How It Olosed Shops and Smelting ‘Works Eight Years Ago. A MINIATURE SEA ON THE PRAIRIE A Bheet of Water Extending From Omaha to Council Bluffs, with Industries Paralyzed in Both Towns. Omaha’'s Flood. The terrible fiood at Johanstown, which is receiving the attention of the entire civilized world to-day, tends to recall tomind the great flood which visited Omaha in April, 1831, when the Missouri river overflowed its Danks and the muddy waters trespassed upon the Union Pacific shops, the smelting works wand all property in the fiats near the bauks. Many of the old settlers of this city will re- member the havoc caused by the rushing ‘waters in their maddening course carrying dostruction everywhere, The railroad wack was washed away, the shops had t be abandoned in hot haste, and the workmen were compelled to flee for safety. The danger line was passed by the wild ‘waters on the 20th of April, 1881. Byb o'clock on that day, the water was upso high 4o toe Union Pacific sliop that it was impos- aible to continue work and the machinery was all stopped. At 8 o'clock the floors were flooded, and w stream six feet deep wharled §ts way through the smelting works, su that 2o part of the works were accessable. All “of the outbuildings of the shops and smelting works were deeply sub- merged, and the familien in the few Temaining houses that had not already been. wvaoated, precipitately took to flight. En- gines were kept busy pulling ioaded pnd empty cars out of the way to & placo of safety on higher grounds, while the various lumber compuuies doing business noar the river were strenuously endeavering to save thelr property. At Council Bluffs, too, the waters were running all over the bottom lands nnd the tracks were flooded, and the people living there were forcad to abandon their homes snd flee to the uplands, where the madden- dog rush of waters could not reach them. vY noon, on April 21, the sigual oficers measurement showed that the water in the Missouri river at this point was twenty-ono foet and seven inches nbove low water mark, and was still rising rapidly. By 9 o'clook, mext moraing, avother foot was added to the depth of wate! d the rise kept increasiog, Stacks of lumber were falling dowu and floating away, sud men had to stand idle bty and see their property swept off in the augry current without being able o save it. The effect in the steady Increase in the E‘“ volume of er was plainly seen, und e cables, booms and dums construbted for the purpose of saving property gave way: under the prossure. Bosides the great dun- age to property, the business interests of Omaha were very materially affected by the blockade of travel. In many places therc 'were big washouts on the road, while in others the tracks were several feet under water and it was impossible for trawns to move in oither direction. Bridges, 100, were washed away ut various points and from the outside world. Boats were in great domand, 810 a day being the price charged for the use of a skiff, and evon at that price boats of any description were hard to get. Hnlfmp)o had to come and go and the expense of skiff hire was not considored when it came to having to brave the dangers of the many whirlpools and treacherous cur- ¥ents in the rushing river, Oa April 24, the waters had risen toa helght of neariy twenty-four feet above low . mark, and a ief account from ;n- Evexine Dxx of that date will the feeling was at that time, It says: *“The river is the all absorbivg topic tion w:'IL{ on every hand, and o conversal Ea.:gm situation can hardly o ‘water Every additional inch of M'E.Maml il 10 the great indus- -y ‘are " threatanod sad parially advancing tide means submerged on this side of the nver, but it means new floor flooded, additional dwell ings dslocated and hundreds of families made homeless, at points on the other side, on this side, above and below. “The smelting works, shops and every building touched by the muddy tide, are still entirely surrounded. While the body of water i8 surely greater the current seems to be less fierce at this point, provably due to the filling up of the vast lowlands and basins further down the stream. On this side, with the exception of a portion of a bridge from some small stream, which floated down and lodged against the Union Pacific shops, there is nothing very new to-day, but on the other side of the river there is much food for observatiou and plenty chances to becowe interested. her and higher the water has crept until it now touches at one poiat the base of the bluffs, which hang nver the «©ity taking that name. 1t has invaded about one thousand door yards, and has rushed into about one-fourth as many houses. All of the depots are surrounded by water at various depths. The Northwestern is reached by means of boats omly, and the others are -no better off. All of the hotels are crowded with people from the flooded district of the city and from the ncoming rains, ‘‘Between the stock yards and the river channel proper it is one vast sea, with ‘here and there a faintly discernible line of post tops to show that underneuth is real estate which, atthis time, was valuable enough to fence off.- Below and among the side-trucks running south of the transfer depol are & score of cars on their tracks and nearly submerged, while hundreds of others are toppling on the washed out aud crooked rails; the water reaching half way up the sides of the cars. Five tracks were washed away either entirely or in_ sections and pres- ented a most dilapidated sight.” The waters began w recede on April . ufter having reached a _point twenty-three feet nine inches above low water mark, and the falling at all points be. came 50 rapid that two days later the Union Pacific und smelting works put a gaug of men to work clcaning up and getting their machinery ready for operation. The lumber companies, 100, began filling orders, and in a few days the waters had receded, the dam- ages had been repaired, and everything put on & businuss appearance once more. ‘Various kinds of entertainments were got- ten up for the benefit of the flood sufferers, just ow being done for the Johnstown sufferers. But while the waters kept rsing, people were wondering what next move the Mies souri would take iato its capricious channel, and the ravest apprehension was overy- where manifested, until the rise had reached its highest point and the fall had begun. v is hard for those who have unever wit- sed & flood to properly appreciate and realize its horrors; but even such a flood as visited Omaha in 1881 bears but . faint ve- semblance to the terrible calamity that visited Johnstown a few days ago. — —— HONEY FOR THE LADIES, Mauve and violet are favorite colors in millinery.

