Kansas City, July 12.-With hun

Two railroads, the Atchison, Topeka

Practically all Chicago trains are
being detoured over the Missouri Pa

leaving Kansas City last night, the
railroads promised that they would be

The Missouri river here continued
to rise slowly yesterday and the Kan
sas river was slightly above its Sat
