FLORENCE DAM HOLDS.
, A half a hundred fishermen were In the
lako-to the south of this dlko all day. Thoj
were armed with nets , some of them 1m
provlsed out of old sacks and barrel hoops
They fished about In the water for the flnnj
visitors. A considerable number of flab hai
been carried into tbo lake , and the fisher
nien , In the big majority of cases , went uwa ;
with respectable strings.
Florence lake has also risen In some de
grue , but the dam which separates It fron :

is holding firm. No chances were taken
however , and all the day men were engaged
In the worth of further strengthening It
The stream from the west cud of the lake it
still flowing by the ice houses to the nortti
and Is pouring into Cut Oft , The houses arc
located on a narrow Island , only a few feel
from the water , both to the north and to tht
eouth. They are not considered in great
danger.
The water to the west of Florence lake , ex
tending along the eastern bounds of North
Omnlm and to the north. Is still as high as
qvcr , apparently , although It la said to have
fallen about an Inch. The houses from
Which the occupants were driven three days
ago are still deep In water.
The Inflow of tbo river at the southeastern
Corner of tlio Island , where HIP big bridge
crosses the river , Increased Thursday night ,
The bridge Itself Is cut off by a still greater
mass of water from the drj > land. The only
approach Is on the raised railroad tracks.
Between the hrldgo nnd the Columbia dis
tillery and tbo land to the west there seems
to , bo almost a quarter of a mile of water , In
wmio cases a dozen feet deep. This water
has extended almost up to the barns of the
Cast Oiuaha Street Railway company.

ehbro of the Island us far south as Nicholas

( Jnicrs , however , nnd have become nccus-
umcd to the MlEosurl's vagaries. They have
BtifTorcil no Inconvenience , as their houses
BVo high. The water fills their yards , but
they have had foresight enough to place
raised walks of mirth or plank from their
'door : ! to the higher places ,
The condition along Omaha's river front Is
r
unchanged , The squatter settlements are
still Etirroumled with water , but the river Is
iiot encouraging. If It Is receding the fal

CLARKS , Neb. , April 1Q. ( Special. ) The
strange light In the heavens made Its ap
pearance for the third time In this county
last night. It was noticed hero first about
four weeks ago. Lost week It appeared
near Central City , twelve miles from here ,
ani was watched by at least a half dozen
people for over an hour. Last night It
was seen at Silver Creek. Tlio Bee corre
spondent and Charles Dee stood on the
depot platform at Silver Creek nnd watched
the light for fully fifteen minutes. It
seemed to be a long way off , traveling
eastward. It was almost straight overhead
when first seen , but disappeared beyoad thu
horizon fifteen minutes later. The same
light was seen at Columbus , thirty miles
away , by James Brcedlove , a Union Pacific
brakeman , who was coming out on the Kear
ney local , which reaches Silver Creek at 0:15 :
p. m. Ho says ho saw the light plainly
at Columbus , also that he saw the same
light several nights ago , but beyond Lex
ington , and that he and some thirty pas
sengers watched It for ten or fifteen min
utes , when it disappeared to the south
ward. He describes It as a largo kite-
shaped light , pretty much the color of an
arc electric light. To these who saw It at
Silver Creek it appeared much redder than
an electric light , more nblazo.

LINCOLN , April 1C. ( Special. ) The trou
ble between the Superintendent nnil the
steward of < the Institute for Fccblo Minded
Youth at Ilentrlce , Instead of being near
settlement , Is growing 'moro bitter. Dr. Fall
has filed distinct charges against Steward
Sheridan and asks for his removal. The ex
act contents of the charges cannot bo
learned , as the Board of 1'ubllo Lands and
Buildings refuses to talk. In the meantime
Mr. Sheridan Is In the city , and lias counter
charges which ho will fllo against the supcr-
Intondant. Ho will charge that Dr. Fall and
others entered Into a conspiracy to ruin his
reputation and secure his dismissal In order
that sonio favorite of theirs might bo ap
pointed to the place. Ho says ho Is confident
his position will bo sustained by the Hoard
of Public Lands and Buildings. In the
meantime the rumor has become current
that both Dr. Fall and Steward Sheridan arc
to bo removed from the Institution , as the
only logical settlement of the difficulty. In
an Interview this evening Sheridan said that
If It were only a private matter 3io would
promptly settle It by giving his tnallgncrs a
drubbing , but ho considered It a nubile mat
ter and ho did not wand to commit any act
that would bring Ills party Into disrepute.

elasticity to the srecml organs of matcrn-

nakes confiircmeht shorter and easier ;
protects the mother from prostrating re-

The surface of the body being chilled , the pores arc closed
and clogged , and impurities which might pass off in
perspiration are forced back into the blood. Besides
this , winter's hearty food , fats and sweets , contribute
more impurities.
This briefly explains the existence of Spring Humors those
unsightly eruptions , painful boils , annoying pimples and
other affections , which make absolutely necessary the use
Hood's Sarsaparilla at this season.
But with some people , impurities in the blood cause very
different symptoms. The kidneys , liver and bowels arc
overmatched in their efforts to relieve the clogged sys
tem. Dizzy headaches , bilious attacks , failure of appetite ,
coated tongue , lame back , indigestion or that tired feeling
arc some of the results.
From the same cause may also come scrofula , neuralgia
