CHIEFS IN CHICAGO
Visit of Spotted Tail and His Brother
Chiefs to the Chicago Exposition.

Spotted Tail and party visited the
Exposition on Saturday at the invitation
of the managers. They were taken to
the building in carriages, and under
the guidance of Secretary Reynolds in
spected the different departments. At
first they moved in regular procession,
headed by Mr.. Reynolds and Spotted
Tail, the thief taking the arm of the
Secretary. Their presence created a
great excitement among the people
present, and an escort of policemen
wal provided to keep off the crowd.
The Indians looked about with interest,
but did not express any desire to make
a careful inspection of anything until
they approached the big fly-wheel. At
this they broke ranks and divided up
into groups for close examination. The
steam hammer rear by was the next
wonder, and as it pounded away, stopped
suddenly and pounded away again, the
copper-colored gentlemen exhibited Il Q
liveliest curiosity as to the spasmodic
and vehement movement. Just as
there were signs of a panic II long
nosed individual saw the movement of
the ope.ator's foot, and the party moved
on with the air of a party of boys
supremacy conscious of knowing a thing
or two. They went up in the elevator,
and as it started INDUCED in a series of
whoops that caused a stampede among
the people below. They went through
the picture gallery without noticing
even "Sunset in the Black Hills" but
formed a circle about Wits f~ull-length
picture of President Hayes, and stood
for many minutes exchanging looks and
mods as the interpreter explained. The
process of manufacturing shoes seemed
to interest them more than anything
else, and the celebrity of the workmen
called put curious manifestations of
surprise and approval. Inter-Ocean.

The Greatest Medical Discovery since the Cred-

There never has bcen.a time when the

sort TO the use of ordinary plasters.
DIR MELvIN's CAPsIcuM Porous PLAsTERs

them, to act quicker Than any other plaster

THE NEE r WAR.
Joseph Gone 10 join Sitting Buli-A General
Indian War Feared In the Extreme
North.

The efforts of the army during the
summer to whip the small band of Nez
Perces under Chief Joseph have ex-
cited the derision, not only Of the hos
tiles, but of every white settler in Mon
tana. In almost every encounter with
the redskins the troops have received a
setback, and at the present time tie
tribe of Joseph is moving toward Car
ada, and cannot possibly be reached by
any of the soldiers now in the field,
unless he provokes a fight, which is not
at all likely. 1t is estimated that JOS
eph has not had with him at any time
more than three hundred warriors, and
with this force he has met Howard,
Gibbon and Sturgis, fought and es-
capped them. This he has done without
any considerable loss of men or ami
mails. Latest advices place his band
north of the Missouri, heading for the
camp of Sitting Bull, in the Wood
mountains, a short distance across the
line. From other trustworthy sources
it is learned that several bands have
left the northern agencies and gone
across the line, and that at the present
time there are from ave to nine thou
md warriors in the vicinity of the
Wood mountains, who + supplied with
arms and ammunition, and liable to
return this side of the boundary at any
time. This is not an exaggerated
statement. The figures are those fur
nished by Canadian officials, and have
been corroborated by other reliable
parties who have visited this vast In
dian camp. Under the circumstances,
a general Indian val is looked upon as
a very grave possibility, and there arc
certainly reasons for such al opinion.

THE Z wHAr-Is-rT.


The great what-is-it, the Colorado
giant recently exhumed by Mr.. ". A.
Conant, near Pueblo, in Colorado, ar
rived in Denver last Tuesday, and is
now on exhibition. The ''giant," says
the Denver Tribune, is certainly a
master curiosity and is likely to receive
no small degree of attention from the
scientists and curious. 1t has not yet
been examined by anyone capable of
saying what it is, but opinion seems to
be divided between its being a petri<
faction and a piece of sculpture. Which,
ever it may be, it is truly a wonder.
If the petrifed remains of a man, it
will be found to he one of the strongest
arguments for Darwin's theory of the
development of the race that has ever
come to the attention of mankind.
Indeed it will prove almost the missing
link. The arms are very long in pro-
portion to the other members of the
body, and one can see at a glance that
it could have used these as ftr3 feet
WllLUul lllt ltdol INCONVENIENCE ~ 3bo
movements. 1t has a tail, a real tail,
a caudal appendage as well developed
as that of a rabbit at least. The tail is
four inches long and of such a nature
that no one can mistake the purposes
for which it was intended.
The figure is certainly that of Il man
and the material is stone. The limbs
are all well developed but do not look to
have been as muscular as bony. The
body and arms are longer in proportion
than the legs. The features of the face
are not repulsive and are well marked,
if we except the forehead. There is
very little forehead indeed, the head
receding from the eyebrows. The nose
is rather large, and he would have been
known as rather a Cheeky individual
had he lived in the nineteenth century.
The mouth and chin are not unlike men
of our present day. The greater part
of the head is behind the ears. The
body looks very much like any other
| stone that has been subjected to the
weather. The stone is pecked all over
as if rain had fallen on it until the
water had beaten its way into the stone,
giving the whole body the appearance
of a man who had died with smallpox.
One hand falls by the side of the body
and the other rests with an air of re-
pose upon the breast, The hands and
feet are large and fiat, and seem to in
dictate that the being would have been
as much at home in the water as or
land.
The dimensions have been carefully
,ntod n,,l nr.o nc follntrc.

Boschee's German Syrup a now be
purchased right at home; it is the most
successful preparation ever introduced
to our people. 1t works like n charm
in all cases Of consumption, pneumonia,
hemorrhages, asthma, severe coughs,
Group and all other throat and lung
diseases. No person has ever used this
medicine without getting immediate
relief, yet there are a great many poor,
suffering, skeptical persons going about
our streets with a suspicious cough, and
the voice of consumption coming from
their lungs, that will not try 1t. If

The East Indian Wizard and Mind
Reader, will interest the public Satur-
day night, at McDaniels' New Theatre,
in some of the supernatural powers
which he possesses. We have seen some
of his exhibitions, which are certainly
no humbug; therefore, we recommend
him to all believers or unbelievers in
the supernatural. He will stand in
vestigation, not by one, but by the
whole community. The Professor has
but a very few equals in his line of bus
mess, and as a magician we have never
seen anything in his line before. Now
yon see it and now you don't see it.
The Professor will remain here with us
and show the truth of Spiritualism and
expose the humbuggery that is played
on the public. 1t

An Unnatural and N onstrous Crime.

A Laramie City exchange tells the
subjoined horrible story:
TUESDAY afternoon a lady informed
Judge Brown, county attorney, that
the body of an infant was being dragged
about an alley in the south part of the
city, by hogs and dogs.
Repairing to the spot the dead body
of an infant was found, which was
identified as the child of j. X. Burbank,
which died two weeks ago, and which
Burbank had himself buried in the
night after it had died.
The place where the body had been
buried was discovered, in a garden
close by, where it had been placed in a
small box, and covered with u few in
ches of loose dirt.
Burbank went and pretended to show
where he had buried the child, and
after digging down a while it was found
to be false. He was then taken to the
body, and admitted that it was the
body of his child.
He still insisted he had buried it
properly, and in a coffin. Search was
then made through his house, and the
coffin found in a closet. He then ad-
mitted that he had taken the body out
of the coffin and buried it in a box.
Burbank was permitted to 60, as
there seems to be no law against a man
feeding his dead infants to the dogs
and hogs in the street if he chooses"
