GREAT DAMAGE BY FLOODS.
The State of Kansas Suffers from
Too Much Rain.
The Santa Fe System Reports the
Worst Delay from Floods Ever
Experlenced by that
Railroad.

Kansas City, Mo-, June 4.-The
heavy rains in the last few days in
Kansas are confined mostly to the
counties south of the Kaw watershed.
AS a result the valleys of the rivers
which flow southeast are flooded. The
tributaries of the Kaw are not danger
Gus. The worst floods yesterday were
in the Neosho, Cottonwood, Verdigris,
Arkansas and Marmaton rivers. All
creeks through this section are flood
ing and impossible. The rivers all
Drain to the southwark. The rivers
are flooding their valleys and doing
great damage to town property, oil
fields and farm lands throughout their
length in Kansas.
At Emporia, the Cottonwood is now
as high as last year, when it reached
the highest water mark ever known.
At Fort Scott and vicinity the flood
Of six weeks ago has been repeated.
Several hundred persons have been
driven from home.
AT Newton the flood Is receding.
Not less than 100 homes are uninhab-
table as the result of the high water.
The flooded section covers an area of
30 blocks. Not train from east or
south has reached Newton for 80
hours.
At Strong City the water is running
through the main street and the first
floors of the Postal Telegraph build
ing, the Bank of Strong City and sew
eral business houses have been
flooded.
Topeka, Kan, June 4.-The Atchi-
son, Topeka & Santa Fe railway, in a
statement issued Friday giving the To-
cation of their trains bloodhound in
various parts of the state, says that
this is the worst flood delay ever ex-
perenced by the road in Kansas.
Joplin, Mo, June 4.-Several houses
were unroofed in Joplin, trees were
uprooted and many booths arranged
for the annual carnival were wrecked
by severe wind storm yesterday,
while torrent of rain that followed
flooded the downtown streets, filling
Easements and causing damage.

HOGS AND THEIR CARE.

1t is a fact that has been widely
commented upon that with swine
raised in the corn belt the constant
tendency is toward too great fine
ness of bone and a general weakness
of the muscular system, which is
caused by the excessive feeding OF
corn for many generations.
Barb wire is very poor material for
hog fence. 1t can hardly be made
close enough or strong enough to pre-
vent a shoat from crawling through.
A board fence makes perhaps the
most secure inclosure for hogs, but it's
expense precludes its use generally.
except for yards and pens.
All purchased hogs should be quar-
antined after arriving at the farm till
all danger of contagion is past.
The pen and yard for the boar
should be separate from the rest of
the herd and out of sight of it.
In laying the foundation for herd
of swine it is better to have one good
SOW than several poor ones.
After the framework of the boar has
reached the desired size the animal
should receive only enough feed to
keep him in good condition.

BABY oocARTs IN CHICAGO
They Have Supplanted the Baby Car
riage Because They Take Up
Far Less Room.

Chicago has more gocarts adapted to
the use of small children of American
parents than any other city in the
world. And the demand for the gocart
is still growing, in spite of the fact that
some of the medical authorities OF
Great Britain have been writing mono
graphs upon its use by American women
who are visiting that kingdom.
Two things above all others in Chi
cago have made for the demands for the
gocart. First of these is the fiat build
ing; second, the congested downtown
district, which may bring the mother
of the middle class seven miles to State
street to buy two yards of ribbon. And
coming down town with the baby that
is in short dress, how is 1t possible with
out the gocart? How, otherwise,
could she get down from a fourth-foor
apartment with the perambulator? And
how else is it possible for her to put
1t on an elevated train, as with the go
cart, and bring it into the loop dis
trict?
But, in spite of all this, the British
physician is quoted as saying of the GO
cart in the United States: Perhaps ba-
bies of too tender age are not put in
them; perhaps in the rush of trans
atlantic city life such trifles as curva-
ture of the spine and malformation of
other bones do not count"
Looking over the modern gocart as
it is seen in the stores at prices rang
ing from $2.75 to S495, the layman who
may have baby of his own is struck
with the fact that in all probability the
designs were not attested by any par
ticular body of men or women who have
at heart the improvement of the human
race. Such machine seems in the
first place adapted to the convenience of
space rather than to the convenience and
comfort of the baby that is to sit in it..
1t will fold up until it isn't thicker than
an ordinary mattress, and in its folded
condition it will stand alone when the
baby might tumble headlong. The bot
tom of it will not adapt itself to a re-
clining position; it has pair of springs
which are remarkable for the quality OF
springlessness; the bottom is of hard
wood and the wheels are designed as il

