RIVER CAUSES BUR
LINGTON MUCH GRIEF
Annual Ovciflow of tlic Missouri is
Causing Much Expense in Rip
Rapping the East Bank
From Wr.lnfs.lav's f tally
The regular yearly battle between
the fore of wat r of tin turbid
Missouri river an. I the Hurlington
railroad i now on in full force and
the portion of the river opposite this
city on the Iowa side of t lie river is
the scene of the battle pr.mml and
so far the combat seems to be a
fifty -fifty draw altho the railroad
company is working djy and night
on the creation of new rip rap to
resist the onrushing waters of the
river.
The river ucce ded on Sunday in
tearing a large hole in the old rip
ran ami -before it v.a- checked had
caused h great dal of damage in the (
farming lauds that lie along the riven
bottoms on the Iowa side. Tlie Hur
linnto'i rushed all the available men
to the .-crie of action and Division
.Superintendent N". C. Allen of Omaha
has personally been on the job to su
pervise the work and do all possible
to check the flood waters.
All the available men that could
be hired have been placed on the job
and the railroad is still seeking men
to send to the scene of action and
assist in getting the breaks checked
Carloads of brush, rock and other ma
terial have beeh hauled to the scene
of action and dumped into the greedy
maw r.f the river in the hopes of
assuring safety for the company pro
perty as well as the farming lands
on the east side of the river.
The cost of the fight against the
increasing force of the river ha-
reached hundreds of thousands of
dollars for the railroad companv and
still the rher is able it seems almost
at win to rusn in and wash away
the efforts of hundreds of men's la-

brated at the home here on last Sat
urday in a most delightful manner,
and at which the members of the
Sunday school class of the little lady
were in attendance. The heat of
the day led to the decision to hold
the gathering in the cool shade of
a nearby grove and there the young
people spent the time most pleasant
ly in games and a general good time
for the entire afternoon.
The guests were treated to a most
tempting luncheon which was served
by Mrs. M. II. Allen, mother of Mil

Olive Foster, which served to heigh
ten the delights of the event.

Near the 100 Mark.
From WelneFtay's Ialty
One of the most pleasing bits of
news that has been received at tit"
office of William Haird. superinten
dent of the r.urlington shops in this
city, is that authorizing an increase
in the working force at the shops,
which has been running very light
for the past six months.
The orders received call for the
putting on of sixty-five additional
men in the freight car repair de
partment which includes repair and
steel car men and in oilier depart
ments of the shops smaller additions
will be made to the working forces
that will make the total number ad
ded close to 100 in all departments
of the vhops.
The order is effective on Tuesday,
July ."th. and will bring about a
substantial increase in the amount
of money paid out here each month
by the railroad company and there
fore is of the greatest interest to
the citizens and business men of the
community.
This change from the unal ottier
of reduction in the working tone is
a most pleasing one and indicates
that conditions are becoming more
settled anil that the railroads of tbo
country are preparing to resume their
usual activities and add to the ma
terial prosperity of the country. The
greatest problem in the last half
year has been the railroad situation
and the constant reductions which
were made around the first of the
year, caused a large number all over
the country to be thrown out of em
ployment. The decision to resume
the normal activities in shop work
which is effective in almost all of
the shops over the country will bo
most pleasing to the public and rail
road men who have been out of em
ployment for so many months.

One of the young men of the city,
well know for his stepping ability and
fasinations with the fair ones, is now
limping around as the rtult of an
injury received last Sunday while
rusticating at Krug park in the big
town. It seems that the young man
had donned a bathing suit and hitd
himself to the beach, which in the
advert ivements is made to appear as
a rival of the real ocean deptns but
the bather discovered to his sorrow
that such is not the case. While the

From Wednesday's Pally.
This morning an action was filed
m the nit ice of Clerk of the District

C. Lawrence Stull vs. Charles V .

was that the corn land should be cul
tivated and the plaintiff further
tates that he had secured Charles
Dasher to cultivate the land and that
