What the Rain Did. storm was one of the hardest From 7:30 o'clock until five or six hours later it was o steady downpour, the register at the water works office showing a fall of an inch and a half in forty minutes. All over the city the water ran above the curbstones and flooded cellars und in many cases the first floors of the houses. The streets were so full of 'water that persous who were compelled to cross ard were unprovidea with appliances for wading hired hacks to couvey them to the other side of the street. Almost every cellar on Upper Broadway will be found this morning with a couple of feet or more of water. A patch of cedar block paving on Oakland aveoue about 75 feet long and 10 feot wide was torn loose and the blocks went sailing down the place that was once ‘Washington avenue. “Many business houses on Lower Main strect were also flooded, the Pioneer Imploment warehouse being one of the most unfortunate.

Davis, prescripuon druggist Desperate Attempt of a Young Man to Com- mit Solf-Murder JAMES SEEVERS' POOR MARKSMANSHIP He Fires Four Shots at Mimsolf, but Only One Takes Effcot—Not Very Nadly Hurt-Whisky Causes Ilis Rash Act, Jim Seevers, a young man in the employ of Brown, tried to commit suicide yester- ay shortly after noon, Four shots wero heard in rapid succession from the second floor, and Mr. Brown, who was in the store during the noon hour, ran up stairs to see what was the matter. He found Seeve lying on the floor beside a chair from which he had evidently just fallen. A revolver was in his hand and the blood was pouring in a steady stream from a wound just above the right ear. Help was at once summoned and o medical examination was made which re- sulted in the discovery that Seevers was not killed, but had had a rather narrow escape. Scevers has had a great deal of troublo from his tendencies to drink more than his stomach actually needed. In fact he had taken the Keely treatment twice, but each time went back to his cups with a fervor that resulted in his becoming almost a chronic drunkard, The men in the store with him state that he used to be a fivst- class workman when sober, and it is only Brown's liking for him that kept him tho situation so long. For the last two weeks he has hardly drawn a sober breath. Yesterday noon he went up stairs and a few minutes later brought into active use the gun which_he had prgvided for him- self. Three shots failed to hft the mark at all, but were picked out of the ceiling later on’ by Oficer Wiatt and given to the coroner as evidence in case the cor- oner's sorvices should be required. The fourth took effect just above the right ear and glanced upward, coming out an inch orso above the piace where it went in, inflicting o small scalp wound that bled vigosously, but doing no further dam- age. The shot was from a 32-caliber Smith & Wesson, and the fact that it failed to ac- complish a vesult any more dire speaks in glowing terms of ~the hardness of Mr. Seevers' skull. He was taken to the Woman's Christian_Assoclation hospital, where he is having the best of treatment. 1t is notthought that the wound will prove dangerous. MANAWA'S OPENING, Immense Crowds Witness and Enjoy the Opening of the Summer Season. There were two deluges at Manawa yester- day afternoon. One was a deluge of children and the other was an unbound edition of Noah's original flood. The children were there first and they enjoyed everything, in- cluding the storm, which they viewed with delight from the hotel yerandas and the lake front pavilion. The occasion was the open- ing of the scason. The event had been taken advantago of by Bennison Bros., the dry goods merchants, who arranged a free ex- cursion for the children of Council Bluffs, Omaha and South Omaha, or as many of them as wanted to go ana could be accom- modated, Arrangements had been made by Colonel Reed to take care of a big crowd, every car in tho service of the com- pany being utilized. Bennison Bros. issued over 5,000 tickets, and during the hour that the distribution was going on traflic on Broadway was almost blocked. Finally the Bennisons placed two long counters on_the Scott street side of their building and in- creased the force of ticket givers. It wasa sight worth looking at. The side street was filled completely with a shouting, hustling, laughing crowd of girlsy and boys, with enough of school teachers and parents to provent a gencral riot. By half past 12 the crowd had become so great thot the dry goods merchants began to fear that their place would be sacked and for self-preserva- tion made the announcement that the first motor train would leave at 12:30 instead of 1 olclock, This sent all the youngsters that had secured tickets scurrying toward the Broadway depot and the others crowded forward and obtained tickets. Tickets wero issued until after 2 o'clock and it required five trains to carry the multitude down. At the lake every arrangement had been made to make the day a memorable one. The Galloway