BETTER FLOOD OUTLOOK
A Reduction of the Swelling of Kan
 SaS Rivers.

. Kansas City, June 5.-After ten days of almost continuous leaden skies the sun shone over Kansas today. With a cessation in the rains during the past twelve hours most of the rivers are gradually falling and seeking their banks and everywhere the flood con diticns are improving. A slight rise is shown in some streams over the night, but it is believed that from now on all will fall rapidly.
 At Kansas City, Kan, the Kaw be- gan to fall last night and west to Man haitian it continues to go down. South ern Kansas rivers will go down more slowly and the conditions in the oil fields will not be bettered materially before another twenty-fOur hours, great stretches of country still being covered with water.

REAR IN CANERRAKE.
MississippPs Worlds Fair Exhibit Shows Bruin in his Favorite Haunt.

St. Louis, June 5.-Ever since Presi- dent Roosevelt went bear hunting in the canebrakes of Mississippi the cane brake black bear has been an object of public interest. Tn the Mississippi eA- hihit in the Forestry, Fish and Game building at the Worlds fair is a wild woods scene that attracts much atten- tiOn. In a large canebrake. where the cane is fifteen to twenty feet high. stands a ferocious black bear reared up ready to fight. The canebrake be- ing the home of the southern black bear, the scene is true to life and inn presses all who behold it
 Another life-Hke sporting scene in this exhibit is a setter dog setting a covey of quaiis. The dog and quails are SO natural that they appear to De alive, and one almost expects to see She birds rise and fly away.
 TarpOns, allisators, dig turtles. and fish and birds of many kinds are other attractive features of the Mississippi exhibit.

 Million.

DeadwOOd, z. D., June 5.-As a re- suit of the heavy rainfall throughout the Black Hills. which has continued for nearly a week, Whitewood, Dead wood and City creek. passing within the city limits have left their banks, carrying away a number of houses. barns, sidewalks and lumber yards. The Waite building, one of the most substantial in the city, was partially wrecked and the city hall was badly damaged. One long bridge was car- ried away. Two lives are known to have been lost, Matthew Bender. a young man of Central City. was drowned in an attempt to save prop :, erty. and Guy Shoudy, a farmer near Sturges.
 No trains have been able to enter or leave Deadwood since Friday on ac- count of washOuts. The damage was greatest at Central City. nearly all the business portion of that town being washed away. The Columbus Mining cOmpany's plant was among the build inSs destroyed. A large number of homes at Gayville, a few miles distant. were carried away and the lower part of the town is under water.

 Yesterday. the Chitosea steamed in close to Liao Tishan and discovered four Inasts under watch house near the coast. One Of these masts was evidently fitted for wireless telegraohic operations. The Cnitosea reports hay

MANUFACTURED EXPORTS
The Figures This Year Will Exceed
 All Others.

Washington, D. C., June 5.-EXpOrts of manufactures in the fiscal year which ends with next month seem likely to exceed those of any prcced~ ing year. Ten months figures just presented by the department of com merce and labor through it's bureau of statistics exceed those for the cor
 responding period of any preceding year. The fiscal year 1900 vas the
 banner year in exports of manufactures
 but the figures of ten months exports
 of manufactures in the fiscal year 1904 exceed by S19.OOO,oOo those for the cor responding months of the fiscal year
 1900 The total value Of manufactures
 exported Tn the ten months ending with
 April. 1G04, was S371,712,301, against
 s352671 FOG in the same period of the fiscal year l9OO which, as already in dicated made the higQest record of manufactures exported prior to the fiscal yea 1904.
 The fact that the present fiscal year has oEly two Qonths' record to make and is $l9.OO0.OG0 ahead of the highest figure for the corresponding period in any preceding year Q9O0) seems to justify the prediction that the cXpC-,s oS manufactures in 1904 will be greater i taan those of any earlier year. The total value of manufactures exported l in the full fiscal year 1900 was $433.- i S51,75 Should the present excess Of 1904 over 1900 continue during the re maining two months of the year ij would bring the grand total of exports ! of manufactures up to $450000,000. | Imports of manufacturers raw mu- terial also make a very satisfactory showing the grand total of articles in | a crude condition which enter into the various processes of domestic manu- 1 facture" being in the ten months end ing with April 1904, $267.334S21, against . $275.6416ST in the ten months of last year, and $273.799.G5O in the core 1 spending months of 1902.
