The MIS- SOURI, RIVER UNIox LINE
This excellent line of Missouri River
packets has been fully organized, and
everything is now ready for it to go into
operation early in the spring. At late
meeting of the Captains of boats compo-
sing the line, the days were fixed on which
each steamer would leave St. Louis and
ST. Joseph throughout the season.
The days for leaving St. Louis are as
follows:
Peerless. Bissell, Monday.
Morning Star. Burke, Tuesday.
Star of the West, Gilman, Wednes-
day.
A. B. Chambers. Gillian, Thursday.
D. A. January, Yore, Friday.
Minnehaha, Baker. Saturday.
Twilight, Shaw, Monday.
Hesperian, Kercheval, Tuesday.
South Wester, DeHaven, Wednesday.
Ben Lewis, Briefly, Thursday.
Col. Crosman, Cheever, Friday.
Kate Howard, Manson, Saturday.
One of these boats will leave St. Louis
for st. Joseph punctually on advertised
time every day of the week, Sundays ex-
cepted. One of them will await the
arrival of the cars at Jefferson City every
day, without fail. and the boats will
make all the mail and other landings in
the river between the mouth and St.
Joseph. They will also make connec-
tions with the Council Bluffs and Omaha
packets above that point. We shall have
more to say of this line hereafter. For
the present let it be remembered that the
Missouri River Union Line is affixed fact.

NOTICE.

THIS is to notify and warn all persons tres
i passing on the Reservations Of the Sacs
and Foxes of Missouri, and Iowa Indians, that
If they do not desist therefrom, shall be com
PEELED to put in force the laws Of the United
States against such offenders.
A rumor has by some means got abroad, that
these Indians have or are about TO sell their
lands or Reserves; this, doubtless, has occasion
ed the movement of claim making on the same.
In order to remove this impression, now state
that no treaty has been made nor is about to be
made for this purpose.

FACTS IN HUMAN LIFE.-The number
Of languages spoken is 1904. The mum
Der of men is about equal to the number
of women. The average of human life il
33 years. One quarter die before the age
of seven. One half before the age OF
seventeen. To every 900 persons, one
only reaches 100 years. TO every 100,
only six reach IS years; and not more
than one in 500 reaches the age of ~
years. There are on earth 900. 900, 600
of inhabitants. Of these 80, 1913, 1913 die
every year; 81 1924 die every day; 1880
every hour, and 60 every minute - or
one for every second.
These losses arc about balanced by an
equal number of births. The married are
longer liecd than the si4gle and above
oil, those who observes Sober and indus
trious conduct. Tall men live longer than
short ones. Women have more chances
Of life previous to the age Of fifty years
than men, but fewer after. The number
Of marriages is in proportion of IS to 100.
Marriages arc most frequent after the
equinOxes, that is, during the months of
June and December. Those lorn in
spring are generally more robust than
others. Births aud deaths are more frc.
quent by night than by day. Number of
men capable OF bearing arms is calculated
at One-fourth of the population.

Till he talks himself into rage, tsumc,
Then march Offup stairs to my own little room
Where in peace eau scan over each page.
And If by mere chance happen to hear
Papa's or mama's well known tread,
catch up some work that keep very near,
And the book slip under the bed.
