THE RIVER.

The river is seven feet and three inches
above low water.
The only steamers now lying at the levee
are the Terry, Black Hills and Benton.
The Niobrara arrived from Fort Pierre
this forenoon, and after a brief stop at our
landing passed on down to Sioux City.
The current has attacked the bank Just
above the mouth of the Rhine with renew.
ed fury, aud large slices of earth are mo-
mentarily dropping into the river. About
two hundred feet of the side track of the
Dakota Southern has been removed, and at
one point the earth has disappeared where
the track was cafe yesterday. 1t is evident
that the entire side track will have to be
removed, and even the main track ia seri-
ously threatened. If the cutting continues
for a day or two longer at the rate it has
to-day it will certainly reach the main track
and make its removal necessary. Since q
channel has been cut through the large
sand bar the full force of the current strikes
the bank just below where the steamers
Terry and Black Hills are tied up, and from
that point to the mouth of the Rhine the
yielding earth is rapidly disappearing in
the muddy current. The ground which
was last week occupied by the government
warehouses and platforms has entirely dis
appeared. No immediate remedy can be
applied, and the battle will haye to be left
to the river and the bank. Fortunately no
buildings or valuable grounds are hazarded.

MAJOR B E SEWER.
Death Of a Tennessee Pioneer in Mis-.
souri,.

Richmond MOI Cor. st. Louis Republican ]
Major Robert Sewer, an old and re-
spected citizen of Ray county, died
here this morning at l:20 o'clock. He
was a man whose life was interviewer
with the history of our country, and
was descended from a noble race of
ancestors, his father being the Sewer
who was second in command at the
battle of Kings Mountain. Robert
was born in Greenville, Tenn, October
30, 1901, and entered West Point about
the age of eighteen. He was a class
mate of Robert Il. Lee, Jefferson
Davis and Albert Sidney johnson, and
graduated with the highest honors of
the institution. He was in active SER
vice during the Florida war, and also
on the Texas frontier. He resigned
his commission about the year 1887,
moved to Ray county in 1910, and was
appointed Circuit Court clerk in 1915.
Afterwards being elected to fill that
position he held it for twenty years.
As an evidence Of his discernment and
knowledge of men, at the breaking out
of our late civil war, he declared with
prophetic voice that its duration would
depend on the position taken by two
men, Albert Sidney johnson and
Robert 4. Lee. They went with the
South and the war lasted four years.
When Jefferson Davis visited Kansas
City, a few years since, MaiOr Sewer
went there to meet him, and the in.
terview between these old friends was
very gratifying to each, and will long be
remembered by all who saw it. He wa,
a strict member Of the Presbyterian
Church, and died, as he lived, firm in
the belief of a blessed Redeemer, and
without an enemy in the wide world.
Our Circuit Court, Judge Dunn pre-.
siding, which is now in session, vii.
adjourn to-morrow in honor of hii
memory. Major Sewer was twice
married, his first wife being the sistel
Of General Sibley, and his seeonC
wife, who survives him, the sister o
the late Governor Austin A. King
lie leaves one son, Charles Sewer
who inherits a large and valuable es
tate and worthily succeeds to tn,
honored name of his noble father.

A Portuguese Heroine.


A correspondent at Lisbon vouches
for the truth of the following nara
tive, which he translates from the
Diaria de Noticias at the distance
of one kilometre from the village Of
Fratel, near Mia Il. e. on the frontier
Of Spain and Portugal, near the town
Of Portalegre), Theresa Maria, who
was carrying her husbands dinner to
him in the zelda, was told by a little
shepherd boy that a wolf was prowl-
ing about the place. Wishing to see
one for the first time in her life. she
put down her basket and climbed up
to a high place to which the boy d.
rected her. There she saw the animal
in the act of devouring a lamb. The
shepherd boy began shouting and
throwing stones. TO see whether it
would let 90 its prey and the wolf in
in its fury then attacked the poor little
fellow, jumping up at his face, tearing
the flesh from his jaws and throwing
him upon the ground. The woman.
seeing the boys imminent danger. in
an impulse Of heroic self-deyotion, ran
on the wolf wholly unarmed. seized
tight hold Of him, and then, after a
struggle, contFived to blind him with
a stone, and eventually killed him.
Meanwhile, the boy whom she had
rescued ran, wounded as he was, to
seek help in the village. While sew
eral villagers were coming up, armed
with guns, stones and sticks, to kill
the beast and save the woman from
its fangs, she was returning to the vii.
lage covered with blood, and with her
arms, hands and face terribly wounded.
She said that at times she was on the
point Of being overcome, but con
trived to keep the animal 5
throat in the close hold of her
left arm, while hitting him hard
on the head with a stone which she
was able TO pick up. She was taken
10 the Mia Hospital. 1t is with re.

