Do you Desire to be Cured Of the Appe.

course Of a few days the anti.periodic
properties Of the cinchoua begin to tell,

ture, but also for everything in the way
of alcohol
Recently, in this city, a well-known
gentleman--who has in times past been
on his $500 and $1,000 sprees--tried
this remedy, telling the various drug
gists where he drank it that he was
fighting, and would conquer, the greatest
demon on earth; but they would hardly
believe him. Yet he conquered, and
the appetite for drink vanished. He
was never nervous, never lost his appe-
tite or sleep during the siege, and came
out of the ordeal in perfect health.
During the time the fever lasted I gave
him two or three doses Of simple medi.
cine for his general health, but the tine
ture of cinchona did the business. This
case can be verified by the proprietors
of seven of our drug stores. So we'll
satisfied am Of the value Of the treat
ment, that l will guarantee cure in all
cases, using this remedy alone.
r. D'UNGER, M. D.
In subsequent letter, communicated
to the Chicago Tribune, DR.. D'Unge,
says:
AS all medical men and druggists are
aware, there is large amount of adul
teration in the peruvian bark of com
merce," many barks which are mixed
with the genuine possessing the same
bitter principle observed in quinine, bur
not the dlterattue and dnti-periodtt
properties which the genuine bark dlont
possesses. In speaking of tincture O.
!. cinchona, therefore, should have men
toned that the bark out of which it i,
made must be pure, for it is he anti
periodic property that cures inebridtion
We know of men in this vicinity who
would be among our best citizens, were
they not slaves to the appetite for alco
holic stimultants. They had better
try the above remedy. 1t cannot hur
them, and if it does cure them Of tha
craving appetite, their manhood will b,
redeemed, aud their friends and neigh
bors have occasion to rejoice.

The only murders ever committed BY
the Indisss 10 Boise valley took place
twenty-five or thirty miles below the
spot where Boise City now stands, 10
1854, when all of the mss, wuaeu snd
children Except four or Eve, c6mposing
tho Ward train. from Missouri, were
either brutally massacred outright or
put slowly to death by FIRE. The train
was suiail one, consisting perhaps Of
eight or ten persons, all told. The train
the w<iter. travelled Hith.Wa three days
in advance Or the Ward train, and had
reached point beyond the Malheur,
when it was overtakcn by Enoch Fruit,
trader, who was on the way to the Dalles
with news of the horrible deed. Fruit
had ridden his horse down and came in
t, our camp afoot. He remained one
night with US aud left the following
morning. Our train contained eleven
men, if memory serves US right. two Of
whom Immediately started back to old
Fort Boise, to visit the scene OF the
butchery in company with several who
joined them on the way. There were
several white men living at the trading
post at Fort Boise. Arriving at the
spot it was discovered that the wagons
had been destroyed and the stock driven
off by the Indians, who fed immediate
ly after the commission Of the deed.
The party buried all the bodies, includ.
ing all that was left of the remains of
several women. These women had been
burned at the stake and their bodies
thrust full Of firebrands. This latter
was done by the squaws which diaboli.
cal work is usually left for them to do.
Two little boys belon ing to Ward had,
in the confusion of the massacre, escap-
ed to the thick willows which grew on
the bank Of the river, but when after,
wards found several arrows we're still
sticking in the back of each. The boys
could see the devilish work OF the In
dians going on from their place of con
, cealment. One man who escaped reach
ed Fort Boise in half starved condi.
ton, with mind scarcely clear enough
to tell what had happened. The two
boys, when taken to the settlements
were handsomely provided for by Gen
, Joe Lane, then Delegate in Congress
Boise river at that time was lined witt
Indians. the most of whom were hide
ously painted aud very insolent. Th'
night our train camped at Fort Bois,
t two or three hundred Indians assembled
there and held big war dance, and ",
narrowly missed suffering the fate of th'
Ward company. Maj. Haller, of For

Distressing Situation Of Young Ladies
III Oregon.

