ODDLY SHAPED Spiders.

The most peculiar spiders in the
world, as we'll as the largest ones. in
habit the island of Sumatra. They are
of all conceivable forms and colors, and
some of them spin threads almost as
large and strong as the grocer's Irvine.
Some queerly shaped spiders have
square bodies poised on long red legs.
and others have crooked green and vel
low legs which support heart shaped
bodies. One Of the very oldest Of the
lot has body that looks like that Of
young turtle, the ''shell' having round
knobs and pear shaped projections all
over it.

Banks.
Evidence OF the heavy rain and wind
storm Of Tuesday night was to be seen on
every side yesterday. and Broadway in tine
vicinity Of the Northwestern tracks, was
as usual after an overflow from Indian
creek a veritable mudhole. The mud how
ever, was not confined to that. portion of
Broadway alone, as the water from the hill
streets such as First street, Glen and Park
avenues carried down a large quantity OF
dirt, which was distributed over the side
walk on che north side Of Broadway. be-
tween First and Bryant streets. Many cell
lars on this side of Broadway also were
flooded.
Indian creek overfiowed its banks from
Ninth street to the Northwestern bridges,
but beyond covering Broadway with the
usual deposit OF mud and debris, the dam
age done was not as great as on former
occasions Of a like character.
At Benton street the rush Of water un-
dermined the supports OF the bridge across
the creek and one end OF the structure set
| tied into the bed of the stream.
In the vicinity OF Main and Pearl streets
the water flowed over the sidewalks on both
sides Of Broadway and several cellars were
more or less flooded, but the damage done
was slight
| The recently laid paving on the upper
end OF North Second street was undermined
| by the heavy flow OF water and on Lincoln
avenue the paving was considerably dam
aged
As was to be expected the flood carried
great quastity OF dirt down the creek,
filling up to a depth Of a foot or more where
the work of excavating has been carried
on and this portion Of the work will have
to be all gone over again.
The wind blew down a number of sign
| boards, fences and trees In different parts
OF the city. A large tree on the property
| OF Judge J. r. Reed on Glen avenue was
| blown down and onto the house occupied by
Frank Capell and family adjoining A hole
was broken in the roof OF the kitchen, al
lowing the rain to pour in and badly flood
| the house.
| For time the water was so deep at the
| Northwestern tracks that the large motors
| on the Omaha line were unable to make
| their way through it. The same conditions
prevailed on South Main street, where, in
I the vicinity OF the Burlington depot, the
! water filled the street from curb to curb,
| forcing the motors to back UP.
| The electrical storm which accompanied
the rain and wind was the severest seen
| in this city for long time. Lightning
struck the frame cottage occupied by
George Booten on Avenue H. but beyond
| ripping off a portion Of the shingled roof
did not do any damage, although the MEM
| bers OF the household were more or less
| shocked. .- &c.,.

sist in entertaining the meeting at Des

piled, saying: Council Bluffs aerie has
