Yesterday morning North Omaha and portions
tions of Hast Omaha were deeper under water
by at least three Inches than they were Tuts-
day. This rise hns brought about a consequent
quent spread of the flood upon a greater
area of the lowlands , but beyond the Hooding
ot fields no additional damage has been done.
This rlso.upon the East Omaha bottoms was
duo to a rise In the Missouri river. At 10
o'clock yesterday morning the river was two
and one-half Inches higher than It was at C
o'clock Tuesday night. It Is now standing at
what Is termed the danger line , with not an
Inch to spare. Since this report was made ,
however , no perceptible ilse was noticed and
It Is stated that the Missouri Is now at a
standstill.
Although no further damage has been done
by the flood , the people residing on the East
Omaha bottoms wcie In state of suspense
Tuesday night and yc tcrday. When morn
ing dawned the entire Island was a scene
of activity. It had been fervently hoped
that the morning's sun would look down
upon a diminution of the watery surface ,
but when the water was found to be greater
In quantity than before , the residents of
the district began to take steps to place
themselves and their possessions Into posi
tions of safety.
Many of the people who had beenforced ,
by the flood to flee from their homes and
leave their belongings behind were hopeful
that yesterday "they would be able to return
to their premise ! . They had therefore al
lowed their furniture to remain In their
houses lu many Instances. When It was
seen , however , that the currents were swirl
ing across the Island with no decrease In
velocity and that the water was higher than
cvsr they hastened ycwtcrday to transfer
their possessions to solid ground. Dy noon
not an article of value was remaining
In this thirty' or forty houses that are stand
ing In the wntcr.
STOP THE BREAKS.
The current that Is sweeping across the
Island parallel with Sherman avcnuo and Is
pojrlng Into Ciit Off lake Is as fierce as be
fore and la even carrying a greater volume
of water than ycatcrday. Measurements at
dawn yesterday showed that It had risen
a couple of Inches during the night. The
mass of water that Is rushing Into Cut Oft
lake at the \yest end of the bridge leading
to Courtland beach seemed to be greater
than It was Tuesday night.
Florence lake has been stemmed and It
la believed that thpro Is no further danger
except In the event that there should bp < i
great rise In the river The Ice companies
anJ th9 owners ot property In the vicinity
Joined together Tuesday and In the after
noon put at work about 100 men and twcnty-
flve teams. Ily means of hags of sand and
dirt , loose earth and hay , the dam was BO
strengthened that , work was discontinued at
nightfall , as It was believed that the levee
would hold.
Yesterday , however , additional efforts
were made tr forestall any possible chance
of a break. H wao decided to raise the
levee to a point at least eighteen Inches
above the present level of the water. In
consequence of this determination a large
force of men was put to work In the morning.
Over'lEO men arc" shovelling and filling bags
nnd wagons , while nearly 'fiftr teams cart
tho'stuff to the dam. K .
„ FUELING qUT. OFF LAKE. _
But wiille tlie stream 'tlfat was rushing
from Florence lake Into Cut Oft lake has
been thus shut off , the latter body of water
Is.still being1 fed by on enormous amount of
water. A'port of this Is from the current
that Is running In at the end of the Court-
land beach bridge. The remainder Is back
water from this stream and from Florence
lake. The water In the latter , having been
denied an outlet through the darn , Is being
pushed out of the west end of the lake and
Is running about 100 feet south of the lake
Into the slough which first carried the water
from the dam Into Cut Off lake. This slough
la as.full as Tuesday , and the water Is pourIng -
Ing Into the latter lake In as big a stream as
yesterday. The outlet Is opposite the big
pavilion at Courtland beach and Is In the
shape of a big cascade.
This back water ( low Is tending to flood the
Isle that has been formed In the center
ot East Omaha and upon which the Ice
houses stand. It has spread over a much
greater area than wns covered Ttlcsday
afternoon , although the water Is deep In only
the slough. Here It ranges from three to
five feet In depth.
