NEED IS FOR MORE WATER
Superior Is a Qaaadary Over Methods
of fecarlag Eaonah of the
l.loald for All.
SUPERIOR. Neb.. March 30. (Special.)
Superior has lately been in quandry over
Ita water supply. The system of water
works In this city has been in about twelve
year. All the water la obtained from a
twenty-live -foot walled well and forced Into
the mains by the direct pressure system.
Last spring the water In the well began to
fall. The supply haa continually been
growing shorter until a month ago tb
council decided that seme action waa needed
at once. An expert wsa called here from
Lincoln and a leal waa almost cloaed with
blm to bdre numerous small wells, connect
them with the pumping and guarantee the
city an additional water aupply of 200,000
gallon a day at a cost of I1.7G0.
Complaint waa made by local partlea that
no chance wae given for bids. Thereupon
the deal waa euapended and blda were ad
vert laed for. These were opened at the
council meeting Friday night A local firm
offered t- dig a twenty-flvs-foot well forty
feet deep, with a one-foot brick wall, tor
$2,600. Thla was rejected as Impracticable.
The Lincoln expert withdrew his offer. Bod
ing that land on which to bore bla wells
could not be obtained. The council then
considered an ordinance which calls for
meters, to be placed on all hydrants. In
stores, hotels, baths, etc., and upon all taps
used for lawn sprinkling purposes, it ia the
belief of some of the council that enough
water la wasted under the blanket rate now
In force to aupply the city. The ordinance
was passed to Ha second reading. Practi
cally everyone In town uses city water and,
there being no wells to apeak of, the water
question la of vital Importance.
DEMAND TAXES AT FULL RATE
Holders of Claims Aaalast C'heyeaae
Coaaty Objeet to One-Third
Valae Assesameat.
SIDNEY. Neb.. March 80. (Special.)
Oberfelder A Co., by their attorneys, filed
a petition in the district court asking for
peremptory writ of mandamus compell
ing ' the seventeen orecinct assessors to
aasess real eatate and personal property
In their preelncta at the full value fixed
bv them at their annual meeting. Instead
of at the usual one-third value. District
Judge Grimes waa in the city and ordered
that a bearing en the petition be held April
7v and that the assessors be notified to that
' effect. .
The ostl'lon aeta forth that Oberfelder
Jb CO. are the assignees and owners of 15
claims acalust Chevenne county for serv
ices renderod aa county offlclala, jurors,
witnesses, etc.. for the yesra 1884, 1895 and
189. aggregating about 14.500. The peti
tion allege that these clalma were not
allowed by the commissioners fcr the
reason that there were no funds or levies
upon which warrants could be drawn In
payment thereof, and thsy have refused to
either allow or disallow said clalma. when
have been on tile fdr the last five yeara or
more.
The total assessed valuation of county
property In 1901 waa U.493.794, and If as
sesaed at the regular one-third valuaticn
will, not exceed 11,400,000 la 1902. The peti
tion atates that if V does not exceed that
amount the commissioners will be unable
to levy taxea for paying off outatanding In
debtedness, for the reason that tbey cannot
legally levy more than 15 mills for general
county purposes.

TralTle.
ST. PAUL, March 30. Transcontinental
trsfflc by the northern routes continues to
be blocksded. The Northern Pacific's efforts
to transfer passengers across the lake
formed by the overflowing of the alouglia
near McKenile, N. D., have proven futile
and but little hope is held out for a re
sumption of business in the near future.
Reports from the Great Northern are to
the effect that their transcontinental trains,
which have heretofore been able to get
through with only a slight delay, are now
held up. by floods in the western portion
of North Dakota.
Just where the trouble te haa not been
definitely learned, but telegraphic reports
say that the Mouse river Is out of Its banks
at Mtnot, on that line, and numerous
bridges hsve been swept away. The Red
river ia also at floodtlde at Grand Forks,
N. D., but ao far as reported little dsmage
baa been done there.
Sltnatloa Kstremely Serious,
The eltuation of the Northern Pacific Is
extremely serious. Reports from McKenile
are to the effect that a lake thirty rolhs
long and two mllea wide haa formed and
the tracks are sixteen feet under wster,
or perhaps entirely washed out. Efforts
to transfer passengers across this lske have
not been auccessful.
The wind has been so high and thr -rater
ao rough that much danger has attended
ths attempt to transfer passenger in small
skiffs. A gasoline launch was put Into
aervice yesterday, but even this Isrger
craft waa found Inadequate. It la thouglit
that an entirely new track will have to be
built around thla gap In the road befcye
traffic can once more be carried on.
Passengers eastbound have been held at
Bismarck and no weatbound coast trains
have been started from St. Paul. A train
reached here thla morning bearing a num
ber of passengers who had been- success
fully ferried across the lake at McKenile
and they report the situation there ex
tremely bad.
Fear a. Food Famine.
Aa no freight can be moved westward.
there la some fear that a famine in food
stuffs may result In Bismarck and Its
vicinity, ome of the Northern Psciflc
business has been transferred to the Bur
lington at Billings, Moat., and in that way
it ia hoped to open an avenue of communi
cation with the north coast cities. The
most optimistic of the railroad officials ars
Inclined to believe that it will be at least
ten days before through traffic can be re
established by the regular route.
A dispatch from Bismarck, N. D., re
ceived lata tonight says that railroad offl
dale there hope to have a train through
some time tonight. Paasengerj. mall and
baggage were today conveyed by wagon to
a neck of the temporary lake and there
ferried across with a gasoline launch. It
waa alow work In the teeth of a cold wind
that blew anow and aleet la the face of
the passengers, but many were willing to
brave the discomforts of the elements in
order to end the tedium of waiting.. Ties,
rails, etc., are being rushed to the lake and
a temporary track will be constructed with
as mucn speea as possible..
An Immense amount of : freight Is ac
cumulating at both enda of the washout
and unlets this Is quickly moved a great
lose will be entailed on ths railroad com
pany in addition to that occasioned by ths
delay in traffic.

Bill.
TRENTON. N. J, March 30. Ths dis

Demands.
CINCINNATI. O.. March 30. It waa gen
erally expected that the brewery lockout
at Cincinnati, Covington and Newport would
be formally declared off today, but at a
largely attended meeting of the United
Brewery Workers all the propositions of
the Brewers' exchange were rejected and
resolutions were adopted to press the boy
cott on local beer and "fight the stationery
engineers to a finish."
After President Samuel Gompers of the
American Federation of Labor spent three
days here last week, and decided that the
United Brewery Workmen did not have
Jurisdiction over the engineers and against
one craft locking out another, It waa an
nounced that all would abide by his de
cision, and both sides were proceeding on
the lines lsld down by Gompera tor final
settlement.
Of the 1,500 originally out it waa found
that there were lees than 200 that the
breweries refused to replace on account
of new men that had been employed and
for other reasons. .The membera of the
national executive board of the United
Brewers were present today and recom
mended that the local brewery workers re
ject all propositions, renew the fight on
the engineers and continue the boycott on
local beer till all of the locked-out men
were reinstated. The brewers state that
more than half of their old men are al
ready reinstated and that all of the othera
who are wanted will be at work tomor
row, and that the action taken today was
instigated by those who have refused re
instatement. MORE TROUBLE FOR MINERS
