The bottom can be crossed to sany point in a boat. “Tihs morning it was still rals- ing. WYMORE, Neb, July 12.—(Special)— The highest point of the present flood was reached last evening about 6 o'clock, when the Blue river reached a point one foot higher than recorded before in twenty year: Many houses along the river were flooded and flelds of wheat and corn entirely washed away.

Wheat along the Nemaha valley is a total loss and, as there were many promising flelds in that portion of the country, the financial 1 to the owners will be enor- mous. In some instances the grain was in the shock and thus the cost of harvesting s added to the value of the grain. Other flelds in the higher sections have suffered from the dowhpour and the quality of the grain materially injured. The Nemaha has been out of its banks for ovor two days, but has lacked several feet of coming up to the previous high mark. The Burlington tracks, which were ralsed a year or two since, have not suf- fered materlally in this section Ilke In former years.

Hardly a holse escaped damage by the flood and many cellars are yet filled with water. Foundations in many instances are ruined, fences, side- walks and outbuildings washed away or lodged in trees, and that section devastated in general. Many of the inhabitants have lost nearly all their furniture and cloth ing and will need immediate relief. it is quite possible the city council will call a special meeting to meet the emergency and provide temporary rellef for the sufferers. Rallroad trafic was generally resumed yesterday on the Burlington and Rock Island roads, but the Union Pacific will not be able to get trains out of this city for ral days. The city waterworks also resumed op- erations yesterday after being shut down for forty-elght hours. The Beatrice Brick kilns, the electric plant, Black Bros'. mills and the rallroads have suffered vere losses. o In brief, the flood is the most destruc- tive one ever visiting this section of Ne- braska, and there Is no telling what the damage will be as a result of its visita- tion.

DIETRICH CLAIMS THE CREDIT Says Hastings Publie Bulldl Which Passed Both H HASTINGS, Neb., July 12.—(Special.)~ A false rumor has been going the rounds in regard to whom the credit s due for the securing of a public bullding for Hast- ings. Many of the leading ‘fusionists in this vicinity have been claiming that it was the Shallénberger bill which passed the house and senate, and thus captured the bullding for Hastings. The fusionists have felt so sure of it that they began to use it for political thunder. Upon the return home of Senator Diet- rich this week he was Interviewed in regard to the m-mr and he sald: Th ngs public bullding bill, which passed Fhoth Boue and senate, s my bill, and it went through without a Scratch, Trith the exception of being cut down from $160,000 ; and while this was being Hone the commiitee made an eOrt to cut it down to $100,000, but I objected so seri- gnaly that It was finally decided to make it chairman of committee in Y ¥hen Senator Fairbanks, ublic grounds and buiidi Phe senate, was here in Hastings 1 secured a promise from him for an appropriation for a government bullding. 1 introduc: the bill in the senate and it was pa and then went to the house committee of ublic _grounds and bufldin of which ave Mercer is chairman.

It would be preposterous that the senate committee would turn down the bills in- troduced by two republican senators and substitute for them bills which had been introduced by a fusionist when they both asked for the same thing. ‘The agreements on appropriations for N braska were entered into by Mercer, Bu; kett, Senator Millard and myself, and th fusion members were never considered nor consulted.

D, July 12.—(Special Considerable indignation Is felt here at the action of the State Board of Charities and Correction in purchasing supplies for the institution from a Chicago firm. Bids were received from all the biggest retail houses in the state and the dealers are angered at the firm that wholesales them their goods and then wholesaled to one of their customers, which practically was the case in this deal. The board, too, comes in for considerable censure for buying outside the state what could have been purchased at home with but little if any advance upon the prices which were secured elsewhere. Result of Horse Sale Encouraging. PIERRE, 8. D., July 12.—(Special.)—The horse sale here last month brought $30,000 and as & result the promoters of the idea are very much encouraged.
