WORK ON THE
MISSOURI
North Dakota Farmers
May Profit BY Act of
Legislature.

If the rivers and harbor ap-
preparation bill as constituted is
enacted into a law, four hundred
thousand dollars will be expended
on the upper Missouri river in a
short time. The work revetting
the river bank at Williston has
just been completed and a con-
tinuation of the snaging operation
in long stretches in the river be-
tween Bismarck and here will no
doubt be made this summer.
Upon inquiry it was found that
the committee on rivers and har-
bors in inserting the provision for
the improvement of the upper
Missouri acted in conformity with
the recommendations of the war
department and Capt. Edward r..
Schulz of the army engineers in
particular. 1t was Captain Schulz
who recently informed the war
department that $25O.OOO could be
expended pro6tably upon the
river above Sioux City, and that
another 100000 would be neces-
sary to maintain improvements
already made, but the committee,
in spirit of liberality, increased
the total by a raise of $4,000,
making grand total of $4,000
for the proposed work.
1t is predicted that the time is
not far off when the North Dakota
farmer will be able to ship his
grain by an all water route to
Europe, and that all that is needed
now is encouragement. Captain
Schulz, on the other hand, makes
the surprising statement in his
report, that although $l1, 1893, 1881
has been spent on the entire river
to date, that past expenditures
have given little or any encourage
ment to through navigation on the
Missouri. 1t is clear from his
report that through navigation is
possible. and that it is only a
matter of the proper persons to
take hold of the water transporta-
tion question in order to make a
success of the venture. Accord
ing to army engineers, S2.28S.897
have been expended on the upper
Missouri.
Commercial statistics for the
upper Missouri show that the to-
tai tonnage for the iscial year just
ended was 45.123 tons. classified
as follows: Grain, 9,643; live stock
lO,l6O: lumber. wood and coal,
ll,732: building material and sand
l1,OlO: general merchandise, 2.579
tons. ..s
An unexpected balance of ap-
proximately 100000 from last
year is still on hand.

THE REPORT WAS EXAGGERATED
But Miss Mueller was the Victim Of
Drug Clerks Mistake at
st. Louis.

Last week we mentioned the report
that Miss Mueller had taken poison
by mistake at ST. Louis. 1t now APP
pears that such was the case but that
Miss Mueller was only temporarily ill
and was fully recovered when the
report was sent out. 1t seems that
on Monday morning Miss Mueller
called at the Marquette Drug store
on her way to her school work to
have a prescription filled which she
was in the habit of getting there. The
clerk was very much taken up trying
to sell a fountain pen and filled her
order hurridly. On arriving at school
Miss Mueller took some of the medi-
cine but at once believed it to be
the wrong thing. Later it was found
that the druggist had filled the bottle
with a solution of carbolic acid. AZ
ter two days spent at the hospital
Miss Mueller is again at her duties
at school.
Denison friends are rejoiced that
the mistake was attended by no great
err consequences.

compensations.

The Review editor has often been
accused of being an impractical sort
OF fellow, so proud of his paper
that he has been willing to make
many sacrifices for it; there is much
truth in all that, we are bound to admit
but we have compensations.
Here is one of them in letter from
Mrs. Lottie Euckson, of 81 Reno:
ut would seem as if my best friend
We're taken from me were to get the
dear old Review no more. l can hard
ly wait each week till it comes. l
read it through eagerly before l lay
it down and pick it up again and read
it once more before lay it aside for
good. 1 then wait anxiously for the
next number have a nice collection
of pictures of familiar faces for which
1 have the kind Review to thank.
Among them are the pictures of the
editors mother and of his little boy.
With kindest wishes l remain as al
ways friend of the Review
Miss Lottie Erickson.
The editor who has not received a
letter like that knows not the joy of
journalism. 1t is one of the compen-
stations of country journalism and is
something the impersonal journalism
of the city men never know.
Our subscribers have been more than
kind to us this year. Hardly a day
has passed without it's added evidence
of appreciation and good will. Last
spring when our contest closed, we
thought we had reached the high
water mark, but there has been hard
ly week since that time when our
list has not shown a net gain. 1t is
such encouragement that bids us keep
the Review constantly up to it's high
standard.

no son working either in a bank or 9

no son working either in a bank or a
clothing store.
When Mrs. Minnie Rodefeld, of
1923 Madison street. read her Herald
last evening she learned of the mes
sage the chief had received in the
morning and OWNED that the deceased
might be her husband, of whom or
from whom she had heard nothing for
between twelve and thirteen years.
One of the sons communicated with
the police station and then. with the
aid of the second message from Kiron,
the identity of the dead man there
was established.
By bit of coincidence the death
of William Rodefeld occurred on the
day on which Mrs. Rodufeld through
Attorney Frank J.. Penick, entered
suit for divorce. The bill filed reciued
that the petitioner married Rudefeld
in December. 1882, and lived with him
until July. 1896, when, without rea-
son or excuse. he deserted her. and
although diligent inquiry had been
made, no trace Of him had never been
found.
Fortunately for her Mrs. Rodefeld
has two good sons. They are Edward
A. Rodefeld. polisher employed at
the Thomas White Stove foundry,
and William H. Rodefeld. a wood
worker employed by the Joseph
Knitted Show Case Co. The boys
have supported the mother and to-
gether have saved enough money to
purchase their home, the purchase
being made about a month ago. 1t
was to avoid any possible complica-
lions that might arise through the re-
turn of the recreant husband that the
suit for divorce was decided upon.
Kiron, where Rodefeld died, is a
hamlet in Crawford county, the en-
tire county having a population of
only q, 1000. Denison is the county
seat. and is fourteen miles south of
Kiron. Crawford is the second coun-
ty north of Pottawattamie county. of
which Council Bluffs is the capital.
Kiron is on the Chicago and North
western railroad. How long Rodefeld
had been there, what he was doing.
and what the cause of his death was
have not been learned here.
With the news of the death of
Rodefeld of course the petition for
divorce will be withdrawn. The fact
that it was filed on the date of the
death of the husband, after so many
years of separation, forms coinci-
dence without parallel in the annals
of the Adams county circuit court.
