NEARLY THE LIMIT.
River Goes Up More Slowly Than the
Past Few Days.

The Minnesota river continues to rise,
but it has gone up more slowly the past
twenty-four hours, and the highest
point is expected to be reached tonight,
before any damage is done. The rise
during last night was seven inches.
The city authorities have been in
readiness to pump out the sewer, but the
water has not backed up in the outlet
sufficiently to make this necessary, and
it is not expected that the river will rise
high enough.
Train service has been practically re-
stored to schedule time. Trains from the
south on the Omaha road are still lit
tie delayed.

assistant superintendent of the Omaha
road, is hustler when the occasion de-
mands it. During the recent floods here
he put on overhalls and rubber boots and

Gives Bryan an Awful Roast in caustic
AIlusions to the Leader That Has

Louisville, July 2S.-From belaboring
Cleveland, Henry watterson has turned
to defend him against Bryan In a
spicy editorial on Cleveland he says:
"yYfth characteristic want of tact and
Judgment Mr.. Bryan takes up the theme
He charges the ex-President with having
grown dishonesty rich, with having real
lied millions out of the bond deal, in
point of fact, with having sold himself
and his country to Pierpopt Morgan.
There is no evidence to support such an
accusation to contradict it there is eY-
erything on the side of improbability."
Mr.. Watterson then takes Bryan to
task and gives him some counsel, saying
he is fast becoming the disappointed
claimant and embittered where he might
have been the healer, the builder the
very Warwick of his party. Says Mr..
Watterson in conclusion:
"Even his old admirers will behold in
him a moody, IlIhumored man with a
grievance and so will avoid his company,
OF these things he should begin to sus-
pect if not actually see. The Courier
Journal has been from time to time
warming him. Why Will he not hear to
our older experience if not to our great

est. It is necessary for him to keep a watchman on duty at nights at the laundry to look out for fires and guard the clean and soiled linen on hand. which is worth many hundreds of dol lars. This position has been held down for the last four years by one man. A few days ago he got tired of his job and resigned. His place was filled at once through the agency of Rev. Harvey NJ. Shields, who sent up a man named Jacobs, who had been living off his bounty for some time. The man went there, and for three days nearly drove Grady crazy and the Rev. Shields also. The man was discharged. and MT. Shields se- cured another who is as bad as the first, and Grady 6oes not know wheth
 CT to go near the laundry or not.
 To add to the white mans burden. or rather Tom Grady's burden, he is having some grading done at the laun- dry. and in three days he has had four different men at work. He thinks that he may get the job finished with in a week or two if the stock of men hold out. If they don't, he will se- cure MeXicans to do the work, much as he is opposed to hiring them when he can find a white man out of work.

TO SUE THE COUNTY.
Excessive Valuation of Prorerty by
 Assessor is Alleged.

Tuesday MT. McNeal, an attorney of Douglas, left for Tombstone. to start proceedings in the suit of Julius Vel lehausen, against Cochise county, to forestall the collection of taxes on the unjust assessment put upon his Doug las property. This suit will be close ly watched as much of the property in this city was unfairly assessed. Mr. Wellegehausen was assessed for pro perty he did not own and the prop erty he does own was assessed for a great deal more than it's real value He will not submit to this unfair
 treatment by the assessor, and has now filed the complaint against the county.
 If Mir. Wellegehausen wins his suit, it means that many other real estate owners in Douglas will bring suit against the county. and recover the amount of taxes paid on the over as sessment; if he loses, it means that Douglas people must stand the very unjust assessment and pay taxes on a valuation far beyond all reason,
