NORTH PLATTE HAS A FLOOD
Heavy Rain Accompanied by Hail ana
Wind Destroys Property
of Great Value.

NORTH PLATTE, Neb., July 1.-(Special
Telegram.)-A severe storm came up from
the west last evening about o'clock 1t
was preceded by a strong wind with clouds
going through peculiar antics. Clouds were
noticed with a large funnel whirling with
the point upward. Soon heavy hail began to
fall and fell until the ground was covered
about three inches in depth, The hail
stones were large, many OF them, by
actual measurements, being one and half
inches in diameter, and on shady sides of
buildings hail is yet to be found at this
hour III a. m.). The wind with the hail
caused 1t to do great damage and hun
dreds of window lights were broken out in
this city. Trees were trimmed of half of
small twigs and leaves and some large
branches were broken off. Hail broke
down some electric wire connections.
The streets of the city are practically
inundated on account of the heavy rainfall
which accompanied the storm. The amount
of rainfall, according to weather bureau
reports, was 274 inches. In some parts
of this city the water is flowing through
the houses. Some sidewalks are washed
out and many of them are from six inches
to foot under water. Some of the prin-
cipal streets are just sheets of water vary
ing in depth from one foot to several feet
A boat Is to be seen occasionally in streets
where traffic yesterday went on dry land.
The rainfall continued all night, but the
majority of the rainfall was in the even
ing All crops in the pathway of the
storm are certainly destroyed. AS near as
can be learned the storm began six miles
west of this city, at Birdwood, gave this
city it's brunt and went from here to the
south, how far is not known, as no one
is able to come from the south as yet 1t
is impossible at this time to estimate the
amount of damage done, but surely It will
be thousands of dollars.

Insurance Taxes Held Up.

Insura ace Deputy Pierce is getting wor-
ried about the collection of the reciprocal
tax due from number of insurance COM
panies. The case to test the constitu-
tionality of the law has been in the courts
for over one and a half years and as the
Insurance Company Of North America,
against which the case was started, has
recently filed an amended answer in the
supreme court, II is probable that the case
will finally go to the United States su-
preme court before It will be ended. At
this time there is considerably over $4,000
due the state under the reciprocal tax
law.
Clutter to Draw Bridge Plans.
The famous Jahnel bridge bill. over which
there was such fight in the last legisla-

measure, and the passage of the bill, be-
came effective today and Secretary Dob
son of the Board of Irrigation appointed
Joseph Clutter of Omaha to draw the plans
that are expected to be called for under
the provisions of the measure. Mr.. Clut-
ter has been drawing plans for Douglas
county for some time and has worked for
most of the bridge companies of the state.

year 1904 show a considerable increase
over the shipments of the year 1903, accord
ing to the statistics of the bureau of labor

was 46S2, ,33s head. In 1904 there were
! 955,7 ,79i head of cattle shipped, as COM
| pared with 5,26S head in 1903. The sim
ilarity of these figures is Indicative Of the
steadiness of cattle shipments. The COM
parison of hog shipments for the two
years shows an increase of 5S1 1893 head
| there being 2,742,9O9 head shipped in lsO4
and 2161, ,511 in 1903. The horses and mules
shipments in 1904 were 1882 head and "a, ,s2s

In the shipments of cattle Dodge county
