The heavy rainstorm Monday night sent
Indian creek out of Ita banks about mid
rlteht, with the usual result that Broadway
from Tenth street to the Illinois Central
tracks Is covered with a deposit of slimy
mud several Inches deep. The creek first
left its banks as usual at the bridges of
the Northwestern railroad, and for a while
the water was two feet deep between curb
and -curb In the vicinity of the railroad
tracks. Despite the water and mud the
street railway company succeeded in main
taining a good car service between this
city and Omaha, although for about halt
an hour Uie cars were tied up on either
side of the railroad tracks.
The flood was not of long duration and
after about an hour the water In the creek
subsided. At one timed uring the height
of the flood the water was within an inch
or so of going over the North Eighth street
Bridge." West ht eighth street the creek
overflowed on the south side wherever the
banks were low. but the damage reported
Is not nearly as great as on the previous
overflow.
The heavy rain and hail was accompanied
by a severs electrical storm which, beyond
putting the electric light wires out of coin
mission for the time being, did no serious
damage. A small motor standing at the
corner of Pearl street and Broadway was
burned out by the lightning and presented
quite a pyrotechnics.! display. When the
first bolt struck the car It appeared to be
entirely enveloped In flames and the con
fluctnr and motorman made a precipitate

a second time and Its wiring completely
burned out.. ,

The hall was crowded with scarlet
gowned undergraduates of both sexes and
the male students enlivened the proceed

songs. The entrance of Mr. Carnegie was
the signal for an outburst of enthusiasm.
Five nations, or even three, banded to
gether In a league of peace and Inviting all
other nations to join them, could banish
all war in the future. .This opinion was ex
pressed today by Andrew Carnegie in his
rectorial address to the students In the

RAIN FALLS IN TORRENTS
Terrlae Dowapoar, Aeeompanled by
Electrical Display, Damaging;
New Cenerete Work.
One of the heaviest rains of the season
fsll throughout this section Monday night,
the precipitation at Omaha being 1 11 Inches.
The storm was accompanied by some hall.
The storm began about 10 :16 Monday night
with a startling display of lightning and
thunder. It was most severe between ths
Missouri and Mississippi rivers, there being
a rainfall of 1 inches at Davenport la.,
and 1 60 inches at Des Moines. There was
very little rain In the central and western
parts of Nebraska, the storm confining
Itself to the Missouri and Mississippi val
leys through eastern Nebraska and over
much of Iowa.
Snow Is reported at Denver Tuesday
morning and a freeslng temperature at
Cheyenne.
Ths boiler and engine room of the Crelgh
ton college of Law was flooded with three
feet of water. Hence there was no heat In
the building Tuesday, as no arrangement
could be made with the city engineer to
pump out the water until late In the after
noon. It is not yet definitely known how the
water came Into the boiler room, but It Is
thought to have resulted from some con
duits that were being placed for electric
lighting purposes. The causes cannot be
accurately located until the water Is
pumped out
Ths damage by the heavy rains Monday
night Included the spoiling of a lot of new
concrete work just put in by the Barber
Asphalt company on Twentieth street north
of Dodge. Superintendent McLaughlin es
timates the damage at from $300 to $1,000.

Invite the nations to send their representa

UCl'tlSBl Ul.
The number that would siadlv loin sneh
a league would be great, for the small na
tions would welcome the opportunity.
The relations between Britain. KVsnre
and the United States today are so close.
tneir aims so similar, the territories and
fields of operation so clearly deflnxd and
so different, that these powers might prop
erly unite In inviting other nations to con
sider the question of such a league aa has
neen SKetcnea. it is a subject well worthy
the attention of their rulers, for of all the
modes of hastening the end of war this
appears the easiest and the best. We have
no reason to doubt that arbitration In Its
present optional form will continue Its
rapid progress and that it In Itself con
tains the elementa required Anally to lead
us to peace, for it conquers wherever it is
tried, but It Is none the less gratifying to
know that there is In reserve the drastlo
mode of enforcement It needed which would
promptly banish war.
Mr. Carnegie's address was devoted en
tirely to the desirability, necessity and
even the possibility of putting an end to
war. He said In part:
Much has man accomplished In this un-
ward march from savagery, but the in
delible mark of war still remains to stain
the earth and discredit our claim to clvll
izat'on. One deplorable exception exists to
the march of Improvement. A new stain
has recently crept Into the rules of war as
foul as any that war has been forced by
publlo sentiment to discard. Today It Is
held that a formal declaration of war is
not Indispensable and that war can exist
without It. Here is the only step back
ward tn be met with In ths stead v progress
of modifying the rules of war. It Is to be
hoped that the coming conference will
stamp this treachery as contrary to the
rules of war and thus return to the ancient
and more chivalrous idea of attack only
after notice.
Dishonorable "Honor."
The speaker here referred to The Hague
tribunal and pointed to some of the re
sults already attained by it, saying that
the success of President Roosevelt In se
curing peace between, Japan and Russia
was made possible by The Hague treaty.
He continued:
Honor or vital Interests have hitherto
been excepted from submission by arbitra
tion treaties. We exclaim: "Oh, liberty,
what crimes are committed In thy name!"
but these are trifling compared with those
committed in the name of "honor," the
most dishonored word In our language. All
suffered where unpaved. Those that were
paved had thick layers of mud and debris
deposited at the foot.
On Fourteenth street near Izard about a
block of atone paving was undermined and
put In bad and almost Impassable shape.
Th yards of the Cady Lumber company
were flooded, but no considerable damage
done.
The criminal court room was agnln de
luged with water In one spot by reason of
the hard rain of Monday night. This leak
has existed so long and has become so
chronic that Judge Day Is fervently hoping
the committee on court house and jail will
be able to ret early action under the reso
lution authorising repairs to the court
house roof. A new carpet is to be laid in
the criminal court room this week, but the
Judge Is inclined to postpone the laying of
the needed floor covering until the leak In
the celling is stopped.

