The Sioux City Journals received
yesterday bring full reports of the floods
;along the Missouri. At Bismark the
river was four miles wide. The lower
part of Yankton was under water and
all the >heats there are stranded or
crushed. lie greater part of Vermil-
lion has teea destroyed. The country
around EN-: and Jefferson is in
undated for q distance of twenty miles.
The homes off1;;ssoo people are flooded.
They have been-sLut in unable to get
away by heats asGiE@ to thin ice over
the water. At lastGccounts the gorges
were giving way, and Sioux City was
thought out Of danger.
1EE SNCW FALL.
Th6 Pioneer Press publishes some in
teree1ing figures showing the snow fall
ofd"is extraordinary zinter as compar-
ed with former ones. Thus the mean
fer nine years preceding the winter Of
1881 was 40 inches reduced to wat
.er. Ct aho4a% ,. - feet ofsnow, as it takes
r.syts71y il foot Of snow to make one inch
vpf water. The mean for 10 years end
Idng 1867 was only 1872. But the un-
rprecedented winter just clssing, shows
as2mean Snow fall of 9.6s inches of wat
: er, or 9: IS feet Of snow. This is about
four times the average of the nine pre-
<:ceding years and six times that of
1the nineteen years nding1856-7.
Compared with eastern localities on
about the same latitude, Minnesota
shows a much less winter precipitation
'than those on the Atlantic slope, that
~ie, the Minnesota snow fall is on the
average less than one-Sixth that of
Maine, and from one-fourth to one-fifth
that Of Vermont, New 23&mpshire and
Northern New York. The mean win
ter.fall at Portland, Maine, is nearly IL
feet Of snow, and at Albany, New York,
ever S>feet.

Ogle you're a snide. You know that
It is only small portion of the commu-
nifty and Of the churches even that the
ADVANCE has alluded to as fanatics.
Pharisees, hypocrits, etc. We referred
to the Crisseyites, who introduced Com
stockisln into Worthlngton; who bull
dozed the whole town to make senti-
ment on their side; who denounced our
best citizens as ''whiskey men" il they
dared to d!sapprove, however mildly.
Of the methods Of the fanatics; who set
their women and children on to walk
the streets and pack the court room in
their interest and to ''snub" every man
who did not agree with them; who went
about and selected jury in their inter-
est; who raised the cry that our sheriff
could not be trusted to select jury.
who threatened county officers and, in
fact, everyone else who dared to express
an opinion adverse to their proceedings:
these are the ones, your friends and
hackers whom you so glibly defend, that
we alluded to IS fanatics. You know
large proportion of church people
and Of the ladies Of the community are
with us. and that two thirds of the yot-
ers OF the village are with us also.
We expect yon to feel sore over your
defeat. That village election was a
most emphatic condemnation of the
whole set and their methods, and an
emphatic endorsement OF our course in
codemning your set, and you feel it
clear down into your boots. The cha.
grin, transportation. modification and
the threats made by your set the day
after the election, showed how meal,
you all felt, and your studied efforts
to inisrepresent the ADVANCE are sim.
ply the newspaper expression of vour
humiliation: and defeat.
