OMAHA GERMANS TO OBSERVE THE EVENT
Vclornnn of tin * Cirriiulti Army AV1I1
( jalhcr Toulnlit to Do Honor to
the Memory of tiie Plrnt
Upon March 22 , 1797 , w s born the most
popular hero worshipped by the present gen-
iratlon of Germans , Kaiser Wllhelm I , the
first emperor of United Germany. Today
Is therefore the centenary anniversary of
that blrlhday and It will be celebrated In
every porllon of the world where Germans
or German defendants live.
Emperor William early distinguished him
self , for he was very prominent In tns cam
paign of 1813-14 , which terminated In the
overthrow of Napoleon and the restoration
of Prussia. Ho was not popular , however ,
on account of his almolutlsm and the people
Old not take kindly to him when he received
the title of prince of Prussia as heir pre
sumptive In 1810. This unpopularity con
tinued up lo the time that he was crowned
Xing of Prussia In 1861. The 111 feeling
was principally due to his continued policy
of maintaining a large standing army.
Tlw effect of this militarism , however , was
felt In the war with Denmark In 1SC4 , when
the army proved to bo able and effective
The king them began to be popular. The
clallon of the people was Increased In 18CG ,
when a number of brilliant victories were
gained under the personal leadership of Ihe
king against Austria and Its allies In 1SG7
the king placed himself at the head of Ihe
newly formed German union. Hla greatest
glory was gained In 1870-71 In the war
wllh Prance. In this conflict his abilities
became so prominent and the enthusiasm
of the people for him so Increase ! that In
1871 he was offered the crown of Germany
by the divided German princes. Ho waa
crowned emperor on January 18.
After the imlon of the Gorman states unJer
William , the emperor found n man dllficult
task confronting him In reconciling the con-
IltUIng Interests. He succeeded In his work
thoroughly , however , and completely welded
the states Into one nation. His ponularlty
constantly Increased , and since hl death
ho has been enthroned as a hero In the
hearts of the German people. Two attempts
were made to assassinate him , but both were
unsuccessful , and ho finally died when he
was moro than ninety jears of age.
TO RE OBSERVED
On account of the reverence In which he
WBS held the hundredth anlversary of th

came and stay with her. Pannle Gentry ,
cchi . Ralnwatei's little daughter by n former
husband , went with her mother. On Sat-
uiday evening Rainwater , who had been
nlono at homo for several days , went over
to the Artman house to spend the night ,
During the evening he went to church with
his joung brother-in-law , Johnny Artman ,
and upon their return , he appeared In good
humor. At bedtime , Rainwater proposed to
joung Artmun that tliej go out and shoat
some dogs that were barking ouUlde. Alt-
man consenting , they took a shotgun and a
revolver ant went out. They had gene but
fifty vards from the house when Rainwater ,
who was walking behind the boy , leveled his
shotgun and shot > oung Artman In the
back. iLeavIng the boy for dead , Rainwater

and went out Into thdoorjard. . There he
encountered Johnnj Artman , whom he had

to the door. Rainwater killed him with
another charge of buckshot , which toro

CHICAGO , March 21. The boiler of the
locomotive which was hauling the Chicago
and Boston special on the Lake Shore &
Michigan Southern railroad blew up th'n
morning , Instantly killing the engineer and
fireman and completely demolishing the en
gine. The dead are :
ALEXANDER PRANKS , engineer , Chi
cago.
EDWARD U. SMITH , fireman , Chicago.
The engineer was hurled 200 feet Into the
air , through a network of telegraph wires
that were stretched along the tracks , and
his right leg torn off. The fireman was
thrown against a cattle car with such force
that nearly every bone In his body was
broken. None of the remainder of the crew
nor any of the passengers were Injured.
The train to which the engine v.as at
tached is ono of the fastest on the Lake
Shore road and leaves the Van Burcn street
depot at 10 30 o'clock In the morning. The
accident occurred about 11 o'clock , as the
train had just pulled out from the Engle-
vood depot , and was running at the rate of
twenty miles an hour.
A peculiar feature of the e\ploslon was the
fact that although the report was so loud
that It was heaid bj icsldeiits a half mile
away and the foreco gieat that the engine
was literally blown to atoms , none of the
passenger * , In theieai part of the train heard
the report and were not aware that anything
unusual had happened until they lookt-d out
after the train had come to a uudden stop.
The tialn dashed along about ISO fest after
the explosion took plate , and although the
atop was quite sudden , none of the pissen-
ers wenj thrown fiom theli beats , and not
jneof the coaches was damaged bj either the
explosion or the sudden stop The
force ot > ho explosion was appar
ently dlicctly upwaid and oulvvmd , ua
parts of the engine were thrown Into the
air 100 feet , and huge pieces ot the boiler ,
weighing several tons , were tested over the
telegraph wires Into a swamp a distance
of 250 feet , while the baggage car , directly
behind the engine , was not damaged In any
w ay.

