The Mississippi River.

Somebody has gathered tho following
facts concerning tho Mississippi river,
which our readers may find interesting.
An old spelling Of the Indian namo is
"Michi Sepe." tho "Great Father Of the
Waters" The true Mississippi begins at
tho junction Of the Missouri and Upper
Mississippi, few miles above st. Louis.
There are five main tributaries: tho Up
per Mississippi, the Missouri, tho Ohio,
tho Red. tho Arkansas, the White. and
the st. Francis. From the mouth of the
Missouri to the Gulf is 1886 miles; from
the head Of tho Upper Mississippi, 2s1G;
from tho hoad Of tho Missouri, 4194; from
tho head of tho Ohio, 2551. The alluvial
plain extends from the Delta to twenty
miles above Cairo on the Ohio, and to
Cape Girardeau. Mo-. whore are tho first
rocky bluffs. The Upper Mississippi is
clear; the Missouri, muddy whitei the
Ohio, groenish; the Arkansas and Red,
red ocreous. The amount Of soil yearly
carried into the Gulf by the river would
cover square milo to tho depth Of PAL
feet. For 1000 miles from New Orleans
the average width of the river is 5000
feet. To enjoy the beautiful scenery OF
the Upper Mississippi, buy your ticket to
Chicago or St. Louis over the Burlington,
which runs for 800 miles along the east
bank. Your home agent can supply your
wants; il not, write to w. j. G. Kenyon
Gen. Pass. Agent, st. Paul, Minu.

:. Through the kindness Of Conductor

- As. .aoted in former notes tho Hope
delegation to .tbs r.. o. o. F. Grand
Lodge.. arrived in Cassslton just after
% o'clock. Here we wearily waited un-
til after II e'clock. for . delayed train
on tho N. P. Ry. 1t came at last, long,
numbering freight with two passenger
cars ut tho rear. We boarded tho tail
car and congratulated ourselves that we
would take dinner in Valley City. We
had not counted on possibilities. Be.
tween up.grades and heavy train we
wsro doomed to Eve hours, ordeal, OK
pace journey, and that as a frst-class
passage.
We Hope people. sometimes grumble
at the slow service We got by Jim Hill,
but atter to day 70 think we are in it
yet. We can say ut least that the N P.
has good road bed and We passed over
tito Valley City. but We have no desire
to So that way again. Ed.

A Woman's Opinion,

On tho amateur theatricals givon in
your city on tho evening Of Decoration
Day is that it was excellent. Tho Mid
night Charge, is quite good ons; but
still We could not quite determine whore
the charge came in, unless it was the
Pumpkin Blossom Club, who from the
encores,-we wore sure-were primo
favorites. Mr. Harness as drill master
has no peer, and his part was superb.
exciting the risibles Of tho large audi
once, every time he made an appearance.
The roll of Dick Ryon. with it's jealous
emotions etc., was certainly tho most
difficult part to perform and the young
man did it we'll. Tho ladies parts wsro
all good and the becoming attire of
Sister Alice really artistic. This part
was mueh enchanced by the full. clear,
strong enunciation Of tho young lady.
The handsome young Capt. Danvers
was faultless in attitudes. gesticulation
etc.
The Irish Pat was perfect in his way,
Is shown by tho applause rendered him.
Genoral's Geary and Jones in make up.
manner and all wero excellent. Tho
difficult part of little Charlie was most
I'D mirably done. His enthusiasm etc..
was acted as tho he really enjoyed aud
appreciated what he was doing.
And last but not loast was tho OK
quisite manipulation Of that violin.
Words fail to tell of its charm. Suffice,
it to say; it carried one back to tho old
Philharmonic and tho Grand Opera
House in Berlin. ono Of tho musical
centers Of the world. We can only hope
tho Fates may give US roturn Of this
pleasure. The lady accompanyist was
perfect and added much to the music
From actual experience We are aware.
some ono individual generally has to
shoulder the burden in casos like this
and usually takes a back seat, now
justice is, Honor to those. to whom
honor is due" and We extend our thanks
for ono Of the most enjoyable evenings
