Aeep Away From the Black
Hills
(Csnncil Blufis Nonnarnil rn,o

Council Bluffs Nonpareil, June II,
The Black Hills business has about
come to a stand still. The Noaparea
mas been very guarded in advising
eastern, or for that matter parties
going into the Black Hills at the pres
ent time. Aside from the fact that
the reports from the hills are very
conflicting, as to the discovery of
gold, 1t cannot be denied that tho
present aspect Of affairs as regards
Indian troubles, is serious, view it as
you may. That thousands have
been duped to set on a hunt for
which they had not the slightest
qualification, by unprincipled agents
viii scarcely be denied at this day.
The wholesale slaughter Of unsusnec-
ting whites by the murderous red
devils must be stopped, and unless
eastern papers take up the matter.
adventurous people will press for the
hills, and TO meet their doom. The
Lincoln journal states that at pres
ent there are five hundred teams laid
up at Sidney, while at Cheyenne /,
must certainly double that number.
The Joia7ao? adds that a Situation ri
this sort cannot be much more
desirable one than being cooped up
In the Black Hills. Our advice to
eastern people, honestly given, is,
stay at home-or, if you must come
west, stop in in Iowa, where thou,
sands of free homes invite one and
all. Avoid the black hills, if Won
are not tired oflife.

In the foreign department there

the most part very wooden repre-.

The Fate of Chrisrs Execu-
TONERS,
From Mr.. MoOdy's Talk.

From Mr.. Moody's Talk.
PLATE saw that Christ was differ |
ent from any other person upon |
whom he had ever sat in Judgment. |
His own Judgment told him to re-
lease the prisoner, his own conscience
told him to release Him, his own
heart told him to release Him, his
wife even warned him to release
Him. But still PLATE had not the
moral courage to act upon his con-
victions, to be true to his convictions.
That's the trouble with many now.
Thousands and thousands more
would be saved than are saved il
they were true TO their convictions.
! They know they ought to accept
| Christ, and yet stand in doubt.
They reject Him as PLATE did.
Their character, like Pilates, is wa
vering, undecisive, and vacillating-
unstable as water. They will not
come to decision. They know,
down deep i'm their own hearts, that
they ought to receive Him, but their
moral eowardice will not enable
them to Withstand the SCOTS and
jeers of the unbelievers. plate, too.
was influenced by others, and in at
tempting to shift the responsibility
OF deciding upon the guilt or inno-
cence of the prisoner before him,
sunk deeper into the difficulty. He
was afraid, if he declared against
Christ, that the Emperor would de.
pose him, and that if on the other
hand, he decided in Christ's favor
he would excite the anger of the
Jews. He wanted office-that was
the secret. He cared more for the
applause of the people than for truth
and was ready to sacrifice honor, JUS
|, tice and purity-everything to re
tain his position. So, too, we ar,
, wavering, but shall we not decid,
, tonight? It is a solemn question
, this. All those who decided agasns
