array of talent at the Mo. Val

of the whole state. There. is
not another Chautauqua in To-

that has been given the people
of Mo. Valley and vicinity at
this Chautauqua. Georges bus
mess takes him all over the
state and he has already visited
several Chautauquas in Iowa
and says none of them compare
with the Mo. Valley Chautauqua
as far as talent is concerned.
This has been Mo. Valleys

proved a grand success, and

WEIGH Believes Highest Point
Has Been Reached.
Nonpareil, July 8. Thous-
ands of acres are flooded and
hundreds of acres of crops are
threatened with total loss by
the waters of the Missouri
river which began to flow over
the banks of that stream early
Thursday morning. A rise of
four feet in the forty-eight
hours preceding 6 o'clock last
evening sent the water up to a
height almost equaling the
flood of 1898 and caused a num-
Der of danger points about the
city to be seriously threatened.
a portion of the rip rapping
which has been placed at the
narrows by the Illinois Central
railroad was reported last night
to be rushing away and a force
of men worked all night to hold
the protection in place. About
midnight reports reached the
offices of the Illinois Central
that the tracks in East Omaha
were washing away and a large
number of men was dispatched
to guard the road at that point.
MAY GO INTO RIVER.
If the river succeeds in wash
ing out the rip rapping at the
narrows about one-fourth of a
mile of the Illinois Central
track may go into the river,
and there is danger of a flood
in the lower part of the city.
The railroad at this point has
been the main bulwark against
the rivers enroachments. At
the motor bridge the water be-
gan to flow over the banks of
the river yesterday and by
evening the crops were partly
inundated. East of Lake Man
ava a large acreage Of farm
land was reported flooded last
night in depths ranging from
six to thirty inches. The water
stretches back for a distance of
four miles from the lake.
FILLING UP LAKE MANAWA.
The river began to enter
Lake Manawa yesterday thro'
an old channel, and at nine
o'clock last night an eighteen
inch rise in the waters of the
Lake was reported, with a con-
tinued rise of one inch per
hour during the early hours of
the night.
At 9 o'clock last night Wealth
err Observer Welch at Omaha
declared that the crest of the
wave had reached Omaha and
predicted that the river would
soon begin to subside. Reports
had reached him from Sioux
City indicating the fall of the
river at that point. Observer
Welch stated that while the
river might not fall rapidly at
this point, he believed it would
go no higher.
DOTTED WITH DRIFT WOOD.
The river yesterday was dot
ted with drift wood floating in
the yellow waters. The cur
rent was very swift, and made
a constant roaring as it dashed
against the piers of the bridge.
Even the most daring boatmen
on either side of the river re-
NAMED close to the banks.
Seven years ago the river
rose about one foot higher than
the flood of last night. The
|grounds Of the H. F. Cady Lum-
Der Co. and the smelling COM
pany were flooded at that time,
but no damage was done to
them. The bottoms were flood

The costs of the Dennison

tor of Montgomery county to
G. w. Atkins, auditor of Harri-
son, are $1623.29. There is al
so 1929. 90 which the state has
moved to be retaxed.
So the $3,5OO.0O of many
papers and the $5,OOO.OO of a
Harrison county periodical
does not materialize.
It has been generally under
stood that the civic fedora
ton of Omaha and the Jeweler
protection association were to
assist in paying these COSTS,
We do not know of any agree
ment to that effect. Havey
never heard of it, but it would
only be right they should. If
these associations wish to pro-
secute Dennison on the other
indictment now over him, it
might be as we'll for them to
put up the costs as the average
taxpayer of Harrison has very
little desire to pay for Grim inal
prosecution of non-residents.
Yet it is a very serious de-
feet in our criminal laws that
in cases like Dennison's the
prosecution must be paid for
by those who are trying ac-