The Portland papers have lately
copied an article from the Syracuse, N.
Y. Standard, asserting that there was
great want of women IN Oregon. aud
suggesting an expectation from the eas,
of few cargoes to supply the demand.
Soon after appeared letter from Syr-
acuse young lady, addressed to the
Mayor of Portland intimatipg that she
was ready to come aud seeking infor-
nation from him. This was submitted
to the honorable the city council of
Portland, to be actel upon by them,
who as we are made to understand or
dered letter in answer to be prepared
aud forwarded to the anxious young
lady. This letter of the young lady
and the proceedings of the council were
published, whereupon follows letter
addressed to Mr.. Simon from some of
the ladies of Oregon. This letter is
also published and is in the following
language:
-, Oregon, May 18th. 1878.
JOSEPH SIMON, Eso-4Ny Dear Sir:
We noticed by yesterdays Standard
that communication from Syracuse,
New York, over the signature of GER
tain young lady in that city, the con-
tents of which are familiar to you, was
referred to you by the City Council OF
Portland after being read before that
body. In preparing your report for the
Council, please remember your friends
in -. 1t will be unnecessary to pre-
sent this letter to the City Council, as
we will abide by your decision, but for
heaven 8 sake consider it carefully before
bringing any more girls to Oregon.
Please answer, and oblige your friends
Tle foregoing appeal must touch the
feelings of Mr.. Simon and no doubt vii
have great influence in debating ths
language Of his report. 1t is too bad
that these eastern women should be per
mjttcd to come to Oregon and come ii
competition with Oregon's daughters
There is no doubt that many in Oregon
have seriously felt the Disadvantages un
der which they suffered when brough
into comparison with women from tn,
east, and we cannot blame them for ap
pealing to the authorities to prevent thu
bringing anv more girls to Oregon
Poor dear creaturers. How they mus
suffer in their anticipations of the future
there would be before them. 10 cas-,
eastern woman should be allowed :,
come between them and Oregon's prom
ising and gallant young men. Perhaps
Senator Mitchell could do some thing il
Congress to avert the trcatened rush o
eastern woman to that State, and VI,
would suggest that he b. appealed t.
early III the matter, lest his Senatoria
career be terminated before he had tim
to introduce bill for their relief. If i
WI aid IN the matter, the ladies of Ida
no and Eastern Washington will not S
seriously object to the presence of east
ern women coming among them, havin,
confidence they can stand off, carg
or two OF them at any rate.

Those Striped Stockings.

A YOUNG man whose age might have
been twenty-three, and whose red
cheeks, saffron colored neck-tie and in
nocent look proved the innocence of his
heart and good bringing up, yesterday
made three different attempts to enter
a Woodward avenue -dry-goods store
before he got in to stay, although he
had for a straight half hour been look
ing longingly at the array of striped
and embroidered stockings in the win
dow. When asked what he desired to
look at he blushed like a girl and
skulked toward a pile of bed-ticking.
The clerk asked him what price he de-
sired to pay, and was going on to say
that the Governor of Michigan always
bought his ticking there, when the
young man asked:
"Do women wear them ere stockings
in the winder?''
Eyes, of course"
"Put 'em on just the same as other
stockingsP'
"Of course. All the ladies have
worn them for two or three years.
Would you like to look at the styles?"
"Y-e-s!" whispered the stranger as
he glanced furtively around.
A dozen pairs We're thrown down,
and hereached out carefully, lifted each
one and carefully laid aside a pair of
hose with red stripes chasing each other

whispered as he looked up.
THAT pair of stockings will cost you
only eighty cents, sir. They are the
best bargain in Detroit"

seven dollars. How many pairs can a

piled the clerk. Here are four differ
ent colors of the same size"
"rll take 'em. hain't seen one of
'emin our town yet, and I'll bet they'll
raise more excitement than a circus"
Is there anything more?" asked the
clerk as he laid the stockings aside.

then pale, and in an entreating voice he
asked:

A Texan GuanO Cave.

