OLD MISSOURI'S MURKY TIDE , How It Closed Shops and Smelting Works Eight Years Ago. A MINIATURE SEA ON THE PRAIRIE A. Short of AVatcr Extending From Omaha to Council Bluff * , with Industries Paralyzed In Both Towns. Omaha's Flood. . The terrible flood at Johnstown , which is receiving the attention of the cntiro civilized world to-day , tends to recall to mind the great flood which visited Omaha in April , 3S31 , when the Missouri river overflowed its ibanks and the muddy waters trespassed upon the Union Pacific shops , the smelting works nd all property ia the Hats near the banks. Many of the old settlers of this city will remember - > member the havoc caused by the rushing waters in their maddening course carrying destruction everywhere. The railroad track was' ' washed away , the shops liad to bo abandoned m hot haste , and the workmen wcro compelled tollco for eufoty. The danger line was passed by the wild waters on the 20th of April , 1SS1. By B o'clock on that day , the water was upsohigh in the Union Pacific shop that it was impos sible to continue work and the machinery was all stopped. At 8 o'clock the floors were Hooded , and a stream six feet deep whirled Us way through tbo smelting works , fiu that no part of the wanes were aecessablo , .All of tUo outbuildings of the shops and smelting works were flcoply sub merged , and tlio families in the few remaining houses that had uot already boon vacated , precipitately took to flight. En gines were kept busy pulling loaded pud empty curs out of the way to a place of aafoiy on higher grounds , while the various lumber companies doing business near the river wore strenuously endeavoring to save their property. At Council Bluffs , too , the waters were running nil over the bottom lands nnd the track * were Hooded , and the people living there were forced to abandon tholr houwjs und lice to the uplands , where the madden ing rush of waters could not roach thom. At noon , on April 21 , the slgual oftlccrs' measurement showed that the water in the Missouri river at this point was twenty-ono foot and oovon inches above low watermark , nnd was still rising rapidly. By 0 o'clock , next morning , another foot was added to Uiu dcp h of waters , nnd the rise kept increasing. Blacks of lumber wore fall In i ; tlowu and floating away , and men had to stand idle by nnd uu their properly swept oft In the angry current without Doing able to save It. The effect in the steady Increase in the great volume of water was plainly econ , and tlio'cabled , booms aud ilumiconstrubtod for tbo purpose of saving property truvo way under iho proxsuro. Bosldos tlio great dam age to property , the business interests of Oiiialm were very materially affected by the blockade of travel. In many places there ivero big wushouts on the road , whllu In others the tracks were several foot under water mill It was impossible for trains to inovo in ollhcr direction , llrldgoa , too , ware washed nway at varloui points and from thu outside world. Boats were In great domain ! , (10 a day being the price charged for the UBO of a akift , and oven ut that price boats of any description were hard to got. Hut people had to ooiao nnd go nnu the exponbo of skiff him was not considered when it cauio to having to brave the dangers of the many whirlpools and treacherous cur rents hi the rushing rlvor.

Special Sale'of Children's Cloaks , All our Infants' and Misses' Spring Cloaks , 1 to 4 years old , wo place on sale Monday in three lots : Lot No. 1 , $1.50 Infants' Cloaks , 1 , 2 and 3 years old , in Tricots and All Wool Henrietta , handsomely embroid eredfn preenwine and brownMonday at $1.50 ; worth from $3 to 84.50. Lot No. 2 , $2.98 Infants' Cloaks , 2 , 3 and 4 years old , in All Wool Henriet ta , in myrtle , cream , blue and steel ubmergod on this aide of the nver , but it means new floor flooded , additional dwell tigs dislocated and hundreds of families nmdo homeless , at points on the other side , on this side , above and below. "Tho smelting works , shops and every building touched by the muddy tide , are still entirely surrounded. While the body of valor is surely greater the current scorns to > o loss Horco at this point , probably duo to .he flllintr up of the vast lowlands and basins urther down the stream. On this side , vlth the exception of a portion of a bridge ram some small stream , which floated down and lodged ngoinst the Union Pacific shops , tboro is nothing very now to-day , but on the other side of the river there is much -food Jo r observation and plenty chances to become 'ntercsted. Higher and higher the water ias crept until it now touches at ono point .ho base of the bluffs , which Iiang over the city taking that name. It has invaded about me thousand door yards , and has rushed nto about one-fourth us many houses. All of the depots are surrounded by water at various depths. The Northwestern Is -reached i > y moans of boats only , and the others are -no bettor off. All of the hotels nro crowded with nooplo from the flooded district of tbo city and from the incoming trains. "Between the stock yards and the river channel proper it is ono vast sea , with hero and there a F.unlly discernible line of post tops to show .hat underneath Is real estate which , at this time , was valuable enough to fence off. < Uolow and among the side-trucks running south of the transfer depot are n score of cars on their tracks and nearly submerged , while hundreds of others are toppling on the washed out and crooked rails , * the water rcachinc half way up the sides of the cars. Five tracks wore washed away cither entirely or in sections and pres ented a most dilapidated sight. " The waters began to recede on April 27 , after having reached a point twonty-thrca foot ulna Indies above low water mark , hnd the falling at all points be came so rapid that two days later the Union Paciflo und smelting works putagaugof nion to work cleaning up and potting their machinery ready for operation. The lumber companies , too , began llllluc orders , and ( n a few days the waters had receded , the dam ages had been repaired , and everything put on a business appearance once more. Various kinds of entertainments wore got ten up for the benefit of the flood sufferers , just us is now being done for tbo Johnstown sufferers. 13ufwhlie the waters kept rising , people wore wondering what next move the Mis souri would take Into its capricious channel , and the cravcst apprehension was every where manifested , until the rise had reached Its highest point and the fall had begun. It Is bard for these who have never wit nessed a ( load to properly appreciate and realign its horrors ; but oven such a flood as visited Omaha in 1SS1 bears but a faint ro- Bcmblanco to the tornble calamity that visited Johnstown a few days ago. UONKY FOR THIS IiADlUS. Mauve and violet are favorite colors In millinery. BcigO with a shade of pink in it is oi.o of the newest stylish < solors.

