It is estimated that the -water in- vaded 200 homes in Topeka, Kas., —-Friday_at-a-depth_ranging from a few. inches to several feet. It was im- possible today to estimate definitely the property loss, but probably it will not exceed $50,000. Flood waters of the Trinity River in Texas Friday caused the loss of another life and continued to do much damage to property. Jack Waldrep, 55 years old, fell from a trestle Friday and was drowned at Ft. Worth. The water has weakened a portion of a $500,000 viaduct recently com- » pleted, and fears for it- as well as ether viaducts and bridges in the flooded dristrict are felt by officials. North Fort Worth still is cut off from street car service from the city. At least two deaths resulted from the rainstorm which swept over Eastern Kansas and Western Missou- ri Thursday night. : . Harry L. Bevan, a mine superin- tendent at Pittsburg, Kas., was drowned Friday in a flooded mine .. narrowly escaped death in an attempt him. ser ae At Pleasant Hill, Mo., Thomas Mc- Clintock, a farmer, was drowned the buildings badly damaged.

Little Alice whose life was of short duration was of a “sweet, lovable disposition and was a favorite with every one. ‘ Beautiful floral offerings cov- ped her little casket. A large ‘assembly of neighbors and rel- atives attended the funeral. We extend our deepest sympathy to the bereaved family in the sad death of their little babe. Little footsteps, soft and gentle, Gliding by our cottage door; How I love to hear their trample As | did in days of yore. Tiny feet that traveled lightly, In this weary world of woe, Now silent lie in yonder grave- yard, °, Neath the dismal gravé below. She sleeps the sleep that knows no waking, By the golden river’s shore, with And my -heart it yearns sadness, When I pass that cottage door. Sweetly now the angels carol Tidings from our loved one far, That she still hover o’er us And will be our guiding ‘star.

The wet spell which we had during the past month gives an opportunity to study the drain- age systems which have been put in throughout the corn belt during the past three or four years. Iowa farmers have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars for tile drainings. Some of this has been well spent and some has not. The only businesslike way to put-in any amount of tile is to have a survey made by a eompetent engineer, and a drain- age system mapped out. Much of our drainage, however, has been done in a haphazard way and the heavy rains of the past month have demonstrated its in- fficiency. Now is the time, therefore, to make careful study of the weakness in the drain- age systems, in order that they may be corrected this fall when there is time to do the work. Gen. Villa Scared by Bryan’s |= Quitting. Kl Paso, June 11.—General Francisco Villa’s reply to Presi- dent Wilson’s Mexican note of warning, which was to have been delivered to Special Agent Carothers on Thursday, has been delayed on account. of changes in the verbiage consid- ered necessary by Secretary Bryan’s resignation from the American cabinet. It is expected that General Villa’s reply will be on its way to Washington by tomorrow night. His action in rewriting the reply is regarded by many as an indication of the belief on the part of ViHa and his advis- ers that the retirement of Mr. Bryan means a change in the ‘‘watchful waiting policy’’ of the United States.
