MALAYSIA FLOODS.
Water in Skunk and Des Moines
Rivers Passes Danger Point

The foods in the streams of Ma
haska have become more than threat
ening. Danger OF great damage is
now threatening with the water still
rising on account of heavy rains.
The water of Skunk river is fully
three feet higher than it was at this
time Saturday and 1t is still rising.
The river raised fully one foot SUM-
day and about eight inches during
the night. The water is pouring over
all of the macadam grade on the
north of the wsgon bridge, and all
communication with the north ex cept
by boat has been shut off. The water
is washing and swirling around the
foot OF the Iowa Central grade or ap-
proach to the bridge and is washing
the grade in way that has made the
passing of traffic unsafe and impos-
sible.
The water has surrounded the
Whitmore mill aud is over foot in
depth on the first floor II the water
comes up eighteen inches higher Lon
Mobley's ice houses will be reached
and damage done there. The water
is now about seven feet below the
mark of the food of 1881 and the
residents are becoming apprehensive
that this mark will be reached on &C.
count of the heavy rain that fell in
the flooded district and in the north
west again last night.
The appearance of the bottoms in
the vicinity of the Water Works sta
ton is that of great lake that ex-
tends to the north far up onto the
Dye property. A few trees have their
tops sticking above the water here
and there and the Iowa Central grade
extends out into the water like
great promontory into the sea East
of the Iowa Central tracks the water
has spread itself out over the entire
bottom lands to the line of low bluffs
that approaching the river channel
toward the east naturally narrows
the flooded district for short dis
lance.
The road to the Water Works pump
ing station was lined by vehicles all
day Sunday with sight seers and the
crowd at the station itself amounted
to hundreds. Several thousand peo-
pie from the city visited the station
during the day.
The Iowa Central grade was ar
other point visited by a great num-
Der of people. The bridge builders
were busy from early morning until
dark working with will to get the
bridge structure strengthened so that
any possible raise in the water could
not effect the new work. Much pro-
gress has been made in the past sew
eral days and Sundays work wit
messed the completion of great part

A CLOUD BURST.
What Cheer Visited by Disaster
Gus Fall of Water.

What Cheer, July 14.--What Cheer
was visited by cloud burst this
morning and Coal Greek which is 8
dry run in the summer months was
converted into raging torrent that
carried volume of water to exceed
a great river. Nine buildings includ.
ing the Free Methodist church were
washed away and scattered about,
like mere play things before the
waters of the great food Nothing
like it has been seen in the vicinity
of the town for more than twenty-five
years and the town has never suffered
from so great damage.
A low estimate of the loss would be
$4,000 90 but this figure will probably
be greatly increased as the full
amount of the damage comes to light.
Every business house in the vicinity
of the creek had from eighteen inc n es
to four feet of water in and the con-
dition of affairs here this morning
can better be immagined than dis
cribed.
The buildings carried away were as
follows:
Ed Lally barbershop.
Edward Grow chop house.
Neiman's livery stable
M. Allah saloon.
The Swan laundry.
Palace livery barn.
j, F. Wilson restaurant.
Willis Stanley lumber yard.
The Free Methodist church.
Standard Oil company storage tank.
The Palace livery stable was picked
up and was ridden on the crest of
the food to a distance of half mile
from it's original location and was
left inithe middle of the creek.
The What Cheer drug store had
its insides washed out and bottles
and stock carried off down the creek
TO great distance.
Rain commenced falling here about
six O'Clock last evening and the
down pour wos steady and uninter-
rupted. About three o'clock the fall
of water amounted to cloud burst.
The heavens seemed to open and the
waterl came out in a. solid stream.
Coal Greek [ is a little insignificant
stream that has it's origin not four
miles distant from this place. 1t
drains avery small part of the ter
ritory west of here. 1t runs through
the center part of the town and is
crowded to its bank with business
buildings.A The creek has been full
of water before and has caused dam
age to adioining property but nothing
like the torrent of last night has ever
before occurred.
The postoffice was flooded with IS
inchesIof water, and large quantity
of supplies rendered useless.
Cellars were filed full of muddy
water, ard some of the homes of cit
liens flooded to the ceiling and NOV
ed from. their foundation. The flood
came so sudden there was no time for
the saving of chattels of any sort and
the loss and damage is great in con.
sequence.
The.scene here can better be ap-
preciated when it is stated that bust
ness ALPHABETICALLY at ttand still to-
day and every one,is cleaning up and
trying to save what can be saved
from thel water soaked property.

years, son of Mr.. and Mrs. John
Gum, in playing with beads this
morning forced one of the little glass
globes into his nose. The bead would
not come out and the little fellow in
his efforts to get it out again but
forced 1t back the farther. The
mother soon discovered what had
happened but no relief could be
given. The child was taken to DR..

the bead had been pushed far back
and was resting in the mucuous MEM
brane. Instruments were used and
the bead was removed giving the
child almost instant relief.
