THE RAIN.
The Heaviest Rain Storm Ever known
Here.
Damage 10 Bridges, Railroads, &c.

By far the heaviest rain storm ever cxpe-
ricnced here since the settlement Of Kansas,
visited this locality on Saturday and Satur-
dav night. The rain fell in torrents, except
a, short intervals, for nearly tweniy-four
hours, and to the depth of four and half
inches. Greeks were raised 10 flood, and
an amount of damage done that cannot now
he estimated.
IN THE CITY.
Three Mile Creek filled its banks, and the
ives: end Of the old wooden bridge at Shaw
nee street was carried away, leaving chasm
about TWENTY-FIVE feet wide. A colOred man
named Green OIden, who lives on the hill
west of the creek, was passing over the struc-
tire when it gave way, and was carried with
ii down the raging flood. Hiscries attracted
the attention of people in the vicinity, who
rescued him with considerable difficulty.
Mr. Fred Hunt crossed the bridge, in his
buggy, only half hour before the structure
gave way Workmcn were making it pass
able for footmen yesterday. Our reporter
called at the City Engineers Office, yesterday,
and was informed that no other damage to
public works had bccnsdiscovcred.
RAILROADS.
Not a wheel has been turned on the Leav-
cnwurth Branch of the Kansas Pacific since
Saturday night; but ii is thought trains will
again to-day.
On the Missouri Pacific there is no damage
known, except between the upper and lower
dcpotS. where there are some slides, which
will he repaired 80 that trains can run as
usual to-day. \ train came through TO the
lower depot on Sunday, on time.
On the Lcavenworth, Atchison Il North
western, The only damage done is the wash
inS out Of the bridge over Owl Creek, which
occurred soon after the down train passed
over i: on Saturday night. Trains will run
to-day, passengers being transferred over the
break The bridge will, of course, bc re-
placed at once.
Trains on the Missouri Valley have not
been delayed, and are running as usual.
SALT CREEK.
Salt Greek was higher than for five or six
wears. Fences near the bank were washed
away, and the water was a foot deep in Mr..
I. J. Illness house, at the West end of the
bridge on the military road. Five pigs were
drowned in that vicinity. Nearly all the
farmers along the creek lost fencing.

NERVOUS HEADACHE, LvER COMPLAINT,
&c.-The Brain being the most delicate and
sensitive of all our organs, is necessarily more
or leSs affected by all our bodily ailments.
A headache il often the first symptom of q
serious disease. If the nervous system is AZ
ected, there Is always trouble at It's source in
the pericranium. = Andjt may be here re-
marked that ~ the nervous fibre pervades
the entire frame, no part Of the physical
structure can be effected without the nerves
suffering sympathetically. Liver complaint
Of every type effects the brain. Sometimes
the effect is stupor, confusion Of ideas,
hypOchOndriasis; sometimes persistent or
periodical headache. In any case, the best
remedy that can be taken is PLANTATION
BIrrERs. In headache proceeding from in
digestion or biliousness, or both, the
stOmachic and ambitious properties Of the
preparation will soon relieve the torture, BY
removing the cause. If the complaint is
purely nervOus-in other words, If it has
originated in the nervous system, and il
not the result Of sympathy, the BrrERs will
lie equally efficaciOn. eOd&w.

By the last change Of time on the Leaven.
worth, Lawrence & Galveston Railroad, the
mail train leaves Lawrence for the south be-
fore the train gets in from this city, delaying
all mails from the northeastern part of-the
State to Southern Kansas, one day. We can
see no reason why an hours delay could
not he made in the Galveston train in order
to accommodate so large and widespread an
interest. 1, is to be hoped the Superintend-
cnt of that road will make this connection.

ready. to move into the 6eA u the wed
provinces Of the Empire. The story of a
secret treaty between Prussia and Russia rel
alive 10 the Eastern question has heen re-
newed at Vienna with much feeling. II il
now alleged that in the event Of q peace, hu-
initiating to France, Prussia has bound her
self By = eecre4: treaty, signed At Wiesbaden,
in July last, between GortschakOff and Bis
mark, to support the revision by Europe OF
the treaty Of Paris and the liberation to Rus
sia Of the Black Sea with the Dardanelles.
This Is expected to be the price
demanded by Russia for permitting
Germany to move her forces untrammelled
upon France. 1t is further affirmed that, a.
Russia does not care to leave the fulfilment of
this treaty to the close of the war, she is now
insisting that in a treaty with France, Prus-
STA shall not secure either fortreses or any
additional reinforcement Of her strength on
this side Of the Rhine. The Russian diplo-
matists regard it az essential to the safety Of
Poland and the progress of the Russian En-
pire westward, that Germany should be left
more or less exposed to peril from the side
Of France. In short, it is believed in Vienna,
and signs are that it is beginning to be be-
lieved in London, that Russia, having aided
Germany thus far in the. war until herprimary
object, the prostration of France, has been
accomplished even more completely than
was ever hoped or expected, has, meanwhile,
been preparing herself quietly. and is now
prepared to exert such a pressure ON both
combatants As shall secure to her all her OBJ
jects in the East without imperiling her
European weight.

REMARKS.
The peculiar feature of the month was the
unprecedented fall of rain, amounting to over
nine inches. Such a result was unlocked for
here, and has seldom occurred. One storm
Of twentv-four hours ending on the morning
Of the 30th., preciPitated four and quarter
inches.
The temperature was high; four degrees
above the mean for thirty-four years.
The first frost occurred on the 18TH,
which was but partial, and confined to pc
culiar localities, and up to the evening of
the 30th. tender exotic plants and shrubs
remained fresh and green i'm the gardens and
lawns of the city.
The last frost in the spring occurred on the
morning of the 2lst of April, consequently
we had Isl days without frost sufficient to
make its effects visible on vegetation, and 1913
days without killing frost, equal to six
m"nths and thirteen days.
Aurora borealis occurred here on the
nights of the sd, 9th and 18th.
ECONOMICAL RESULTS.
In consequence of the high thermal range,
and the frequent rains, the season had much
the appearance of spring.
on the 18th, wild Strawberries commenced
blooming for second crop, violets made
their appearance, and the hollyhock put
forth new buds.
The strcns plants of the early sown wheat
had commenced jointing, but no damage is
anticipated, as the farmers are in the habit
OF sowing an abundance of seed, and enough
remains 10 make an abundant crop.
