REOPENING OF NAVIGATION Boating on the Missouri River Thirty Three Years Ago. Interest in the successful re-open ing of Missouri river navigation by the steamer, Lora, recalls to many trips to the headwaters of the same stream which were considered nothing un usual in the early days. The steamer De Smet made a suc cessful trip of 2,500 miles In the Mis sourl river in 1873. It left St. Louis In the latter part of May and arrived at Fort Benton. Mont.. July 23. She carried fifty passengers and was hear lly loaded with freight. The boat had stopped to gather wood In those days coal was not used as fuel on the Mis souri river steamers. Only a small supply of wood was carried. When ever fuel was needed the boat was stopped and wood enough gathered from sandbars. Fuel was plentiful all along the route, but coal was al most as valuable as gold. The steamer was owned and com manded by Joseph La Barge. It was named In tbe honor of Father De Smet. an Indian missionary. While at Siouz City, la., on that trip was re celved a telegram from St. Louis which announced tbe death of Father DeSmet. Besides a passenger list of fifty per sons, the steamer carried a crew of twenty-five, which included the deck hands. Joseph LaBarge made a num ber of successful trips with the steam er DeSmet and in 1874 be sold it to the Eaele packet company. The steamer was later destroyed by fire. JoseDh LaBarge carried the first boat load of miners to Montana terrl tor? in 18C2 on the steamer Emclle. At that time Fort Benton was a re shipping post. A detachment of Uni ted State troops was stationed there In those days the steamers were often stopped for hours by herds of buffalo fording the river. In conversation with a pioneer clt izen yesterday he said he remembered well when the DeSmet went up the river on this trip, from tho fact that the boat was tied up here for nearly two da.vs. Several horses were bought from parties In this town and taken on hoard, and there were numerous other articles bought of merchants in Hie way of provisions. The revival of navigation Is all the the talk along tho river, and steam Doaling has been revived with great success between Kansas City and St Louls,and It seems altogether probable i hat a line of steamboats will be placed on tho river between Kansas City and Omaha when the river opens in the spring. Impure blood runsyou down makes v"ti an ray victim fororganic diseases it ..rWk lllood Hitters purifies the M(xvi curph thn cause builds jou up Bif Damages Sustained. What is believed to be the largest verdict in a personal injury damage case ever rendered by a Nebraska Jury and upheld in the supreme court is the award of :vW to John T. Connolly, which he received in the district court of Douglas county against tho Unlou racl lie railroad. In the list of decis ion announced by the supreme court today upon itsadjournment, this Judg ment Is affirmed. The opinion sus taining it is unanimous among Com missioners Albert, Jackson and Duftle. The damages were allowed Connolly for the loss of his legs under the wheels of a train at South Omaha In tbe month of August, 1902. Connolly Is a stockman living In Wyoming and had gone to South Om aha with a shipment of cattle. While walking through the Union Pacific yards at night he was struck by a train backing overa crossing, knocked down ana run over, me company was charged with negligence In not dls playing a light on the rear end of the train, falling to give any other warn ing signal and having no watchman Biaunnca ai me crossing. The case was removed to federal court before trial but afterwards remanded to the district court of Douglas county. Lookout for Fakir. The fakirs and peddlers have hegan doing the country. Good crops al ways bring them. They are selling patent rights, taking orders for en larging pictures, soliciting for hooks and maps, selling cloth for men's wear; cloth that "escaped tho duty at the port" offering tinware or cutlery very cheap, selling soap and throwing in a prize, and unloading worthless stuff generally. It used to be a ped dler was poorly clad, but nowadays t he peddler Is well dressed, prayerful, smooth proportion, male or femalo. He or she Is smart, dressed neatly, and ready to say grace at the table, lead In hlgh-flve. dance the two-step, milk the cows and make the piano sing and talk . To please people while robbing them is the peddler's mission on earth. A Young Mother at 70. "My mother has suddenly been made young at 70.

