The Loup Valley cutters Greatly from q
Clouuburst.


Cloudburst.
COLUMBUS, Neb., June S.-Saturday
night was one of terror to residents of
the lowlands in this city. A cloud
burst in the Loup valley the night pre-
vious made of the unusually sluggish
Loup river u raging torrent and to
this volume of water was added a
heavy rain. All the low lying streets
of the town were flooded TO depth of
from three TO six feet. The danger
point was not reached until near mid
night, when occupants of houses were
forced to flee to higher ground. The
situation was but little improved yes
terday. Other towns in the Loup val
ley are in even worse condition.
At Fullerton, northwest Of here, the
depot is surrounded by water nearly
to the depth of five feet and the water
runs through the building. The Union
Pacific is under water and trains are
laid up here. Much of the track has
been washed out further west. The
Platte river is beginning to rise and
there are fears of floods in the Platte
bottoms further east, one of the rich
est farming districts in the state. Since
Saturday night the Loup river rose
five feet Much live stock was drowned
south and west of here, but there were
but two fatalities to human life.

Franchise Obtained for Building the Last
Link in "A Great system-Millions OF Dol
lars Involved
CROWN POINT, Ind, June G-For sew
eral days past J. A. Graves, supposed
to be representing the Cudahys, of Chi
cago, has been negotiating with the
board of commissioners for franchise
to lay pipe lines across the highways
of Lake county. The franchise being
a matter of great Importance, Il
great deal of interest was taken
and considerable opposition was en-
countered before the franchise was OBJ
tanned. From words dropped by w. A.
Kunkel, who is one of the representa-
tives of the undertaking, this is be-
lieved to be closing link in system of
pipe lines through the Ohio and Indi-
ana oil fields with the terminus in re-
fineries at Whiting, and means the ex-
penditure of millions of dollars in Lake
county and the erection of immense re-
fneries.
Mr.. Graves on being interviewed
stated that the pipe line was being
built simply because it was cheaper to
pump through pipes than to haul by
rail, and had no further significance.
Upon being asked whether they con-
templated building refneries, he said
he was not at liberty to say what
might be done in the future, but that
articles of incorporation have been
filed at Indianapolis for one of the
largest corporations, which is of the
greatest moment to the manufacturing
interests of Chicago.

National Saengerfest at Pittsburg ~
Opened by President Cleveland.
PITTsBURG, June 9.-The streets of
this city were filed yesterday with
German visitors from all parts of the
country who were escorted by the
local reception committee to the head
quarters of the national Saengerfest.
All the singers were gay with badges,
and several of the societies added to
the jollity by carrying immense white
umbrellas, the Columbus Macnnerchor
being noticeable because of this and
two Dutch clowns they brought along.
In all, fully 1000 active participants in
the fest arrived, with five times as
many visitors
a heavy rain storm in the evening
played havoc with the gorgeous street
decorations, but did not prevent 5000
people attending the reception concert
given by local societies. At sis o'clock
president Dimling appeared upon the
darkened stage and read telegram
OF friendly greeting from President
Cleveland.
AS Mr.. Dimling ceased speaking the
electric wire connecting the Saenger-
lest hall with the executive mansion
IN Washington was closed by President
Cleveland pushing button and in an
instant the spacious hall was flooded
with light. Long applause greeted
both the message from the president
and the beautiful effect of the illu-
mination, the most attractive feature
OF which was the mammoth Tyre, con-
structed of hundreds of vari-colored
globes. When quiet had been restored,
the orchestra of n pieces rendered the
Kaiser March, which was fully appre-
clated by the vast audience. Fest
President Dimling delivered an address
in acceptance of the Saengerfest flag
and closed with a welcome of the sing
ers. The mayors of Allegheny and
Pittsburg also made addresses of well
come. After the rendition of Free
dom and Fatherland," Rev. Ruoff de-
livered the festival Grafton and Gov.
McCorkle, of West Virginia, made a
few congratulatory remarks.

ST. PAUL, Minn., June 9.-The daily
papers of St. Paul and Minneapolis are
involved in the biggest strike of their
lives. At o'clock last night every
linotype operator on the Globe, Pioneer
Press, Dispatch, Tribune, Journal and
Times left his place. With them went
the advertising compositors, the proof
readers and their helpers, 14C men in
all. The newspapers have manned
their machines with typewriters, stem
ographers and reporters and have ar
ranged temporary exchange of news.
The papers will all get out this morn
ing, although they will set only about
half as mUch matter as usual.
The trouble has been brewing for
several weeks. The proprietors asked
that the piece scale, 121S cents for
nonpareil and IA cents for minion, be
abolished and that all men work for
S23 per week of so hours. The printers
asked for $24 and week of 40 hours.
No agreement was reached and the
printers of the two cities resolved to
quit work. A car load of printers will
arrive here to-day.

TOLEDO, o., June S-All the Toledo
bicycle factories except two, and which
employ altogether about 5000 men, are
to shut down for an indefinite period
this week This is said to be the first
move towards curtailing the output of
wheels and the primary object of
which is to force prices up to the $1OO
notch on standard machines. 1t is
further stated that factories in many
other cities are to follow suit. This
would lead to the belief that there is a
national combination of wheel makers
In 25 cities bicycle manufactures have
shut down or are about to close. Incl
dental to the effort to boost prices, it
is hoped that prolonged idleness will
weaken the wheel trades unions and
cheaper the labor of the mechanics in

were 'Out" to all callers. Hon Chaun-
cey /. Filley took large party through
the show part of the city and eventu-
ally brought them up at the Mosque"

has been dispelled by the demands
for advice made upon Mr.. Filley by the
