seem like
hunting mighty hard for benefits from
a disaster, but this relief the farmers
have experienced from the absence of
the moles and gophers has been of
enough Importance to cause a general
comment. In the past fields have been
almost ruined by the pests, and many
horses have been crippled by stepping
in the holes in the fields.
The people in the western part of
the state have been asking for years
for some way to get rid Of the prairie
dogs. The farmers In the eastern part
Of the state have also asked for some
method of cleaning out the gophers. II
appears that the only effective method
is to have a flood, which will keep the
pests under water for three or four
days The remedy is severe. but II is
effective.
Another thing that the people in the
flooded district have 20 be thonkful for
Is the driving out of the rabbits from
the valley. II would be supposed that
the rabbits would hav run away from
the flood. but they did not. Many OF
them were drowned. Strange as II may
seem, the rabbits did not come back
after the food. Why this should be,
on one can tell, but II is the truth.

Hoke Smith in his speech said that
the Democratic party is now united
and advocates of the gold standard are
in the majority. mo man could have
been nominated at st. Louis who OPP
posed the gold standard" he declared.
THE position of the Democratic party
will not be revoked. Men change from
silver to gold, but not from gold to
silver"
With an enthusiastic reference to
Judge Parker's chances of success,
Mr.. Smith passed to a denunciation of
the Republican party, asserting that,
fearful of comparisons of policies or
candidate it fell back upon the
threadbare claim that business pros
perity ceases with Democratic admin
istrations"
Requoting Secretary Shaw's alleged
excerpt from the annual message of
President Buchanan, Mr.. Smith de-
MED that anything similar to the al
legged quotation appears in the mes
sage in question.
The quotation from the Buchanan
message was: "Our industries have
suspended" sMr Smith then declared
that the Republicans ignore the pros
perity under Mr.. Clevelands first adj

panic in 1893, which occurred in his
second administration. and which Mr..
Smith said was produced by the Sher-
man silver purchasing act.
The present administration. the
speaker asserted. substitutes the will
of the President for the law of the
land, and when convicted they pleaded
in excuse that some one else was
guilty" He said its reckless extrav-
agance" was apparent, and declared
that much of the increase in expendi-
lures over former administrations "is
spent upon measures of war and con-
quest, and to support an imperial colo
NAL policy"
In conclusion, Mr.. Smith said that
the Republican party's partnership
with the trusts was self-evident. by
the decision in the Northern Securities
case. the President demonstrated his
power to reach them" he declared.
