THE RIVER.

Bismarck Tribune, 10th: The greatest
yearly event with which the people of
the upper Missouri valley are called up
on to contend, is now here with all its
glistening glory, and wild wierd grand
eur, and although the glory is not yet
glistening, nor the grandeur abnormally
wild or wierd, these are the proper
terms to use, and without them the
event would be tame and unworthy of
recognition. At IL o'clock yesterday
morning, while Chief Clerk Tuohy, of
the Northern Pacific freight department,
was standing beside the great brown
warehouse, gazing pensively at a horny
handed individual who promised him
his vote before election, u great noise as
of sudden thunder gave the signal of the
spring "break up" and the ice walked
out for the summer vacation. 1t did not
go far. however, before stopping to rest
and manufacture o credltablo gorge,
which the same it did at the bend in the
river near Fort Lincoln. The gorge
thus formed ct that point held its own
during the remainder of the day, and up
to q late hour last evening the river waf
clear for several hundred feet below the
bridge.
Boats began running between Bis
marck and Fort Benton on the 18th.
Bismarck special, 18th: The steamel
Undine sank off Rock Haven landing
this morning and will probably be a to-
tai loss; uninsured. She was owned by
Capt. William Braithwaite, and hai
been run as a ferry between Bismarck
and Mandan, and as q local packet once
a week to up.river points. The loss ii
about $4,000. An effort will be made tt
save the machinery. This cause of thu
accident was the neglect of a Waterman
The Missouri is now clear OF ice iron
it's mouth to Fort Benton,
The Missouri river is higher at thi
point to-day, than it has been at an.
time since the high water of 1881, bu
there is no ice visible and the high waite
is accounted for by the recent spell @
rainy weather. The banks on the Ne
/ braska side are just visible above tb
water. At 4 O'Clock the river IS station
airy.

Oiohe, ~ tHe 1Wcnty-second year of his life.
The subject of the above notice was
one of the most respected citizens of the
community where he resided, and his
sudden departure from this existence is
a sad blow to his many frienda. He was
a native of New York and was in the
west alone and without relatives, except
a cousin near whom he resided. He has
engaged in farming as q
business, and had made
for himself not only a name for honesty
and uprightness but q comfortable
home. and some money. The body was
brought to Yankton yesterday, encased
in a metallic casket andwas shipped this
morning to SpringvilIe, N. Y, by ex-
press. A number of the friends of the
deceased from Nebraska, accompanied
the body to Yankton.

A singular phase OF the discussions
relative to proposed changes in the forms
of worship is presented in a petition from
Minnesota to the Congregational Conven-
ton now in session in Chicago, setting
forth that the present form is now so
meager that numbers Of persons had
gone over to the Episcopal Church to
revel in its more elaborate ritual. The
Scriptural injunction to go into ones
closet to pray doesn't seem to find much
favor with the modern Christian. de
wants a gorgeous church, fine music, q
richly phrased liturgy and an eloquent
preacher. If he will stick to these the
Church had bett T let him have them, SO
far as it is able.

The Boston Journal is authority for
the statement that prominent internal
revenue official, who has had much to do
with the regulations, expresses the opln-
ion that the butter men viii be dlsap-
pointed in the operation of the oleomar-
garine law, and that they will find that
tax will not drive oleomargarine from
the market, but that it will give 1t
character and 4 government trade mark
which will establish it on a permanent
basis, and put it in successful competition
with the pure article, If this should
turn out to be true, the oleomargarine
bill will not have been altogether in vain.
In other words, while it may not benefit
the dairy interests as much as was eX-
pected, il may greatly benefit the coun-
try at large, which ought TO have been
the leading object of CONFESS IN pass
ing it. 1t Is not oleomargarine that the
people generally want ruled out OF the
market, but bad bogus butter. When
they buy butter they want to know that
they get butter, and when they buy
oleomargarIne they want to know that
| they get a wholesome article.

ton was S7,G29,1l9, and of petroleum
$40 193, 200. Inc amount of coal dis
placed by natural gas was ), 15l 600 tors,
valued at 81, 100000.
The amount of domestic iron ore CON
sumed was 1900, 900 long tons. The
value at the mines was $40, 100000. The
total amount of ore consumed was -
900, 7SS tons, which at the furnaces was

The cheap labor of the negro in the
South puts cheap shirt on the back OF
the workingman. The negro sells his
labor on the best terms he can get, and
manages to drive better bargain than
the white laborers who dig iron ore at
the North. But MIR. Blaine proposes to
raise the market price of negro labor in
