It's Mouth Has Moved,

The maps of the country which were
gotten up thirty or thirty five years ago
all show the Missouri river empting intoy
the Mississippi directly opposite Alton,
and they were correct in having it so,
although such is not the case now. The
well-known propensity of the Missouri
river to change its channel on account
of the wearing away of it's banks is as
apparent near the mouth of the stream
as at any other point along its course.
The lower side of the river has been
gradually cutting away and the deposits
filling in at the upper side until the
mouth of the Missouri is now. about
three miles further down the river than
it was thirty years ago.--Keokuk Gats

A TERRIFIC EXPLOSION.

A Nitro-Glycerine Magazine Near Toledo
Blown to Pieces-No One Hurt.
TOLEDO, O., Jan. 1O.-At 1890 Friday
the magazine of the Bradford Nitro
Glycerine Company, located between
Prairie Depot and Bradner, Wood Coun-
ty, about twenty-five miles south of To-
ledo, exploded with report that was
heard over wide area and was mistaken
everywhere for an earthquake shock.
No one was in or near the magazine at
the time, and hence no fatalities took
place. The force of the explosion was
so terrific that the trees over many
acres are torn up by the roots and
the ground is broken for half
mile on every side of the yawn-
ing chasm which now occupies the
site of the magazine. The farm-houses
in the neighboorhood had their win
dows smashed. The shock was plainly
felt at Monroe, Mich, twenty-four
miles north of here, and it must have
been perceptible over a circular area at
least 100 miles in diameter.
