Lincoln. Nebraska. A .Rainy Picnic Monday's Daily i The picnic which the Sophomores planned for the Seniors at McPher son's Lake last Saturday got rained on to an alarming extent. The crowd, consisting of forty-two yonng people, loaded on two large hayracks, started for the ene of their prospective fes tivities early in the morning. The Ky was almost clear, consequently few parasols were in evidence. Before the nierrv crowd were three miles from Oojumbus, they were sorry they had nor consulted the weather man. The rain fell in torrents and it did all the things ro the starched gowns that water can do. In fact the ap pearance of some of the girls was so transformed that it appealed to the artistic taste of Miss Smith, the art teacher. who made gome sketches from lilt- that are saicPto be very interest ing. The ram drove the crowd into the nearest farm house which happened ro be on rhe Galley farm whero a new hous had been bnilr recentlv. For a rime prorection was songhr under some sheds, bur the rain continuing, rhe young folks were invited to the house, where they remained for about four hoars. How the forty-two high school people, added to a family of ren children weie ablo to occupy three extra cbairs and eat dinner and then come home and report it the grcaresr picnic ever, is more than we can x;laiu. Some of the boys walked home on the lailroml track and the waco. with their water soaked brudeua.pull ! ed in about five o'clock. Principal Brittell, Mrs. Chas. Dack ard Miss Marion Smith very ably and acceprably chaperoned the crowd. Laid Out With an Air Tube ( Monday's Daily i An air tube used for the purpose of connecting cars after conrjllnrr has I been made was the weapon with I which a fellow train man put another man out of business this morning jnst before leaving with their train for the usual run. Denny Sullivan was the fellow who wielded the tnbe to such telling effect and Davis, a fireman re -ceived the blow over the head and now he is in bed under the care of a physician. Snllivan is a brakeman and went out as usual with his train to Grand Island. It seems that there was an old grudge of long standiag and after a few uncomplimentary re marks passed between them this morning the collision occcrcd as above stated. I . hVn ?,,??

Sense Old Horace Greely said a good many things besides "Go west, young man," and most of them are good yet. The following is told by the magazine Suc cess: An acquaintance once met Horace Greely one day and said: "Mr. Greely I've stopped yonr paper. " ' ' Have you V 'said the editor ; ' ' well, tnat'N too bad. "and he went his way. The next morningMr. Greely met his subscriber again and'said, "I thought you had stopped the Tribune: "So I did." ' ' Then them must be some mistake. ' ' said Mr. Greely, "for 1 jnst left the office and the presses were running, the clerks were as busy as ever, the compositors were hard at work and the business was going on the same as yesterday and the day before." "Oh!" ejaculated the subscriber,"l didn't mean that I had stopped the paper; I stopped only my copy of it, because I didn't like your editorials." Z "Pshaw!" retorted Mr. Greely. "If wasn't worth taking up my time to tell me such a trifle as that. Mr dear sir, if you expect to con trole the utterance of the Tribune by the purchase of one copy a day, or if you think to find any newspaper or magazine worth reading that will never express convictions at right angles with yonr own, yon are doomed to disappointment.' Eecord Breaking Storm i Monday's- D:iil i The rain which fell Saturday and part of the night was the heaviest ex perienced here for years. Washouts on the railroads are reported from all sections east and west. On the main line the through trains have been run ning any old time, some being as late as forty hours. WeBt from here almosr to Grand Island the track in many places is under water and several breaks in the grade caused calling in to service many track men and the piledriver crew. East from here and near Schuyler the country is a solid sheet of water and at Fremont the entire low lands and "a great portion of the city is a running stream of water. Trains on the Norfolk and Spalding branches were tied up from Saturday evening until a late hour last night. The Norfolk passenger which was due out at S o'clock Saturday evening did not leave the station until late Sun day afternoon. Over a hundred workmen and train men were busy all day yesterday and late into the night repairing tracks and washouts near Monroe on the Al bion line and between Humphrey and Madison on the Norfolk line. They report the water to be highest since the building of the branches twenty years ago. At nine o'clock this morning an other break was rejorted two miles west ofDnncan and three trains bound west and two for the east arc side tracked waiting to cross after nee cessary repairs can be made. At Silver Creek and Clarks the citi zens are compelled to use boats to get to and from their residen ces. The Loup is the highest it has been for fifteen years and Shell Creek is out of its banks and rushing over the cultivated lands in many places two feet deep, and it is said to be the highest it has been for forty vears. Editor Pratt fays that Humphrey and Platte Center are both flooded, the water being above the floor in many houses. Columbus has got its share of the flood and in the north west part of the city cellars are filled, sidewalks floated" nway and smaller boatbuild ings washed from their foundations The country jnst north of Columbus is a sea and the fanners find it diffi cult to do chores and care for stock. Representative Bender who was in Fremont at about soon aays that the whole city i6 flooded and that as his train left, the tracks on the Elkhorn road were being washed out. The B.&M. track near the bridge south of Columbus was washed out, delaying this morning's pa monger an hour. The irrigation ditch north of town is a roaring river and lands around it are swept by the flood. Many places along the Meridian road has been washed eatirely out and the water has been pouring into town from the north to such an extent that west Columbus is aothiag but a lake. The stockyards wast of the coal chute are floatiBg in water and the U. P. "Y" has two large holes wash ed from under the nils. For fresh fish ami oysters go to M. s. Extraordinary Special Sale!

