interest was manifested. In fact, the

purpose of the special information in re-
gard to the possibilities of the govern.

Priests rapids on the Upper Columbia.
Major Powell, of the geological sur
yey, expressed himself in regard to
Yakima valley as of the opinion that at
no point in the Uuited States had it
been better demonstrated that irriga-
tion is an important factor In the dense
population of the west than here at
North Yakima. Senator Stewart also
said that at no place on his entire trip
had he found such wonderful exposi-
tion of the benefits of irrigation as here
at North Yakima. He believed the the
ory of Major Powell was better explained
here, where le saw a town situated i'm a
grove of irrigated trees, supported by an
irrigated country, than anywhere else.

SEEING TALMAGE.
UaIf an Hour with the Distinguished
Pulpit Orator.

Rev. n. Dewitt Talmagc arrived In
this city yesterday at noon for the pur-
pose Of filling lecture engagement en-
tered into some months ago. The dis
tinguishcd Brooklyn divine is making a
transcontinental tour, taking in all the
considerable cities via the Pennsylvania
railroad route from the cast to Chicago,
and the Northwestern cities via the
Northern Pacific from st. Panl and Min
neapois. He lecturcd in Helena Mon
day evening last, and goes from here to
Tacoma,
He was met at the station here by
Prof Lasher, president of the Methodist
college, and escorted there for dinner.
After nap in the afternoon, he took a
stroll about the streets with friend,
and filed his lecture engagement last
evening. He is accompanied on his
tour by his son, young man 20 or 22
years of age.
A representative of the REVIEW called
upon him in the evening at the college.
II Is a matter of surprise to many that
the distinguished gentleman bears his
age so we'll. Although somewhat above
middle age, IL is difficult to realize that
the sInooth-faced gentleman whose head
and face shows no trace of gray, has car
ried national reputation for nearly a
quarter of a century. His forehead has
probably been extending upward on the
dome, but fair growth of brown hair,
by 81 skillinl parting, prevents any wanton
display and preserves the natural mod.
esty of the dome and also shields its
bushes. Mr.. Talmage has n singularly
pleasing, open and frank countenance,
conspicuously set in which is
very large and finely formed
set of teeth, which have evidently
never been tampered with by indiges-
tion or dental instruments. He i'm
presses a stranger as one who sees and
enjoys the bright and good things of
life, and who habitually disposes Of the
gloomy side as readily as the key on an
electric light circuit can be made to dis
pei the darkness of night. His genial
presence would transform a hypochon.

had never presented.itself to Wis II this

fore the recent fire.

to obtain an idea of its widespread char
acter, and of the severe loss TO which
the city has been subjected But am
glad to note the cheerfuilness with
which the people have undertaken the
task of rebuilding, and the encouraging
progress already made in that direction

lore. The energy shown Is wonderful,
indeed, and very gratifying"

Southeastern Nebraska Visited with
Heavy Rains.

LINCOLN, Neb., Aug. 4-Heavy rains
have swelled the streams in southeastern
Nebraska to an unusual height Rail.
road traffic Is considerably interrupted.
Much damage was done to property and
the A. ~ n. railroad is under water he
tween Firth and Table Rock and at Te.
cumseh the rise in the river drove many
people from their homes. At Beatrice
on the Blue river houses on the bottom
lands were flooded, the people escaping
in boats
At Lincoln the Northeastern tracks
have been washed away three miles west.
At 10 +. NJ. one or two Union Pacific
bridges between this city and West Lin
coin were in great danger. Salt creek
and the salt basins are one great lake,
and the water has shown no signs of
subsiding. From 300 to 500 houses are
Hooded and the people have moved out
of danger. The city will promptly ar
range to shelter and feed all in the ward
school buildings. About 400 people are
being cared for in this way and two of
the ten railways leading out of Lincoln
are blocked. The railroad yards are
only partially submerged, and trains are
handled as usual.
Many narrow escapes from drowning
are reported. There are rumors of one

fense, asked the court to note an excep-
tion on behalf of Sullivan.

van gives six names of the grand Jury
men as witnesses, as they Wore at tue
