MISSOURI RIVER RISING
Stage in Vicinity of Leavenworth
Highest Since 1908.
LARGE AREA IS UNDER WATER
Heavy Damage TO Truck Farms and
wheat Fields Reported-DanEer
Point Reached at st.
Joseph.

KANSAS CITY. Mo-, June 23-The Mis-
souri, river from Leavenworth to Omaha Is
rising steadily as the result OF recent heavy
rams, added to the annual June rise, and
at some points II is at the flood stage. The
stream Is higher than at any time since
the disastrous flood year of 1903. but a
repetition OF the damage is not expected.
The river is out OF its banks today in the
bottoms here, covering some of the truck
farms. In the east bottoms several families
are preparing to move to higher ground
The haw river also is bank fun However.
no great damage is likely at Kansas City.
Near Leavenworth hundreds of acres of
wheat and corn in the Missouri bottoms are
submerged and water is up to the tracks
Of the Missouri Pacific Burlington. Maple
Leaf and Rock Island in a number Of
places.
At st. Joseph the Missouri is UP to the
danger point.
At Elwood, Kan, across the river from
st. Joseph, a hamlet, a strange condition
prevails. Part of the place has disappeared
into the river. Day by day for several
years pieces of the land dropped into the
water until now OF an original section Of
land Of GOO acres plated. only fifty acres
remain intact Several times houses have
been moved back from the banks to ap-
parent places of safety, only to be COM
PEELED finally to retreat further from the
stream.

GREATER SAFETY IN TRAVEL
Trnckmen'E Union begins Campaign
for state and National InEOec-
ton of Railroads.

KANSAS CITY, June 2S-Presdcnt
Roosevelt and the governors of several
states have been asked to aid the National
Union OF Railway Trackmen In a campaign
Tor greater safety In railway travel. J. I.
Shepard OF Fort Scott, Kan, secretary Of
the organization. yesterday sent out a
letter addressed to the president and sew
eral governors in which he SAYS:
IF we can obtain the cooperation OF all
who should be interested we will have as
safe conditions for railway travel In our
country as prevail in Europe. We certainly
should have either government OF state
inspection of railway tracks. Some one
should be held responsible to the people
for keeping the tracks in proper repair
and properly patroled
1T is a curious condition OF affairs, but
II is true. We have state inspection Of
factories and mines, OF beer, BARRIERS,
pharmacists and dentists; there is state
control over the product OF the busy bee,
and the farmer who raises wheat must pay
a state inspection fee before he can market
his grain. But there is now no law that Is
observed that provides for the inspection
OF railroad tracks,

ON ALTAR OF INDUSTRY
Nearly Thousand Fatalities In Mills
and Mines of Pittsburg in n
Year.

PITTSBURG, Pa. June 3.-"Human
Lives Sacrificed Upon the Altar of In
dustry" might well be the title of the
hlotter in the office of the coroner of AL
leghency count, a volume that mutely
proclaims upon it's pages what It costs be-
sides money for Pittsburg and its district
Of smoky mills and gridironed territory
to maintain its prestige in the milling,
mining and mercantile marts of the coun-
try, and retain it's title of Workshop of
the World"
This volume, an official record demanded
by tho laws of the commonwealth, shows
that almost so per cent of the deaths are
violent and are the result directly and
indirectly Of the unceasing rush and grind
Of the industries in the Pittsburg district
that are continually driven, night and day,
to supply the demands of the worlds mar
kets. Deaths from natural causes. con-
tagious diseases, suicides, murders and
accidents met in the ordinary walks Of
life are not considered in this percentage
attributed to the industrial juggernaut."
Twenty-six hundred and sixty deaths
were reported to the coroner in the year
1906, 919 of which were the results of acct
dents in mills, mines or on railroads, the
industries most essential to the progress
OF Pittsburg

JOHNSON RIVAL OF BRYAN
Governor of Minnesota Out for Demo-
cratic Nomination, Says
His Secretary.
"norernnr johnson of MInnesota Is

Governor johnson Of Minnesota Is a
candidate for the democratic nomination
for president. We hear a great deal about
Mr.. Bryan being a candidate again, but
we of the North Star state want to say
that we have a man wlro will be before
tho next national convention. He is re-
ceiving great encouragement from the press
all over the country. He will continue to
develop strength"
This statement was made yesterday by
Frank A. Day of st. Paul, private secre-
tary to the governor of Minnesota. Mr
Day has been one of the democratic wheel
horses in Minnesota politics for many
years. He is a newspaper man and has
served several sessions in the legislature
where John j. Johnson, now governor,
served and was not nearly as prominent In
the affairs of his party as was Mr.. Day
But one day johnson, also an editor fell
heir to the democratic nomination for gov
ernor. and that settled II. That proved
TO be the divinity that was shaping his
end. He is serving his second term as
governor, being the second democrat ever to
be elected governor in Minnesota. John
Lind was the first.
Mr.. Day was en- route from the Pacific
coast to St. Paul While here he called
upon Colonel ]. j. Ryder, who was mem
ber of the Minnesota legislature at the
same time with Mr.. Day, and also fellow
newspaper man. He also called at the
Young Mems Christian association rooms
TO visit with Secretary Wade. who was a
fellow printer with Mr.. Day years ago.
They learned the business together.

