RAILROAD VALUATIONS.
Auditors once Clerks Figure 1t Has
Been Increased.

The clerks in the state auditors Of
flee have figured that the assessed
valuation of the railroads of Kansas
this year will be about 81, 500,0 900 more
than last year, when the total was
S59, los, PA. The increase is due chiefly
to the increase of rolling stock and
other property and not to any raise
in the valuations, except on the Rock
Island and the Frisco About half OF
the Increase on each of these roa is
IS due to an increase on the road bed.
The valuation of the Missouri Pa
cific will probably be decreased a lit
tie. Just how much has not yet been
determined
The only other road favored this
year is the Kansas Southwestern
which is reduced in value from 1882, $50
to S1S1, 293.
The heaviest increase, considering the
extent of the property, is on the Orient
road. which is raised from S104, 469 10
S1s8. S29. or SS4, 459.
The Santa Fe. which has the heavf-
est valuation, is increased from SIS
396.641 to S1S,921.559, or 1924. SIS. The
Kansas City Belt Line is assessed with
the Santa -F'e this year. It is valued. at
$50, 900.
Here are the figures on other rail-
road properties;
Rock Isiand-Increased from $685.

RIVER is GOING DOWN.
Drop of Six Inches More at Man
haitian.

After rising steadily from o'clock
Tuesday afternoon. a total of % inches,
the Kaw river became stationary bout
4 o'clock this morning and began to
fall at $50 From the water gauge at
VOLTS Packing house a fall of six
inches was registered at ? p. m. The
river at Manhattan dropped ten inches
during the night and is still going
down.
The river is now about ten feet
above its normal point and it's proba-
bic that it viii not come higher. The
tributary streams west and northwest
of Topeka are probably about emptied
of their over supply and unless more
rains come, the bed of the stream will
probably subside to g point just a few
feet above its usual stage.
No damage has been done. The
sewer from the Wolff Packing company
had to be closed last night to prevent
flooding of the cellars, but this was
done in time to head off any trouble.
The city drainage pipes have not yet

A good deal of drift is coming down
the stream, and that sort Of surprises
the watchers, because they think that
last years flood should have carried off
all of the surplus wreckage lying about
the banks. A number of big logs and
trees are lodged against the Melan
arch and the city railway bridge.
are clogging quite rapidly. No one is
making effort to do this. The stream
is very rapid and the driftwood may in
conjunction with the water do some
little harm to the bridges.
The people of North Topeka. are not
worried about the river. Year after
year it has attained its present stage
right after the heavy rains of the
spring and no one has given the mat
ter a passing thought. Last years
horror naturally makes people nervous

in years previous to 1908.
It will be necessary for the river to
rise at least Is feet before any dam
age will be done. The river bed nat
urauy widens towards its top and it
would still take an immense volume of
water to even make people think Of
hunting the anxious seat.
1t is strange that in view of the in
terest taken in the cavortings of the
Kaw river that the city does not put
in a water gauge on Kansas avenue
on the Melan arch bridge. Daily hun
dreds of people make their way to the
river to see how the water is behaving
and scarcely one goes away with an
exact idea as to whether it is falling
or rising.
Last night a wild and woolly rumor
got started that the water had been
coming up inches an hour since six
o'clock That was at midnight and
caused considerable excitement A
good water gauge. stationed at a con-
spicuous place, wouldn't cost a barrel
of money, and it would serve to allay
the unrest which some people absorb
from the exaggerated stories about the

SOLVE SEWER PROBLEM.
Mr.. swendson Would Create a New
District

VII SAeIuSO4 ~ Quiz NFettle a NGW
District
While there is some prospect that the
present high water in the river will
help solve the Potwin sewer problem
by washing out the big sandbar which
now blocks the mouth of the sewer, the
Potwin councilmen have devised a new
scheme for the construction of a sew
er in the Sixth ward. 1t Will be pre-
scented to the council next Monday
night.
Councilman Swendson is fathering
ances are being drawn up today by
the city attorney.
The plan was originally to combine
PotWin and the rest of the unseWered
portions of the ward into one large
district for the double purpose of ex-
the sandbar, charging the main sewer
and building lateralS as far south is
Huntoon street to connect with the
Potwin main.
City Attorney Spencer held, however,
that separate ordinances would have TO
be drawn for these purposes, and this
is the work in which he is now en-
It is regarded as very. doubtful wheth-
er such a plan will meet with the ap-
proval of the city council And it is
also doubtful whether fl will be APP
proved by the people of the ward The
sewer question was an issue in the se-
cent city primaries. and Councilman
Swendson was beaten on a Square-toad
sewer issue. In spite of this, he be-
neves that he can get the sewer pro-
ject carried through.
The proposed sewer district would
take in Stilson & Bartholomew addi-
ton, Tennesseetown, and would have
Buchanan street for its eastern bOun-
dry from Seventh to HuntOon-

Governor Entertained at Dinner
in Washington.
Congressman and Mrs. Murdoch
and Campbell Hosts.
SPEECHES WERE WITTY
Mr.. Murdock Told OF Requests
of Constituents.
Members of Delegation and
Others We're Present.

