BELLEVUE, NEB., Oct. 1.-One
OF the boldest undertakings in the
history Of Nebraska was inaugurated
here yesterday. For some time the
Missouri river at this point has
threatened maly fine farms on the
Iowa side. 1t became apparent that
if the main channel was not diverted
thousands of dollars of damage
would Immediately result. Dur
ing the night a large
gang of men crossed over
from Iowa and commenced
digging dam across sixteen feet
in width and quarter of mile
long, to divert the channel to Me-
braska. The gang was well armed
and determined to complete the
work before Nebraska people could
object. The current was at once
turned into the canal. Great dam
age will result to Nebraska even
greater than was threatened In
Iowa. Work was commenced at a
lonely point and was discovered by
accident. A movement is on foot
to resist the scheme, and trouble
may follow.

Miners Grave.
Arkansaw Traveller.
The remote corners Of the earth are not

Years rolled by and luck came Harry's
way. He wrote a cheerful letter to his
wife. and ended with, Dolly, come and see
our gold"
But there was little girl to care for. and
she was sick, and Dolly could not come. So
she sent her love and promised to come as
soon as possible. After that young Blakes-
lee walked many miles every Sunday
to watch the Eastern train and to
learn OF the arrivals during the week.
The Eastern train did not look diff
ferent from any other train. 1t might have
looked little more lonely, perhaps-any-
how, sort OF lump came in his throat
when the train arrived, and he saw no
familiar faces. Then he tried to forget all
and cheerfully sought his cot among the
mountains. Maybe there would come
