Another deluge of water Is the fea
ture of the Auintxt weather In thin vi
cinity. It Marled In at the undesirable
trick early nnd kept nt It late , when
there WIIH otInitially ! no Kteat demand
for It , until It Hooded nnd soaked and
flonted thliiKH generally. The water
fell In xhrotn nt Intervals during the
night , It accumulated from hills nnil
filled the hollowH and the MrootN nnd
the dllcheii to overflowing
Following the Inch nnd two-thirds
of rnln that fell Wednesday evening
them wns nothing for It to do but nook
Its level as rapidly ns possible nnd by
the nhortet posMhle mute , and the
people of Norfolk have * reason this
morning to be thankful that the dltoh-
Ing outcrprlHo of the present adminis
tration has been so thorough as far
ns the work could be dona , That the
flood demanded ditches as wide an the
streets themselves nnd several feet
deep was rather the fnult of the ele
ments. The generous ditches nt each
nldo of the streets In the districts most
likely to Hiiffor from nn excess of wa
ter , worked bank full Innt night to
remove the surplus and this morning
there was not much evidence of the
flood.
The Thirteenth street dltchon wore
full and much of the flood came down
Norfolk avenue , removing one of the
Thirteenth street crossings to give It
full sweep. The Park avenue ditch
was nlso full and nil the laterals lend
ing to It were working overtime nnd
beyond capacity , but doing the btiHt
they could to prevent the water from
overflowing the streets and sidewalks
nnd crossings.
The rainfall during the twenty-four
hours' ending at 8 o'clock this morning
wan 1,36 Inches , which , added to the
precipitation of the preceding even
ing gave moro than three Inches of
rnln during thirty-six hours , and
swelled the total for the month to 4.70.
This morning started In with a driz
zle nnd promise for still more precipi
tation nnd If there IH not a lot up
noon the rivers will bo going out of
their bnnks nnd August , the dry month
for Nebraska , will exceeding Juno In
flood damage.
The corn prospects may not bo dam-
nged , providing the wet senson Is fol
lowed by ono of warmth and dry. The
email grain crop may not come out ns
well. A few days of wet and heat
will start things to doing In the
tdiocks In a very short tlmo , nnd tlmo
will not talto long to develop the
sprouts nnd spoil the grain. Those
who hnvo anticipated things nnd
placed their grain In the stuck are
doubly fortunate , apparently , nnd will
have grain to sell when they thresh.
Some of the collars took In a little
water during the night but It Is not
believed thnt It will remain long be
cause the ground luul boon qulto thor
oughly dried out nnd Is capable of ab
sorbing great quantities of water.

With the development of Norfolk In

success. Now It Is tending back to
the point from which It originally
started , the very first business houses

that In a few years more property In

formerly was. With the exception of
a building or two far down , most of
them are now occupied and the busi
ness of the occupants Is Improving
constantly. With the government
building located on Fourth street that
Is to bo the probable center of the

Impossible up to the present tlmo to

Charles Nordwlg nnd wife hired a

barn the other day and went camp
ing for n day or two nt the Yellow
Banks. Yesterday morning , on nc-
count of the cool weather , they decid
ed to return homo nnd went nnd
caught their horse and hitched up.
It was the opinion of Mr. Nordwlg
thnt the animal had become frisky
through his food or something that
had been eaten , as ho kicked the dash
board off nnd In other wnys registered
his absolute objection to doing ns wns
desired. Nevertheless they nmnnged
to get to town.
When the animal was returned to
the livery stable the whole matter
wns satisfactorily explained by the
question. "Where did you got this
horse7 It doesn't belong here and a
mistake hns evidently been made.
Where hnvo you left the horse you
hired here ? "
Nordwlg had taken a colt or a

and It did , under protest.

IVm-iii Wind IlPlim Corn.
The warm wind from the south Sat
urday hns been helping materially In
the corn development and has likewise
absorbed considerable quantities of the
excess surface moisture. It has been
something of rare occurrence this sea
son , and following the excessive rain
fall of several days past has been of
great advantage to the crops , and may
serve to prevent small grain from
sprouting In the shocks by giving It
a quick drying.

Fret In the Air l.opnlN Won It.
A bnso ball game by night ! There
s such n thing and Norfolk saw It
nst evening. It was moro the novel-
y of the thing than the prospects for
i good game that attracted ( Norfolk
out. but n consldcrnblo portion of It
(
vas there. The gnmo wns In a can-
as enclosure on the Olnoy squnro ,
orncr of Mndlson avenue nnd Second
street nnd n half moon , assisted by a
couple dozen of gnsollno lamps , made
i fair Imitation of day , so that the
mlloon-llko ball could bo seen nt
cast n portion of the time. The bnso
ml ) game at night was nil right fora
lovelty It was worth experiencing
> ut for a steady diet the avcrngo "fan"
vould kick nnd hnvo a right to.
Then , too , a truthful representation
of the nltnlr would serve to prevent
llsappolntmcnt. Dozens of people
went last night particularly to sco fif
ty arc lights In operation , strung up
n the nlr thirty-five feet and ope
rated by the management's own dy-
lame , nnd wore somewhat Inclined to
feel like they had been faked when
they saw thnt the light was furnished
> y a couple of dozen gasoline lamps
that made a fairly good light , but
were not arc lights lights thlrty-flve
feet In the air , run by the manage
ment's exclusive electricity-generating
ippnratus. It was llkowlso disap
pointing to some to pay their twenty-
flvo cents admission nnd find after
entering the grounds they were expected
pectod to pay an additional fifteen
cents for the privilege of sitting on
a narrow board duringtho game.
But for the play : It was of six-In
nings duration and was won by the
Norfolk team by a score of 11 to 10.
Bovco was In the box and Slsson be
hind the bat , and the entire local club
played hard and with the aid of en
thusiastic rooters succeeded In mak
ing the game qulto Interesting , The
locals had the disadvantage of never
having played by lamp light before ,
but they succeeded quite frequently In
finding the ball , nnd ns for errors , a
wet field nnd a whlto ball that quickly
turned a muddy brown , and the lack
of Hiitllclont light afforded ample ex-
cunts If there had been twice ns many.
The diamond was an abbreviated af
fair , to got It nil under the light , nnd
even then to be compelled to make n
slldo In the water and mud was of
moro or lesn frequent occurrence.
For the Redskins , Joe Glassarm was
In the box and Willie Afrald-of-Hls-
Face behind the bat. Chief Hugglng-
bear held down the third bag and wns
unjustly Indignant when Joe Phillips
of the locals told him with some em
phasis that holding n runner to his
base was not In this year's rules.
Charlie Yellowdog was short and
found n ball or two thnt went above
the lamps. They lacked ginger , but
might have developed some with a
few liberal bets on the side. The lo
cals were a plckcd-up nine but made
n fairly good team considering their
lack of prnctlce nnd other adverse In
cidents to the game.
The game seemed to be all the way
of the visitors until the last half of
the fifth when the locnls pounded out
five runs nnd led the Reds , but In the
first half of the sixth It was made an
even matter and when the locals went
to hat they needed one score to win on
nnd they got It.
The score by Innings :
Indians 12320 2 10

Mr. Brock wns umpire and was al
ternately praised and roasted by the
rooters according to whether or no
he WIIH Able to keep track of the mud
dy sphere as It shot over or under the
lights , lie wns excusable for some er
rors of Judgment under the clrcum
stances and saved Jangling by hold

It was one of the rare tastes of bal
that the local enthusiasts have hat
this season , and might well cause them
to wish for something more and bet
tor In that Held of sport.
