"She's almost there , " was the an
swer that c&me to the ears of the mud
stained inquirer as he pauasd before
the little shanty from which , In the
darkness of midnight , gleamed forth
a crack of light , and where two faith
ful watchers in huge tarpaulins were
posted to note the progress of the
flood that was creeping , inch by inch ,
up to their doorslll , and threatening
all within its mon&ter reach. 0abide
on a heavy tie waa a notch , which
showed where the water had lapped
when at its former highest point. A
glance sufficed to show that "she was
almost there. " The length of the
hand was scares required to measure
iha intervening space. Again the vast
waters had broken loose , and seemed
about to sweep everything before
them.
The river at 1 o'clock yesterday had
reached the height of 19 feet and 7
inches above low water mark , showing
a rise of one foot six : inches since yes
terday at the same huur.
The water has again invaded the
lumber yards and has rushed in be'
hind the Chicago company's proper
ty. This was anticipated Tuesday
and a large forca of men with teams
were set at work in the afternoon
building a coffer dam , about four hun
dred feet In length. This dam is
doubly boarded on the north side.
Yesterday seventy-five men and fifty
teams were industriously at work ,
having all they could do to check the
constantly rising water. If it comes
up six inches more the dare will hard
ly to able tobear tbo Immense prcssnn
brought against it.
THE UNION rACIFIC SHOPS
are again visited by the muddy tide. .
In the brick shop there Is about six
Inches of water , and the Leary she
has about as much , or more , on it
floors. Nearly a hundred men WOP
forced to suspend work , but all wen
given employment at unloading tw
sand trains which were run upon th
main ( rack and their contents usei
for ballasting that embankment am

of sight and , as far as can be deter1"

Spoon lake. If the rise continues
another inundation of the track i
feared. As it Is , the Chicago &

morning.
STILL COMING UP.
At four o'clock in , the afternoon
throe inches had boon added to the
vast body of water that wai gradual ! ]
nearlng the tops ef all barriers. The
sand embankment which waa BO care
folly raised in front of the invading
flood was still [ n its , place , but the
water , had worn a hole beneath the
ties , and wiih a sudden rush took
away a long line of newly piled up
earth. Nothing could then atop its
progress , and while the workmen flee
for safety the pent up flood poured
over the main track in a hundred
places. By six o'clock the track waa
SEAKLV WASHED AWAY
between the chops and the smelting
works , and in two hours more the ior.f
line of ties and rails between the
shops and elevator WES "off its base , '
with portions of it entirely borne of
the embankment. Nothing now im
peded the progress of the flood. II
came against the coffer-dam which the
Chicago Lumber company had con
structed with much care and expense ,
with a spiteful "swish , swash , " and
that coffer-dam was no more. In ten
minutes all of the yards below were
being rapidly filled to the mean
height of the strcamandboforo an
other hour lud passed , Douglas and
Farnham streets were covered by the
muddy sheet.
THE SHOPS VACATED.
By 5 o'clock the water was up so
high in the U. P. shops that it was
impossible to continue work , and the
machinery was all stopped. At eight
o'clock there was two feet ot water in
some places , while ell the floors were
more or lees flooded. Through the
tmolting works a stream six feet in
depth whirled its way , so that no part
of the works was accessible. All of
the outbuildings ol both the shops and
smelting works were deeply submerg
ed , and the families in the few houses
that had not already been vacated ,
precipitately took their flight.
SAVING PROPERTY.
The only immediate damage feared
waa to the rolling stock in the U. P.
vards , and the lots of the lumber.
During the afternoon aaveral engines
were bnay pulling loaded and empty
cars to higher ground , while all of the
umber companies wera preparing to
save their property. The Chicago
company's coffer-dam proved of little
ralue , but below that yard Foster &
array tnd George Hoigland were busy
until late at night strengthening their
booms. Around all there is now a
ioublo boom , and in addition an inch
&nd a half cable rope connecting a
chain of heavy timbers , aud if these
will not hold , nothing would. Both
the latter named firms announca their
j-ards better prepared to stand a raise
than ever before.
THE WORST Jf OT YET.
List night the following dispatches
were received from Sioux City and
STankton.
Sioux CITT , April 20-At 8 o'clock the
rater Lad risen afoot at tlfs point and is
low rising at the rate of an inch an hour.
YANKTOX , April 20-At 7 o'clock this
svening the water is steadily rising at the
ateof _ three-fourth * of an inch an hour ,
md IB considerable higher than it was this
noriimg.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN.
What this news means for the river
it this point it is not difficult to foretelL -
telL It undoubtedly presages a bigger :
lood In quantity of water than the
one which has so recently partially
subsided. Mr. Brown , an old lum
berman , and a member of the firm of
Heriey , Bean & Brown , of Stillwater ,
who came to this oily on Saturday last
from Sioux City , Utes that the mow "
atill lies , on the level , In many places
above that city three feet deep , nd
at there are drifts twenty feet in
depth , which the sun's rays have nol
reached. He thinks that the worst
has by no means come.
THE LATEST
news obtainable from Council Bluffs
last night waa to the effect that the
water wai running over all of the hot
torn lands and the tracks were flooded
The people living In houses on the
low lands had generally vacated.
Water was in places up to the ties o
the main Union Pacific track andwil
probably ba over It by morning.
AT FOUR O'CLOCK
this morning the water had risen to
twenty-one feet and four Inches , 01
within five inches of tha highest re
corded rise in the recent inundation

