A RUSH OF WATER.
The Destruction Wrought In Medicine
Valley,

The Destruction Wrought In Medicine
Valley,
OMAHA, June "a special to the
Bee from Curtis, Neb., says: Curtis
lake burst from its banks late yester-
day afternoon and the volume of water
released carried destruction through
Medicine valley. The lake covered
100 acres, and was constructed as an
irrigation reservoir and incidentally
to furnish power to the Curtis roller
mills. An enormous dam was built
across the mouth of Wilde canyon,
where it intercepts Medicine river at
this point, and all water drained from
the territory to the north, some 80
square miles, was confined in the arti-
fetal basin.
The enormous flood that has passed
into the lake during the past five days
was too heavy for the dam. The first
intimation the Curtis citizens had that
the locality was threatened with dis
aster was when the banks of the lake
burst with roar that could be heard
several miles, and wall of water 10
feet high rushed down the valley, car
rying everything in its path. Houses,
freight cars, stock and mountain
debries were caught up and dashed
about like feathers. The fine roller
mills, which occupied the east side OF
the great ravine, received the. first
shock of the torrent and the buildings
were almost ruined. The damage in
thisA direction alone is estimated at
$50. coo. ss<-
A few hundred yards below the mills
Medicine river passes under the rail-
road tracks of the Burlington. When
the food struck this narrow defile
progress was checked, but only for an
instant. Then the heavy embankment
gave way and wall of water rushed
through cutting path 100 yards wide.
A number of freight cars standing on
the tarcks close to the point under
minded, were precipitated into the
water and carried down stream like
straws. The railroad company's loss
is about 1876, 600.
AS the wall OF water passed beyond
the city it rapidly spread out over an
immense territory and its powers of
destruction were correspOndingly de-
creased. The damage, however, WAS
merely shifted as the extensive alfalfa
meadows for many miles to the south
were flooded, by several feet of water,
and fears are entertained that the crop
will be permanently destroyed.
All details from the south where the
torrent passed indicate very extensive
damage. Farm products of every de-
scription were engulfed, and in many
instances where the homes of farmers
were in the immediate vicinity of the
valley, the disaster was almost ruinous.
Small buildings were swept away or
undermined in such manner as to be
rendered worthless, and In some
sections the water rose so rapidly as to
seriously menace the lives of families.
No loss of life thus far has been re-
ported. Twenty miles to the south,
where Medicine valley is confined to
small space, it is believed the damage
will be heaviest.

BIG SALE OF HORSES.
Seven Hundred Fine Animals Purchased
For Speculative Purposes.


George Mckay, the well-known
sheep owner, has just purchased over
700 American mares and geldings from
Oregon owners. He will place the
great herd in charge Of Fred Archer,
manager of the Richmond stables, The
Dalles, who will break the finest OF
them and sell the poorest to the can
ners. Mr.. Mckay expects to receive
about $50 per head for those he breaks,
and one cent a pound for the meat ami
mails.

without difficulty, he disposed OF 1000

claims that Wasco county sheepmen
could obtain higher rates for their
mutton If they did not display so much
anxiety to sell.

PHILADELPHIA, June LII was the
hottest day here of any city in the
country. On the street at o'clock it
was 1O5 in the shade. Three deaths
were reported from the heat, and
nearly so prostrations reported, some
of which are fatal. At Pottstown the
heat was so intense that the ironwork-
ers had to suspend operations. There
where were many cases of heat pros
tration. The thermometer registered
100 degrees. At Lancaster, the Penn
sylvania rolling mills were compelled
to shut down on account of the excess
sive heat. The thermometer registered
SO in the shade. Several cases of heat

THE swELTERING EAST.
Instead of Abating, the Torridity In
creased in Intensity.

NEW YORK, June 1.-Instead of
abating, the torridity, which came up
on the city Thursday, increased today,
and to this discomfort was added a
greater degree of humidity than had
prevailed during the preceding days.
There was difference of about eight
degrees in the readings of the signal
office thermometers in the tower Of
tall Manhatten buildings and instru-
ments on the streets level, 30 that
when, at noon, the official record was
81 deg, and when, at l o'clock, the.
signal office reported "a deg, people
on the streets were confronted with
the figures 104. There was brisk
shower about 4:30 P. M, accompanied
by lightning and thunder, but this
brought no relief from the heat. To
night up to II o'clock has been hot and
close. Numerous prostrations are re-
ported, some of which are likely to
result fatally. The forecast is for con-
tinued higher temperature.

GREAT LOSS OF LIFE.
One Hundred and Eighty-seven Persons
Drowned.

Drowned.
CITY OF MEXICO, May 31.-The to-
tai number of drowned from the COlinaa
wreck, off the coast of Manzanillo, is
now known to be 1877 persons. Five
more have been rescued from the
wreck, making the total number OF liv-
ing 26.
The ship carried 213 persons, and to
all appearances and these were all
drowned with the exception of 20. The
living will be sent north as soon as
possible, and II have already taken
passage for San Francisco. The ac-
cident is the most frightful in it's loss
of life which has ever occurred in
Mexican waters, and the Colima is a
complete loss, unless some of its cargo
can be recovered by divers, which will
probably be attempted. The ship was
one of the largest and strongest of the
Pacific Mail line between San Fran
cisco and Panama, and was sunk by
striking q coral reef in dense fog.

and were expelled with difficulty.
This news. coupled with news from
Jeddah, that the British consul and
yice-consul, the Russian acting consul
and French consular secretary, were
attacked and shot at outside of the
town, has caused excitement in diplo-

ships have been ordered to Jeddah,
with instructions to protect the for
eigners and investigate the killing of
the British vice-consul and the wound

THE FoRMosAN REBELLION.

Republic.
LONDON, May 31.-The Times pub
lished a dispatch from Hong Kong
giving details regarding the trouble
on the island of Formosa. They show
that the action which resulted in the
island declaring itself republic was
prompted by the Chang Tai Chong
party, as opposed to the Ii family.
General Tcheng has been appointed
foreign minister, and KY Sing Kuk,
the originator OF the movement, has
been suppressed by Tang. Discussions
have already occurred, and the COM
mon people, it is said, regard the re-
publican declaration as an Official
joke.
A petition has been forwarded to
Pekin from South China praying the
emperor to introduce constitutional
reform; to remove incapable officials;
to abolish the queue and foot bindings,
and allow freedom Of speech and OF
the press. The petition advocates re-
form on western lines.

The senate resolutions in behalf

wondered at. Cleveland has fewer
men who agree with him in policy
and more voters who will vote for
him despite this disagreement,th than
any other man who ever occupied
his present position. He is in no
sense a leader, but he has the luck
OF inspiring people with an idea of
his honesty, when in fact he is only
