yet put in an appearance, but he will
be on hand this morning, and by noon
will be listening to the efforts Of lands
men trying to prove that they are
sailors, and falling down over the fear
full and intricate task Of boxing the
compass.
Lieut.. Cook was a busy man yester-
day. He had to secure quarters for
his board, and get the preliminaries
of his work under way. Mr. Lyman
made the arrangements for quarters in
the federal grand jury room, but it
was found that the posters and other
literature that will be displayed to at
tract the attention of the patriotic
were in the postoffice, and could not
be displayed.
Lieut.. Cook said that everything
would be ready to receive the appli-
cants at or before 10 o'clock this morn

LINCOLN, Neb., March pa severe
storm, probably the worst of the win

MISSISSIPPI NOW RISING,

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, March 27.-Sinca
Friday until this evening the MissIs-
sippf river has been rising. Today the
gauge showed % feet and 6 inches. and
indications from above and points on
the Missouri indicate fully &c feet by
tomorrow night, showing that a bic
volume Of water Is coming down. The
heavy rains of yesterday and today
nave swollen all the streams in Mis-
souri, and Illinois. The frequency of
heavy rains is becoming a matter of
alarm to the Mississippi valley Just
north Of st. Louis. Every avenue of
drainage is full of water, the river is
rapidly rising and the prospects of a
nood In the valley are threatening
PORTSMOUTH, O., March 27.-The
Ohio river is 81 feet inches and is
rising quarter Of an inch per hour
A big force of men have been working
all day strengthening the temporary
levees to keep the water out of the
center Of the city, thus preventing
heavy damage. Fire engines are
pumping out the sewers in an effort
to keep the water from reaching the
threatened district through that source
The river Will be at a standstill at mid
night. The weather is warm, cloudy
and threatening rain.
A special to the Republic from Han
nibal, Mo-, says that that part of the
city lying along Bear creek Is under
water, making travel impossible, ex-
cept in skiffs or vehicles Both the
city and the Missouri, Kansas & Texas
railroad dykes gave way, flooding a
section two miles long, and arousing
the sleeping inmates, who barely had
time to escape. There were many mar
row escapes, and had it not been for
the prompt assistance rendered by
those who owned boats many would
have persisted. Many poor families
are made homeless, with their house

DESERT DAWSON CITY
STAMPEDE TO THE NEW GOLD
FINDS ON sKOOKUM CREEK

Str1ke Said to- BE One of the Best Yet
Made-ReDOrts Of Rich Strike
on Leads River-Finds Which 1t
Is Claimed Have Been Made on
the Salmon River Cause a Rush in
That Direction.
SKAGUAY, Alaska, March "a (via
Seattle, Wash).-One Of the biggest
stampedes yet recorded in the Klon-
dixie region was occasioned on Feb. 12
by a very rich strike on the divide be-
tween the Big and Little Shookl1rn.
The strike was made in bench dig
gings on high hogback, 300 or 400
feet above the level Of the gulches.
Pay dirt running from 81 to $35 to
the pan was found.
Following the announcement Of the
strike occurred a stampede from Daw-
son of immense proportions, and the
entire ridge was staked out In a. short
time
This news was brought to this city
this week by Mr. A. Piche. official
courier and dispatch bearer for the Ca
madam government. Mr. Piche says
there was Immense excitement at DaW-
son when he left over the Skookum
strike. and that over 200 men were
standing in line at the recorders office
to make record Of their claims.
MIR. Piche also brings the news of a
new strike ON Leads river, which is of
great Importance, if it develops as is
promised. On March 6 man named
Connolly, while prospecting a small
pup" leading off the Leads, about
seventy-fve miles below Lake LIE
Barge, found pay dirt which Is promis-
Ing. Piche personally visited the claim
and took from 81 to SO from a single
pan. The discovery is about thirty
miles up the stream from the Leads.
The latest reports from the Salmon
river country are brought out by
Charles Fitzpatrick, who arrived here
from that district yesterday Fttzpat-
rick says the find on Walsh creek is all
that has been claimed for it, that he
took from his own claims $3.50 to the
Fan. He says there are already about
1000 people at Walsh creek, which is
500 more than can secure claims on
that particular stream.
Thomas H. Phipps and Ralph Smith
claim to have unearthed a lot of rich
quartz bearing free milling gold The
location is kept a secret, but is de-
scribed by them as being within an

Official notice came from Washing
ton, Friday, that the place of cOncen-

Names quota of volunteers would
be at Augusta. instead of at Portland
as had been formerly ordered.
1t will be remembered that Portland
was the place mentioned by the secre
tary of war, though he asked to be
advised, if the Governor thought some
other place better. The Governor an
swered that for many reasons, incllld-
ing the less expense and the health of
the men. Augusta would be much bet
ter, and ordered the Guard to concen-
trate here. The change was accord
ingly made by the war department.
