The water at this place Is higher than
it has been for Is years. In 1899 we had
a flood similar to the one now. The
heavy rains the past week caused the
water to begin rising rapidly by Tuesday.
AS early as Wednesday part of the low
er district had become flooded and people
began moving out. The water continued
to rise and Thursday the whole lower part
of, the town was flooded. Houses are
almost submerged, barns overturned and
floating. The few houses in the lower
part that are not flooded are completely
surrounded and the only means of getting
out is by boat. The three general stores,
Prather & Co.'S, J. w. Chaney's and N. A.
Bailey's are flooded waist deep and bust
ness is suspended. B. H. Masters moved
the postoffice to one of the houses in the
upper district. The school house and
church are also flooded.
Mr.. Millikan, of Millikan & Aldridge
Co., New York City. arrived here Saturday
morning. With Manager Lon Bryson and
others he made trip in boat to view
the mill machinery which was bought by
the firm some time ago. Half of the ma
chinery had been removed to the bank
preparatory to loading on a barge to be
taken to Irvine and is completely sub
merged.
The ferry has been entirely suspended
since Tuesday on account of high water
and heavy drift
Many people from Richmond, Jolly
Ridge and surrounding towns came down
yesterday to witness the sight.
The water is about on stand but at
this time Saturday, 1890 a. M it has not
begun to fall.

RUIN is SEEN IN FREE SUGAR

Washington, May 12.-While the
Underwood tariff bill was going on
its merry way through the house,
the western senator's, both Demo
Gratis and Republicans, became the
apparent hope of the people OF their
states who prophesy untold injury
to agricultural interests in the wool
and sugar schedules, and capitol
hill is being bombarued with the
protests OF a mighty constituency
Senators Thompson and Bristow
have been confronted with these OBJ
jections, and have been importuned
to view them from the angle of the
best interests of their state and OF
the great region west of the Missis-
sippi. Free sugar in three years will,
1t is represented, cause a loss of
$4,000, 900 year in revenue to
the national government, and will
practically wipe out the far heavier
investments in the beet sugar and
sugar cane industries, and the mil
lions Of dollars they annually distri-
butte through the channels Of gen.
eral industry. The sugar producers
have shown congress that sugar
beet competition has reduced the
retail market price of sugar from
six to four and one-half cents a
pound, and they assert thAt free
sugar will restore 1he absolute
monopoly OF the refiners, and that
with the destruction Of the domestic
industry the American people will
pay the penalty in extortfonate
prices for sugar. A point that has
been particularly emphasized, per-
haps owing to the summoning to
Washington by Secretary Lane Of
the men interested in the various ir-
rigation projects, is the effect of
free sugar upon settlement and cul-
tivation of irrigated lands. 1t is
pointed out that irrigated land be-
comes very profitable when used for
the growing of the sugar beet, and
the rotation of crops is of immense
benefit to the soil. The process
when applied to agriculture acts as
a preventative against over-producA
ton of some of the western crops,
which If sugar beet culture is wiped
out are likely to glut the market,
in loss to the producers.

SEEK FREE sANITARIUM SITE.
Kansas Tubercular Hospital Board
Is Ready for Offers.

Topeka, May 10.-The Kansas
commission for a tuberculosis san
itarium is ready to receive offers OF
sites for the institution. The ap-
preparations do not become avail
able until July 1:
The legislature of 1911 appro-
priated $4,000 for the sanitarium,
which was located at Newton. But
the land would cost 500 an acre
The Democratic legislature would
not permit that so the old law was
repealed and a new law passed, ap-
propsiating S49,6OO for the sani-
tarium.
1t required that the site selected
must be given to the state and all
the money spent in improvements.
The county or city which gets the
sanitarium must give the state $50
acres of land. 1t must also have
good water and railroad facilities.

jections and who was not approved
by Mr.. Johntz. II Is understood thai
the other appointees we're satisfac'
tory TO Mr.. Johntz but this appoint
ment was put over him and 1t was
intanded to clinch the matter at to-
days meeting by approval OF his
bond.
II Is unfortunate for the city that
the course has been taken 4 Com
mission government was>supposed 70
be a preventive OF just such things.
No council under the old system ev-
ier attempted that method Of hand
ling the appointments by manning
them in advance after an election
ana before the new officers could
be sworn In.
While the city greatly regrets the
resignation of Mr.. Forney 1t Is DIFF
ficult to see how he could have done
otherwise than he did and retain his
self respect. Commission govern
ment is supposed to secure efficiency
first and not to make appointments
on any basis Of politics or personal
favoritism. If it is to succeed In
giving the city good government
that principle must be followed and
when two men like Mr.. Forney and
Mr.. Johntz openly disapprove any
other course it is greatly to their
credit.

there. Under the law liquor de-
Iivered in Kansas must be paid for

Manhattan, May 12.-Kansas

professor of entomology at the agri-
cultural college, and state entomol-

straight that the chinch bugs have
been so dangerous. This is the first
time that six years straight OF
chinch bugs have threatened Kansas
crops. Once before there was run
of three years straight. Last year
the number of chinch bugs had in

ed that he would resign. Commits
sioner Johntz who stands with him
on the unfitnesS of the appointment
refused to second the motion to &C
cept the resignation. Mayor Mich
OILS seconded it and he and Forney
voted for it, Johntz not voting.
Stoves was to take his position
tomorrow but his bond which was
presented to the commission this
morning was laid on the table by
the votes of Forney and Johntz.
Mr.. Forney's Position.
81 simply will not allow anybody
to run over me-" said Mr.. Forney
this afternoon. ~ am responsible
for the work on the streets and | do
not propose to allow some one who
is not responsible tell me who is
to be the street commissioner. That
is not the way to get efficiency. l.
have no desire to dictate to others
but do propose to run my own de-
partment well and to do that must
have men who can do the work
satisfactorily"
Mr.. Johntz and Mr.. Forney have
taken the position that the street
job needed a young man with ginger
and initiative who could go ahead
and give the city live service. They
wanted to allow E. Rowland to hold
the place until the right man could
be found. They have stood together
for this. Mayor Nichols seems to
have had some obligation to Mr..
Stoves who is considered by the
other two as not qualified for the
place and refused to follow their
suggestion. He insisted on putting
Stoves on the job.
A Loss to Abilene.
Mr.. Forney's resignation is a
great loss to the city. For four years
as commissioner of water depart
ment and two years as utility COM
missioner under the commission
government he has given a service
to the city that could not have been
bought with thousands of dollars.
He has taken time from his duties
as president of the Belle Springs
Creamery company to give service
to the people because he was inter-
ested in building up the town and
he should have the hearty thanks
of every citizen for this splendid
work. Just why he should have
been hampered in selecting the APP
pointee who is directly under his
charge is not clear. 1t will be con-
demned by the people of Abilene.
1t is seldom that such men as For
ney can be secured and it was the