The tremendous amount of water that has
been pouring Into Cut Off lake Is rapidly
filling the , basin. During the night the rise
was about twenty Inches. Since the flood
started the lake has risen over three feet.
The water Is almost up to the bottom of the
Courtland beach bridge. It Is licking the
foundations of the pavilions at the beach
and the bath houses are surrounded by deep
water.
The big rise has already caused the lake
to overflow the east slioio. It has covered
the tracks that are located on that shore
nnd has spread gome distance Into the fields.
This overflow , together with the spread of
the river on the east , has almost completely
covered the lowlands that Ho between the
lake and the river. The higher ground upon
which East Omaha village nnd the factories
ttuml are In a safe position.
FAVOIIAIIL13 WIND BLOWING.
The water In Florence lake Is three Inches
Mghcr than It was Tuesday night and appears
to ho still rising. It Is believed , however , that
the Icveo will ho able to restrain the volume
of water. This , confidence was strengthened
yesterday when It wns found that the
wind had changed to the south. All day
Tuesday It blew fiercely from the north ,
driving the waters of the lake with angry
menace against the levee and threatening to
tear It away. When the work was finished
Tuesday night , It was felt that the only danger
was from an Increased wind from the north.
This danger vanished yesterday , when a
( outli fvhid was found to bo driving the water
to the northward from the dam.
Much the same danger has been averted
from the overflow of Cut Off lake to the
pouthward by the change In the course ) of the
Wind. The north wind Tuesday drove the
water against the three dikes that are
situated In the weHtern arm of the lake. Yes
terday the waves were being blown the
other way. The last dike , which separates
the water from the southern lowlands , Ls
btlll about three feet above the surface.
. The slowly rising * river Is gradually creep
ing further upon the southern and the east
ern banks of the Island. For hundreds of
feet Inland , all along this shore , the water
covers the Holds , forming llttlo lakes In
many plucea. There arc , however , no habltu-
lions or buildings ou this etrlp to bo threat-

yesterday wsre to bo seen -wagons going
through the streams of water that overspread
It. Some of these vehicles were used , to re
move the property from the flooded houses
to higher ground. Others were employed
on the work of strengthening the Florence
lakedam. . Still others bore curious-minded
folk , who came to get a view of the sccno
of desolatloii ,
VISIT THE FLOODED DISTRICTS.
The travel through the flooded land was
by no means without MR danger. In some
cases the water was so deep that It reached
the boxes of the vehicles. The currents had
also eaten away holes and sloughs In the
ground tint were not there before , and
horses and wagons and buggies sometimes
sink under the surface In t manner that
was rather nerve-shattering. The continual
wear of the water , too , had Knccdcd a thick
and deep mud below Its surface and It was
most < | fllcult for horses to make progress
through It.
A hole In the road Just west of the Court-
land beach bridge was responsible for an
accident yesterday morning that promised
for a while to be serious. H was directly
In the wagon road that had been con
cealed by the stream of water rushing Into
Cut Off lake. A vehicle , containing a man
nnd two women , drove along the concealed
highway and almost In the center ot the
stream , and one of the wagon wheels
dropped Into a' hole that had not been there
before. The wagon was almost overturned
and the women were thrown out Into the
water. After some effort they were res-
cued.
East Omaha was yesterday visited by
hundreds of people who went to look upon
the picture of the flood. They went on foot ,
on bicycles , on horseback , In buggies , car
riages and wagons. 'Women were largely
represented The most popular spot was the
west end of the Courtland beach bridge ,
where a good view of the flood district and
the big sweep of water could be obtained.
In the afternoon the number of spectators
was even greater.
The river front of Omaha Is being grad
ually eaten up by the rising Missouri. The
nearly three-Inch rise of Tuesday night waa
sufficient to Indicate that the danger point
was reached. Tuesday the river was brim
ful nnd overflowing In spots. Ycstcr-
, day , however , the river was overflowIng -
Ing eveYy'fobt of tKo bank of the Omaha
shore , except such portions as were protected
by rlprapplng. Squatters were compelled to
move by the score. .
