The Platte River at Louisville, Neb..
Is Two Miles Wide.
Louisville: Neb., March 5.-An les
gorge which began forming above the
Missouri Pacific bridge near this city
Monday morning has reached forrid-
able proportions and the Platte. river
has risen higher than for 20 years and
now covers a stretch of country two
miles wide. The tracks of the Chi
cago, Rock Island and Pacific railroad
are washed out for half a mile and
trains will be unable to pass for sew.
eral days. All trains on the road will
be run by another line until the wash.
out can be repaired.
The tracks of the Missouri Pacific
road began to wash out slowly and it
is feared they will be in bad condition
by morning. No trains can run over
the threatened portion of the track.
The Missouri Pacific bridge across the
Platte river has been considerably
damaged, but is still in condition for
use. The wagon bridge will probably
have to be abandoned for several days.
East and west of the city the Burling-
ton tracks are washed out in small
patches and it is feared they will be
impossible before the night is over.
Twenty families living in the low.
lands have been compelled to abandon
their homes and go to the bluffs. All
their effects were left in their homes
and they are being taken care of by
friends.

Western roads. No action was taken
in regard to the Western freight bu-

will be elected chairman. A notice of
withdrawal from the three bureaus
given by the Northwestern on Satur-
day was met by the Milwaukee and St.

gave similar notices: This frustrated
all further attempts to resuscitate the
organization.
This action by the Western roads is
said to be caused by an intimation
that the federal authorities will en-
force the interstate commerce and

BRITISH ARMY ESTIMATES,
Mr.. Broderick Asks for Nearly Sew
entY Million Pounds.

London, March 5.-In introducing
the army estimates, G69,31O,O0O, in
the house of commons, the war secre-
tary, Mr.. Broderick,, entered into a
long defense of the war office, which,
he contended, had done it's work we'll,
considering that a war has never be-
fore been waged on such a scale as
the South African war; The war Of
flee was feeding 100000 men and 243,-
600 horses in South Africa and there
were no complaints on that score. In
regard to recruiting, Mr.. Broderick be-
lieved the limit had been reached. No
reduction in the strength of the army
could be expected and probably the
Indian garrison must be increased.
The country had already had enough
experience OF allowing the colonial
garrisons to sink below their proper
limits. In regard to the much dis
cussed question of volunteers, Mr..
Broderick declared that if the volun-
teers were to be bar to CONSUMPTION
they must make themselves, efficient.
It was proposed to establish volun-
teer reserve of men over 40 years of
age, who were unable to comply with
the ordinary regulations, and estab-
fish during the present year militia
reserve of $4,000 men.

THE kLERKsDoRP AFFAIR.
Onslaught Of the Beers Was Delivered
With Unusual Impetus.

with unusual Impetus.
London, March 5.-Telegrams re-
ceived here from Klerksdorp describ-
ing the attack upon and capture by
the Beers Feb. "a at 3 point southwest
of Kle7ksdorp of 467 British soldiers
who We're acting as convoy to an
empty wagon train show that General
Delarey laid his plans with consum-
mate care and precise knowledge of
the ground.
The third Boer attack upon the con-
voy was delivered from various points
and was most determined. By sheer
recklessness they sought to ride down
and overwhelm the British defense.
The British guns shelled the charging
Beers, but nothing stopped their on
slaught, which was delivered with un-
usual impetus. The convoy mules
were subjected to heavy fire, and,
deserted by the native drivers, the
mules stampeded, putting many of
the defenders temporarily out of &C.
ton and causing the widest confu-
sion. For two hours the British held
out. They then divided and were
overwhelmed. - few minutes of eau
tious fighting and all was over. The
Beers galloped along the line firing
at every man who showed the slight
est tendency to resist until they
reached and captured the guns. In
the excitement the Northumberland
fusileers, who had been cut off, sue
ceeded in fighting their way out for
some distance. When their ammuni-
ton became exhausted they charged
with bayonets, but were speedily over
powered.
BY Z o'clock in the morning all re-
sistance was at an end. The dead and
wounded were scattered all over the
field. Broken wagons and panic
stricken horses and mules made a
scene of indescribable confusion. Not
until General Delarey came in person
was anything like order restored. He
stopped the Beers engaged in strip
ping the British wounded by the free
use of the sjambok, but they contin-
ued the work of despoiling directly
his back was turned.