to make them respondent to the slightest
pebble or the least noticeable rut in the
roadway.
Did you ever ride over an Irish road
in an Irish jaunting carp" asked DR.. Jo-
seph B. De Lee as return question. "Or
over corduroy road in Wisconsin, hold
ing with both hands to the rail of buck
board seat? Probably when some of the
present babies of the gocart have grown
to these adult experiences they may get
an idea of some former existence from
the jaunting car and the blackboard. Ger
tainly one may imagine the babes get
ting about the same relative shaking up
from the gocart.
'The menace of the gocart, l should
say, would be in putting babies into it
before they are old enough to sit up
properly. 1t would be impossible to give
positive age limit at which babies may
be put into such cart, for the reason
that such babies at eight months old
are more able to sit up than are others
that are year and half old. In gen.
eral, however, baby should not be put
into one of these carts until it is one
and one-half or two years old.
This is not to say that child will
be thrown out of shape because of little
riding in such a vehicle; in all probable
ity its greatest suffering would come
from the shaking up it would receive in
the beginning. At the most this would
reflect upon the nervous condition of the
child and keep it awake when it should
be asleep. But if the human body at
any stage of its development were so
susceptible to gocart postures as to crook
spine and thighs and bones of the pei
Wis, there wouldn't be straight man in
Chicago.
THE mother of the child nowadays
does not expect to stay at home and be-
come a nurse; she wishes to get out of
doors herself, and she wants to take
| her child into the air. The gocart is
the solution of the difficulty, especially
| If the mother lives in a fiat or an apart
ment. In coming down town, where
the mother cannot leave the child with
| competent nurse, the gocart is the only
possible means by which she can get
| into State street for shopping. She
cannot strap the child to her back, and
she cannot carry it; she trundles the
little one to the car line, folds up the
cart, and stores it in corner until she
reaches her destination after which the
child may be put back into it and be
wheeled all over the loop district, if the
mother wishes. The cart has come to stay
with the mothers of the middle Glass;

suit of the heavy rainfall throughout
the Black Hills, which has continued
for nearly week, Whitewood. Dead
wood and City creeks. three streams
passing within the city limits, have
left their banks, carrying away "a
number of houses, barns, sidewalks
and lumber yards. The Waite build
ing, one of the most substantial in
the city, was partially wrecked and
the city hall badly damaged. One
large bridge was carried away. Two
lives are known to have been lost.

A Farmer Kills Two Men.

Lexington, Va, June 6.-Edward
Mccormick, a young farmer of
Brownsburg, 16 miles from here, on
Saturday night shot and killed John
w. Wade and Arthur Blackwell. The
shooting was the result of bad feeling
that has existed between the men for
three years. 1t is asserted that the
dead men had been drinking and
waylaid Mccormick and his father on
their way home and stoned them,
whereupon young Mccormick fired,
shooting Wade through the heart and
Blackwell through the lungs. Nc
Cnrmick was arrested.

PERFUMES AGAIN IN STYLE.
For Several Years Scents Were in Dis
favor, But Reaction Has
Now Set In.

The smart woman of to-day has her
own special perfume, and, if she is par
ticularly faddy, she has a special man
distill it from a special flower after a
special recipe. For the last five years
it has been considered in wretched taste
to wear the slightest suspicion of scent,
but the reaction has set in, and now
the toilet water, toilet powder, bureau
drawer, note paper, hats, soaps, face
creams, and all the belongings of the
1904 girl are permeated with her special
brand. And why not? Beauty has long
ago set its approval on the practice, and
many famous woman of history had
her choice scent. The memoirs of Re-
camier, De Stael, La Pompadour, Du
Barry, and hosts of others mention par
ticularly the fragrance that surround
ed the rooms and person of the old-time
beauties. To be sure, the fastidious
woman of our day does not saturate her
hair and handkerchief in odors. She
will not even use liquid perfume. But
by the discriminating use of fragrant
satchet bags we'll distributed in gowns,
hats, coats and gloves delicate aroma
is waited that is extremely agreeable to
the most fastidious of noses.
Some of the best-liked scents are Par
ma violets, white rose, and that newest
favorite which is called water lily. This
last is an oriental mixture of powders
which is very lasting, and possesses
peculiarly foreign perfume that is very

DEADLY EXPLOSION.
Fourteen Men Buried Under Ruins Of
Warehouse at Peoria, III.

