By excesses imprudence in eating, cannot hope
to escape the consequences for any great length of

abuses of that important function. But supposing
we have been foolish enough to enfeebe the stomach,
is the damage irreparable? By no means. The
dyspeptic has only to do two things to insure his III
innate recovery. First he should adopt an easily

From Mr.. r. G. Knox, who came last weeh
from the terminus, We learn some facts OF
interest concerning Oneida, the freighter'
headquarters, also of the amount of transpor.
tation now on the road. When Mr.. Knox
left Oneida there were one hundred and fifty
wagons either loading, or preparing to load
at that point. On the way up he passed 265
all loaded, and slowly crawling on their way
to Montana, and met 447 bound south, on the
return trip from Montana, most of them load
ed with ore or Hecla bullion. Mr.. Knox is
of opinion that the wagons which were going
down as he was coming up, also those which
he passed this side Of Snake River, coming
this way, will be able to make one more trip
before the close of the season. In all he
estimates 600 loaded wagons may be expected
this fall. Allowing two tons per wagon as
the average load, we have an aggregate of
1900 tons of freight likely to. arrive within the
next six weeks. At the time of his departure
there was about 500 tons stored at the termi-
nus, and this amount was increasing every
day, the freight arriving by rail faster than it
could be loaded on the teams and forwarded.
But the Diamond r no longer receives Mon
tana freights at its eastern office, SO the source
whence the amount arriving at the terminus
is drawn may soon become exhausted. Onei-
da is town of three or four hundred inhabi-
tants, principally such hangers-on as are to
be found in new and prosperous mining
towns. A hurdy house is in full operation,
and in all respects the society CT the place is
about what that of our Montana towns used
to be twelve years ago. The town is made
out of balloon frame, portable buildings,
which are rloved forward from one place to
another % the terminus comes nearer and
nearer to Montana.

LEWIS AND CLARKE LEGISLATIVE
TICKET.

The returns of the county are incomplete,
there being three precincts French Bar,
Virginia Greek and part of Silver-still to be
heard from. There is probably no doubt of
the election of Hotter and Gillette-both Re-
publicans-to the Council. Their majority
as far as learned is thought to be too large to
be overcome by the small Democratic ma
jorities yet to come in.
Of the candidates for Representatives the
election of Sanders and Steel, Republicans,
is certain. One of the three other Republi.
cans either Fergus, Stedman or Vawter-is
perhaps elected. OF the Democratic cendi-
dates, we concede the election of Hogan and
Stuart, and the probable election of either
Beach or Sweeney. These calculations would
give the Republicans five of the eight Legis-
lative members, which the full returns. we
think, will not change. The vote for each of
the several candidates as far as received will
be found tabulated by precincts and published
in this issue of the HERALD.

Roberts Statement.

The following is the written statement O.
Francois Joseph Robert, hung last week a
Virginia City for the murder of Harry ]
Norris:
II am about to appear before my God, tt
be judged by him, and, therefore, in thi'
awful moment, will relate nothing but th'
truth.
''1st. solemnly declare that, though
killed the man Morris, did so in self defense
''2d. That the only weapon used was re.
volver
''3d. That, when he was charging me with
his rifle, jumped aside and fired twice; and
when he fell forward on his face and hands,
l fired third and last shot,, which entered the
back of his head.
18th. did not touch the body after he
fell neither did I rob him of watch nor
money.
18th. If those witnesses had been present
whom I desired to- be summoned. by their
testimony could have proved how and when
l parted from him.
18th. The man killed was also of violent
character, proven by the fact that he had
been twice in prison in Eureka, Humboldt
county, California and had also fled from
justice in Wyoming Territory, having at
tempted to kill q man between Laramie and
Cheyenne.
"Lastly, the character I myself have
borne can be discovered by writing to the
Secretary of the Miners Union, Virginia
City, Nevada, and from the citizens of ANA
dor and San Francisco, California.
"Morris' real name was Bob Goudy.
When found the man was dead, left the
camp and wandered, hslf-crazed, up and
down the river (Big Horn). intending to give
myself up TO the authorities. Three days
afterwards I returned and buried the body,
and finally abandoned the camp, taking
nothing with me but an unloaded revolver.
l had the intention of putting an end to my
existence, but could not obtain any weapon.
When Lieut. Hamilton arrested me, was
content to be taken before the authorities,
knowing that my act was done in self-de-
fense. (Signed)

The Lost Found.

