FLOOD CONDITIONS
Wichita Almost Submerged—Topehu and
Kansas City, Kansas. Fear Another Flood.
Wichita. July 11.—The water is sou'.'- higher on the different streets of
the city, while it is receding on others. The water on Douglas and
Topeka areaues and Main street appears to lie declining some. For the
first time in two weeks ihe dally weather bulletin predicts fair weather
today. Keports from Vclley Center, Sedgwick. Halstead and otb» r
place; above Wichita tell of material d.oreat-' • in the Arkansas rivers.
From daylight, when the overflow from the Arkansas rivers wu
about at a standstill, the water lagan to increase. It was continuing'to
do so when dark came la -1 night, although at about 12 o'clock the water
in most jtarts of the city was at a standstill and in a great many places
the overflow was receding.
With the water rising at 8 and 11 o'clock lust night, it was a hard
matter to make anyone believe that ibe waters of all three streams--
the Little and Big Arkansas rivt rs and Chisholm creek, were receding.
General Conditions Over the City.
The riMints of the associate charities and the county commissioner of
the ixsir In the court house wire thrown open to the flixxl victims and
about 75 p« t.p!c sought shelter there for the night. Yesterday the asso-
ciate charities served 175 lunches, and will probably do the same to-
day. In numerous other eases they have sent provlslous to different
families who are sheltered elsewhere.
The situation at the Manhattan hotel, as with a number of other
places of busint ss along Douglas, was serious with Ihe manager of the
hotel, also to those going to and coming from the hotel. The water
stood eighteen inches deep In the office, and, in fact, throughout the
lower fbxtr of the building. All business in this portion of the house
watt suspended with the exception of the clerk, who sat at the desk ami
continued to make arrangements for the further convenience of tho
guests.
The water from the Rig Arkansas overflows for a great distance
south front Lewis street, and the first place it crosses Main is ut Lincoln
street, where it llows across, the width of the street. After crossing it
takes u southeasterly course, flooding practically the whole of that
portion of the city as far south as Harry street. From there the water
is confined to a narrow strip of territory, until it enters the river again
on the sou tit.
The overflow from Chisholm creek passes down over the eastern por-
tion of the city south of Douglas and unites with the water e niing
across from the lllg Arkansas at the railroad south, and while there
are patches of ground In many of the blocks where there is no water,
yet for the most part the south part of the city as far us Harry street
is under water.
It was feared, and some fear still exists In ihe minds of the police
and other authorities, that Ihe wulls of different buildings near Ihe
corner of Topeka anil Douglas avenue may collapse.
Tho water in that vicinity llows with such a strong current that>thc
mortar is saiii to be washing out from the bricks, and in some instances,
the dirt from tho foundations. This could continue but a very short
time without resulting in some of the walls collapsing. An attempt
was made to have stones hauled to that vicinity for the purpose of pro-
tecting the walls, but up until a late hour lust night this had not been
done.
Owing to tho water washing rapidly down the different streets it
became necessary to close a number of them yesterday afternoon.
Ropes were stretched across the streets and traffic prohibited. Large
holes were washed in some of the streets and travel was rendered so
dangerous that Chief of Police Frank Burt, ordered them closed. Sev-
eral accidenls occurred in these places.
On College Hill there are a number of farmers from the neighborhood
of Derby who could not get any further and were viewing the flood.
They were surprised to see the awful condition In Wichita and were
disappointed when they learned that they could not reach the stores
to buy goods.
Threatened With Repetition of Last Year's Flood.
Topeka. Kans.—There is a threatened repetition of the terrible flood
of last year and Ihe people of North Topeka have all moved to thi3
side or have made preparation to meet such a rise in tho river as was
experienced last year.
The river Is within six feel of the record and is still rising. People
have been warned that a flood may he expected and they have either
come to the south side of the river or are in such shape that they can
come on a moment’s notice.
The water is whirling through the streets of North Topeka and is
threatening every minute to rise higher and wash away homes.
There is no disorder in the,moving. The people have been expecting
a repetition of the disaster of last year and are prepared. They quietly
moved their goods to the second floors of their homes or have brought
them to the south side of the liver. All day the bridge over the Raw
was crowded with people who were moving their household goods to
the soulh side. There were also herds of catlle and other live stock.
The water doing the most damage on the North Side comes
from Soldier Creek, which is higher than was ever known, and it is
expected that this water will soon recede unless there are more heavy
rgins.
Flood Conditions Grow Grave at Kansas City.
, Kansas City.—The Kaw overflowed its banks near the Missouri Pa-
cific. and the water is now spreading over the west bottoms, or whole-
sale district of Kansas City, Mo. The water reached the Union station
before daylight.
The Armourdale district of Kansas City, Kan., has been deserted,
its inhabitants having been driven from their homes by the overflow
of the Kaw river for the second time in thirteen months.
Mayor Gilbert of Kansas City. Kan., is using all the means at his com-
mand to care for the thousands of homeless people who have been
driven from the flood-stricken district. Last night he sent the following
telegram to the secretary of war:
“Ten thousand people have been driven from their homes in Kansas
City, Kan., by flood. I earnestly request that you direct commander at
Fort Leavenworth to issue rations as we may need.”
At Argentine, further southwest, fifty families were driven from their
homes, but the damage was light.
Tons of meat and carcasses were removed from the packing houses,
while catlle. hogs and sheep by hundreds were driven to safe places.
Build Boat on Bridge.
Wichita. July 9.—John Horner, who
lives on the south bank of the Big Ar-
kansas river near Seneca street, tele-
phoned to town for lumber with which
to build a boat. He was water bound
and his property was suffering. He
entertained hopes that if he could get
the lumber, he could build a boat and
pile at least a portion of his property
to higher ground. The lumber was
delivered and was received by him,
on the Seneca street bridge. There
Mr. Horner set about constructing
the boat with which he expected to
save some of his possessions.
Wheat Ruined by Flood.
Wichita. July 9.—Between here and
Valley Center there are probably
three thousand acres of wheat com-
pletely flooded which means that it
is all worthless. The average yield
of that part of the county would have
been about thirty-five bushels per
acre. Figuring wheat at CO cents per
bushel, which is the present market
price, the loss to this* part of Sedgv
wick county will be $G3,000. Sedg-
wick county, taken as a whole, will
probably be damaged $300,000.
Seventeen More Picked Up.
Aberdeen, Scotland, July 9.—Seven-
teen survivors of the wreck of the
Danish steamer Norge, were landed
here by the steam trawler Largo Bay.
They were picked up front one of the
boats of the Norge.
Like a Desolate Waste.
Wichita, July 9.—North of the pack-
ing houses there are hundreds of acres
of wheat wholly washed away. That
which had been shocked and stacked
was floated down the current of the
swiftly running body of water. The
uncut wheat fields look like a deso-
lated waste.
Ottawa Strikes Gas.
Ottawa, Kan., July 8.—Ottawa’s
first real gas well was brought in by
the Chippewa Hills Gas and Devel-
opment company, an organization of
local men. Later tests indicate to
the expert that the well has a capa-
city of two million cubic feet a day.
and that a new gas field of large vol-
ume has been opened. Another well
will be sunk at once. Local parlies
have been prospecting for five years
past, but have struck nothing more
encouraging than occasional spurts of
gas. Another well like the one
brought in yesterday will supply the
town's needs.
A franchise has already been grant-
ed the company by the city.
Officsrs of Ottawa Assembly.
Ottawa, Kan., July 8.—At a meet-
ing of the directors of the Ottawa
Chautauqua assembly, the Rev. H. \V.
Chaffee of Fredonia was re-elected
president; D. B. Shuey of Emporia,
first vice president; Dr. J. B. S. Riggs
of Ottawa, second vice president;
the Rev. C. S. Nushaum of Ottawa,
secretary, and A. E. Skinner ot Otta-
wa, treasurer.
Kuroki Advancing.
St. Petersbury, July 1L—A special
dispatch from New Chwang, says Gen-
eral Kuroni is advancing all along
the line and adds that Japanese of-
ficers are organizing Chinese bandit
bands throughout the Liao valley for
an attack on Mukden.
Communication Restored.
New Y'ork. July tl.—1The commer-
cial cable company sends out the fol-
lowing notice; "We are advised that
communication with Foo Cht-w has
been restored by land line, which is
working slowly.”

