The water was exceedingly rough on
Wednesday night when the launch and
skiff which belonged to Nauvoo
citizen set out with it's sixteen pas
sengers for Montrose to catch the
early down train for this city. The
waves washed into the boat and filled
it rapidly. About foot of water was
in the boat when the party We're
almost to the Iowa side of the river
and the sixteen passengers, thirteen
of whom We're girls ranging in age
from twelve to sixteen or seventeen,
were badly frightened as were the
older members of the party.
When the launch neared the Mon
trose side, all power was put on and
the boat ran hard ashore with the
launch. This was done to keep it from,
sinking.
The Sisters of the academy were
taking the girls to this city to see
them safely on their way home to
spend Thanksgiving at this place and
other nearby points. Those who are
in a position to know say that the
party had narrow escape from
drowning in the boat Wednesday night
on the river.

The above epigrams shows the wis

When mans stomach is able to
furnish new material to the system
as fast or faster than the natural de-
cay of man requires, then such man
lives his fullest and his best.
When through wrong living or dis
case mans stomach begins to tax
the other organs and takes from the
blood strength which it cannot give
back in nourshment taken from food
then begins the death of man and he
decays fast. The stomach is strong,
splendidly strong, and can stand an
untold amount of abuse and neglect,
but when 1t dies, man dies
The stomach gives tons upon tons
of good rich blood every year to tho
system and draws only $50 lbs. OF
nourishment for its own use. If, how
ever, the food which it receives cln-
not be turned into blood which is cap
able of use ly the body, then 10

Mrs. Hatton's Hog,

Hatton recently purchased a hog,
which. like Mrs. Murphy's COW, has
caused no end of trouble to its owner.
This particular hog was raised by Ezra
Kelles. but Mrs. Hatton does not &C
cuse Ezra with educating the hog or
even intimating that early associations
have anything to do with the perverse-
ness of the hogs character, but it is
certainly the meanest, contrariest hog
that was ever intended for sausage.
1t has deserted its owner on three Diff
ferent occasions, the last time being
unsuccessfully pursued by most OF
