SOCIETY 1S DOING LITTLE Dullest Week in Many Months ie that Jasy Pa 4 od GOLF AND BOATING THE ONLY THINGS Some Life, but Mere Loa® the Clabs, with Just Enough Visiting to Prevent Abso- late Stagnation. If any of the fashionables have done any- thing of late aside from fnishing their preparations to go away for the summer, or ending the few teas and dinners of the week, they have done it so quietly that no one else has heard of It, not even the busy dame, for the week just past has been un- Interesting beyond any that society has ex- perienced in many a month Though the scare out at the Country club which threatened for a few days to put an end to the popularity of that resort, for a time at least, has all blown over, and there | are almost as many of the fashionables to be found about the place as ever, in the big hall, on the veranda and over the links, 1t has been Manawa and the Boat club that has attracted the younger set of late and almost every evening has found some of them there, salligg, rowing or just watching the other people. In fact, but few of them have visited the Country club at all re- eently, only as invited there to dinner. Btill no one will now admit that he s really afraid. Out at the Field club Interest seems to be increasing with every week, that is, if any- thing is to be judged by attendance. Espe- clally is this true of the Wednesday and Baturday evening hops, which are sure to be well attended in spite of the weather. But these informal doings seem to satisfy soclety entirely and this week promises little more than last. Weddings and Engagements.

RIVER IS TEN MILES WIDE AT POINTS ar Driven from Home and Only Highest Points Are Free from Danger. of Farmers in Lowlands KEOKUK, Ta., July 19.~The flood condli- tions of yesterday were much worse to- day and the Mississippi river is from two to ten miles wide for seventy-five miles below Keokuk and is rising rapidly. The flood is reaching far outlylng farms |and farmers in the lowlands on the Mis- souri side have lost everything but thelr citadels on high knolls and & few flelds be- hind the highest levees Damage is also caused on the Illinols side between here and Quincy, where there are many thousands of acres beyond river- | s1de levees which are not entirely efficlent, | the water working through at the side of | the floodgates. The Lima and Hunt levees | opposite Canton, Mo., the most dangerous [places and which protect many square miles of corn in Illinos, are being con- stantly patrolled and hopes are enter- tained that they may possibly hold. The greatest damage is on the Miesourl side of the M ippi river between Keo- kuk and Hannibal, territory covering 300 square miles, and on which the corn was estimated at elghty bushels to the acre a few days ago, being Inundated. Hundreds of farmers are temants who lost crops by last year's drouth in the uplands and moved to the lowlands this year. They are now penniless and hunting work in towns and citles. Reports today are that in the territory indicated the loss will be over $4,000,000, chiefly to corn Iald by and in splendid con- dition previously. The damage done up the Miselssippl river is greater than ex- pected or at first reported. One township In this county, Green Bay, is under six or soven feet of water. It contalns over 11,000 acres of crops. Familles were driven out hurriedly and Some cattle drowned. Corn was the very finest in this section of the country last week. Burlington Levee Breaks. The levee just north of Burlington broke, inundating three square miles that had been considered safe. The Skunk river, the most destructive tributary of the M ippl, is roaring down with a flood exceeded but twice in the history of the state—in 1851 and in 1803. The water topped the record of 1892 and has touched the highest record of 1851. This river rises in the center of Iowa and emptie: into the Mississippl twenty-five miles north of Keokuk, greatly increasing the flood at points below. Rallroads In Iowa will be put to great cost in the maintenance of tracks and safety of trains. The Burlington and Rock Island s tems are closely patrolled by watchmem at all bridges and culverts. No great damage has occurred to them om account of the systematic prevention, but this has been done at great cost. The supervisors of Lee, Des Molnes, Washington, Henry, Jeferson, Wapello and Van Buren coun- tles have men at work trylng to save ‘wagon road bridges, many of which have already gone out. Losses from this cause will be very considerabls Thousands of acres are submerged fin Appanoose: county, Iowa, and there fs much small grain caught in the fleld: The crop In other places is chiefly corn. A new élement that has appeared all over the flooded section of JIowa is disea: among stock from the condition of p tures overflowed slightly before and used after temporary subsidence of the waters. Later reports tonight picture widespread destruction down the Mississippl, the scurrying of farmers to get off inundated lands and save their families, and steam- boats taking off many, including all resi- dents of the {slands in the Mississippi. A number of manufacturing plants along the river front at Quincy are threatened with inundation. As far south as Loulslana, flood is doing damage. Observer Gosewisch of the Weather bu- reau station here, said late tonight that the rise here will be elght inches more, although the river s now widespread and the helght is lessened by the great a of flooded lowlands. Hamlet Washed Away, LA SALLE, Ill., July 19.—A heavy down- pour of rain has fallen in this region in- cessantly for thirty-six hours and the Ilinols and Vermillion rivers and tribu- taries have sent a flood down the valley that has rulned many of the bottom land farms and caused losses to the country between here and Ottawa aggregating more Mo., the entering La Salle and Peru from the south are all submerged. Many bridges have been wrecked, prevent- ing all approach to the cities from the erg, a hamlet on the Vermillion river, just east of here, has been almost Woman’s Work in Club and Charity The summer conference of the Young Women's Christlan assoclation, to be held at Lake Geneva, Wis., next month, prom- ises to attract its usual gathering of as- clation workers, the indications being that the attendance from Omaha and Ne- braska will be greater than ever before. The large attendance from this vieinity last year brought back an enthusiasm that seems to have spread and become general among assoclation members, untll Geneva promises to be the popular vacation resort this summer. The conference will open August 23 and close September 2, and the program is of the usual excellent character. Among the promiennt speakers who are to be there are Dr. Charles Cuthbert Hall, president of Union Thelolgical seminary, New York City; Dr. W. W. White, President of Mont- clalr Bible school, Montelalr, N. J.; Miss Agnes Hill, general secretary of the Young ‘Womaa's Christian assoclation of India; Dr. W. F. Oldbam, secretary of the Missionary Soclety of the Methodist Episcopal church; Mr, Don O. Sheiton of the International Young Men's Christian assoclation; Miss Mary L. Babeoek, etary of th York essoclation. Rev. Robert Yost of St. Mary's avenue Congregational church addressed the Fri- day noon gospel meeting of the assoclatio which was especlally well attended. Plidges to the new bullding fund continue (o come in and it is hoped that the 32,000 to be ralsed by the assoclation members will all #00n be pledged. The assoclation feels much encouraged at the hearty endorsement re- cently given the project by the Real Es- tate Exchange and feels that It indicates the gemeral interest in their work. In the absence of the physical director, Miss Edith Baker will be at the tennis courts on Harney street on Thursday and Friday evenings to belp those who are learning to play. The attendance at the bers of South Branch are also catbuslastic tennis players and greatly appreciate the of the Brownell Hall courts so kindly allowed them for the summer.

