The River.

The Missouri broke last week at Poplar
River, in Montana. Ice dams were
formed, the stream overhowed its banks,
and the whole bottom (Which includes
millions of acres of lands) was inundated
for over 100 miles, There was great
loss of cattle.
Poplar River, Mont, March 22.--The
great food on the upper Missouri does
not abate. The water is the highest seen
for many years, and the river Is still rls-
ing rapidly. The ice has broken at Gal.
pin and il running fast. There is big
gorge at Coal Banks, about ten miles
above here, and another at Frenchman's s
Point seven miles below. Hundreds of
cords of wood cut for river steamers arc
floating away. The Indians will lose
large quantities of hay. The red men
have all left the bottoms and are camped
on the hills and other high ground. Their
farms are under four feet of water and
their fences swept away.

Streeter, of the Wllllamsport RECORD,
is dandy on humorous wrlte-ups, and
the account of his recent visit to Bis
marck was very expressive. We only
have one favor to ask of Brother Streetar,
and that IS, that he will refrain from
visiting tho Capital City on the same
date that ye editor or the Breeze

thereof, my countrymen. Steele Ozone,
Such meeting would be all right as to

Bismarck, where we bore an at least fair
to medium reputation and were respected
by the police. We must decline all pub

prohibition counties never let up till they
chew the cork and swallow the bottle.
We say it more in sorrow than in anger
but, really, under the circumstances, we

won't take many years to settle this ques-

The nature Of alcoholic drinks and narcotics

the human system, In connection with the sew
er"l divisions of the subjects of physiology and
hygiene, shall be included in tile branches of
study Taught in the common or public schools,

be studied and taught as thoroughly and in the

States and District Of Columbia, and in all Indian
and colored schools In the territories of the

Section , provides that any teacher or
school officer who shall neglect to OBJ
serve this provision shall be removed

no certificate shall bo granted to
teacher after Jan. l, 1888, who "does not
pass satisfactory examination in physi-

The worst Exassor.,ion Of Am.

The Worst ExaERoration OF All.
The following extract from a letter
written from Lyndale, Dak., in the How
ell Mich Republican, describes condl-
tien of affairs that never existed. The
assertion that there has been over two
hundred lives lost within few miles of
u.s." and the statement of three schools
with their teachers being destroyed, are
pure fiction. The latest figures show that
there were not 200 deaths in tho whole
territory of Dakota. The January storm
was bad enough, truly; but it was ssms-
thing as unprecedented in Dakota as tho
timber fires that roasted hundred Of hu.
man beings In 1871 were in Michigan.
The letter bears evidence of having been
written by a woman thoroughly nervous
and hysterieal. The clipping was sent US
by an Emmons County lady who comes
from the same part of Michigan as the
Lyndale writer, and who is naturally in
dignant at the misstatements regarding
the storm. If the editor of the Livings.
ton County Republican cares to learn and
state the truth, he should write to the
Lyndale lady to give him the facts as she
finds them since recovering from her
fright. But the following is the extract :
