A recent issue OF the Yankton Press

n In the mountains and valleys
among the tributaries of the Missouri,
than there has been for years and the
Ice In the river is unusually heavy. If
the spring thaw comes suddenly in the
northwest, and the water from the melt
ing snow Is emptied into the Missouri
suddenly, the ice in this part OF the
river will certainly hang on and cause
the water to overflow"
The Press and Dakotan ventures fur
Their: 1.-THE low stage of water in the
river Is another cause for the belief
that there may be an overflow. If the
break up comes early in this section of
country the heavy ice will get through
the narrow places in the channel with
great difficulty and as was the case in
1881 it may gorge in places and an in
undatiOn will follow
The above opinions were read to Oh.
server Purssell, of the weather bureau.
He said he did not take much stock in
that sort Of predictions, for they are
made with no accurate knowledge OF
the actua! conditions existing and are
therefore inaccurate of tn, mselyes.
The possibility Of an overflow lnunda.
ton all depends upon the conditions
existing in the spring, when melting
weather begins, without any reference
to the amount of snow on the ground
at present or the stage of winter in The
Missouri. II such an inundation cam.
it would be caused by one OF two thing.

So far it has been impossible to find
q direct cure for crOtalism or bottom

most Of the treatment must consist IN

Of disease they should be placed where
they will have no access to poisoned
feed. They should be supplied with
pure, n%Ourishing, easily digestible
food.
DR.. Stalker says, Animals placed
on good, green pasture, or supplied
with other nutritive food, free from
the poison, will doubtless make slow
recovery. Two ounces Of EPSON salts,

Lord Bacon was diligent student Of

he was heartily supported by Clement,
the influential metropolitan, so long as
he accepted the wishes Of Russia as
commands. When, however, Ferdinand
began to have more independent ideas,
he was deserted by Clement, who ap-
parently believes that the very best thing
Bulgaria can do is keep under the thumb
Of the czar. ~
Not long ago the national assembly
and Prince Ferdinand dispatched dep
utation which was expected to pave the
way for more friendly feeling on the
part Of Russia. At the head of the
deputation was the Metropolitan Glenn
ent, and the alleged object Of the visit
to Russia was to place on the tomb Of
the late czar beautiful golden cross as
tribute Of esteem from the Bulgarian
people. Clement is naturally very popu-
lar in Russia, and his deputation was
received with open arms, but his visit
only made Russia more firm In it's re-
solve never to accept Prince Ferdinand
as ruler Of Bulgaria.

by seeing that you are supplied with

The man to whom Bulgarians look for
reconciliation with Russia is NJ. Glenn
ent, metropolitan of Tirnova. Pre-
vious to 1875 Bulgaria had been under
the Turkish yoke for five centuries, and
the massacre of Bulgarian Christians by
the troops of the sultan was one of the
causes that led Russia to declare war
against Turkey. Turkey course against
Bulgaria, Montenegro, Roumania and
Servia somewhat resembled her present
course against Armenia. Russia S speedy
victory gained for Servia, Roumania
and Montenegro their absolute independ-
ence, and Bulgaria was also practical
ly lost. By the treaty of Berlin, Bulgaria
was made tributary principally under
the suzerainty of the sultan with q
Christian government, national militia
and the right to make its own laws. 1t
was also provided that a prince of Bull
garia should be elected by the people
and confirmed by the sublime porte
with the consent of the powers.
In 1888 the Bulgarian national assem-
bly, revived the constitution of Tirnova,
and Alexander, the first prince elected
by the people, continued planning for
complete emancipation. This displeased
Russia, and Prince Alexander was kid
naped by Russian agents in 1886 and
forced to abdicate Prince Ferdinand
