Some of cur farmers are, we un
derstand, opposed to the voting OF
100000 bonds to the Rock Island r.
r. Now, To such we want to say this
that while this paper is supporting
county bonds to this road, it does so
because it believes that the building
of this road into this county sof such
great importance that to lose it would
operate to the prejudice of every citi-
zen Of the county for years. 1t is our
sincere belief that the sum of 5000
is a mere bagatelle in comparison with
the benefits that viii accrue to the
county from having that road within
its borders. Elsewhere we publish a
letter written by the couney attorney
Of Jewell county to one of our citi-
zens. He estimates that 20 miles of
road would counter-balance in taxes
the $4,000 bonds and interest. In
stead of 90 miles, we will have II or
As miles of the road. So that if the
estimate made in that letter be cor
rect. we will much more than receive
back the 500, ZOO and interest. We
would call attention to this fact.-that
the building of the Line DIN and Colo
RADIO Il. r. through our county was
never begun until the Rock Island
was about ready to submit a PROPOSE
ton to our county. While we, in no
wise, know the intentions of the Lin
coin and Colorado people, tits thought
by many that were bonds to the Rock
Island defeated. work on the l.. and
G. road would at once be discontinu-
ed. This appears reasonable, as the
l.. and c. road is but q branch of the
U. p, which has already one road H.
to this territory. So soon as the Rock
Island strikes a town. freight rates
are at once reduced. This is the tes-
timony of all places east of us. Judge
Pratt, who lately made visit to Col
by, says that at Norton since the Rock
Island began operating to that city,
freight rates have been greatly reduc-
ed The difference in the freight on
coal alone in direct reduction of its
price will more than equal the interest
tax which our citizens would
have to bear. 1t should be borne i'll
mind that one of the main objects of
the c., X. and n. Ry. into Colorado
is to seek tie rich coal fields of that
state. No other road, contemplating
building through cur county, has that
for It's object, and if we get the Rock
Island, our coal supply at reasonable

time. i. is true, we have little or no
produce to ship out. but that we hope
to overcome in few years. At the
present time, however, we have ev-
erythins to ship in, and we pay exhor-
bitant freights on everything shipped,
e
and as long as We hare no competing
line of railway to the U. 2. we will
continue to do so. For example, one
Of our coal merchants purchased q
ear load of coal of 20 tons, paying
therefor 1890; it came to Colby, and
the freight on that car Of ceal was
$1,000. the freight being nearly Eve
dimes the price Of The coal. How long

The Rreak i'm the Sny Levee.

QUINCY, Ill.,, May 1S.-With the break
ing of the Sny levee yesterday q reign OF
devastation and utter ruin set in.
In all five breaks occurred through
which poured vast food of waters
sweeping every thing before 1t. Houses
were wrecked in all directions as the
food swept onward deluging farm after
farm until over fifty thousand acres OF the
richest farming land in the Mississippi
valley are submerged
The territory now under water extends
from twenty to thirty miles along the
river, and from four to six miles wide.
Heavy rain has been pouring down all
day, adding fresh discomfort TO the nun
dreds of families rendered destitute and
homeless by the floods.
HANNIBAL, Mo-, May 1S.-Eight distinct
breaks in the levee, through which i'm
mense volumes of water are pouring in
upon the possessions OF the Sny island
farmers, are reported this morning.
Many of the farmers have immense
fields of wheat that had promised an
abundant yield, but are now entirely
ruined. The farmers generally had ample
notice and had removed their household
goods and stock to higher ground or to
this city.
There were a number of narrow escapes,
however, and man named Robert King,
who was working on the l;yee, is missing,
and his fate is unknown.
The loss occasioned by the break, and
the consequent devastation, can not fall
short of three-quarters of a million dol

CHICAGO, May 1S.-The Tribune says an
attempt is being made to have a general
boycott declared against the Burlington
road. The first significant move by the
strikers and their sympathizers was the
calling of mass meeting, which was par
ticipated in by railroad employees from
every road centering in Chicago. An ac-
count of the meeting has never been made
public. Chairman Hoge explained that
the meeting was called to protest against
the carrying of revolyers by the
new employees of the 90" 1t
is understood, however, that the
preliminary steps were taken towards the
formation of an amalgamation of the
railroad men from all the roads running
into Chicago. The second step was taken
Yesterday when, in response to call is
sued by Chairmen Hoge and Murphy, the
general grievance committee of the two
Brotherhoods met in secret session at the
National Hotel. Every division OF the
road was represented, and Chief Arthur
and Grand Master Sergeant were present.
AS a result of the conference call was
issued summoning all the leading West
ern roads grievance committee TO Chl-
cago. When questioned about this move
Mr.. Arthur said: 'You will have to wait