Wichita. July 9.—The conditions
at J o'clock this morning were us fol-
lows:
The sky was partly cloudy, ns If
getting in readiness for show i rs pre-
dicted by the local weather office.
Both the lllg and Little Arkansas
rivers at this place appeared at a
standstill, with no material Increase.
The overflow on Main street und
Douglas avenue hail decreased about
four Inches since 0 o'clock.
Valley Center reports a decrease of
six Inches, followed by a rise of two
inches each hour.
The water surrounding the pump-
ing station is the same as at C o'clock
last evening.
The city engineer thinks the worst
of the flood is past.
Chisholm creek is rising slowly, fol-
lowing a decrease of nearly ouo foot
yesterday.
A veritable Patti Revere was the
man who rode the streets near the
Little river early yesterday morning
and notified the people living on low-
lands to vacate their homes. The
water had broken through the dykes
and unless notified of the approach-
ing danger some might have been
caught like rats in a trap.
One hundred feet of dykes were
washed out at Fifteenth street along
the Little Arkansas river, according
to reports from that district yester-
day ulteriKxm, and the water was
flowing at a rapid vale.
It Is almost impossible to conceive
of the amount of territory covered
by the waters of the three streams
namely, the Big Arkansas, the Little
Arkansa and Chisholm creek.
I Thousands of people lined the
strt ts of Wichita all day yesterday
and others traversed the flooded
stri ■ ts in vehicles while Inspecting
tho high waters. Every kind of ve-
hicle, including the automobile, was
pressed Into service.
In West Wichita the low lnnils lying
along the river und north of the Mis-
souri Pacific tracks are completely
inundated and many families have
been compelled to seek places of
safety on higher ground. Along North
Handley avenue the water was from
two to six feet deep and a large
I amount of live stock was rescued
with much difficulty.
Wichita. Kan., July 8.—At Fennel's
Grove, seven miles northwest of Wich-
ita. the Little Arkansas river is ten
Inches higher than during June, and
the water is increasing at a rate of
two inches an hour.
At the Wichita Water company's
plant, on the Island in tin* Lillie river,
tin- water is higher than ever before
since the plant was first built.
The Big Arkansas river is iC.m
feet above high water mark, but still
two feet front a ixiint eleven feet high
I reached In 1877.
Chisholm creek shows signs of aha*
ing ami the flooded district ot the
Must End is securing relief tit the rate
of two Inches decrease every hour.
Old timers suy that never since th
year mentioned, when boats war
operated on Main street and other
main thoroughfares, lias th. water
J flooded the different parts of the city
as it has at present.
In many places, principally along
the Little river, that stream is higher
by seven and eight inches than It
was during the month of June.
The street car service has been
considerably Impeded. The College
Hill line has been running to two
blocks east of the Frisco station, the
bridges on Chisholm creek being
washed out. The Riverside ears were
only running to the curve on Central
avenue. The Panic and Cleveland
.avenue lines were not in operation.

