"walking Cases ofYsllow Fever.
A New Orleans physician. in = pri-

fever districts. 4 walking case is \
patient who refuses tn GO To bed and
keep his feet until he drops dead.
Sometimes he refuses to admit he has
yellow fever: sometimes he realizes
that he has the dread disease and DIES
pairs Of recovery from the start.
Sometimes the walking case mani
fes,s the most abject tear. and again
he displays the courage and Indifference
ola spy led out to execution. Some
times the walking Is confined to the
patients chamber. and then again he
rosms the streets, with the seal OF
death on his brow the dreadful black

BLACK HILLS RAILROAD.
Chicago Inter.O Ocean.


j. H. s. Coleman, one of the late owners
of the we'll known Father De Smet. Co..
den Gate, and Belcher mines, in the Black
Hills, Is in the city, and was met BY q re.
porter yesterday, to whom he communicated
some facts in regard to the proposed rail.
road to the Hills. The gentleman was
identified with the narrow guage roads built
in Utah, particularly the Utah Southern. and
is well qualified to estimate the cost of con-
structioD, amount ofstock necessary, extent
of grading, etc, involved in the building of
such roads as the one projected. The ques.
ton has been: Which is the more feasible
route 10 the Hills-from Cheyenne or Bis.
marck? Mr.. Coleman has travelled over
both these routes, and p%ronounces emphat-
ically in favor of the Bismarck line. He
says that a road from Cheyenne would have
TO cross ranges of hills and streams, entail
ing an immense outlay for bridges, c~ulverts
and grading. On the other hand, a road from
Bismarck would lie along a valley like the
Union Pacific or the Platte River, requiring
little grading. The country through which
it would pass is q plains district, less sterile
than the southern plains and not so arid as
those farther north. The distance is about
200 miles, and the road would enter the
Hills at Crook City. below Deadwood. 1t
SSo' " y .VOU,OUU, duu IL Dtkuu
next May might be put 10 operation by Au.
gust. II would employ about seven engines,
and the cars would carry about seven tons
each. Such a road would tend to open all
the country to the northwest, toward which
emigration is now tending, and would also
be q gEcat advantage to the Northern Pa
cific road by developing the country which
will eventually be it's feeder.
1t is thought, too, that the pushing for.
ward Of The new road will hasten the e1,
tension Of the former road into Montana.
The advantages of the Bismarck route
would be great to Chicago, as all the sup
plies for The country it would penetrate
must come from This point The route
would be from Deadwood to Brainard,
thence to st. Paul and to Chicago. 1t is
scarcely necessary to say that a number of
Chicago capitalists are looking the ground
over, and considering the feasibility of the
enterprise as q n investment, and consider
the plan favorably.

cept such bar-tenders VS. are not strictly
honest towards their employers. For those
benighted persons who don't know what
manner Of thing 1 am writing about, l will
say that it is . little movable metallic box:
about three inches wide and as MANY deem.
and about six inches long, and is Of the
genus b%ell-punch. Every man who sells
lliquor-fve gallons or less-is required to
keep one, and to register BY it the number
OF drinks or gallons Of liquor which he sells,
and to pay to the state a certain tax on
such sales, the tax being l cent for every
drink of malt liquor and p cents for all
other liquors, l believe the liquorseller
being thus made to collect the tax for the
state from the consumer. l need not say
that the curiosity to see chow the thing
works" keeps the machine in pretty con-
slant operation, to the manifest delight Of
all people who are dependent upon the state
treasury for their daily support, and also Of
the bond-holders, for the payment of inter
est on their bonds is dependent to an alarm
ing as we'll as to an absurd extent on the
success of this experiment. No one watches
it with SO deep interest as those V~irginians
who have viewed with alarm and shame
the growth of a reputation party among
them.
Inc Iecelpts from this benetcent tax are
v%sriously estimated at from 100000 to
100000 a year. So much for the bond
holders.
And now a word to the New York liquor
sellers. One of the shrewdest and most
successful liquor-sellers here, the p%roprie-
tors of several bars, tells me that he has
become satisfied that the punch is the very
thing for the liquor-seller. 1t benefits him
in many WAYS:
|. 1t is a check upon his bartender. Just
as it is on the c~ar-conductor.
9. 1t enables him to raise the price of
every drink of whisky and apple jack 5
cents, OF which sum he pays only one-half
to the state.
8. It puts an end to the credit sxstem.
4. By buying tax-receivable coupons at
81 cents on the dollar and paying them into
er pay him 50 per cent. for collecting his
coupons.

The Inter. Ocean Washington correspon-
dent goes through the Banning bill after the
following style:
A study of Banning's bill to reorganize the
army discloses a very we'll developed case
of cloyen foot. In the first place he reduces
its force from $4,000 to 10000 men, a step
apparently economical, but in reality ex-
travag ant, on account ofincreased expendi-
ture for transportation, involved in moving
a weak force over our large territory. Next
it breaks down the skeleton of organization
which it has always been deemed expedient
to maintain, so that the army can be speed.
" enlisted up to larger dimensions in case
Of necessity. Finally it provides for the
dismissal of about one-quarter of the officers
now on the rolls. Section Al of the bill pre-
vides that if congress shall at any time,refuse
to make the necessary appropriations for its
support this refusal orneglect shall be DEEM
ed equivalent to an express act for the aoo-
lition Of the military establishment, and the
army shall be forthwith dismissed. That rs to
say, if this section should become the law a
dispute over the army Appropriation such as
happened at the close of the last session,
would peremptorily dismiss every officer
and man, from the general of the army
down, to private life, leaving the next con-
gress 70 create it anew, and out of such ma
,erialasiit chose. The last Section of the
bill is also very suggestive. 1t 1epeals spe-
together with all others inconsistent with
this bill. One of these sections to be repea-
led, declares that 'no personswho has served
in any capacity in the military, naval, or
civil service ofthe so-called confederate states
or of eth ar Of the afafea in ineuvrect; m

RAILROAD TO THE HILLS.
Sidney Telegraph.

Sidney Telegraph.
A report reaches US from q source which
we deem perfectly reliable to the effect that
General James A. Evans, the engineer who
conducted the surveys of the Black Hills
railway lines, has reported in favor of Sid
ney as against Cheyenne, alleging that Sid
ney is the nearest point for business to and
from the mines, affords the shortest and
most feasible route from the Union Pacific,
and saves the distance between Sidney and
Cheyenne on ninetenths of the Black Hills
traffic. The report is said to be positive in
its terms and unequivocal in it. recommen.

Tariff tinkerers have this to console them

ceipts in January fell off over 81, 0CO, 900,
and if the decrease continues 60 rapid for
the remainder of the current month as it
has during the first four days, the falling
off will amount to over s1,2o0,ooo in Feb.

that it will cause even his enemies to smile
