BODY FOUND FLOATING.
Black River Gives Up Victim Near Poplar Bluff, Who Went There
 From Arkansas Lumber Camp.

The body of Joseph Ringwald was found floating in Black river yester- day afternoon. The body was badly decomposed and had evidently been in the water for ten or twelve days. It was discovered by one of the crew of the steamer Alma Jane, which was tied up just back of the Riverside Ho- tel. The police were notified and also the coroner, who called a jury and rendered a verdict of accidental drowning.
 MT. Ringwald has been around Pop lar Bluff for nearly month past, but no one thought anything of his non appearance of the last few weeks. He first came into the notice of the police by suddenly toppling over on the street one day, and he was taken and locked up, for it was thought he was drunk; but when he was brought into the police court he had another spell and was turned loose.
 Ringwald came here from Arkansas, where he was working in lumber camp. He was sick great deal and constantly brooded over the fact that heart disease would cause his end.
 He may have committed suicide, or may have fallen into the water--no one will ever know. The body was a terrible sight when found. Citizen.

SOME of the papers in the east
ern part of the state have said
that. much of the land sales in
Stark county were speculative,
but nothing could be farther from
the truth. The stockmen who
have been here for some time have
been buying additional acres that
they may be able to Craze their
herds. The reader must bear in
mind that heretofore the stock
men have not, as a rule, owned
mucho of any land, but have: ;grazed
the government and railroad
lands without interference e from
any source. The outside parties
who have been buying a few sec

COLUMN upon column has been

correct. The reservation was
leased to Lake, Tomb & Co., l.

paid was three and one-twentieth
cents per acre. The Sioux In,

they claim that the southern
boundary of their reservation is
not correctly established and
should be moved fifteen miles
further south, cutting off that

are right it will give the leasces of
the northern reservation the strip
fifteen miles wide in addition to

In the recent interstate

In the recent interstate COM
merce report it is stated that the
railroads violate many laws, like
giving rebates to some. shippers
and denying them to others. The
commission claims, however, that
it is not clothed with the power
for regulating these things. Prob
ably no class of people have had
quite as much experience in the
rebating business as our live stock
men. Some years ago none but
the big shippers were able to get
these rebates but eventually it
leaked out that a certain few were
getting the "long green" in con-
sideration of influencing ship
ments, and of late years the small
shippers have been on hand to
get their just proportion of the
cut.

of the Northern Pacific. showing
the driving of the golden spike
by Henry Willard. in 1883, is to be
placed in the capitol building at

appear in the picture. Many o;
tile Stark county settlers will re-
member the golden spike exped,

forced from the presidency of the
Northern Pacific railroad soon
after this midsummer expedition.
The excursionists were
largely New Workers., ten or

the prairie grass was turning. and
the eastern money loanerst thought
the country uninhabitable, the
realistic American desert as it had
been termed by the early explor-
ers, and they commenced to wire
back to New York for their agents
to close out their N. P. stock at
what it would bring. This caused
a panic and the stock of the road
was quoted at 10 and IL cents per
share and no takers. But speak
ing of the golden spike expedition
recalls the driving of the silver
spike at Sentinel Butte, this state,
in November, 1880, which united

New Methods Maize the Business Safe
sad Profitable.
The first herd of range cattle turned
loose in this country makes a bit of in.
teresting history. Messrs. Hughes &
Simpson, of Texas. trailed the first herd
of cattle into Western North Dakota
late in the fall of 1881. They were own
ers of the Hash Knife outfit. and turned
their herd loose rs to 90 miles southwest
of Dickinson. The outfit did not have
the slightest preparation for feeding and
sheltering stock and as 4 result of the
hard winter of 1882 many of the cattle
drifted into unsheltered places and per-
ished. Buffalo hunters were also abroad
in those days and many of the Texas cat
tie we're slaughtered and brought to
Dickinson and sold as elk or buffalo meat
at SC per pound. But these wealthy Texas
people we're not to be discouraged by the
loss of a few thousand cattle, and the
following season they trailed many herds
in from the south. They continued to
bring in southern cattle until upwards Of
100000 of the Hash Knife brand were
roaming at large in the country and then
came the disastrous winter of 1867
when it was estimated that SO per cent
of their stock persisted. This was a
tremendous loss. but the Hash Knife peo-
pie were not discouraged and continued
their northern ranch business until FIVE
or six years ago. They claimed that if
they lost all their cattle once in five years
that they could still make money in the
business. But local cattlemen have
learned that there is no need of having
any loss in stock, other than from natural
causes, and the business is now handled
with perfect safety. All that is required
is shelter and a little hay, sayon ton per
head, SO that a few fodderings can be
given in case of stormy weather.
In the place of a few large herds OF
cattle we now find many small ones, Of

The submarine boat recently built for

ocean in two and one-half days. The
secret of its extraordinary speed lies IN

properties of certain roots and herbs. 1t
is a family medicine and can be relied
