I'll But VERDANT.
An Elderly Emerald In search of Ills
Money.

An old man named Green arrived in
Cheyenne Sunday on his way to Sidney,
where he will begin a search for 500
which have gotten away from him. Green
is II section foreman somewhere ou on
the western division. The county clerk
at North Platte had the money loaned out
for him. just q week ago the clerk re-
ceived a letter purporting to come from
Green, at Sidney, instructing him to send
the money to Sidney. The clerk sent the
money to Sidney, and somehow it was
sent to Lodge Pole. In fact. it has been
travelling around 'promiscuous like, and
was in Sidney again at last account The
express agent at Sidney refused to deliver
it to the man who called it until the latter
was identified. Green's whereabouts
could not be readily ascertained, hence the
delay in informing him. He left last
night for Sidney. OF course he does not
know whether or not the rascal has OBJ
tanned the money. He thinks he knows
who the fellow is, as but few persons
knew that he had the money, or how and
where il was loaned.

A young man recently fell into finan-
cial di culties and was compelled TO
sell his household effects and find a
temporary refuge, with his family, at
his father house. After they had got
fairly settled in their new home, the
children went into the parlor TO play on
the piano. A FEW notes were struck.
and then all was silent. The good
grandmother peeped silently into the
room md found the children kneeling
around a great armchair, and the ED
est was praying in earnest tones. "Oh,

At a recent meeting of the New York
Chronological society, DR.. +. Parmly
Brown said: Il will venture the asser-
ton that the excessive use of common
salt Is one of the main factors IN the
destruction of human teeth to-day. /
am now engaged in collecting some
statistics on this point, from which !
hope in time to demonstrate, what seems
to me to be- the fact. that common salt eX-
cessively used is a great solvent Of the hu-
man teeth. II it will in urc the human
teeth through the chemistry of our
systems in som way or other that
will try to explain tonight, why might
il not also have the G ect Of preventing
a good development OF the teeth when
taken into the system in Q cess.
Il have lately procured some statistics
from the Sandwich islands, from n gen
tleman who has been there, covering o
period Of forty years, that are very sug
gestive and interesting. Within that pc
Rod the teeth of the Sandwich ISL
anders have decayed rapidly, and since
they have begun to decay it has been
noticed that the natives are in the habit
of biting oil great chunks of salt and
eating it with their food. According to
all accounts, the teeth of the sand
witch islanders were formerly the most
free from decay of any people on the
face of the earth, if remember rightly.
! on will find that Peep e who eat a great
deal Of salt and n great deal of sugar
are often entirely toothless. ] know
several instances of candy storekeepers
where three generations are entirely
toothless. People who eat an excessive
amount OF salt are tempted to eat large
quantities Of candy. pickles, and vine
gar. There seems to be a era ing for
those substances after the excessive use

FOUND DEAD.
The Body Of a Man Supposed to be a
soldier.

About . o'clock yesterday afternoon
some soldiers from Fort d. A. Russell,
while out about two and one-half miles
north of the post, found the body Of II
man on the plains which had evidently
lin there several months. The body was
bing on its face, and very far gone with
decay. One arm was exten led and the
other was gone, evidently carried OF by
coyotes. There were no means Of posi-.
bly, identifying the body by its appearance
alone. The soldiers who found it thought
1t was that of a citizen, but the adjutant
Of the post, judging from the shoes and
what was left of the clothing, believed it
to be that of a soldier, and thinks that
the man was lost last winter in a snow
storm while trying to find his way from
the city to the post at night. He will
take steps to find what soldier, if any,
was missed during the winter and credited
with desertion. Coroner Moore, of this
city, was sent for and went out to the
place last evening, The body was left
where it was found, and nm inquest will be
held Ia. day.

Stock Items.

A beef roundup is being made at the

the ~Stockade, and it is expected that
about a thousand head will be shipped.
An Indian Territory dispatch says the
removal of cattle from the CHEYENNE
and Arapahoe reservation is progressing
as rapidly as conditions will permit.
Several of the largest cattle owners have
removed their entire herds. Within
the last two weeks more than 5000
head of cattle have been driven Off the
reservation, which number added to
those already removed make a total of
over 100000. The estimated number
remaining is between 10000 and 5000
head. These, according to a later dis
patch will all have been moved by the
expiration Of the time allowed by the
presidents order.
