CROPS INUNDATED BY RECENT RAINS Bridget Are Aluo Washed Out in Southern Nebraska and North em Kansas. TROUBLE IN IOWA IS PAST While the morning reports to the railroad Indicate that throughout Nebraska the rain has ceased falling and the weather has cleared, great damage has been caused an a result of the flood. This Is particularly true In the south part of the state. The Monday report to the Nerthmest irn I to the effect that over an area of ten to twenty mile In all direction.' from Superior, Saturday night anil funday momlntr the precipitation waa from five to twelve Inrhca. All low and bottom lands In Nuckoll. Tiyer and Webster ountlea are submerged to a depth of two te ten feet, completely destroying ropa and drowning conslderabl live itoch. In many Instance farmer and ther dwellers on the low land aaved Ihemaelvee. their famlllee and their property by moving to the hllla. The rain seemed to be In the nature of a cloud burat, and continued fur hour. Houth of Superior, me years ago, the Northwestern built a line down to Web ber, Kan., constructing a bridge over the Republican river. Thla bridge was two mile eouth of Superior, and conatated pf a atructure of nine bent, each thir teen feet In length. Afterward, both the line and the bjfwa were let, ted to the Bante Fa for a m ternis of yeara, that road being dealrui of getting Into Super ior, though It did not went to build Into Kebraaka, aa It did not want to comply srlth certain conditions of the state law. 'Brtltra Carried Away. Sunday, following the flood, the Re publican river roes fifteen feet and car ried ths bridge away, turning the whole valley rnto a tea, six to eight tnllea wide nd from iwO to fifteen feel deep. By reason of tbe Sunday flood, the Rock Island baa suatained loaeea In the northern part of Kan that will ap proximate poaalble 1110,000 and delay traffic on the Qmaha-Denver line for perhaps a week or tea daya. Between Belleville and ftcandla, the bridge over the Republican liver, a atructure mora than 1.000 fet long, ' waa lifted off the piling and carried away down the strea-n, where It waa com pletely demolished. Another bridge on the same atream, quite aa long, between Belleville and McrarUnd. ' waa waahed away and destroyed. For mllea along the Republican river, It la aaaerted that the Rook laland grade haa been waahed to the level of the aurrounding country and the road will, have" to be ret u! It before It ean be operated. In the meantime, trains an the Omaha-Denver Una will be Aetoured over the Union Pacific;, Crop fader Water, Advlcea to the Roof Island local of. licet. Indicate that west of Fwtrbury and Into K ansae for W mljes or mora the a hole country In under water from the ralna of laat week and that'about all of the eeotloa of country from five to ten ten miles wide, crops snd practically all destroyed. Over thla atretch there are miles of country submersed to a depth of cne to ten feet and la the low lands there are numerous places where the water la fifteen feet deep. North of the Rock laland lines, while the rain waa heavy, apparently It did not do any damage to apeak of. It In terfered with repair work on the Bur llngton, but when tt eeaaed work was resumed and by tonight the Burlington will get tralna through to Denver over Ita eouth Una. On all other llnee In the atate the road la In gwd condition and tralna are on schedule, w Treable Kaasaa Llae. The Union Pacific tied more trouble with Ita Una down the Blue river and on aome of the llnee In northern Kansas but repair work la proceeding ru. I'.'f and tralna will be running within the rest couple -of daya, providing there are no mora flood. On the I'nlon aclflc's main Una condflor art bark to normal, but there la considerable oongeatloa due to the fact that exposition travel la heavy and the tralna cf ttia I lock Isltntf that are being detoured over the main line and into Denver. . East of the MUeourl rler the railroads are no longer experiencing any dlf floulty on account of flvnla. There have not beta any heavy rains within Iho last forty eight hours and ail track trouble baa beea reoelred.

To whiten and beautify tbe com plexion permanently we have found no better preparation than a lotion made by dissolving four ounces of spurmax In one-half pint bot water, then adding two teaspoonfuls gly cerin. This removes any pimples, shiny, muddy or sallow appearance, and will make anyone'a skin cle, , smooth and velvety. It does not show or rub off like powder; In fact, It seems, a part of the skin; and for removing tan and freckles Is un equated. It Is necessary to shampoo more J imiueniiy in me warmer weaiuei because of excessive dust and tbe fact that the head perspires more and Is usually more exposed to the weather. The easleet-to-use and quickest-drying shampoo that w can recommend to our readers can be prepared very cheaply by dis solving a teaspoonful of canthrox, obtained from your druggist, In a cup of bot water. This rubbed Into the scalp creates a thick lather, soothing and cooling In its action, and very beneficial-to scalp and hair. After rinsing the scalp ia fresh and clean and the hair dries quickly and even ly and takes on a bright luster and soft fluffinesa that makes it seem very heavy.