ATHENS , March 22. It Is rumored hero
that the Greek government has offered to
purchase the Island of Crete , and that a
gentleman known to b closely connected
wllh the palace party at Constantinople vis
ited General Vassos a week ago In Iho gulso
of a lourlat , charged with secret Instructions
on the subject.
Two Greek officers have arrived hero from
the camp of Colonel Vassos. They report
that ho Is amply provided with nil neces
saries. Anolher Greek officer writes accus
ing the Turks of trying to dj namtte the
church at Platltia , when the Greek officers
and Cretan soldiers were attending mass for
Iho dead ,
A Gicck vessel which has returned from

LONDON , March 21. The Athens corrcs-
pontl"iit of the Times uajs a strong gale
Is blowing across tbo Aegean bea , which
will nmko the blockade exceedingly difficult.
It Is reported the admirals purposely re
frained from Intelferlng vvlth vessels which
have recently landed provisions In Crete , one
hav ing discharged the cargo at Akrotlrl al-
mcat under the ejes of the admirals The
necessity of removing the Turkish troops
from the island becomes more and more Im
perative. Absolutely nothing else , continues
the correspondent , will com Into the Cretans
of Europe's sincerity. It may b regarded
as certain that they will even prevent the
departure of the Grtek aimy by force unless
the Turks have gone. Th ° ro is no time to
be lost. It Is Impossible that Greece and
Turkey could long support the armies they
have mobilized. Either may prefer provok
ing a struggle to seeing the troops starve.
The foreign war bhlps have aleady arrived
at Crete and the lultan should be Induced ,
the correspondent saja , to make a voluntary
recall of his troops. Grcec" might then be
willing to recall Colonel Vassos.
U Is reported from Jerusalem that the
Greeks and Arabs In Palestine are greatly
excited by recent events Thousands are ic-
celvlng communications at the mosque of the
holy sepulchre and preparing to take the
field agilnst the Turks In the event of war.
A dlwpatch to the Times from Canea saj-s :
Chief Manoult , at Rodla , represents that the
Insurgents mistook the Austrian war ship
Zebnlca for a Turkish vessel and thus were
misled Into a hostile action The Christians
are very atgry at the proposed landing of the
British troops , for they assume that these
will side with the MobninmedaiiH.
The Athens correspondent of the Chronicle
says that all the Greek newspapers protest
against the blockade and the question Is
raised as la whether Tuiklsh vessels will
bo allowed to cntei Cretan ports. There Is
no confirmation of the rumor that Greek
troops have crrnsed the frontier Into the
Eplrus aide. The Turkish troops there oc
cupy strong position , except on the coast ,
which Is open to sen attack. The hcavj
levies enforced by threats of violence on
Gieek villages In Epirus cause great discon
tent.
'ihe Dally Chronicle dispatch from Canca
hajs the Moslem bej's object to autonomy
because thej fear they will bo compelled to
leave the Island vithout compensation for
their large land Interests , which are heavily
mortgaged to Chrlbtluns. Moslems own
two-thirds of the lands In Crete , but the
whole country la now piactlcally In the
control of the Insurgents. Nobody , con
tinues the report , believes that a seheine
of autonomy such as the powers inopct-e la
lenlly workable. It wouU only berve to ac-
ccMimto existing feuds.
Iho Chronicle b correspondent at Cane i
savs the Italian ofllcerb returned tonight fiom
the camp of Colonel Vassos , In the cent-r
of the Island , and they report that he lieu
declared hU Intention to resist any attempt |
to force the withdrawal of the Greek troops
He said he would himself tear up every coj j
of the autonomy proposition that came bis >
way , and he gave them the Impression that <
ho intended to assume the offensive. '
While allots were being exchanged on
Saturday ut Akrotlrl , between the Turks and
Insurgents , the Turkish frigate in Snda baj
shelled the Insurgent position In full view
of the European llect. Die result of the
shelling Is not known. Some Insurgents at
Akrotlrl are begging for food from the olilpa ,
but the admirals declined to give anything
except medical aid.
Unless the gale abates it will be difficult
to land the foreign troops.
The Athens coriespondent of the Dally
Chronicle denies that King George has of
promised not to bring about an uprising In
Macedonia , and asserts tbat the sultan him
self wanted amicable relations with King
George , asking the tzar to act as mediator
Count Muravleff replied Instantlj "Russia
would never countenance such a perfidious
proposal. " It was then thai Russia urged
Turkey to take hostile measures ,

MONTREAL , Quo. , Marjhj 22. Since the
provisions of the Dtnglcj tariff were an
nounced It has been considerably canvassed
here , and the consensus ol opinion seems to
be that It Is hostile to the Interests of Can
ada. The lumber trade has been mostly to
the front , and there has been a general de
mand for an export duty on saw logs and all
kinds of pulp wood. The Indications are
that the government will accede to this de
mand and that the forthcoming revision of
the tariff will not be so m.ich in the llnal of
lower duties ca was premised before the
elections. Alderman Prefontalne , M. P. , who