THE KIVEK QUESTION ,
A Member of The Chalk Club
Unmasks Himself.
To the Editor of I he Bee :
I BOO tht.t our jolty old "awamp
angel , " A. D. Jones , loads hlmtelf to
themnzzlewlth hla little tripod , Y level
transit and rod , and discharges the en
tire load into my person. This is very
unkind , as I had merely been firing
paper wads manufactured by the eel
entifio president of the "Chalk Olub. '
Our excellent old land surveyor , who
seems never to have put to practice
use the axiom "that a straight line IB
the shortest dlatanco between two
points , " now lays claim to some knowl
edge of civil engineering , but I assure
him that this , his latest assumption ,
would bo resented not only by uvcry
civil engineer but by all self-respect-
Ing chain met. However , before ]
measure swords with him on engineer
ing I deaire to say a few words in re
gard to the Introductory of his lumin
ous article. He intimates that I am
withself . '
gifted with -appreciated oratory.
If so , it would merely show that I hac
at least one admirer of my polemics , n
distinction not enjoyed , I regret to
say , by our urbane fellow-citizen , A.
D. J. If I have ever succeeded In
choking him off at any public meeting
It waa bocauao he wasn't there , for
upon all occasions , and under all cir
cumstances , , our distinguished antl
quarlau has made the air sulphurous
with his dismal wailinga , which he
dignifies by the title of "Remlnis
ounces of an old settlor. " But tore
turn to the scientific portion of this
disu8aion. It seems that tbJa elo
quent old tropho scalper thinks that ' .
imagined I WAS enunciating some fun
damental truths in my recent article
on floods , etc. I beg him to believe
that if by accident I told the truth i
was foreign to my intentions. My pur
pose wf i to aveid the truth as much a
possible , as I was ambitious to outdo
my ancient friend in that respect. ]
really did not know but what the Mia
souri river bed was seventeen feel
higher than it was in Ib50 , neither di <
I care , because I waa merely handling
the weapons of the "old settler , " who
always paralyzes the "tender-foot'
with the musty records of by-gono
days. For instance , if a now comer
has the temerity to tsaert that he own
a faithful hen who lays two eggs per
day under favorable circumstances ,
A. D. J. immediately proceeds to
wallop the life out of the transaction
by claiming to have owned a common
unostentatious rooster in 1854 tha
laid four eggs per day in midwinter
or if the above mentioned n. c
should with pride assert that his v , ifi
had twins , old A. D. J. would waltz
into the ring and hammer the breath
out of it by claiming that he had him
self been the mother of triplets in
1854. It ii becauao of such mendicity
that the new cjmer has raised the
standard of revolt and will hereafter
assert hia rights and strive to muu-
tain them. To this end the "Cbalk
Olub" recently held an iadiu \
meeting and determined to reorganize
on a firmer bails. None but first-
the club and any member who dares to
speak the truth will ba instantly and
ignominionaly expelled. All orders
for mntderiug truth will bo promptly
attended to , and wo shall shortly bo
prepared to pound the supreme stuff
ing out of your little narratives of
former days , Mr. Jones.
0. V. GALLAGHER.
A TEMPLE OF TEG PAST ,
The Sacrament Its High Priest
Gives a "Bee" Keporter.
Hearing arhmor thatthe Academy
of music was to undergo numerous re
pairs this summer , and bo continued
aa an amusement hall for-Omaha , a
BEE reporter called on Jadga Rodlck
yeaterday for the facts :
"Yea , " said the iadgo , "the Acade
my will continue to run , and will be
Sited up In A No. 1 shape this sum
mer , putting in new scenery through
out , and making it a model little tho-
atre. We think that an academy of
music in Omaha that will seat 800 to
LOOO people is large enough for this
city for the next ten years. We are
glad Mr. Boyd is building bin opera
louse , for there will bo occasbnslly
iroupes passing through here of very
ilgh character that might call out a
arger patronage than our academy
will accommodate , and in that event
Jr. Boyd'a opera house would be
very handy , but we think ours the
ilaco for general purposes , and that it
will be more go no rally used after
Joyd's Is finished than now.
jt"In my judgment Boyd'a opera
loueo bears about the came relation
o ours that the Grand Central hotel
Id to the Metropolitan , but the Met-
opolitan made the most money all
he same. To induce men to take the
Jrand Central hotel an enormous ,
big , grand hotel and run the experi
ment of making money , the proprie-
ors were obliged to give them the
whole hotel structure for $2000 per
ear , and the landlord then contend-
d that ho waa having a hard time
f It.

