Mosquito Creek went out of Its banks
shortly after noon yesterday and flooded
the southeastern part of the city, causing
immense damage to the railroads and de
moralising tha train service In and out of
Council Bluffs, Lake Manawa, as a result
of Mosquito creek overflowing its banks,
rose several feet and at i o'clock last night
the resort was from two to three feet
under water. ,
The Rock Island. Milwaukee , and Bur
lington railroads were unable to use their
main lines owing to the overflow of
Mosquito creek which washed away large
sections of their tracks Just east of the
city. East of tha Milwaukee depot on
Sixteenth avenue la a lake extending south
beyond tha Milwaukee roundhouse. There
are several feet of water in tha roundhouse
and by the middle of the afternoon the
company was unable to get any of Its en
gines out. Near the roundhouse a section
of the track 800 feet long was washed
away. A previous washout near Neola
had rendered tha main line of the Mil
waukee useless and Its trains were sent out
over the Illinois Central.
Near the old Chautauqua grounds, the
Rock Island Buffered a bad washout and
owing to the rush of the water from
Mosquito creels, was unable to make any
repairs aa tha oars with ballast could not
be got near the washout.
The local yards of the Burlington from
Tenth avenue to Sixteenth avenue were
several feet under water and by evening
the, switch engines were unable to make
the slightest headway. The culvert bridge
one and a half miles east of the city was
washed out during the afternoon and this
effectually put a stop to the road using
Its main Una out of Council - Bluffs. Its
Denver trains from, tha east were run
around by Bt. Joseph and the local trafflo
served by a stub from Belleville, Kan.
Mannwn Park Flooded.
At Manawa tha surrounding country was

will be great At the reaott the lake rose
rapidly during the afternoon and by even
ing the park was under water from one
all dangerous places on the sidewalk and
close the bridge over Indian creek where
the great amount of debris accumulated.
City Engineer Etnyre estimated that It
would take between 12.500 and 13,000 to
clean the streets and temporarily repair
the dirt streets which have been washed
out- .
Cleaning Ip the Mad.
Tha Northwestern railroad and the motor
company had large forcea of men at work
all day clearing off the mud on Broadway
between Ninth and Twelfth streets. So
great was the demand for laborers that
both companlea were obliged to offer 40
cents an hour, and even at these wages
they found It difficult to secure sufficient
help. By 4 o'clock In the afternoon the
motor company had cleared Its tracks
sufficiently to be enabled to resume through
service between the city and Omaha with
out transferring Its passengers at the
Northwestern tracks.
Street Supervisor Quitter had a number
of men at work, but owing to the Increased
wages offered by the railroad and tha
motor company had considerable difficulty
In securing any help at all. Aa far as
possible all the dangerous places where
the sidewalks had caved In were barri
caded with boards. Tha bridges at Eighth,
Ninth and Tenth streets over Indian creek
were closed to traffic and will be kept
closed until the debris which accumulated
against them has been removed. Wagon
load after wagonload of planks, brush
wood and other debris which had accumu
lated at the Eighth street bridge were
hauled out of the bed of the creek yester
day and carted away. It will take several
days to complete thla work.
The street supervisor also had a force of
men digging tha mud off the sidewalks
on Broadway and by evening the walks
were fairly passable. The mud waa (craped
off into the atreet anal will yet have to be
carted away.
Pimplnf Oat Demnta,
Pumps were In great demand yesterday,
and so were rain to work them. On Main
street each of the Implement houses had
pumps at work relieving their basements
of tha water which had flowed In from the
street or backed up from the sewer. Al
most as many cellars and basements were
flooded by the backing of tha sewers as
by the water flowing In from the streets.
This was especially true on Broadway be
tween First and. Seventh streets.
At tha .large warehouse building of the
Oroneweg A Bchoentgen company on
Broadway and Ninth street a powerful
steam pump was put to work and by night
the basement had almost been pumped

the flooding of the basement at about

NEW YORK, Auf. 7.-The American boy
who tried to escape from the French bark
Marechal deOontaut yeaterday, alleging that
he had been "Shanghaied," waa Uken from
tha vessel this morning by Collector of tha
Port Stranahan, who had gone out to sea
on the revenue outter Greshara to rescue
the boy.
The boy la named Hugh Thompson, la It
years old and Is tha son of a sailor who
ships on a coastwise vessel whloh plies be
tween Bangor, Me., and points south.
After ha had been taken In charge by tha
revenue officers young Thompson said ha
had not been forcibly taken to the boat,
but had gone with tha conaent of hla father.
Ha aald, however, that he thought he was
to ship on a coaster and when he found
that Marechal do Uontaut waa bound for
Yokohama and that he would be absent for
many months ha wanted to return to his
home.
It was after t o'clock last night when Col
lector Stranahan decided to go out after tha
French bark. He earns to this conclusion
after the pilot who had been aboard Gon
tgut returned and reported that a boy on
the vessel was locked In a closet and kept
screaming, saying ho had been kidnaped.
The collector put to'sea on Qresham im
mediately. Gresham came up to Marechal da Oon'
taut after midnight Lieutenant Hots
achamar of Qreshara and two of tha crew
put off In a small boat and went alongside
the French vessel. Tha lieutenant ahouted
to tha watch to let down a ladder.
"They didn't appear to understand me,"
aald Lieutenant Hotaachamer In speaking of
the Incident afterward, "so I sprang up the
chain platea and got on the deck. Two
men stood there talking, but J could not
understand them. One of them waived hla
arma about and ran toward me, but
pushed him to ona side and ran down Into
the hold. I passed 'through the galley and
Into the forecastle.
'There were about sixteen bunks there
and up forward I saw tha boy. Ha was
Bleeping. I woke him and asked him if he
had been kidnaped. He would not say much
at first, ao I took him up on deck. There
was no resistance by the crew. I then had
a ladder lowered and the reat of the party
cams aboard." ' .
Before the lieutenant boarded tha French
man he placed a navy revolver In his hip
pocket. The other officers alao were armed.
Collector Stranahan was tn his official uni
form and aent at onca for Captain Danler.
He demanded that tha captain ahow him
the ahlp's articles.
Ha aald tha name of tha boy did not ap
pear on them, and this, he declared, waa a
violation of tha shipping lawa. On the ed