YANKTON , B. D. , March 21. ( Special Tele
gram. ) The gorges In the Missouri river al
this pblnt arc still firm. The gorge above
the city can be plainly seen from ths bluffs ,
and la at the foot of what la known as Am-
brcso Island , the largest Island In the Mlo-
sourl. The Ice Is piled about twelve feel
high. The gorge below hcs not j ° l been
located , but la supposed to be In one of the
large bends. The whole northwest Is tied
up generally by the floods , and rallroid
service U badly domorallred. Of the three
roads running In hero the Milwaukee Is the
only ono that has connections wllh eastern
traffic , and It Is compelled to nnko trans
fers at Vermllllon and Sioux City , on account
of washouts. The Nortliwcstsrn runs only
lo Salem and tire Great Northern la
blocked completely at Sioux Palls The last
train from here on that road was last Friday
morning ' , and the train Is reported as bclni ?
held nt Sioux Kails Should the Missouri
gorges prove bad , and the Jim river over
flow , thlo city will be placed In n position
similar to the jear 1881. There will un
doubtedly bo a shortage of sugar and coal In
particulars. The State Hospllal for
the Insane Is reported almost out
of coal now. Should the gorg a
break tonight or tomorrow , and
the Ice eafoly passes the big bends below
Iho danger mark here will bo past with the
Missouri. This Is Ihe time the river usually
breaks here.
VERMILLION , S. D , March 21. ( Special )
The Missouri ro'e about three feet last
night , which caused a like rise In the Ver
mllllon. The Ice Is showing signs of break
ing up In many places , jet holds together
vvlth unusual strength. Old-timers say tlnl
the breakup has been of unusual length this
spring. Teams were crossing the Missouri
until Thursday. There U a complete flood
of water , between this city and Gajvlllo , fif
teen miles to the west , not from the streams
but from the heavy rain of Thursdaj' . All
day yesterday people were flocking to the
city from the bottom , with nil their portable
property and a dozen herds of cattle are
now In safety In the different jards In Ihe
city. The protyects are good for a repetition
of the flood 1881. The fact that the Ice
still remains sound in thu Missouri means
gorges and great destruction when once It
begins to move. Telegraph wires on the
Sioux Falls line were down early yesterdaj
afternoon. Every bridge leading to the cltj
on the Vermllllon river is more or less dim-
aged , and It is feared will not last longer
than tonight. Parties were set lo work to lay
with dynamite to break away the ice from
two of the largest bridges. On the bottom
land , four miles north of the city , the water
Is already from two to six feet deep and la
doing great damage to hay and grain stacks
Reports from. Mitchell , and as far north a
Aberdeen , say prepare for a ten foot rise.
At Huron the Jim liver is two miles wide
No especial damage will be done until the
Ice begins to move , which will not be de-
lajcd long. There are "but two or three
families left on the bottom this morning.
People are making better preparations this
time than they did In the spring of 1S81.
ROCK RAPIDS. la , March 21 ( Special
Telegram. ) The largest part of the Ice has
gene out and the flood water has fallen four
feet this morning from high water mark G
Nearly all the wagon bihlgcs In thu countrj
have been swept out and the railroad brlJges
damaged hundreds of dollars. Trains are
delayed and no mall has arrived for foui
dajs. The new $8.000 bridge has lost ISO
fp't of the east end , only one span remain
ing. Trees eighteen Inches through were cut
off like pipe stems by the ice Telegraph
and telephone wires are down and communi
cation Is entirely cut off.
DES MO1NES. March 21. ( Special Tele
gi im ) The Des Molne * river conlrary to
all expectations and In the face ot the fact
thpt the weather has been cold for tvventj-
four hours , has risen llireo feet since last
night and Is now over sixteen feet above
noimal , and Is still rising. The Port Wayne
Electric company's dcm Is holding the watei
so that In the upper part of the cltj a large
dlstiict Is flooded that but for the dam
would be above high water , and In the event
of a further rise , dvnamlte may be used to
break the dam and let the floods through
About 300 families have been driven out nf
their homes by the water , but aside from
this , the damage thus far ,1s not heavy , as
none of the laiger buildings have been moved nt
by the flooJ. The Chicago Great Western
railroad reports from Cedar Rapids that the
Cedar river Is FO far out of Its banks that
the passenger depot there Is flooded and a
rise of a few Inches moro will make the
crossing of the river by trains Impossible.
At present a box car Is being used for a
depot. Southwest of here , on the same
road , the Skunk river is higher than ever
and trains are piloted over the weak places
In the grade only with the greatest care.
DUBUQUE , la. , March 21 Cooler ! wcalher

that the crcvaeac at Modoc , Ark. , Is con

Kansas , which parted there list evening , and
by dispatches received at Vlcksburg. The

TKo officers of the State of Kansas eny
that the scenes along the snores of the great

break last night at Modoo lowered the water
along the front of Prlar's Point five Inches ,
but will give no relief to kvees and propertj
below the mouth of the Arkansas river , aa
the water from the crevasse will find Its way
back Into the "Pathcrs of Waters" through
the White and Arkansas rlvm , swoiling
those streams far above the danger lino. The
river continues to rise at all points south

The railroad situation at Memphis Is some

the dam. The Ice loosened the stone pil

carried away seventy-five feet of the struc
