SEES END OF REBELLION
Bulgarian Premier Teolarei Tnriey Will
Soon Crush MacndoaiiDi.
SOFIA GOVERNMENT REMAINS NEUTRAL
Insurgents Are Armed with Turkish
Weapons and Organised Ontslde
Ferdinand's Domains, Accord
ing! to tho Minister.
SOFIA. Bulgaria, Aug. 19. Premier Pet
roff has Juat returned from the frontier
where It touches the district of DubnlUa
and takes a somewhat optimistic view of
the situation In Macedonia. He believes
the outbresk will be confined to the village
of Monastlr, where the Turks will prob
ably succeed In suppressing the Insurrec
tion.
When interviewed today he discussed the
condition of affairs frankly and at length.
Regarding the reports that Bulgaria was
responsible for the outbreak he pointed out
that the center of the disturbed area Is
noarly 200 miles from the Bulgarian fron
tier and is separated from it by a country
largely Inhabited by Turks. "Conse
quently," he said. "It is foolish to say that
the movement Is aided by bands from Bui
garia and It is equally unreasonable to
suggest that the Insurgents' ax ma came
from Bulgaria." j
Rebel Qeuaa Froaek Made.
He asserted that as a matter of fact the
guns -t-ed by the Insurrectionists are all
of French manufacture and that most of
them were bought from Turkish officers
and men who, receiving no pay, had re
torted to the sale of their guns and am
munition to cbtaln money. The Insurrec
tion was entirely a national Macedonian
movement organised by the Macedonian
central oommittee, which in Itself was
proof of the ahocklng condition of affairs
due to excesses of Turkish soldiers, who
on the pretext of searching for arms en-
ten d Macedonian villages to plunder and
dertroy..
The situation In the . unhappy village
had teen rendered more desperate by the
refusal of the Turks to permit the unem
ployed to leave tn order to secure work
elsewhere. This goaded the population to
the most desperate measures.
Premier Petroff declared that the Bulga
rian government waa doing Its utmost to
maintain peace.
'Not only Is the frontier carefully guard
ed, to prevent, the crossing of Individual
bands," said he, "but a rigid Inspection
also exists at Interior points, and I am ab
solutely certain that no bands, large or
small, are passing the frontier at this time.
though a few Individuals may, of course,
be crossing.
Bulgaria le Quiescent.
Little excitement or enthusiasm la evi
dent In Bulgaria now, but should a mas.
sacre of Bulgarians occur. " or should the
movement assume alarming proportions,
the population of Bulgaria would naturally
become greatly excited, and while the gov
ernment Is most anxious to maintain
peace. It would of course be forced to con
sider Bulgurlan popular sentiment. Thus
a most critical situation might arise. It
appear now, however, as if the movement
would be confined, notwithstanding the re
ports of Its extension."
M. Petroff says the Turks are pouring
overwhelming forces Into Monastlr, suf
ficient' not only, to suppress the present
rising, but to destroy the entire revolution
ary movement, unless the powers Inter
vene to prevent Turkey from Inking rigor
ous measures..

very high and over Its banks, flooding part
of the lower portion of the town. The
water la rising fast here and much trouble
Is anticipated, aa a few residences will be
In danger providing the water gets much
higher.
This flood will not Interfere with the
Modern Woodmen picnic of August 20, as
It will be held on high ground.
Water Is even higher at Portal and run

that place, while the entire low lands are
covered with about four feet, which will

FAIRBURT. Neb., Aug. 15,-Detalla have
been received here of a cloudburst along
the Nebraska-Kansas lino for about eight
miles. Two clouds apparently met and
for an hour the water fell In sheets. Esti
mates of the downpour are all the way
Lfrom a foot to two feet.
The water swept down Dry branch and
Sliver creek, which are usually dry at
this Mason of the year, taking every
thing before It. More than 1,000 trees were
taken out by the roots and barns, corn
cribs, grain and hay stacks, several droves
of bogs and many horses and cattle were
swept away. Not a bridge remains on
Stiver creek and but one on Dry branch.
The residences were all built on high
ground, which accounts for the fact that
no Uvea were lost, although there were
several narrow escapes. Dead stock and
farm Implements were found lodged In
trees twenty feet from the ground.

