THE MISSOURI ON A RAMPAGE.
Highest At This Point Since the IliRh
Water ol 1881.
The old Missouri is pgain on the
rampage. At noon the government
gauge showed 13 8.10 above mean low
water, and on the Iowa side east of
the city it is cutting it3 way into the
land. As a result of tbis it has not
raised much since morning. The
Burlington's river trrck on the Iowa
side is under water, but it has not
reached the main line.
At Yankton, a huge ice house was
floated against, the Great Northern
bridce over the Pine river, and both
structures are ehi eatened with dis
tructiou. Ileavy rains fell In all this
section last night and todny and
streams emptying into the Missouri
are all running bank full again. The
river here will rise at least twenty-
four hours longer.
Last evening the river broke over
into its old channel by Omaha, flow
ing into Floience lake, which was
formed when the river changed its
course nearly twenty years ago,
Last night the water wus pouring
down through the lake and has flooded
the bottoms in the vicinity. All the
houses in North Omaha, two or three
hundred in number, are surrounded
and the inhabitants have been moving
to higher ground. The Missouri Pa
cific and Elk horn tracks are under
water. The river is still rising.
The water from the break into Flor
ence lake is finding an outlet into Cut
off lake and if the rise is much greater
there is groat danger that the river
will re-establish ita abandoned course
of twenty years ago. In this event
the property loss will be enormous, as
there are enormous railroad plants,
factories, eta , in the lino of tho threat
ened cutoff. It was stiil raining there
at midnight and there was no way of
telling what damage was being done
in the darkness by tho unruly waters

The team ran up Main street to
seventh and circled back around to

tongue to the wagon broke and they
were stopped. No damage was done
except to the wagon.
The Christian Church Entertainment.
The entertainment given by the la.-
dies of the Christian church at
White's hail last evening proved a
gratifying success, both financially
and socially. A good crowd was in at
tendance and the program was highly
appreciated. A good supper was
served, to which those in attendance
did ample justice. A neat sum was
realized for the church.

A Valuable Prescription.
Editor Morrison of Worthington,
lnd., "Sun," writes: "You have a
valuable prescription in Electric Bit
ters, and I can cheerfully recommend
it forConstipation and Sick Headache
and as a general system tonic it has
no equal." Mrs. Annie Stehle, 2625
Cottage Grove Ave., Chicago, was ail
run down, could not eat nor digest
food, had a backache which never left
her and felt tired and weary, but six
bottles of Electric Bitters restored
her health and renewed her strength.

IN MEMORY OF MRS. VESTAL
Was a Devout Member of the Met hod in t
Church Since the Age of Sixteen.
Mrs. Martha Vestal, who pissed
away last Friday, was born in Indiana,
January 22, 1847. When four years
old her parents moved to Iowa, living
one year in Keokuk county, then lo
cating in Powashiek county, where
she passed her childhood. At the age
of sixteen she embraced the Chris
tian religion, joining the Methodist
church, of which she has been an earn
est and devout member ever since.
During har last hours, white suffering
great bodily pain, she fervently sang
"When I Can Road My Title Clear"
and "Nearer My God to Thee," and
was ready when the messenger came
to bid her como up higher.
Knowing full well that the time had
come for her to go, 6he was prepared
for tho journey, resting on the promi
ses of God, which the consciousness of
a well-spent life alone can give. Mrs.
Vestal was indeeda truly noble woman,
whom none knew but to love. She h id
a kind word and a cheerful smile for
all, with a word of eucouragemont for
those in trouble.
Martha (Allen) Vestal was ixarried
to L. H. Vestal on November 6, 1805,
in Iowa. They removed to Kansas the
following year, where they resided
until 1871, when they returned to Des
Moines, la. Remaining there until
about eight years ago, they moved to
Nebraska, locating near Ashland.
From there they removed to Platts
mouth, and have been residents of this
city for the past six years. There is
lelt to mourn her departure her be
loved husband and three daughtois
Mrs. W. E. Pal meter, of this city; Mrs.
Willis Babbitt, of Cedar llapids, la.,
and Mrs. Ed ward Richards of Ashland.
Mother, dear, has gone up yonder.
Where the good alone shall go.
She to us seems fonder, fonder
We have learned to love her so.
From all earthly paiu she's free.
On that bright, eternal shore;
. By the strand of the crystal :-ea.
There we'll meet her as of yore.
Her kindly word and pleasant smile
We will miss on our journjy here;
We will trust iu God the w hile.
For we know she is happy there.
God guide us all while here below.
That we may w hen our voyage is e'er.
Find up there our resting place.
Where our dear one has gone before.
Death of an Old Lady.
Mrs. Jane Rhodes passed to her
final reward at 4 o'clock this morninjr

Jones, Pearl and Thirteenth streets,
