When the flames had been extinguished the list was check ed over, and the discovery was then made that three men were missing. Immediately efforts to rescue them were made. The first man to enter the mine returned in haste, and in- formed those in waiting that the mine was filled with foul air, and it was al most impossible to breathe. The min CTS all expressed willingness to risk contact with the foul air if the missing men could be rescued and accordingly two rescue parties were formed, and the men started into the mine in groups of five. Soon after, a score or more of rescuers had entered the mine Some of those first in appeared at the foot of elevator shaft carrying the un conscious forms of rescuers who had succumbed to the noxious air.

 trOus Flood.

Topeka, June S-All of North Topeka is under water tonight, and 5000 people were driven from their homes on account of the high water in the Raw river. 1t is expected that the river will reach the highest point before morning. It registered 27 feet four inches at 9 o'clock. and was expected to go to 2S feet
 No one was drowned or injured in the flood this year, as the peo- pie had sufficient warning to get their household goods nov ed to higher grounds and to get away themselves. There is not a single house in North Topeka with an occupant tonight The police in boats rescued 200 today. These had refused to leave their homes yesterday. but today they were begging for help. It was not expected that the floods would be serious on account of the dikes built since the flood in 1903. This morning the dikes broke and the water poured over the Union Pacific tracks. The grade held the water for a while, but at six o'clock tonight a span of track 1000 feet long had been washed away, and the river was pouring through the break from five to eight feet deep and run hing like a mill race
 The floor of the Union Pacific depot is covered with foot of water and is the highest point in North Topeka. Three blocks north the water is five feet deep in Kansas Avenue, and the cross streets were running with a current too strong to poll boat against it.

,1oRM VISITS PRESCOTT
r.n,iderabIe Damage Done by Hard
 ,xmd th Afternoon.

rh;s afternoon about 1 o'clock u.,+h suddenness that was ap- Salling. a huge wind cloud from ISo west. struck Prescott with a sn. ,urv that sent terror to the soarts of a large portion of our noulation, and did considerable aomage. The storm was follow Sr downpour of rain, which soptinued for some length of time and kept indoors a big por- tion of business men who were at home when the storm came.
 The chief damage at this place consisted of up-rooting trees, howing down fences and tele- nhone poles, wrecking flower and vegetable gardens, and damag- ing young orchards.
 The storm extended over the ontire portion of southw estern ,rkansas, and reports from Cur don Hope. Fulton and Texarkana state that the damage at those paces was nominal, although there was an awful heavy wind.
 NOTES.
 Most of our business men had windows up when they went to dinner, and returned to find sta tionary, letters, duns, receipts, and in fact everything not fas- tened down securely, in the mid l dle of the floor.
 W. R. White Jr. whose young korhcard is indeed a source of Emuch pride, lost a number Of Etrees, and was otherwise consid- |gably damaged.
 4 large tree, the roots of which pass under the concrete walk in front of |. F.. McMillion's, did not 20 down, but during the storm swayed to and fro, lifting the walk up and down like the ! breat thing of some huge monster. The home of ]. D. Shackelford, principal of colored school, was fitted from it's blocks, and caused a stampede among the inmates.
 The telephone girl at Hope re- ports the same hard wind that came near blowing her away.
 The beautiful flower garden Of Mrs. John C. White, which is ever the admiration of all who see it, was most sadly wrecked, and must cause anguish in her heart,
 When the storm first struck, the dispatcher at Little Rock {xired the employees at the depot here that ali southwest Afkan- sas was being blown away, and Tor them to vacate the depot at once, and Dale Wilson is said to have been the first man out.
 John A. Davis was at home when the worst was going on, Looking out of the window saw large tree go down in Dr. Hin tons yard, a half block of fence tumble in front of J. c. Young's, telephone pole fall at r.Guth- fles, and a dozen or more flower pots in his own yard rolling around like tops, and concluded mat the thing was coming off.
 The blow pipe leading from the
 1an planer to the power house

was blown down, and a number of electric light poles felled, and there will be no lights tonight.
 That the storm did no more damage is a source of much grat- ificatiOn to everybody.
