Tho rains have been ot almost dally occurrence during1 tho last two weeks, with almost a flood over tho ontlre state Thursday and Thurs day night, followed by a general and much heavier rain Friday and Friday night Tho rain ot Friday and Friday night visited every portion of Nebraska, but was heaviest In the southorn portion, where much damage was sustained by the railroads, the Burlington being tho heaviest hit it having lost a mile of track and one bridge between Culbert son and McCook. In this locality there was what is thought to ' have been a cloudburst, as five inches ot rain fell In side of two hours. Over the Burlington's lines from Omaha for Into Colorado and down Into Kansas the rains wero torrential. In many local ities continuing ten and twelvo hours, but without wind or hall. At Chalco, Just west of Omaha, there was a washout on the Burlington, 100 feet of grade being undermined, causing tho Omaha-Lincoln trains to be detoured by way of Orcopolls. Ilnln Is Henry. Rain measurements reported to Bur lington headquarters from some ot the stations show the following precipitation from Friday morning until Saturday morning: McCook, Stratton, Trenton and Bcnkle man, flvo Inches; Ashland, York, Grand Island, St Paul, Columbus, Crete, Schuy ler, three Inches: Strang, Oxford, Super ior, Teoumseh, Wllber, Loup City, Wy more, Beatrice, Lyons nnd Fremont, two Inches. Nearly all ot the other 100 or more stations reported from one to one and one-half Inches.

The Missouri Paclfio got two to three Inches of rain on the lines out In the state, with an Inch or more all tho way from Omaha to Kansas City on the river line. Tho railroads oil report the streams along their lines at flood stage and many ot them out of their bonks. In tho south ern part of the state the country roads have been badly cut and gullied, while numerous bridges and culverts have been washed away. Up to this time it Is not thought that the heavy rains have damaged tho crops oxcept on the low lands which have be come flooded. It is contended, however. If tho downpour should continue a few days longer small grain wduld become badly lodged and that the quality would be materially Injured, A report at Burlington headquarters at noon statod that at Lincoln the flood was assuming serious proportions. The report stated that In AVest Lincoln Salt oreek had gone out of Its banks and was rapidly flooding the railroad yards and the low lands where a large number of poor families live.
