The dead lock in the Senate contin

Hascall lays his defeat in Omaha
to the Sltfcumb digh License bill, and
says hundreds of Republicans voted
the straight Democratic Ticket in eon
sequence of tins action of the legisla
ture, thus turning Omaha from a Re
publican to a Democratic City, and
that the temperance question will fig
ure as the chief issue in Nebraska
politics hereafter.
Mahoxe still has the field at Wash
ington and is the central figure. The
real animus of the matter is not
whether certain nominations shall be
confirmed, or Riddlebarger made Ser-
geant-at-Arms of the" Senate, but
whether Mahone shall head a party in
opposition lo the old bourbon rule m
the South and thereby relegate the old
leaders to the background and bring
forward a new set of men with new
ideas and more in harmony with the
advancement of the country since the
war. This is the real fight, and Re
publicans extend the hand ; of friend
ship to Mahone on this ground alone,
and not because of his record in State
01 National politics heretofore.
The editor of this paper left for Chi
cago Thursday last, and found heavy
banks of snow from Galesburg east.
It snowed "Friday and Saturday, and
sleeted and rained Sunday and Mon
day. The streets of Chicago are snow,
mud and slush, and the State of Wis
consin is reported covered with snow,
eighteen inches deep yet. So, bad as
we have it here, it is worse further
east.
We saw Senator Carpenter's body
pass through, and had the pleasure of

Central City Courier, g
HIE FLOOD.
' Since our last issue the Old Mis
souri has taken the biggest spree she
has had in a long while. Last week
Friday the big gorge so much talked
of abjve Sioux City broke and the wa
ters devastated the low lands on the
Nebraska side, and almost destroyed
"Dakota" in Si b., and Vermillion in
Dak. Rushing down to Omaha, the
riprap work was broken on Saturday
and the floods poured over into the
smelting works, through the V. P ma
chine shops, and floated the lumber
and other loose material down the
Mo. Iler's distillery was closed and
the cattle feeding there swam to shore.
Two lives were lost at the Smelting
works. The river reached the highest
on Saturday. 22 feet above low water
mark, uW.ing all lower Council Bluffs,
reaching to the steps of the U. P.
transfer depot and Hotel and cutting
off communication with the U. P.
bridge east of the transfer house.
All trains from the east were held
there. The U. P. went out without
her western connections Monday.
Tuesday a pontoon bridge of flat cars
was m;.de and all baggage paeked
across, the passengers walking over.
The K. C track between Pacific Junc
tion and Council Bluffs is washed out
and C. B. & Q. train are switched off
at Malvern and run over the Wabash
track.
Here, the r;ver presented A grand
sight, being one sea from the west
bank to Pacific Junctiun, though no
damage to l oad or train lias been dime.
The bottoms on tut other side are
badly Hooded. Our only way to 0')a
ha now is by Malvern. The river has
fallen lo nearly its normal condition
by this time ad the f tightened inhab
itants can it ! urn to their bottom
homes in a few days.
Weeping Water Notes.
Ed. Herald Spring is springing

The same corps of teachers is em

Weeping Water is fast assuming a

Where are all our Road Supervis

Our readers have heard through the

"which gives a more explicit account.
but still is not complete:
On Sunday evening between the
hours of seven and eight, the heavy
ice in the Missouri broke up and in a
few minutes the banks were over
flowed, covering all the bottom lands
at Gree:i Island and Dakota with sev
eral feet of water and heavy cakes of
ice. People were compelled to move
into the upper stories of their houses
to keep out of the water. The river
run from tnat time until Monday
evening until about eight o'clock,
when tiie ice gorged and at this writ
ing still remains. On Tuesday ftftir
noon. H. II. Davenport and W. II.
Ruttner succeeded in crossing to the
Dakota shore with a new skiff made
especially for that purpose and to re
lieve the suffering, and remove them
to places of hafety. They visited sev
eral houses that afternoon, and in the
morning wi re joined by John Conley,
Fritz Scholl. and Wilbur F. Pryaut,
who crossed with a flat boat and con
tinued in their noble work. All the
houses in sight were visited and their
occupants, with but very few excep
tions, ?-ons?nted to be taken away to
places of safety, while others refused
to leave, claiming that the danger was
over and they preferred to remain and
look after their stock. At about o
o'clock in the afternoon the water
commenced to raise and a loud rum
bling noise something similar to thun
der was heard along the Dakota b'. tiffs.
beyond Gayville. It was the high
water and ice that has swept our
neighboring town of Green Island, out
of exUletu. The flood struck that,
place at Vi o'clock, and rook every im
aginable thing in iu course. -The
Congregational church was lUu first
building to go then the building of
X. D. Mines, and s on until every
building was curried away.
Mew, women, and children were on
housetop, clinging to trees, and on
floating cake, of jce, where they re
mained all night battJjng with the
watery elements. The r5i.4W-.e of
Uncle Ilenrv Morton wiu seen cool-
ing with the flwod, and his aon offered
31,000 to any man who would save
his aged father and sister who were iu
the building. A. VanAllen and his
brother 'Vene" started with a skiff,
and fought their way through to the
floating building where they found
Mr. Morton and i.U daughter cling
ing to the roof crying for help. The
boys got thein into their skiff and
took them ashore. Miss Mattie Mis
and Emma Mallory, were lodged isi
trees where they remained till morn
ing, Mr. Mallory got into ('apt. Mix's
barn wlwra Sue remained till rooming;
others, we patjue, shared the same
fate but we have Earned the
names. Some six or seven buildings
are lodged on Dave Nelson's farm, and
others are scattered promiscuously
over the bottom and in the timber.
Ten men were seen on the house of
John Nelson, the only one left to sur
vive the once quiet and comfortable
little villa. The store of James
Marsh is still visible, but moved a con
siderable distance from it foundation
and partially carried away. That
people whose lives were saved are dis
trlbutfd around in the families of

Horrible Kesultsol an KartktjUiike on
the Island of Chio.
Chio, April y. A medical commis
sion is nau silting to consider the ex
pediency ot covering the rubbish in
the fortress with earih, as there is no
hope of saving any lives, and the dis
interrment of the dead might produce
an epidemic, It is now believed that
throughout the whole island, which
contained Tu.000 inhabitants, six or
seven thousand were killed, and twenty-live
per cent ot the survivors woun
ded. French, British, American and
Austrian gunboats in tlie harbor are
doing all in their power to assist the
authorities in the work of relief. Only
ten of the inhabitants of Chesmer

lie buried an unknown number of

liouses urn aireauy cracked and roof

How Happiness is Secured.
Happiness is'the abtenca of pain pr
annoyance, and vbereyer there is pain
thero js disease. A pain in .he lower
portion of the body indicates a Mistor
der of some kind. If there is any Q4ur
or color or deposit in the urine, it means
dise;ise, and requires attention at once
We have heard many of our friends
speitk. of tlj.e. remarkable power of
Warner's Safe Kidney and Liver Cure
and are convinced there is nothing so
certain and valuable for all disorders
of the urinary system, both male and
fernale. 4Ttl8

How She Saved Money.
"For nearly six yars my daughter
was most of lluf time on a sick-bed
from kidney and other disorders - pe-
j culiar to women. We had used up
our savings on doctors and prehcrip-
tions without any benefit. Our domi-
j mi- .tiiviani ii lu iiy x itihn s jinj;er
Tpnic, am) f)ur bottles effected a mar
j velous cure, "A it lias been our only
. medicine since, and a dollar's worth
j lias kept our family well over a year,
: we have been able to lay by a; little
money again for a rainv dav." A
