Death Rode t le Wave.
Sioux City wasvet near washed

The river flows through the center

floods brought death and destruc

hour and a half, and from 9 o'clock
continued to rise steadily, but not
so rapidly. Probablyi one-third of
the inhabitants of Jhe'city Jlive on
the low ground which (s overflowed.

PECULIAR FRED RACE.
Had-s Is Merrily Popping at the
Lincoln Asylum.
From Kridavs l'aily.
There's merry hades popping
over at the asylum among Governor
Hoyd's new appointees. It appears
that Fred Race, well known by his
noise in politics, is "the fly in the
ointment." The racket developed
but lately, when it was brought to
the attention of the board of public
lands and buildings, that about
ifl.riU) worth of extras had been pur
chased without the board's approv
al during the previous month, and
investigation discloses a peculiar
state of affairs.
To begin at the beginning, it ap
pears that ever since Kace has been
over there in the capacity ot book
keeper, he has been trying to get
his work in, and has been extremely
officious, although his duties are
not of a nature to warrant him ex
ercising anything more than a
clerical function. Shortly after
Governor Hoyd's n .'w stewart, M. H.
Madden, made his debut at the asy
lum, Kace intimated to him that he
would like to have a new pair of
shoes go in with the order for shoes
for the institution. Madden either
did not care to rob the state, or at
least he diil not want to do it in
K'ace's behalf, and neglected to or
der Mr. Race's shoes. Other little
clashes came between the clerk and
the steward, until Race gave up
Madden as a bad job, as a man he
could not work, so he turned his at
tention to coddling Dr. Bowman,
the superintendent. He made the
good doctor believe that his duties
as superintendent necessitated
keeping a sharp eye on Madden.
And, straightway the doctor began
checking up Madden in every quar
ter, it iB 8ajtojtUejii.tttMi-)-(eigh"-uigeach
pound of tobacco, butter,
etc., to see if there were sixteen
ounces in it. This made Madden
hot, and put the superintendent
and the steward at sword points.
The superintendent concluded to
do a little buying on his own ac
count, it appears, and purchased a
horse from himself for the state for
$90. He took a school ma'am to
board, at $20 per month, and em
ploys the horse to convey the
echoolma'uui to and from the
schoolhouse. P
The relations between the super
intendent and the steward thus be
came bo strained that Governor
Boyd, it is said, called both of them
up to his office and read the riot act
to them. It is also reported that the
board of public lands and buil lings
called down both of them and noti
fied both the superintendent and
steward that no more purchases of
extras must be made without a per
mit or requisition having been
granted by the board.
The investigation, it is further
stated, revealed that all through the
trouble between the superintendent
and the steward, the bookeeper was
the marplot, playing each one
against the other to gratify his own
ends. J ust what the nature of these
ends was may be guessed at from
t little transaction over a lawn ten
nis outfit which the steward had
ordered from Shilling Bros., agree
ing to pay therefore $25, the said
lawn tenuis outfit being for the use
aid recreation of convalescent pa
tieits. When the set arrived Shilling
tjr )8. found that it cost them $23.50,
ant remamed to Race that it left
then a very small margin of profit.
wlnreupon the officious clerk ad-
visel them to make their bill for $35
tUud he would pass it as correct; at
the (ame time gently intimating
that lis wife might like a bottle of
perfune. Shilling Bros, were final
ly prevailed upon by Race to make
their lill $27.50, which, when it met
jMadden's attention, was rejected as
being nore than the agreed price,
$25.
It is tiid that there were divers
other sd all transactions of this kind
which a e apt to lead to Race's re
moval, uid possibly to the resto
ration oibarmony in the warring
camp of mocracy at the asylum.
A funny incident in connection
with the lew outfit at the asylum is
the busimsa letter-head used, which
was evidei tly ordered by Race, as he
has his nane up at the top of it as
one of the officers, and this, too, at
the exclusion of the hostler, the fire
men and tlij other employes. Lin
