FASHION NOTES.
Suit Yourself, Says Fashion.

A great secret of being we'll dressed is
being dressed according to your style.
Time was when everyone to be In the
mode had to dress along certain lines,
whether those suited her especially or
not, but now it is not so. A woman
may dress as best suits herself, general
current rules being observed, of course,
and if she understands at the start
what is becoming, the result Is good,
even though it places her in different
style of femininity from her neighbor.
Just now the women that take kindly
to perky frills and fluffy daintiness are
favored, but the romantic maid may at
feet the princess gown, the empire and
the fichu and Marie Antoinette fash

Philadelphia Board of Surveyors,

the nomenclature of that citys streets
from the puzzling confusion into which
it had fallen to a system which will
make comparatively easy the hitherto
difficult task of finding any desired
house or shop. In accordance with the
boards report 1850 changes of name
have gone into effect, and for the mo-
ment there is vast amount of dissatfs-

who are suddenly obliged to learn and
remember new street names and num-

names have been swept away by the
reform, and because the surveyors have

The Civic Federation of Chicago
wishes to introduce in the public
schools the study of the theory and
practice of politics. A committee hav-
ing the subject in charge is studying
the French system with the idea of
making it the basis of the proposed
course in civics, but the hardest prob
lemseems to be in arranging the method
for imparting instruction in the practi-
cal side OF American politics. So far
as row planned the movement contem-
plates the addition OF complete course
of civics, with the object Of drilling
pupils in the theory of politics and
good citizenship, while the practical
part will be impaired by voluntary
participation in auxiliary societies The
Woman's club of Englewood and SINH
lar organizations are studying the sub
ject with view to being able to assist
the Civic Federations committee with
practical suggestions.

The Overland telegraph line, which
connects England with her great Indian
Empire, passes through Persia, and has
recently been subjected to an interrupt
ton of quite serious character, due
to the fanaticism of the populace 1t
seems that there has been terrible
drouth, which the subjects of the Shah,
instead of attributing to Providence,
ascribed on the contrary to the tele-
graph poles, and, above all, to the posts
and signs of the survey department of
the company. Accordingly all the OBJ
aloxious poles. wires and survey signs
were destroyed by priest-led mob.
Strangely enough, heavy rain fell i'm
mediately afterward. and now, in spite
of the severe punishment inflicted by
the Teheran government upon the ring
leaders, the masses Of the population
throughout Persia are firmly convinced
that telegraph and survey posts are
productive of drouth sand inventions Of
the devil.

SOME RIVER HISTORY.
Dates Of the Spring Opening Of the Mis-.
souri River for Twenty-Five Years Ago.

Dates Of the Spring Opening Of the Mis-.
souri River for Twenty-Five Years Ago.
In the course of q years. according
to the records OF the weather depart
ment and local observers hereabouts,
who have been interested enough in
the matter to keep a record, the Mis-
souri, river has broken up its icy cover
ing ten times previous to the 18th OF
March and the balance after that date.
One year it was as late as April 5-that
was in 1876. In 20, ~, rs, rs, ~, 81,
's2, "a, 's5, 's6, 's7, 'sS. 80, 81, 's3, '94,
's5, '96 the river has broken up later
than the Is Of March.
From this record it Is natural to
infer that no alarm need be felt over
the lateness, as some view it, OF the
breaking up Of tho river, for we still
have two weeks left and yet not exceed
the latest date on record.
At the time of the great overflow in
1881 the river broke up on the 9th OF
March and high water was reached on
the fifth of April, according to the files
OF THE COURIER. No danger would
have then been experienced had 1t not
been for an immense ice gorge form
ing, so it need not be anticipated that
similar circumstance could occur
here any more than lightning could
strike in the same place twice. Still
as an ounce of prevention 10 worth a
pound of cure it would be we'll for
those who hold extremely dangerous
positions in case Of an accident, like q
gorge, to provide for such an en,erg-
ency. Geo. Geisler dropped into THE
COURIER Office last week and stated
that the river down In the Bland
section had q better opportunity to
flow into the Slough" than 1t ever had
before. Heretofore there had been q
high bank protecting the low ground
from an overflow, but this, last spring,
vas washed away and he declares 1t
makes no difference whether we have
high water or not, there 10 an excellent
opportunity for the water TO get into
this old unused channel.
There Is one thing certain, unless
the river breaks up at Bismarck be-
fore it does here, no danger need be
apprehended. for that was the cause OF
all the trouble In 1881. Those who
lived here then will remember that
kilograms were received from Bismarck
stating that the river had broken
loose and 1t was several days after that
before 1t broke up here. II the cham
mel Of the river works itself loose be-
tween hero and Omaha before any-
thing happens above, practically, you
can count On + - : certainty that w
will have no trouble.
The following records 81 the dates 81
Union County courier. [volume] (Elk Point, Union County, D.T. [S.D.]) 187?-1913, 1897-03-18

the breaking up Of the ice in the Mis-
souri, in the spring of each year since
1875 Is compiled from the records In
the Office of the Yankton weather
station and the files of the press and
Dakotan. With one or two exceptions
the dates are correct. During two
periods when the signal station was
closed for short time and during an.
other period when river records were
not kept by the local observer, the
press and Dakotan files are relied upon.
The record is comparatively reliable
however.
The date OF the earliest opening was
February IS, in 1878. The latest OPEN
ing was April 5, 1876 in which year the
river closed Nov. Is, making nearly
five months of closed stream. In
eighteen out Of twenty-five years the
river opened in March, in three years
in February and in one year in April.
In 1881, the year Of the great food, the
ice in the river broke at about O'clock
in the afternoon Of Sunday, March q.
The ice cracked with noise like the
report Of cannon and nearly every
body in the city went to the river
bank to witness the exciting scenes.
Late in the do the steamer Western
was struck by heavy cake OF ice and
sunk. But this is not flood story.
The dates for the river opening since
