The loss Of Nebraska trade, owing
10 the breaking of the ice on the
Missouri, is a question that should
now be taken into consideration by
the people Of Elk Point. Some
means soould be considered where
Ivy the business from that side Of
the river can he secured during the
whole year. The traffic from that
part of Nebraska naturally ard pro-
perly belongs to us and Superinten-
dent jackson, of the c., NJ, and S
p. railroad, comes to us with a prop
osition whereby the business men
nj this city can furnish means of
transportation and secure perna-
| nently the business of those farmers
from over the river, who with their
teams and produce thronged our
streets during the whole winter.
Tie Milwaukee company has, lying
at Sioux City, a good sound huh OF
IA boat which they used for construc-
ton alon. the river shore and for
which they have no further use, and
which Supt. Jackson offers TO do
nate to Elk Point if the people will
tit her out with the necessary engine
aud wheel which is about all required
tn form a good ferry boat, and have
her ply between some p,in. south Of
Elk Point and the opposite side III
the river. This is certainly a ge,ier.
Gus offer ard the bush .ess portion Of
our citizens should take the enter.
prise into consideration and III thin
way stimulate a trade that grew
spontaneously, into magnitude dur
ing the winter season. Something
OF this kind must soon lie done. GU
usually superior markets can mo-
alone draw trade from that side .
the river unless the people are pro
vided with some means by which
they cal, reach the city. We mus
tnake ourselves accessible 10 then
in order TO secure. their trade. Tia
country is fast filing VI, and it
rapid Development will Don maxi
it's trade an oljsrt to be looked astc
and secured. We again sugges
that the people think seriously o
Mr.. Jacks.ny proposition.

council met aud passed an ordinance
protecting the city against the spread
Of any infectious diseases. They
made DR.. Mead health officer and
made the provisions Of the act TO
cover about the following grounds.
1t is the duty Of the attending ply.
stefan to report all cases Of scarlet
fever, diphtheria or smallpox with
in six hours after the nature IF the
disease has been ascertained, and
when such report shall have been
! made the family or neigilborhooa
SO affected shall be quarantined, and
prevented from interminyling with
the public. In case Of the preva-
lence of said diseases in any adjacent
town Or community, it shall he the
duty Of the health officer to protect
the city against such town or com-
munity. The ordinance provides a
civil penalty for the neglect Or vio-
lation Of any Of the conditions Of
the ordinance, consisting of u fine of
from five to twenty-five dollars.
This is the only successful mean
Of preventing the spread Of infect
ious diseases and tie council has
struck the key note for the p~reserva-
ton Of health. The conditions Of
the ordinance are wise and complete
and if enforced properly will no
doubt result in great good. Had
such measures been taken. two
months ago a great deal Of anxiety
aud trouble would have been saved,
and probably several lives. We
hope the ordinance will he strictlp
enforced.

It does seem as if Connecticut was pro- ducing more murderers, in proportion to is population, than any other state- Another bad thing is the fact that few of the murderers are convicted. The latest case came to light on Monday, in that same rough and sparsely region in the north pant of Madison where poor Mary Stannard met her fate In her case, the major part of the public probably have no doubt as to who perpetrated the murder, though bungling trial, and certain other circumstances, did not result in conv1c- tion. In this latest murder the victim, for once is not woman, but charcoal burners man of the name of Johnson. He had lately sold some cattle, and was apparently murdered for his money though he is believed to have only $1l in his pocket. He was murdered on his coal heap, and there was evidence of fierce and deadly struggle-the ground being trampled, the victlms skull crushed, and one leg jammed down through the sods into the fire below. A couple of worthless fellows are suspected, and one, at least, would probably be arrested to-day y.-Hart- ford ISnaes.

 A lady expects company for tea. She or- ders, for instance, biscuits, and they are brought to the table heavy and indigestible. How many housekeepers can testify to morti- fcation, as we'll as disappointment, under such circumstances It may not, however, have occurred to them that it is not always the ''cook's fault" Your biscuits, cakes, pot pies, buildings, etc., etc., cannot be raised with earth or worthless substitutes, and it be- comes your own fault when you permit any Baking Powder to come into your kitchen about which you know absolutely nothing as to it's purity or healthfulness.
 The market is flooded with "low-priced" Baking Powders, gotten up to make an un- just profit by interruptions manufacturers and dealers. and it is worthy the attention of all housekeepers to note there is at least one brand of Baking Powder distinctly sold upon it's merits, and which can be relied upon for uniform strength and purity. The Royal Baking Powder, now know almost the world over as standard article, has stood the test of nearly quarter, of century, and it's friends among the ladies are legion.
