OR Tor tho Hills.

Well, on Monday the Black Hills Ex-
press, mentioned Saturday, left for tho
Hills. The weather is splendid and
has been for month past. The ground
is bare and the streams solid, and if
the present mild weather continues the
boys will have no diff f:ulty in reaching
the gold fields by Saturday night and
will bs back inside of Is dsys.
Ben. Ash and Dodge are mentioned
elsewhere. They are good ones. Co.
Wilson and W. B. Shaw fitted out Ed
Donahue who accompanied w. H.
Simpson, and r. R. Marsh, of the Cap
,tol Hotel, who went at tho same time.
They are all live men and true and their
report will % much good. 1t will sat
isfy many who could not be reached by
other evidence. Late in the day Col.
Wilson fitted out a son of Ex-Mayor
Hackett, "Little 3D." as he is called,
and he jumped in with Jimmy from
Cork" who had also determined to 20,
and the party Of seven, and three teams,
went on their way rejoicing.
Chris ellison and an associate left for
the Hills on Saturday, and severel others
of our citizens will join parties on the
way to the His via Bismarck, from
Fargo, Moorhead, Breckinridge, Anoka,
and Manitoba. %as
The military do not SEEM inclined to
interfere. Gen. Sheridan in his report,
expresses the idea that it is not only an
unpleasant task to head off the miners,
as they did last summer, but useless
one, and because OF the treachery at the
council, if for no other reason, inclines
to the idea that they had better let the
boys into the Black Hills and settle
with the Indians afterward. At any
rate the boys are leaving nearly every
day for the Hills, and are not disturbed,
and haye no fears that they will be.
Congress as yet has done othing but
there is so strong pressure from every
quarter that they will be forced to act
at an early day. Better sanction the
occupation at once for it must come to
that sooner or later.
The boys will be back early in
January, when the Bismarck TRIBUNE
will give full account Of theirtrip, to-
gether with correct statepsht of the
number Of people in the Hills, the pros
poets, and much else Of interest,".

TO Montana Mine rs.

ientlemen-AsI am constantly re
ceiving letters from parties in Montana
in relation to the Black Hills, adopt
this method to say to you that | am
satisfied that there are good diggings
there. l have talked with number of
persons who left the Hills last summer
in obedience to the Crooks proclama-
ton, and they all tell me the same
story, and have all gone back. My part
ner James j. Sutherland, went with
them. The Hills are now practically
open and parties are leaving here near
" every dav for them. There isa good
wagon road from Bismarck to the Hills,
and on the route fifteen miles is the
greatest distance between wood s1.d
water, while but little of the way is
through an Indian reservation A mail
and express left here yesterday and
will run regurlarly every month during
the winter increasing service In the
spring as occasion demands. The dis
tance from here to the Hills is 200 hun.
dred miles. The express which left
yesterday Will certainly make the round
trip in from twelve to fifteen days.
When it returns l shall hear from
sutherland and will then write the
Montana papers, if things are favora-
ble.
The best way to get to the Hills from
Montana will be to come down the river
III mackinacs to Bismarck, as the ROAD
from here will certainly be protected, j;
protection is needed. by the military ).

In this age of seepticism, facts are required to
inspire confidence in the minds of the people !;
but. with good indorsers, they are willing to
test any article claiming extraordinary merit.
The proprietors of Halls Vegetable Sicilian
Hair Renewer offer the following Endorsement
of the merits claimed by them for their prepa-
ration, by the Pittsburg, Pa, Christian Adpo-
cate ]; viz: ''The public have so often been de-
ceived by the use of worthless preparations for
the hair, that an article of this kind, to gain
their favor and secure their patronage, must
possess real merit. We are glad to assure our
readers that Halls Vegetable Sicilian Hair Re-
newer is meeting with the success which its
merits so justly deserve; and We have reliable
evidence, that it will perform all that is claim
ed for it, in restoring gray hair to its natural
color, and, as permanent dressing, is unsur-
passed.

Camp Meeting.
Notwithstanding the very inauspicious
weather, We understand there has been
quite & respectable gathering during the
past week at the Camp near Beantown
Station. On Sunday last the special trains
on the B. & P. r. II. did quite large
business in the transportation of passen-

we have had is even too much for piety.

Bryantown Festival.
The two days festival at this ancient
but most hospitable village, we are happy
to learn, was quite success in every way.
We regret very much that it was out of

were enlivened by the brass band from
the Reformatory Institution. This band
is composed of some 90 colored boys-in-
mates of the institution, and their perfor-

A Good Yield OF Wool.
We find in the american FarRaer for
August the following letter from DR.. T. c.
Price, which shows well for our county:
81 notice in the June number of the good
old American Fdrmer that 'tten yearlings'' in a
flock Of sheep yielded ll2I lbs of wool, but
one of which, however, having lamb. Since
you join the writer in an invitation to others
for their experience, will give you few facts
in regard TO my neighbor's fock-much better
than my own. Mr.. W. W. Cobey clipped this
season from his flock of 80 thoroughbred Cots
wolds, 36S pounds of prime wool, an average
of over III pounds for the entire flock; about
half the flock averaging II pounds One eve
last year had three lambs, raised two of them,
one of which sheared this season II pounds.
Showing that twins or even triplets make good
sheep. Mr.. Colby had 80 ewes this season to
bring 46 lambs; quite prolific flock, as well
as fine wool growers. To see such a flock of
sheep when in full fleece, is really worth trip
from either Baltimore city or Montgomery CO.
So gentlemen come and see for yourselves"
Price Reduced.
Messrs. Lorentz & Rittler have reduced
the price of their fertilizers. "The Star"
Wheat and Tobacco Fertilizer is now sold
at $55 per ton, and The Star" Ammonia
ted Bone Phosphate at $3.50. Their ad-
vertisement will appear next week proper
ly corrected. The high character which
the fertilizers manufactured by this firm
sustain is no doubt well deserved, and our
farmers who have not tried them will do
well to test their merits.
