Return of the Black Hills Expedition.

Fort Laramie dispatch to the Chicago
Inter- Ocean "The black Hills expe-
dition, under command of Col. Dodge,
arrived here to-day. The Bear Lodge
country, which has been reported SO
rich in gold, has been thoroughly sur
veyed by Prof. Jenney and party. Gold,
in small quantities, was found in mar
row strip of country about twenty miles
east of the Little Missouri Buttes, and
singularly enough there was an utter alb
sence of quartz, porphyry, magnesia,
etc. The country is very rugged and
broken, and pyramidal mounds can be
seen in every direction. Lodge Pole
Butte is perfect mound in geological
formation. 1t is about 1,200 feet above
the level of the surrounding country,
presenting the appearance of a great
tower. This is the section of country
that Col. Bullock and other prominent
men in the West presumed to be so rich
in gold, their presumption being based
upon reports of Indians who brought in
gold from time to time. The country
from the Bear Lodge via the Belle
Fo,1rche to its confluence with the Big
CHEYENNE, including tributaries flowing
from the hills, has been thoroughly
mapped, which makes the entire survey
of the Black Hills complete. None of
the country passed over will compare
with the country in the vicinity of Spring
and Rapid Creeks. Large numbers OF
miners were seen en- route for the Hills,
nc doubt some of those who were on
camped near the post. Prof. Jenney
met some Indians coming, who modest
ly requested his horses and ponies, but
upon being refused offered no violence. "

Business,

Sunday night, when young man
drove out of Vicksburg several miles to
pass the evening with the girl of his
choice, he was met at the gate by her
father, who at once proceeded to bust
ness by saying
"Cum to spark Louisa, eh?"
The young man let silence answer the
question.
expect it'll make match ?" con-
tinued the father.
Silence again, while the young man
tied the horse. As he was ready to go
IL, the father blocked the way, braced
up, and continued
"See here, young man, let's have an
understanding. If ye mean hitch tween
now and Jinuary all right, but if ye
don't, I want you to understand that
candles is might high this fall and crops
don't turn out wuth cuss -
As the young man got through the gate
it is probable that he gave the father a
direct and an agreeable er.-Vicks-

Buried Treasure in the Missouri River.

Mr.. W. L. Scott, of this city, who was
one of the earliest settlers of this section
of country, and perfectly reliable man,
has given us the following for publica-
ton:
In July, 1919, the second steamboat
that ever passed up the Missouri river
struck snag at the head of Hardeman's
Island, between Boonville and Arrow
Rock, and Immediately sank. The boat
was loaded principally with government
stores. It had in the hold large guam
tity of Monongahela whisky and also
$500, 900 in silver coin, which was being
taken to Council Bluffs to pay the gov
ernment troops stationed at that place,
which was then the extreme outpost of
civilization. Mr.. Scott, though a small
boy at the time, lived very near the
scene of the accident, and remembers
well what was related by the officers of
the boat at the time, and also by the
agents of the government who came some
time after, looking after the lost treasure.
When the government agents arrived,
the river had swollen to such an extent
that no vestige of the boat was to be
seen, and they reported to the govern
ment that it was impossible to recover
the money, or any portion of the cargo.
Fifty-six years have passed away, yet
Mr.. Scott says he can now point out the
exact place where the unfortunate steam
er lies buried with its valuable cargo.
He is probably the only man
living who can do so, and he is well ad-
vanced in years. The government can
yet reclaim the money if it will make
the effort; or, if release can be given
by the government, private parties viii
undoubtedly undertake it. - BoonUtLtt

The Lincoln Tower in London.

Yesterday afternoon, between three
and four o'clock, an unusually interest
ing ceremony was performed at Christ
Church, Westminster Bridge road, on
the occasion of the completion of the
Lincoln Tower, in connection with that
building. About twenty persons, in
cluding three ladies, hazarded the ascent
to the scafolding at the summit of the
tower-a height of 900 feet-some of the
less adventurous going up in hoist
provided with seat, while others pre-
ferred to ascend by ladders, in spite of
the uncomfortably strong breeze that
was blowing. The object of the gather
ing was to witness the Rev. Newman
Ball lay the topmost stone of the tower,
which is one of the highest of the old
English gothic type in London. When
the visitors had ranged themselves in
group round the spire, and the apertures
into which the iron supports of the top
stone fit had been filled with cement,
the architect handed a silver trowel to
Mr.. Hall, which had been specially pro-
vided for the occasion, with which the
reverend gentleman spread the cement
in true masonlike fashion, and when the
crowning stone, which is in the form of
cross, had been carefully lowered into
its place, the reverend gentleman said
"In the name of the Father, the Son,
and the Holy Ghost, this topstone is
low laid of the Lincoln Tower, erected
by equal contributions from citizens of
Great Britain and America, for the glory
of God and of peace and good will
among men, rs memorial of the aboli-
ton of slavery and Of President Lincoln,
and as token of international brother
hood. Net unto us, o Lord, not unto
us, but unto thy name be all the glory.
Accept the work of our hands, bless this
tower for thy glory and the promotion
of freedom, peace, and international
brotherhood. The Rev. Arthur Hall
then offered up brief prayer, and
"Praise God, from whom all blessings
fow," having been sung, the proceedings
were practically at an end. A conspicu-
GUS feature of the occasion was the Union
Jack and the Stars and Stripes flying
side by side on the summit, which at
tracted hundreds of spectators to the
spot. The cost of the tower is e7, 900,
and when surmounted by the fame, which
is 16 feet high, its total height will be
300 feet, about the same altitude as the
monument.-Lo1adon Ne,Os, Sept. 20.