Specialty company gave & fine matinee performance in the incompleted avilion opera house. It was just what the fittle people and all others liked, and they stirred the depths of the lake with their shouts of approval. Dalbey’s band gave a concert after the matince, and there were many other special features to please the children. One was especially new and novel, Colonel Reed had bought fifteen boxes of oranges, and hit upon a novel manuer of dis- tributing them. He cleared the crowd from the big lawn for a few moments and then scattered the oranges over an acre of the grass. ‘Then, at a given signal, he turned the children icto the wolden field and lev them scramble for the fruit. Old fishermen say that what followed paralyzed the fish in the lake. Nono of the oranges escaped and none of the boys were killed. During the afternoon seve: thousand of the children and their guardians were given free excursions on the lake, the big steamer Max Meyer and Ed Ainscow's two safe and sturdy little flyers furnishing the means. Everything was free and the children of the three cities owned the lakeand everything in it and around it for the time, There was not an accident or an unpleas- ant happening reported, and the children ave lavish in their praise of the enterprising firm and the lake management that made it possible for them to have so delightful an outing. Next Saturday will also be a big day at the lake. The work on the pavilion op house will be completed and the theatrical season that will last all summer will be inaugurated. ‘The Manawa Theater com- pany will open it with a *Modern Waif.”? A number of very fine companies have been engaged and the public will thoroughly enjoy the novelty of attending a dramatic entertainment on the water, Employing Promiaent Men, The Perpetual Maturity Bonding Company of Council Bluffs has the dis- tinetion” of having in its employ as agents some of the best men in the coun- try, and this is one of the reasons why their singularly simple plan of saving and making money upon small invest- ments has become 8o popular. Among the prominent men who have recently become associated with the company in this capacity is Hon, Alonzo Perkins, who has been on the Nebraska bench for thirteen years. He has been appointed general agent for Northeastern Ne- braska, with headquarters at Blair. Judge Perkins will push the interests of the company in that vicinity, and will have charge of a number of responsible sub agents. The engagement of such men as Judge Perkins is the highest kind of anen- dorsement of the company, and is the strongest kind of assurance that ‘‘there is #1,000 in it” for all who become the holders of one of the company’s bonds.

The Memory of the Patriot Spy of the Rev- olutionn Embalmed In Bronze, After the lapse of more than a century tho patriotic services, hereoic devotion to coun- try and lamentable death of Nathan Hale, the patriot spy of the revolution, are to be commemorated by the erection of a statue, which is to be placed in City Hall park, New York City, next Tuesday. The raising of the monument is a labor of love to bo per- formed by the Sons of the Revolution of Now York. Nathan ITale is familiar to all who have read American history. He was captured on September 18, 1776, by the British aud hung at sunrise on Sunday morning, September o9 22, in the orchard of Colonel Henry Rutgers, near what is now the junction of Market street ard East Broadway, New York. Iale was an American spy. Ho had in many respects his prototype in John Andre, the British spy who was executed by the revo- lutionists. He was a typical New Enpgland boy. He was born at Coventry Corner, Mass., June 0, 1755. His grandfather was one of the early settlers of Massachusetts, graduated at Har- vard college and attended the Salem witch: craft trials in 1602 and approved the judicial murders that resulted. Nathan Hale at- tended Yale college and graduated in 1772 He was then 18 ycars of age. The strain be- tween the mother country and the colonies was increasing to an ominous tension. The political situation was well understood by young Hale when he left college and wheén news of the battle of Lexington reached New London, Conn., where he was teaching school, he called a meeting of his fellow townsmen in the school house to take action, That was Nathan Hale's debut in public as a patriot. To those who faltered he said: “Let us march immediately to the battlefield and never lay down our arms until we have obtained our independence.” Hale was made o heutenant in Colonel ‘Webb's regiment, known as “the Nineteenth Continentals,” and early in 1 Was pro- moted to a Y. On August 27 Webb's command, with others, was hurried over to Long Island, but took no paft in the engage- ment thatculminated in the defeat of Wash- ington’s army. On August 30 the skillful treat of Washington to New York City was begun and Hale was transferred to the com- mand of a company in the Connecticut rangers known as *Congress’ Own.” It was at this point that he became a fa- mous character in American history. A spy was needed to gain information of the enemy's movements. Hale volunteered and reported to General Washington at the house of Robert Murray on Murray Hill in % New York City. What ic instructions, advice and cautions Hale received from Wash- ngton is mou recorded, but suffice it to say that he made his way back to Connecticut, assumed the garb of a schoolmaster and a loyalist and in this guise mingled with the tories and the British troops. He was on his way back to Washington's headquarters on September 18, 1776, wnen his diguiso was penctraced and he was cap- tured by a clever trick on Long Island Sound and placed on board_a British man-of-war. He was brought to New York and dclivered to General Howe. The British commander examined him, sbut thero was no formal trial. and Hale was condemned to die on September 22 at sunrise. He never flinched His willing executioner was Provost Marsha| Willian Cunninghuw, & man of violent and coarse nature, who hated tho Revolutionists with a bitterness past understanding. Hale, whose request for a bible had been denied, passed bis last night on eartn writ- ing to his parents, his sister and to his be- trothed. These letters were given into Cun- ningham’s hands. He cruelly tore them up before Hale's eyes, “so” as he said, “the rebels should never know they had A man who could die with such firmness.” Hale was hung to the limb of an old appie tree. - He was made to climb a ladder that the noose might bo placed about his neck. Before complying he said impressively: “You are sheddiug the blood of the in- nocent pif I had 10,000 lives I would lay them down in defense of my injured, blecding country." His last words were: “I only regret that 1 have but one life to lose for ‘my country. The words had hardly escaped his lips when Cunningham, with a malignant leer, kicked the ladder from under the condemned man. Many years afterward Lafayette in his memoirs thus described the sad scene: “aptain Hale of Connecticut, o distin- guished young man, beloved by’ his family and friends, had been taken on Long Island under circumstances of the same kind as those that occasioned the death of Major Audre, but instead of being treated with the like respect, to which Mujor Andre himself bore testimony, Captain ‘Halo was insulted to the lust moment of hislife. *This1s a fine death for a soldier! said one of the Euglish officers who were surrounding the cart of execution. ‘Sir,’ replied Hale, lifting up his cap, ‘there is no'death which would not be rendered noble in such a glorious cause.’ He calmly replaced his cap, and the fatal cart moving ou he died with tho most perfect composure. Hale left no descendants to glory in tne deed of their ancestor. His nephews and grandnephews were able and noted journal- 1sts, and the mental development as well as the honorable character of the Hale race bas been manifest in each generation. His grandniece, Lucretia Peabody, was an authoress well worthy of mention, and the literary career of Edward Everett Hale, her brother—but that is another, 8 modern wnd familiar story.

The first sight of Gibraltar is, T think, disappointing, says Richard Hurding Davis in Harper's Weekly. 1t means so much, and so many lives have been given for it, and so many great ships sunk by its batteries, and such great powers have warred for 1,200 years for 1its fow miles of stone, that its black outline against the sky, with nothing to meas- ure it with {nn. the fading stars, is dwarfed and spoiled. It is only alter the sun begins to‘turn tho lights out an1 you are able to compare it with the great ships at its base, and you see the battlements and the mouths of cannon, and the clouds resting on its top, that you understand it, and then, when the outline of the crouching lion that has faced all Europe for 100 years comes into relief, you remember it i3, as they say, the lock to the Mediterranoan, of which England holds the key. Andevenwhile you feel this, and ave greedily following the coursé of each rampart and terrace with eyes that are tired of blank stretchos of water, some one points to a low line of mountains lying like blue clouds before the red sky of the sunrise, dim, forbidding and mysterious—and you know that it is Africa. Spain, lying to the right, all green and amothyst, and Nippant and gay with white houses and red roofs, and Gibral- tar’s grim show of battlements and war, bocome, somehow of little moment. You feel that you have known them always, and that they are as you fancied they would be. But this other land across the water looks as inscrutable, as dark and as silent as the Sphinx that typifies it, and you feel that its Pillar of Hercules still marks the entrance to the ‘‘unknown world."” WENTY YEA THE LEADER!!! l-‘:lz:'llllu, kly by BENSON’'S which ) Hahe Seen ROROYS R ASTER fonts YET ABSOLUTELY BAFE and ITIVE 1 Its aotio Benson's Plasters Prevent Pueumonia.
