the result that work on the Missis-

MAY ACCOMPLISH
WORK UPSTREAM
STILL, IS HOPE
Announcement Made in Wash
ington Would Indicate That
Labor May Start Soon.
OVER THREE MONTHS LEFT
Passage Of River and Hsrbor Bill
Would Mean That Mississippi
improvements Would Progress.

With the announcement made by
Senator Kern, majority leader IN the
upper house at Washington, that the
river and harbors bill would be dis
posed OF before congress adjourned,
hopes Of the river officials in this city
have arisen and it may be that sew
eral months of labor on the stream
will be accomplished still this year.
While the work on the river has
been held down all season and finally
all stopped through the failure Of con-
gress to pass the bill, should the ap-
preparation be made within the course
of the next few weeks there would
still be three months. two at least, de
pending on the arrival of winter. in
which the improvement could be car
ried on.
contract Work Would Start.
As soon as the appropriation is
made the contract work which has
stopped as well as the rest will start
again. The dredges will also
become active and much needed work
can be accomplished in the short pc
Rod of time.
As the improvement OF the river de-
ponds entirely upon the passage of the
river and harbOrs bill it can readily
be seen that with the adoption of the
appropriation it will be hailed with de-
light
Commercial clubs and other munich
pal societies in cities on the upper
Mississippi have registered their
wishes that congress would attend to
the bill and much interest is being
conferred by the people in states Dor
derirg on the river upon the apprO-
priatiOn.
1876 Projects Stopped.
\ dispatch says:
Washington Aug 2O.-AccordinE TO
the army engineers having river and
harbor work in charge. work on 30
projects has either been suspended
already OF viii be suspended By Sep
TENDER 10. because of the failure Of
congress TO make the needed aDpro-
priations.
In a memorandum submitted 70
Chairman Sparkman Of the rivers and
harbors committee of the house, the
chief of engineers. in calling attention
TO congress TO the passing necessity
for appropriations to carry on river
and harbor work. said: Every effort
has been made 10 keep the estimates
down 10 the amounts actually needed
TO permit OF economical prosecution
Of the works adopted By congress and,
by reason Of the regular passages IN
the past four years of rivers and har-
bOrs acts. confidence that this policy
would be continued has been gradually
acquired; and not only the engineers
department, but contractors engaged
in furnishing materials or doing work
under the department have acquired
the same confidence and have made
their plans accordingly. The suspen-
sion Of work results not only in posi-
tive loss Of time and possible inter
ference with navigation, but seriously
handicaps and greatly adds 10 the
cost of future work by the disOrgani-
cation OF working forces, and the effect
which IL has upon the confidence of
contractors supplying materials"

Blood disorders are quickly checked by

rushes into the blood and in three min

1t penetrates to where the blood is made,
1t washes out those spots and places
where stagnation has settled, it cleanses
the membranes, drives irritation from
the joints, fills the blood stream with
antidotal influence and from head TO foot
creates conditions that make for blood
health. There are people in every COM
munity who know this TO be true. They
have used s s. S. for severe forms OF
rheuma tism. for INDECENT liberated spots,
for eruptive skin diseases, for any and
all those bodily conditions caused by
blood loaded with impurities. Being a
pure product of Nature it can not hurt
the stomach and has therefore been the
refuge of a host of people misguided in
their dilemma by first flying 70 those
