BOAT RETURNS ON TRIP DOWN RIVER Bernhard Barge Passes Through Rock Island Bound" for Louisiana Metropolis. The Bernhard barge, which is mak ing the initial trip from New Orleans to St. Paul and return, passed through Rock Island shortly before noon yes terday on the journey down stream. It left St. Paul Thursday. With the current of the river in its favor, the craft is making much better time on the return trip than on the way up. Another barge will be sent over the waterway in the near future by Mr. Bernhard, he claiming that the first Journey was not as successful as might have been, and that valuable information which can be used to ad vantage on the next attempt was gained on the present voyage. When t"ie matter was first proposed the river was high, being 10 or 11 reet over low water mark. It was thought at that time that but little or no trou ble would be experienced by the boat. But in a month the water dropped to three feet, what is claimed to be the biggest fall known in recent years on the stream. This is attributed to the freshet at the time, which swelled the river and the dry spell which fol lowed. Thus with the water lower tiie conditions for an excellent show ing were not as bright as at the time when it was first planned. $10,000 SLANDER SUIT IS BROUGHT Marie Onradt Charges Belgian Saloonkeeper Made Improp er Remarks Tibout Her.
