Southern Nebraska and North

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;,

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.

TODAY'S BEAUTY HINTS
. 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
