Mr.. L. V. Bogy, who has been in charge
Of T. c. Power e Bros business at Pop
lar river, arrived in the city last evening
and will remain some days. Mr.. Bogy re-
ports that the Helena was the last steam
boat Of the season at Poplar, and that she
left for Bismarck but a few days ago to
go into winter quarters.
The California, Oregon & Idaho Stage
Co. is the style of the new company oper-
ating the line from Benton to Billings.
They are offering special Inducements ln
the way of reduced through rates to all
points east and south, as Well as TO Eu-
rope. For rates and tickets inquire of L.
q. Power g Bro, general agents, Fort
Benton.
We were Informed to-day by Mr. John
W. Power that the boats of the Benton
Transportation company are now all at
Bismarck and gone into winter quarters.
Three of them are on the ways, where
they will be thoroughly overhanled and
put in readiness for next seasons WORK,
and the others have been sent to Rock Ha-
ven, Just above Bismarck.
We have been requested by a gentleman
from Fort Assinaboine to give for one time
at least in newspaper the proper way
of spelling Cr0quant-dn-Ne 1t has been
some years since we looked into French
lexicon for the express purpose OF settling
this point. If our memory ls not at fault
the above is the correct spelling. Literally
translated it means S'gristle Of the nose. :
It is name which the Indians gave to a
very narrow strip of land which separates
the waters of the Teton and the Missouri
rivers at point some seven or eight miles
below Benton. Indeed SO very narrow
is this hill between the two streams that
there is scarcely sufficient room along its
winding crest to level a wagon road. 1t
is claimed by some that the waters Of the
Teton are already fnding.a partial outlet
under this hill into the Missouri, and that
at some time in the near future the hill
will be cut in twain and the Teton will
become tributary of the Missouri instead
Of flowing into the Marias, as it now does,
few miles below the Croquant-du-Nez.
The word .croquant'' will be found to
have two meanings: "a poor fellow, or q
peasant; gristle'' II our memory is al
fault as the spelling and definition will
some one who hasa French lexicon al
hand kindly correct us.

Anorrible FORM

OF maIariaI disease is dumb agne. Constant
drowsiness, sleep Interrupted by chil, succeed
ed by q consuming heat, and that by an exhaust
ing sweat. sensation as of numbness from
cold. hut no shaking, attends it. Hostetter's
Stomach Btters invariably eradicates it. though
it is the most obstinate form OF miasma-born di-
sease. To conquer it with auinine as lmpossi-
BILE as to battle down Gibraltar with hoWitzer.
Malarial disorders Of every kind are attended
with derangemont of the liver, a fact evinced by
tha saffron tint which the skin assumes in such
diseases. F. this symptom, as well as for its
cause, the Bitters is ! certain remedy. Consti-

the kidneys and bladder are also relieved by this
