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

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.
AVhlle the Union Pacific report does not
give the precipitation at each of the sta
tions, on tho main line all tho way from
Fremont to Kimball, the last named town
being In the extreme western portion of
the state, the rainfall for the twenty-four
hours ending at 8 o'clock Saturday morn
ing aggregated from two to three Inches,
with tho heaviest in tho vicinity of Co
lumbus, with about the same amount of
precipitation on the Kansas main line
and the branches.

Along tho Northwestern thoro was an
average of one Inch of rain Friday night
all tho way from Fremont west to the
Nebraska state line, with still heavier on
the Bonesteeljind Winner branches.
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. Their houses were
surrounded by water and women and
children were being token to the higher
lands.

When the question was put there was
a chorus ot "aye's," but scattered nega
tives wero plainly heard. While Mrs.
Percy V. Pennybacker was declaring tho
motion carried and pounding with her
gavel for order, the pro-suffragists arose
and clapped their hands. There wero
tears of emotion in many eyes. Then in n,
distant gallory to which the Illinois dele
tion as hostess had consigned Itself, the
women raised their voices above the
tumult in the "battle hymn ot the repub
lic The retrain, "Glory, Glory Hallelu
jah," was taken up In various sections ot
the Auditorium.
The resolution follows:
"Whertas, The question of. JoUUcaL
equality of men a.'nd women Is today a
vital problem under discussion through
out the civilized world;
"Resolved, That the General Federation
ot Women's Qluba give tho cause ot politi
cal equality Its moral support by record
ing Its earnest belief In the principle of
political equality, regardless of sox."
Missing Aeronauts
Safe in Oregon City
Berry Slightly Hurt
PORTLAND, Ore., June 13-Captaln
John Berry, pilot of tho missing balloon
Million Population Club, and hla aide,
George Y. Morrison, walked Into Oregon
City at 0:45 a. m. Their balloon was
wrecked In a tree In the forest some
miles from Oregon City Thursday night,
according to a brief telephone report re
ceived In Portland from Morrison. Berry
was rendered unconscious, but was not
seriously Injured.
Tho balloon was smashed against a tal?
pine and collapicd In the top branches.
Neither of the aeronauts was thrown
from the basket but Borry waa hurled
against the side with suoh force that ha
was knocked unconscious.
While the rain came down In a deluga
and lightning flashed almost continu
ously, Morrison revived his companion as
they hung In the tree top 100 feet above
tho ground. At length Berry was able,
with the aid of Morrison, to descend tha
trail rope to the ground.
Before thoy descended Morrison wrote
his noto telling of the mishap and ask
ing for aid, which he attached to a car
rier pigeon that arriver here yesterday.
Thousands of persons throughout
Oregon's mountainous region continued
today to beat the densely timbered
slopes In search of the other two balloons
which remain missing of the four that
sailed from here Thursday In a long dis
tance race. Although the contest has
developed Into a mystery that forebodes
a tragic sequel, the happy rescue ot
Berry and Morrison strengthened tha
hope thnt the Springfield and Kansas City
III aeronauts will turn up safe.
