WILD BILLS REMAINS.
HIS REMAINS ExHUMED AT DEADwooD
AND FOUND TO BE PETRIFIED.

The Black Hills Times gives an
account Of the exhuming of the re-
mains of Wild Bill, the celebrated
border desperate, on Sunday, the
third instant, to be transferred to
Mount Moriah cemetery. 1t will be
remembered by our readers that
Wild Bill was killed by Joe Mccall
at Deadwood in 1876, Mccall being
hanged for the murder afterwards.
The Times says it gets Information
from Louis Schaenfeld, an old time
friend of Bills, and 10 whose memo
ry Bills many endearing qualities
are still bright and green. Colorado
Charley, partner Of Bills at the
time of his death, has purchased
lot in the new cemetery, and at his
own expense procured a fitting mon
ument of Italian marble that is now
daily expected, which will be raised
over his new resting place as soon as
II arrives. At four o'clock this NOR
ming the body was uncovered, and at
nine o'clock it was taken out of the
grave. The body at the interment
weighed about $50 pounds, but on
it's removal it weighed not less than
800. There was no odor and no per.
ceptible decay, and it is supposed by
those who examined it that petrifac-
ton had taken place, as it was as
hard as wood, and returned. the same
sound as a log when struck BY a
stick. Everything in the coffin was
found just as it was placed there and
the rumor that the grave had been
rided was all bosh. The only arti-
Gle buried with the body was a car
bine, and that is in as good a state
of preservation as ever. There were
no knife and revolvers buried with
him as reported, and those who
should know say that he never owned
a pistol in the hills. His hair was
as glossy and silky as when in life,
and a lock Of it now is in the posses
sion Of William Learned, musical
director of the Gem theater. His
moustache was hard, and seemed,
like his body, to have been petrifed.

WHAT DON PIATT KNOWS OF THAT
VERY INTERESTING CREA.
+E..s. -a''' TURE. % - .t.

Poor Mrs. Sprague has to suffer
not only from Conkling's unpopular
ity, but from her husbands drunken
insanity. We know, in knowing her,
that she is as innocent of the wrong
imputed as her youngest child. To
appreciate this We have to know or
remember that, inheriting much Of
her honorcd fathers intellect and
force of character, she. grew TO wo
manhood without a mothers care
and with the training given a man.
The result is, that while as pure a
woman as God ever created, she looks
at the social world from a mans
standpoint. When mere girl Of
sixteen her soul revolled at the un-
just and illiheral discrimination made
against her SEX She found Dick
Nevins, the handsome, dashing man
of the world, in a small, fat State
capital, where the only amusements
are visits to the penitentiary and
asylums for the insane, deaf and
blind. She found Dick, we say. a
pleasant gentleman to know init
mately, and when the small. sonled,
copper.b ottomed, gilt-edged aristoc-
racy Of the place forbid the intima
cy, Kate deied the prohibition. She
was incontinently run over by drove
of social bulls and heiiers, and would
have been plastered in the mud, past
finding, but for her own pluck and
her fathers high position. Victory
made her bold, defiant and impru-
Fdent, and the poor little woman tries
the same fight, now that her great
father is dead, her fortune gone, her
social position no longer secure, and
her spirit broken by misfortune
She found the society Of Senator
Conkling pleasant, and she asked nc
mans, and exc, no woman's consent
to the same. 1t was the most open
and defiant social transaction ever
sneered at by the thin lips and false
teeth of this hydra.headed social
world. 'Bald.headed, round -bellied,
slender.legged Senators, who can be
carded out by strumpets, nodded and
blinked at each other. like, owls in q

Symptoms Of a Diseased Liver.

DAM in the right side, under the
l edge of the ribs, increases on pres
sure; sometimes the pain is in the left
side; the patient is rarely able to lie
on the left side; sometimes the pain is
felt under the shoulder blade, and it
frequently extends to the top of the
shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken
for rheumatism in the arm. The
stomach is affected with loss Of appe-
lite and sickness; the bowels in gen.
eral are costive, sometimes alternative
with lax; the head is troubled with
pain, accompanied with dull, heavy
sensation in the back part. There is
generally considerable loss of mem
Dry, accompanied with a painful SEN
sation Of having left undone some.
thing which ought to have been done.
A slight, dry cough is sometimes an
attendant. The patient complains of
WEAKNESS and debility; he is easily
startled, his feet are cold or burning,
and he complains of a prickly sensa-
ton of the skin; his spirits are low;
and although he is satisfied that exer.
else would be beneficial to him, yet
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts
every remedy. Several of the above
symptoms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred where few Of them ex-
listed, yet examination of the body,
after death, has shown the LIVER to
have been extensively deranged.
AGUE AND FEVER.
DR.. c. McLANE's LIVER Pills, IN
CASES OF AcUE AND FEVER, when
taken with Quinine, are productive of
the most happy results. No better
cathartic can be used, preparatory to,
or after taking Quinine. We would
advise all who are afflicted with this
disease to give them a FAIR TRIAL.
For all bilious arrangements, and as
simple purgative, they are unequaled.
BEWARE OF LIMITATIONS.
