Some fifty to seventy-five- head of mules and horses were brought to the city yesterday for work on the Oreapo- lis double track. The right of way for the two miles and a half of track .between this city and Oreapolis cost just two hundred and eighty dollura. The little babe of Mr. and Mrs. D. J.

Every labor ing man, every business man, and ev ery other man, or woman who desires to giln a clear idea of the issues -between the republican and democratic parties in this campaign, ought to go and hear him, Thoe who have heeard him, speak tho highest praises of his ability as an orator. Let every think ing, lea Hug citizen of whatever party affiliations, go and hear what he has to say. The laboring men and mechanics Of this comruun ty ought especially to go and hear him. He is a represent athe of that class and haa made a spe cial study of il.eir Cuancial interest, and by giving hint iheir attention for au hour or b.-, thin- uiuy learn what would require wevka and mouths of hard study to net otherwise- SEETHING WATERS, A Turbulent Flood or Very Short No tice. Saturday was a rainy day. Every half hour or so trooping clouds would pnss by and empty their contents upon the er-rth, but it was not until about 4 :30 that the waters fell in all their power, sufficien t to raise the creek run ning through the city to an almost un precedented height, and before people were aware of it, the cellars along the south side of Main street between 5th and 3d streets were getting an unex pected benefit. Up on Chicago avenue tbe waters covered streets and lots, the tent of the Adventists being swept away and down with the current; sev eral cellars were filled, gardens in low p'ac;s washed away and general havoc created. In the low parts elsewhere in the city, the same scenes were enacted. Peter Mumm's basemeut room had four feet of water aud liquor 6tored there was lost and injured to the extent of tnree hundred dollars. The heavy fall of rain atd the water, c msed ft ie a ea wall along the west side of Fitzgerald block to fall in, and against the build ing; five hundred dollars will not more than cover the damages there. Water man's lumber yard was cut directly in twain, tie long culvert through it being shattered and swept away; one thous and dollars will not pay for the lost lumber and necessary repairs there At the B. & M. depot the culvert could cot carry away the water and the yards were flooded, tracks swayed out of place, and the bridge to the water tank sunk down: the company's damage is not estimated. Altogether the flood was disastrous in many quarters, and it will cost the city much expense to have things as they were before Satur days rain. Johnson & Co., of Council 'Bluffs have opened out a first class laundry on lower Main street, where they are prepared to do all kinds ef fine work in that line. A trial of their work is requested. lOltf ClotLes, Hair, Nail and Tooth Brush ea, Combs, &c, nice line, at Fisher's east Main street, -. 49dtf Proceedings Republican Co Convention.