THE Uvalde (Texas) Umpire de-
scribes the famous bat cave in that
country and the operations of COM
pany formed about a year ago for the
removal of the guano. The Umpire
says: "The company have been max
ing very satisfactory Roadway remov-
ing from three to ten tons each day,
which they ship to Galveston, thence to
Scotland, where use is made of it for
different purposes, but principally in
the manufacture of ammonia. The
mountain where the bat cave is stu
ated is about twenty miles north of
Uvalde. Nearly to the top of one of
the highest in the range are the several
openings of the cave. These entrances
are facing north, the largest being
about fifty feet in width and twenty in
height, the others being smaller, de-
creasing to size not large enough to
allow Il man to get through. The cave
increases in dimensions inside, and eX-
tends q considerable distance beyond
where the workmen are engaged re-
moving the guanO, at point about $50
or 500 feet from the entrance. There is
a tramway constructed upon which are
run cars or carts, with a carrying ca
pacity of about one ton each. The
motive power is a Jack" run by the
same engine used in the operation of
drying. The drying operation is very
ingenious construction, originated by
Mr.. Huertzall. 1t is an iron cylinder
about three and one-half feet in diam
eter, resting upon stone foundation,
and directly beneath it is placed the fire.
In this cylinder runs a shaft to which
are attached number of small arms or
paddles. The revolving of this shaft
and paddles causes the guano to pass
entirely through the cylinder, after
which it is sufficiently dry to pack for
shipment 1t is expected that an i'm
provement will be made in all the ma
chinery used, so as to enable them to
prepare twenty or thirty tons per day
for shipment 1t would be utterly i'm
possible for one to make even fairly
correct estimate of the number of bats
inhabiting the cave, but that an idea
may be given, we would state that for
more than three hours they were pass
ing out in flock or continual flying
procession, occupying the entire width
of the openings of the entrance"

A Deer That Shot Niagara.

A CORE spondent, "W.," whose state
ment is entitled to full credence, sends
us the following account of a rem arka-
BILE episode at Niagara years ago:
About the year 1926 to 1880 there
lived on the Saunders Settlement
Road" about four miles from the falls,
a family by the name of Straw, who
had captured, in the then dense forest
of the neighborhood, young fawn,
which was domesticated, and became so
much attached to its captors that it
would follow the children into the
house and played with them like dog.
In time it became so much attached to
the team and its driver that it would
follow wherever they went
One day a grist was taken to the mill
at the falls to be ground, and the deer,
as usual followed to keep company. AS
the mill was approached hound gave
the deer chase, which, for safety, leaped
the raceway and sought an asylum be-
low the mill, but was instantly swept
by the rushing waters down and over
the American Falls. Soon it was dis
covered below by some persons who
had watched the cruel chase, and seen
to swim ashore at the Ferry Landing,
and it actually climbed out upon the
rocks, where, from some injury it had
received from the fall, or from fright,
it soon persisted. Niagara Falls Ga

How Prairie Dogs Get Water.

1t has always been a subject of curl
osity and inquiry as to how and where
prairie dogs, living on the prairie, far
away from any river or stream, obtain
their water. Mr.. F. Leech, formerly of
Mercer County, Pennsylvania, and a
frontiersman of experience, asserts that
the dogs dig their own wells, each vii
lage having one with a concealed open
ing. 1t matters not how far down the
water may be, the dogs will keep on
digging until they reach it, He knows
one such well 200 feet deep, and having
a circular staircase, leading down to
the water. Every time a dog wants to
drink he descends the staircase, which
considering the distance, is no mean
task. In digging for water the ami
mails display as much pluck as in re-
sisting the efforts of settlers to eXpel
them from the land of their progenitors.

Wants it for His Wife.

At Stewards, New York, is shawl
that was made for Empress Eugene.
1t is the most exquisite fine embroidery
of flowers on groundwork composed
of small band-woven squares set to-
gether in the most delicate manner.
Mr.. Stewart paid 100000 for the shawl.
We have about decided to purchase it
for our wife. As a general thing we
don't pay over one-fourth that sum for
the shawls, but as strong effort is now
being made by Kearney and his cohorts
to compel us rich fellows to divide our
wealth equally among them, we shall
circumvent their designs to some ex-
tent by investing large portion of our
gold and bonds in clothes for our fami-
ly during the next few weeks, and we
are looking around for a 100000 pair

Banged Hair and Close Dresses.

EVERY day | meet in the streets of
Boston young ladies, who would other
wise look intelligent, reduced to the ap-
pearance of idiocy by peculiar method
of combing the hair down over the
forehead. This hideous deformity is
evidently copied from the patients of
lunatic asylums and schools for the
feeble-minded. The effect is shocking.
Although not fastidious, shrink from
these ladies as children shrink from
hideous mask. Is it protest against
being considered strong-minded that
the young women thus assume the
garb of idiocy? L am told that a lady
thus degraded is said to have her hair
banged" But it seems to me that
her sanity must be badly banged to
thus deform herself.
The present hot weather is made
more intolerable by the spectacle of
women with dresses which cling to
their forms with closeness positively
