All day yes- terday and to-day vast crowds from Emporia have visited both rivers, Nothing like it was ever before wit- nessed even by the oldest settlers. Many washouts have stopped all trains.

The meeting was called to order by A.-L,-Gilmore,-of Deepwater town- ship, who was later elected chairman. A, CU. Simpson, of Osage, acted as secretary.