UNCOMFORTABLE FOR SQUATTERS.
The dwellers on the bank north of the
smelting works found themselves In an un
comfortable position Tuesday. Numbers of
them were forced to vacate their premises
and seek higher ground. This beginning
was followed up yesterday. There wa-j
hardly onu of tlie huts along the shore that
was not surrounded with water and ti ! ? oc
cupants had ulready removed or weu re
moving. A similar condition existed yester
day In the squatter settlement to the
south of the Union Pacific bridge. This Is n
closely populated section and some of the
houses were standing dlreotly on the edge of
the bank , which in ordinary times Is a dozen
or more feet above the surface of the river.
Tuesday the water began to creep over the
shore and ycoterday It had spread about
the front fringe of huts and was rapidly
the second tier. As
pre-empting a consequence
quence , squatters were moving all the morn-
Ing.
Tuesday night was a strain upon the sciuat-
ter popula'tlon. Although their houses at
nightfall were surrounded by water they
were loath to move , hoping that tlic morning
would show a fall of the river. A big ma
jority of the families remained up all night
to see that they were not carried away by
a sudden flood.
All the establishments and factories along
the river shore reported yesterday that
they were In no danger whatever. In many
cases they have from three to blx feet to
spare before the water can reach them.
The river bank proved to be as popular a re
sort for the curious as East Omaha. Hun
dreds ot people visited all portions of the
shore yesterday to look upon the spreading
waters. The Douglas street bridge was one
of the best patronized of the places.
The water works employes , at the pumping
hotiso at Florence reported yeotcrday
that the river had overflowed the rlprapplug
on tho'Iowa shore and that "the water was
uprcadlng out upon the Iowa bottoms.
WITH THE RAILROADS.
"The railroads reported no further damage -
ago along their lines yesterday due to
the floods. The Elkhorn reports Its bridge
at Blair safe and sound , and expects no fur
ther trouble at that point , as the cuttlng-ln
of the river has been stopped. As with the
Sioux City & Pacific and other roads running
close to the river the tracks have been found
to bo unsteady owing to the softened road
bed under them. Trains are still run slowly
across such sections.
The Union Pacific measurements yesterday
morning showed a rise of 3.G Inches at
the Union Pacific bridge during the
previous twenty-four hours. The report from
Sioux City Indicated that the water there
was stationary. The report from Hlsmarck
at C o'clock Tuesday evening showed a fall of
1.2 feet during the preceding twenty-four
hours. The Elkhorn reports from paints
along the upper river Indicated a slight fall
during the past twenty-four hours.
Both the Burlington and the Union Pacific
roads are still watching their tracks in the
yards along the river bank. Most of the
points where the tracks have been In dan
ger of being washed away have been pro
tected by the dumping of several thousand
sacks of earth along the bank and the
placing of trains of flat cars on the tracks.
Tlie men In charge of this work believe
that the danger has passed. All the tracks
ara resting upon very soft ground. The
Union Pacific locomotive that sunk In the
mud near the smelting works on Monday
night was blocked up and pulled out at
5:30 : Tuesday afternoon. The broken rails
that were the means of letting the engine
down were found at a considerable depth.
RIVER SLOWLTl FALLING.
A private mark kept by the timekeeper
at the smelting works showed shortly
after midnight that the water In the
river had fallen about four Inches. The water
remained stationary nearly all day yctterday.
until about 7 o'clock , when it began going
down. It way falling slowly all night , and
will probably show a difference In levels of
about eight Inches tlilrf morning. The slmn-
.les of the squatters directly south of the
Izard street pumping station were still flooded
at an early hour this -morning , and the river
will have to drop nearly a foot more before
, hey can move In , Local Forecaster Welsh
reported last evening that telegrams received
'rom ' various points along the upper river
ndlcated that the worst was past. The
weather was reported clear all along the
river and flood : } from the tributaries as con
siderably lower than upon the day previous.
