Fort Scott, Kan, April 24.—This place is experiencing its greatest ! flood since 1869. The town is divid- ed into three sections and is almost fsolated, The two rivers that unite north- east of here came together west of ’ the city Jast night and this after- noon the entire northern part is cut off by the Marmaton river, while the territory lying between it and Mill creekis inundated. Ten feet of water - {g swiftly rushing through that part. Hundreds:of people barely escaped with their lives leaving their honies to be washed away. The two streams have risen twenty - feet since 10 o’clock last night. The inhabitants in what is known at Bell- town, about 1,000, were rescued last nightin boats.

Times, There has been talk in the different parte of the state, during the last few weeks, that Judge W. W. Graves of Butler, ought to be the Democratic nominee for justice of the supreme court, Judge Graves identified him- self with the Folk movement early and many friends of Mr. Folk are admirers of Graven, The Democratic nominee for the supreme bench will be named in St. Joseph at a convention to be held June 21, It has been expected that Judge A. M. Woodson of St. Joseph, would have no opposition and it may be that he will nov. If he does it will almost certainly be Judge Graves. The following from the Clinton Daily Democrat, published in the circuit of which Judge Graves is now circuit judge, gives the views of his neighbors in the county adjoining his home and may be relied upon as @ statement of the judge’s own posi- tion: “There is a spontaneous feeling over the state among the Democrats look- ing toward the nomination of Judge W. W. Graves for the supreme bench. The judge is in no sense a candidate for the place.
