-Atkinson's Attractions.
The now store of Atkinson & Co. ,
Croifihton block , was J et week the
ono thing that drew more atten
tion than . .the great flood of
the Big Muddy. This firm has
for years monopolized the beat
millinery 'trade In our city. Their
trade having iacroasod to such proportions
tions during the pa t year , they have
found It necessary to procure morocom-
modlous rooms which they have found
In the .most central portion of the
city , located as they now are on 15th
street , but a few doors from the post-
office , and carrying the finest line of
millinery goods ever exhibited In the
west. They are destined to do
oven a greater business than
they bare been doing. The
doors , -of their new establishment
were thrown open on Thursday morn
ing and that day and the two follow
ing , they were continually thronged
with visitors , who had noticed in THE
BEE the advertisement of the long
'
lookodf ore vent 'ATKINSON'S OrENiNa.
Whether it was the advertisement in
THE BEE that drew BO large , a crowd ,
or the general reputation of this firm
for making fine displays at their open
ings , we do not know , bnt we do
know 1ha overybo3y came and 'all
were ' 'more than pleased. This
year there ar < s more new attractions
in nulUBery-good nin. . all othei
lines of goods known , and Atkinson
& Co.'s exhlbUedthe latest and -beet
to their delighted visitors. .Fine
Hats of every Style and Shape , Flow-
on , Ribbons , Silks , Velvets , etc. , were
strong from t e celllng o the floor In
nt profusion. The cans COB-
tailing the most costly bonnets ,
trimmed In the latest fashions , with
perfect taete and design , were much
admired by the ladles. A kinson &
Co. have1 always had the reputation
of carrying tha finest and largest stock
of millinery in Omaha , and this year
they have increased their stock.

COUNCIL BLUFFS LEVKE.
At the meeting of the Council Blnffr
city council last Friday evening ) the
city engineer submitted the following
preliminary report of a plan for the
proposed levee , to protect that city :
L A levee , extending from the
northwestern round house to the
Union Pacificembankment , a distance
of about four miles. This levee should
be constructed at least five feet above
the present high water mark ; should
be from 15 to 30 feet , in width , on top
with an outer slope or water slope
of three feet to ODD and an In
terior Aslope of two feet to one.
This levee In the moit ex
posed places should be protected with
willow stakes and willow brnsh weav
ing. A right of way from 125 to 200
feet should bo secured , varying ac
cording to the height of grade to be
built
2. On the south side , to guard
against backwater , a system of levees
not as large or expensive as the
main dyke above town should be
built , with flood gates to let out the
waters of Indian and Mosquito creeks.
The engineer is of the opinion that
the construction of the main dyke
will require 178,000 cubic yards of
flirt.
flirt.It
It is urged by some of the residents
sf upper Broadway that the soil of
both the bottom and the bluffs is
totally unfit to build dykes and that
is use would be little else than an ex-
iravagant waste of money. This obi -
i action is met with the statement that
, he willow revetment will strengthen
he dirt embankment so that it will be
ible -withstand any force the river
will be able to bring against it.
SPOOK LAKE.
The situation at Spoon Lake is be
soming very interesting. Several of
he flat cars that form the temporary
; ang way are now entirely submerged
md others arejso tipsy as to furnish a
rery dangerous mode of transit. In
act ono of the men who came over
yesterday was of the opinion thatja
lok of life was made by him in taking
lie trip. Extra planking , carloads of
and bags , and various other
neasurea for safety are being brought
; o the rescue by the U. P. company ,
whose embankment ImmedUtsly west
if the flat car bridge is also threat-
med with destruction.
At the U. P. hotel the fires are out ,
he walks are on the float and the
owerfloors are beginning to feel the
lamp.

UNCHANGED YESTEBDAB.
The reports at the signal service
jffice at 9 o'clock last night indicated
that the river was at the same general
ielght as in the morning. Reports
received from Sioux City Indicated a
'all of one foot at that point during
ie past twenty-four hours. This
rill doubtless cause a subsidence of
, he water hero. Several bridges of
, hb railroads crowing creeks near
Sioux City , were broken on Saturday
light , bnt wore repaired sufficiently
to permit limited travel yesterday.
THK SITUATION
af affairs , both around the smelting
works and shops in this city , and across
the river , was thoroughly explored
yesterday by Messrs. E. B. Kennedy
and Ben. Smith , of Pmaha. They
devoted the entire day to the trip ,
using a row boat. From the Transfer
hotel they rowed within two and one-
half blocks of the Pacific hotel , in the
very heart of the city. They claim
that folly two-thirds of theclty is
under watT. Two thousand , people
are homeless and being cared for by
charity. All of the depots , machine
shops and principal industries are
flooded. No trains can get within
several miles. The Northwestern
trains ( &are unable to procee
any further than Missouri Val
ley. Conversation with many o
the leading citizens disclosed th
fact that they fully appreciate the de
plorable state of affalrt. Many o
the people driven from their home
indicated an intention of removing
to Omaha er other point * , as sooi
as they got their household gooda ou
in something more substantial thai
scows. Although tha hotels remali
full cf passengers , the productiyi
buiinesa of the city is at a standstill
It will require many weeks of dr
weather to thoroughly remove thi
dampness from walla and cellars , whlli
the damage cannot bo estimated.

