CAT PAW POLICY. About as contemptible an individ- |ual as one can imagine, is the fellow — | who is always willing to lend himself | to be used as a cat’s paw to rake the other feilow’s chestnuts out of the fire. This appears to be the attitude of the Kepublican-Press in attempting interfere in “Democratic family affairs."” It gets its inspiration and “wrape vine” information from the same source and appears so “‘denee” that it cannot see, what is plain to those who have watched the trend of aljairs for years, that the other fel- J.

Denver, May 21.—The Cache la Poudre river, swelled by acloudburst overflowed its banks yesterday. Much damage has been caused. The dam in Livingston lake, sixty-five miles above Fort Collins, broke and the flood swept over the towns of LaPorte and Livermore, practically wiping them off the map. At Fort Collins the river is nowa mile wide. Bellview and Wellington are under water. This river runs through a thickly settled part of the state. The Crow river, which runs through Cheyenne, Wyo., is on a rampage. A part of the city is under water. Six persons are reported drowned. Private Hughes of the Thirteenth artillery, another man, a woman and three children. A wall of water many feet high evme down the valley and caught the residents like rate in @ trap. Hundreds fled in their night clothes. There is a heavy lossof property and the railroads are tied up by wash- outs. There is general destruction of ranch property. The money loss has already been placed at $1,000,000. All: gate- heads of irrigation ditches and canals are washed out and itis feared they cannot be repaired in time to irrigate this year’s crops. In that case the loss will reech $2,000,000. Railroad communiention ia suapended. Goh, at 10a. imn., when delegates d to represent Bates county in the State, Supreme Court, Appelate Court, Nationa!

Burkett of the First Ne- braska district for the upper house, but the nomination of Bryan cannot take place until the Democratic con- vention to nominate a state ticket assembles in August. Bryan, it is expected, will make a thorough can vase of the state and his interest in the result in Nebraska will probably make him much less of a figure in the national campaign than has been generally anticipated in Democratic circles not believe, however, that past fealty to Polk should ale in this matter of selecting delegates, as the ticket is yet to elect, and future fealty hasas much to do with it as if not_more. i suggests Capt.