year. "

A Eotel Rumor.
The rumor of the proposed erec-
ion of a now and magnificent hotel
on Douglas street , which was pub-
[ shod in yesterday's Republican ,
of this city , is at the beat premature.
As yet no articles of corporation
lave been drawn , nor has a site for
ho proposed structure been - determined
mined upon. The gentlemen inter- .
stod in the matter at a late hour this I
afternoon stated that they were doubt
ful as to the success of the enterprise ,
and deprecated the publication of a
rumor which had no foundation ex
cept in talk , and which would lead the
citizens of Omaha to expectations not
probable to be realized.
COMMENCING' BEFORM.
The New Marshal Starts Out
Promisingly. '
Marshal Angell called the roll of the
night watch last.night at precisely 7
o'clock , and every officer responded ,
"present. " The marshal then In
structed them to carefully guard their
beats , according to their previous
orders. In addition he said : "Thero
Is one other thing I wiih you to do.
Notify each ealoon keeper on your
beats that his saloon must bo closed
aad lights out at 12 o'clock each
night , and that his front door must be
closed and locked on Sundays. I wish
you to enforce this order and report
immediately to mo the name of any
parson refusing to obey It. "
The now marshal starts out well ,
except iu what may have been and
probably wai , an unintended error ol
speech in his direction in relation to
closing and locking the front door * of
the saloons on Sundays. He should
have s&id their doors , and thereby con :
veyed the assurance that the saloons
were to bo prohibited from selling or
giving away liquor on Sunday. It late
to be hoped that that was what he
meant. There is an old saying "A
new broom swjepp clean. " All gooc
citizens have a right to expect that the
marshal's broom shall remain now.
SHOBTENING UP TIME ,
Bumored Changes That Will
Make 'Frisco Nearer.
It is reported in railroad circles tha
the trains on the Central Pacific rail
road , running from 'Frisco to Ogden
are to bo pushed through on faster
time. The train which now leaves
San Frarcico in the forenoon will no
start , according to the report , until 3
p. m. , and yet vrill arrive at Ogdon. an
hour earlier than usual. This nil
enable the Union Paclfi : train , ar
riving here at 3:25 : p. m. , to start an
htur earlier , which advantage , it i
reported , is to bo increased by accelerated
eratod running , so that it would ar
rive in Omaha abont 10 o'clock in the
forenoon , making an entire gain e
nine hoars. How this arrangement
if made at all , would affect the east
ern trains it ii impossible to say , bu
it would certainly be an advantage to
both overland and local travel.
OLOS1NG THEIR WOEK ,
The Belief Committee Make
Their Last Canvas.
The relief committee concluded
their third day's work yesterday after
noon , and obtained nearly three hun
dred and fifty dollars additional sub
scriptions. It wci decided by the
committee that they wonid con
elude their soliciting with this , but
[ ntrBUDscrijmuii papur win DO leis at
the office of Mayor Boyd on Thir
teenth street for the convenience of
any who may not have been visited by
the committee acd who wish to sub
scribe. A meeting of the committee
will be held this afternoon at 2 o'clock ,
when provision will be made for the
transportation of supplies and the
ends to which the money shall bo used
determined upon. The following are