OLD TIMER IN GiSS COUNTY John Cline One of the Oldest thing Pio neers of this Vicinity. The Nebraska City News, In an arti cle relat I ve to one of the early pioneers of this county, says: "John Cline, one of the earliest settlers of Cass county, was in the city yesterday looking over the town and vblting friends. Mr. Cline Is probably the oldest settler now alive in Cass county, who has remained on his farm and made It his home since be first came to Nebras ka In 1353. Cline was born In Germany and came to America in 18.U, and go ing to Chicago, where he worked for an uncle for a year and hearing bo much of the glorious west and the chances for a young man to become wealthy, he found a man coming west, who wanted a companion and who was coming through with a team. He came with him and between them they drove and walked all of the dis tance. They crossed the Missouri river In a skiff at what was then known as Kenosha Landing, which is above Union. He worked there for some little time, herding cattle and as slstlng others until lie got a start of his own. Ho secured land, the same he owns today, and cultivated it. He raised hogs and brought them to this city and sold them. He says tho tlrst time he caino here t lie only store was a log cabin owned by Mr. Kaufman and was situated Just south of the present II. t M. round house, In the eastern part, of the city. lie could talk but little English and was highly pleased when lie learned that Mr. Kaufman spoke German. He did all of his trad ing with him. He found It dilllcult to get salt for his stock so he went to Lincoln, then only a barren waste and entered a homestead to enable him to get It. he stayed up there some time gathering up the salt and getting a wagon load brought it home, but never went hack. He was married in ISM, and his children arc now living on the old home place while he takes life easy and makes his home In I'nlon. Mr. Cline Is well preserved, despite his 74 years and tells many talcs of hard ships one had to undergo when they first settled In this state." Beef Is Not Chicken One packing house In South Omaha, it ia said, has had to destroy ;io,000 worth of old labels. Chickens can not be pictured on canscontainlng steamed ucei, or innocent caivcs on veal cans filled with old meats boiled tender Tomato catsup will be made out of tomatoes unless so stated, and when one asks for cane sugar he will not get beet sugar.

The packing houses under tbe new law were compelled after the 1st of October to begin making their them pre- out pared meats and putting for what they really are.

Mrs. Minnie Hare Claims to Ha ve Fired the ratal Shot -Mystery Partially Cleared Up-WIII be an Investiga tion. The mystery of the shuotlng of Mr. Frank Coursey, a Rio Orande passen ger brakeman formerly of this city, has been partially cleared up, according to storyln the Grand Junction Dally Sentlnelof September 2. The story follows: Mrs. Minnie Hare, a trained nurse, who has resided In Grand Junction for a number of years, has given her self up to tho police and admitted tiring the shot which caused the death of Coursey. According to Mrs. Hare's story, she was awakened at an early hour Wednesday morning by the sound of someone trying to gain an cntranco to her house. She called out "Who's there?" and upon receiving no reply, opened the door and fired with a revolver Into the alruverthe head of the man standing outside. This, however, had no effect, and as the Intruder still persisted in endeavoring to force an entrance, Mrs. Haro pencil the door and fired, the bullet entering the man's right eye. Mrs. Hare lost no time in notifying tin; authorities, who, upon their arri val discovered Coursey In the yard in a dying condition. Mrs. Haro claims that she did not know Coursey, and made no effort to recognize the man she shot at. Coursey himself was well liked by his fellow employes, whoclaim that lie was perfectly sober when he started or his room In the English rooming houso a few minutes before 4 o'clock In tho morning. When discovered half an hour later ho was fully dressed and there were no evidences of his having taken any liquor in the mean time. Coursey is a married man, about 35 years old, and has been a railroad man for years. He made his home in Og den, where lie has a wife, who, upon learning of the shooting, started Im mediately for Grand Junction. He Is said to have borne an excellent repu tation, and his friends state that they will do all In their power to probe the matter to the bottom, as they thor oughly believe that a full Investiga tion will shed a very different light on the affair to that which now exists. SHALLENBERGER AT MADISON The Fusion Candidate For Gorernor De livers a Telling Speech. A special from Madison, Neb., under date of October 4, says: "Hon. A. C. Shallenberger, fusion nominee for gov ernor, delivered a masterly address at the opera house last night to a large and enthusiastic audience. "Seventy-five percent of tlie. audi tors were republicans. Not a man left the hall In tbe entire hour and a half. Intense interest throughout the en tire speech was manifest by all present. "The fact that the farmers' taies have increased about 100 percent over previous years, while the railroad taxes have not Increased anything like In the same proportion, and that certain railroads have refused to pay their taxes or paid them under protest and are litigating in the counties to pre vent paying them and that the cost of tbe state administration has Increased about 11,000,000 a year since the fusion party had control! Is causing many re publicans to hesitate to longer support their ticket. "Mr. Sballenberjfer made a stfohg appeal for the election of a fusion legislature, a railroad commission If the people would obtain true reform, and the carrying of the railroad com mission amendment. "Many republicans have expressed tbclr intention to vote for Mr. Shal lenberger, while the democratic and populist parties In this section stand united to a man In his support. Much of the old time enthusiasm Is aroused. "Senator Allen occupied a promi nent scat upon the platform, Is en thusiastic for success and expressed his intention of taking the stump and assisting toward the election of the entire fusion ticket." Canning Season Over. There's steam upon the windows and peach skins on tho Moor; the ta ble's burled under trash about a mile or more. There's Juice on the piano and grape seeds In the bed, and pulp and Jelly glasses crowd the pantry overhead. And father's in the garret and mother's In a stew; they're rush ing round from dawn to dark to get the Job put through. Tho cat is choked on scaling wax, there's solder in her fur, and I guess we'ro mighty happy, now that canning time is o'er.
