OMAHA, JUNE CIV. c. Starkey,
editor of the Pawnee Republican, ar
| rived here to-day on the first train out
| of Pawnee county since the flood,
which has inundated that county since
last Saturday. He says the whole
southern country was flooded by the
rising of the Nemaha river, caused by
q heavy and. extensive rain storm.
John Berg's family, living near Gin
cinnati, Pawnee county, were all
drowned except himself, at 6 o'clock
on Sunday evening. The flood COM
PEELED them to leave their house in
small boat for the neighboring hills.
Berg put his wife and four children,
ranging in age from eighteen months
to eleven years, in the boat, and sent
his hired man with them across the
Smith fork of the Nemaha river, the
understanding being that Berg was to
remain behind and the boat return for
him. When about two-thirds across
the stream the boat was carried
against some trees and upset, and the
mother and four children were
drowned The man who was with
them caught the limb of tree and
clung there until midnight, when he
was rescued. All the bodies except
that of the baby, have been recovered,
and the funeral took place Yesterday.
Berg has been completely Frustrated
since the fatal occurrence. At Bakers
ford, seven miles above Cincinnati, ,an
old man named Aker and his wife
were drowned while trying to escape
from their submerged house, and in
the same immediate vicinity a Bl-
hefnian family of ten persons under
took to reach a place of safety and
seven were drowned. Their names are
unknown. One Of the women was
saved by tying herself to Il tree, wh' re
she renal. ed for eighteen lours
When rescued she was nearly dead,
and it was with great difficulty that
she was revived. 1t is reported that
two men were drowned in Long
Branch creek, near Table Rock. This
shows sixteen persons drowned in
Pawnee county, beside the previous
reports giving accounts of the drown
ing of four or five more in other local
tiles in Southern and Southeastern
Nebraska. Considerable damage to
live stock is reported, more particu-
larly among hogs. The crops are in
jured to some extent, while the vast
quantity of corn in crib is thoroughly
soaked and ruined. The damages to
crops, buildings, household goods, live
stock and railroads is immense,
amounting to many hundreds of thou
sands OF dollars. The flood has now
subsidized and order is being brought
out of chaos.

OCEAN HORRORS.
TtUenty-Fire LiUes Lost by the Stnk-
ing of the Ship 1Faitord, by Col
lision, off Portland.

LONDON, June 24.-The passenger
vessels Huronui and Waitora, of the
New leland Shipping company, were
i'm collision off Portland Friday night.
The Waitora sank in two minutes
and twenty fivepersons weredrowned.
The Huronui Immediately launched
be ats and rescued sixteen persons
who were struggling in the water.
Among these was lady saloon pas
sen"er, to whom sailor, also saved,
had given his life belt. Two other sa-
loon passengers were also saved. All
the second class and steerage Eassen-
gers were lost. The captain of the
Waitora was dragged aboard the HUI
ronui with the aid of ropes. The two
vessels left London together on Fri
day. The Huronui struck the Waito-
RI end on, just in front of the saloon
on the starboard side. Survivors state
that no crash was heard but the side
of the Waitora gave way like card
board. More passengers might have
been saved had brig and steamer
seen near by needed the Waitora's sig
nal of distress. The Waitora was an
iron ship of S33 tons, built in 1868.
The Huronui is also an iron ship.

MISSISSIPPI RISING.

ALTON, June 22.-The river rose five
inches in the last twenty-four hours.
It is spreading wider and wider over
the bottom lands opposite, and below
the city is increasing the work of de-
struction every hour. Skiffs are hour
ly arriving here loaded with the house
hold effects of the drowned out resi-
dents of the bottoms. The water is
now above the flood of 1881 and is still
rising. The heavy rains of last night
will increase the floods. The Alton
road is running numerous trains load
ed with rocks and sprouts to repair
breaks and strengthen the dikes. The
point of greatest danger is at Venice.
At Helena and st. Louis the Miss
issippi is rising four inches per day.

CROPS.
The Great Wheat Gr0Wer on the
Prospects Of the Spring Crop IN
Minnesota, Dakota ana Wis-
cOnsin-Ihe Outlook for
Prices.

w. f. Dalrymple, the wheat king
in conversation with a reporter
strongly intimated the belief that the
current year will be profitable one
to wheat growers in the northwest.
He says an enormous crop of spring
wheal has been planted, the acreage
sown being at least fifty per .cent
greater than last year. The harvest
prospects he now pronounces as better
than they were at this time last year,
and an increase in the average yield
per acre will not surprise him. With
in the past few weeks he has passed
through large part of Dakota, Mill
nesota and Wisconsin, and passing
his opinion Oh what he has himself
seen, he states that the condition of
the spring wheat in general i'll the
states named is very good, AS to the
outlook for prices, Mr.. Dalrymple
thinks that as encouraging to growers
as the present prospects of the good
yield. He says wheat will bear good
prices on the coming crops, because
the general shortage of the winter
wheat will not be fully made up by
the increased yield of spring wheat.
of what he is doing himself
in the wheat growing line this year,
on the great Dalrymple farm, he said:
''We have 2S, 900 acres in wheat, and
? 900 in oats and barley. Last year we
planted little less than that
"How many acres less?" asked the
reporter.
"Oh, about two or three thousand
ess."
The great Dakota cultivator speaks
IF 5000 acres in wheat as an ordinary
armer would of a little melon patch.

