Krcnlo of the
The nctunl rainfall between 10 and 12
o'clock Monday night wa 2.24 Inches , the
heaviest rnln since July 6 , 1898. when 3.56
Inohw fell In not much more than the tlmo
that was occupied by last night's storm.
Notwithstanding the tremendous downpour
the damage In districts that are peculiarly
susceptible to the attack of the .Icracnts
KM IncooBldcrablo as compared with that
which wns caused by the heavy rains In May
nnd July a year ogo. In the northwest part
of the city where sidewalks , outhouses and
everything that was Ioos3 were carried away
bodily lost July and chickens tnd plg
drowned by wholesale , the rain left no sorl-
out results. In several places the water
overflowed and filled the ccllnra of resi
dences , but the effect constated more of In
convenience than financial loss. The only
V > lg washout that has been reported , occurred
nt Thirty-fourth struct and Ames avenue ,
nvhero the torrent that nished down the hill
from the Swedish hoapltal tore out a huga
excavation on the south sldo of A nice avenue
and' converted the eldnwnlKs Into a bridge
tbat hangs over a gulch a dozen feet deep.
A number of other washouts occurred In
various parts of the city , hut they are all
u&ccptlblo of easy restoration. One of the
most serious IB on Thirteenth street just
pouth of Vlnton. Another IB at Twenty-
fourth and Jackson and another on Harney ,
tootwecn Twenty-eighth and Twenty-ninth.
The approaches nt Thirty-seventh nnd Ohio
Btreots are -washed away nnd also nt Thir
tieth and Lake.
The rnln played havoc with the south sldo
of the lagoon at the exposition grounds.
About fifty feet In front of the Colonial
building caved in , and the waiter In the
lagoon will have to bo lowered about a foot
before the damage can bo repaired. A little
damage was nlso done on the Bin It tract ,
but otherwise the rain did not do much
harm.
Reports received by the county authori
ties Indicate that the damage to the coun
try roads and bridges Is trifling as com
pared to that which resulted from the early
nprlng rnlns. A telephone report stated
that the bridge over Mill creek north of
Florence Is washed away , but this Is the
only Instance of serious loss. The task of
thoroughly overhauling and repairing nil
the bridges In the county had Just been
completed and the structures were In ex
cellent condition to resist the floods.
Krrnkn of the
The electric accompaniment to the storm
Indulged In a number of curious freaks. Ono
of them was to charge nn Iron trolley pole
that stands at Sherman avenue and Clark
street with the fluid. The pole stands
close to the entrance to the grounds of the
Omaha Brewing association , nnd when some
of the employes stopped to talk at the gn'c '
yesterday morning one of them happened to
place hla hand on the pole. He let out a yell
that would have done credit to a Sioux war
rior and his companions proceeded to have
fun with him. They Insisted that It was
bis Imagination , because the electric current
could not possibly pass through the Insulator
tbat connects the wlro to the pole , and one
of them grasped the polo -with both hands
'
in order to substantiate hla argument. He
1was surprised and convinced at the same In-
etant nnd the street railway repair -wagon
1 was sent for to locate the trouble ,
j Passengers on a motor train that left
' South Omaha about 9 o'clock In the evening
I also had an exciting experience with the
I electric fluid. A bolt of lightning hit the
snotor , fllod | the atmosphere with blinding
I refulgence and scared the passengers almost
I out of their wits. Fortunately the force of
! the bolt was carried oft Into the rails and
no ono was seriously Injured.
I In the IIMTU Tovru District.
| In the down town district when the storm
rwas at KB merriest torrents of water liter
ally filled the streets from curb to curb ,
rushing down from the higher points above
Sixteenth street with the rapidity of mlll-
rncfs. About 10:30 : o'clock there was a lull
In the storm and hundreds of people who
bad 'been ' caught down town rushed to the
car lines to get homo before another shower.
At Sixteenth nnd Fnrnam Btreots half a hun
dred people stood under the shelter of the
doorways and waited for street cars that re
fused to appear. Then the rain came again
and drove some of them to shelter. Others
waited desperately for a car , but for thlrty-
flveimlnutcs not a sign of a motor appeared.
Now and then a hack dashed up In response
to a telephone call and hurried off those who
could afford to pay double fare to get homo.