Peoria, ILL.,, June 6.-An explosion
which occurred in the History ware
house of the Corning distillery, the
second largest in the world, Saturday
afternoon, completely wrecked the
building. The ruins Immediately took
6re and communicated to three ad-
Joining buildings, burning them to the
ground. Fourteen men were buried in
the ruins and burned to death, and six
others were seriously injured. The
loss on buildings and whisky and spir-
Its stored will approximate $1,O00,000.
The fire spread to the stock yards dis
trict, where a dozen large cattle
barns, filled with cattle for market,
were burned.
The widest excitement prevailed
after the explosion. The immense
plant was surrounded by thousands of
people, who, however, were unable
to get close to the structure on ac-
count of the intense heat.
The warehouse, containing in the
neighborhood Of 10000 barrels of
whisky, was instantaneously a seeth-
ing caldron and it was seen that no
one inside the big structure could es-
cape. The warehouse in crushing the
smaller structure nearby set that on
fire and the whisky from the bursting
barrels flooded everything in that sec
ton. Large streams ran down grade
toward the river and in a short time
there was foot of whisky in the cat
tie pens east of the warehouse. where
5000 steers were chained fast. Their
distress lasted but a few moments,
however, for they were soon roasted
to death

One of Its Kind.
Washington, June 6.-In the pres
ence of thousands of ex-Confederate
and eX-Union soldiers and numbers
of officers of the United States army
and the G. A. R., the first formal me-
mortal exercises ever held over the
graves in the Confederate section Of
Arlington cemetery took place Sun
day. AS the result of a movement
initiated by the late President Nc
Kinley, the Confederate dead now
have been gathered in one large and
beautiful circle in the southern part
of the cemetery, where the graves
have been marked with separate
stones.
The exercises were opened with
music by the Fifteenth cavalry band.
In spirit of good will and fraternity
after the exercises over the graves of
the Confederate dead, those in charge
of the services repeated them over the
graves of the 1000 unknown Union
dead and decorated the graves with
flowers.
Rev. Alexander w. Pitzer, pastor of
the Southern Presbyterian church in

RIOT AT ST. LOUIS.
Crowd Wanted to See a Bull Fight,
but Sheriff Prevented 1t.

st. Louis, June 6.-Incensed over
the failure to see genuine Spanish
bull fight" which the authorities had
ordered stopped, a riot was started
in an arena near the worlds fair
grounds last evening by crowd of
$500 men and boys who were unable
to get their money back, and the
building was burned to the ground.
The price of admission charged was
one dollar. Four men were placed un-
der arrest by the authorities of st.
Louis county, charged with destruc-
ton of property. The crowd, thinking
these men were connected with the
show, made an attempt to mob them,
and in their encounter with the dep
uty sheriffs a number were roughly
handled and some received severe
scalp wounds. The building is said to
have cost $4,000. 1t is a total loss.
The initial performance by the
company of Spanish bull fighters had
been advertised widely for yesterday,
but Gov. Dockery, to whom numerous
protests had been made by religious
and humane societies, ordered that it
should not be allowed to take place.

REVIEW OF TRADE.

the Iron and Steel Industry.

More Factories Have Reduced Hours
or Wages and No Change Appears in
the Iron and Steel Industry.
New York, June Ar. G. Dun &
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says:
Interruption of industrial progress
by holiday, labor conflicts and in
clement weather again produced a
somewhat unsatisfactory trade situa-
tion. Yet the money market is easy
and liabilities of mercantile failures
are comparatively small, indicating
that most concerns have prepared for
a quiet season and are able to with
stand period of diminished sales and
tardy payments.
This conservative attitude is the
strong feature of the situation. More
manufacturing plants have reduced
hours or wages, and several strikes
have added to the army of the unem-
ployed.
No definite change is reported in the
iron and steel industry, quotations be-
ing barely maintained and new con-
tracts placed with great discrimina-
tion.
Commercial failures this week in the
United States are 220, against 1S2 the
corresponding week last year. Failures
in Canada number 26, against "a last
year.

should not have creek or pond to swim

mix the feed fresh for each feeding, as
no young poultry should be fed anything
