The damage caused by the overflowing
of Indian creek Monday night Is widespread
nnd on every hand yesterday morning evi
dences of the havoc wrought by the tre
mendous rush of water were to bo seen ,
The turbulent little stream has been on
many a rampage In Ita time , but Monday
night's overflow was the first time that the
\vatcr continued to pour over Its banks for
such a length of ttmo. The creek com
menced rising about 11 o'clock , and fifteen
minutes later the water was out over the
banks at the Northwestern yards. By mid
night It was flowing over the bridges at
Seventh , Eighth , Ninth and Tenth streets ,
the water rushing down Broadway like n
mill race and transforming the streets nnd
avenues adjacent to the main thoroughfare
of the city Into ono vast lake. The flood
was at Its highest about 1:30 o'clock yester
day morning , but It was past 2 o'clock before -
fore It commenced to recede.
The vast volume of water caused by the
heavy rainfall that came rushing down the
creek had to find an outlet somewhere and
It found It In the streets and avenues lying
north and south of the treacherous llttlo
stream. When day broke yesterday mornIng -
Ing , after the waters had receded , Broadway
from Tenth to Fourteenth streets was one
long vista of mud , thick slimy mud that will
-take several days of hard work to clear
away. All the streets from Seventh to
Twelfth north of Broadway are almost Im
passable owing to the mud , and the cellars
of hundreds of houses on Mynster street
Washington avenue , Seventh , Eighth , Nlntl
and Tenth streets are filed with water , and
In many Instances the foundations have beet
wholly or partly washed out. On the
south side of Mynster there is not a house
that escaped the water and the damage wll
amount to thousands of dollars.
Ccllm-H Full of Wnter.
All the buildings on the north sldo of
Broadway , between Seventh street and the
Northwestern tracks , suffered from the rush
of water. The cellar of every building Is
full of water and In many Instances the
water rushed through the building Itself
The Metropolitan hotel , as usual , suffered
heavily , the water even Invading the parlors
The foundations of many of the buildings
are badly damaged.
At Abe Eagle laundry building , between
Seventh and Eighth streets , the- water flowed
Into the cellar like a mill race and It wa
found impossible yesterday to start the boll
ere. A gang of men were pumping out th
water aU day yesterday. The lack of pumps
was severely felt and It will be several day
before the water can be gotten out of the
cellars of the stores along Broadway.
The west side of the foundation wall of th
three-etory Schlltz building , near the - Northwestern
western , was washed out and the foundation
of the saloon at the corner of Tenth and
Broadway was washed away. These two
buildings were the worst damaged on th
south side of Broadway.
The water flowed into the basement nt th
Dohany theater and much damage was done
to the property stored there.
A barn belonging to the Pfelffer estate nn (
occupied by James Peterson , a teamster , col
lapsed Just ns the flood was receding , abou
3 o'clock yesterday morning , and fell into th
creek. Four horses went down with , the
wrecknge. Alt four of the animals were
more or less injured , one of them so that 1
wlU probably have to be killed. Peterson
was badly cut about the feet while attempt
ing to rescue his horsea , he having Jumped
out of bed In his bare feet.
The sand yard of Contractor Wlckham
on North Eighth street , was badly washet
and some hundred loads of sand were carried
down the street.
An Immense amount of debris vros carrlet
down by the flood and several large trees
were found Jammed against the North Eighth
street bridge. It Is thought they formed
part of a bridge some miles east of town.
While the flood was nt Its height a pig
weighing 100 pounds was carried by the
waters along Mynster street. The porker
finally struck tbo curb and managed to climb
onto dry land. Where It came from was nol
known , but It is supposed that It was washec
down from below the city Hmlts somewhere.
Mosquito creek , ns a result of the heavy
rain Monday , overflowed Its banks in n num
ber of places and the water spread over the
adjoining farms. It Is feared that some of
'the ' corn will bo seriously damaged.

