A Hard Bain.
The hardest rain over experienced In
Nemaha fell Sunday night, beginning
about soven o'clock. From the best
accounts we can jjet at least twelve
inches of water fell. The gauge at the
depot, which registers six inches, was
full and running over at midnight, and
there was lots of rain after that. Mrs.
Rebecca Collins had a straight jar sit
ting out in the yard that she says she
knows had no water in Sunday, and it
was running ,over Monday mornlmr.
The jar In twelve iucnos deep". E, J.
Maxwell had a half bushell that mens,
tired fourteen inches in depth and it
caught within about an inch and a half
of the top. Numerous others toll
about tho same. The whole town was
Hooded. The culvert across the street
from the corner of the Advertiser of
llce to the livery stable bursted and
a good Btream of water waa running
all day Monday and Tuesday. Many
small bridges and approaches to bridges
were washed out. Tho wagon road to
Auburn on the township lino was
flooded on each side of the Nemaha
river.as tho river was out of its banks.
The water was almost to the tops of
the fence posts. There was consider
able wind the forepart of the night and
some corn was blown down and other
damage done.
At Ailburn six inches of water fell.
Farther north the rain was lighter, so
the Nemaha did not do much damage.

Stor of a Slave,
To be bound baud and foot for years