BURLINGTONCROP REPORT
The Burlington crop report for the last
week shows Nebraska to be In splendid
condition. On the Lincoln division the
plowing and seeding la Dractlcallv com
pieted. The acreage of winter wheat is
about the same or a little more than last
year. Wheat that la out of the ground
is looking exceedingly well.
On the Wymore division: The crop la
ruuy matured and husking will begin soon
The crop is large and quality most excel
lent.
On the Wymore division the plowing and
seeding also Is completed and the greater
part of the winter wheat Is out of the
ground and looking well. Acreage ia prob
ably about the same aa last year.
On the Lincoln division: No husking of
corn to sneak of has yet been done. Esti
mates of yield are running from thirty-rive
to seventy-five bushels per acre.
On the MeCook division the plowing and
seeding Is completed, with an acreage per
haps a little less than for the fall of
lIsH. Winter grain Is growing and Is every
where In excellent condition.
Corn on the McConk division is fully ma
tured and some husking done, although not
very much. There seems to be no doubt
that between Oxford and McConk espe
cially, there is a better crop of corn on
the ground today than has ever been rained
In that territory. It is estimated that ths
rleld will average where corn Is raiaed un
his division forty-flve bushels per acre.
It Is rather early to make such an esti
mate, and this may not be entirely reliable.
Hay has been practically all put up on all
divisions and there Is a most abundant
supply. Pastures are still green and yield
ing feed.

LOGAN. Ia.. Oct. 17.-(Speclal.)-In the
Harrison county district court this morn
ing the criminal docket ass resumed by the
trial of the matter of the State of Iowa
On August Ji Bowers shot and killed
George F arris, a prominent and wealthy
Knox county lumber dealer. He was tried
by the Laurel county jury early last week.
The Jury disagreed, being ten for the
death penalty and two for a life sentence.
A second trial by a Jury brought from
court of the United States Judges today be
tween states embracing an area larger than
Europe. It will be no novelty, but merely
an extension of sn agency already proved
upon smaller scale.
Notwithstanding all the cheering signs of
the growth of arbitration, we should delude
ourselves If we assumed that war Is Imme
diately to Increase, for It Is scarcely to be
hoped that the future has not to witness
more than one great holocaust of men to
be offered up before the reign of peace
blesses the earth. Rut that, peace Is to
come at last, and that sooner, much sooner,
than the ma'orlty of my hearers csn possi
bly credit. I for one entertain not one par
tic' of doubt.

A mother's worries arn rnsnv. Phs
sometimes forgeta her own boJUv die
comforts because of bar overpowering
lova for the child. 6 ha becomes broke rj

fnalt tired from morning until night.
Many mothers of emparlance can tell you
lhat at such a time they have been re
lieved, benefited and etrenirthpned and
put into proper health by taking a pre
scrlption which their mothers had told
them was the best woman's tonic and
nervine to be taken at such times. Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Preeorlptiott has en
oyed an enviable reputation for over a
third of a century. In all that time it
haa sold more largely in the United
States than any other tonio for woman's
oeeda, aud to-dav Ita sales are greater
than ever. Dr. 'Pierce made up this
prescription from native medicinal root
without the use of a particle of alcohol
and for the single purpois of curing
.'those diseases peculiar to women and
'when there is lark of womanly
strength to bear the hardens of maternal
duty. How few women come to this
I critical time with adequate strength.
The reason why so many women sink
under the strain of motherhood la be-
. cause they are unprepared. Ia pre
paration then required for mother-
. hood? asks the young woman. And
every experienced mother answers
"Yes." "I unhesitatingly advise
, pedant mothers to use Doctor Pierce's
Favorite Prescription," writes Mrs. J.
' W. Q. Stephens, of Mils, Va. The rea
son for this advice is that Dr. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription is the best pre
paratirs for the maternal function. Ho
matter how healthy and strong a woman
may be, she cannot use "Favorite Pre
scription " as a preparative for ma
ternity without gain of health and
comfort. But it is the women who are
not strong who best appreciate the great
benefits reoeived from the use of " Fa
vorite Prescription." For one thing it
use makes the baby's advent practically
Sainless. It has in many cases reduced
ays of suffering to a brief few hours.
It nas changed the period of anxiety
and struggle Into a time of ease and
comfort.

"Good actions speak louder than
words," so, too does the testimony of
many thousands of women daring a

' mere claims not backed by any such
record of cures.
