The rainstorm which broke over Omaha
about midnight Thursday extended over this
entire section , rain boliig reported yesterday
tnornlng from signal service stations In all
directions from Omaha in all parts of the
Mississippi and Missouri valleys. At none of
the points so ' .oportlng , however , did the
rainfall seem to bo abnormally heavy.
The rainfall at Omaha was much heavier
than nt any station of the signal service in
this vicinity. The rain Thursday night lusted
but n few hours and ouly llvo-hundroths of an
inch of water foil. At 7 o'clock yesterday

tated in n given time. From 10:30 : until noon

usual volume , accompanied by frequent nnd
vivid flashes of lightning quickly followed
by sharp clans of thunder.
At noon there was n slight lull In the
etoudy fall and n measurement of
the amount In the gauge at the
signal survico nation showed that
1.04 Inches had fallen since 7 o'clock. Includ
ing this amount there were 4.11 Inches of
rainfall In Omaha from Wednesday evening
until noon yesterday , with ngood prospect for
nnothor Inch or two.
Just before noon a cloudburst occurred at
Milliard , the water covering the Union Pncillo
tracks at that point to the depth of a foot.
Ko information was received ns to the
amount of damage done by the storm , but It
Is feared Hint the damage to crops in that
Vicinity Is very groat. Owing to the depth
of the wntor It could not be learned whether
4 f ho railroad tracks were seriously damaged
4i or not , although nil tmlUo was suspended.
i According to reports received nt Union
acilla headquarters , the rlvor at Omaha
was I'J foot and 10 inches nbovo low wntor
mark yesterday mornluc , having risen .six
inches In twenty-four hours. Eighteen foot
noovo low water mark U considered the dan

overflowed tholr bunks , nnd the witter Is up
over thu tracks of the railroad. It Is esti
mated that fourteen Inches of rain fell in that
ouctlon Wednesday night. Assistant Super
intendent Sutherland Is on the scene , but the
vrator is so high that the exact extent of thu
damage cannot be ascertained ,
Thu H , and M , has n largo force of men
under Superintendent Illgnoll at the scon a of
the York disaster , and it Is thought the track
will bo repaired within a few dnvs. For tbo
present trains for the lllack Hills nro run
ning via Hastings and Aurora.
The Northwestern people have pone to

in northwestern Iowa. Largo gnngs of men

will bo Impossible to make schedule tlmo , but
with no further accidents trains will bo
pushed ns fast prudence dictates.
Several small washouts were reported yes
terday afternoon in the vicinity of Columbus
on the Union Pacific. Some of the small
creeks in that section overflowed nnd washed
out the approaches to the brldgo , but the
damapo wns easily repaired.
The old main line of the B. & M. near
South Bond was covered with water and is
very soft. This track Is used oaly for freight
trains , however , the now main line bolng in

