The God Within
Hath wings of truth outstretched and spread
Swept swiftly onward oer thy head
Or hath thy God iu mighty Love
IXropped olive branches from above
Where dwelleth God Thy soul hath cried
Nor would thy question bo denied
Thou sought Him in the clond swept sky
Thou sought Him where the sea gulls cry
Thou sought him in the busy street
Thou sought him whore the waters meet
But never yet hath God been found
In all thy journeyings around
For God is found within thy soul
Thy hallowed Self thy perfect Whole
And all who wish tho goal to win
Must search the Kingdom found within
Then naught can keep thee from thine own
When once this secret thou hast known

Flooded The Elevators
The rain of last Saturday night
amounting to about three and a half
inches flooded the elevators on east Rail
road street in the case of the H H East
erday Co elevator particularly Their
damage will amount to about 40000
They had 16 feet of water in their pit
which of course means that the water
arose in their bins and reached perhaps a
1000 bushels of wheat more or less dam
aging the same Much mud was washed
into the bins and pit and it took a large
force of men all day Sunday and Mon
day to pump out the water and shovel
out the mud and to get the plant in
shape for operation Tuesday morning
W H Fergusons old and new elevat
ors both had some water in their pits
the old one about seven feet and the new
one six feet But in neither case did the
water rise high enough in the pit to reach
the wheat in the hopper bins hence their
damage was very Blight and it was not
necessary for them to suspend operations
at all
A glance at the ditch excavated for
carrying off the drainage water on Rail
road street shows one conclusively that
it is entirely inadequate to tho purpose
in case of a heavy rain Tho ditch has
to carry practically all the drainage
water of the city It should be deepened
and widened The outlet at the railroad
crossing east of the city is even more help
less to fill the requirements being but
two feet square This culvert should be
largely increased
As The Tribune understands the
matter this ditch and culvert are on
Burlington railroad property If so
they should promptly make good tho in
adequacy If the matter is within tho
jurisdiction and province of the city au
thorities they should lose no time to cor
rect tuis condition
Some one is in line for damages and
properly so if adequate drainage is not
provided It is unjust to subject any
one to such loss and inconvonienco