The- report of the commercial committee
for the month of July as submitted to the
city council shows that Council Bluffs Is enJoying -
Joying a reason of unusual prosperity and
that the prospects for the future are Just
as encouraging. The committee , while not
making much noise about It , keeps steadily
nt work for the Interests of the city and
the work that it has done Is already be
ginning to bear fruit. The report In part
follows :
At this , the vacation season of the year ,
there nro few , If any. projects to attract
attention. The Improvements started In the
spring are usually nearlng completion and
the business men off on their summer tours
nro content to lot these contemplated for
autumn remain until their return. Never
theless , contractors have not been Idfe. A
number of large warehouses nre badly
needed for Implement firms and nn effort
is being made to get one or more of these
under way. We ought not to lay so much
stress upon the Influx of outsldo capital to
make our Improvements. There Is an abund
ance of money In Council Bluffs for such
purposes. Its steady use will Increase our
own resources and also Induce the Invest
ment of eastern and outsldo capital , which
so many hope for. Wo should make every ef
fort to Induce the growth of our city west
ward. The near coming of the ininols Cen
tral will make the vicinity of that com
pany's depot and the Northwcstern's one of
the most desirable business centers any
where to be found. The neat station of
the Terminal railway at Broadway and Ninth
street la another Incentive for the location
of business establishments on n largo scale
In that portion of the city. The handsome
passenger station of the Rock Island , nearIng -
Ing completion , will heM the houses al
ready located on Main street , but It would
bo better for the railroads and the ware
house men If the new establishments could
be erected In n more convenient location to
Broadway nnd the motor line , to catch the
business coming In from Nebraska , the west
and the north.
Council Blurts v.111 never bo appreciated
for the city It Is untir Its wholesale and
shipping firms nre more conveniently lo
cated to the principal thoroughfares and de
pots between the east and west.
It Is still a matter of regret that the High
school quealon has not been settled. Cold
weather Is coming apace and our workingmen -
men nro deprived of the disbursement ?
neccssnrlly dependent upon this Improve
ment and so necessary to the maintenance
of their families during the winter season.
The discussion of the Union avenue ques
tion Is retarding Improvements that nre cer
tain to come In the near future If the ave
nue Is occupied or vacated. It Is the uncer
tainty. Your committee hopes the council
will either declare the avenue vacated and
the bridge dangerous , forcing the company
to find some other route to and from the
transfer , or. Induce the company to pay a
reasonable compensation for the use of the
street. It would be preferable to return the
avenue to Its original purpose as a public
thoroughfare and have afl the railroads
abandon the use of their local passenger
stations and maintain a handsome union
depot at the transfer such n depot as every
wide-awake , progressive city Is now trying
to secure.
Having referred to the presence ot a
sufficiency of money In Council Bluffs , It
may bo of interest to know that our hanks
carry deposits to the extent of nearly $4 ,
500,000 , whereas at this time In 1808 they
amounted to nearly $3,557,000 an inoreas
of nearly $1,000,000 in tweFve months
This Is a sufficient Indication to Justlf >
every feeling of confidence In pushing th <
upgrowth of the city. The sales of rea
estate for the six months Just closed or
$2,182,000 the largest In years. This may
be duplicated- next year with the adven
of the Chicago Great Western and Mln
neapolls & St. Louis railroads coming to th
city through the center ot the county , en
hanclng the value alike of county farm
Tands and city property. It Is unnecessary
to give a resume of the Improvements o
the city slnre last February. They nro
patent to all. Work seems plenty. Ou
business men and manufacturers are doing
well , as the bank deposits show. The rail
roads are full of business and are liberally
disposed. Vacant houses are scarce and a
more modern class Is In demand. These am
necessary at once or toy the tlmo of th
completion of the Illinois Central to house
Its employos with the coming winter.

LiuulTorrt Claim" TlnninRes Arc Due
Attorney John Llndt , who was awardee
possession of the brick building nt 1021
Broadway , erected by the Schlltz Brewing
company on the property formerly owned by
Mra. Pralor , brought euit in the dlstrlc
court yesterday against Llnder & Filter and
W. H. M. Pusey to recover $2,500 damages
Llnder & Filter occupied the building as a
saloon under a lease from the Schlltz Brew
ing company and in August , 1897 , secured
an Injunction restraining Lindt from Inter
fering with their possession. After two years
of litigation Llndt won out In the supreme
court and secured possession of the building
about two months ago , turning out Llnder
& Filter by force. W. H. M. Pusey , the
banker , was surety on Llnder & Filter's
injunction bond.
In addition to the loss sustained by being
kept out of the building by the restraining
order , Llndt claims that the defendants by
using the building for an illegal business
and purposes have grcatfy damaged
Its lite for any legitimate business ,
Ho further alleges that the defendants dur
ing the period they occupied under the re
straining order defaced the walls ; that the
flooring has become worn and rotten , the
stairways -worn and Injured and the building
has become stained and soiled by spilling
Intoxicating liquors upon It. For all this
ho aska the court to award him $2,500 of
the defendants' money.

joly precepts of our religion.
Governor Shaw upheld the republican
