as good a game as one could wish to see.
Last Sunday the Originals were beaten by
tho Nonpareils in a ten-inning game 1 to 0.
and that Is going some. On Monday the
braves, under Captain Bradford's guidance,
went down to Lincoln and beat the Cream
eries twice. Just to get even. Now Captain
Benedict Is coming to Omaha to get a llt
tlo revenge on his own acoount. As the
Creameries are made up almost wholly of
the strong University of Nebraska team,
that was so successful on its college tour
last spring, an idea of ine kind of ball
that will be served may be gained. A
great crowd ought to be In attendance next

Kan River Over Ita Banks.
The Kaw overflowed Ita banka near the
Missouri Paclflo bridge at 11 o'clock tonight
and the water is now spreading over the
west bottoms or wholesale district of Kan
sas City, Mo. The water is two feet deep
at St. Louis avenue and Hickory street,
three blocks from the union station. The
liver.' is rlslngV slowly, but it Is not be
lieved the water will reach the union sta
tion tonight.
Mayor Gilbert of Kansas City Kan., Is
using all the means at his command to care
for the hundreds of homeless people who
have been driven from the flood-stricken
district. Tonight be sent the following
to Secretary of War Taft: "Ten thousand
people have been driven from their homes
in Kansas City, Kan., by flood. I earnestly
request that you direct commander at Fort

Damage la Severe.
TOPEKA, Kan., July 7. Lato tonight the
Kaw river here continues to fall. Advices
from Manhattan aay that both the Kaw
river and the Blue are rising tonight and
that alarming reports are heard from up
stream. The Smoky Hill is rising at all
polnta upstream and another rise In Tc
peka may be expected tomorrow. No fur
ther damage Is anticipated.
The flood Is very severe In the southern
part of the state. Nearly 200 families are
homeless In Iola and the aame number at
Wlnfleld. At the latter place the flood Is
as high as last year. The Cottonwood and
Neosho at Emporia are receding slowly.
It was not until evening that the North
Topeka people gained sufficient courage to
return toi their homes. Not all portions of
North Topeka are accessible, as water sur
rounds many of the houses. Tomorrow all
the people on the North side may be at
home again. The exodus from the flooded
district kept up most of the day. This
afternoon a false alarm of a big rise
caused the ringing of the fire bell. This
made a panto for a time, but confidence
waa restored by the slow, ateady recession
of the watera. Railroad traffic In and out
of Topeka Is demoralised on all the roads.
Trains on the Rock Island, Union Pacific
and Santa Fe were tied up all day.

MAYOR LOOKS FOR NO WORK
Says Present Street Conditlona Are
Oatrageooa, bnt Lrgialatnre Only
Caa Help Them.
Mayor Moorea saya It Is clear that no
paving will be laid this year. There will
be no relief, he thinks, until the legislature
amends the charter, centralising responsi
bility and changing the provisions with
regard to paving procedure. He says:
"Present conditlona are outrageous and It
Is intolerable to realise that contractors
have It within their power to tie up pub
lic Improvements In this city, yet such la
a fact. I do not sea bow the situation
can be helped until the legislature meets
and changes the laws."

ALL BIG CONCERNS PAY UP
Public Service Corporatlona Prompt
to Remit Taxea to City
Under Proteat.
All the public aervlce corporations and
all the railroads owning realty In Omaha
were prompt in paying their city taxes,
liquidating during the last wetk of grace.
The Union Pacific. Omaha and Northwest
ern roads paid their taxea under formal
proteHt and the Omaha Water Company
did likewise. The railroads objected to the
city multiplying the one-fifth asaessment
by the State Board of Equalisation five
times, while the Omaha Water company
complains merely that It was asaesed too
high as compared with other property.
The protests are merely technical and It
is understood will count for nothing except
In rase some unexpected court decision
might make them of value.