Unrest In Southern Europe.

While something approaching indus
rial peace quite generally prevails in
yhis country, there are demonstrations
Of unrest and dissatisfaction in GER
tain quarters Of Europe Of more than
usually serious and menacing charac-
ter. Notable examples are the recent
riots at Triest and Barcelona. The
Austrian troubles, it is asserted, are
clearly traceable to anarchistic agita-
ton, while the Spanish crisis arises
from the dissatisfaction Of laborers
with their wages and conditions.
The situation at Barcelona culminat-
ed in a general strike, involving some
10000 workmen of various classes and
trades, resulting in the placing of the
city under martial law. There was for
a time an almost complete stoppage of
business and traffic in this most i'm
portant commercial and industrial city
Of Spain, with, consequent widespread
distress and the loss of many lives and
the destruction of much property The
situation was only relieved by the
adoption of drastic measures by the
government, which leave ugly wounds
and seemingly intensity the bitterness
existing between the ruling and en-
ploying classes and the laboring
masses, though the latter are for the
time overawed and Gained.
In Austria the anarchistic outbreak
is regarded as Of the utmost serious
ness, and there is possibility that the
ramifcations of the movement spread
farther than appears on the surface.
In connection with other elements of
dissatisfaction and disintegration, the
effects of this outbreak at Triest may
be exceedingly troublesome to the
Austro-Hungarian government and the
house Of Hapsburg, which, with the
dynastic scandals and the racial
schisms that have agitated court, par
lament and subjects for some years,
has at best none too strong a hold
upon the fealty Of the people.

BLUE HILL,

The town board met last Tues
day.
E.. L. Morford moved to Eagle
Lake last week.
Some of our new farmers are
moving into town.
w. E. Bailey and Ben Mergel
were at Big Lake last Thursday.
John F. Bailey and Chas. Car]e-
man were at Big Lake last week.
Next Tuesday is town election.
All is quiet on the Potomac
no, we mean the St. Francis.
Mr.. and Mrs. James Stevenson
and their son Elmer and wife,
we're Elk River visitors last week.
H. Merged has not been so we'll
for few days. The spasms took
violent form. At the present
he is improving again.
Clint Hoyt and Edith, his sister,
started for North Dakota last
week on the lookout for new
home in the northland.
G. W. and Clarence Taylor are
on the rampage for skunks and
wolves this winter. They gath
cred in ten skunks on Monday last;
not good day for skunks either.
What will the harvest be when the
chances are more favorable?
Rev. Haight preached at Green
bush last Sunday. We are pleased
to note he will again fill his APP
pointments on his circuit. Geo.
Galbraith preached at Santiago in
his stead. No services in Blue
Hill on account of small pox.
Frank Shrofe has had the small
pox after all, and has been at large
to 60 where he pleases while he
was broken out with this infectious
disease. It must have been known
to our town board, as the doctor
so stated when he went to see the
patient. This careless method of
treating this disease will infect the
whole county and State. There
should be stringent measures taken
to stamp out the disease before
warm weather comes, which will
develop it in more virulent type.

THE REBELLION in KWANG ST

Hong Kong, March 5.-The rebel.
lion in kwang ST province is spread
ing rapidly. Signs of unrest are al
ready apparent at Kwe Lin and Nan
King, the newly opened river treaty
ports.
The Canton viceroy has dispatched
troops to the scene of the disturb
ances and has stationed over 1000
men at kwe LIN and Nan King for use
in case of eventualities. The rebels
are believed to be former soldiers of
Marshal Su, who were disbanded on
his promotion. Their propaganda,
which has spread far and wide, in
cludes the overthrow of the Manchu
dynasty, the founding of Chinese
dynasty and helping the oppressed
and needy Chinese. The French are
said to be secretly supporting the
rebels.
Picking, March 5.-The government
has ordered Marshal Su to resume
command of the rebellious soldiers in
Kwang ST province. It is doubtful if
he will be able to control them, as it
is necessary first to pay them their
overdue wages.
The French legation here has re-
ceived telegram saying that the
rebels have killed a French officer
