A City Of tho Dead.

! Two miles from Mandan, on the bluffs nral
the junction of the Heart and Missouri riv.
ers, is an old cemetery of fully one hundred
/ acres In extent, filed with homes of a gian,
race. This vast city of the deaf lies just eaS,
| of the Fort Lincoln road. We have just
spent half day in exploring this charnel
house of a dead nation. The ground has the
| appearance of having been filed with
trenches piled full of lead bodies, both of man
and beast, and covered with several feet OF
earth. In many places mounds from eight to
ten feet high and some of them hundred
feet or more in length have been thrown up
and are filed with homes, broken pottery,
| vases of various brigbt.colored fints aud
| agates. The pottery il of dark material,
beautifully decorated. delicate in finish, and
rs light as wood, showing the work of peo-
pie skilled in TIE arts and possessed of high
state of civilization. Here is grand field

his labors by exeavating and tunneling in
these catacombs Of the dead. This has evil

ton has been made, as only little holes two
or three feet in depth have been dug in some
of the mounds, but many parts of the anato-
my of man and beast, and beautiful speci-
mems of broken pottery and other curiosities
have been found in these feeble efforts at ex-
cavation. Who are they and from whence
did they come, dying and leaving only these
crumbling bones and broken fragments of
their works Of art to mark the resting place
of dead nation? Five miles above Mandan,
on the opposite side of the Missouri, Is all
other vast cemetery as yet unexplored. We
asked an aged Indian what his people knew
of these ancient graveyards. He answered:
"Me know nothing about them. They were
here before the red man."

The Boulon Entertain m ents.

The company of Paul Beulon arrived from
below last Friday in a somewhat wrecked
condition, the result of going over the grade
in He'll Gate canon. The members, however,
were "still in the ring" and entertainments
were gwen Friday and Saturday evenings to
large and appreciative audiences. The prin-
cipal part of the programme consisted of
musical selections on various instruments
or in full band, and the pieces were all finely
rendered. Paul Boulon on the eornet and
violin charmed his listeners and drew great
applause. Mrs Noonie Boulon is undoubt-
edly fine tuba player, while her perform
ances on the banjo,were very credtable. The
guitar solos of Mr.. Barnes were exquisite
and there was general regret expressed that
their number was so limited. The comedy
was passable-in a comedy entertainments
but was hardly suited to the superior charac-
ter of the audiences present. The Rotations
of Mr.. Gere were quite good, that of Sparta
Gus to the Roman Gladiators" especially so,
but in this latter piece the dress Of the orator
was so utterly inappropriate to the words
spoken that 10 made the whole affair ridicu-
Ions. The acting of the company was decid-
eddy bad, and Mr.. Boulon should eliminate
this feature of his entertainments, especially
as the musical part is so much superior.
A pleasing incident of Friday evenings
entertainment was the determination of the
Deer Lodge band with Boulon's, both bands
taking positions in front of 0'Neilps Hall
and alternately playing for an hour, thus
furnishing the citizens of Deer Lodge with a
free musical soiree which was greatly enjoyed.
The New NORTHWEST must also acknowl-
edge the compliment of two delightful little
serenades from Boulon's band.

Death OF james Il. Farnsworth.

Our community was startled on Sunday
morning last by the announcement OF the
sudden death Of James Il. Farnsworth He
was at the store Of f. l.. Bonner Co.
where he has been faithful and industrious
clerk for three years, on Friday evening last
and was not considered dangerously sick un'
I'll Saturday night. An autopsy was held on
Tuesday, and revealed the fact that the dis
ease was acute congestion Of the lungs. He
was member of Valley Lodge, No. g., X. OF
p and that Order performed the last, sad
rites of burial. The funeral exercises were
conducted by Rev. L. j. Groeneveld in the
Presbyterian church, Tuesday, the impressive
funeral service of the knights" was read Mt
the cemetery. The funeral cortege was very
large, and was preceded by the Deer Lodge
Cornet Band, of which the deceased had
been member.
We have lost one of our exemplary young
men, one who was highly esteemed by all
who knew him, and his genial face and kind
y pirit will be missed by young and old.

d water. Mrs. Walker was suffering from
rheumatism. hence was startled at no reply.
She turned toward him and gave cry OF
horror. The cause of his death, ut FIRST only

this to say about the management Of the
Union Pacific:
1t is learned indirectly that brief season

THE IRON HORSE AT HELENA.
The Arrival of the First Train There Last
Tuesday.

aH s. MuepeHueHt, lout.
AT fifteen minutes before eleven o'clock
yesterday morning the shrill shrek OF the
locomotive announced to those who under
stood the signal that the track of the North
ern Pacific had reached the Helena depot.
The importance of the event had attracted
a large number of our citizens to the depot
grounds to see the first train pull up to the
depot TrackIaying was continued until the
center of Last Chance gulch was reached,
and here a halt was called. This was about
the middle of the afternoon. From the time
the track reached the depot until evening,
the streets leading to the depot were full of
people going down to see the tracklaying
outfit and the first locomotive. Several Of
those who went down took with them flags
and ribbons to decorate the old black horse,
"Nig.," which has worked on the rail car
ever since the track passed Mandan. The
decorating ceremonies were Informal. When
the workmen were ready to move the car up
20 take off the two last rails, the flags were
placed ON the old horses harness and the rib
bons were wonnd about the headstall and
reins Of his bride, and also on portions Of
the harness. Old "Nig' didn't put on any
airs about it, however, but pulled the car for
ward as unostentatiously as though the adj
miring eyes of hundreds were not watching
his movements. After the last rail was spiked
down "Nig" was brought into town and at
tracted much attention Oh the streets.
Before proceeding with the tracklaying
toward MuIlan tunnel, the tracklaying outfit
win finish the sidefracks al the depot This
will probably take two days. IL Is understood
that trans viii commence running to Helena
the first OF next week. 1t win be some weeks
probably before the road win be turned over
TO the operating department. and until that
time only mixed train will be run, the same
~ now comes TO Bedford.
