On account of wash-outs, and iloodod tracks west of bore, tho morning possen gor train from Oxford wus compelled to go round by way of Bluo Hill, making it nine hours lato at this point. Tho total aBsessod valuo of roal estate in Red Cloud is ?! 58,507, and the por- sonal valuo is 110,000, making n total of 9103,507 for tho city, being 1122,000 short of last year's valuation. Quite aehrink ago. Wo supposo it can be laid to the drouth. Within the last few days the rivor has boon ovor Mowing to such an extent that the entire dyking wost of the dam has been washod out, changing tho channol and widening tho river, making it look a veritablo Niagara. Soveral large trees along the bank have beon washed down and islands are a thing of tho past. Mayor Bontley and tho city are about to authorizo tho street commissioner to put main street on a grade. It is cer tainly high time. The streot presents the appearanco of two humps on a camel's back, and drains from both onds. Proper grading would drain tho streot in good shapo and carry the water to Crooked creek. Last Sunday ovening it you had ob served n cortain neighborhood, you would havo soon two families ontor a cave for fear of a storm. Tho rain camo and the water ran into the cave. It was fun to soo tho occupants climb on boxes, chairs, Ac, whilo ono fellow was doing his level boat to ditch tho country to koop tho water from drowning tho poo plo out. It was a great joko. Tho Red Cloud National bank, which has been In Receiver Dorsey's hands since '01, has made a final settlement of nine and one-halt por com. Under tho circumatanceB, this bank has done well. Tho laat dividend makes about ninoty por cent that depositors roceivo, making a total loss of ton per cont. The bank, when Dorsoy took hold of it, was in a rotten condition, and ho did well to make as good a showing as ho did. Mr. Chaflln's lecture, recontly deliv ered at Guide Rock, was so wollrocoivod that ho has accepted an invitation to address the pooplo thoro again, and will doliver anothor address in King's hall, Sunday ovoning, Juno 9th. Additional BoatB havo boon put in, and it is thought all can bo seated this time. Subject: "Queen Esthor." A good choir has beon eecurod and a good timo is expected, This is froe to ovorybody and, from op pourunces, ovorybody ia going to attond, The bonrd of iiiali7.ati(ti for tho city met in tho council chamber Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, but did not il much busiuei-s ( xcopt hearing com plaints lied Cloud pas too much xtate tax in comparison with tho rest of the county. For instance, a brick build ing and one lot. worth $5000, is valued at $1500 in Red Cloud, while 1(H) acres with lino residence, barns, hog pens, .o worth, all told, $5000 m valued at 500. There is surely something wrung in our method of assessing. Tho tines on tho town property would bo about $100, while tho farm properly would escape with, say, $25, Wo do not blame the farmer nor the town man, but there is too great a dilTeronce in the valuation. Either tho town property in valued too high or the country property too low, and wo do not know which. A method ought to bo i.doptod whereby tho taxes would bo nearer equal. Evory man should pay taxes and bear thu burden oqually as liis interests appear, but the ditreronce is too great between two prop erties whoso value is identical. Sunday ovening tho storm north nt Red Cloud about four miles had tho ap pearance of n on clone to obHcrvers in this city. It proved to bo a small cy clone. It commenced rolling things at Ed Roiher's farm. It picked up his hording boy and carried him threo or four rods, tore the chimneys oir, blow shinglen around, and did other injury. Ed thought his timo had conic. From there the storm proceeded northeast, blowing down Joo Lockhart's barn and soveral windmills in that vicinity, Croon ing over into Glenwood township, it blew down fourteon or tlftcen windmills in tho neighborhood of W. W. Hogato's farm, also threo or four barns. Grandpa Milnor'a orchard was badly injured. Valuable trees, full nf fruit, woro torn up by tho roots. Barney KuIiii'h largo bum was badly wrecked and blown olT tho foundation. He also lost two wind mills. Robt. McCallum was also a loser by tho wind. County Treasurer Wlnto had n windmill go over. Quito a num ber of othors had serious damages, but wo could not loarn thoir names. No lives woro lost, which was fortunato. Robt. Harris, tivo miles north of Red Cloud, as well as sovoral other farmers thereabouts, had windmills and out housoB blown ovor. It was a bad storm in the north half of the county. On last Monday tho bicycle track was tho scone of a very peculiar header. It seems that Mac Pope's team toro looso from somewhere, or anywhere, und run away, und wub vory busily engaged in bohoading tho posts in tho barb wiro fenco just south of the uforemontioncd track when Mac hovo in sight, plowing etruight across that bicycle track with his pedal extremities moving like Nancy Hanks' whon sho broko tho record and Mac broko something; don't know whether it wus a record or not. Now, sevoral foot of rain had recontly landod on that track, and Mac struck it ut tho deepest curve, with tho consoquonco that, instead of wading through two or threo inches of water as ho expectod, his foot went from undor him and oh t but ho did smash that water t For ono briot second you could soo tho crewn of his hut, but it quickly vanished from sight, leaving two feet of well, not water over his head, and no rubber boots to bo soon either. Soino ono smiled behind his hand, another snick ered, and one oven wont so far as to laugh aloud, but Mac bravely struck out for shoro und rescued the horso from its dangerous position. Four or live poets were brokon off, also tho cross bar of tho buggy shafts, but tho horse was found to bo none tho worse for its exporienco. Procuring a nice team from our aiTablo livery man, Richardson, ono of our re porters started for a trip to the thriving city of ttladon tho foro part of the weok. The recont rains had caused innumor- ablo washouts which made the road vory heavy, but with tho porseveranco that characterizes nowspapor mon ho pushed on toward his destination. On ovory hand naturo shown rosplondont with glory attesting to tho fertility of tho land in Wobster county. Corn ncd oatB, oven full wheat which was sup posed to bo dead after tho winds of last Tuosday aro looking ns if they havo had nothing but ruin and sun tho spring through. In fact it is astonishing to boo tho marvelous growth that corn and oats havo made since the rain of Sunday night. From browneu stubby spoars oats have suddonly sprung into waving Holds giving tho greatest of promiso that an abundant crop is an inovitablo tor ruination of the soason, In conversing with tho farmers along the way many oxpresaed thomselvoB asboing thorough ly satisfied with the rocont indications for a different season than it promised in tho beginning. With tho exception of ono man Tut: Chirp roporter found them in the brightost of hopes regard ing tho futuro welfare of thoir endeav ors as woll to do tillers of tho soil. This man is known as a chronic kicker .and swoars that wo can't raise a crop with rain or without.