"The family, eleven in number, in the
aggregate measured seventy feet and
one-half inch in height, weighed 1928
pounds, and the sum of their entire ages
then was 557 years. The computed
strength of the father and six sons was
$500 pounds. At that date 1856 there
were several grandchildren over 6! feet
high, and still growing. The mother,
Mrs. Katy Howard, nee Current, died
aged SS years, on May IA, 1870, near
Ruddells Mills, where she had lived for
sixty years-seven children surviving
her. She had twelve brothers and sis
ters, each over feet high"
In this connection we will state that
the Rev. James Quisenberry, of Clark
county, KY, had two sets of children,
twelve in each. The twenty-four chill
dren each had from twelve to nineteen
offspring. So Clark man, who heard
us speak of the tall families, says. A
Mason county gent added that Nelson
Cliff, of that county, had twenty seven
children. "Married several times, I
suppose9" we added. "No, sir, only
once, I THINK" he replied.

War on POlygamy.

Judge Boreman, of the Third District
Court, in charging the grand jury to-
day. says a Salt Lake telegram, ad-
monished them to indict number of
individuals implicated in swindling the
government out of Territory lands by
perjury and illegal voting. He particu-
larly instructed the jury to indict every
leader, proclaimer, or instigator of
polygamy, as they have in every way
possible shielded and prevented its
punishment. He said that polygamy
was loathsome ulcer and degrading
crime not emanating from any religion,
but fit only for the darkest days anterior
to the dawn of civilization, causing the
Mormons' bitter hostility to free schools.
Continuing in this strain, the Judge con-
cluded by saying that the government
was now in earnest and the people must
realize this fact. Polygamy has existed
so long solely by the forbearance and
generosity of the government. He said
it was nonsense for the Mormons to fight
against 40, 900, 900 of people, which they
will soon realize. The United States
is with them in prosperity but not in
polygamy.

NJ. Theirs, in a recent speech at banquet

believed that if they gained power, they would

ponents suppose. The European policy of the
future, he said, would be peace and non-inter-

Blown to Pieces.

On the afternoon of Thursday a lad
named McGrath was the victim of ter
ribIe casualty at Hydeville. He was
looking around slate quarry when he
came upon q can which had contained
nitro o-glycerine, but which had been
emptied four years ago, and had since
then been lying around the quarry. He
took it up, and, thinking to convert it to
some useful purpose, commenced ham
mering out dent. Suddenly the can
exploded with fearful noise. The e1-
plosion literally tore the young man to
pieces arm and leg, and the side
of his head were blown off. Empty
cans which have once contained nitro
glycerine are not safe things to handle,

Indians Looking for Scalps,

A dispatch from Sioux City says:
"Late news from the Upper Missouri
country represent the Indians as dissat-
isfied and insubordinate. The Black
Hills Treaty did not terminate to suit
them, and they are on watch for an ex-
cuse to kill somebody. Those at Chey-
enne Agency think they have struck it
in the person of the interpreter there,
for whom they have never felt much
brotherly love, and lately he has had to
exercise considerable strategy to pre-
serve his scalp. To-day he had to hunt
safer quarters. The indians say they
are bound to Lili him if he remains, and
they will not stop there when they COM
mence."

Cranes for the Sick.

At certain towns in Switzerland grapes
are grown solely as medicine, end the
vineyards are put to no other use. In
stead of drinking water, as at other
places, the patient is sent out to eat
grapes, and must pick them himself from
the vines. Where the doctor ordinarily
instructs the patient to drink SO many
glasses of water, he is here instructed to
eat Just so many punches of grapes, and
no more. Another popular treatment is
found at the mud baths of Schwalbach
and other places, where the patients are
immersed in soft black mud up to their
chin, and remain in the bath for some
hours.
