Statues of workers of various trades, part of the Monument for Labor by Matthew J. Placzek, stand in the rising waters of the Missouri River, in Omaha, Neb., on June 15. The Missouri River has been rising steadily for weeks as the Army Corps of Engineers increases the amount of water released from its dams to clear out heavy spring rain and snowmelt. The river is expected to reach 5 to 7 feet above flood stage in most of Nebraska and Iowa, and possibly higher in parts of Missouri.

Our family has been praying for the souls of both Dr. Kaspar and Robert Butler Jr. It may never be known what afflicted this troubled young man, but suffice it to say science knows very little about the human mind although more is being learned every day.
