Kansas City Mo. Sept. 1S.-Rain has fallen in
Kansas City every day excepting one in Septem-
Der with a total downfall to date Of ten inches
in seventeen days. Practically the same condi-
tons have prevailed throughout Western Mis-
souri,, especially in the northwestern corner Of
the State and in a portion of Eastern and Cen
trail Kansas. As a result. all streams in this
part of the country continue to rise. and rail-
road traffic is becoming demoral ized because of
numerous washouts.
The Missouri Pacific, the Wabash and the Mis-
souri, Kansas and Texas railways east and south
of Kansas City are experiencing the greatest
trouble. The Missouri Pacific is sending its St
Louis Kansas City trains over the Burlington
Railway. via Chillcothe, because of washouts
in Central Missouri. All through trains are
being operated, but late, those arriving from
St Louis being from three to four hours behind
time
St Louis Mo. Sept 1S-The heavy rains have
caused rise of over ten feet in the Mississippi
River in the last twenty-four hours, which has
resulted in damage along the river front here
amounting TO many thousands of dollars. A
vast amount Of produce and other shipping
property along the levee is in danger. The river
stage this forenoon had reached 23.07 feet The
danger line is 35 feet. and it is predicted that
by nightfall the gauge will show % feet
washouts at various places in Missouri caused
the annulment to-day Of five trains due here.
They were the IeXaS accommodation OF the MIS-
souri,, Kansas and Texas, two trains due from
Kansas City the Missouri Pacific and two
trains due from the West on the Wabash. Trains
on the Iron Mountain and Burlington systems
were n hour or more late in arriving.
Jefferson City. No, Sept. 1S.-Tha Missouri
River is rising rapidly here and people are NOV
ing from the lower part of the city to higher
ground Across the river from here, farmers
have been driven from their homes. One farm
is sixteen feet under water
Madison. Kan Sept. 1S--One OF the worst
foods that has ever been experienced here is
raging to-day. The Verdigris River has over
flowed half of Madison, which has a population
of 1000. AS far as known, lives have been
lost. The water covers the Santa Fe tracks to
depth OF six feet.
Topeka. Kan. Sept. 1S.-The Kaw River here
has fallen half a foot since Sunday, and Soldier
Creek. which did much damage in North To-
peka on Saturday, is again within its banks

coming, for so great was their love and re-
spect for the martyred President that they
did not like to walk on ground that was
named after him. When the town wgs laid
out place was decided upon for statue Of
Lincoln; but his, like many other fond hopes
was not realized o, happy day, when the
railroad was finished and the first engine
called the "Sussex" made is way down to
Lewes, No wonder that an old farmer threw
his hat in the air and shouted for joy. The
Town was laid ont in New England style, with
very wide Streets and the/houses set well
back. Some of the streets were so wide that
row OF evergreen trees was set out down the
centre An example OF this can be found in
front OF Charles Shockleys home. In those
days there was beautiful park where Joseph
Chipman's farm now is,and people from other
towns came on excursions TO spend the day
al this park. In the park there was a race
track. and II you Will take the trouble to look /
on b. N. Gains farm, you will see "A large vel /
low ring where the track used to be. A Ladies' /
Aid Society attempted to raise money to /
build church. They were aided In their ef-
forts by private contributions. The first
school was rather a rude unpainted building.
Fire destroyed the hotel and caunery IN one
night Lincoln has been most unfortunate
in having fires. Several stores and dwellings
have burned, and the first saw mill which T.
r. Smith built was burned to the ground
One night In 1903 we were awakened by the
roar Of flames aud watched the next mill
burn. Nearly all Of these buildings have been
replaced by better ones, but these fires have
been great detrment to the growth Of the
own. The brick kiln and a basket faetory

This was replaced by the old Stuart mill and
Il last this was torn down. Now we have

Though we like the town as it is, we hope

The Baker Cannery people have closed up their
season here, after putting up more fruit than has
ever before been packed here; they have paid the
bills they contracted to pay, and LEFT with their
entire effects. Some OF their growers are sore
over them, though, and now wonder if honesty
was the best policy" in this case. They now find
themselyes,ai delivering their tomatoes (when
they were bringing as much as thirty cents per
basket to the cannery for ten cents, and now the
late part of very short crop may rot for all the
cannery people care. Some are mad all over
Their contracts bound them not to grow for any
other eannery,and to shut them out with lot OF
good tomatoes in the field is a hardship. When
the farmer breaks "A contract he is prosecuted,
but the Gamer shuts down, and the farmer must
grin and bear the treatment; while the canner's
act is considered good business the grower will
bring suit for damages against the canner; and
we shall never again condemn the farmer for
getting every advantage OF the shyloek Gamers.
Why should we contract: The cost Of growing
tomatoes is but little below what we now receive
for them under contract, and we had better take
chances on the open market,or grow other crops.
