On the River,

The Lorena, which should have
passed here Tor Pittsburg at 8 g. m.
yesterday, got away from the landing
about p. m. She had an unusually
large trip and bad weather delayed
her coming down the Muskingum.
Today's boats will be the Virginia
FIR Pitt burg at 1 p. m. and Queen
City for Cincinnati at 8 p. m.
The river was again rising last eve
ming with stage of 81 feet at mid
night.
The Pittsburg and Cincinnati Packet
Line steamer Hudson, which has been
laid up about a week at the Marine
Ways, was chartered to the Cincinnati,
Portsmouth, Big Sandy and Pomeroy
Packet Company yesterday, to run be-
tw en- here and Pomeroy, and will
leave from the foot of Broadway at
p. m. today for Pomeroy in place of
the Bonanza. The Bonanze broke
her larboard shaft yesterday and will
be compelled to go to 'Jne bank until
either a new one can be made or the
old one repaired. She will be here this
morning, when it will be decided
whether new snaft will be necessary
not.--Commercial Tribune.
Pittsburg Dec. 6.-There is a very
scant barge stage of water in the Ohio
river today, and it is doubtful If any
shipments Of coal will be made. The
Browns, Juttes, the Pacific Coal Co.,
and other firms have tows ready to
be sent out, out the river is at such a
stage that none of the operators care
to take the risk of sending loaded
barges. The marks at the Davis Is
land Dam show 7.6 feet and river ris-
ing slowly. The river may reach an -
foot stage at that point before the rise
subsidies. A story has been going the
rounds that the Walton Coal Co. was
going to sell some of its floating stock
in order to reduce the surplus. Cap
tain |. N. Bunton, of the firm, states
ber of coal boats, and that it intends
to dispose of two or three of its tow
boats. The company owns five, more
than is needed in the business. The

GOOD YEAR FOR FARrlERs.

Some statistics most significant of
the past years improvement in farm
ing have been compiled by the de-
partment of agriculture. The farmers
of the United States received for their
cereal crops about $3.50, 100000 more
in 1897 than in 1896, and $S0,0O0O0O
more than in any year since 1892
Hay and wool are both higher in price
and only in cotton is there not a sub
stantial increase in the reward of the
planter.
1t is noteworthy that the value OF
the farm horses of the country in
creased during 1897 over $25, 100000,
the milch COWS over $65,O0O,OO and
other cattle over $1O4,O0O,OOO, and
sheep over $S,0O0,000, the total in
crease being estimated at over 1885,
100000.
Statistican Hyde summarizes his
figures by the statement that the farm
ers of the United States received at
least $500,0OO,O00 more in 1897 than
in 1896. Of the total increase of our
export trade of 1913, 100000 for 1897, it
is estimated that two thirds was for
agricultural products.
These figures prove that the pri.
mary source of wealth in this country
is growing rapidly and that the in.
dustry of farming is earning richer re-
wards. They show that the prosperity
OF the farmer means larger and more
scientific development of broad acres
and growing supply of products to
send to foreign markets.-Spokane
Chronicle.

RITZVILLE, APRIL 6, 1898.
THE WAR SITUATION.

The latest war news that is reliable
is to the effect that Spain is doing a
lot of bluffing and thereby gaining
time in the hope that something will
turn up so that she will not have to
back up the bluff. In the meantime
the Spanish army is killing off as
many Cubans as they possibly can
without danger to themselves. Presi-
dent Mckinley is studying hard how
he can best manage to stand in with
Wall Street, Spain and the American
people; that is, he is using his influ-
ence with his secretary to write a
message that will please everybody a
little. At the same time congress is
getting its back up and seems to be
inclined to do something that will
make Spain either shoot OF give up the
gun.
The majority of the people, includ-
ing ourself, know absolutely nothing
about actual war, hence We all talk of
it the majority of the time. The very
latest fad is that the Pope has indi-
Gated that he might be induced to ae-
cept a position as chief arbitrator of
the present unpleasantness between
Uncle Sam and little Spainy.

A Wyoming stock-raiser, dissatisfied
with his surroundings and in haste to
be rich, recently sold his land and
started for the Klondike. A few weeks
later French mineralogist discovered
near the despised ranch a mine OF
cobalt, rare and valuable metal. The
whole district promises to become a
new center of wealth. 1t was upon
land sold to enable the former owner
to start for the gold-mil.es of CALI
fornia, that the great oil-wells of Penn
sylvania were afterwards found; and
both these incidents accentuate the
fact that we are continually within
reach of important discoveries and
great opportunities, missing them by
a hairs breadth of impotence, failure
to observe or lack of preparation.

SUPERIOR COURT PROCEEDINGS

Superior court convened in special
session last Monday. The first case
taken up was that of Bowers VS.. Bowers,
in which the contention was for the
custody Of the only child of the princi-
pals in the controversy. The whole of
Monday was spent in trying the case,
several witnesses being called on both
sides. After listening to all the testi-
mony and the arguments of counsel,
Judge Neal decided that the child
should remain with the mother, and
that the father should visit it at the
times fixed and stated by the court
Once every ten days; and that once
every thirty days he should have pos
session OF the child for a reasonable
time.
The case of H. M. Coss vs.. E. d.
ellison was called up on motion Of
defendant to quash, vacate and set
aside the plaintiffs claim and delivery
and quash the service of the process,
which motion was overruled as to set
ting aside the claim and delivery, but
owing to the fact, that the defendant
had excepted to the sureties of the
plaintiff and the acting sheriff, w. R.
Cunningham, jr., had neglected to ap-
pear and qualify in open court within
ten days, the court ordered him to
execute good and sufficient bond to
the defendant to insure him against
any damage he may suffer.
The case of d. w. Gent VS.. Myers &
Shipman was then called up on
motion of defendants to strike one
paragraph of the plaintiffs complaint,
and require plaintiff to produce all
papers in their possession for their in
spection, which motion was overruled
as to the latter part and confessed by
the plaintiff as to the striking OF the
third paragraph of the complaint.
The case of the National Iron Works
of Spokane VS.. the Town of Ritzville
was called upon an error by defendant
which was sustained.
The certiorari proceedings by d. w.
Zent against G. Staser was then called
up on motion of the relator to compel
the justice to correct and amend his
return to the writ, but on stipulation
of the attorneys the whole matter was
taken up by the court, and after listen
ing to numerous affidavits, and the
argument of the attorneys, the court
took the matter under advisement.

Whatever is done by the president
or congress in reference to peace or
war will be all right if it is done from
principles of American patriotism, but
if done for the purpose of perpetuating
or putting political parties in power,
or any kind of political trickery it will
most likely be all wrong. 1t is to be
hoped that American statesmen can
rise above partisanship at this most
critical period.