A Great Pythian Day in the Bluffs— Blue Lodge Elections—Mod- ern Woodmen and Their Doings. Scottish Rite Masonry. The scssion of the grand lodge of Towa which has just closed at Sioux City, drew to that city about twelve hundred of the masons of Towa. Oneof the chief features of the session was the contest concerning the Scot- tish rites bodies. There are twoof these bodies doing work in Iowa, familiarly distin- guished as the Pike und the Cerneau consis- tories. The two have been warring for a long time, mainly over tae question of juris- diction, the work being the same. Hereto- fore the grand lodge has taken a position of neutrality, afirming that it had no_jurisdic- tion over any other degrees except those of the blue lodge. This year an attempt was made to get the grand lodge to take a hand in the contest aud to declare in faver of the Pike bodies. Action was urged by the Pike men on the ground that they were the first in the fiela, and the Cerneau men had no business to come into lowa. The Cerneau men claimed that they were the only legiti- mate body, and that the Pike men were sguatters on their territory. The Cernean- ites also claimed that whatever differences existed between the Scottish rite bodies should be settled outside of the blue lodge, aud that master masons could not be justly called upon to decide upon degrees of which they were supposed to know nothing. The Cerneau bodies in Iowa have grown so rapidly, and 8o far outnumber the Pike men $hat thelatter hind evidently become alarmed, and 80 sought to use vhe grand lodge to club Cerneauism, In the contest prominent masons took part, each side having mble advocates. Some of the Pike men themselves protested against the action of their brethren, and insisted that the matter had no right to be dragged inlo the lodge, Ihose who were doing the draggiug in, however, evidently had control of the oflicial’ mavhinery of the lodge, and were therefore ut a great advantage. 'The result was that after a great deal of disous- sion, and much lobbyang in the hotel cor- ridors, the, desired action was sccured, the grand lodge adgpting the report of the com- mittee, dec) rlufi in favor of the Pike bodies, but pmu‘;ily aving the fiual settlement of the mattér until next year. In Councl] Bluffs the contest was watched ‘with interest, for here is established a Ces- neau consistory, which numbers about sev- enty of the hest known masonic oitizens. They are fitling up an elegant hall, and are doing fine work., The Pike consistory has 0o body hexe, 4ud but three or four of their members live héve, 1i -.n Masons.

The Patriotic Order of the Soms of Amerion was first_organized m the city of Philadelphia in 1847, and spread rapidly through tho Atlantic and Middle statwes. The call for troops in the war of 1561 nearly emptied every camp of the order upon the fleld of battle. In 1866 the order was reor- ganized snd built on a firm foundation. Since then its camps have spread until they cover nearly every state and territory of the union. 1ts object is the cultivation of patri- otism in all its brancnes, cntirely separate from politics and partisan entangloments. Mon of every partisnn conuoction are en- rolled beneath its banners. The or- ganiration is subdivided into @ mational cump, with state and subordinate camps. ‘The subordinate camps may, if they wish. adopt a beneficial feature for sick sud deceasod members, Under the coatrol of the national camp there 1s 6 mortuary relief fund which is opon to every member bf the order.
