OMAHA, Mo-, April 25.-The Missouri

is now above the danger line. At the
foot of Farnam street where the big
Omaha and Grant smelter is located
the water is within two inches Of the
top Of the bank and any additional rise
will inhict great damage on the smelter
property. The Union Pacific tracks
along the river block or two above are
partially under water and the ground is
so soft that it is dangerous to run trains
through the yards. During the night
some 20 families were driven out and
the bottoms are now completely GOV.

THE LEVEE BREAKS,

Bottoms Around Hamburg, Ia, Under

ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, April 25.-The Mis-.
souri, river has risen foot at this point
during the last "a hours. The Payne
levee at Hamburg, Ia, 80miles north of
St. Joseph on the Burlington road, has
given way and the bottoms are flooded
for miles below. There was no loss of
life, as a large force Of workmen had
been trying to strengthen the levee and
warned the farmers of the danger.
Many fed, leaving household goods and
live stock behind. The break increased
in size by the rush of water until it is
now 200 feet wide. The dyke was built
to protect part Of the town of Hamburg
and the depot and tracks of the Burling-
ton railway. r.
A large force of railroad men aided
by citizens of Hamburg have worked at
the break all day, filling it in with bags
Of sand, and as the waters above are
now receding, it is not believed the
damage will be added to. The railroad
tracks are still intact.

THORS' MANI SCRIPTS.


Not Necessary For Editors to Read
Them From Beginning TO End.
Once more the tale goes round Of the
author who sent q story to three jour
nails and had it returned by every one
without having been read. He knew It
because he had pasted two Of the leaves
together. Very likely. We do not think
of reading through a half or quarter
Of the articles that are sent to as. Il
often does not take half minute to dis
card what one knows he doesn't want.
Il is an old saying that one does not
need to eat a whole joint to learn
whether it is tainted.
1t would be revelation to some of
these writers to see how fast an expe-
rienced and conscientious editor can, at
times, go through big pile Of essays,
stories or poems. The title is often
enough, and he would say, We don't
want an article on that subject. . The
next article begins with page or two
Of commonplace introduction, and that
is thrown aside in half minutes in
spection without turning more than
the next page. The next begins with a
platitude-" We can't print that stuff. .
The first verse of this 5szt poem has
false meter and is tossed aside. The
next begins in schoolgirl style, with
dove and love-" it is not read
through. Of the next the editor reads
ten lines It is simply dull descrip-
tion of stream in forest-not want
ed. The next poem begins in fresh
way, seems to be constructed according
to the rules, is pretty good. It is put
one side to see if other better poems
will crowd it out The next is story.
The first page is promising, but the sec
ond shows coarse strain, and the read
ing stops there.
Ten articles are decided upon, and
with sufficient good Judgment, in ten
minutes, for minute to manuscript
is often twice as much time as it needs
1t does not take that long for dealer
to stick an iron skewer in aasmoked
ham, draw it out and smell of it, Not
one article in dozen perhaps needs to
be read through.-New York Independ-

INSECTS AS HooDoos.

They Keep Settlers Away From Many
Parts of the World.
Nothing could more strikingly illus
trate the Importance Of small things
than the large role which is now at
tributed to the mosquito in the etiology
of some Of the most serious and wide
spread diseases to which the human race
is subject. It is truly said that what
prev ents the successful colonization Of
many tropical countries and what
throws the greatest obstacle in the way
of civilization of and good government
in vast regions Of central Africa is not
climate, not distance from home and
not unfriendliness on the part of the
natives The obstacle is malaria, and
now we find that the prevalence of ma
laria, so far as man is concerned, de-
ponds on the mosquito, and that this
pestilent little insect, in addition to ir-
.ritating and annoying, is the means by
which the poison of malaria is propa-
gated and distributed. sl :
; For years back botanists have known
the important part played by birds in
the scattering of seed and of insects in
the distribution Of the pollen of plants,
and it seems not unlikely that pathol-
ogists will have to recognize in much
larger degree than has till lately been
done the large part taken by the subor-
dinate forms of life by which we are
surrounded cattle, our horses, our
dogs and cats, our flies, our mosquitoes,
and perhaps even our feas-in dis
tributing disease from man to man, and,
as is stated in regard to the mosquito
and malaria, in deciding whether the
extension of our empire over great areas
of the globes surface shall be possible
or not.-Hospital

WAS THE BANNER YEAR
Our Exports for 1898 the Larg-
est Ever Recorded.
IMPORTS. EXCEPTIONALLY SMALL
Over a Billion Dollars Worth of Produce
and Manufactures Sent Abroad and
Half That Amount Purchased.

WASHINGTON, April 25.-The fiscal
year of 1898 was the banner year Of the
foreign trade Of the United States, our
exports being the largest ever recorded
for a like period and our imports excep-
tionally small. According toa compre-
hensive report just prepared by Mr..
Frank H. Hitchcock, chief Of the Sec
ton of foreign markets Of the agricul-
tural department., the total value Of our
domestic exports reached the enormous
sum of $780, 91, 913, exceeding the
record breaking figures of the preced-
ing year by SITS, 1884, 80. On the other
hand the imports during 1898 were the
smallest since 1885, their value being
1916, 049,654, a decline of $14S,6SO, 75S
from the figures of 1897. Broadly
stated for every dollars worth of foreign
merchandise brought into the United
States So worth of our product found a
market abroad. Our domestic exports
as compared with our imports showed
an excess of 1854, 242, 259. or
More Than Twice the Excess
for 1897, which was the largest previ-
ously reported. An interesting fact de-
veloped by the report of Mr.. Hitchcock
is the increase in the exports of agricul-
tural products, being 70.3 per cent of
the total Or 1858. 507, 942, gain of
nearly rs per cent over 1897. Exports of
this class also show greater gain pro-
portionately than mona agricultural ex-
ports,
Our purchases Of foreign agricultural
products in 1898 amounted to only 1914,
291, 1896, as compared with $400, S71 1853
in 1897, decrease Of 500, 759, 672, or
about % per cent. The value Of the
American farm produce sent abroad
during 1898 was much more than
double that of our agricultural imports,
the excess of the former over the latter
amounting to $544, 216, 146. In 1897 the
excess on the side Of the agricultural
exports was only 1898, 1888, 720, and in
the years Immediately preceding still
smaller. ..- ....
