Early Glimp,es Of Fremont.

John c. Fremont" said pedestrian on
Broadway in New York the other day
1T was soon after his nomination as the
first candidate of the Republican party
in 1856. An immense aud enthusiastic
crowd, wearing wideawake capes aud
bearing torches, gathered in front of the
houss in which he was staying, and
which, unless l am mistaken, was in
Twelfth street, Just west of Fifth avenue.
Fremont and Jessie appeared on the bal
conv, and when we caught sight of the
romantic couple in the light of the fam
ing torches, they seemed to be the ideal
specimens of manly vigor and womanly
grace. We rent the air wi tn our plaudits,
and our salutations were returned by the
twain, who looked supremacy happy.
Wherever Fremont went he was the hero
without parallel at that time, but now
he walks through the crowded streets,
wholly unknown to the surging multi
tudes.o

the opinion prevailed that cigars could be
sold only by employing travelling men. Mr..
Tansill thought differently. He thought that
an honest article, at a fair margin of profit,

be sold direct to the retailer, thus saving to
the dealer the large item of expense repre-
sented by the high-priced traveling-man.
The plan worked from the start. Dealer and

extent that, even at the small profit he re

as one of the solid men of Chicago. Hehas

a Now York Drummer Enjoys a Peculiar
Indian Soup.

Indian Soup.
OF all story teilarS the knight OF the
grlp-sack and sample case has the reputa
tion of being the greatest says the New
York Telegram. With this knowledge, a
party of gentle who were seated
around table in an uptown cafe the
other evening, enjoying cigars and coffee,
called upon one OF their number, a COM
mercial drummer, to relate some of his
personal experiences. After some demurs
the man of many travels spoke as fol.
lows:
Considering the fact that we have just
enjoyed good dinner, let me tell you of
one which | had under circumstances not
so favorable as the present. 1t was some
years ago, and I was out in the North
west not on business, but for pleasure,
with a merry party Of tourists. We, of
course, had guides and hunters with us,
and on them depended for our food, for
we were hundreds of miles from any
human habitation as far as we knew.
One day a friend and myself started
out on private hunting expedition. AS
we did not intend to go far we took little
ammunition and no guide We were I'M
successful, and decided TO return, as we
were getting decidedly hungry. 1t was
easy enough to decide to go back, but the
right direction was another question. To
make matters worse, it commenc ed to
snow, and after some time there was only
one conclusion for us to arrive at-we
We're lost, and night was fast coming on.
Suddenly form doomed up through the
fast-falling flakes and, to our dismay,
Big, healthy specimen of tho original
owners of this country confronted us. In
fact, we had met our first Indian, but we
were in no condition to appreciate the
honor. Remembering, however, that the
Indians in the Yellowstone region at that
time were not hostile, we put a bold face
on the matter-.t was the only thing to do
and told him as we'll as we could our
condition. His copper colored highness
only said one word, Gomez and we ac-
cordingly went. After about an hours
tramp we struck small Indian
village, but what was better,
also saw signs of something to
eat. A large kettle full of something like
soup was set before us, and to its savory
contents we did full justics. Aud when
we had digested our hearty meal our
Indian friend kindly showed US the way
back TO our camp, which was but short
distance from his village. When we ar
rived at the camp we found our friends
somewhat anxious about us and just sit
ting out on a search. A few tEinkets am
ply paid our guide for his trouble and
supper, and then, from motives of not
unnatural curiosity, our own guide asked
him what he ha d given US for supper.
"3Gocd dog; dog much good; make
good fesd,' was the reply.
"a fact, gentleman. We had eaten dog
soup and actually relished it, thinking it
was,venison, but the reaction was too much
and in q half an hour we had another
meal; for when we found out what we had
eaten that dog refused to stay. But the

QUiNlNE AND OPIUM
rhe yalue of Cinchona Bark as an Opium
Anfidnte.


Y Mi. John Ferguson, well-known
resident of Ceyion and newspaper
proprietor, has addressed letter to
the secretary of the Anti-Opium So
ciety on the value of sulphate of
quinine, or even the inferior alkaloids
from Gin chona bark, as prophylactics
and tonics, especially in low-lying and
malarial districts, where people are
addicted to the use of opium in order
TO relieve the fever depres sion. The
prevalence of the opium-craving i'll
many parts of the world is due, says
Mr. Ferguson, to the people being SUBJ
ject to low type Of fever. This is
largely the case in China. In En-
gland it has been shown that the con.
sumption of opium, chiefly in
the form of laudanum, is very
large in the fen districts and
along the lower banks of the
Thames, especially about Gravesend.
A Lincolnshire village druggist stated
some years ago, in a letter published
IN the newspapers, that he sold about
two gallons of laudanum per month
retail, besides sixteen or twenty
ounces of opium itself mostly to
women of the poorer classes. who
must pinch themselves seriously in
many ways to purchase the luxury.
Many. he said. consume an ounce OF
opium a week. some considerably
more. The main cause of this cray
ing, according to Mr.. Ferguson, is
that the people live in low and mala-
rial localities, and he suggests that
quinine removes the craving and acts
as substitute for laudanum. He
quotes from Mr.. Colquhoun's travels
in China to show that the Chinese.
even in remote inland districts along
the Canton river, know the eff cacy of
quinine in superseding the need for
opium, and possibly in curing the
taste ard desire for it.
A few years ago the prices of quinine
and the cinchona alkaloids were pro-
hibitory 10 poor people; but the Gull
tivation of the plant in India. Ceylon
and Java has reduced the price of the
best sulphate of quinine from los. 15s.
and even 18s. an ounce to half crown.
and even to less. In 1872. II, 457
pounds of cinchona bark was exported
from Ceylon; now the export is from
Is, 0o0 600 to $4,000 900 pounds. But
although the wholesale price of quinine
is SO enormously reduced the retail
prices are frequently still calculated |
on the rate from time immemorial of |
e. for an ounce, which is purchased |
at less than 3s. -Londoa Times

