What has become of the Grecnback
Dollar Of Hayncsyillr' is aquestion asked
by some Of our exchanges. and they very
probably will expect MS To answer. But
we are unable tn do 81. We simply know
that il once was and now is not. Ii MIR.
Warren has a printing office to sell he
should advertise, and We know Of no more
effective means than through the columns
of the Guardian. If his paper is dead he
should let us know-it certainly deserves
an obituary notice. As TO the party for
which the Greenback Dollar labored 50
earnestly for Several months, il has fallen
Of its own weight, and the leaders are
feeling for some other thin song TO sing to
the laboring, toiling millions Of the land
for whom they pretended TO have 50 much
sympathy. Just rs We told Col. Allen
Greene through the Guardian, when these
political bummers failed to get into posi-
ton by the Greenbaek vote they wonld

A Big Party of Indians in the Black HIS
Visit to the Scene of the Ute Massacre
of Last Fall.
DEADwooD, July 17.-Reports were brought
to this city this morning that 500 Indians
appeared near Spearfsh last night, and had
a dance. They had been engaged in killing
cattle. Spearfsh is fifteen miles northwest
of this city. Several parties have organized
and started out.
CHEYENNE, July 17.-G. T. Dresser, g
friend of the late M. G. Meeker, agent of
the Utes. has just returned from the scene
of the September massacre at White river.
He reinterred the remains of Meeker and
eight employees, including his two sons.
which had been hastily buried by Merritt's
command. Dresser found chain about
four feet long around the neck of Meeker's
remains, proving the story true that the
Utes had dragged the body about the agency
after the massacre. The remains were much
decomposed. Colorow, with other head
men and Douglas daughter, came into the
agency last week to trade. On inquiring
persistently he said they lived on ponies last
winter and were very hungry and peaceful
now. Colorow satd he and other chiefs were
going Immediately to the Uncompahgr agen-
cy to have his talk with the Ute commits
sioners. He knew not the whereabouts of
Persune and Johnson.

Market.
Especial Telegram to the Globe.
CHICAGO, July 17.-Cabies to-day strong and
opened at 80 cents for August wheat. How
ever, the weather here being just everything
that could be wished for, our local talent
madc an attempt to sell a little for q feeler
and we receded to S915c, but
the sympathy for raid could not be
got up. In fact there was very little enthusi-
asm shown by either side to-day and the market
slowly sold up again to 80. The situation is
very clear Just now. On the one hand very
small stocks across the pond combined with
occasional rains on the other hand weather
with us perfect and deliveries of winter wheat
pretty free. Now just balance the arguments
against each other and the man who pays his
money takes his choice. Our boys don't be-
lieve in paying their money and being totally
mixed up. The trade was of very little vol
ume, and outsiders assisted in doing nothing.
Look for quiet market just as long as the
guments on both sides are SO
evenly balanced, but some day
or other one scale will be heavier
than the other and mighty quick, in fact, be-
fore you can say Jack Robinson the price will
respond willingly, although we are not liable
to have any lame ducks, the market being
very even.
Corn-Strong and good demand for shipment.
1t is undoubtedly good property, and some fine
day we shall see bulge.
Provisions-Quiet and firm, with little do
ing. The public generally did not seem in
clined to take it off the hands of the boss, and
he evidently did not care for any lively change
Just now. His brokers were as lost as the man
who could not find the itching spot on his back,
and had to give up to get scratch.

Cansus Reiurns.

Gen. Andrews and his assistants are stiI
struggling with the census returns. Yester-
day they finished up the population of sew
eral cities in this district, the more impor-
tant of which are as follows:
Saltwater, total population 9,059. Almost
remarkable fact connected with the popula-
ton of this city is the almost equal division
of its inhabitants into wards. There are
three wards in the city, and the census of
each is as follows: First ward, 3,033; Sec
ond ward, SOIL; Third ward, 3,015. This
is about as equal distribution as could be
made, and gives each ward an equal voice in
determining city affairs.
The population of other cities are SIS fol-
lows: Duluth, 3,487; st. Cloud, 2,464; An
Okla, 2,7o6; Fergus Falls, 1864; Crookston,

The Mystery Soloed.
| From New York Paper. I


A gaunt individual in rusty suit and no.
ticeabls for long hair, dropped around yes
terday. He did not seem to be affected by
the heat: but stated that he wished to give
an explanation of the reason why DR.. Tan
ner had succeeded so admirably in living
without food and drink, thereby proving the
medical fraternity liars and Ignorant of the
requirements of the human system.
81 noticed little article in your paper OF
this morning in reference to the resemblance
of Russell Sage to DR.. Tanner" he began.
"You evidently take considerable interest in
his experiment and [ called in to put you on
the right track. Russell Sage can never
hone to emulate DR.. Tanner in his pro-
longed fast unless he gives up
Hepworth and joins our faith.
[ refer to that of tho Spiritualists
Perhaps you are not aware of the fact; but 1T
is, nevertheless, true that Dr. Tanner is a
Spiritualist and is now living through the
help extended to him by one of the most
noted mediums of the age-I refer to George
Francis Train. The latter gentleman, by a
rigid course of diet, has attained to perfec-
ton as a medium. His body has been Sim
mered down by the exercise of an iron will
and the observance of severe rales of conti-
nence, SO that his frame and soul are almost
Identical In fact, he is afraid to shake
hands with anybody lest the frail tissue that
separates the material from the ETHEREAL
should melt away, and he become incapable
of further communication with the human
race.
CHOW Train made up his mind as soon as
DR.. Tanner began his fast to exert himself
to make the trial success. He placed him.
self en- rapport with DIR. Tanner and pro-
ceeded to assist him. The food which one
person could absorb in his stomach would
manifestly not be sufficient to support two
people, unless of extraordinary virtue. So
he cast about until he pitched upon diet
that he considered adequate for the emer-
gency. He decided upon Welsh rarebit,
made out of Limburger cheese. Train eats
several of these rarebits day, and while sit
ting in Madison Square park, eyolutes their
virtue to DR.. Tanner.
''What does he give him for dessert p
"Well, I don't know as you can exactly
call it DESSERT" responded the Spiritualist,
''but he occasionally varies the diet with
Boston baked pork and beans and peanuts.
You know that the former are conducive OF
intellectually. In the reports of DE-. Fan.
ner's you will frequently notice that he
raises wind from his stomach. This occurs
only when George Francis Train is eating
beans and peanuts"
Suppose that Train should get tired of
the thing and withdraw his aid ?"
"Well, then 1 suppose old Tanner would
peter"
