Flood waters at Armourdale, Argentine and lower Kansas City, Kui., on the Kaw and west to Man hattan, half way across Kansas, have fallen steadily since late yesterday ,and today con tinued to reoede. Ths water at Manhattan beoama stationary at midnight, after rising Steadily all day yesterday, and then began to go down, eliminating the last danger of further damage at the mouth of the Kaw or along Its course. Ths stags here was two feet lower than yesterday. In Armour dale, however, the water still stood over Stx fset deep in the lowest places. Ths Missouri river at Kansas City and Bsfth also receded and no additional dam age to Harlem or to the oast bottoms will result from the overflow of that stream. In the west bottoms on the Missouri side, where ths flood resulted from back water from the Kaw, the fall waa more notice abls than elsewhere,! and at the big, whole sale houses confidence was restored and the merchant began to return their goods hur riedly taken away at ths first sign ot dan ger.

Railroad offloiala and buslnsss men whose Interests were affected aay the damage locally to property is Inslgnlnoant when compared with last year's losses. One reason for this, of course, is the faot that the water was ten feet lower this year and the rail roads and morchanta profited by their ex periences in 1903. The relief committee of Kansas City, Kas., which la caring for ths i,000 or (.000 homeless in the suburbs of that city, have decided that no outside aid la needed except that granted by the War department The committee decided to accept any contribu tions that may be made, but not to appeal tor them. Lieutenant Colonel R It R. Loughbor ough, of Fort Leavenworth,' Kas., who was sent by the War department to investigate the situation, has recommended that $.000 rations be given ths city today and addi tional food supplies be sent each day as needed.

WICHITA. Kan.,, July 9. Ths flood situa tion In Wichita today shows little change. The Little Arkansas receded slightly after midnight, but an early morning downpour caused ths back water to go back to its old mark. . This Is causing the most trouble. Chlsholm creek has risen during the night and Is now higher than it has been at any time. The Second street bridge, which was the only .means of getting to and from College Hill, has been closed.

I City Treasurer Kenning Is seeking to devlss a way to compel cltlsens to psy taxes on mortgages as assessed under the last revenue law. Many persons have re.

Many others, however, have paid on mortgages as well ss their other prop erty, kind Treasurer Hannlngs points out thst manifestly It would be unfair to let the objectors escape. Therefore he Is try ing to discover a sure snd easy method of coercion. Bo far his old scheme of dis tress warrant and collecting van is the only one he has seriously entertained. A legal Question Is Involved as to the constitutionality of the law authorising ths assessment of mortgages.

ST. PETERSBURG, July . M. Souverin, manager of the Novoe Vremya, in a lead ing article in that paper which la attracting much attention, declares that it is not Man churia nor Korea for which Russia la fight ing, but It la its future position in the far east, where covetous hands are stretched out, not only by Japan, but by the United States and Great Britain, which la the cause of the American and English sym pathy, for Japan. ' Russia, he continues, has been spoiled by easy, bloodless victories In the far east, consequently was not prepared for the struggle which was only avoidable by fol lowing: Tolstoi's teachings and letting the Japanese take what they wanted, with the result that Russia would again be placed under the Mongolian yoke, destroying the national spirit and the unity of the empire. The contest, therefore, was acoepted under unfavorable conditions. The Russians, as plainsmen, are out of their element In the mountains. The Japanese were able at the outset to put in the field twice as many men as waa Russia, and thsy have dis played marvelous skill, but these advan tages are being overoome. Still 'the eventual Russian victory on land will be barren so long as the Japanese hold the sea. This Is why the Baltic squadron acquires such enormous Importance in the destinies of Russia, and why the ardent wish of a majority of the people is to see the last division start at ones to reinforce the Pacific fleet. The Novoe Vremya's article tends t to strengthen the belief that the division o( the Baltic squadron which Is to sail from Cronstadt July tS, under sealed orders, Is to proceed at once to the Pacific.

How far the Russian commander-in-chief attempted to contest the possession of Kin Chou with the Japaness the War office says will be revealed when the official re port arrives. . The Japanese report of the severity of ths fighting might Indicate Kouropatkln's de sire to hold Kin Chou so long as possible for the purpose of preventing a Juncture of the Japanese armies, but the threaten ing position of the Japanese columns east ward may .have rendered Kouropatkln's withdrawal further north imperative. It would not bo surprising, after the Junc ture of the Japanese armies, Kouropatkln decided to retire even from Ta Tche Klao and Hal Cheng and concentrate his forces about his iaaln position, at Llao Yang. This would render easy the Japanese plan, repeatedly predicted in these dispatches, to get possession of thoss place flank ths Russians out of New Chwantf, fortify a line from New Chwang to Taku Shan and Fen Wang Cheng, secure control of the railroad, establish a new base at Nsw Chwang and , prepare to advance or re treat, or to resist Kouropatkln's advance, as the case might be, at the close ot the rainy season. i News of the evacuation of New Chwang by the Russians would seem to be the logical sequence of the announcement of the occupation of Kin Chou by the Japa nese.

It Is said In official circles that there Is no likelihood of a serious question arising from ths failure of the British gunboat Espiegle to reach New Chwang. So long as foreign life and prop erty are protected the British government Is not disposed to station a gunboat at New Chwang.

They will be the first sewage disposal works of their kind to be constructed in Omaha, the first In the west being designed a few years ago by City En gineer Roaewater for Indlpendenoe, Mo. Saddle creek is a sometimes waterway running through a depression along the western edge of the city and Just over the ridge that prevents drainage eastward Into the Missouri. Tha creek flows for some miles through farm lands and empties Into ths Papllllon. Within the city it drains a large area occupied by prosperous homes whose owners have long been clamoring for a sewer. The latter is now undei- construc tion. In order to prevent contamination of the creek water it has been neoessary to build the septlo tank. Tha tank proper la thirty feet in diameter, attached to a filter bed receptacle tOxSO feet in else. In the tank the solids in the sewage are liquefied by standing for five hours and permitting mi crobes to multiply and dee troy them as substancea Then the mass passes over the filter beds, of which there are three, each being filled with coke, and one below the other.

As the summer months grow apace and the corn Is beginning to take Jts stand on the broad and fertile lands f the king dom of Qulvera, In the tenth year of the reign of King Ak-Sar-Ben and the nine teen hundred and fourth year Anno Domini, the thoughts of the many loyal subjects of the merry monarch naturally turn to the fall festivities, when hearts beat firm, hand grasps hand and oonfottl fills the air.
