Special Dispatches to THE MORNING CALL.

COUNCIL BLUFFS, June A deyastat-
ing cloudburst early this morning consti-
tutes the third terrific storm that has visited
this section this week. A nonpareil Under
wood special states about 2 O'Clock this morn-
ing cloud burst some miles north of there,
nearly over Mosquito Creek. When day
broke the lower and western part of the
town presented a pitiful plight. Scores OF
dwellings were totally wrecked, while 9TH
ers were twisted from their foundations.
at noon the waters Of Mosquito Creek reg
istered twenty-five feet above high-water
mark. In the lower parts of the city houses
stood in ten feet of water. Several wash
outs occurred on the railroads, and many
bridges were swept away.
There were many narrow escapes from
drowning. A large number of cattle and
hogs are drowned. The total loss in Under
wood and vicinity aggregates Sl5o0o0.
At Weston, village seven miles below
Underwood, and on Mosquito Creek. the
damage is not less great The best part of
the town is under from five to fifteen feet
of water. A line of corn-cribS containing
100000 bushels are under water, and will
probably be total loss.
Heavy losses of cattle and sheep are re-
ported. The total loss about MestOn will
reach 100000.
Further advices from further up the val
ley at Nicola and as far as Peru show how
the storm ragged with savage effect.
The flood on Mosquito Greek, which emp
ties into the Missouri at this point, reached
Council Bluffs at noon to-day. The river is
eight feet above high-water mark tonight
and still rising. The valley, which is a
mile wide. is under water to an average
depth of fifteen feet. The indications are
that this valley, for distance of 30 miles,
is submerged. 1t will be five days before
trains can leave or enter the city, as the
roads are washed out for distance of
twenty miles. The entire damage is esti-
mated at 100000. No loss of life has yet

EDUCATIONAL MOVEMENT.
Conference for the Improvement CT the Con
dition of Colored People.

dition of Colored People.
MoHoNK LAKE On. ", June A ne
gro conference opened here this morning
with large number of distinguished men
from all parts of the country present The
gathering is the first Of its kind and was
called to consider the question of Christian
iZing and educating the colored people.
Ex-President X. B. Hayes was elected
President. The topic for the morning was
Industrial EducatiOn-What 1t Is and
What 1t OughttO Be-" General Armstrong
of the institute opened the discussion, fol-
lowed by Rev. DR.. Allen. Secretary of the
Presbyterian Board of Missions, and Rev.
A. +. Raird, Secretary of the American Mis-
sionary Association.
General Hayes said the American people
had a grave and Indispensable duty to per-
form with respect to millions of men and
women among our c0untrymeD, whose an
cestors our fathers brought from Africa to
be held in bondage here in America. 1t
may be justly said in the deepest sense of
the words, we are indeed the keepers of our
brothers in black. Education and religion
using these words in the broadcast
sense-if faithfully, wisely and persistently
brought home to these people, would be
found III good time amply adequate to lift
the African up to the full stature of Ameri-
can manhood. Upon the Constitution and
laws of the nation and States, and upon
their administration the welfare of the
negro, ike that OF their felloW-cltiZens,
largely depends This wide area of duty
and of effort belongs to the domain of prac-
tical craftsmanship. 1t will be explored,
investigated, discussed and dealt with by
those who make and those who execute the
laws, State and national by the public
press and by the political parties. These
agencies, guided by their sense of duty, and
supported by public opinion, we may hope
will. in the long run, be adequate to the
responsibilities devolyed upon them. Our
Mohonk Conference accepts the less con-
spicuous but hardly less grave and influen-
tial place of employing forces which con-
Germ the educational, benevolent and
religious side of the question.