Elizabeth Park, Anna Scott, DeLee, Patter rock, MeKittrick, B. B. Towle and Miss Ora Shinrock were among the members of the local Woman's Christian Temperance union who attended the annual convention of the Douglas county ualon at Elk City on Thursday. The party left Omaha early Thursday morning and returned Friday The abolishing of the district union and the establishment of the county union in its stead has left a number of flourishing organizations and a good many more that are ot so flourishing without the iuspiration and help they formerly received owing to the failure, so far, to organize all the counties. While the new system is doubtless an Improvement over the old county district system, giving a larger representation it does and re- ducing the territory to be covered by each organization, many of the unions will suf- fer unless the counties are organized soon. In a number of counties where this has failed unions have asked to join adjoining county organizations, and this privilege bas been granted them on conMition that they accept all the officers and rulings of that union. The program for the October meeting of the Nebraska Federation of Women's clubs is almost completed and will be issued soon. The program promises to be one of the most profitable and interesting that has yet been presented, and with all of the important busin that {3 to come up at Columbus the coming meeting bids fair to be one long to be remembered.

During the night the flood came upon the villagers and they were forced to flee to the hills, many of them in nightclothes, Four residences were swept down to the river to the Rock bridge, where they were dashed to pleces. Seventy families are left practically penniless and homeless. Utlea, & village of 700 inhabitants six miles east of here, is entirely under water.
