Murder on the Increase I'm New York
State Statistics Prove This.

The superintendent of state prisons has
complied statistics showing that the num-
her of executions in the state of New
York has greatly increased since the cleo
trocution law took effect in 1890. Since
that time 10 executions have taken place,
while from the creation of the state until
1880 there We're but go hanSings. This is
an increase of more than 300 per cent
in n year. Per contra. however. since the
discovery of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
there has been an immense decrease in the
number of dyspeptics whose stomachs have
been set right and made TO act like clock
work by that useful remedy. 1t promotes
secretion of the gastric juices. and begets
a wholesome appetite for the food which
il enables the stomach to digest. Maiarial
fever, constipation. liver complaint, kid

River COmmissiOn's Work Proving
Successful-LOses His Toes

His Toes
While Hunting.
During the high stage of the Missouri
river last spring the entire Missouri bot
toms Were flooded. crops destroyed and
other damage done. For a time the river
threatened to cut a new channel from a
point just below Weston and follow along
the east bluffs. This would have left the
two bridges at this point west of the river.
Before this came about the high water
ahated. but the channel had changed to the
Missouri side north of tine fort. At this
point there is a big bend in the river. ami
the change in the channel began cutting
away the farm land in that neighborhood.
Early in the summer the government
river commission began work In this local
ity, making an effort to change the current
of the river. Extensive riprapping was
done at the bend opposite Fort Leaven-
worth. and two piers built into the river.
On the west side large sandbars had
formed in places where the river had run
for years. and fears were entertained that
the change in the channel was a permanent
one. TIL work of the commission. how
ever. has proven successful. and the Mis-
souri, is in a fair way to resume its former
position.
A visit to this point yesterday showed
that the east bank was receiving large ac-
c~retions of soil and sand while the water
was receding and spreading out over the
sandbar. formed last spring. Those who
have watched this point during the past
few weeks say that a perceptible change
is noted every day, and that the river will
be driven back to its former course In a
short time.