OMAHA , April 25,1881
To the Editor ot Tha Be * : ,
In your issue of Saturday lut ap
peared an artlclu stating that I was
insane , which I respectfully request
you to contradict , as it might cause
me a great deal of harm. I am in full
possession of my intellectual faculties
probably more so than the reporter
who circulated the above rumor. The
simple truth is that I have been very
sick with brain fever , brought on by
over taxation of my mental powers ,
and that during te height of the dis
ease I was delirious-as ia generally tho.
case in all fevers. As to my brother
clerks having watched at my bedside ,
to relieve my poor worn oat wife , not
two , but over a dozen have sacrificed
their rest for me , and I take 'this op
portunity to return them my heart
felt thanks for their kindness , Hoping
they may never bo In need of my ser
vices under similar circumstances , but
shsuld any of them ever require agood ,
faithful nune , I shall be but too happy
to reciprocate the kindness shown me.

THE "EVEK GLOEIOUS. "
How it is to be Celebrated by
the People of Omaha.
As was announced in THE BEE a
few days ago the coming Fourth oi
July will be celebrated in a proper
spirit by our citizens , and with all
the enthusiasm and patriotism it wil ]
be possible to excite. A number ol
gentlemen belonging to the Driving
Park association have taken hold of
the matter in a business like way , and
propose to present attractions on thai
day and possibly the day following
that will draw large crowds from
outside , aa well as necessitate the at
tendance of eveiy resident of the city
able to ge.
A meeting of the members ot the
Driving Park association was held yea-
torday in Mayor Boyd'a office. II
waa resolved that a celebration super
ior to any previous one should bo held ,
with such attractions as chariot racing ,
trotting , balloon ascension , and a base
ball game. Chairman Boyd appointed
Messrs. Chris. Hartman , D. T. Mount
and George Canfield as a committee
of general arrangements. It waa alsc
decided that from two to four thou
sand dollars in purses were to be of
fered , for the trotting and other con-
teats , and that reduced rates on the
railroad would probably bo obtained.
After adjournment of the meeting
-committee on general arrange
menta held an informal meeting
They conferred with J. H. Pierce ot
the question of a balloon ascension
and talked over matters partainlng tc
the celebration. A meeting ia to be
held within a day or so , when a defin
lie programme will bo decided upon
"LO'S" EIGHT TO VOTE.
Important Decision of TJ. S

Judges McCrary and Dundy , of the
United States court , have just ren
dered a decision in an important case
affecting the right of an Indian tc
vote.

John Elk la an Omaha Indian , re
siding in the Fifth ward of this city
Previous to the last national election
Elk presented himself before Charle
Wllklna , registrar of the ward , fo
registry. Mr. Wilkina declined tc
take bis name. On election da ;
Elk appeared at the polla anc
tried to swear in his vote , but was re
fused permission. Since Judge Dun
dy's decision in the Standing Boat
case it has been evident that Indian
suffrage must next come into courts ,
and Messrs. Poppleton and'Webster ,
who were counsel for Standing Bear ,
conaented to toke the case of Elk into
the courts , and to that end broughl
suit for Elk against Mr. Wilkina for
damsg2s to the amount of $5000. The
case waa submitted on proof to
Judge McCreary and Dandy ,
on demurrer to plaintiffs petition ,
at the January term of the United
States court at Lincoln , and their de
cision has now been received by Col.
Watson B. Smith , clerk of the court.
The demurrer is sustained , but the
plaintiff waa allowed to amend his pe
tition , If he saw fit to do so. E. W.
Slmeral , Esq. , of this city , and
United States District Attorney G.
M. Lambertson , of Lincoln , appeared
for the defendant. No opinions were
filed with the decision , though there
is a general wish that the judge shall
do so.