LOCAL OPERATORS FOR SMALL
Omaha TeleEraphers Are a Unit I'm
Supporting the Frisco
Fight.

The Omaha local No 10 Of the Com
merCial Telegraphers' Union OF America at
a meeting held I'm Baright hail Sunday aft
ernoon, fully endorsed the action of Prcsi-
dent Small Of that union and pledged its
members to the full support OF their head
officials IN their efforts to secure a favor
able termination OF the San Francisco
strike. Reports read indicated there was
no likelihood Of the omaha telegraphcrs
being called out at present, but the resolu-
tion provides for the emergency should It
come.
Steps were taken to see to the enforce
ment Of the Nebraska law providing a PEN
atty for officials of corporations who use
intimidation of any kind against members
of labor unions or secret societies. The
matter was brought UP through a report
that a superintendent had recently come to
the city end endeavored to secure promises
from several members Of the union that
they would withdraw and who is said to
have used strong language to those who in
sisted on standing their ground. A COM
mittee will be appointed to watch this fea-
ture of the struggle between the companies
an dtheir men
New Members Take MIN.
Several new members were taken in at
dropped out were reinstated A committee
was appointed to gather Information and
furnish It to the press. This committee
is made up OF one man from each OF the
five branches Of the commercial telegraph
work. other members were instructed to
do no talking for publication.
The secretary read an official report from
headquarters, showing there was no conflict
between President Small and Vice President
Koenenkamp and that the slight misunder-
standing over the San Francisco strike
was due to the inability of the two men
to get into communication promptly. Vice
President Koenenkamp made an official
statement to the effect that perfect har-
mony exists and that President Small is
fully supported by the executive board.
Considerable feeling was shown over the
position taken by sub-chief operators with
regard to the union. 1t was stated that
these under officials had benefited equally
with the rank and file in the general raise
secured by the union from the telegraph
companies and that their opposition to
the union was unfair.
A report on conditions at San Fran
cisco showed that about two days busi-
ness was hanging on hooks and that mes
sages were passing through Omaha from
twenty-four to forty-eight. hours old
Members were urged In no manner TO
Interfere with men working in the San
Francisco office and there will be no tam
perine with wires or equipment How

BERLIN LIKE BIG VILLAGE
DIR. Ernest II. NeufeId Declares Ber-
liners Have Few Reflnements
Present in other cities.

BERLIN. June %. - Especially - DR..
Ernest Hans Neufeld, writing in his new
weekly review, the Begleiter. declares
that Berlin. in spite of its position as the
capital OF great empire and notwith-
standing the great numbe- 7f intellectual
leaders. artists, Rutho I merchant
princes included a n dnhabitants
is really nothing mora ~ ,ge village.
The writer comes to r 4 ion after
a careful study of L q " York
and Paris, which he Il :. pr the
purpose of being able to = these
three cities with the GERM ~. He
criticises the manners and Y of
the Berliners with merciless I'd
cites a number of examples Il ~
their primitive simplicity in
spects.
Having occasion to confer on business
with a great German manufacturer who
employed several thousand hands, the
writer found that this industrial leader
wore no callar, tie or cuffs but envcloped
himself in a coarse wooden garment tn
stead Of a shirt. He was wearing the
cheapest possible kind of boots and he
was smoking a II penny cigar. On the
following day the writer paid visit to
a great German scientist and found thnt
the CeleDrateu SCnOlar naQ an uHWdSueu
neck. unclean hands, the manners of a
Hooligan and voice like the hound of
the Baskervilles. Investigating the vari-
Gus features of night life in Berlin, the
writer found that Germans Of good 80
cial standing whom he met at different
pleasure resorts showed an unaccount-
able desire to introduce themselves to
him after one or two minutes acquaint-
ance, never forgetting to communicate 10
him their names, titles and dignities In
full. Going into society, the writer found
that the Berlin women we're, as rule,
dressed like Kitchen maids on q rainy
winter Sunday, and that apart from thcir
appalling habits Of dress were hopelessly
unintelligent and uninteresting.
Pursuing bis Investigations among other
classes of Berlin population, the writer
found that shopkeepers, walters and
workingmen were, as rule, far less po-
lite than their like in London, Paris and
New York. These and many other con-
clusions lead the writer to declare that
Berlin, in spite Of its central location and
It's great population, does not possess the
qualities of truly great city.