Washington, D. c., April 27.-Rep-
resentative and Mrs. Victor Murdoch
and Representative and Mrs. Phil
Campbell were the hosts and host
esses last night at a dinner given in
compliment to the members OF the
Kansas delegation and their wives.
other Kansans present besides the
members and their wives were Gov
ernor and Mrs. W. ]. Bailey, General
and Mrs. ]. L. BristOw, Secretary and
Mrs. Thomas Ryan, Commissioner of
Pensions and Mrs. E. F. Ware, and
Mrs. W. E. Stanley.
The dinner was given in the dining
room of the Portland hotel. The dec
nolia blossoms All the gentlemen
present responded to eXtempOraneOus
toasts. Mr.. Campbell acting as toast
master, as follows
Governor Bailey responded to the
toast Kansas; Senator Long, The
Senate; General Bristow, The Pres
ident of the United States; Mr.. Ware,
THE Old Soldiers; Mr.. Ryan, The
Departments Mr.. Curtis, The
House Of Representatives Mr. Reed
er, Irrigation MI Scott, "Our Hosts
and Hostesses.'
Most of the toasts were responded
to in a light vein and created much
merriment. Mr. Murdock's talk was
especially felicitous. AS one of the
hosts he had modestly made no place
for himself on the programme, but
after much urging he consented to
make a response. He said among
other things that in four months he
had found that Kansas had about
cOrnered the government of the
United States. The people of Kansas,
he said were divided into four classes
those who want jobs. and Mr.. Ryan
could take care of those: those who
want pensions. and Mr.. Ware could
dispose of them; those who want post
offices, ana Mr.. BristOw looked after
them The fourth class he said want
ed fish 1t was a peculiar trait of hui
man nature, he said, that the further
away from water his people got the
more they sighed for fish What the
delegation ought to do therefore. he
declared. was to get together and
unite upon demand for a fish com
missioner. If a fish commissioner
could be procured the state would
have the government cOrnered.
He said continuing the question seri-
ously he appreciated the great obiiga-
tion under which he and Mr.. Campbell
the younger member of the delegat ion,
felt to the older members for the uni
form courtesy and kindness with which
they had been treated which had made
their work easier and helped them to
gain a standing which they would 9TH
erwise have been slow in reaching. All
the tcasts were short The guests sat
down at seven o'clock and the dinner
was concluded at eleven.
Mr. and Ms. Bailey probably will
leave for Kansas Saturday. Governor
BAILEY spent yesterday afternoon on
the floor shaking hands with his form
er colleagues.

him: "When will Messiah Gomez" eco

where shall I find him? ''You will find
him seated on the steps among the beg

afflicted, asked when he would come.
''To-day," answered the Messiah. The
Rabbi returned to tell Elijah to prepare
for the great event. But meanwhile the
sun set and the Messiah had not come.

reverses continue at the seat of war. The
ignorant mob in times of war always
seeks victim at home to compensate for
the shortcomings Of the soldiers in the
field And in Russia what victim can
be found so accessible for all purposes
as the hapless Jews? The fact that fif
teen thousand Jewish soldiers are fight
ing at the front for their country will
not in the least mitigate the cruel pas
sions Of those who are lost to all instincts
Of reason and justice. These soldiers who
are now helping to fight Russia s battles
are the truest patriots that she can boast
to-day But her rulers do not realize
this fact, and when many of the most
intelligent of the nation are hopelessly
deficient in understanding what can be
expected Of the peasants and artisans,
to whom Jew batting has become in a
measure national sport? There is no
public opinion in the true sense in Rus
sia and there will be none until an en-
tirely different spirit is drilled into the
great mass of the people e.-Jewish Expo

Death Of Rabbi Baar

A noble and self-sacrifcing career,
life rich with the fruits Of many years
of hard labor, was ended last Sunday
morning, when the Rev. DR.. Herman
Baar. who for a number Of years was
connected with the Hebrew Orphan Asy-
lum in New York City, died at his resi-
dence, 2O94 Fifth avenue, Of stomach
trouble. He was in his 18th year. He
had been in poor health for several
months, and it is believed that the death
of his wife six months ago fastened his.
DR.. Baar was born in Stadthagen, Ger
many, and was educated in the Univer-
sity of Jena. He was for a time instruc-
tor in German school, and left that at
the call of congregation in Liverpool,
England, where he remained ten years
He was compelled to give it up on ac-
count of his health, and in 1867 came to
Washington, where he was for a time
rabbi of a synagogue, and later in New
Orleans He was appointed superin-
tendent Of the New York Hebrew Orphan
Asylum in 1876, and under his admins
tration the asylum prospered greatly,
and from it's old quarters, Seventy-sev-
enth street and Third avenue, moved to
it's present location at Amsterdam avenue
and 18th street. After many years of
faithful service there he was forced to
resign on account Of his health, and has
devoted himself to literature since. DR..
Baar is the author of a number of books
on the education of children, and has
Just completed a Bible history for chill
dren The funeral was held on We'd
nesday at the Hebrew Orphan Asylum.

The news Of renewed attacks on the
Jews of Bessarabia, repeating even if on
minor scale the horros of Kishinetf and
Gomel, is probably the forerunner Of
that which may be expected if Russian