Just after 11 o'clock a solitary motor ran
down from the north , but as It reached Far-
cam street the power dropped off again and
the motor went dead on the crossing. Then
the draggled and sodden pedestrians
who remained gave It up and
utartcd homo on foot , stopping every
few minutes to exchange spirited maledic
tions nt 'the expense of the street railway
company. At every Intersection they wore
confronted by a surging current that com
pelled them to wade , and It nearly swept
them off their feet. Iy ) Uio tlmo they had
traveled n few blocks the rain began to fall
1 OH impotuousry as over , but every ono was
> wet to the ukln by this tlmo and a llttlo
rain anoro or IOBO was not worth consider
ing. Scores of men and women were seen
plodding heavily through the water , and It
was not until after moat of them had com
pleted their dreary tramp homeward tbat
tbo rain ceased to fall and the muddy currents -
rents that obstructed the pavements sub-
eidod.

Agenta Francis of the Ilurllngton , nnd Bu
chanan of the Elkhorn , having left Mondny
night for the purpose of being present. Two
mportant matters nre under ndvlscment of
ho members ot the association. Ono Is con
sideration of the present low second-class
larecnger rates from the Missouri river to
.h.o Pacific coast. The faro nt this time over
all the wcBtcrn roads Is J32.GO , nnd the pns-
flcngcr agents are anxious to arrive at an
agreement by which this rate \\I11 bo ad
vanced to the regular tariff schedule. The
other matter which will engross the attention
ot the mcmbcnj of the association Is the
failure of the Chicago Oreat Western , Wis
consin Central nnd Minneapolis & St. Louis
roads In Joining the Western Passenger as
sociation an has been virtually promised and ,
consequently , expected. Mention was made
tow dnya ngo thnt theo roods , by remainIng -
Ing outside the nefioclatlon , were shattering
rates between Chicago nnd St. Pnul nnd
western points , nnd by eo doing interfering
argely with the passenger tradlc of the roads
belonging to the nssoclatlon , which find
themselves unable to cope with the outsldo
lines for this business because of their Ina
bility to lower their rates to conform with
the reductions in effect. Telegraphic ad
vices from Chicago state that the Wisconsin
Central Is hanging back nnd refuses to Join
the association , thus giving the other two
roads an excuse for remaining on the out-
sldo. As a matter of fact , the three out
sldo lines arc well satisfied with the present
Btntus of atfalra , ns they are getting the
bulk ot the business nt n slightly lower rate
Jinn the association lines can make. Never
theless , the Great Western nnd Minneapolis
& St. Louis have announced their willing
ness to Join , provided the Wisconsin Central
will do BO , nnd the Western Passenger asso
ciation nt its present meeting wllf try to

latter road to time.
FREIGHT RATES IN THE WEST
Intcrntnfe Commerce Cniiimlnnlon In
lit Conference tilth llnllrunil
ninmiKcrn In CIilunio.
CHICAGO , Aug. 8. Members of the Intor-
etnto Commerce commission met today with
the executive officers of the railroads west
of Chicago to discuss the condition of freight
rates in the west. The meeting was held
behind closed doors. Commissioner Calhoun
of Illinois was the only member of the com
mission who did not attend the meeting.
The meeting was of more than ordinary in
terest from the fact thnt the traffic man
agers of the various roads argue that to
the action of the Kansas City , Plttsburg &
Gulf road is due the demoralization In rates
In western territory.
It Is asserted that the Gulf road has cut
rates from New York to Missouri river
points via the Gulf of Mexico to a lower
point than those via the direct lines from
New York , and It was argued that the Gulf
road should .bo . brought to time for Ignor
ing the long and short haul clause of the
Interstate commerce act for maintaining
higher rates from gulf ports to Texas points
than to Missouri river points. Hope was
expressed that the commission would find
some way to adjust the matter.
Former President Stllwoll of the Gulf road ,
In an Interview today , said : "Tho policy
of the managers of the Gulf road has been
n justifiable one and will not be changed.
By reason of our circuitous route we can
not compete with the direct all-rail lines at
equal rates and therefore put our tariffs 10
cents below our competitors In this traffic.
Wo have made rates and obtained business
Independent of the combinations that at
tempt to dictate the policy of all lines. "

lease Its mines to the best bidder. He states
that the rumor , which has been repeatedly
denied , is absolutely without foundation and
that no change from present methods is

RARLL'S ' ALASKA EXPERIENCE
Returns from Kotzabno Sound Country ,
1,200 , Miles West of Dawson ,
BELIEVES GOLD DEPOSITS ARE VERY RICH
( Irnniiil So Ktill of Witter ( lint It Mnat
lln Drained Kuril linn Tuo
Clnlmn Will Cin llnek ( n Arc
tic Ueitlon Next Winter ,
George Karll , formerly clerk of the
county court and a well known resident of
Omaha , has returned from Alaska , where ho
wont n llttlo over a year ago to Investigate
the merits of the gold discoveries In the
Kotzobue Sound country , almost 1,200 mile *
west of Dawsou. While he did not wrench
a fortune from the frozen enrth ho brought
back rugged health and the recollection of
an Interesting experience In a region that Is
almost totally unfamiliar to the average
American citizen. He has two claims In
the Clear Creek valley which promise well ,
nnd ho expects to return to Alaska this fall
and make an effort to moro fully develop
them ,
"I would not ndvlse my worst enemy to
take tbo trip I hnve , " said Mr. Karll , "but
I stood It wonderfully well. When I left
Omnha I was full of malarln , nnd mj
health was In euch condition thnt my friends
said I was crazy to attempt such a trip.
