The Missouri River Flood.
OMAHA, April 10th.-The river has fallen
here about three inches. 1t was reported
stationary at Sioux City last night, and rising
there o-day, and also that it has risen over
nine feet at Yankton since yesterday after
noon; but these reports lack confirmation.
The Omaha lumbermen have been fishing
out their lumber all day with large gangs of
men, and hauling it to high ground. They
fear another rise, which would sweep all their
stock away. No Eastern trains were able to
reach the Union Pacific transfer to-day.
They, however, managed to get into their
local depots at Council Bluff, between which
and the transfer depot the distance is over
two miles, and the intervening space is
inundated to the depth of from two to four
feet. Passengers desiring to reach Omaha,
or take the Union Pacific train for the west,
were obliged TO go in small boats to the trans
fer depot the boatmen charging all the
way from 81 to 80 per trip. One man with q
small boat made $3.50 to-day. On reaching
the transfer depot the passengers, TO reach
the transfer train for Omaha, had to walk
across pontoon bridge of fiat cars for about
a quarter of mile, as there is broad and
deep stream running past the west side OF
the depot. There were comparatively
few passengers who cared to make
the passage of the double transfer.
to-day. The eastern train nearly came into
Council Bluffs over the Chicago and Rock
Island road, which they struck at Atlantic.
The passengers of the Chicago and North
western trains were transported into Council
Bluffs with wagons, having to travel two or
three miles in this way. The Union Pacific
west-bound express left Omaha this evening
at 6 o'clock, with light load. The passen-
L. ha -
Pacific express are detained here tonight.
The baggage. mail and express are being
transferred tonight, to be ready for to-
morrow afternoons east. bound trains. The
Union Pacific Hotel at the transfer is
flooded throughout the basement. The engine
fires have been put out and the gas extin-
guished. causing great inconvenience by a
suspension of business to the house.
A large portion of Council Bluffs continues
to be submerged. At least 800 persons have
abandoned their houses and are being cared
for at the Courthouse and at Bloom & Dix
on's Opera House, and are being fed at the
city's expense The business part of the city
is not inundated ALI the tracks on the fiat
are submerged, and some are badly washed
out. A great many freight cars are more or
less under water, and some have tumbled
over on their sides. a fall of the water is
being anxiously waited for by both Omaha
and Council Bluffs.
At Omaha fears are yet entertained for the
safety of the Union Pacific shops, smelling
works, lumber yards, distillery, etc, and also
for all the levee itself, as it is believed that
the falling waters, with strong currents, will
cut the ground and wash it out and under
mine the buildings tracks, etc.
1t showed all night here. The storm ex-
tended as far west as Kearney-about 20C
miles. The snow is two or three inches deep.

ing, and is hardly able now to swallow water
Her pulse is very feeble, and the heat of her
physicians hand seems to her like fire. She
is now so low that she pays no attention to
matters going on about her. The excitement
of visits of strangers seems to have reduced
her much. Her friends have the sympathy
of the community. She begins the forty

schemes as the Mansion House plot are en-
tirely without the sanction of the League,