A City Beneath the Sea,

A city at the bottom of the sea was
seen toward the end of October near
Treptow, in Prussia, when powerful
south wind blew the waters of the Baltic
away from the shore, uncovering a por-
ton of ground usually hidden from sight
by the waves. Il was the ruins of the
city Of Regamuende, once fourishing
commercial station, which was swallowed
by the sea some five centuries ago. The
unusual spectacle was not enjoyed but for
few hours, when the storm slackened
and the waves returned to cover up the
place which had once been the residence
and field of labor of busy men.

The fact that the sale of DIR. Pierce's
Pleasant Purgative Pellets exceeds that of
any other pill in the market, be it great or
small is on account of the fact that they are

a Record of Business Progress Wh!rb
Is Seldom Duplicated.


The Fair will open with a flourish at l
O'Clock this afternoon in the new stand,
K. of P. block, 30 West Seventeenth
street.
The Fair was first opened in this city
on Eddy street by Clary 4 CollameI last
August. The idea of the business was
new to the town and at once attracted a
big trade. The business was governed by
two objects: First to carry a line of
practical goods such as every housekeeper
constantly needed and secondly to furnish
every article at a price so close to cost
that buyers could do no better this side Of
Chicago.
In the few months that the business
has been established it has grown wonder
fully. The quarters on Eddy street long
ago proved inadequate, but a store room
exactly suited to the business, centrally
located and sufficiently commodious, was
difficult to secure. The quarters lately
occupied by the Wyoming Furni-
ture Company were finally hit
upon These consist of an
immense well lighted basement where the
goods can be unpacked and stored away if
necessary, a store room of 100 feet in
length, and a second floor, which is easily
reached, for the display of certain classes
of goods. All the rooms have been re-
modelled and repainted and substantial
shelving placed in them. 1t was at first
thought that the opening would be post
poned for a few days pending the arrival
of an immense lot of goods which are
tied up on the road, but it was finally de-
cided to open this afternoon with the big
additions which have recently been made
to the stock.
The new Fair is already a very attract
i've place, and the extent and variety of
goods kept tin stock are something won
derful to behold. The place is well worth
a visit. Every visitor will be given a very
beautiful souvenir Of the occasion.

had sold defendant. Believed the de-
PENDANT left the OW ranch for Cheyenne
with 5000 and four or five head of horses
in his possession. Witness was not GER
tain as to amount of money or number of
horses.
A Number of dispositions taken at Great
Falls, Mont, were offered by the defense.
Counsel stated that they attested to the
good character of Patterson while there,
prior to the arrest by Smalley. The ter
ritory objected on the ground of i~rrele-
vancy and incompetency, holding that
evidence as to the prisoners reputation
about the time the crime was committed
was alone admissible in this connection.
The court was consulting an authority
when the objection Of the prosecution
was withdrawn.
Frank Geary had known Jas. Wilbur
from about the time of the %latter's mar
rage, July, 1886. The prisoner reputa-
ton for peace and good order was ex-
cellent.
Chas. Wagner, a Great Falls lumber
merchant, knew Patterson from the time
of his arrival in Great Falls. Wilbur
was known to him as a sober, industrious
man.
Mrs. Wilbur testified. She is the wife
of defendant. Was married to prisoner
in Great Falls, Mont, June 80. 1886.
Her husband was a stone mason. Patter-
son was arrested by Smalley about a year
after her marriage. She knew defendant
only by the name of Wilbur.
DR.. Quinby has been practicing medi-
cine for twenty-eight years. Witness be-
lieved by the application of certain ac-
cepted rules the age of a deceased person
could be ascertained by an examination of
the bones. In his opinion the skeleton
exhibited in court was that of a man from
35 to 40 years of age, perhaps older. His
opinion was based on the theories of &C,
cepted authorities on the subject. Again,
deceased might have been between 25
and 80 years of age. DIR. Quinby was
subjected to avery lengthy and somewhat
tedious cross examination. The audience
was treated to an excellent anatomical
lecture.

AN EXQUISITE CONCERT.
The Divide Muslin Company CaptIvate an
Opera House Audience.

Without exception the most delicious
musical entertainment ever givenin Chey-
enne was given last evening by the Divide
Musin Concert company. As a simple
concert 1t was a revelation, not simply to
music lovers alone but to those who do
not possess the musical faculty.
A p~alonaise from Chopin, rendered on
the piano by Senior Sobrino, was a mas
terly piece of Instrumentation, rendered
with marvellous technique and exquisite
feeling.
The appearance of Miss Anna May
Kessler, the soprano of the company,
was greeted with applause. She rendered
a solo, Dreaming" in a rich and highly
cultivated voice. The encore which she
received was vociferous.
The moment Mons. Divide Musin
touched the bow to his violin everybody
recognized the master hand of a true ar.
fist. His selection was the Souvenir de
Haydn" His performance was an inspi-
ration of melody. Anything more ex-
quisitely sweet or more beautifully
rounded has never been heard within the
walls of the opera house.
A tenor solo by Mr.. Geo. W. Horne was
received with delight.
Ten numbers were altogether rendered.
The whole performance was as pretty as a
poem and it is to be hoped hat Cheyenne
people will soon again have the pleasure
of listening. Such concerts do not sim.
ply afford enjoyment, but they educate as
well.
