There has been but little cutting of the
banks thus far this spring.
Covington, down opposite Sioux City, is
an acre a day.
The steamer Rosebud returned from
Fort Yates yesterday, and is now taking
on another cargo for that point.
The river is extremely low. The wealth
er at the headwaters of all the tributary
streams has been so cold very little snow
has melted.
A large amount of freight is arriving at
the river warehouse daily, and the landing
presents a lively a%ppearance-a feast for
the eyes of old timers.
The government steamer Josephine re-
turned from up river, and is now engaged
in the work of launching the little steel
snagboat that was wintered at Rock
Haven.
The Abner O'Neal was due from Wash
burn yesterday morning with another load
of wheat, but at a Hate hour last night
had not yet arrived. She probably at
tempted to come overland and is padding
back into the channel.
Sioux City Journal: The matter of re-
establishing the river trade during the
coming season is being thoroughly talked
over by local river men. One has received
a letter from a steamboat captain at Bis
marck, saying that he will run his boat as
far south as this city, with coal barges
from Bismarck for a tow, and will also
take a hand in the Charles Mix county
trade. On the up river trip he expects to
carry merchandise for government sup
plies at Running Water and Chamberlain.
He figures on making a dozen trips during
the season.
Chamberlain Special: River men expect
that business on the big river will be un-
usually good this season. In addition to
tile vast quantities of Indian goods that
must be transported by river to the Indian
agencies along the stream, there will be
much other business that will keep the
steamers busy until late in the fall. The
scheme of barging coal from the fields
above Bismarck to points along the river
will undoubtedly be succdessful, and every
river town from Bismarck to Sioux City
will encourage the promoters of the enter
prise as much as possible. The success of
this enterprise means cheap coal for them,
as we'll as the farmers and others living
adjacent to the river and on the railroads
that touch the Missouri. 1t is expected
that coal can be landed here for from 81 to
IS perton-about one-halt the price paid
for coal that is shipped in from the east.
The Collapse of a Rotten Tenement,
With crumbling foundation and shaky,
bullying walls, is not more certainly to be
looked for than the sudden giving way of
a constitution Slapped by overwork, I'M
remitting anxiety or exposure to hardship
and malign climatic influences. Against
the disastrous effects of each and all of
these, H0stetter's Stomach Bitters is an
effectual safeguard. 1t fortifes the system
against them by infusing into it fresh
vigOr begOtten of renewed and complete
digestion and assimilation of the food, and
its consequent reparative action upon the
exhausted tissues and impoverished circu-
lation. No preparative for the undergoing,
without injury, of an unusual amount Of
bodily or mental work, no means of avert
ing malarial infection, or disorders born of
bad diet and impure water equals this
superlatively fine defensive invigorant.
Take it for dyspepsia, constipation, bill
BUSINESS, rheumatism, kidney troubles, la
grippe.