At Pierre , S. D. , a drop of three feet was re-
lorted. At Bismarck the river was station-
iry. and this was also the condition of affairs
at Sioux City. The Bad river , which emptlto
near old Fort Pierre , S. D. , Is slowly reced-
ng within Its banks , and this Is also true
of the Cheyenne , White and others. The
Inloni Pacific company had a small gang ot
nen marking along tbo river front both
above nnd below the smelting works last
light , but their work was confined to watch-
i\K \ the nna 11 crevasses and to kecpjng the
vater from washing out the sandbags and
ectlons of rock already placed In position ,
Jnlt-fs the rain ouco more starts In It Is ex-
ected that the river will fall at least two
cot today.

The case wherein Hie Board of Education
applied to Judge Slabaugh for a writ ot
mandamus against the Board of County
Commissioners to compel the latter to In
struct the county attorney to commence suit
against Frank E. Moores for fees alleged
to be due the Board ot Education came up
In Judge Slabaugh's court yesterday morning.
The people who ore engineering the po
litical end of tbo Board of Education shifted
their base of operations again and attempted
to escape from the defeat they could see
etarlng them In the face. It was apparent
that the case was going against them and
they made another desperate effort to hold
off the Inevitable.
Last Monday morning the case was argued
on an agreed statement of facts and an opin
ion was to have been given by Judge
Slabaugh this morning. County Attorney
Baldrlgc , representing the county commis
sioners , and Attorney Covcll , representing
the Board of Education , had agreed on the
facts In the case , the substance of the facts
as agreed upon being that the exact amount
of the claim the county should 'make against
Moores was not known. The county attor
ney argued that It would bo prejudicial to
the Interests of the county to proceed against
Moores without knowing the exact amount
01' the clAltn. The attorney for the Board
of Education argued that the county should
go ahead anyway.
On there arguments the case was submit
ted and the opinion wat to have been ren
dered yesterday. At the hour ot open
ing , however , Attorney Covell appeared , re
inforced by Jonathan Edwards , the member
of the Board of Education who conndcnccd
his associates on the board Into passing a
resolution they didn't know anything about ,
Instructing the mandamus proceedings to be
brought , Secretary Glllan , who has Jumped

passing a resolution endorsing the bill giv
ing thu board the right to levy all the taxes

County Auditor Tate , who has been workIng -
Ing night and day manufacturing political

Just as Judge Slabaugh WEB about to ren
der hlo decision and when It appeared that
the ease would go against the board , Attor
ney Covcll asked ! leave to withdraw the de
murrer he had filed to the answer of the
county and on which the Issues of the case
had been argued and wanted to Introduce.
testimony which he said would show that
the answer filed by the county was false.
County Attorney Baldrlge was not In court ,
having been called out of the city on Impor
tant business , and the county was represented
by Assistant County Attorney Day. Mr. Day
said Mr. Baldrlge had supposed that the case
would bo decided and that there would be
nothing to do In the way of trying the case
over again , and had therefore gone away for
a day or two to attend to some business.
Mr. Day said he wan not prepared to taks
hold of the case , as he had not had anything
to do with the matter , and said that this
change of front ou the part of the Board of
Education was unexpected.
Attorney Covell blustered about and In
sisted that he was ready for trial and wanted
the case to go on. Judge Slabaugh said the
turn of affairs was somewhat surprising , as
ho had supposed nothing remained to be done
nt this time but to decide thfi points argued
by counsel. He said he regarded this case
the same 'as any other-cato-and would not
take any undue advantage of either side. .
He said he-would be In Sarpy county , the next
two days' and would 'eel the case" lor further
hearing Saturday rmfriilng. . . . , , . * ' ,

A most brutal exhibition cruelty to
animals wag witnessed by a large crowd In
front of Boyd's theater yesterday afternoon.
