Loan, of St. .Joseph, Mo., died at his homo in that city on tho 30th ult. Gen. Loan was Mncom mandof the M. S.

Hall, ho al ways issued It to Col. Ponick. (Jen. Loan was a good, brave, considerate man, though a very determined and stubborn one in whatever line of policy lio adopted as a Union General. IIo was also a man of great legal ability. Thojiassago of the Slooumb high li cense bill is greatly to bo regretted. A great injustice has been done to the foreign born population of Nebraska, and if the liquor question is introduced as a disturbingelement into our polities tho present legislature must bear the responsibility. Omaha Jlee. Tho Jive does not speak tho senti ment of tho foreign population. Whilo they generally aro opposed to absoluto prohibition, they believe in a high license law, and in holding tho saloon keepor responsible for tho injuries re ceived by persons and property as tho result of their business. Tho people have these provisions in tho Slocuinb law. No reasonable man, foreign or native can object to holding tho fsaloon bus'ness as it doos every other class of businesssubject to penalties of law for wrongs and injuries indicted on tho community by virtue of said business. All will admit tho Slocuinb law a good one, for while it allows tho retail of intoxicants, its restrictions and penal ties will have a salutary efect in mak ing saloon keepers very careful in their handling. rioodDtnth Destitution. The Omaha Jiejmblkan published a letter from Pouoa, Nob., April J1,J giving much information regarding the Hood then at the full. Wo havo room to only abroviato and condonso : No gossip llxes tho facts worse- than they are. No one can know tho devas tation incident to tills spring's "break up" In tho .Missouri, from tho rumors. No pen can describe tho horror of tho vast seas of Ice, debris and water that are on their way down stream. Tho peaceful lit tlo village of Green Island (opposite Yankton) in Cedar county. Ne braska, has been completely washed! awa. Not a house or vestigo is left above the water to tell of tho former town of Green Island. Probably ino souls occupied tho twonty-llvo or thirty houses of tho place and now thoy are absolutely destitute and must depend in many instances on charity for cloth ing. A ponderous gorge must havo biokeu some miles above. Yankton and cainedown in one volume sweeping everything in Its course for miles. It is said that tho rise came with an in describable fury and amidst great roar, l'eopio wore compelled to tloo from their houses for safety and many woro caught in tho relentless tide and woro obliged to seok protection in trees, on haystacks, houso tops, nnd whorovor thero was a possibility of their being safe. Two young ladios found lodging in a tree top, and remained thero over night, and well into tho next day. Ono young man who had escaped, biiw his fathor's houso floating away with his father and sister clinging to tho roof and crying for aid, and offered $ 1,000 to any man who would rescuo them, when two heroic young mon said they would attempt it, but not for the money, and after battling with tho ice and current for an hour, thoy reached tho floating house, cut a hole through thoroof and placed tho half dead fath er and sister in the boat. Shortly after their turn to leavo the houso tho father told his rescuers that thero was a valise in tho room they eauie from, which contained S'iOO, and thoy might havo it II thoy would go hack for it, but thoy refused to futher jeopardize their lives. Not a human being is known to havo perished in tho Hood at Green Island, but hundreds of head of live-stock aro gone, ono well-to-do farmov losing 207 head of cattle, six teen horses aud a great number of hogs. So great, so sudden ami so rapid was the Hood that tho citizens consider thomselves lucky to have saved their lives. The ice that formed tho gorge that washed away Green Island in con junction with other ice lias formed an immenso gorgo nearly opposite the town of Vermillion in Dakota which is now tilled up with tho float ice until the river is packed completely full of ico as far up stream as to reach above Yankton from Vermillion, a distance of no less than 50 miles by water, when an open space is encountered and then another gorgo is thought to be still further up stream and then from Vermillion down stream to nearly op posite this place the river is npparent ontly free from ico when another gorge reaching no less than twenty miles down stream commences (which lias caused the inundation of all the Dakota and Nebraska bottom lands. Should tho upper gorges break first and in their course bring all other gorges, no man can guess what damago will fol low. Thousands of acres of land that lio on the fertilo .Missouri bottom aud have hitherto formed excellent farms are lying waste covered with ico to tho depth of from six to twenty feet. Fully .'500 people in Cedar county alono are loft homeless and penniless, beg ging of their neighbors enough to kiis tain life. Tho ico that now covers the farms cannot possibly molt away bo fore the middle of June, and woro it off not an acre could be tilled, as the people have neither seed or teams to sow it with. It is a truly deplorable calamity that has befallun those thrifty people. The people of Yankton and St. Helena have organized rolief com mittees, and are doing all in their power to temper tho blasts to tho unfortunate peoplo who at one time had prosperous homes wheronow rampant ruin reigns. It is a pity that tho state of Nebraska has no fund that is available in an emergency like this. Men who retired at night surrounded uy plenty were awakonded by tho roaring torrent com pelled lo use every exertion to escape with tho lives of their family and their own. Major J. H. Furay tolls of an incident whore ho saw a mother seated on a bleak bluff wrapped in a damp horse blanket, whilo trying to quiet her baby. Tho destitution of those peoplo should bo inquired into by tho stato and offorts made to relievo the sufforing that naturally follows such a disaster.

Nurserymen and nursery planting not permitted to competu for tho premiums. Tho scheme of laying out a town on the new lino of road within two miles of their placo does not strike tho people of Sheridan with any gi eat emo tion of gratification. It would scorn quite unnecessary and unwise for tho inhabitants of Sheridan to think for a moment of abandoning their present beautiful town site, where much money hiis been expended in the way of publlo improvements, erecting neat and com fortable residences and business houses to start anew. The business men show good judgment in resenting such a proposition. Sheridan ;has got to bo too large, and has too much entorpriso to allow any mushroom cities' t spring up so near to it. Jfumbnldt Sentinel. Yes, they will enforco tho Monroo doctrine. Ths brazenness with which Southern United Slates Senators will stand in their places aud lio about the political frauds and ostracisms that has been practiced in the Southern states for years, is astonishing. A Senator, by tho name of Call, a few days ago had tho imiuonso cheek to dcclaro that thero nover had been anything bub free ballots and honest counts at elec tions in the South. Those Southern follows had better advise reformation in their States instead of making asser tions which every reading man knows to bo falso, by volumes of indisputable testimony. It is no defense to an action brought under this statue (a civil damage act) that tho intoxication was caused par tially by liquor sold by other parties; it is enough if tho liquor sold by tho de fendant was tho direct cause, either in wholo or in part, of the intoxication. Whoro the separate acts of two wrong doors contribute to and jointly cause the wrong, each is responsible as though lie woro tho solo wrong-door.
