Hon. A. s. Hazelton assumed the duties
OF postmaster of Council Bluffs yesterday,
succeeding I. NJ. Treynor. The legal trans

to Mr., Hazelton one minute after midnight
Sunday, but neither the incoming. nor the
outgoing postmaster was present at that
time, both presumably being in bed sleep
Ing and dreaming over what was and what

The advent of Mr.. HaEelton into the

changes at the postofice. With the excep-
tion OF the deputy postmaster all the po-
sitions are held under civil service rules.
George 7. Phelps. who was deputy post
master under Mr.. Treynor, will continue in
the same position. at least for the present.
In accordance with the usual custom, Mr..
Hazelton also becomes custodian OF the
federal building, but will not assume the
duties until Mr.. Treynor has had time to
prepare IN inventory of the government
property under his charge and close up
the other business connected with the Of
fee. 1t is said that Mr.. Hazelton contem-
plates one or more changes in the en-
ployes under his control as custodian.
Mr., Hazelton forwarded yesterday to
Governor Cummins his resignation as state
senator. 1t is unlikely, however, that the
vacancy will be Allied, as another state

objects to a Grade Crossing.

The Mason City q Fort Dodge Railroad
company began suit in the district court
yesterday to restrain the board OF county
supervisors from establishing a grade cross
ing over what is known as the Maxfeld
road in Hardin township. AS the road is
at present the railroad in crossing 1t will
make a cut OF about twenty feet, forcing
the county to erect an overhead crossing
over the tracks. W. H. McClelland and
others petitioned the county to change the
grade and the commissioner who was ap-
pointed reported In favor OF the request.
The railroad asserts that a grade cross
will not be feasible nor practicable, owing to
the height OF the entertainments on each
side and that, further, 1t would be dan
gerous and prevent the company from run
ming its trains in safety. 1t is further al
legged by the railroad company that the
county board has not the right to arbl-
trarily determine the kind Of grade and
that where a controversy arises It should
be determined by a court Of equity. 1t
was stated last evening that the case would
in all probability be settled out OF court
and the petition withdrawn by the rail-
road company.

At Muskrat lake, northeast OF town, a
stream Of water poured into It steadily all

Breaks over Leeves.
KEoKUK, Ia, July 14.-Just as the Des
Moines river began to fall at the lower
portion after the floods from the upper
waters, another food came and caught
everybody by surprise. At the mouth the
river rose eight feet today and tonight
It is still rising one inch an hour, notwith-
standing the breaking Of levees.
The levee OF the Keokuk Canning COM
pany broke this morning early and 1000
acres of cucumbers and tomatoes and 1000
acres Of corn were flooded. The loss of
the canning company is $40, 900 and to the
farmers twice as much more. The total
loss here today is about $50, 900 and there
Is danger that this will be quadrupled In
Clark county, which is protected now by
only the Egyptian levee, the last stand
against the advancing waters. The cause
Of the flood was a cloudburst near Given,
Ia, with a rainfall of FIVE inches over a
large section near the river. All points
between here and Ottumwa will suffer great
damage and the loss in the lower fifty
miles of the Des Moines river totals hun
dreds of thousands OF dollars, chiefly to
fine cornfelds.
The indications tonight are that the
Egyptian levee may be held by its watchers
through the night.
