Wonders of the Missouri River An Is.
land Of Fish.
rIrom thr 81. Jo-cnh MOD Gazettc }


In the Missouri River, directly opposite
Forest City III Holt county, there Is a large
lslasd, and III the g inter- of that island is n
large pond, which, until few DAYS since
rested III peace, undisturbed by the rude
alarms of transgressing world. But the
cold spell which came down upon the lust and
unjust with H. zeal never before remembered,
put a seal upon the bosom of that fair lake
which vulgar and communicating people
have miscalled pond 20 the depth of two
feet. The island lake which had remained
nvioate through time was visited by
Jones Lockrdge, who keeps the Forest City
Hotel, and the seal was broken When the
Ice was removed the space beneath was found
to be literally packed with fish of all sizes
and descriptions, from the common cat.
weighing forty pounds, to All animated silver,
not much larger than pin.
There were fish with shnvels where their
noses should be, sword-tsh, red fish, black
fish and white fish, and fish of all colors an 1
degrees. Some Of them had scales, and
some had skins like catfish, and others yet
rejoiced in covering resembling that of the
muskrat but they were fish for all that
Then the story flew all over the country, and
people from far and near came down upon
the island armed with guns, spears harpoons
and lapces and III all kind aud manner of |
vehicles, on horseback and on foot There |
came brave men and fair women, big bows |
and girls and smaller ditto; there, also, could |
be seen children in arms ard all strong in |
one intent to get away with these fish, for |
these days are Lent. It is supposed that there
must be some connection with this lake and |
the Missouri River, il not with regions more
remote and deeper down into the bowels of
the earth. Many Of the fish taken from this |
place were of varieties unknown in this sec
ton of the country.

There is every prospect that the var be
tween the i Gilmore and Ohio and the Penn
sylvania railroads, which has been waginl
with more or less violence for several weeks
past, will soon involve Erie and the Central
Railroad men concur in the belief that thu
pressure Of extreme competition must sooner
or later draw the outside lines into the war,
thus practically multiplying the famous sara
toga compact. Oae of these gentlemen. who
is in a position to know, says:
g have no doubt that before the end Of
another week we shall see general war with
each Of the great trunk lines doing business
in its own way, and at its own rates, without
regard to schedule compacts or anything but
its own individual interest. Erie and the
Central feel sore over over their loss Of Gus
tom since the Baltimore and ONO and the
PENNSYLVANIA roads began their fight. For
long time they stuck to the Saratoga compact,
but of late they have been cutting down their
freight rates to keep pace with the combat
ants only to-day there was a large ship
ment made by one Of the Central freight
lines to Buffalo at a reduction OF over one
third, and this is now a common custom
Naturally shippers go TO the cheapest carriers,
all else being equal, and hence while Scott
and Garrett have been hacking at each other
they have materially crippled the business of
the Central and Erie
These roads were forced INTO the market
for aelf- preservation, and although they keep
up hollow pretense of adhering to the
schedule they are open to trade just as well
as the others"
The Pennsylvania Railroad claims to be
running up to the schedule but some Of its
agents, merchants say, are taking freight at a
considerable reduction. Mr.. Gossler the
general freight agent Of the line, says that he
had made no orders to cut the schedule, nor |
does he know of any such orders from the |
management 1t has generally been custom
AIRY since the Saratoga compact, he says to |
make slight reductions from the schedule on |
heavy shipments, but he denies that there |
has been any cutting in avor Of light ship
mentS
The Erie and Central agents deny that they
have been cutting their rates, but it was
known at the office OF the Cheap Transporta-
ton Society weeks ago that private arrange
ments could be and We're made by shippers
the compact being even then violated, but
not SO openly as now.
President Jewett, of the Erie Railway, saws
that his 70 I'd has not suffered very severely
by either the passenger or the freight reduc-
hon OF the Baltimore and Ohio. 'Of course,
we feel it more or less, he says, IS i'll not so
much as to embarrass us. What we look to as
our chief aim now is to preserve peace among
ourselves our connections.

Husbands and Home. Made Shirts.


A day or two ago, while crossing the ice,
we overheard two ladies talking about a new
dress, and one OF the ladies remarked that
"When tried it on, asked Rob if it was
good fit about the waist" and he replied,
''WelI, should say not. 1t fits about as well

in Rob's reply. ASS rule, homemade shirts
don't fit at all. They will draw in at the

A Remedy for Nightmare.

Slight arrangement of the diges-
tive or other functions is often
sufficient to occasion a temporary
deliruin in children, commencing
during sleep and prolonged after
waking: The suffering is great
and the condition an alarming one
to parents and friends. The men,
tai excitment is so intense as to-
resist impressions from without, to-
an extraordinary degree. 1t is
here that the associations of smell
can be used more effectively than
any others to break up the morbid
train. A good Whit of colonge
almost always brings the little suf-
ferer back to its ordinary world /;
or little ammonia may be used.
But an odor which is agreeable is
probably more effective than one
which is merely pungent. It is q
common observation that mental
associations are awakened by odors
more than by the impressions Of
any other sense. In the case OF
nightmare the strong familiar smell
seems TO break up the train Of
abnormal mental excitement.
