FLOOD WATERS SUBSIDING Oentral Railroad Grade Out to Dian Part of Oity PEOPLE TAKEN FROM HOMES BY BOATS Tilinois Railroads Beginning to R fee, Though Some of the Lines Are Still Badly Orip- pled. Flood conditions in Council Blufts were somewhat improved yesterday except in the district north of Broadway between Bixteenth and Twentleth, which was en- tirely submerged and where the water was higher than at any time since the heavy rain and overflowing of Indian creek Wednesday. From Broadway to Avenue these streets, a distance of elght blocks, everything was under water, Hundreds of houses were flooded and between forty and ffty familles had to abandon their homes and seek refuge elsewhers. Sev- eral families had to be removed in boats or wagons, the water being five to six teet deep around their homes. men at No. 2 engine house on West Broad- way did vallant service with a boat, with which they removed a number of familles to dry ground and oarried provieions and water to others who were practically im- prisoned by the water. In some of the low lying lots, of which there are a con- siderable number in this district, the water was ten feet deep. Between Sixteenth and Twentieth streets on Avenue A the water covered the motor tracks two feet deep In places and the car service between this city and Omaha was mafntained with the greatest dif- culty. At noon, when the water was still rising In this locality, it was thought that H between trict were obliteratéd and for elght blocks north of Broadway it was one large lake, dotted here and there with the houses. ously and on every side familles were to be seen moving their effects In improvised rafts or in wagons. ! Cut Rallroad Grade, About 8 o'olock in the afternoon the city councll decided that something had to be done to relleve the distressing sit- uation in the submerged district. The only feasible plan seemed to be to attempt to make an outlet for the water to the south district west of Eighteenth street mouth of Broadway. To effect this it was necessary to cut & ditch through the grade of the Illinoils Central south of Broadway after viewing the scene, time a ditch had been dug through the embankment and the water began to draln into the ditch. to the cutting through of its embankment, as it was u to the fact that about fifty feet of it be- tween Avenue A-and Avenue B had been washed out during the morning and was at that time beveral feet under wal The cutting of the grade was done under the supervision of City Engineer Etnyre. This accomplished, it was thought that the sewer through Broadway between BSeven- teenth and Bighteenth streets would be sufficlent to drain the distriot north of Broadway. Residents in the submerged district were threatening to take the matter into their rwn bands yesterday and out a ditch through Broadway, between Seventeenth and Eighteenth streets, to drain off the water, To prevent this the city council decided on outting through the grade of the Illinols Central. Resuming Train Service, Conditions in the southern part of the eity were much Improved by yesterday evening, although a large area in still un- der water. The overflow from Mosquito creek subsided somewhat during the fore- noon, and during the afternoon the waters receded. Rallroad service, while still badly demoralized, was improved, and by even- ing the Rock Island was enabled to use its main line. The Milwaukee, however, was In & badly orippled condition, and made no attempt to use its main line. Its trains\were run over the Illinols Central. The Burlington was also in & bad con- dition, and last evening was still sending its trains around by St. Joseph. Its main Iine east of the city is badly washed, and yesterday officlals stated they had no idea how soon it would be in shape to run trains over. The Northwestern was run- ning its trains over its own line almost on schedule time, as was the Illinols Cen- tral. The local passenger train No. 31 on the Rock Island, which had been stalled be- tween Underwood and Neola since Wednes- day night arrived here at 6:30 last evening over its own tracks. Trgin No. §, the fast through passenger from Chicago, due here at 12:66 p. m., arrived shortly after train No. 1. Motors Burned Out. The ditoh out through the grade of the Iiinots Central was widened to an opening | twenty fest wide by 10 o'clock last night and the water was pouring through it like mill race. Despite the vast volume of water thus drained through the cut, it ap- peared to have no evident effect on the flood north of Broadway. In fact, at 10 o'clock last night the water over the motor tracks seemed if anything higher than it was during the afterncon and the com- pany experienced the greatest diffculty in getting the cars through at this point. Be- fore midnight the effort to maintain the service between this city and Omaha had resulted in fifteen of the large motors being burned out The loss from the flood to the residents 00 | of the aistrict north of Broadway will Le particularly heavy, Very many of them ro people in extromely moderate clroum- ances and nearly all of them own gur- to | meAtion their loss by the drowning of | chiokens and piga. | “Danetown,” the district south of Six- | tesnth avenus, is another part of the oity | where the flood condition yesterday was most serious. From Sixteenth avenue to the city Mimits and in fact to Lake Manawa | the entire area bounded by Sixth street on e east and Fourteenth street on the west is under water. A number of families were compelled to abandon their homes yesterday and seek refuge with their nelgh- | bors, who were more fortunate in having thelr houses on higher ground. Dam at Manaws Breaks, The big dam at Lake Manaw oke yesterday morning shortly after § o'clock and by evening 20 feot of it had bean washed away. At 10 o'clock last night the | water in the lake had fallen over two feet | despite the lmmense volume of water which / The fire- | the street car service would have to be of | abandoned. All signs of streets in this dls- Bldewalks were floating about promiscu- to Spoon lake by way of the old Pettibone and on Elghteenth street, and this the councl), ordered done, ! Willlng hands were there and in & short The Illinols Central ralsed no objections le to use this track owing was rushing In from Mosquito creek at the other end. What was known as the little or Mosquito creek dam broke in three places and this helped materially to al- leviate the condition in the southeastern part of the city, as it offered an outlet for the waters of the creek Reports from Lake Manawa at a late hour last night showed that the resort was still under water to a depth of about two feet. The water was still coursing through Shady Grove on the east side and finding an outlet into the lake between Marks' clubhouse and the pavilion. As faf as could be learned last night but little if any meri- ous damage had been done by the flood at the resort. It is expected that when the waters subsido it will be found that the entire grounds are covered with mud, but as the season is over for this year thia will not matter much, The bulldings and grounds of the Coun- cil Blufts Rowing assoclation escaped any materfal damage and the water which had surrounded the clubhouse receded suf- ficlently last evening to permit Custodian Sharrat and family to reoccupy thelr cot- tage at the rear of the clubhouse, The motor company made no attempt to resume its service to the lake yesterday. During the afternon it sent a work train to the lnke and brought up town a number of employer and some campers who had been imprisoned thero since Wednesday. The track bstween Beventeenth avenue and the Wabash crossing is still several feet under water. Mud Remains on Streets. The work of removing the mud on Broad- way In the vicinity of the Northwestern | ralirond tracke s proceeding but slowly. | This is mainly due to the lack of means | to haul it away. All day and night men were kept at work keeping the street cur tracks open and even this was & stupen- dous jop, as the slimy substance as soon as shoveled off would slide back again. Be- twoen the Northwestern and Illinols Cen- tral tracks the mud has been plled on the north side of the street in one vast heap, which in places ls four feet high. As yot the city has made no attempt to clean the mud off Broadway east of the rallroad tracks and the street between the tracks and Ninth street is almost impassable. It was stated that Street Commissioner Guit- tar was unable to secure laborers, so great was the demand all over town for help to assist In pumping out the cellars and base- ments. 8o far the only work done by the city has been to clean the mud off a portion of the sidewalk on Broadway, to fence off the bridges on Indian creek and barricade the dangerous places where sidewalks have caved in. All slong Broadway and Bouth Main Atreet pumpa are to be seen at work drain- ing the flooded basements. Beveral large steam pumps are operating a{ the larger bufldings on Main street, where also can be seen a number of pumps operated by gasoline engines. Hundreds of men are making good wages manning the hand pumps. The debris and slimy mud depos- ited on Broadway by the overflow'of In- dian creek i{s cemmencing to smell and the business men and residents in the vicinity are fearful of an epldemic of sickness un- less some effort is made to remove it within the next few days. About midnight the police recelved word that men w: engaged In cutting the grade of Broadway and Seventeenth street in order to let out the water which sur- rounded their homes. The police hurried to the scene and arrested Leroy McGregor, D. K. Bhreaves and John Meyers, but the remainder of the party escaped. A police guard was left to see that the attempt to cut the embankment was not renewed. ‘When the officers arrived :he party had succeeded in cutting a ditch several feet deep.

