In the meantime, connections will be made by stubs that will be run from either end. Track Wnihril Arrn. In Sioux county, In the extreme north western corner of the stato, and in the vldnlty of Harrison, the Northwestern had another washout, some 300 feet of grade and track, by a branch of the Nio brara, river that overflowed Its bank and quickly flooded the count ry for a half jr.He on either side of the stream. It will require twelve to eighteen hours' to re pair the break In the track at .this point. The Omaha road had a bad washout In the vicinity of Tyson, the first station north of Calhoun on the Sioux City line. Nearly 2M feet of truck was undermined to such an extent that trains were de layed several hours. All through north Nebraska the rain was the heaviest of the. season and In many localities the heaviest In years. It Is estimated that from a point thirty mile or so north of Norfolk, all the way through to Winner, 8. D., the end of the Boneateel line, the precipitation during the twenty-four hours ending this morn lng was from three to five Inches. One to Three Inches There was from one to three Inches of rain all the way across the north part of the state along the Northwestern, from the vicinity of Ncllsh to the WyomlnK tote line, and In numerous localities It was still raining this morning when the station reports came to the railroad head quarters here. Burlington territory In Nebraska was visited by what was practically a gen eral rain continuing all last night. The following named stations, most of which ere In the winter wheat belt, reported one Inch and more of rain: Lyons, O'Neill, Aurora. Grand Island, fit Paul, Ttavenna.

From Ilecla to Seneca In Hooker county on the BurltnAton's Billings line tho. water was over the track In a number of places, but so Tvashouts resulted. From Edgmont, 8. D., all the way through to Billing, Mont., there waa a continuous downpour during the night, but no damage resulted therefrom. On the Union Pacific, there were many heavy showers during the night, both nldrig the main line and over the Ne fcrMka branches, with a steady rain of more than twelve hours' duration all the way from North Platte to Cheyenne. None of the railroads reported heavy rain along the Missouri river territory, though showers were numerous. Itrldsceo Wnnheil Oat. Along the Burlington's High line, near Curtis, pretty well out In the west part of the state, three Inches of rain fell In a short time Wednesday night. Medi cines creek, running east through Fron tier county, waa soon out of Its banks. sweeping everything in It course. The Toadbed that lies low In the valley In many places was covered to a depth of one to two feet with water and three bridges were washed out. sending travel through to Denver over the south line.

Two Streets Are in light for Highway Olive and rlatte streets in Columbus, Neb., are fighting for the Uncoln High way. II. E. Krcdrlckson has just re turned from that town and says the fever ! Is hlsh there. Of course, Columbus seta the Lincoln Highway Thus far the town rnilltd together. Then, when It came to a matter of which street should carry the highway from the main street to the 1-oup river bridge, Platte and Olive streets began to fight. Kredrlckson, while he told them ho had no desire to mix Into their affairs, explained that Platte should hav the highway, because that would take the tourists past the new Kvans hotel, which Is a credit to the town, nnd he declared that many tourists would stop over night when they should see that hotel rather than to so farther and take chances on the smaller hotels out In the state. Would Your Widow Have a Home? The man at the heatd of the house with the responsibility of caring for a family should have an eye out for future years. There are ways of providing for the future in a substantial manner and with very little difficulty if you will give the matter a little careful thought. One thing that you can do right now that will be really worth while is to find out what other people know about real estate conditions and values in Omana. It may be that you have never thought seriously about owning a home or a farm of your own because somehow the words "real estate" are associated in your mind with an investment of big money.