White petticoats arc passe for street wear , nstead choose one of black satin edged with black lace or of light shot silk with three pinked ruffles around it. An evening costume recently seen at a Jaris reception was ofshot velvet , apuar- ; ntly of vieux rose and groan , the combina tion matting a dull heliotrope. A pretty fancy seen upon a low , hlack loco gown was straps of flno open work jot , > assed over and under the arm , and seeming o hold the lace folds in place. There is au extensive assortment of cotton tress fabrics for summer wear , including 'zephyrs , Iaghatns , embroidered French organdy muslin , Chambory batistes , lawns and crepons. Thin materials fortiot weaq.'hor are very 'resh ana charming , but very expensive. Tor the most .part tncy are open-work tis sues from India aud cost quite as much as satin or velvet. The most popular Tvrap Just nt present Is ono that partakes of nature of both the ackot and the capo. It 4s a tight fitting bodice ice without alcoves , over which a loose capo roaches to the waist. Among other decorations for airy summer millinery are pnuzo and velvet butterflies sarefully copied from nature , representing , ho most gorgeously colored specimens us well as the common yellow ones. The corsages of these gowns which are intuit ) of the costliest semi-diaphanous anil transparent tissues have crossed surplices on the bosoms in empire style , bolted or pointed waists , ana airy scarfs that cross and tie la easy artistic folds. There are any number of fancy wraps for this season's wear. There arts corsage bodi ces -with deep lace wings. Abbe Gnlaat capes , empire mantles , Louis XV coats , pelerines and pclissses of laoo , and long lace Connomara cloaks , and over so many more. Fashion makers say that the iioxt freak in veils will bo the largo , long , blonde lace ones in use about forty years ago. They were tied around the high crown of the Duu- fttablo bonnet and thrown buck , falling man tle-fashion over the shoulder to a point below - low the waist lino.

Well , you can go In , but I want to warn you , you will bo disappointed. Ttio new governor of Utah was at onetime time a telegraph messenger boy in Pittsburg , a fact which goes far toward confirming the correctness of the Biblical contention that the race is not always to the swift.

"What a line expression that was in the sermon to-day about the boy's being father to the thought , though I don't quite ngreo with it when 1 look at our boys. " "O my dear , you nro quite mistaken.

THE SCOTTISH RITE IN IOWA. A Great Pythian Day In the Bluffs- Bine 1/otlKO Elections Mod ern "Wooil mm end Their Dolncs. Scottish-Rite Mnnonry. The session of the grand ledge of Iowa which has Just closed at Sioux City , drew to that city about twelve hundred of tbo masons of Iowa. Ono of Iho chief features of the session was the contest concerning the Scot tish ntos bodies. There are two of these bodies doing work in Iowa , familiarly distin guished as the Pike und the Gcrneau consis tories. The two have boon \varriug for & long lime , maluly over the question of juris diction , the work being the same. Hereto fore the grand lodge 1ms taken a position of neutrality , affirming that it had no Jurisdic tion over any other degrees except these of the blue lodge. This year an atlempt was made to get the grand ledge to take a baud in the contest and lo declare in .favor of the Pike bodies. Action was urged by the Pike men on the ground that they were the iirst in the flela , and the Ccrneau men had no business to coino into Iowa. The Cernoau men claimed that they were the only legiti mate body , and that the Pike men were squatters on their torn lory. The Oerneau- itos also claimed that whatever differences existed between the Scottish rile bodies should be Bellied outside of the blue lodge , and that master masons could not be Justly called upon to decide upon degrees of which they were supposed to know nothing. Tbo Cernoau bodies in Iowa have crrown so rapidly , and so far outnumber the Pike won tbatlholatterlmd evidently become alarmed , and so sought to use the grand ledge to club Cernoauism. In the contest prominent masons took part , each side having nblo advocates , Some of the Pike men themselves protested against the action of their brethren , nnd insisted that the matter hod no right to be dragged into the lodge , Those who were doing the dragging in , however , evidently had control of the oUlclal' ' machinery of the lodge , and were therefore ut a great advantage. The result was thBt'after a great deal of discus sion , and ijrucii lobbying in the hotel corridors riders , the. desired action was secured , the gr.-jid lodge Adopting the report of the com mittee , dccjaripg In favor of the Pike bodies , but practically leaving the final settlement of the matter Until next year. In Counci ) Biu'ffs the contest was -watched with interest , for hero is established a Cei- neau consistory , which numbers about sev enty of tlio ( ifcst known masonic citizens. They are fifj.lng u.p . an elegant hall , aud are doing flno w'or , ' , Tbo Pike consistory has no body heije , ajud but throe or four of their members live here. " ' > M ; > .

The Patriotic Order -of the Sons of America -was first organized in the city of Philadelphia in 1S47 , nnd spread rapidly through the Atlantic and Middle -states.

Since then its camps have spread until Ihoy cover nearly every state and territory of the union. Its object is the cultivation of patri otism In all its Drnnchc , entirely separate from politics an'd partisan entanglements. Men of every partisan connection are en rolled beneath Its banners. The" or ganization is subdivided intoa national camp , with state and subordinate camps. Tbo subordinate camps may , If they wish , adopt a beneficial feature for sick and deceased members.
