spring is II try ing season. Indicitious Of sick

diseases may he caused by allowing the
bowels to become constipatcd and the system
to remain in n disordered condition, until
abe disorder has time to develop itself. An
ounce of prevention is worth n pound Of cure,
is an old and truthful saying. Therefore, We
advise all who are troubled with tho COM
plants now observation-disclosures, indlges-
ton, disordered liver, want of appetite,
nausea, or feverish skin, to take, without
delay, Schencls's Mandrake pills. Ne know
of no remedy so harmless and decisive in Its
action. 1t at once strikes at the root OF the
disease and produces n healthy tone to the
system. People never need suffer from any
disease arising from n disordered condition
OF the liver II they would take this excellent
medicine when they feel the first indications
of the malady. Families leaving home for
the summer months should take three or four
boxes of these pills with them. They have
an almost instantaneous effect. They will
relieve the patient of headache In one or two
hours. and will rapidly cleanse the liver of
surrounding bile. and will etfectually pre-
vent a bilious attack. They are sold by all
druggists.

The aumored Rebellion in Utah.

The Secretary of War does not be-
lieve that any emergency exists in Utah
which would require additional troops
to be sent to that territory. Informa-
ton received from military officers
there does not sustain the report re-
Gently printed with reference to a
threatened uprising among the Nor
mons. 1t is believed the present force
of troops in Utah is amply sufficient to
prevent any lawlessness. Gov. Emery
has expressed himself to this effect in
private letters recently received here.
AT military headquarters the urgent
appeals made for additional troops are
regarded as being prompted more by
the desire of suffers and p~ost-traders
to increase their business than from
any hostility threatened by the Nor
MONS. 1t is said most of the requests
thus far received come from this class
of people.
Should the Mormons openly rebel
and ''stand up to the rack'' they would
make a good fight. They are like the
Indian, in that they al subsist on al
most nothing, and if they were driven
to the mountains the war would be
long, bloody and costly.

Latest Reports Concerning Lame Deer's
Defeat-"One More Hunt" and His
Last One.

Lieut.. W. p. Clark, of Gen. Crooks
staff, who has been investigating the
conflicting reports brought in by Chey-
enne runners, concerning Lame Deer's
defeat on tue Rosebud, telegraphed
Gen. Sheridan, on Tuesday last, to the
effect that after a careful investigation,
he considers the part Of the Cheyennes'
story relating to Sitting Bull to be alb
solutely false, that chief being north of
the Yellowstone. and probably north of
the Missouri. The rest of the Chey-
ennes' report appears to be founded on
fact, though there is no certainty about
it. Probably Lame Deer's village was
captured and the version Of the affair
heretofore given correct.
Gen. Crook, who arrived here yester-
day, and made a social call at this office,
states that Lame Deer and his band
had many councils with Spotted Tail
when he went out on his mission of
peace, and finally consented to come in
to the Agency, but after travelling a day
"a thO WIN oIu DpOt, ttSiNCu W
turn back for the purpose of having
one more hunt in the buffalo country.
He did so and it has proved to be his
last hunt. Gen N. A. Miles, with the
indomitable Fifth Infantry, happened
to be hunting hostiles at the same time,
and we are assured that he found them
and manufactured some "good Indi-
ans'' on the Custer plan.
Lame Deer is Il chief who has been
brave, cunning and t~reacherous to a
degree only paralleled by Sitting Bull,
and the announcement of his sudden
taking off causes n thrill of joy in
every true borderman's heart. His
band has been scattered to the four
winds and will harm the whites no
moro.

from 4 flying trip to Denver, where he
has been on business connected with
his mining claims. lie leaves to-day
for Hahn's peak, and intends to return
in thirty days time if possible. He
proposes starting to work with Il large
force, drifting on the old Arapahoe bar,
and has organized a company for that
purpose. He says that heretofore the
company working the bar labored un-
der great difficulties, and their efforts
have been but slightly appreciated, but
new developments have strengthened
them in the belief that they have n
of the finest mines in the country.
Until quite recently they have confined
operations to ground sluicing, but have
nov commenced drifting. They have
removed thirty-five feet of solid gravel
by sluicing alone. and are now within
three feet of rim-rock. At least seven
eighths of the gold will be found, from
indications already shown, in this last

success imaginable, and have no doubt
but that his dreams of future wealth
will be fully realized, from the conf

Orders having been received reliev-

in this department, and requiring them
to rejoin the Department of the Mis-

occasion to express his warmest appre-
citation of their gallant, soldierly and
efficient conduct during the recent
campaign against the hostile Sioux.
The duties required of the officers
and men of this command have been
extremely arduous, and have required
on their part more than ordinary gal
lantry in action, as well as much expo
sure and deprivation. The command
ing General is happy to say that these
duties have been performed to his en-

his thanks to Col. Mackenzie and his

Another Map.

Another "map of the Black Hills"
has been gotten out, this time by II.
J.. Thayer, of Denver, and with due
Difference to that gentleman's feelings,
we must pronounce it very incorrect.
1t locates Deadwood a trifle farther east
than Custer, and therefore farther in
side the Dakota boundary. The writer
has just returned from Il trip to the
Hills, has made careful observations,
and can therefore speak with accuracy.
Deadwood is northwest of Custer, and
inside of the Wyoming line. The road
from Custer to Deadwood runs due
northwest to the head Of Whitewood
creek, where it turns and runs n little
east of north, some eight or ten miles to
Deadwood. Mountain City, which on
Thayer's map is also located in Dakota,
must be very neal to, il not exactly
upon the boundary line, but is probably
in Wyoming. The map is also full of
mistakes in the location and direction
of roads and streams. 1t is said to
have been made from Capt. Stanton's
surveys, and other sources, and Capt.
Stanton himself says that Deadwond is
undoubtedly in Wyoming.

Yesterday morning, when the day
force employed in the famous Terrible
silver mine, at Georgetown, Colo, en-
tered the shaft to begin work, they
found the mangled corpses of John
Gregory, Harry Walters, and a COM

night force, all of whom had been torn
TO pieces by an explosion of powder.
AS the entire force in the mine was
killed, the story of the disaster will not
be revealed until the morning of the
day when earth and sea shall give up
their dead.
