Heavy Rains
Menace Flooded
Areas in State
Storms of Sunday in Southeastern
Nebraska Cause Fear of More
High Waters.
From Monday's Da!ly
Heavy rains that swept over the
entire southeastern part of Nebraska
Sunday have added to the danger
that is threatening the sections or
Nemaha and Richardson counties and
parts of northern Kansas and west-
rn Iowa. The small creeks and
rivers that have been flooding since
Friday, receded some by Saturday
night but were again at flood state
late Sunday.
The rain, while heavy in this part
of Cass county did not materially
damage beyond the fact that the ex
trt me wet weather has checked the
faim work a great deal.
Meanwhile damage estimates be
gan to be made. From Falls City
came a report that Richardson coun
ty's loss was around one hundred
thousand dollars, in crops, bridges
and highways.
Crop and road damage was simi
lar in Nemaha county. Losses of
similar kind occured in spots in Kan
sas and in a half dozen in Missouri,
indicating that total loss might run
close to a half minion dollars.
Making Rail Repairs.
The highway west of the river was
impassable Sunday night between
Falls City. Neb., and Leavenworth,
Kan., though travel was possible
elsewhere. Trains on the Missouri
Pacific were proceeding slowly on
their own rails, after temporary re
pairs at Auburn , where washouts
had occurred Saturday, a passenger
locomotive plunging into a creek.
The Burlington expected to have
temporary repairs made by early
Monday on its Omaha-Kansas City
line, washed out in places near Nap
ier, Mo., opposite Falls City, and
further down.
Th Sunday Etonrt covered once
more the areas already beseiged by
the waters of the Missouri river
tributaries.
Water ran curb deep in Falls City
frm the rain Sunday evening, which
began about 6 p. m. The Nemaha
river nearby was three-fourths of a
mile wide and out of its banks for
eight miles, though it had dropped
two feet. Other streams were still
out of their banks.
Fear Further Inundations.
Crop loss in Richardson county
was set at 25 thousand dollars in an
unofficial estimate Sunday, with
bridge loss 60 thousand and highway
damage 15 thousand.
Much corn in the flood area is to
be abandoned, nearly half of the
acreage being reported lost in Ne
maha county.
Streams near Maryville, Mo., were
still rising slowly Sunday, it was re
ported, when the new storm broke.
Fear for further inundations of farm
lands was felt there and elsewhere
in northwest Missouri.
The body of Cecil Vader, 16,
drowned at Falls City Saturday, has
not been reeoered, and is believed
to have been swept into the Mis
souri river.
MANY ATTEND THE PARMELE
From Monday's ra!lv
Last evening the Parmele theatre
presented the first of their sound pic
tures. "Weary River" being the Vita
phone offering and was a very beau
tiful picture in which Richard Bar
thelniess and charming Betty Comp
son were starred. The picture is
featured by the theme song, "Weary
River," now one of the most popular
of the musical offerings of the pres
ent year.
The Parmele had an almost perfect
presentation of the picture, the pre
sentation was one that held the clos
est attention of the audience and was
received with applause gy the de
lighted auditors in the climaxes of
the picture.
The voices as well as the musical
selections by the orchestra were very
dear.

Davis Says Alumni
Must Help Educate
Declares Graduates Charged With
Aiding Students Urges Keep
Abreast of the Times.
"Responsibility of the Alumnus"
was the theme stressed by Searl S.
Davis, '09, Plattsmouth, speaker of
the day at the annual alumni lunch
eon at the agricultural college Sat
urday afternoon.
"The alumni are charged," said
the speaker, "with the education of
the students of the future. In order
to best discharge this responsibility
they must keep abreast of the times.
They should not consider wealth or
recognition by the public as the mark
of success but rather the conscious
ness of having done their best.
"It is not the students but the
faculty who make the college." con
tinued Mr. Davis. "The college is
made by those particular members of
the faculty who inspire the students
to become courageous, law abiding
and upright."
Mr. Davis went on to say that it
should not be necessary for students
to be compelled to obey laws since
they ought to be of the type to obey
them voluntarily, otherwise they
will have no chance for success in
life.
Prefacing his speech, the alumnus
recounted a few of the activities of
the class of '09 and read a list of
the members who had attained prom
inent positions in life. He told how
the fountain presented by the class
to its alma mater was constructed of
stones brought back by participants
in a senior 6kip day picnic at Mil
ford. Mr. Davis praised the work
of many of the tactulty mentioning
among others, Dr. F. M. Fling,
Chancellor Burnett, then a dean,
Professor Fossler, and the late Mrs.
Raymond, who though not a member
of the faculty, was prominent in uni
versity work.
The gathering, limited to 350 by
inclement weather, responded very
readily to the Nebraska songs that
were suggested. The tables in the
luncheon room were enhanced by
bouquets of mingled iris and peon
ies. A maroon strip lettered in gold
streched the length of the table re
served for the honor class of '09 whose
members bad favors in the same color
combination.

The high water coming two days
later would have done little to check
the bridge work as the lst pier
would have been ready to seal in an
other day and the raie would have
made no difference but it will non
cause some delay until the water
goes on down again and it is pos
sible to finish up the work of seal

The Union Bridge & Construction
company thjt has had the contract

bridge. A number of the pier con
struction f ei e have already left here
for Oklahoma City near where the
Union Construction Co. hr.s another
piece of bridge work to look after.
The progress on the bridge here
has been very pleasing in every way
and shtould allow the bridge to be
opened as originally planned some
time this fall, the opening being set
for sometime in October.
The last pier that is nw under
