TOPEKA, Kas., Sept. 16.-The flood
situation here tonight is most serious
The levees protecting the farming lands
along Soldier creek have broken and
thousands of acres of corn fields are
under water. A wagon bridge across
Soldier creek went out late this after
noon, carrying eight boys and horse
and buggy down with 1t. Seven of the
boys have been rescued. but one is still
reported missing. The horse was
drowned.
The Kaw river is rising rapidly at
this point and a repetition of the dis
astrous flood of 1903 is feared. Rail
road communication between Topeka
and Kansas City on the north side OF
the river has been completely cut Off
and communication over the Rock
Island Is still impossible. The Union
Pacific has two bridges out west OF
Topeka and is using the tracks of the
Rock Island. Both the Union Paclnc
and the Rock Island will be severed
some time tonight.
The country from the state reform
school to Rossville, distance OF over
fifteen miles, is entirely submerged. The
water has also cut off communication
between Topeka and the reform scnooi'
and the institution was completely iso-

reform school at 6 o'clock tonight
touched the high water mark, reaching
the flood of 1908. kilograms just re-

Charcoal sweetens the breath after

benefits of charcoal says: II advise
Stuarts Charcoal Lozenges to all pa

purify the breath, mouth and throat;

patent preparation, yet l believe I get
more and better charcoal in Stuarts

The news has reached the Sun that
Alex was arrested Saturday on a
Charge Of assault and battery. The
arrest. as we learned It. grew out OF a
little exercise Of the manly art" that
occurred about three weeks ago, when
Alex, while in town on business for
the Metal Bound Package company,
met Charley Collins, who is also quite
muscular and who On the evening of
his last meeting with Alex appeared
to be somewhat Govt Of sorts" ac-

rather too personal ana not applicable

But it spnears now that an effort IS 70
be made 70 have him pay some more
on another charge. that OF assault and

same trick on Charley, on the charge
OF abusive language .and threats cal

would be willing to let well enough

UNCLE SAM TO PAY
ILLINOIS WAR DEBT,
United States Treasury Expects Soon
to Pay over ste,s76 Obligation
Incurred in Civil Strife.

Washington, Feb. 14.-It is prob
able that before long The state OF llli.
mos will draw SlG97G.23 from the
treasury of the Uni ed States in final
payment of the states war claim
against the government. Several eth

STARE Of the money, and the book OF
accounts between Uncle Sam and the
sta es opened early in the year 1861
viii be closed and clasped.
This matter of state war claims has
been in evidence at every session of
congress. Many claims have been set.
tied by the payment OF cash from time
to time, but the particular claim which
probably is socn 20 be satisfied has
been a subject of sharp dispute.
Says he Nation Should Pay.
As long ago as 1892 the comptroller
Of the treasury, who is practically a
court Of last resort. declared that il
appeared clear 10 him that Uncle Sam
should pay the balance OF his deb 70
the states.
During he war Of secession tho
northern states, TO aid the govern

captains or colonels # they would
raise companies and regiments. The
men enlisted by these officers we're
frequently taken by The United States
and sent to the front before the full

In fact, some of these men raised

however paid them for the time aad

the states wish to yet the money from

introduced an urgent deficiency bill