Hut I have not had a elck day since I went
away and I come back ns healthy as it Is
possible for a man to be. "
The general features of mining In Alaska
wcro found by Mr. Knrll to bo very similar
to thosa In tbo Klondike. The trip to th < !
place where his claims are located , however ,
Is of a character to daunt any but the most
determined spirits. A long trip by boat up
the Pacific coast nnd thence from the Aleu
tian Islands across to St. Michaels , and even
then the Journey Is just begun. At St.
Michaels a boat was secured and loaded with
a ton or two of supplies and mining tools ,
nnd In company with sevcr-il other plonenrs
Mr. Karll began the jouiney of nearly 909
mllce against the five-mile cunent of the
Yukon. Leaving the Yukon , the party
worked up the Koyukuk river about 350
miles farther , and hero Karll loft the pavty
and branched off with only one companion
on 250-mile sledge journey to Clear Creek.
His claims are located just north of the
Arctic circle and fully 1,500 miles from St.
Michaels. This Is the distance In a direct
tine , , but following the devious windings of
the rivers It is nearly twice that distance.
The difficulty of the trip may be Imagined
when It Is stated that Mr. Karll left Omaha
In June and arrived at the diggings about
the middle of November. He bemin the re
turn trip May 2 and has just reached his
starting point.
lUch Gold DciinNltn nt Ilcilroclt.
In regard to the prospects of the Alaska
mines Mr. Karll says that ho believes the
deposits nro exceedingly rich , but that It
will require considerable capital to reach
tbcm. "Tho prospects on the surface Indi
cate conclusively that there nro vlch deposits
of gold at bedrock , but the ground Is BO
full of water that wo found it Impossible
to reach them until the gulch Is drained.
This Is feasible , as there Is a fall of eight
feet to the mile. There wore only n dozen
people in the Clear Creek region when wo
got there , but rumors of n rich strike
brought prospectors from all directions , and
there was quite a camp during the winter.
Wo had to thaw out the ground before we
could dig , and then the water pr ventcl us
from reaching -the paying deposits. When I
came away roost of the minors had left In
order to raise capital to drain the valley ,
and when I go back next winter I expect
to make A winning. I huvo two claims of
twenty acres each , and they are situated
above most of the other claims , so when they
drain their claims they will naturally draw
the water away from mine. "
The temperature nt n i olnt far above the
C6th parallel was something extraordinary ,
but JJr. Koirll declares that while the mer
cury ranged from 35 to 65 degrees below zero
he felt no- moro Inconvenience than ho did
In Omaha at 10 degrees below. The bear and
caribou are not to bo found during the cold
season , but the waters are full of Hah. and
by going up Into t ! > o mount Ina the miners
can always replenish their larder with white
grouse. There was nothing exciting or sen
sational in the long winter. It was merely
a case of hard work.
Fired Noble of Ulalr died In Januiry in
Kuril's cabin , and ho helped to bury him in
a manner becoming an American citizen A
fence was erected around the grave and a
rough slab at the hcaj bore an arpropr-tio
innsorlptlon with the emblems of the stxrtl
societies of which Noble was a meml.er.
Mr. ICarll took n photograph of the * > rot ,
and will have the negative developed and
sent to the dead miner's family to 'iow that
ho won zmt uncarcd for.
The most bulky souvenir that Mr. Karll
brought bock Is a magnificent fossil speci
men. It Is ono of the vertebrae of a mas
todon almost perfectly preserved , nnd ns big
ns a half bushel measure. Ho proposes to
donate It to the city of Omaha to be Added
to the collection of curlem In the public
library.
SlllJ IMlUFnilS WAT nil TO I.AM ) .
Corn HroloTlth , the I'niiiotm Swimmer ,
Vlnltn Omnliii.
