Nam Street Moves.

The fraiI sisterhood Of Main street is
being broken up rapidly. Some have
already packed up their trapsand moved
to more congenial quarters while others
are preparing to go. A number Of prop
erty unite in the crusade, and
allege that they viii not again rent their
property for such purposes. In this they
manifest good sense, as with the street
cleared of prostitutes, it will become ina
short time an important business point,
adding vastly to the value of their prop
erty. All frail females who refuse to
abide by the order of removal will be
bound over to abide the action of the
grand jury, and they will find plenty Of
trouble ahead.

How did YOU find Maiden. asked
the scribe.
maiden is Very dull at present. There
are very few people there, and although
several OF the merchants have big stocks
Of goods the amount OF trade is limited
indeed. But they expect better things
after awhile. The belief is that there
will be 4 mill put in this fall, in which
event, of course, business will revive and
the camp become lively again. Dexter's
saw mill is as busy as ever, however.

Perry also visited Barker, at which
place he was very favorably impressed
with the outlook. Business is innprov-
ing, and on every hand there are indi-
cations Of the coming boom. Work is
progressing favorably on the Wright Il
Edwards mine, under the management
Of the Clendenin Mining and Smelling
company, and before many days the tun-
mel will reach the shaft, when ore can
be taken out to good advantage and in
abundance. Perry thinks Barker will
be the boss camp Of the territory yet,
and so think we, all Of us.

Stolen Horses.

J. j. Kennedy received the following
letter yesterday from Old Agency in
reference to horses stolen from him:
OH AGENCY, July %.
NJ. John Kennedy:
SIR have seen two Indians with
the horse that you bought from Mr..
Warner. They had two head Of horses
they stole from Benton. II bay horse,
and II oar horse. | have written to
Major Young about the horses and told
him who had them. Please write If you
want me to get them, or If you know
who they belong To. Yours truly,
JAMES G.. GRANT,
The animals referred To belong to Mr..
kennedy, and were stolen within the
past week from the herd 81 Capt. Nelse's.
on the Teton. Mr.. K. is also of the
opinion that the fine animal recently
stolen from Mr.. Robbins, of the upper
Missouri, was taken by the pesky red
skins. He thinks the Indians steal
horses at the north, bring them to Ben
ton and dispose Of them, and then
return with animals stolen from this
section, which, from the numerous
d%epredations recently reported, we would
judge to be the programme. Something
ought to be done to stop this sort Of bust
ness, and done speedily. If Major Lin
coin, of the Blackfoot agency, viii rem
der his assistance he can do much TO put
a quietus Oh horse stealing by his inter
esting wards. We would recommend
that the shot gun policy be inaugurated
in this vicinity.

COMMODORE II. C. POWER.
What He Has to Say About the Naviga-
lion Of the Upper River.

From q personal letter received from
r. G. Power, of Helena, Tuesday ct
was delayed two days eli route) we Gull
the following extracts. showing his
opinions on that subject:
Suppose you will see this mornings
Independemt on the upper river naviga-
ton. [ aonot want to be ofncious Oh
find fault with the medium that is do
ing SO much for Fort Benton-the press
but there certainly is some want of
thought or due consideration on the
part Of the Benton papers and people Oh
the subject of upper river navigation. /
hardly expected TO find the RIVER
PRESS antagonizIng q project that is Of
the greatest Importance to Benton.
"It seems to me the navigation of the
upper river is as necessary to Fort Ben
ton as the Missouri river is to Montana
at large-and there 1leyer has been any
doubt III my mind but what an appro-
priation Of half a million dollars could
be secured for the Missouri river above
the mouth Of Milk river by working it
up early in the session. This would
have been a good year If 8 start had
been made in time. Out OF the S21 ,OO0,-
900 appropriated for the Improvement Of
rivers and harbors, the upper Missouri
should in justice have had at least
$1,000, 900.
II am in favor OF IA railroad between
Benton and Helena-tWo Of them: the
Utah & Northern and Northern Pacific;
also the Northern Pacific from Billings
to Benton, and will go farther and want
a connection with the Canadian Pacific
railroad. / also expect the Manitoba
road to come up Milk river to Benton
within three years. | want all the rail-
roads we can get, but [ also want to see
the river above and below the falls util-
iz~d to the fullest extent.
"Why do all these railroads point to-
ward Fort Benton? Because she is sit
uatcd cn a natural water course where
cheap rates Of transportation can be OBJ
tanned from the seaboard. Benton is the
strong point of the territory, and all
railroads must tap the strong points to
be successful.
stPlease understand that 7 am not in
terested directly or indirectly with the
upper river scheme; do not know Mr..
Waters and never met him; but when
he or any other ma wants to do us
good at his own expense, let him go on.
"Yours, etc,
ct. G. POWER"

