THE RISING RIVER. The Missouri On a June Rise, Boom—The For many days past the Missourl river has been on a rlee. Daring the past few days this rise has been especially noticed. The tlme for the June rise Is near at hand and from present appbarances It Is going tobe a heavy one. Sunday the stage of the river, as determined by ths local slgnal officer, was nine feet and five inches, and yesterday it was over ten inches, a rize something like a foot within the past thirty-six hours. The signal men say, however, that there Is no need for alarm aslong as the river remains below17 or 18 feet, and it is hardly probable that this height will be reached this season. The Unlon Paclfic has had the banks in this neighborhood thoroughly riff-raffed, so that no material washing away of the bank s to be antlcipated. The following table will show the time when the maximum height of the June rise was reached. durlng a period reach- ing back ten years, It will be noted | brought to light a rather romantlc ecan- that the time varles conslderably each | qalotte. year, in one or two instances occurrin in Nily and July instead of June.

Last Saturday night the man of “stone fences and cocktalls” called upon his young lady friend, who ls room- ing In one of the blocks of the clty, with another lady friend, The bartender came rather suddenly upon'the lady of his love, and discovered her In charming tete- a-tete with the rival, the young counter hopper, who was apparently filling her ears with the pleasing tale of his love. The bartender, of course, did not rellsh this state of affairs, and spoke rather testlly to Mise—— A few words with his rival followed, and abuse and recrim- ination flowed freely. It was not long before they came to blows, The bar- tender, who is somsthing of a pugllist, soon had the dry goods clerk on the floor, pummeling him with the force of a ten- ton trip-hammer, to the shrill refrain of the young lady’s screams. Police as- sistance was called in just in time to save the life, If not the good looks, of the younger and weaker rival. The matter was finally compromised and no arrests were made, as the young woman plead tearfu'ly {o be shielded NO POISON IN THE PASTRY A Tale ot True Love With a Moral, Two police officers were called Satur- day night to make an arrest, the disclos— ure of circumstances connected with which 1884—June 22d —————— Beanty, that transitory flower, can only be had by using Pozzoni’s Medicated Complexion Powder, o —— An Unfortunate Maeher, A young dry goods clerk, whose name 1s withheld for certain reasons, appeared in the police court this morning and told a mournful tale of how he was coming along Thirteenth street Sunday after- noon from Hascall's yark, when he was knocked down and robbed of $40. The young gent rather sirangely declined to glve his name, saying that he was em- ployed in a dry goods store on Farnam sireet. The case was at once placed in the bands of Captaln Maurice Sullivan who thoroughly Investigated it, It seems that the young man had met three young ladies on the thoroughfare mentioned, and had insolted one of them. The young lady a few blocks further down met her brother and told him of the oc- curence, pointing out the obnoxlous masher. The enraged brother at once caught up with the gay young man, and with outside aeslstance pummelled him soverely, The rebuke was not graclous. ly recelved, but the lesson wi well learned, and Mr. Dry Goods Olerk will not attempt any more mashes In Bohe- mian town., Officer Pat Mostyn who saw the whole ocourrence confirms the etory, OFf course there will bs no prosecutlon, as Capt Sullivan and Marshal Cumimngs think that the punishment was well merited, C —— Local Crime, Pclice Court Clerk Jerome Pentzel has prepared his report of cases, tried In the police court during MAY, 1885, Shooting with intent to kill.
