cELEBRArloN DEMONSTRATION.
A Big Pyrotcchnic Fourth Of July Picnic
Propos d.

Reference was made ia the EAGLE short
time since to some bills which were being
printed and scattered throughout this Sec
tion of the state and in Oklahoma, an
ncunciug that a rousi1g celebration was
in contemplation for the Fourth of July,
to be of such a character as would attract
a great crowd. 1t is to be free for all,
with music and the usual accompanl-
ments. to which is to be added a long list
of prizes for various kinds of amateur and
professional contests. The idea of the
promoters Is big crowd from the outside,
that the occasion may Prove gala day for
home folks and for everybody. Several
splendid and some valuable prizes have
been arranged for, independent of any
help from the citizens of Wichita or its
business men, but the active managers
feel that to make it what it ought to be In
the Way of an attraction, they must have
little encouragement. They are convinced
that there will be no trouble in bringing
thousands to the city on that day II they
Can but carry out tie program and be
ready TO make good their promises. The
printing aud distribution of the big iilu.
minated posters is being delayed until
they can ascertain how much the business
and public spirited men OF the city are ln-
terested. If the demonstration Is under
taken it must be made "a success, for tie
city cannot afford TO invite the people OF
surrounding towns and country to a fake.
They should have their moneys worth
aud u pleasant day. There are no celebra-
tious proposed within hundred miles OF
more than local character. SO that there
is nothing in the way of a big time provid-
ing little money and proper management
are forthcoming.
The Wichita daily eagle., 1894-06-13

At 2:55 this morning when an EAGLE re
porter visited the Arkansas river ior ehe
las. time during the night IL was IN
serious condition.
The water was steadily rislog anu tne
indications were that it would De over ils
banks in many places before morning.
Sunday morning last the EAGLE propne-
sled tie anticipated rise for Tuesday. IL
came on schedule time. At Il o'clock yes
teraav the swell became noticeable. Each
succeeding wave went farther OUT on the
shore than the one before it. Sticks were
notched and stuck at che water edge and
il did not take very long for the notches TO
disappear.
By o'clock il had risen eight inches
higher than it was at noon. lt seemed TO
stand still till nearly 10 o'clock when 1t
went up another inch, and gradually but
slightly rose till midnight when it came
TO another stand still till about O'Clock
when il began to rise rapidly.
i special dispatch from Hutchinson TO
the EAGLE stated that high wave struck
there at noon yesterday. Last night a
special from Mt. Hope stated it struck
there about o'clock. This is the rise that
manifested itself here at 300 this morning.
The rise that set in here at noon yesterday
was not noticed at Hutchinson or at Mt
Hope, and hence the opinion that il did
not come from the mountains or it would
be noticed there. The presumption is,
The Wichita daily eagle., 1894-06-13
however, that the first tide came through

however, that the first tide came through
these pieces after dark night before last
and was not noticed. The rain that causes
this rise occurred in two parts In the
mountains about twelve hours apart and
hence the two rises came here twelve hours
apart, or thereabouts.
The last rise crowded itself over the river
banks at Hutchinson nesr the Santa he
railroad bridge, and touched the highest
water mark on record there. 1t did no
damage. however, as the citizens were ap-
praised of the approach in time TO be pre-
pared for it. Many families moved out and
elevated their household goods.
About o'clock the river at this point
dashed over the banks at the foot OF West
Morris street and the stream that
ran in upon the level commons then
was like a mill-race. 1t gradually
kept swelling till it reached the rear ends
of the lots that front on Water street,
going into a part of the property of Bob
Carson At the Lewis street bridge, or "a
short distance from If, it overfiowed the
banks and rose till it reached Barney
Lewis harm. 1t also backed up on the
south side of Lewis street bridge so that
ihs end of that structure is now fully l50
feet within the water line. II has not,
however. gone over the approach TO the
bridge and consequently the street Is In
good shape, so far,
The flood also jumped the bank hatf
way between Morris street and the Wichi-
ia and Western bridge so that all that
little wooded valley down there has been
transformed into lake where the boys

AT AUGUSTA.
The Big Flood in the Walnut Has Gone Dow


The big flood in the Walnut has sub
sided. OF course there Is considerable
water in the stream yet but il is confined
between the banks Of the river aud has
plenty of room there.
AT Augusta the rise was about twenty
two feet, but fell about sixteen inches
short of the rise that was there five years
ago this summer.
Sunday night the Walnut at that point
was estimated to be a mile and a ha!f
wide The people were prepared for 1t,
however and did not suffer the loss they
would have suffered if they had not pre-
pared.
Sunday morning message was received
from III Dorado through the railway COM
pauy informing the Augustians OF the
rise, and they Immediately set to work
taking that stitch in time that the world
talks so much about. In what is known
as Brooklyn, the low residence part OF the
city, the good people put chairs under their
beds and then piled their household prop
erty on the beds. This is how they saved
their carpets and other Manageable goods.
There were some things. however, they
could not stow away and these were wells.
AS consequence many people got more
water in their wells than they wanted
while the wells of many others caved IN
altogether.
The water came up to the very door OF the
hotel and the guests could look out from
their rooms on sheet of water covering
5000 acres On which hoated great strings of
sidewalk, porches, pieces of railroad track,
skeletons of bridges. hen cOops, stables,
sheaves of wheat. railroad ties, cord wood
and, in fact, everything imaginable. The
bridge south of Main street, leading TO the
quarry. was swept away when the first
body of water struck it. and large chunks
of the steep banks adjacent went with it.
The platforms of the Santa Fe depot were
lifted from their fastening and badly dis
figured. The railroad track was lifted
from its bed and fioated around until 1t
looked like monster sea serpent sleeping
on the surface OF the ocean.
When the water subsided forty men
were put to work on the track and tenn
porarily fixed it up so that trains were
able to pick their way slowly over it yes
terday 1t is estimated that IL 900 ieet of
track was displaced between Augusta and
FL Dorado, and niue miles between
Augusta and Florence. About $500 worth
OF harvested wheat, the property of
Messrs. Burgis, Dormel, Carter and
Brown, was swept from the fields. but be-
sides this, the loss of the bridge, the
fioailng sidewalks and track washouts,
comparatively no damage was done.
