hoon and there has been no communi-
cation with our sister city since that
time. 1t was reported then that the
water was up into the business Sec
ton of the town, and that the base
ment and first floor of the InterOcean
hotel and the Mandan Mercantile Co.,
was flooded and that it was in the
buildings occupied by the N. P. shops.

Most Of the flood in Mandan is said
to have been occasioned by back wat
er from the Heart river. That there
will be thousands of dollars damage
q practically sure, but just how high
the loss will run cannot be ascertain
ed at the present time. When COM
munfcation will be established is a
matter of considerable guess work, but
It is impossible at the present time for
l1nemen to work.
Fifty Greek laborers marooned be-
tween the bridge and Mandan, We're
taken from their house just in time to
save them from being swept down the
river by the force of the current.
A few deer and large number of
rabbits were forced to seek refuge
from the high water and a number of
them came within easy guns1lot of the
along the river banks.
The Bismarck Gun club stationed
guards along the river and anyone
caught attempting to shoot the animals
will propably be prosecuted to the full
lest extent Of the law.
The ice gorge at the bridge broke at
about $3.50 but did not seem to relieve
conditions locally as a large gorge fur
ther down the river held and the wat
Or continued to flow over the bottoms
During the evening hours the stage
OF water f1uctuated as the gorges in
the upper river would break. The
water was higher in the bottoms near
town early this morning than it had
been at any time during the day, but
1t is predicted that the worst has pass
ed unless there should be another
gorge form on the river.
There is no danger of the big bridge
going out, and it is said that the
steamers Washburn and Bismarck,
which are locked at the warehouse,
are in no danger of being broken up.

flood Of 1887, when the water reached
a point at the foot Of Third street
some six or eight feet deep over the
level lands.
There have been two previous floods
OF the Missouri in the last thirty
years approaching this one. nj 1881
there was the highest water known in
the memory Of the Oldest inhabitant.
The water at that time reached such
a stage on the bottoms that the big
steamer Eclipse drew up to the foot
Of Third street and took on passeng-
ers for Mandan, making the trip over
the bottoms, which are ordinarily dry
and far above the water. At that time
great masses of ice swept over the en-,
tire bottom and the water rose to
such a stage that the whole low land
between this city and the river and
from there to Mandan resembled an
immense lake.
Maudan was flooded, the business
section being submerged to a depth Of
several feet, the great ice cakes be-.
ing floated through the principal
streets. The same thing occurred,
but with less damage in the high
water Of 1887. Yesterdays stage Of
water was the nearest approach to-
that Of 1887. =

At the present time the 500 line is
giving special rates on Ignite coal
from Wilton to Bismarck and other
points so that the reduction that will
be very material generally will not
appear so important so far as Bis.
marck and other favored points are
concerned.
For instance the present rate from
Wilton to Bismarck, % miles is 40
! cents per ton for local delivery and
80 cents per ton when destined to
points on the Northern Pacific. Un-
der the statute the new rate will be
40 cents from Wilton to Bismarck,
the same as the present special rate
The greatest reduction will be en-
joyed by more distant points.
Under the present tariff, special
80 cents from Wilton to Bismarck
and present rate from Bismarck to
jamestown, SO cents, makes total

$1.28 per ton. Under the new rate,
if the 500 charges schedule, or max
imum from Wilton to Bismarck, 40
cents, plus 62 cents the distance max
imum rate from Bismarck, the tariff
from Wilton to jamestown will be
$102-a saving of rs cents per ton
over present rate. To Fargo under
the old rate the tariff was $1.64. Un-
der the new schedule it will be $1.31
a reduction of 80 cents per ton. If
the 500 continues it's special rate to
Bismarck for shipment on the North.
ern Pacific a further reduction of 10
cents per ton will be had.
On the 500, the present to Cakes,
1856 miles, is $3.50. Under the new
schedule the rate will be but 81
cents.
From Bitumen, the Satterlund
mine in Mclean county, the present
rate, special, is 60 cents. Under the
new schedule it will be 46 cents.
From these comparative figures it
may be figured approximately what
the reduction will be all over the.
state on all the lines of railroad.

Harris and Jackson had been keeping
up a running fight with some Mexicaps
for nearly an hour when England in

badly cut by the negroes. Jackson saw
England first and escaped. Harris ran
a short distance and picked up brick
bat, which he threw at the officer. 1t
was then, England says, that he drew
his revolver, a .38 caliber affair, and
fired at Harris. The first shot took
effect and Harris fell.
The negro was taken to the police
station, where Drs. Wehe, Hogeboom
and Keith dressed his wound 1t is be-

SUGAR CANE DAY.
Chicago Cinnamon Eat More Than
Ton of Saccharine Article.

Chicago, Oct. 31.-"Sugar Cane day"
was observed in Chinatown yesterday
by the consumption of more than q
ton of the saccharine article, which is
the Chinese favorite confection.
The first shipment of cane arrived
Saturday from New Orleans, and every
Chinaman in town came to Clark street
to gorge himself on the sweetened
stalks. At some of the stores where
cane was sold there were contests
among the gourmands as to which
could eat the most.
Cinnamon seldom eat candy.'' said
Frank Woy, the mayor of Chinatown
but I never knew one who wasn't
crazy about sugar cane. The first
shipment, which usually arrives about
November 1, is anxiously looked for
by my countrymen.
"a dozen stores on Clark street had
cane on sale today, and there isn't
stalk of it left. The prices vary ac-
cording to the size OF the stalk. Some
of them cost 40 cents. ate two of the
40 cent size myself
"Chinamen have a weakness for
chocolate, ice cream soda. perfumed
soap, sugar cane and having their
photographs taken. I have seen my
countrymen spend SIS for soap to take
back with them to China It is moth
ing unusual to see a Chinaman buy
perfumed soap at 25 and so cents a
cake. Some of them take a trunk full

The women claimed the right to
vote on the grounds that the law au-
thorized them to vote on school mat
ters and therefore they could vote
for county and state superintendent
of schools. The election officers ac-

assisted them in making out their
ballots.
The precinct election officers were

invalidate the whole vote in the pre-
