elaborated new theory of the Exodus,
to wit that the Red Sea got frozen over
and so afforded the Israelites a safe
passage; but when Pharoah with his

broke through and were drowned. A

Law and Order In Deadwood.

We have seen of late numerous let
tiers from Deadwood in which the wri-
tiers assert that there are from one to
two murders there every day. The
men who write these stories lie, and
know that they lie. Deadwood is a
wicked city-a very wicked city-but
the truth is bad enough and we cannot
conceive why cheap scribblers need to
tell SO many and so glaring ~falsehoods.
The writer recently spent three weeks
in Deadwood, and during all that time
but one pistol shot was heard, which
proved to have been fired by q boy, and
killed a worthless dog. This, with the
fact that we have reliable correspond
ents there who promptly inform us of
tragic occurrences, gives us ample war
rant for denouncing such correspond
ents as base liars. We cannot fathom
their motives, and shall not attempt to-.
Deadwood is almost as orderly and law
abiding as Omaha or Denver, and is rs
unlike the pictures painted of her as
n can well imagine.

How Arc You Sidney

A telegram from Deadwood, received
last evening, states that 'the Cheyenne

points Saturday morning, arrived in
front of the hotel here this evening at
the same moment This shows a diff
ference in time in favor of the Chey-
enne route of seven hours, as there is a
lay-over Of twelve hours OH our route,
owing to the fact that it passes over a
new road from Hat Greek to Mountain
City, which, owing to the drivers not
being acquainted with it, is not deemed
safe for night travel at present. Our
stage starts at 4 a. M, and the Sidney
stage at 0 Il. M, five hours later,
leaving us seven hours ahead on actual