Kerosene Explosions.

AS coal oil Is and will for some
time continue to be the principal
illumination for family residences, it
is proper to remind the people OF
the dangers as well as benefits re-
sulting from its use. A great many
fatal accidents happen from trying
to pour a little kerosene on the fire
to make it kindle better, also by
pouring oil into lamp while it is
lighted. Nest persons suppose that
it is the kerosene itself which ex.
plodes, and that if they are very
careful to keep the oil itself from
being touched by the fire or the
light there will be no danger. But
this Is not so. If a can or lamp is
left about half full Of kerosene oil
the oil will dry up-that is, "evap-
crate" a little, and will form, by
mingling with the air in the upper
part, a very explosive gas. You
cannot see the gas any more than
you can see air. But if it is dis
turbed aud driven out, and blaze
reaches it, there will be a terrible
explosion, although the blaze did
not touch the oil. There are several
other liquids used in houses and
workshops which will produce an
explosive vapor in this way. Ben
zine is one: burning fuidis another
and naptha, alcohol, ether or chloro.
form may do the same thing.

for each purifier being carried to the
corresponding purifier on the differ

floor, one elevator line, with a main
drive for the attic, with twenty-five
stands of elevators on it, thirteen
stands running to the basement. The
flour and seal ping reels are all driven
from the main line. The counter
line shaft has three elevators on it.
one taking the wheat into the mill,
and the other two carrying the tail
lngs from the flour reels.
NOTES.
The mill will be capable of
handling 700 bushels of grain daily.
The flour production will be $50
barrels daily, equal to 800 sacks or
10000 pounds. The whole of Weber
county will be unequal to keeping
this colossal concern in operation,
in consequence of which Messrs.
Peery q Mack, as grain, milling
and honr merchants, will enter the
market and expect to offer steady
market for grain produced in San
pete, Utah, Salt Lake, Davis, Weber,
Sum nit, Morgan, Box Elder and
Cache counties.
There are 10000 pounds of cast
ings used in the mill. While
the building is very high, there
is not one inch of valueIess
space. AS Mr.. Peery tritely puts it,
"fhe mill was built to fit the ma
chinery; the machinery was not
made to fit the mill
The work is under the superVis-
ion of Mr.. NJ. F. Cooper, of Chicago,
sent here by the Gratiot company
for the purpose.
Every man employed in connec-
ton with the machinery is an ex-
pert in his especial branch, and
travels from one place to another
for no other purpose than doing the
particular work in mill for which
he has qualified as an expert. Thus
one man has complete charge of
hanging the shaftings. and so on,
Mr.. Cooper, however, having super
vision over all.
The mill will be operated by a
44-inch Leffel turbine wheel; the
machinery requires 75-horse power
to operate it; and while, as a rule,
water power will be employed, an
engine will also be utilized in case of
necessity, so that there need be no
occasion for a cessation of labor be-.
cause of lack of power.
A large and fine pond is to be
built, and fall of sixteen feet OBJ
tanned.
The cost of the mill is yet uncer-
tain, but it Will be infinitely greater
than any mill that has ever yet been
put up in the Territory.
The Gratiot system is the latest
and considered the finest system of
the day, and as this is the first mill
the company has erected west of
the Missouri river, they will natur-
ally be DESTROYS of making it mag
nifcent structure.
1t is to be ready for operation in
about month, when this new and
magnificent mill will show dehn-
itely what it can do. 1t required a
great deal Of nerve to go into such
an undertaking, but both Mr.. Peery
and Mr.. Mack are noted for their
pluck and enterprise; and both be-
ing men of experience as millers,
there is no question whatever as to
the success of the undertaking.

THE PANAMA CANAL.

According to the officers of the
Panama Canal Company in New York
City, the work on the Panama Canal
is going on satisfactorily. There are
now about 5000 men at work. More
than half the line is now under con
tract, and the canal company is also
at work upon other parts One of
the contracts embraces about seven
miles on the Atlantic side, and anoth-
er about the same on the Pacific side.
Both these contracts are with Ameri
can companies. The work of excava
ton on both sides will soon be under
way. Three dredges are now at work.
and the largest dredSe i'll the world
is now at sea on the way to the 18th
mus A number of miles Of side
track have been bnilt connecting with
the Panama Railroad, leading out to
places selected for the deposit of ex-
cavated rock. earth, etc. 1t has been
found necessary to construct a new
harbor at the outlet of the canal into
the Atlantic, about three miles from
the harbor at Aspinwall, SO as to fur
nish protection to vessels connected
with and navigating the canal. This
is nearly completed. Such American
machinery as has been sent to the
isthmus has given great satisfaction
Besides machinery, many supplies
have been and will be sent from this
country. Already i'll the purchase of
Panama Railroad stock, and for other
purposes. there have been nearly S25,-
100000 in gold paid by the canal com
pany to citizens o. the United States.