The City Flooded.
That section of the ulty in the vicinity of
Twenty-fourth nnd Parker streets was com
pletely Inundated , the streets bolng covered
with water to a depth of about two foot , nnd
all the houses and collars in the neighbor
hood boiug filled with the muddy lluid. Sec
tions of sidewalks were floating around
promiscuously and were mudo to do service
as rafts In liberating the imprisoned
occupants from their dwellings. The gatht
orlng of the water wns caused by the block
ing up of the sewers In that section
under the tremendous flow of water nnd all
efforts to open the sewers scorned fruitless ,
ns the water continued to run In from nil
directions. That particular point is much
lower than the surrounding country and
formed a basin for the collection of the rain
fall from the entire neighborhood.
On Twentieth street for several blocks on
either sldo of Clar street the street nnd ad
jacent property was flooded , Twentieth
street presenting the appearance of n lako.
The water took complete possession of
Twenty-fourth street between Burdotto and
Grace and the oleotrlc can were unublo to
pass through it. The rise came quite sud
denly and three cars were cauuht uorth of
the impassable flood. The passengers were
obliged to transfer as best they could , walk
ing a couple of blocks around to make
connections with the curs on the north end.
A boot nnd shoo store nnd several dwelling
houses at that point on Twenty-fourth were
flooded. The water , nt the hour of going to
press was three foot deep in the street nnd
up to the windows in the boimvi.
In the vicinity of Plorco and Center streets
on South Thirteenth nnd South Twentieth
streets bajoinents nnd collars were lloouod
and several families were driven out of their
hoiuos to seek dryer quarters.
The bottoms north und east of thu Union
Pacific shops ware transformed into n lake.
Switch tracks A-oro covered , lumber and
coal yards were flooded , nnd the water rolled
several foot deep through and nrtnn-l the
shanties of numerous squatters In that vicin
ity. So far as learned there were no fatali
ties , but ninny were subjected to great Incon-
vnrdonro and damage from destruction to
household goods.
During the heavy electrical disturbance the
cars on all the motor lines stopped running ,
und the trollovs were pulled down to avoid
nny possible damage from the overcharging
of the wires. No damage was done to the
machinery In any of the power houses.
No. 1 hose company wont to the scene of
the tlood on North Twenty-fourth street nnd
rendered all the assistance possible. North
Omaha crcfk , which has Its origin near the
northwest part oC thu city nnd which for
merly meandered along what is now Twenty-
tilth street , broke loose and poured lu muddy
torrents over the country south of Lake
street , adding to the flood , which increased
at u rapid rate.
H was 0UO : o'clock yesterday nftornoou
before the itroot railway company could
resume lu Interrupted car service on North
Twenty-fourth street , anil an hour later the
street had resumed its normal condition ,
barring the deposit of a heavy coating of
mud , which had boon washed down from tba
uupavod streets ou the west. Many of the o
streets were moro or loss gullied , and others
wore washed clean of nil loose dirt , leaving
thorn as hard us an oriental threshing lloor.
The water made its escnpo through the storm
sewers , und It was found that the flood was
not caused by the stoppage of the sewer
proper , but of the branches between
certain catch basins nnd the main
conduit , leaving about half the number to do
the work intended for nil. This would have
made practically no dltforonca in an ordinary
heavy ruin , but yesterday's down-pour was
llttlo short of n cloud burst , and it lasted for
an unusual length of rimo.
It was apparent shortly after the rain
began that tbo street at that point would bo
flooded , nnd the occupants of the houses in
that immediate vicinity , that were but llttlo
If any nbovo grade , at once Mjognn removing
their furniture from the lower to the second
floor , and the result proved the wlsdon of
tholr course , while the rapidity with which
the water rose showed that they acted none
too soon.
The section where the water invaded the
lower floors of the residences was bounded
by Grnco , Burdotto , Twenty-second nnd
Twenty-fourth streets , but cellars were Inun-
dutod on the west side of Twenty-fourth
street nnd down Twenty-second street for
half a block south of Clark. The actual damage -
ago to residents of tbo flooded district will
not bo very heavy , but the Inconvenience
they will exporlonco before everything is
dried out and restored to Its former condition
will bo by no means inconsidorablo.
The flood will , however , entail some little
expense upon the city.
The "Iowa bottoms. " near Twentieth nnd
Popploton avenues were flooded , and in some
of the hollows only the chlmnoy.s of the mis
erable hovels located there could bo scon
nbo\ the water. Tbo stream imurod In tor
rent through Wukotlold's luinbo'r yard nnd
Contnnt & Squires' coal and wood ynrd ,
washing out n largo quantity of lumber and
