Missouri Valley League Standing. An indescribable, almost incomprehensible, casualty has spread its mantle of death, destruction and suffering over this prosperous, happy section of the land. The entire -enlightened world-extends its sympathy to the people of this afflicted" community. Flood and devastation have brought loss of loved ones, loss of home and property, suffering, misery and privations innumerable. The damage done cannot be represented in mere money though it aggregates untold millions of dollars: Floods, though terrible enough in 'their work of destruction, play their most awful part, deal their most deadly blows in thts suffering and death which never fail to follow in their wake.

Receding tides not only give up their dead and disclose the irreparable injury done, but the very soil and vegetation which the unbidden Ttaters have covered breathe forth infection, malaria, fevers and death-dealing diseases of every kind and form. Germs of disease, breeding on the rotting, slimy debris, and even, in the flood-soaked fields, are carried by the winds hundreds of miles in every "direction and plant themselves deeply and subtly in the vital organs of persons whose systems through neglect or impovensheckand impure blood are not fortified against them. 4 To such persons, even though there seems to. htm to be no necessity for alarm, let us sound a warning note.

Be Filled Chi.f Clerk Brown Discusses the' -Present Situatidru- 8pecial to the Capital. Leavenworth, June new and unexpected source of annoyance and loss is developing in consequence of the disastrous Kaw "river flood. An enormous "quantity of binding "twine, estimated at about 5 million pounds. stored in implement houses the bottoms at Kansas City, Was either destroyed or wet so that it cannot be used, and farmers in Oklahoma and Kansas are short of twine to harvest their wheat crop. The twine shortage is a serious one, and, coupled with a lack of harvest hands, 'places the farmers in desperate straits.

"We could sell 3 million pounds of bind ing twine if we had It," was the remark of J. C. Brown, chief clerk of the Kansas penitentiary to'day. ''On Wednesday we returned drafts amounting to $26,000 to Oklahoma people ordering twine, and every day this week orders have been turned down. The twine still in stock and all that can be manufactured will be held for Kansas farmers, who support the Kansas penitentiary and are entitled to first consideration.

Here are probably 200 letters ordering twine re ceived today," said Mr. Brown, holding up two bunches of unopened letters. Wei will go through these letters as soon as possible and pick out the orders from Southern Kansas and supply farmers where the wheat, is ripe and work up gradually to the northern division of the state. When this, is over we will take up the same method in trying to furnish twine to bind oats, beginning, in the south portion and going north The destruction of 5 million pounds of, trust twine stored in KansasCity implement houses has left things in bad shape. "The Kansas wheat crop is immense.

and farmers are appealing to us to send them twine to save it. We are doing everything possible in that direction. The prison plant is running and turning out 13,000 pounds a We had about 2 million pounds in stock and this will all be chipped out at once. There are now 750. bales of -sisal on the way, and if this gets in twine plant will be run and 350,000 pounds more of twine manufactured before the entire Kansas wheat and oat crops are harvested.

"The penitentiary twine plant will prove a great blessing to Kansas farmers this year. It is said that the twine trust people intended to raise the price to 15 cents a pound at the critical time, but the flood upset all their plans. Now the trust people are begging dealers to take, their twine at any tprice, -but want dealers to take fcalf wet and -half dry. There" is no rise in the price here because of the big demand for We are supplying all the twine possible at the price fixed in the circular letters sent, out early in April; pamely, 10 cents a pound for lots under 5,000, and 9c for orders over this amount. Here is a draft from one Kansas farmer for for twine to harvest his crop alone," said Mr.

Brown, holding it np for inspection. "Kansas is a great state. Our farmers must be supplied first, then others afterwards." Orders for twine are pouring in by the hundred. Some of them are frantic. stating that unless they get twine at once from the penltentary, their entire wheat crop will be.

lost. Others wherein farmers happen to know a prison official, the writer makes it a personal matter to see that the official supplies him with twine. All the letters tell of a big crop. BIG EXPLOSION IN A MINE Five Men Were Killed and Two Hurt in Blossburg, N. M.

Chicago, June 20. The Picket, a horse that never before flashed first past the post, won the American, -derby today. He tu the pace -every step of the distance, as never challenged, and won in a gallop by six lengths. He ran the derby distance, 14 miles, faster than it was ever run before in the race. Hia time was 2:33.

Claude the winner of three derbies, was second. Bernays, the Cincinnati candidate, was third. It was a race without the thrill or an exciting finish. The crowd of 70,000 people which witnessed the sixteenth running of the event saw a contest that had been decided when the field turned into the ctretch. In front of a struggling field, The Picket ran so easily and truly as to Jeave no doubt as to where he would finish.

