A GRAVE SITUATION.
The Missouri ut Omaha Trying Hard
to Change Its Course.

Omaha, Neb., April 15.-The flood
situation tonight is a grave one. All day
the torrents poured from the Missouri
across the North Omaha gardens into
Florence and Cutoff lakes. The former
has lost it's identity in the general flood
and the latter may soon. Tonight it is
seven feet higher than it was on Tuesday
morning, and it is surely cutting away
ing to join the Missouri and turn the
long abandoned course of that stream
again into use. When the sun went
down the wind died out to a great extent
but it is still blowing steady breeze
The streams running into Cutoff lake had
been increased in volume but no longer
had a bank to tumble over. The water
in the lake had risen to the level of the
water above and the whole flood was
spending itself against the first of the
dykes at the foot of the lakes. This is
still two feet above the surface of the
water, but the waves have cut it terribly
during the day, and it may give way be.
fore morning. Three or four hundred
lizards below is the second big dyke
,eEhe basin between these has filled
Hrapidly, but the water is still three OF
four feet below the level of the lake
Below this second dyke the food would
find but little to obstruct its way into the
river, except buildings and railway
tracks. Everything is being done to
prevent the break.
A special from Vermillionsville tonight
reports a further rise in the Missouri at
that point. The damage to farm prop
erty and live stock has been enormous.

One Of the special features of the
May number of this always up-to-
date fashion magazine, the STANDARD
DESIGNER, is three page article upon
commencement and graduation dress
es and accessories, which will prove
of the greatest value to the young
ladies or little misses who are pre-
pairing for either event. This article
is profusely illustrated in the most
charming style, and enters into every
detail. The bride in anticipation
will also find much to interest her in
this number for some especially dain-
ty lingerie is pictured and described,
and il she is desirous of making her
own trimmings she will find direc-
tions for hand made laces on other
pages. The busy housewife will
probably be more attracted by the
space devoted to hints on the nurse
~, costumes for small boys, house.
cleaning and cookery; while the lover
of outdoor exercise will appreciate
the Horticulture and bicycle news.
These brief notes give but limited
idea OF lhe contents Of the book, for
in addition to what has already been
spoken Of there are fashions for la
dies, misses and children designed
and pictured in the most artistic
manner; millinery is made exceeding
ly attractive in black. and white and
colors, and the literature, poetry, etc.
are of an unusually high order. In
fact we find much to commend and
to decry in the present issue.

Some Now State Laws.

Colorsdo's new fish and game law
compels the maintenance of screens
at the head of all irrigating bitches
taking water from streams which
contain food fish. A former enact
ment contained similar provision
but for some reason has not been
enforced.
We are now working in Colorado
under new game law which pro-
vides for game warden and fish and
forestry commission; prohibits the
killing of song birds; shortens the
period in which deer and antelope
may be killed by one month; prohib-
it's entirely the killing OF elk, buffalo
and mountain sheep; provides strin-
gent laws relative to the quantity of
game or fish which may be taken; !;
for5ids the sale of either in the mar
ket and prescribes severe penalties
for the violation OF the act.
