YEARS RIVER WORK
$4,000 Expended, in improvements
- :. Near Island Forty nine.

I'd WINONA, MINN.-Captain J. D.
DuShane of st. Paul, in charge Of river
Improvement work on the upper Missis-
sippi, says that his entire fleet Of forty
two pieces, is in the winter quarters at
Fountain City bay. Some $50, 900 was
expended this year, he says, all in the
ne1ghborhood Of Island Forty nine at
Minnesota. The work done consisted in
changing the course sof the channel. The
course formerly had been from The head
Of the island to the, left bank Of the
river and then across to the right bank.
Now the channel had been changed to
keep it directly down the middle of the
stream. .5,t@
j How much river improvement work
would be done on the river next year,
Captain DuShane said would depend on
the amount Of appropriation made by
congress at the short session. Accord
ing to previous appropriation there
would be 100000 available for the
Mississippi river next year. but this
amount might be increased.
= The harbor Of refuge constructed on
Lake Pepin, Captain DuShane said,
is giving excellent satisfaction. In
fact the channel Of the river was in
pretty good condition last summer all
the way from Winona to st. Paul, and
even in the low water in August the
boats were able to-; get along without
much difficulty. Z

is one Of the most spectacular In the criminal
annals Of South Dakota.

Of Charles lie May. whose body was discovered

with shotgun and his pockets rifed. 1t was
shown at the trial that Hall had been seen
with him short time before his dead body was
found. lie May had money and robbery was
doubtless the motive for the crime.

properly laid. the prosecution having inadver

Minot, N. D., Nov. 26.-Electipn is over, but
the political fight in Ward county and the eighth
Judicial district is still troubling. In the ju-
dicial contest, E. B. Goss, the republican candi-
date, lost his home county and McHenry, but
won the ermine by small vote in Williams
county and by 1881 in Ward county. In Bot
tineau county the result Is to be attributed to an
anti Hansbrough feeling, and the same is true
in McHenry county. In Ward the county con-
test overshadowed all others interests except
possibly, the judicial fight, and that was decided
the merits Of the county contest, Murphytsm
being the issue.
The completeness Of, the downfall of Murphy
is not the most interesting phase of the results.
It was evident all thru the contest that Senator
Hansbrough is not overpopular in Ward county.
1t was not love Of Hansbrough- that won the
fight for the reorganized republicans, but dis
gust with Murphyism.
The present leaders of the republican party
in Ward county are known to be strong Hans
brough men, and closely aligned to the state
political machine Of which Alex Mckenzie is the
head. The fact that Mayor Roach, chairman OF
the republican county central committee, is gen
orally known to be closely connected with the
Great Northern railroad, Is, not pleasant to the
rank and file Of the republicans of the county,
and it was one Of the .handicaps OF the cav
paign Of the reorganizers, whose overwhelming
victory was due more to the stupendous blunders
of the opposition rather than to any inherent
