iterated his remark about the young

along the Missouri River kept it up in
the interest of the dealers in miners
supplies; the railroads aided TO keep it
up in their own interest; the stage-coach
lines across the Plains We're the circulat-
ing agents for all the lying reports of the
richness of the country. My mining
friends always ended their stories with,
:. Now, old fellow. YOU know the bottom,
and we don't want you to give us away.
You see we have wintei'ed here on flour
At - pound, have risked our lives and
ruined our health, and are dead busted:
our only chance of getting back 10 the
States is by working some pilgrim. We
amt mean with them. We alters leave
them something to get home with" All
this interesting information was given
me on my road back to Denver.
On the Plains we passed hundreds OF
men walking the $50 miles to the Mis-
souri, River Some had cur their trouSer
legs off close to their thighs to make
wrappings TO keep the alkaline dust
from their travel-worn feet. Others had
handcarts. in which they dragged along
their provisions and all that remained to
them of worldly gear. Many who had
started ont with eight oxen were return
ING with one scrawny yoke harnessed TO
the front axle and wheels of the wagon
All had pitiful stories TO tell of homes
and property sold and the proceeds ven
tured in an outfit. But not one of them
would make Il complaint. or give in
formation, to any outgoing emigrant.
Every one appeared to desire, in the bit
terness OF his heart. that these gayly
equipped and prosperous-looking peo-
pie should learn for themselves. The
keepers of ranches along the road. who
had given such rose-colored accounts to
lis on our outward way, when jokingly
asked why they lied so, answered, for
bread and butter.''
In my judgment, the history of these
diggings, and the suffering consequent
upon the untruthful accounts circulated
their richness, is about to be
in the Black Hills. The time
is at hand when stage routes can begin
running with profit to themselves. The
great Government that stole that region
from its rightful owners must needs try
and justify the theft by showing it to be
worth the stealing. This can better be |
done by encouraging the emigration of
81, 600 men than of less number. as
that would save the necessity of keeping
a standing army in the Hills to protect /
them. Every Western railroad man.
every army sutler whose chance to steal 1
has been lately limited. every dealer in
miners supplies, will at once pre-
cipitate himself upon the frontier press;
every correspondent from Eastern cities
viii be made much of. and, if possible,
brought TO see things in the proper rosy
light. Then will be seen an exodus from /
Omaha, to be followed-if no gold is
iound-by rain. starvation, and murder;
md by scenes of violence and bloodShed
heretofore unheard of. if the diggings
prove profitable. For never before in
he history of the world has the vaga-
bond and lawless portion OF community
,ound itself only six days journey from
4 rich gold country, where there is no
adequate organized means for the en-
orcement OF the laws protecting prop

TO ALL, PARTICULARLY INvALIDs.

Spring is a trying season. Indications of sick
ness should at once be attended to- Fatal diseases
may be caused by allowing the bowels to become
constpsted and the system to remain in dior
dered condition, rntil the disorder has time to de-
veloD itself. An ounce of prevention is worth q
pound of cure, is an Old and truthful saying.
Therefore, we advise all who are troubled with the
complaints now very prevalent headache, indiges-
ton, disordered liver want of appetite, nausea,
feverish skin, to, take, without delay, Schenck's
Mandrake Pills We know of no remedy so harm
less and decisive in its action. 1t at strikes
at the root of the disease aud produces healthy
tone to the system. People never need suffer from
any disease arising from q disordered condition OF
the liver If they would take this excellant medicine
when they feel the first indications of the malady.
Families leaving home for the summer months
should take three four boxes of these pills with
them They have almost instaneous effect
They will relieve the patient of headache in one OF
two hours, and will rapidly cleanse the liver o.

Nerves that ouiver.

Heads that ache, stomachs that inaict
dyspeptic torments, muscles and joints
racked with the rheumatism, are infallibly
restored to health by the celebrated elixir,
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, medicine
prescribed by physicians, possessing in
finite purity, and which no one takes in
vain who is afflicted with any of the num-
erous complaints to which it is adapted.
1t frequently happens that so-called RENE
dies fail to produce permanent effect.
This is because they are merely palliatives,
and therefore do not remove the cause oil
the maladies, whose symptoms they after
time cease to ameliorate. This is
notably the case with opiates and sedatiye
drugs. 1t is not so, however, with Hos.
letters Bitters. which are searching

as banishes its a,dicia.

OUT OF SEVEN MEN,
And Mains Several others.

CHESTER, Pa, May 22.-This morning
the Saratoga,a a large iron steamship which
was to be launched at Roach's ship yard,
started from its blocking sooner than was
expected killing and wounding many.
Six dead bodies have been recovered.
About forty men were under the Saratoga
when she went off. The order was given
for them to come off but was not heard
The names of the killed, as far as known
are-Edward Foley, John Nelson,
Charles Wright and Edward Burke. The
wounded are George Wolf, mortally. and
seriously. 1t is thought that some work
men were killed and dragged into the
water by the ship. The bodies Of
the dead are horribly mangled. one being
literally cut iii halves, and others with
their legs and arms torn off
The ship yard is thronged with friends
and relatives of the victims, and presents
very distressing scene.
The total number killed is seven. j. j.
Crew, George Woof and Barney Cannon
are the names of the others.
The three persons wounded will probably
recover. All the killed and wounded were
workmen knocking blocks from under the
keel.
The scene was heart rending. Flags
are at half mast throughout the town and
work at the yard is stopped. The famil-
les of the killed will be furnished money.
The manager of the launch states that he
found the ship ready to move and called
for all hands to get out from under before
cutting loose. The men down by the after
blocking evidently didn't hear the order oil
didn't obey as they had fully FIVE minute,
Ito get out.