The doors of the playhouse had Just been
thrown open for the matinee performance
and the band belonging to the company wao
playing In front. A high-spirited horse rid
den by Frank Lockman came up Harney
street about this time , and cs soon as the
animal heard the band It began to prance
about in a lively manner. The horse was
held In check with a curbed bit , and as
Boon as It expressed a desire to get away
from the band Lockman began sawing the
dumb brute's mouth with this Instrument of
torture. Instead of helping matters , how
ever , It drove the animal Into a frenzy of
pain and terror. Lockman pcialstcd In an
endeavor to drive the horse close to the
bund , and the horse reaml on Us legs ami
at length succeeded In throwing Lockman to
the pavement. Furious at his discomfiture
before the crowd , Lockman wrenched the
bit In the animal's mouth until Its mouth
bled profusely and the glossy coat was
flecked with blood. The audience at this
Juncture took a hand In the deal and started

Said a prominent Omaha railroad man tea
a Bee reporter yesterday ! "I am glad to
see that there Is plenty of water at Cut OIT
lake. The reason the owners of the resort
there have given for their refusal to gel
up excursions and boom , the place has been
that there was insufficient water there. Non
I should think that they might go ahead
What Omaha needs more than anything else
during the summer months , especially tblo
summer the year before the exposition
Is that there be eome attraction hero that
will draw the people from the Immediate
vicinity. 'If Cut Oft lake were advertised
properly and all the pleasures of a ntburbar
summer resorl provided , the railroads would
bo only too glad to offer cheap excursion
rates. I bcllc\c thousands of people , espe
cially from the country , could bo- Induced to
coniD In nnd spend a day and an evening. "

There Is every Indication that western
railroads will do a big business during
the coming season hauling wool eastward.
The prospects for a good wool movement
from Idaho are especially promising , and
the Oregon Short Line , the Union Pacific ,
and other Interested roads have sent out
their solicitors to capture the business.
The first shipment of the season passed
through Omaha on Tuesday night. It wns
In the form of a special train of sixteen
cars. Tlie shipment consisted of 364,000
pounds of the finest Idaho wool , and was
destined to Boston. It was brought In over
the Unlpn Pacific and taken eastward by
the Milwaukee road , .
When consump
tion gets a grip
on n man , it is
hard to shake it
off. All doctors
used to believe that consunintion was iu-
curable. Many doctors still believe it.
Dr. R. V. Pierce of the Invalids' Hotel
nnd Surgical Institute of Buffalo , N. Y. .
never believed this theory. The result
was that over thirty years ngo by dint of
much concentrated study he discovered a
remedy that will positively and unfail
ingly cure 98 per cent , of all cases of con
sumption.
Consumption is a germ disease , but the
genus cannot exist in rich pure blood.
Therefore it has been called a " blood
' "disease. " People with weak lungs are
likely to produce "weak lunged children ,
and weak lungs arc an invitation to con
sumption germs. Therefore consumption
has been justly called a hereditary
trouble. No matter what il is called or
why it comes , Dr. Piercc'S ' Golden Med
ical Discovery will cure it. The " Golden
Medical Discovery" is a powerful germ
icide. Jt searches out disease genus and
kills them wherever they be in the body
whatever kind of genus they may be.
It stimulates digestive action and sun-
plies the blood with the properties it
needs to make it pure and rich. It
strengthens inherited weak lungs arid
makes them healthy and germ proof. It
Is sold by all good druggists ,
Stagnation breed' ! Impurity. Impurity breeds
disease , Constipation is Maznation of the Ixnvcls.
Constipation breeds Impurity of the blood , nml
all manner of maladies , trifling and serious , nre
the re > tilt. Dr. Tierce's Plrasaut Tcllets cure con
stipation. They never gripe money baclc if they
do. Don't accept name violent purgative as "just
as good , " only lo give the dealer bigger profit.
