Che LoTlands and the Valleys Flooded by
Heavy Rains-Tho State insane Asylum
Cut on from Topeka.

Salina, Kan, Aug. "A clondburst
hhich occurred betweeE one and two
o'clock yesterday morning flooded the
iowlands and the valleys from a point
near L1ndsborg northwest to Ellsworth
and for while yesterday everything
pointed to repetition of the food OF
asst May. The valley northwest from
Lindsborg is all under water and at
Carneiro, Brookville and Bavaria the
| water was from one to two feet deeper
| than during the recent big food The
last report received states that the wa
ter is falling and that the danger in
| these vicinities is probably past, unless
followed to-day by heavy rains.
Twelve miles of the Union Pacific
track west of Brookville, which with
| stood the flood in May, was swept of
the roadbed. West from Batavia is q
sea OF water and much damage to crops
| may result, as considerable wheat in
| the shock is seen going down stream.
The only cause for alarm now seems
| TO be from the Smoky Hill river, which
continues to rise rapidly. The scene OF
the storm Saturday night covered exc
actiy the same territory as did the
heavy storms of last May. The terri
tory now under water was the first
| scene of the memorable May flood,
which extended from Ellsworth to st.
Louis, and did damage to the extent
Of over 100000.
a Flood at Topeka.
Topeka, Kan, Aug. s3-High water
was the cause of great deal of work
and excitement in North Topeka yes
terday morning. Rain began falling
here shortly after midnight and by
daylight the storm had reached the
proportions of cloudburst. The
North Topeka sewers have not been
reopened since the June flood and all
of the water ran through the low
| streets to the river. The water COW
cred the first floors in a number Of
the houses along Gordon street and in
/ the street was three feet deep.
| The state insane asylum west of To-
peka was cut off from the city for a
short time. The little creek that runs
| through Auburndale, suburb, was
| flooded to a depth Of four or five feet
The residents of that part of the city,
who had been through the other flood,
procured boats and brought their
neighbors to the high ground.

Of the newly-elected pope, the latter,
surrounded by his friends, disappeared
into small room near the altar,
where he donned, who can say
with what feelings of triumph and
humility, the white robes of his Of
fee. Plus x. was assisted by his con-
clayist, who first knelt and kissed his
masters hand and thus received the
first apostolic blessing given by Plus
x
As the new pontiff stepped from be-
hind the altar, the only touch of color
about him being his red and gold shoes,
he really seemed to be the embodiment
of his holy Office His face was pale
and clearly softened by emotion. He
paused a moment as he came before
the expectant cardinals, then seated
himself on the throne, with hurried
movement, as though he had suddenly
grown weak. His back was to the al
tar and he was enthroned to serve the
so-called first obedience" of the car
dinals. They came forward, one by
one, some calm and smiling, others
sober and non-committa1, while still
others found considerable difficulty,
even at this hour, in concealing their
too obvious disappointment All kissed
? his hand and foot, while he saluted
each on the cheek, with the kiss of
peace. Then all broke into the tedeum
with such effect that scarcely an eye
was dry. Plus X. then rose and in a
voice At first tremulous but gradually
becoming full and firm, administered
the papal blessing to all of the mem
:, bers of the sacred college. 1t was re-
ceived with bowed and uncovered
heads The fishern1an's ring, not yet
having been found, new one designed
by Carmerlengo Oreglia was placed Oh
thespontiff's finger as a symbol of re-
newed power, and evidence that the
Catholic church has once more a SOW
ereign head.
AS Cardinal Macchi returned to the
sistihe chapel after having performed
his epious duty, the new pope rose
and an effort to- make some kind o.
procession was made, but Plus x. was
literally carried in triumph to his cell
followed by a great concourse and pre-
coded by the cross. He was stopped
every step or two by those anxious
to kiss his ring and receive the papa
blessing, which Sarto accorded witt
great benignity and patience.
The procession traversed many noble
halls until it approached the window
looking into st. Peters. From below
rose a murmur of voices, which, al.
though subduedeb by distance, denoted
the presence of a large concourse OF
people. The pope was seen to grow pale
and then turning to Cardinal Bacillieri
who stood beside him, he said: Now
understand the emotion Pope Leo al
ways showed when going into st. Pc
tiers to have the eyes of great crowd
focused on him. It is almost terrify-
ing." Standing forward, the others
having fallen back, he deliberately
controlled himself and looked across
across the great basi1ica. CROSSING
himself Sarto raised his hand and
in a voice palpably tremulous, he said.
as soon as sfhe cries from below gave
an opportunity: Ajutorium nostrun
in nomine domini.

Chief Justice John Marshall knew
that water would tighten tire on a
wheel; and when he once found a
wheel loose, he drove into a little
creek. This wet one part of the
wheel. Then he drove out, and
backed his horse. The same part of
the wheel went into the water again.
Again he tried it, all the time getting
the same part of the wheel wet. A
negro came along, and, seeing the
situation, told the judge to drive into
the water again. Then the negro
took hold of spoke, turned it around,
and soon had all the wheel wet.
Judge Marshall said, "Why, I never
thought of doing that" The negro
smilingly replied, "Well, some people
nat'ly have more sense than some
others, anyhow"

Last Nights Entertainment.

Ed. Andrews and his clever com.
pany gave the music and fun lovers
of Beatrice real treat at the Pad
dock opera house last night to only a
fnir sized, but appreciative audience.
The opera, or more strictly speak
ing, the operate comedy, was BIRDS
of Feather" This unique play
can certainly claim originality in
style, and is happy Cross between
the higher class opera and legiti-
mate comedy. In fact, Birds of a
Feather" seems to have been writ
ten to suit the varied taste of mix
ed audience.
The lighter element of comedy is
furnished by Ralph Riggs, who is a
good comedian and an exceptionally
clever dancer, while Catherine Lee,
Jay Taylor and Nellie Andrews, give
the lovers of grand opera treat in
their rendition of the heavy musical
numbers.
As for Ed. Andrews in the part of
Mr. Hobbs, it is decidedly his best
since Ko Ho in the opera of Mikado.
Arloine Andrews is daughter of
George Andrews, and her part of
"The Widow Wlggins," makes good
the saying that blood will tell.
While the present company does
not number as many members as
their former repertoire required,
"Birds of Feather" fully makes up
in quality. All in all, we can safely
say the entertainment has but one
equal in the past repertoire of the
Andrews Opera company, and that
is Mikado.
1t is indeed refreshing to see an
operate performance when the
scenes are at all tunes held by capa
BILE artists, instead of the old fash
ioned chorus Beatrice, (Neb }
Daily Sun.
The above company will be at the
opera house Tuesday night, Dec. 20,
and Manager Lee guarantees it to be
strictly A No. l in every particular.
