UP TO HER KNEES.
Mrs. Archie HuddIestOn Woke
Up in a Floating Bed.
Sewer Back Water Flooded Base
ment at 627 Quincy.
FURNITURE RUINED.
Other Cellars in Veale Block Are
Soaked Today.
Mornings Rain Was Too Much
for City Sewers.

Some people would like to go to the
sea shore. some go to the sea shore
and others have the sea shore forceo
upon them.
When Mrs. Archie Huddleston
awoke in her room at 627 Quincy
street, basement floor, this morning
she had little idea that her home had
been transformed into bathing beach.
Thinking that it was the same room
she had lived in for years and believ-
ing that she awoke in the same old way
Mrs. Huddleston rubbed her eyes for
few moments, woke up her husband
and slowly brushing aside the clothes
until the water made rings around her
out over the edge to the floor
But that was the trouble. Mrs.
Huddleston expected to find soft
carpet and instead she slid like a mer-
maid into a swirling pool. Before she
could stop her downward course she
had dropped into her bedroom beach
until the aterw made rings around her
knees.
Screaming she grabbed frantically at
the bed clothes as If they were the last
remnants of deep sea wreckage, and
grabbing the hand of her husband who
had leaned out over the starboard to
save his wife, Mrs Huddleston was
pulled back into bed-saved.
1t happened this way.
The sewers in the vicinity of Sew
enth and Quincy streets have been CIV
ing the city officials considerable both
er. After every heavy rain the trash,
hay, sticks, etc, gather in the sewers
and choke them.
This caused a back flow of water
and all of the laterals in all the streets
and alleys in this sewer district are

makes use of every opening.
In the basement of the Veale block

Ing on Quincy street between Sixth and
Seventh-the sewer connections drain
the building. If these connections are
not stopped and plugged in the proper
manner the back water shoots out of
them in a five-foot stream and in a
short time will flood the Easements of
the building.
This morning in the heavy rain from
$50 until late in the morning the choke
in the Seventh street sewer came before
the people living in the block had
arisen. The noise of the thunder
drowned the Kissing of the water as it
spouted out of the Huddleston connec-
about O'Clock they found themselves
sleeping in boat-a boat on legs, |
springs and a mattress.
When the excitement had subsidized
even LnOuSn the water refused TO DO so
Mr.. Huddleston figured out the cause
of the turmoil through his slee~- eyes
and jumping into the rapidly rising tor
rents he dove in the artesian stream
which was shooting as high as the
Kitchen cupboard and inserted a plug.

all that might wish to leave.
1t was found that every basement in
the Veale block-which covers eight 25
foot fronts, was flooded Below the
Kansas Book company's office in the
south end of the block the water was
deepest. 1t rose to a height of about
five feet. This is the lowest basement
in the building. This company had
stored away a number of boxes. Lucki- |

Merchants Say Recent Dull
Spell Is Broken.
Eugene Lodge to Meet Wednes-
day Night Hereafter.

Farmers in the vicinity of the North
side say that this rain today has al
most saved the corn crop. OF course
in Kansas a person can never be sure
of the crop until it is harvested and
exchanged for the lengthy green, but
the showers this morning have brought
to the agriculturists the smile that
won't evaporate and is not affected by
the iampress.
The merchants are also glad because
the farmers are glad, because when the
latter are glad they are glad to CAD
in the stores - do more trading. So
this morning witnessed several mutual
rejoicing parties within and without
the gates. A North side merchant in
speaking of the effects of the rain said
this morning:
1.-The rain. certainly came at an OPP
perfume time. Within the last few days
trade has been so dull that it couldn
cut prices. There was nothing nap
Pening. The farmers would say, l am
not going to buy anything until l see
whether we will have crop or not,

even hardware used in farm work. II

line of merchandise. However, To-Day >
business is picking up
1.-THE farmers are coming into the
stores wearing a grin which couldn't
be ironed out"

Sanitary Inspector Bean has COM
menced work on a long needed i'm
provement on the city sewer which
enters the Kennebec river under the
clubhouse of the Augusta Yacht Club
The sewer which is of 20inch iron
pipe, had become disconnected at the
joint between two pieces OF pipe
which allowed the discharge to come
out Just below the clubhouse float
and at low tide to collect on the
shore, constituting a nuisance of no
small dimensions. This joint will be
closed and another section of pipe will
be added to the sewer so that it will
discharge farther out into the river,
and the pipes will also be swung
around so that the outlet of the sewer
will be at the corner of the steam
boat wharf.

scended is chargeable with notice of
such ler, and any attachment made
by him of such share is subject to the