cord wood to bo scattered over the bottoms
The basement of John B. Furny's resi
dence at Twenty-fourth nnd So ward streets
was flooded to the depth of four foot. The
water came In while the family was at din
ner nnd rose so rapidly that tnoy had barely
tlmo to escape.
Done to Streets.
The water on the paving nt the intersec
tion of Twenty-fourth nnd Patrick nvonuo
was four feet deep , and nlong Grace street
from Twenty-second to Twenty-fourth the
water reached tuo hubs of passing wagons.
In many places thu paving was washed
loose and travel was thereby rendered doubly
dangerous. It was apparent that tbo water
had washed moro or less under the founda
tion of the asphalt paving on Twenty-fourth
street , and there will bo sovorul brouks to bo
repaired.
Councilman Conway drove over the ground
late in the afternoon , sizing up the situation
in general nnd Incidentally estimating thu
number of yards of plunk sidewalk that had
floated away.
On Seventh avenue anu South Thirty-first
street several hundred foot of curb that was
hot this spring was washed out. In both lo
calities the damugo to the grudo will bo con
siderable.
Spaldlng street has suffered n great
amount of damage. From Twonty-tlfth to
Thirty-first the p'avumont was flooded from
curb to curb , and In many places thu water
flowed over It to a depth of six feet , flooding
the house * on either stdo. At ttta Intersec
tion of Twouty-sovonth street the cedar
pavement raised up und floated away.
On North Thirtieth street the water swept
over the p.womont nnd in a number of places
the grade was washed out , carrying with it
the curb tind brick pavement.
At Twentieth street and Boulevard n
large section of the cedar block pavement ,
was raised up and for several hours floated
around in the se.v of wator.
At Thlrty-tlfth nnd Cuming streets the
curu on the uorth side of Cuinlni ; street
dropped down nnd a largo section of the
pavement went Into tbo ditch.
On Furnam strjot , in the vicinity of Thirty-
first street , Marge section of the twenty
foot till washed away , taking with it the
block pavement utmost to the car tracks ,
On alnut Hill the newly made grade
washed away ut every street Intersection ,
flooding basements nud front yards.
At Thirteenth and Blalne a largo section
of Thirteenth street was swept away , the
water pouring through the opening , cut ry lug
down lumber und outhouses.
The fill at Sixth and Cedar streets U b < dly
washed and houses In the vicinity flooded.
At Eltivouth and Cedar street there Is an
other bad washout , some tlvo hundred yards
of Eleventh street having boon carried away.
In the vicinity of Thirteenth nnd Mason
streets there is a bad washout. At this
point the wntor undermined the stone pave
ment and a section of It dropped into the
ditch.
In North Omaha , along Sherman avenue
nbovo the Missouri Pacific tracks , the whole
country was n sea of water. Many of the
houses were flooded. The people sought
safety in the second story of their buildings ,
or moved to the Inghor lands.
Shortly after 3 o'clock the lightning got In
Us work on the house of II. Speiglo , at
Lathropstreot and Sherman avenue. The
bolt struck the chimney on the roar end of
the house nnd passed into the roof. There It
dislocated a couple of square yards of shin
gles , after which it toyed with the furniture
in the chambers. A bedstead and a bureau
were knocked into smlthoroons. Not content
with this , the lightning wont down stairs ,
ripped up n largo section of the floor and
passed down into the collar , where it.spont
its force in breaking up half a dozen Jars of
canned fruit. Fortunately nil the members
of the family were in the front part of the
house , and though while somewhat shaken
up , were not injured.
Mrs. IJndcrliolin's Dilemma.
Mrs. Linderholm , a woman residing near
Twenty-fourth and Patrlrk nvenuo on the
bank of what was the old North Omaha
crook , and who was confined to her bed by
illness , hud to bo taken from her abode by
tbo police who crowded their way to
the spot in the patrol waeon.
Several persons attempted to roach her in
buggies out were unable to do so. She was
removed to a residence near by that was out
of reach of the water. The house from
which she was taken Is several foot below
grade nnd there was nearly llvo foot of water
around It when the invalid wns taken out.

It Is the intention of the Interstate Town-

Francis Grablo of Omaha , who is Interested
with Mr. Huttorworth in this enterprise , Is
hero consulting with him on the subject.
"During his visit to Nebraska , " said Mr.
Grablo , "Mr. Uuttcrworth was very much
imprusbod with the need of trees and has on-
torud heartily into a plan for .supplying them.
Ho has presented the mutter to the depart
ment of agriculture and m tlui work ho
will have the co-operation of that
department and the invaluable advantage of
the knowledge of its exports. Very fre
quently failure in setting out trees is duo to a
luck of practical knowledge rather than to
any fault of thn trees themselves or luck of
proper qualities In soil and cluimto. In this

trees supplied which uro specially adapted to
this roirlor. . Those will include not ouly
