The Ministries.

The Arlington Ministries are en- route to
Benton, and will arrive to-day Thursday
noon, and give two performances on the
evenings Of the 18th and 10Th. The question
arises as to where the entertainments will be
given, as the school house is hardly large
enough to accommodate the crowd who will
attend, and the stage room would be entirely
too small for q minstrel company Of this
character. By the advice Of many citizen
the agent, MIR. DAILY, has secured Fishers
Hall as being the most suitable place for the
occasion. There will be no liquors Of any
kind sold at or inside the place. This hall
is q nice large room and has recently been
fitted up with a good stage and new scenery
and Willhereafter be known as the Benton
Hall. One hundred chairs and other seating
capacity will be added, and nothing but the
most strict order will prevail. Tt will be a long
time before the people Of Benton have an OPP
portunity Of listening to q troupe with the
reputation Of A%rlington's Ministries and all
want to see them under the most favorable
circumstances.

TapIoca SSH on tine TapIs.

We are pleased to report that Tapioca is
improving rapidly, and has been out on the
street several times this week. On Monday
he called at the RIVER PRESS, office and
we were somewhat surprised to see him look
ing so we'll. He has been reduced in flesh
but little, and does not appear the least like a
man who had just run grim Deaths gauntlet,
escaping by the 'sskin Of his teeth" His
right arm is still paralyzed, but he hopes in
a short time to have the full use of it. He
is just as jolly as ever, and jokes about his
injury as if it were q matter of the slightest
concern. We hope to see Tappy himself
again in a few weeks.

Jerry Collins, formerly one OF the editors
of the Courier, last month left for Fort Ben
ton, Montana, with the intention Of making
that place his future home. When he started
for the far West, Mr.. Collins had no definite
employment in view, but he had hardly set
tied down in his new home until the desire
to run a newspaper took possession of him.
A copy Of the RIVER Press, q neat five col
umn quarto, has just been received at this
Office, and on the editorial page is the saluta-
tory of Jerry Collins. Mr.. Collins is a fine
newspaper man and eminently qualified for
the work. The Courier hopes that in his
new field he may be successful, and take
rank among the first journalists of the West.

on the Sabbath its clear tones rang out upon

Catholic congregation, and has only been
placed in position temporarily as yet. It was
manufactured BY Van Duesen 8 Diff, Of

The RIVER PRESS has been moved to
Front street, in the building adjoining ". s.
Wetzel's and directly opposite the new hotel.
Most of our time has been occupied this
week in making the change, which fact &C.
counts for the paper being one day behind
and a little short on reading matter. But
we will be "fxed up" in q few days, and
will make up for the unavoidable shortage
of this week. When we succeed in bringing
order out of chaos we want our friends to
call and see us in our new quarters.
