CROPS INUNDATED BY RECENT RAINS Bridgei Are Also Washed Oat in Southern Nebraska and North ern Kansas. TROUBLE IN IOWA IS PAST While the morning reports to the mil road Indicate that throughout Nebraska the rain baa ceased falling and the weather has cleared, great damage has been caused as a result of the flood. Thla is particularly true In tbe aouth part of the state. The Monday report to the Northaest im la to the effect that over an area of ten to twenty miles In all direction? from Superior, Saturday night anl Sunday morning the precipitation n from five to twelve Inchca. All low and bottom land In Nuckolls, Thayer and Webster rountles are submersed to a depth of two te ten feet, completely destroying iropa and drowning conalderabl live took. In manjr tnatanees fermera and sther dwellera on the low Innda saved themselves, their families and their property by moving to the hllla. The rain seemed to be In the nature of a cloud burst, and continued for pours. South of Superior, some years ago, the Northwestern built a line down to Web ber, Ken., constructing a bridge over the Republican liver. This bridge was two tnlles south of Superior, and consisted pf a structure of nine bents, each thir teen feet In length. Afterward, both the tna and the brIHi were leased to the Bant Fe for a . terois of year, that fnad belnf 0riif of getting Into Super ior, though It did not went to build Into Kebraska, as It did not want to comply vltli certain conditions of the state law. Brlaa-e Carried Away. Sunday, following the flood, the Re publican river rose fifteen feet epd car ried the bridge away, turning the whole valley Into a sea, six to eight miles wide and from o to fifteen feet deep. By reason of tbe Sunday flood, the Dock Island has euatalned losses In ths northern part of Kansas that will ap proximate possible $100,000 and delay traffic on the Qmaha-lenver line for ptrhaps week or tea days. Between Belleville and aVendla, the bridge over the Republican liver, a structure more than 1.000 fet long, ' was lifted off the piling and carried away down the stream, where It was com pletely demolished. Another bridge on the same stream, quite as long, between Belleville and McFarUnd, ' was washed sway and destroyed. For miles along the Republican river. It le asserted that tbe Rock Island grade has been washed to the level of the surrounding country and the road will have to be relullt before It can be operated. In the meantime, trains en the Omaha-Denver line will be letoured over the Union Pacific, Crops Vaitr Water. Advices to the Roof Island local of. tlf-ee Indicate that west of' Fatrbury and Into Kansas for K0 relies or more the whole country In under water from ths rains of last week and that'about all of the section of country from five to ten tea miles wide, crops and practically all destroyed. Over this stretch there are miles of country submersed to a depth of er.e to ten feet and in the low lands there are numerous plsces where the water le fifteen feet deep. North of the Rock Island lines, while the rain was heavy, apparently It did not do any damage to speak of. It In terfered with repair work on the Bur lington, but when tt ceased work wts returned and by tonight the Burlington will get trains through to Denver over Its south line. On all other lines In the state the road Is In gqd condition and trains are on schedule. Treable aa Kansas Mae. The Union Pacific had more trouble with Its line down the Blue river sod on aome of the lines In northe-n Kansas but repair work Is proedln.f rau.C'y and trains will be running within the rest couple 'of days, providing there are no more floods. On ths Union aclflc's main line conjflors art bark to normal, but there la considerable congestion due to the fact that exposition travel Is heavy and the train of the I lock Island, that are being detoured ever the main line and Into Denver. East of the Missouri river' the railroads are no longer experiencing any dif ficulty en aooount of fliodo. Titers have not Ixm.b any heavy re las within the last forty eterht hours and all track trout 's bae been reoslrsd.

His vis itor did not rouse from his melancholy trance, but, looking once more at the Inaend over the window, he mumbled: 'It sea Informstlon." and then with a reproachful look at Mr. Mole he ahambled off.

Thia removes any plmplea, shiny, muddy or sallow appearance, and will make anyone'a akin cleat, smooth and velvety. It does not show or rub off like powder; In fact. It seems. a part of the akin: and for removing tan and freckles la un equaled. It la necessary to shampoo more frequently in the warmer weathet because of excessive dust and the fact that the head perspires more and la usually more exposed to the weather. The easieet-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 hot water. Thia rubbed into the acalp creates a thick lather, soothing and cooling in Its action, and very beneficial-to acalp and hair. After rinsing the acalp la fresh and clean and the hair dries quickly and even ly and takes on a bright luster and aoft flutflneaa that makes it seem very heavy. Advertlaement.