The roar of cheers which greeted the successful horse began when The Picket was more than an eighth of a mile from the wire. -j The derby was a record-breaking turf event in more than the fast time that was made. Nineteen horses- went to the post, the largest previous field being fifteen. largest crowd that ever gathered on a western race track covered the Washington park grounds. The race was worth $32,275, gross value, the richest in the history of the race, with one exception.

Betting on the result began in March and continued until the fcorses went to the post. More money, It Is asserted, was wagered on the derby than on any other race ever run in America. Savable, the favorite eon of Salvator, thought by John A. Drake to- be invincible, failed to live up to reputation. He received a ride from Jockey Lester Reiff that seemingly a novice could have duplicated.

Savable was never dangerous and the fortune bet on him by his owner went to enrich the bookmakers. The horses came to the post at 4 o'clock. Btarter Dwyer delayed them nine minutes before he dropped the flag. In the first tush for positions The Picket was successful and he had the lead in comparatively a few strides. There was no hustling until the field struck the back Stretch.

Savable was in seventh place and In front of him were The Picket, Au Re-oir, Linguist, Bonnie Burr, Gold Bell and Sad News. Immediately behind Savable Claude. There was not an important move by a Jockey until the field had passed the half mile pole and struck the fclg bend. The Picket, then running at his own clip, never faltered. Claude made his move and quickly advanced to fourth place.

Savable at this critical place, only held his own. At the head of the stretch The Picket had his field beaten badly. He was Tuning as he pleased. Jockey Helgeson eased him up a bit as he neared the wire. Claude came fast in the stretch, but "little Johnny Daly saw he had no chance to catch The Picket, and also eased, but almost too soon.

Bernays, backed by Cin-oinnatl enthusiasts, came up grandly from the center of the field and' hitched up in a drive with Saivable for the shortest end of the purse. Bernays got it by a Heck. Judge Himes failed to make a showing. He rapidly went to last position after the Start, and stayed there. The Picket la a bay colt by Falsetto-Voltario.

He was bred by his owners, Srliddleton Jungbluth, at Liouisville. He ran last year, but never won, and consequently carried the light burden of 115 pounds. Neither of The Picket's owners aw him win. Carl Jungbluth is in Asia, and John Middleton heard the report of the race at Louisville. The betting on the derby at the track was the ligntest in The bookmakers wrote as many tickets as usual, tout the amounts were small.

All the big betters laid their money In Jhe future books and did not engage in any battle in the betting ring today. The Picket opened at 6 to 1, and advanced to 10 to 1 before post time. Claude advanced from. 6 to 7 to 1. Bernays remained stationary at 8 to 1.

The crowd that saw the American derby run today was the largest In the history of the race. It numbered between nnd people. It was Chicago greater gathering of any year, and carried with it an unusual display of fashion. What promised to be a dismal day turned but to be ideal. The grand stand was packed before clock.

The crowd started early as 11 o'clock and there was a continual rush of people up io the time the bugle sounded the rail for the dely. The inlleld from the club house to the head of the stretch was covered by hundreds of equipages, the smartest turnouts that the wealth of the city could procure. In the Infield gathering were.f00 vehicles (if all sorts except automobiles. The au-omobiles were bnrreii from the grounds a matter of safety, but were- alloted space opposite the main entrance to the track. It took ten acres of ground to accommodate the horseless machines.

Society gathered at the club house and in the boxes, and formed the most fashionable outdoor gathering that ever assembled in Chicago. i RELIANCE AWAY AHEAD. 4few Cup Defender Left Constitution and Columbia Behind. York, June 20. The Reliance won today's race of 90-foot sloops in Long Island sound in the first twenty minutes of Sailing and before turning the first mark.

While the Columbia and Constitution were trying to out luff each other. By their Sharp rivalry both older boats lost hundreds of yards and any prospects they might have had of winning. After that it was a procession all the way around to the finish line, where the Relance beat the Constitution by four minutes and 17 'seconds, and the Columbia by 1 minutes ''fcnd 31 second. The course was twice around a triangle, a reach of 3 miles across the sound, a four mile beat to Windward and a broad reach of miles, Sa'. a miles in all.

Captain Barr sent the Reliance across the windward end of the line, blanketed the Columbia and dropped both the others astern paving them fighting for the windward position. By splitting the tacks the Constitution got clear of the Columbia, after rounding the first mark and in the beat to the windward to the next mark, badly outsailed the old defender. Sailing the third leg the wind hauled to the southeast and all caught it fresh. Reliance felt the strong breeze first and on that leg added more than a minute to her lead over both the others. At the end of the first round she led the Constitution by more than four minutes and the Columbia by nine minutes.

-n the flrnt leg of the second round, Constitution scored her only gain of nearly a minute on the The nliirr.biu lost about a minute to the Reliance and nearly two minutes to the Constitution In that run of three milea.
