KANSAS CITY, Mo-, July 9.-An
streams in this section today were either
falling or have become stationary. There
are no indications of rain.
Train service is improved. Schedules
still are far from being adhered to.
No additional loss of life is reported.
At Kansas City the Kansas river this
morning stood at 21.S feet fall OF two
ten,hs of an inch since midnight, anO Is
gradually receding. The Missouri river
here stood at 25.1, and has been station
ary since o'clock last night, with the
prediction that 1t will begin falling today.
At Springfield, Mo-. where the Jordon
river flooded part of the city yesterday,
and at Ottawa, Kan, where Marais des
chagnes swept through the town. the
waters are fast leaving the streets. Mer-
chants have begun cleaning out their
stores and the people are returning to
their homes.
At Pattonsburg and Chillicothe, Mo-,
and vicinity there are many scenes of
desolation as the people move back into
their mud-filled homes. Some apprehen-
sion is felt for many farmers and their
families living in the country surround
ing Chillicothe.
The Grand river there is still miles
wide Many farmhouses are yet under
water.
Live stock and crops have been swept
away. 1t is not known If all persons
have succeeded In gaining the hills.
At Topeka and Manhattan. Kan, the
waters continue to fall, and all fear Of
further flood damage has been dissipated

pointed superintendent of the State, War

days ago, but was not actually made un-
