The Already Overlooked Streams Increased
by Heavy Rainfall.
OMAHA, April Especial kilograms
to The Bee from points in South Da-
kotsl, Iowa and Nebraska bring word of
increased floods in all the rivers. Rain
has fallen almost necessarily for the
last 70 hours over an area Of more than
100 miles in radius from Omaha, the
fall being fully four inches for that
time. This has greatly increased the
volume Of water in the already swollen
streams, and now what are usually
brooks have been transformed into tor
rents. Thousands Of acres of farmland
are under from four to six feet of run
ming water, and many families have
moved from homes in boats.
Along the James river in South Da-
kota a great many farmers had gone
back to their homes when the water re-
coded early last week, and are now
caught in this food. A Missouri river
steamboat has been sent from Yankton
to rescue the sufferers along the James
river.
Sioux City reports that the Missouri
has passed the danger line there and is
overlooking the lower part of the city.
Cherokee reports the second food on
the Little Sioux worse than the first
Repairs had commenced ON the property
damaged by the first deluge, but all is
being washed away again.
Yankton is cut off from railroad COM
munication and most of the telegraph
and telephone lines are down. Pierre
reports the Missouri clear of ice there,
but word from Bismarck is that the ice
on the upper river has began to move.

TRENTON, Mo, April Grand river
is still coming up and the bottoms are
completely under water, causing much
damage. Weldon Bridge, four miles
north. was washed out and considerable
timber of the Quincy, Omaha and Kan
sas City railway extension has been
lost. The base ball park is completely
submerged Manager Winslow of the
waterwOrks received telephone message
from the power station that water was
running i'll through the walls and that
if the food was any higher tomorrow
they would have to vacate, leaving the
city without any water supply.
Six young men on horseback attempt
ed to cross the bottoms west of town
and were swept from their horses.
Three got safely to land, the other three
foated down stream and were rescued

The County Democratic Com
mittee, before whom are the re
turns of the county primary, will
meet tomorrow in order to finish
the count and declare the nomi,
nees.
Our readers understand us on
the question of contests; they dis
rupt parties and we fatty oppose
them, and we hope the committee
will hear all grievances, the evid-
ence, and to each candidate justice
will be done. We have the ut
most confidence in our committee,
believing they will deal fairly and
honestly with each candidate, con-
sidering both their interest and
that of the party, for with their
action tomorrow depends in a
large measure the success Of the
party in November. We see no
reason why the committee should
not settle all matters before them,
but in the event they can not, we
would suggest in the Sheriffs race
that Mr.. Jones and Mr.. McCor-
mick goin person before the Chair
man Of the State Central Commit
tee, lay before him the facts and
submit to his decision.
1t would be an easy matter for
Mr.. Mccormick to make the state
ment that according to the certifi-
cate Of election in the Aarons Run
ballot box he gets s. votes and
Mr.. Jones 1856 votes. This fact
can not be disputed. Then Mr..
Jones could carry with him certi
fed certificates OF the officers OF
election Of said precinct showing
that Mr.. Mccormick got s. votes
and that Mr.. Jones received I63
votes and that they as well as Mr..
Jones claimed that the certificate
in the ballot box was wrong, the
error being a clerical one,
These statements made before
Mr.. Johnston, Chairman of the
State Central Committee, a man
free from bias and who has only |
the interests Of the party in view,
a man who could and would civ c ,
a just decision and which decis-
ion should satisfy both candidates
and all Democrats as well.

Missouri Out of It's Banks,

ST. JOSEPH, Mo, April 5.-The first
alarm is felt here over the rise in the
Missouri river. The stream rose seven
tenths of foot here during the past "a
hours and is steadily climbing up. Re-
ports from the country 70 miles north
of here state that the Nodaway, One
Hundred and Two, Nishabotna and
other streams are all out of their banks.
Just south of this city the river is cut
ting badly, and the Burlington Railroad
company has a large force of men pro-
tecting its tracks at Burnes lake.

FORECAST OF CONGRESS.
Not Much Expected in Either the Senate
or House This Week.

| or House This Week.
WASHINGTON, April 5.-The bank
ruptcy bill will be given first place in
the senate program this week, but il
will give way to the appropriation bills
after Tuesday if the committee on ap.
preparations reports them, as is expect.
ed, and urges consideration. Senator
Lindsay will open the debate on the
bankruptcy bill in its favor and it is
presumed that Senator Nelson will fol-
low in opposition.
The appropriation bills will excite
more or less debate when taken up, but
they are scheduled to pass with COM
paratively few changes. There has been
an effort on the part of some members
of the house to impress the senate with
the Importance of passing these bills as
sent over from the house without any
change whatever. This suggestion is
resented especially by the appropriations
committee, which is determined to make
some changes if only for the purpose of
demonstrating the senate's independ-
ence of the house. A few notifications,
however, are absolutely necessary. 1t
appears that there is an error of 800, 900
in the calculation of totals in the sun
dry civil bill and that one appropriation
for public building is duplicated. The
committee also will restore the provision
for opening the Uncompahgre Indian
reservation in the Indian bill. but will
allow only one claim of Gilsonite to
such individual and not two as has been
heretofore reported.
The Uncompahgre matter and the
question Of revoking President Cleve-
lands order for the creation of forest
reservations in the west will occasion
debate. The committee probably will
make no recommendation in this mat
ter, though there is possibility that it
may be transferred from the sundry
civil to the general deficiency bill. The
senators from the states affected will
make an effort ON the floor of the senate
to have the provision in regard to this
matter restored as it originally passed
the senate. ..
The outlook is that the week will not
be busy one and that the daily ses-
sions will be short Many senator will
be absent The finance committee will
press forward its investigation of the
Dingley tariff bill, and the various par
ties will con inue their efforts to reach
an understanding on the organization
OF the senate committees. Some atten-
ton may be given to the arbitration
treaty in executive session, but there
will not be any effort to get vote upon
it during the week.
