and frequently gets cheated out of
his earnings. He puffs up and does
more for the town and county than

Last Friday night and Saturday
the Canadian river rose at tremen
dous speed and the whole bed was
filled with a boiling, surging mass
of waves. The current was high
enough to dash against the newly
constructed wagoi-bridge but it
stood firm and strong. The railroad
bridge however was soon under-
mined at the north end and several
piers were soon swinging as the
sand was washed cut from around
the piling.- By Sunday morning five
bents had gone out and trains had
ceased running. Sunday evening a
large force of hands arrived to make
repairs with a steam pile driver
and new timbers. They worked
night and day and succeeded in
getting matters in shape again yes-
terday. Monday several hacks and
teams were secured and passengers,
express-matter and freight were
transferred across the rirer to the
train on this side for tronsportation
down the road. The loes to the
railroad will be considerable and
the inconvenience to our people still
greater.