It prac- tically closed this evening, though the un- finished races will be given on Saturday. Today was decidedly beautiful and the crowd was about equal to that of yesterday. It is estimated conservatively that the total attendance for the week was about 110,00 as against 114,00 last year. The receipts last year were $58,416. The recelpts thus tar fall short about $3,000 of this sum, but with the receipts from races and some un- collected amounts tomorrow it is belleved the figures of last year will be almost equaled. If there had not been a distressing rain the receipts would easily have gone up 325,000 or more above last year. The live stock judging was not com- pleted until this afternoon, hence there was no great parade of the live stock, as hed been arranged. The work of judging cattle and horses in the pavilion occupied all the time in that ring, the classes were 80 large and the work so diffioult. In the horses the finest exhibitlon was of Percherons.

Herd of Deer in Iowa, Five deer, kept by the Board of Park Commissioners at Greenwood park, are sald to have escaped from their pens in some manner and to be running at large some place in the state of Iowa, if they have pot been shot by ambitious young bunters. Deer sometimes escape, but it is claimed that they can readily be driven back to their pens If looked after at once. The five at Greenwood are sald to have escaped some time ago, and it Is feared they will never be captured. It may be a subject of investigation by the park board to ascer- tain to whose carelessnsss or neglect the deer escaped. The males, when sold to the butchs bring about §15 a plece. The females are never sold. Review Date is Fixed, Governor Cummins has fixed upon Tues- day, September 8, as the date for the review of the Fifty-fourth regiment, 1. N. G., at Clear Lake.

This club has had & limited membership of 500. It is now planned to extend the influence of ths club by doubling the membership and admitting members from all over the { state, and in this way giving the club more than # local standing.

Sherman & McConnell are recommending to their customers, as & cure for hay fever, Hyomel. It s claimed for this remedy that it stops the spasmodic paroxysms of snees- ing, thé smarting and running of the eyes and nose, and other acute symptoms of this disease. Many persons have been cured of hay fever by Hyomel and its inventors pro- tess to be able to prevent both the occur- ence of the annual attacks and to arrest the progress of the disease when in the most chronic form. Among those who have been cured by Hyomel are J. F. Forbes, chief dispateher B. & M. R.