HEAVY RAINFALL- Two Inches in Two Hears Cellars Flooded Ram Still Falling, i Saturday's Daily i The heaviest rainfall of the season occurred to-day, and the end is not vet as we go to press. l C.Gray re norts the rainfall in two hours this forenoon at more than two inches.and there has probably been an equal fall since noon. Many cellars in Columbus are full nf water and the leaky roofs have all been penetrated by the driving rain. The brick foundation under the store house of Fred Asche on th cor npr of Olive and Eleventh was under-! mined bv rhe water this morning and about twenty feet of it caved in. There will doubless be washouts on the branches out from Columbus and other flood casrrophies resulting from the down-pour. Route 4.

The fool newspapers are trying to make fun of the emancipated female just because the presiding officer at a recent convention 6aid,"Thf lady in the purple plaia is out of order. The lady in the yellow 6ilk has the floor." It strikes us that this is a very Eensi ible and efiertive way to designate the dear critters. It would hardly do to refer to "the lady from Philadel pnia," "the lady from Podnnk,''etc, because with all the members clamor iug for the door there might be sev eral ladies from Philadelphia. Nor would it be in accord with the spirit of tht occasion to designate a mem ber as Mrs. So-and-so. since that very act would be an unpleasant reminder of the deposed tyrant, Mr So-and-so, who is either out on a spree as a cure for loneliness or at home washing dishes, as the esse may be. It would belie the very name of emancipation to veil the identity of this sovereign female under tb- name of that com mon toiler. As well micht the chair man of u Mag convention address a ' memhr a "the male complement of Ar.r.ni;..o wit... I'lol.l-inr, ' ... - thine of the sort. But in the matter of feminine raiment there would be no doubles and consequently no am biguity. Such a method of designa tion would require nice disci imina tion on the part of the presiding offi cer and wonld open up numerous pit falis into which she might stumble. Ent we are convinced that it is the only really satisfactory method. CARD OF THANKS.

The case of the Stato ncaiust Dr. D G. Walker of Lindsay for practicing medicine without a license was heard in district court Monday atfernoon and decided iu favor of the defendant. Judge Reeder instructed the jury to find that the State Board which" at tempted to revoke Dr. Walker's licen se had no authority for 6uch attempt ed revocation and that since theState Board lacked that nuthoritv under the law, Dr. Walker's licensee had never been revoked The jury was areed upon in a very few minutes and the whole case disposed of in about two hours. The merits of the case which involve the charge of attempting to commit criminal abortion, were not entered upon the whole decision resting upon the jurisdiction of the State Board to revotce n license on the charge in this case. This is a signal victory for Dr. Walker. Whether the case will br carried to the higher courts has not yet been ascertained. The prominence which has been given in Platte and adjoining counties to what has been known as the"Urod-boll-Walker" fight, warrants a brief review of the trouble aud litigation which has been spread out over two years and which, possibly, is still un settled. It is not necessat3- to revert at length to the beginning of the litiga tion soon after a heated municipal el ection at Lindsav in which Dr D G. Walker, though opposed by E. A. Brodball. was elected to the village council of which he becnine chairman It was about this time that Dr. Munk of Newman Grove called Dr. Walker in consultation in the case of Mrs. Dennis Daly, noon whom it was alleged afterward before the State Medical Board, that an abortion was performed by the two doctors. The doctors, on th other hand, maintained that the operation was performed to save tho htt of the wo man, and with the full consent of the husband of Mrs. Daly. Several other similar charges were made to all of which there was a similar answer from the doctors. One charge of rape was also made ncainst Doctors Walker and Munk, on complaint of E A. B rod boll. The case was tried at Mad ison and the court pronounced the doctors not guilty. Then the same charge', were filed with the State Medical lioanl ami after a hearing, the professional li censes of both doctors were revoked. Jndge Post, counsel for the doctors, filed a petition in error to the district court of Lancaster county settinc up that the orders of the State Board revoking the licenses were void. The complainants' attorney inndo a motion to strike ont the petition on the ground that the findings of the State Board were not reviewable in a district court. Thi:- motion was sustained, leaving the Board's revoca tion order iu apparent effect Then the doctors returned home and upon the advice of Judge Post com in ued their practice as lefore lr was this practice that led to the criminal action brought against Dr Walker which has just been decided m favor of the latter Judge Post'c telling argument in this last case wa- his calling attention to th fact that the complaint alleged simply nn"atten:nt" to commit an abortion, ann that the StateMedical Board is given authority by law to act, only in cases where there is n "completed" abortion al leged For professional reasons bt known to himself. Judge Post did nor argue this point in the district court of Lancaster county Now mat Dr Walker stands acquitted, Jndge Post expresses himself as reasonably certain that the law of lt0:; creating the Med ical Board is unconstitutional on sev eral grounds Ami he believes that the decision of the district court m Lancaster county, which hold- that the legality of tho State Board't, act ion is not reviewable by the courts, will be reversed in theSuprenie courts whPre the case is to be appealed. Now that Dr Walker ha won hi? cases on technical grounds, he expresses him self as determined to have th- charges tried on their merits and to that end he will doubtless becin damage pro ceedings against I. .-. B rod boll and other complaining witne?es Dr Munk was simp:v an interestea witness at Dr. Walkf trial. Had the case gone against alker he be lieves that similar action would have been brought against hi?.
