MORE RAIN IN KANSAS.
Both the Kaw and Missouri Rivers
Show Flood SIGNS.

Kansas City, June 19.-FOr the third
time in as many weeks the Missouri and
KaW rivers have given cause for alarm
a this point and those considerably fur
Their up by threats of returning flood con-
ditiOns.
This morning heavy rains i'm eastern
Kansas and along the lower valley of the
Missouri caused a rise of one foot be-
tween here and Topeka and at this point
a rise of over TWO and One-half feet dur
ing the past Iwenty-fOur hours was re-
corded on the Missouri river gauge.
The heavy rain last night in this see
ton extended but a little above Topeka.
and along the Missouri some distance be-
low Omaha. Above these points the rains
were light and affected flood conditions
but little.
Kansas City. which is just recovering
from the effects of the recent flood. will
probably not be greatly affected by last
nights rise. although it is probable in
some quarters the work of cleaning up
and preparing for a return of normal con-
ditions will be retarded.
Railroad schedules have improved con-
siderably during the past seven days and
it is thought the train service VIII be
given added interference. Yet for the
first time i'm two weeks livestock ship
ments were received at the stock yards
II is probable. however. that the present
rise will not interfere further with the
movement of cattle shipments.