Cora Beckwlth , the woman who Is distin
guished n the champion swimmer ot the
world the ono who startled the world a
few years ngo by accomplishing n feat mar
velous nnd wonderful by remaining In the
water for forty days , ten hours each day-
Is In the city , stopping at the Mlllard. Miss
Beckwlth Is as Interesting ft young woman
as she Is famous. For years , since she was
a child , she hns almost made her homo In
the water ; she prefers the billowy waves
nnd the plncld wntcrs to the hard , unyield
ing earth , and her peculiar attachment
seems to agree with her. She Is n hand
some woman , whoso regular features are
set oft to charming advantage by n pair of
bright , vivacious black eyes , nnd whose
{ face Is more often relaxed In n fetching
I smile than with the serious expression It
| sometimes assumes , for Instance , when her
I little Gcrmnn poodles , two of which she hns ,
1 nro In trouble. Ono would naturally think
that the life she has led In the waters would
I rather have been trying upon her constitu
tion , and her visitors always expect to flnd
1 a slight , small woman. On the contrary
i Miss Beckwlth , while possessing n handsome -
| some figure , Is Inclined to bo stout. She
explains this by saying , "Why , the water
makes ono stout. It Is fattening. It hns
been demonstrated by physicians thnt a
peron who drinks n. quart of water gains
twclvp pounds In weight , provided ho
weighs himself Immediately after drinking.
From this you can see that I , who live In
the witter almost , would naturally be strong
nnd stout. "
To these who prldo themselves as swim
mers and moro especially to those who ,
1 having tried have Ignomlnlously failed In
their attempts to keep above water , the ac
complishments of Miss Beckwlth In the
water are wonderful. She speaks of
some of -wonderful things that she has
done In a matter-of-fact way and in reply
to a question said : "How do I endure It ?
Well , really , I don't know. I was almost
the same as iborn In the water. My father
was master of the royal equarlum at West
minster and when I was nothing moro than
a baby ho used to toss me over the railing.
I soon learned the art so that I could swim
about like a little animal , until It became
n second nature to me. And then , I some
times think that maybe It was a special
gift , like writing poetry and singing songs. "
Miss Beckwlth first came Into prominence
in 1SS3 when she swam across the English
channel from Dover , England , to Calais ,
France. The channel at this point Is the
narrowest , being twenty-one miles In width.
It took nineteen hours and forty minutes for
the accomplishment of the feat. Speaking
of it , Miss Beckwlth said : "Before I at
tempted to cross the channel I had become
acquainted with Captain Webb , the cele
brated swimmer , who , poor dear man , lost
his life while attempting to swim down the
falls at Niagara. He had s-wam the chan
nel , and I was anxious to do the same
thing , being conceited enough then as I am
now to think that a. woman can do nny-
thing that a man can. I was in training
for three months and when the event came
off Captain Webb swam with me. Several
times I was on the point of giving It up ,
but he encouraged TOO and urged mo on.
When It was finished I was completely ex
hausted , as you can Imagine , and the ef
fects of the saltwater made me stone blind
for two months. "
( As soon as Miss Beckwlth was nfblo she
came to Amerlca and accepted an engage
ment with Barnum's circus , giving her first
exhibition In this country at Madison Square
garden in 1884. Frequently she has come
into public attention because of her wonder
ful achievements In the water. It was In
Chicago that she gave her unprecedented
exhibition of endurance by floating In the
water for ten hours each day for forty days.
( Miss Becfcwlth Is now enjoying n few
days' rest. She came here from Sandusky ,
Ohio , -where she has been for several weeks
entertaining the Bummer guests at Cedar
Point , on Lake Erie , by diving off the boats.

CnpUol Avenue.
A big commotion was caused In the vi
cinity of Thirteenth street and Capitol
nvenuo late Mondny afternoon by a man
dressed In white trousers and a blue coat
nnd who had the appearance of being , a
dandy from the Hawaiian Islands. It seems
that ho had accumulated moro of a "sosh"
than ho could conveniently carry nnd wns
mnklg life miserable for the women In the
neighborhood.
After having been ncnrly frightened to
death because of his queer actions , a wo
man telephoned to the police elation and
soni9 ° lflcers were sent to gather him In.
Ho resisted to his fullest extent and the
officers found It n dlfllcult matter to get
him down to the city jail.
After ho was Incarcerated ho began to
grow wilder nnd wilder and ho threatened
to get out nnd kill the whole police force.
Ho became so violent thnt ho had to bo
chained to the bars of the cage where ho
vented his rage In broken English and In
the liquid tones of his own Hawaii.
Ho gave the name of Wlllnra Lea when
arraigned In the police court yesterday
nnd pleaded guilty to being drunk. Ho sald ,
ho was n Hawaiian nnd was employed at
the Hniwalan village at the exposition. The
judge looked with a lenient eye upon his
shortcomings and told him ho might go his
way In peace.