The continued rainy and damp weather of

grain in shock. But little threshing has
been done. Much hay was cut early In the
week, but did not get sufficiently cured to
stack. It will be but poor hay at beat,
even If not spoiled. Although much grain
waa lost last year by being left to thresh
from shocks the same tiring was done this

KANSAS CITT. Mo.. Aug. 15. Trafflo be
tween the two Kansas Cltys Is practically
suspended today, all the temporary pile
bridges erected after the great flood In
June having been enoangered hy a rise In
the Kansas river.
The river has been causing more or lens
trouble for the past two weeks, the result
of continuous heavy rains west of Kansas
City. Following last night's heavy rain
fall, the river rose a foot. It continues to
rise rapidly today and It Is predicted that
It will go four feet higher before the waters
finally tpread out and the river begins
to subside.
At Armourdale, which waa literally wiped
out In the June flood, the river is four
teen feet above low water mark and seven
feet hlrher than the lowest mark recorded
since June. It will have to go fifteen feet
higher, however, to reach the town proper,
and th'a only damage possible is to the
bridges.
Barrow Escape from Drowning.
The current is so swift that rowboats
can hardly live In It, and there were
iff vocal narrow escapes from drowning
today by men employed on the bridges to
keep the drift wood away.
Last night's rnlnfall In Kansas was the
heaviest since the flood, and it has sent
the Kansaa, the Smoky Hill, the Solomon
ana omer streams up rapidly, at some
points to the flood stage. At Abilene the
water Is two feet deep on Fourth and Fifth
streets, and many ce'.lars have been flooded.
At Manhattan, backwater from the Blue is

HASTINGS, Neb., Aug. 15.-(Speclal.)
A smartly dressed ano polished young
couple stepped from a westbound train here
this week and attracted considerable at
tention 'by staying about the station all
day.
It was supposed that they were waiting
to make connections with some road, but
that solution played out when they passed
the night In the building and the next day
found them continuing the silent watch
about the station.
Toward the middle of the second day
they were questioned with regard to their
home and destination and reluctantly gave
the Information that they were a newly
married couple from New York, enroute
to San Francisco, and that while In Chi

freely than prudently, with the result
that they were about stranded at this
point.
They telegraphed to New Tork asking
relatives for assistance, but received no
reply. Meanwhile It was learned that the
young woman was quite well educated, an
excellent musician and an altogether
charming person. Abandoning the hope of
receiving financial assistance from their
relatives In the east, they vouchsafed the
Information that an uncle of the young

applied by telegraph for assistance, with

WHAT TO DO.
There Is a comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, the great kidney and bladder rem
edy, fulfills every wish In curing rheuma
tlsm, pain in the back, kidneys, liver,
bladder and every part of the urinary

or beer, andovercomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to go often
during the day, and to get up many times
during the night. The mild and the ex
traordlnary effect of Ewamp-Root is soon
realised. It stands the highest for Its won
derful cures of the most distressing cases.

A Lot of New
Milk Wagons
A visitor made the remark yesterday:
"I never saw such a lot of tough-looking,
TTfellk vagons In my life as they have hcrv
In Omaha. I visit quite a lot of eastern,
as well as western cities, and notice tho
difference, but I never oaw as many
ecraggy-looklng, dilapidated, dirty wagons
anywhere for a city cf Crnaha's size. Of
course, I see a few of the good ones down
town, but so very few. I should think
people would kick about It and refuse to
buy milk. Omaha certainly needs about 60
new wagons cn the street, and If I was
Drummond I would build a few samples
before quitting burlness, Just to show them.
I've seen soma fine milk wagons from
Drummond's, howtver."