Carroll Smith, the young man mentioned
as lost last week, came in on the Butte stage
on Friday evening, safe and sound. After
leaving Mr. Paxson in the woods he took the
wrong direction for camp and wandered
away from it, and in struggling about in the
darkness fell into stream. He then built a
iie, and during the night was principally en-
gagged in drying his clothes. He could hear
the guns fired by his comrades, and fired his
in return, but the echoes 80 broke up and
confused the sound that he could not get the
direction. His comrades did not hear him
nor see his fire. Starting early the next morn
ing he proceeded in what he supposed was
the direction of camp and walked nearly all
day. Late in the afternoon he found him.
self where he had camped the night before.
Tired, weak, hungry, discouraged and con-
fused he lay down under tree and slept until
the next day. Again starting, he wandered
on and during the day killed ground squir-
rel. This he ate raw. He became thirsty
and coming to little stream stopped down
and drank. While taking this refreshing
draught it occurred to him that the water of
the stream probably flowed somewhere and
that by following down the stream he would
perhaps reach the most desired point. The
result was that IN seasonable time he reached
the Boulder and station on the Galen &
Black stage road The stage for Butte CON-
ing along soon after, he rode to Butte and
thence to Deer Lodge the next day. The re-
markable part of it is he had compass with
him but neglected to utilize it. The Messrs
Paxson, Evans. and Hawley returned on
Saturday evening. -Northwest.

The Great Geysers Of the National Park

A correspondent of the Pittsburg Dispatc1
has this season visited the National Park anc
describes some of the great wonders which
presented on every side to his astonished
view. He says: ''The Geysers send columns
of water from the size of flour barrel to tina,
of the largest dry goods packing cases, to a
height of from 100 to 300 feet in the air and
clouds of steam into the skies; but, as the
Irishman said of the rush of water over the
falls of Nigara, whats to hinder! In the
case of the Geysers steam is generated, per-
hsps, in the region the existence of which is
denied by Bob Ingersoll, and it must find its
way out. 1t creates or finds flssures leading
to the surface, but towards the top is met by
cold water, which presses it down. 1t then
becomes case of conflict between the steam
and water as to whether one shall hold the
other down, or the other force the one up.
First, the water fills the fissures and success
fully resists all efforts of the vapors to rise, for
time, but this compression of the steam re-
suits in gradually adding to its power, till
finally it bursts its. bonds, and water and
steam ascend together hundreds of feet with
a terrific roar, the eruption continuing from
five minutes to several hours, according to
the amount of steam and water on hand The
mud geysers were on similar plan, but they
mix with earth, while the great geysers take
up certain portions of silica, lime, magnesia,
sulphur and iron in solution. There are gey-
sers that work in the center of the great mud
puddles, sending up fluid about the color
and consistency of the dregs of cup of bad
coffee; others sling up little "dabs'' of pure
mud, such as bad boys know how to fling
from the end of stick thrust in a puddle,
while in many the steam and mud, without
drop of water splutter and puff like boiling
mush. These are only called 'geysers' by
courtesy. In fact, they are not geysers at all,
but only steam mud springs. Still all these
varieties add to the interest In one little val
ley, the water of which is tributary to Glib
bon's Fork of the Madison, there are puddles
of paints white, yellow, red, brown and
black, being mixed by steam, while but few
yards away are fathomless springs of sea-
green water, hot enough to boil mans leg
off in five minutes"

The Late Indian Outbreak In M1ssoula
County.


(From the MissOulian, 1stl
DR.. Henke, who visited Mrs. McCabe and
her daughter after the outrage that was per-
petrated on them, of which mention was
made last week, reports that the ladies suf-
fered considerably from lacerated and slightly
frozen feet from their long night flight from
the Indians, but that no sickness has resulted
A private letter from Agent Roman has
this to say of the affair: 'Having noticed in
the last issue of your paper an account of the
dastardly outrage perpetrated by Indians upon
Mrs McCabe and her daughter at their ranch
some thirteen miles below Frenchtown, and
fearing that the crime might have been CON-
mitted by Indians from this reservation, I
proceeded to Chief Michell's house and made
q statement to him of the facts. The chief
assured me that there are none of his people
encamped in the vicinity of Missoula except
two families, namely, that Of ''Camile and
" "Charloaine," both of whom are considered
among the very best Indians of the tribes,
neither of whom, or any member of their
families would be capable Of any such outrage
The lower Calispels, who live and roam from
the Columbia river up to Horse Plains and to
Frenchtown, and who are in no way under
restraint of the chiefs or agent of this reser-
vation, he think committed the crime, and he
has agreed to do all in his power to ferret out
the perpetrators and help to bring them to
justice If it should turn out that the Indians
belong here, you may rest assured will do
all in my power to secure them to Justice