DES MOINES, Aug. 27. (Special Tele
gram.) The populist state convention was
held today and ticket and platform given
out. Tha ticket will have to go on the bal
lots by petition since the party haa no
official atandlng ana failed to get any votes
last year. The attendance at the conven
tion waa butter than two years ago, aa
there were seventeen In all present during
the day. What they lacked In numbers
they made up In enthusiasm and hopeful
ness. J. R. Norman of Albla, who runs a
populist newspaper, the only one left In
Iowa, was the moving spirit ft the con
vention. He called the meeting to order
and ex-Congressman Welter was made
chairman, with Herman Rone of Charlton,
aecretary. The chairman refrained from
making a speech and declared that the woes
of the downtrodden laborlngman were al
ready so well known that no further dis
cussion Is needed. Committees were ap
pointed and In the afternoon the following
were nominated: Governor, L. H. Weller
of Nashua: lieutenant governor, S. M.
Harvey of Des Moines; judge, J. A. Lowen
burg of Ottumwa; raHroad commissioner,
Waller McCullagh of Davis City; superin
tendent, Mllo Bunco of Stuart
Tha convention nominated the ticket
without contest, but there was a spirited
debate over the platform. One faction,
headed by Howard Rose of Charlton, de
sired to eliminate the demand for the refer
endum and confine the party's appeal on
this line to the Initiative.
The convention decided to endorse hi
plank providing for tha Initiative alone and
to use the phrase "Initiative and referen
dum" elsewhere, thus satisfying both sides.
The platform says:
We endorse the Omaha platform of 1F92.
Wa favor the adoption of the initiative
and referendum In all eleotlons of state
and national character.
We demand that the right to elect both
as to who shall hold public office and what
ahall be the public policy In government
shall be conserved to the people and that
all forms or aystems Invasive of thla right
ahall be repeated.
We recommend that the foregoing be
made a part of the national platform at
the next national convention.
Hits State Fair Hard.
The heavy rains of this morning came
near bringing the state fair to an early
end. More than three Inches of rain fell
laat night at Dea Molnea and the rainfall
waa reported to be seven Inches at Osceola
and other points south. Much damage was
done the railroads entering Des Moines
from the south and west and a number of
trains were abandoned entirely. There was
a corresponding decrease In attendance at
the fair, though the forenoon was fairly
good. Many of tha implement exhibits
were aurrounded by water and before night
the major portion of the ground was cov
ered with deep mud. In the afternoon the
ruin fell again and caused great damage
and discomfort. The receipts of the fair,
however, are now about $40,000, which
much more than covers all expenses.
'Colored People Organise,
A state branch of the National Afro-
American league waa formed here today
by about twenty-five prominent negroes of
the state who had gathered at the call of
George II. Woodson, a prominent negro
lawyer of Mabaaka county. There was
some trouble over the formation of com
mittees and the rivalry between factlona
caused disagreements, but a fairly good
working league was formed.

that only recently a Rusalan consul waa

The European squadron Is so situated that
It will require several daya for It to ren-

Minister.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 17. Mr. Magelssen
waa 10 yeara of age. He was educated In
the common achoola of Minnesota and was
atudent of the Lutheran colleae at De-
corah, la., for three years. For a time he
was city asaeaaor of Sioux Falls, 8. P., and
lso associate editor of a paper called the
Echo, published there.
No additional information waa obtained
t the State department during the day.
Aa yet no request haa been made of the.
Navy department that the European squad
ron be aent to Beyroot and none will until
It appears that there la a disposition on the
part of the Turkish government not to com
ply with the demands of the State depart
ment for the Immediate .apprehension and
punishment of the murderer and of the
local authorities If they were negligent.
In the absence of particulars no motive
can be ascribed for the crime and the State
department officials have no means of sug
gesting a theory as to why the vice consul
hould have been killed. There haa been
no complaint about him 'or his work and
the meager cablegram conveys not the
lightest suggestion of a cause for the
crime.
Although a copy of the dispatch from
Minister Fleischman was sent to the Navy
department no request waa made to send
the European squadron to the eastern Med
iterranean but the Navy department, an
ticipating that such an emergency might
occur, cabled Admiral Cot eon to have the
squadron In readiness for sailing If It waa
deemed necessary. The president was In
formed Immediately of the assassination
and of the steps that had been taken by
the State department to secure redress.
Further details of the crime and the action
of the Turkish government are waited with
Interest by all government officials.