LAWS OF DIGESTION.

l. Food for the supply of the daily
wants of the system is most rapidly and
thoroughly digested when taken early in
the day, ere the nervous and secretive
forces are exhausted by toll.
2. Rapid digestion in the early part of
the day contributes to the immediate de-
mands of motion and enervation.
3. Food for the repair of the continuous
wear and tear of the tissues is in less i'm.
mediate request the completeness of its
solution is of more Importance than the
rapidity, and it is best taken toward the
evening, when an opportunity is offered
for its leisurely absorption during sleep.
4. The duration of digestion bears pro-
portion to the quantity of food eaten.
>. In youth the digestion is quicker, and
the stomach sooner emptied than in grown
up persons.
6. Rest before meals makes digestion
more complete. Exertion Immediately be-
fore meals retards digestion, and exertion
Immediately afterward deranges it.
!. Sleep retards digestion, but makes it
more complete.
S. Alcohol retards digestion, and renders
it also incomplete.
8. Earnest preoccupation of mind re-
tards digestion, and may even quite an.
null it.
10. Water weakens digestion and en-.
courages the absorption of fatty and sac
charine matter; but its effect on the CON-
plete solution OF albumen is doubtful.

Health is undoubtedly more precious gift
than riches, honor or power. Who would
exchange it for these, the chief objects of hu-
man ambition? 1t is obviously the part of
wisdom to employ means for the preservation
of health and the prolongation of life which
time and experience have proved to be relia-
BILE. Many of the dangers by which health is
threatened may be nullifed by the use of that
most irresistible of correctives and tonics,
Hostetter's Stomach Bitterss. which by in
creasing vital power and rendering the physi.
cal functions regular and active, keeps the
system in good working order and protects it
against disease. For constipation, dyspepsia,
liver complaint, nervousness, kidney and
rheumatic ailments, it is invaluable, and it
affords sure defense against malarial fevers,
besides removing every trace of such disease
from the system. Half wineglassful taken
before meals improves the appetite and in
sures complete digestion and assimilation.

DAMP HoUsES.-Persons who are unfor-
tunate enough to live in damp houses. par
ticularly near undrained land, are apt to
think that there is no help for them save in
removal. Land says they are mistaken,
and states that experiments have shown
that it is possible to materially improve
the atmosphere in such neighborhoods in a
very simple manner-by the planting of
the laurel and the sunf1ower. The laurel
gives off an abundance of ozone, whilst the
soulful-eyed" sunfower is potent in de-
stroying the malarial condition. These
two, if planted on the most restricted scale
in a garden, close to the house, will be
found to speedily increase the dryness and
salubrity of the atmosphere, and rheu.

memory of the past, will be largely allevi.

GROWTH OF METHoDIsM.-One of the
most astounding things in the religious
world is the extraordinary growth of the
Methodist Episcopal Church since the
opening of the present year. The Meth
odist has been keeping careful account
of the conversions reported by all the
churches which consent to send their re-
ports. Thus far ]. 1894 of the churches have
reported that SO, 652 persons have been con.
verted since the lst Of January. This is the
more wonderful in view of the fact that
there are 1858 Methodist churches, and
that the total number of additions to them
during 1881 was only 25, If CONVEX
sions and additions go on for the rest of
this year as they have begun, the increase
will be the most phenomenal OF record.
The Presbyterian Church, with its 5,59S
churches, gained last year 5,344 new
members, or only about five.eighths as
many as 1924 Methodist churches have
gained since New Years.
