A DISASTROUS RAuNsTORM.
The Dam OF Lake Disappointmen
Swept Away.

Swept Away.
Special to the Floridian.
ALMA, NEB., May 26.---The worst rain
storm ever known here occurred last
night. The city is completely inundated.
The water was from two to four feet
deep. The west wall Of Simms' block
gave way under the pressure and is a to-
tai wreck. The sidewalks succumbed to
the pressure, and twenty-fv feet of the
dam of Lake disappointment was swept
away. The damage done crops has been
enormous.

COLERAIN.

We have experienced a variety OF
weather during the past week. Some OF
Of our noted trappers predict very cold
winter, owing to the heavy fur on the
pelts. Last winter the ''varments" were
so poorly clad that their pelts were con-
considered useless.
The coal trade during the past few
weeks has not been very lively, but will
probably brighten up soon.
Some of the people of this township
report the Farmers Institute at St.
Clairsville not success. Wonder why
more of onr farmers don't attend these
institutes and be benefited by them, in
stead of staying at home and pronounc-
ing them failures?
The oyster supper at RsaMartin's last
Wednesday evening, for the benefit of
the Church, was largely attended. The
Doctor and his good wife have the
"knack" of entertaining company, and
the supper was considered grand sue
cess.
A large store room is being erected at
Colerain City. The population of our
township is increasing, and there Is
room for a first-claSs store. with living
prices.
Mr.. Willard Walker one of our best
young men, took pleasure trip over to

1t is absolutely essential that in any
organization having for its purpose the
existing conditions, the loud mouthed,
the crank, and the professional politician
should be sent to the rear.
Farmers organizations do not need to
have platform wide enough to hold the
whole world. Certain things they want
and ought to have because they are
right. They want pure food laws and
want them enforced. They want the
middlemen, common carriers, specula-
tors and gamblers in the products of
their labor to stop. They want to be
placed on an equality in matters of tag
alton and all other legislative enact
ments with other classes of citizens.
They want the free pass system on
railroads prohibited absolutely. They
want the Overgrown salaries of officials
to be reduced to the same amount that
like capacity and labor would command
in the business world And they want
public expenditure to be reduced to the
level they would reach if managed by
discreet business men in their own per-
sonal affairs.
On this sort of a platform they could
meet and cooperate with all classes OF
legitimate business men or workers in
any field of operations. Then with
proper attention to their duties as citl-
zens there would be no great difficulty
in accomplishing any thing that might
be legitimate and right.
There is no propriety in paving an
Auditor $4,000 or $1,000 for the work
that the business man anywhere would
get done as well or better for half the
money, and the same thing is true of
most official positions of Importance
There is no sense in paving salareis so
large that the officer can afford to
tramp around over the country for
months and buy up half the dead beats
of the county to work in his interest, or
that will tempt candidates to wreck
themselves financially, in the same dis
reputable business in the effort to OBJ
tain such offices as has been done in this
county time and again. This whole
exhorbitant salary business should be
reformed. 1t is wrong in principle, cor
rupting in its effect upon the suffrage,
and demoralizing to the man who re-
ceives. 1t is really as rule worse in its
effect upon him, than any one else.
Just look around over this county at
the men who have held high official
positions in the last 20 years and see if
there is not too much truth i'll this
assertion. But all this class of people
are organized, all contractors, jobbers,
&C., are organized, and they meet at the
Legislature or Congress every PROPOSE
ton to reduce salaries or any other
public extravaganza with united front
and full supply of the sinews of war.
You must meet them with Organiza-
tion too. Organization strong enough
and determined enough to impress upon
legislators this fact-yOu must meet our
demands now and fully or the legislative
seats you occupy will know you no more
forever.
You must meet Commissioners, Trus-
tees, and School Boards in the same
manner, and your wishes will be re-
spected, if not because they love you
because they fear you.
