RIVER WASTING AWAY FARMS
Eight Acres n Day Fed to the Mis-
souri,

Elk Point, April 2S.-Within a few
days the current of the river west OF
this city has Neered to the south and
has stopped cutting SO rapidly at the
Stockman place. 1t has also stopped
cutting along the north bank west of
Stockman's, and a large sandbar has
formed along the north shore. But
south from Stockman's for a distance
farm lands at a rapid rate. The fine
farms of Norton Smith, Osborn, Ed
wards and Others are being eaten up.
Edwards is moving back his house,
barns and cribs. The largest tree In
South Dakota, an immense cottonwood,
fell into the river on Friday. It is said
by good judges that this tree would
have made forty cords Of stove wood.
1t is estimated that a strip one rod
wide, four miles long, goes into the river
every twenty-four hours. This would
equal eight acres. On the Nebraska
side the river is cutting rapidly. The
current divides at the head Of the
island. Along the farms of Jacob Bar
tolf, old Mr.. Bartolf, Pritchard. Charles
Smith, Mrs. Coats, Ezra Carter and
Mrs. Carter the cutting is worst. Mrs.
Carriers house Is but a few feet from
the shore, and she is preparing to move
1t. The disappearance of the strip OF
timber that skirted the river west OF
this city causes the landscape to look sc
strange that the oldest settlers scarcely
recognize the locality. The general con-
tour of the river will be changed for
several miles. Hundreds of people WIS.,
tied the locality yesterday.

THE GOVERNMENT ToINTERFERE
A Bad State of Morals Mt the Mouth
of Mackenzie River and at
Herscheil Island.

Ottawa, Ont, April 2S.-Inspector
Constantine of the northwest mountain
police at Fort Cudahy, in the Yukon
district, reports to Ottawa as follows:
The territory about the mouth OF the
Mackenzie river n Herschell islands
demands the attention of the govern
ment. Twelve steamers wintered there
last winter. The crews numbered from
1000 TO 1000. These vessels do not leave
winter quarters till July. Each year
the vessels are loaded and dispatched
from San Francisco with supplies for
this fleet, of which a cargo of liquor
forms a large share. This liquor is sold
or traded to the natives for furs, wall
rus, ivory and young girls, who are
used by the officers of the ships for their
own uses. The natives have also learned
how to make liquors from dried fruit,
sugar n molasses. They are very vio-
lent and dangerous when in liquor. Last
winter it was reported n tied up his
daughter by the heels and whipped he,
to death. Whitaker, a missionary, n

belmont, April 2S.-The romantic ex-
perience Of Nicholas VanDerhciden, a
young Hollander who lives in Douglas
county, proves once more that the
course OF true low never runs smooth.
IanDerheiden's troubles began six or
seven years ago in Holland. When he
was a young man he met ana Owe his
present wife, but his parents, who We're
people Of means and somewhat proud,
opposed his marriage to the maiden Of
his choice. She was the daughter Of
poor but enterprising people, and sub
s%equently her father and brother be-
came quite wealthy. They We're dealers
In hides and leather and because OF their
alleged propensity to swindle 1t is said
that on one occasion her father had to
cave home rather suddenly to escape
the minions OF the law for trying to dis
pose of horse hide for channels skin.
The opposition of his parents only
strengthened the love of the young
couple, and after he came to America
four years age and settled on a farm in
Douglas county, he sent for her. She
made the long journey accompanied
by members of her family, who insisted
on being permitted to live with herself
and Nicholas. The couple were mar
lied, and all went well until a short
time ago, hen her father, who seems
by fate to have been selected as the dis
turbins element in their domestic fe-
licity, arrived on the scene. From the
first he never let an opportunity pass
to chide his daughter for leaving Hol-
land and marrying Nicholas. Eventu-
ally there was serious trouble. Nicho-
las, angered by the constant interfer-
ence of his father-in-law, finally
threatened to expose his fathers short
comings in Holland in connection with
the fake channels skin matter II he did
not leave him alone. Up to this time
his wife had remained loyal to him as
against her father, but her pride in her
family was too great to permit Of her
tamely submitting to aspersions being
cast upon her fathers name, and she
rebelled. He then attempted to restore
peace by fighting for it, and as a result
She entered complaint against him and
he is now IN occupant of an American
dungeon.
