PlattslnoutfrIs
Flooded by Rain
Burlington Tracks Threatened
Business Houses Filled
.-. With Water.

Plattsmouth, Neb., July 2.-(Spe-
cial.)-The heaviest rain storm OF
years visited this vicinity, three and
a half inches of rain falling. Main
street resembled river and base
ments of business houses were food
ed. Storm sewers proved wholly
inadequate to carry the water and
backed up into cellars over the lower
section of the city. On some streets
the mud washed down from the hills
was piled as high as three feet. Pro-
tecting dykes surrounding the Bur-
lington shops were broken and dam
age xeceeding $1,000 is estimated.
A rapid fall in the Missouri river,
coupled with the heavy rain caused
the sweeping away of 500 feet of
Missouri river bank rip rapping on
the Iowa side. The Burlington had
just completed the work when the
lowering waters undermined the
banks. Division Superintendent N.
c. Allen, who has been at the scene
of the trouble for several days, i'm
sent a call for additional
help to Plattsmouth. The Burling-
ton has spent hundreds of thousands
of dollars to protect the tracks, and
today the swirling waters are nearer
than ever to the main line leading
east from the bridge over the river
here.
Flood waters have reached the
mark of last years June
rise, inundating hundreds of acres
of land north and east Of this city,
but indications are no further rise
will follow. The ball park is under
water as we'll as the road leading to
the Missouri river ferry.

CINE or embers from the plant and

Gas Explosion Hurls> S
From Beds, Killing Baby
Leak in Pipe Causes Blast That
Destroys Home; Two More
Expected to Die

ROCHESTER, N. Y, Oct. 23.-Nat-
ural gas that leaked from a service pipe
in the cellar of William Goodberlets
house in Scottville caused an explosion
at o'clock this morning. The force
of the blast nearly wrecked the dwell
ing and started a fire in every room.
Goodberlet and his son, Eugene,
fourteen years old, were blown out of
bed and into hallway, while James
Warren and his wife, Marie, with their
infant son, were hurled from their bed
into an adjoining room. Their bodies
were burned and blistered and their
nigh clothes set on fire.
The two men made their way to the
outside door, which they found was
bulged tight by the impact of the ex-
plosion. 1t could not be opened. The
glass was broken and the family es-
capped onto the porch. The report of
the explosion was SO loud that the
villagers were aroused and came to the
aid of the stricken ones. Firemen at
tackled the flames, but were not able
to save the dwelling.
The injured persons were taken to
st. Mary's Hospital in an ambulance,
where the baby died at noon. Good
berlets death is expected. His niece,
Mrs. Warren, is likely to die.

MANILA, Philippine Islands, Oct. %
(By The Associated Press).-Great
Britain and the United States and the
peoples each has assisted would stand
together in event of any struggle in the
Far East, Viscount Northcliffe, English

Despite slight surface difficulties,
the English-speaking peoples of the
world are insensibly drawing near to
each other. The process may be slow,
but it will be a ,sure one and it will
be greatly accelerated by any sign of
hostile action from the peoples of the
Far East"
