FLOOD MENACE.
Comes for a Third Time In Three
Weeks to Kansas City.

Kansas City, Mo-, June 19.-For the
third time in as many weeks the Mis-
souri, and Kaw river have given cause
for alarm at the menace Of returning
flood conditions which may yet bring
a return of conditions of 1903.
This morning heavy rains in eastern
Kansas and along the lower valley Of
the Missouri caused an approximate
rise of one foot in the Kaw between
here and Topeka, and at this point a
rise of over two and one-half feet dur
ing the past "a hours was recorded on
the Missouri river gauge.
The heavy rain last night extended
a little above Topeka, and along the
Missouri some distance below Omaha
It is probable that the work of clean
ing up and preparing for a return of
normal conditions will be retarded
Railroad schedules have improved
considerably during the past several
days and it is thought that train SER
vice will be given added interference.
Yesterday for the first time in two
weeks live stock shipments were re-
ceived at the stock yards.

HEAVY RAIN FALLS
Nearly Two Inches in Topeka Last
Night.

One of the showers which was ao-
vertised in the government forecast
sent out Thursday morning visited this
locality late last evening and from
O'Clock until nearly morning there
was something doing in the rain line
every few minutes. The affair opened
with a light shower, brilliant fiashes
of lightning crashes of near thunder,
gusts of shrieking wind and over 1t all
was a sky filled to overf1owing with
banks of black threatening clouds.
After the prelude came series of
showers and then rain in sheets ana
the performance was repeated several
times during the night, the total
amount of precipitation which found
its way to mother earth during the
night amounting to 1872 inches. The
rainfall during the night was enough
to cause the river to cease falling, re-
verse, and start upward again.
Last night the river gauge recorded
1873 feet of water and the stream was
falling at the rate of three-fourths Of
an inch an hour. This morning the
same gauge recorded 1873 feet, or
rise of is feet during the night. The
local rain conditions are to be blamed
for the reversal of form on the part
of the Kaw for every little stream
tributary to the river has experienced
a rise and is emptying its food waters
has resulted. The result. however, is
merely local and there is no danger
of a serious rise. The stream is four
and one-half feet below the overflow
mark of 215 feet and the water which
fell during the night can not possibly
cause a rise of over three feet.

MUST NOT BET.
Heavy Penalties for Making Wagers
| on the Primary.

Somebody, some place in Kansas is
going to get into trouble shortly on
account Of making bets on the result
Of the Kansas primary election. The
primary law is strict on this as it says
made on the result of the primary.
Here are the words Of the primary
law:
Whoever bets or wagers any
money. property. or other val
liable thing upon the result Of a pri-
mary held under the provisions OF
this act, or bets or wagers money
property or other things of value upon
the number of votes which shall be
upon whom shall receive the greatest
number Of votes at primary, OF
agrees to pay any other person any
money. property or other thing OF
value in event that a primary shall
result in one way. or in the event thai
elected or nominated at any primary
or shall receive a greater number Of
votes than others, upon conviction
| thereof shall be fined in a sum no,
less than one hundred dollars MOI
more than one thousand dollars, OIL
be imprisoned in the county jail not
exceeding one year, or both, in the
discretion of the court"
A bet of five hundred dollars thai
Leland and Long will be the nominees
Of the Republican party has been
posted at Chanute. w. J. Bailey, for
mer governor, has offered to bet the
same amount that Leland will be the
Republican nominee and there are
several small bets in various parts OF
the state that w. R. Stubs and J.
L. Bristow will be nominated. Thus
far no one has covered the money. But
it is not the fellow who takes a BET
that is likely to get into trouble. II
is the man that makes the offer.
Since the offers to wager were made
both sides have been anxious1y watch
ing for something to happen. Neither
one wants to make the first move to
have man arrested but as soon as
one side acts the others will have
some one arrested who has been talk
ing too much about the result of the
primary and is willing to back his talk
with money.

GERMANY Is SATISFIED.
Taft Is Thought to Be About Right
Man for President.

Berlin. June 19.-The nomination of
Secretary of War Taft for the pres1-
dency is published in brief form In
the Berlin papers this morning. The
news came too late. however. for edl-
torial comment. Emperor William has
been fully informed through the Ger
man embassy at Washington of Mr..
Taft's personality and the likelihood
of his nomination
The news was commented on pleas
antly in official quarters this morning.
From the German point of view Sec
retarv Taft is regarded as a suitable
statesman to carry out the construc-
tion. of the Panama canal, the Philip
pine. the naval. the far eastern trade
and the other general foreign pollcles
of the present administration. Inter-
national controversies are little known
and get little attention in Germany.
French Opinion.
Paris. June 19.--The nomination OF
Secretary of War Taft for the presi-
dency has been regarded by the
French press as a foregone conclusion
and comment on the result at Chicago
is slow in making its appearance. The
Petite Republique considers MT. Tait $
nomination as victory for the spirit
i of Imperialism 1.-The great democ-
racv-" the paper says, after avoiding
this spirit for so long time ends by
acceding to it; it is a bad symptom.
The Temps says the services render
ed by Mr.. Taft to his country fully JUS
tifv his nomination and after review
ing his varied activity and laying
stress upon his successful conduct OF
delicate negotiations with the vatican
and the japanese government, attrib-
| utes his success to his frankness and
o,,iet tenacity. In conclusion the pa
per says:
"He will make a strong candidate
and an excellent president"
Vatican Is Pleased.
| Rome. June 19.-Athough it was
| fullv expected here the nomination OF

duced a good impression. This is espec-
ia1lv true at the vatican where Mr.

Mrs. Carrie Belle Busby, nee Bouk-
night, was born August 20, 1888, and
died May 10, 1908. Aged "a years,
months and 20 days.
On December 20, 1906, she was mar
ried to Mr.. J. W. Busby. Their mar
riage life was of short duration, but
they lived happily together. To them
was born about two months previous
to her death a baby boy. She had
not been in good health since the
birth of her child, but she bore her
sickness with patience. Almost her
last words were that she was ready
to go, and that those whom she left
behind should meet her in heaven.
She leaves husband, q baby boy,
father, sister, two brothers and a
number of relatives and friends to
mourn her loss.
Weep not, dear ones, for she is now
at rest. Your loss is her everlasting
gain. You can 60 to her in heaven if
you but will. Rev. J. B. Haigler.
