LOW LANDS SUBMERGED.
The Mad Rush of Missouri Water
Around Sioux City.


SIOUX CITY, Ia, April 3,-[Special Tele-
gram to the BEE. There is no change in the
situation on the river. The gorge opposite
the mouth of the Sioux river still holds, al
though the Ice is rotten. The water has
not receded and has not risen perceptibly at
Elk Point and Jefferson. 1t has spread out
further on the low lands, and farmers are re-
moving their stock farther from danger.
The greatest damage Is done along the line
of depression, northwesterly from Elk Point
to the Sioux river above the railroad bridge.
The water is very deep and flows
across the bottom with a powerful
current. 1t is this current which has
caused the great washout of the
railroad track of the Milwaukee company.
Elk Point is completely isolated, but tele-
grams received to-day by the mayor of Sioux
City say that no assistance there is needed,
but advising relief for the low-lying districts.
The flood pouring into the Sioux river threat
ened to-day TO carry out the railroad bridge.
1t has moved three feet by drift wood and
ice which has accumulated A construction
train was sent out this morning TO try TO open
the drift wood and save the bridge. The
gang has worked all day, but without sue
cess. All freight of the Milwaukee is taken
care of by the Omaha company, under an ar
rangement made to-day, and carried north TO
Sheldon, la. 1t is impossible to learn de-
tails on the low lands, because communica-
ton is almost entirely cut off.

The bazaar IN progress at the Temple hall
this week under the management of the
ladies of the German Catholic church, is
proving a great success. Last evening there
was a large attendance. The chief attrac-
ton was the charming little operetta of
"Grandpa's Birthday 1t was a simple
gathering of pleasing melodies, in
which the voices of n score or more
OF children rang out merrily in
choruses, duets, and solos. The part of the
grandfather was admirably carried out by
Mr.. Hughes, who made such q happy hit in
the recent entertainment of the Union Spy,
given by the Dodge Light Guards. The
children were trained by Mrs. Dillon, the
organist of st. Peters.
The other attractions of the baZar were not
overlooked by the crowd last evening. The
refreshment hall, the fortune-telling Gypsy
tent, the ice cream booth, ballot-boxes and
fancy tables were all patronized literally.
The ladies of st. Peters desire to publicly
express their sincere thanks for the musicG.,
services of the st. Cecilia quartette, Mrs. Ida
Neal, Misses Heating, Crofts, Fellentreter
and Smith, and Mr.. Frank Westcott.
This evening there will be a home play pre-
scented, ''The Prying Little Girl" in which
part. 1t will be under the management of
Mrs. Frank Wescott.
The German Catholics, though few in num-
bers comparatively, have worked most zeal
ously and b~ravely, and as a result have built
one of the handsomest churches in the city.
Their efforts to please the public, and place
the society on a sound financial basis, are
certainly m~eriting hearty and general sup
port.

1t is claimed by the local officers that the

There is not at thist lime any difficulty what
ever here. Trains were made up and sent

ing that the trouble viii involve them, and

Will Sell and Move,

A BEE reporter interviewed MIR. Conrad
Geise yesterday morning concerning his
willingness to sell his residence property in
the eastern part of the city, and the proposed
plan to purchase it for the permanent loca-
ton of st. Demands hospital. Mr.. Geise
said that he had heard nothing of the plan
until last Saturday, and that he fixed the
price at SIS, 900, although that would be sell
ing at a great sacrifice. He did not know
whether they would take it or not at that
price. 1t is understood, however, that out
side parties are working hard in the interest
of the sisters, and it is hoped that their
efforts will be successful.
Mr.. Geise is fast getting things in readi-
ness to start up his new brewery at Chatta-
nooga, although it will not be in full opera
ton before July or August. His son, Fred.
Geisc, left yesterday for that city, to super

how Great Minds Differ.

AS nearly as the facts in the case can be
ascertained, the caucus of the city council on
Monday afternoon was anything but a love
feast. 1t is strongly minated by parties
who ought to know that the spirit of gentle
ness and meekness was entirely wanting.
Although the session was secret, and out
siders were not allowed to witness the scene,
none of the participants express an unwilling
ness to talk on the subject. Yet they are
evidently very guarded as to what they say,
and do not desire to have the happenings
made known. Certain it is that they were
unable to arrive at any definite understand
ing In the matter of appointments for heads
of departments, and that what some of them
are pleased to term ''just a little informal
meeting to see how the other fellows stood"
revealed the fact that the 'other fellows'
stood very firmly on both feet, precisely
where it was hoped that there would be moth
ing but vacancy.
1t seems that what at first appeared to be
merely a little split in the council has devel-
oped into a huge, yawning chasm, and indi-
viduals on either side are not at all disposed
to give in, even if certain pledges by which
some of them are firmly bound could be re-
moved. 1t is understood that two of the
newly elected councilmen bound themselves
TO do so-and-so in event they were elected,
and certain interested camp followers, who
helped to boost them into office on that ac-
count, are now looking after them very
sharply to see that those promises are full
filled. The whole matter is said to hinge on
the appointment of a city clerk, although the
council is said 10 be equally divided as to O
chief Of the fire department.
Although some of the aldermen are ex-
ceedingly wary of stating their choice for
appointee to either Of these Offices, it is
understood that Aldermen Weaver, Lacy and
Metcalf are steadfastly in favor of retaining
Squire Burke as city clerk, and that Alder
men Bellinger, Knepher and Waterman are
firmly pronounced in their preference for
Robert Huntington. In the fight for chief of
the fire department, it is stated that Alder
man B%ellinger is inclined to waver and is not
especially interested, though very decided in
the battle for city clerk. Friends of Walters
and Templeton each claim Bellinger is on
their side, but many think that he will try to
effect a trade, and if he can secure a Walters
man to help him GUST Squire Burke, will in
turn join the Walters side and bounce TEN.

The postponement of these appointments
for n week gives ample time for work, and
there is no question but that much of it will
be done.
