Again Make Their
Appearance in the River.
Annual Election of Officers by
X. and L. of S.

Sand bars formerly familiar objects
in the river, are again present. In
the past few days more than a dozen
of them have made their appearance.
This is due to the rapid fall of the
river which reached the 81 foot point
this morning. This is the lowest since
May 10, when the rainy season COM
menced.
The river will probably continue to
fall. No rains have been reported in
the kaw Valley in the past twenty
four hours and the rain at Topeka has
every appearance of being a local
shower.
