A Compliment to Wyoming and Her
Delegate in Congress.

We learn from the Congressional
Record hat Speaker Kerr has APP
pointed Col. Steele n member of the
Committee on Indian Affairs, in pur-
uan of a resolution of the House,
providing for the appointment of one
delegate on each of the Committees of
Indian Affairs, Public Lands, Mines
and Territories. The selection of Col.
Steele for the important Committee on
Indian Affairs is a deserved compli-
ment to that gentleman and a due
recognition of his services and abili-
ties, MS well as high honor upon the
Territory he represents.

Mr.. !. S. Collins has just opened to
The public. under the management of
Mr.. j. II. C. Brown, the Rustic Ho-
tel" at Fort Laramie. The house is
entirely newly constructed, and fur
nished from cellar to garnet new
throughout. The. manager will ac-
commodate all with clean beds and
first-class meals. A large corral and
ample stabling are attached to
the Hotel. Corn, oats and hay for
sale.
The Rustic" is the headquarters of
the GREAT BLACK HILLS STAGE
LINE. Red Cloud, Camp Robinson
and Spotted Tail mail stages also
leave this point, crossing the Platte
river over the new iron bridge built by
the government. The well sustained
reputation of Mr.. Collins for enter
prise and thoroughness in all he un-
dertakes, and the popularity of the
manager, Mr.. Brown, are a guarantee
to all travellers who will patronize the
Rustic" that they will meet with the
best of treatment at the new hotel.

A mcritcd Reward.

While DR.. Kennedy's reputation as
being one of the boldest and most sue
cessful' surgeons in our state had much
to do with the rapid introduction OF
this Fayorite Remedy in Jul city,
where be has practiced for the last six
years. with unparalleled success, yet
this does no account for the introduce
ton and continually increasing de-
o medicinein other states,
while at home the sale of Favorite
Remedy hos nearly iflnot quite super
seeded MI othersand older preparations.
Let it be remembered also that up to
this day the Doctor has not advertised
the article in any of the adjoining
states and yet there lis hardly a state
intthe Union butwhat has ordered the
medicine through the regular business
channels. These facts force us to con-
clude. and we are frank to confess,
that the real cause of the wonderful
success of the Doctors enterpiis e is
due to the medicinal merit of the pre-
paration. We publish the following
letter, written by q first-class business
nrn OF another state, where the people
have never seen DIR. Kennedy, or even
heard of his professional reputation.
However, we copy the letter word for
word, and leave the readers of the
freeman to draw their own conclu-
sions:
-Riverton, Conn.,, Feb. 9th. 1876.
Dr. ID. Kennedy, Rondout, N. Y.
Dear Sir Please send us at once one
quarter gross Of your Favortte Rene
dy. Your preparation has given uni
versai satisfaction to every person who
has used II inthis place.
Oneslady who has purchased and
used three bottles OF the medicine tes-
titles on her own account to its won
derful merit. while others speak in the
most glowing terms of its great heal
ing powers. The question is often
asked is 1t possible that this medi
! gives the same satisfaction in al
other places2" We used to sell Aver
sarsapnrilla and vegetine, but since W
have been able to secure your Favorit
Remedy. 1t has quito superseded tn
sale of these articles.
We wish you would advertise 1t l
this action. Although II would ha,
to bear composition with other med
cines, yet we are satisfied II would b
come the leading proprietary medicii
of the day. Respectfully yours.

Something AbsEt ssRe Of lie New Maps
Of DE Gsid fields.


Of he Gsid Fields,
Nj. Mast has recently published an
excellent map Of Wyonaiag aud the
Black Hills, giving all the informa-
ton to be obtained from the most re-
cent Government surveys, and making
in all typographical respects a very re-
liable map. Many others have also
been printed recently. and are being
sold over the country, which are not
nearly so accurate as Mr.. Masi,s. And
1t is on account of the general excel
lenee Of the latter map that we wish
to call attention to some of It's defects
defects which are calculated TO mis-
lead the public. The gold fields of
Wyoming are rich enough and extern
sive enough to render all overstate-
ments as to their character useless and
even mischieyous.
First, then, on Mr.. MASKS map, gold
is marked down as existing all through
the Panther and Wolf mountains, ly-
ing on Powder, Rosebud and Tongue
rivers, east of the Big Horn range.
The fact is. there are no mountains in
this region worthy the name. They
are simply high, bad-land buttes,
which in many instances attain al
most the magnitude of mountains, but
having scarcely a hard rock. Indeed,

That was a trying situation il
which a lady found herself one
night not long ago, where with bel
husband she was stopping over
night at a hotel in a western city.
The man was subject TO severe at
tacks Of collie, and was taken sick
there in the night. He told bis
wife that he must have immediate
relief OF he could not live; thought
mustard plaster would help him.
She hastily robed herself, went
down stairs and found the watch
man, who admitted her to the din
ing room, and she spread the mus
tard from q castor on her handker-
chief and FASTENED up stairs.
Finding the door ajar she rushed
in, turned down the bed clothes
and slapped the mustard draft on
the unconscious mans bowels. He
instantly sprang up in bed and in
a strange voice said: my God
Madam, what are you doing :"
She had got it on the wrong man.
We leave the reader to imagine her
feelings. She found her own room
and in accents Of horror told her
husband the facts. The extreme
righteousness Of the incident set
him into an inordinate fit of laugh
ter that relieved him as thoroughly
as the mustard would have done.
In the gloom Of half past two
the next morning, before many Of
the guests were up, man, woman,
trunks, bandboxes, etc, might have
been seen leaving quietly for the
early train. For the woman's name
was ON the handkerchief.