THE DREADED FEVER.
New Orleans and nsmphls Preparing 10
Give yellow lack" the Cold
Shoulder This Season


Chicago Timos.l
DIR. j. H. Rauch, ex-president Of
the State board of health, has Just re.
turned from his Southern trip, ami a
reporter called on him last evening at
the Burdick House to learn the results
of it. He went as a delegate 70 the
convention called by the State board
o. health Of Tennessee, to convene at
Memphis, to consider the best means
of preventing the introduction and
spread of epidemics, and especially Of
yellow fever and cholera, and during
his absence he made many practical
observations in the fever country,
He went first to New Orleans,
where the yellow fever started
last year. He says that the authori-
ties and citizens there are doing
nobly to prevent the recurrence OF the
dreadful disease. The quarantine
regulations of the city are as good as
in the time of the military occupation
during the war every effort is made
to remove filth and dirt, so as to keep
the city clean, and he has great hopes
for the place this summer. He speaks
in the highest terms of the Auxiliary
Sanitary Association, of New Orleans,
an organization composed of public
spirited business men, which meets
once a week, and which spares no ex-
pense in its efforts to keep the city
healthy. The refuse matter is all
promptly carted away, the streets are
kept clean, all vessels arrived are
quarantined, the process of ~fumigatiOn
is thoroughly employed wherever its
use can in the least be eticacious, and
the citizens seem from the efforts TO
be fully awake to the Importance Of
strict sanitary regulations.
Throughout the South he found a
great fear of the yellow fever this
summer. The members Of the mid
die and lower classes are saving every
zen they can so as to get away if the
disease should make its appearance;
in many instances work is left undone,
gardens and fields are neglected, the
owners saying hat it is Of no use to
work, since they will have to leave
when hot weather comes. The
wealthier classes have, from the first,
determined to spend the summer
North if possible and necessary, and
such is the feeling of insecurity and
disquietude among all classes hal but
a single case of fever is required to
produce general and instantaneous
exodus.
Memphis is also doing all she can
to clean up and render an attack of
the fever impossible, and she is sue
eeeding, but her efforts are somewhat
weakened by her financial condition.
The city Is practically in the hands of
a receiver, and has not much money to
spend even to keep off the fever. but
all that can be spared is used for that.

Now I do not believe that men will

Grafton has to fight over again the
same old battle between impulse and
reason, between that which tends to
barbarism and that which tends to
civilization.
THE Northern Radicals are senti-
mentalists. They ascribe to the negro
the same sensibilities as the white
man possesses. Recollect, my friend,
that the negro's ancestors were not
reasoning Anglo Saxons, but slaves
sunk in the awful horrors Of African
slavery. Every African chief is a
despot, absolutely and autocratic.
Slavery in America, even as it existed
in the cotton States, was elysium com
pared with the terrible slavery of the
blacks in their native Africa. You
remember that chief to whom the
traveller presented the rifle, which the
chief Immediately used upon his ser
wants and wives, shooting down these
living targets with hellish diabolism,
Think of the human sacrifices on the
death of a chief, From this hell the
poor black was brought to our shores,
where self-interest compelled decent
usagcs. and where cruelty was the ok
c%eption and not the rule. With all
his benighted ancestry behind him, the
black is handicapped in the race of
life. He can never catch up with the
white man. | should despair of the
negro if he we're never to improve

II think, continued the Kentuck-
ian, that the North has yet to take
to itself the New Testament parable
and first pluck from its eye the beam
before trying to remove the mote from
the V of the South. You have your
wronged and oppressed labOring men,
YOU have horrible special vices almost
unknown here. Only the other day a
man slaughtered his little child amid

The FIRST Love.

1t is an old saying, "Whom first we
love we never wed" and this, though
not strictly true, may be applied to
Scott, Byron, George Washington,
aud many other men of note. 1t is
interesting 10 observe how poets gem
orally present their love mattors to
the public. The personal experience
Of such men will crop out. Scott,
for instance. fell deeply in love in
early life with a girl of aristocratic
family. and, as he was chen merely q
poor barrister there was no prospect
Of success. His father, knowing this
aud being DESTROYS to bring the matter
TO a close, suggested to the parents the
propriety OF terminating the acquain-
lance, and this was done in the leas.
