People along river bank be-
come dubious

Last evening the old Missou-
ri was ready to overflow its
banks along the borders of
South Omaha. The old time
river men in this vicinity say
that the rise this year will be
one of the highest on record.
1t is said that in the past
twenty-four hours the river
has come up at least three feet.
Fishermen and other dwell
ers along the banks of the riv-
er are watching the gradual
swell of the river and are pre-
pairing to take to higher ground
at any moment. The men
about the rendering works are
getting out their boats in pre-
paration for the worst. The
factory is built on the bank
just below the Mud creek sew
er and is sure to be affected by
the rise.
During the past few years
several homes have been built
along the low lands south and
east of Missouri avenue. All
of these people are looking
anxiously in the direction Of
the already raging flood.
1t is not an unusual thing
for the river to come up every
June, but this year the people
along the eastern city limits
are watching it with more than
usual anxiety.
One fisherman said Sunday:
sShe sure looks bad now, l
never remember seeing the old
Nilsson take on so much water
so quick before, | believe she'll
go to the Burlington tracks
this year."

The Rock OF Moses.

The Strand: The Crock of
Moses" lies in the wild valley
at the base of Jebel Musca, the
Mount of the Law, inthe PENN
ula of Sinai. The rock is 10 or
20 feet high, slightly inclined
a rough indentation running
over each side, which is inter-
sected here and there with Sits
and the stone is worn away in
places as if from the effects of
running water. It's beyond
doubt the oldest known legen-
Diary object in the vicinity.
The Koran refers to this rock
more than once, and from these
alllsions arose the reverence of
the Bedouins, who hold it sacred
From the middle ages onward
it has been visited by Christian
pilgrams, who have carved rude
crosses in it's side. Of all the
objects in the desert it is most
closely bound up with the SIM
pie faith of its wild inhabitants
and of it's early visitants.

Justice Asked.

G. w. Eagan, of Sioux Falls,
South Dakota, who was disbar-
red by the court of that state,
after haviving been elected to
a judicial positin by the largest
majority ever given any man in
the county, is now asking the
Suprem Court Of the State to
restore him to his former posi-
ton as an Attorney, which we
hope the Court will do. It
seems to us, at this distance,
that this caging, as it were,
this young, talented, eloquent
Attorney is only assisting him
in the growth of his (egaD
claws to grow longer, stronger,
and sharper, so when he finally
emeres from his forced retire
ment, which he certainally will
do, his enemies will regret their
action the more in this disbar-
ring matter.
This fight against Mr.. Eagan
is more a matter of prejudice
and personal spite than for real
cause and will result in the fl
nal triumph of the right. No
man who has the approval of SC
large a majority of the people
with him as has G. w. Eagan,
can long be kept in retiremet,
and while it is not our fight
nor do we presume to dictate
to South Dakota in this fight
but if we were disposed to bet
we would bet that George w
Eagan will finally triumph over
his enemies, and will add honor
to the name of South Dakota
He is a Republican and we a
Democrat, yet we despise the
littlness of any party or mar
who persecutes a man for being
learned, eloquent, and popular
and shall be pleased to see Mr.
Egan successful in his effort tx
be restored, by the Court, tt
his proper position.

little whether the victims lived