St. Louis, July 11.— Chief Jus-
tice Alton B. Parker, of the New

Tammany for Parker.
To the Associated Press Charles*
N. Murphy, of Tammany, said:
“No one need have any doubt
wnere. Tammany stands in
in this presidential canvass.. It
is solidly behind Alton B. Par-
ker for president.. There is nev-
er any doubt where Tammany
stands when a candidate is
regularly nominated.. We came
here with the belief that
Cleveland was the strongest
man to nominate and the easi-
est man to elect.. It was ascer-
tained. after consultations, that
in this conclusion we did not
agree with the majority of the
delegates.. Now that the con-
tion has spoken and has paid
the high honor to Judge Park-
er, Tammany Hall will go to
work ot once in New York coun-
ty and roll up for him the larg-
est plurality ever given to a
presidential candidate of the de-
mocracy.

Cane Sugar Is in Demand.
While the production of beet sugar
has decreased about 13 per cent dur-
ing the last two years, or from 6,760,-
000 metric tons to 5.900,000 metric

Most Americans have an idea that
rubber Is a product like wheat or
corn, to be obtained from a given

It has been estimated that 1,000 dif-

commercial qualities have been ob-
tained from only forty or fifty.

Danced for Joy.
Not many famous persons have the
faculty for friendship in old age as
Lord Beaconsfleld had It. His passion
for mastery, Ills addiction to mystery
were rivaled by his immense faithful-
ness. While he was at Glasgow to ho
Inaugurated lord rector of tho uni-
versity he heard good tidings of an
old associate. “Mrs. Disraeli and I,”
he wrote, “were overjoyed and we
danced a highland iling In our night-
gowns."
WRONG TRACK
Had To Switch.
Even the most careful person Is apt
to get on the wrong track regarding
food sometimes and has to switch
over.
When the right food is selected the
host of ails that come from Improper
food and drink disappear, even where
the trouble has been of lifelong stand-
ing.
“From a child I was never strong
and had a capriciou.3 appetite and I
was allowed to eat whatever I fancied
—rich cake, highly seasoned food, hot
biscuit, etc.—so it was uot surprising
that my digestion was soon out of
order and at the age of twenty-three I
was on the verge of nervous prostra-
tion. I had no appetite and as 1 had
been losing strength (because l didn't
get nourishment in ray daily food to
repair the wear and tear on body and
bram) I had no reserve force to fall
back on, lost flesh rapidly and no med-
icin“ helped me.
“Then it was a wise physician or-
dered Grape-Nuts and cream and saw
to it that I gave this food (new to me)
a proper trial and it showed he knew
what he was about, because I got bet-
ter by bounds from the very first.
That was in the summer and by win-
ter I was in better health than ever
before In my life, had gained in flesh
and weight and felt like a new person
altogether In mind as well as body,
all due to nourishing ami coracletely
digestible food, Grape-Nuts.
“This happened three years at-o and
never since then have 1 had an/ but
perfect health, for I stick to my
Grape-Nuts food and cream and still
think it delicious. 1 cat it every day.
I never tire of this food and I can en-
joy a saucer of Grape-Nuts and cream
when nothing else satisfies ray appe-
tite and it's surprising how sustained
and strong a small saucerfu! will
make one feel for hours.” Name giv-
en by Bostum Co.. Battle Creek, Mich.

“there's a reason.” Grape-Nuts 10
