A stnr Representative Accompanies
The Dakota Press Association
on their Yellowstone Park
Excursion.

Hor SrR1Sas, DAK.. Sept. q, 1855.
EDIroR SrAR:-As we were the only
member of the Dakota Press Associ-
alton from the Black Hills who had the
pleasure of accompanying the excur.
sion party on their fourth annual Junk
citing expedition and participating in
the deliberations of that body at their
several business meetings. perhaps a
brief communication regarding the va
rious points of interest visited and the
doings of the Association will be Of in
terest to your readers and the "press
gang in this portion of the territory.
We left Buffalo Gap on the evening
of the 29th ult., little out of the ordi-
nary routine occurring during the first
few days travelling. The passengers
on hoard the train between here and
Missouri Valley were very enjoyably
entertained by the singing of a troup
of Wizard Oil fakirs who were accom-
plished singers despite their despicable
pursuit. The weary travellers were also
highly amused by the ear-splitting and
discordant war songs of a band Of In
dian police who entertained the passen-
gers alternately with the aforesaid fa-
kris.
The country along the line of the r.
E. & NJ. v. east Of Long Pine is rapidly
settling up with an industrious and
well-to-do class of farmers and the nu.
merous stacks of golden grain and ex-
tensive fields of corn betoken thorough
cultivation and a most favorable season.
Corn in this part of the state, though
not all ripe, is mostly out of the way
Of frost and a good crop. The beauti.
full Elkhorn Valley presents most in
viting appearance. Its numerous
groves which dot the landscape, its flocks
and herds and substantial farm build
lngs called forth many expressions Of
admiration. 1t is, indeed, an ideal az.
ricultural country, and it may be said
that the f. E. & NJ. V. railway has been
the most potent factor in settling up
and bringing this land within the reach
OF the ll0meseeker.
\ marked Improvement in the an.
pearance of the farms and villages is
apparent all along the line. and mucl,
new land has been put under cultiva.
tion dnring the past year. Norfolk,
West Point. Blair and Missouri Valley
are enjoying rapid and substantial
growth and arc fast assuming metropoli.
tan airs and proportions. Missouri
Valley was reached on the evening of
the 29th, and after enjoying the l,ospi-
tally of Landlord Cheney. the portly
proprietor of the Cheney House, far a
few hours, the journev northward was
continued as for as Alton where we re.
manned until the morning Of the fol.
lowing day.

MIN-NE.KAH.TA.-
by FREDERICK srEAnss.

Over Thousand miles westward-.due

great American desert, but now the
endless prairie levels of Iowa, and Ne
braska-there lies the Black Hills re-
gion, lifting hts many peaks and val
leys into a cooling and bracing air.
This is Dakota. And here In the Ian
Of its southern rounded hills is the Min.
ne-kah-ta of the red man. a place of
healing waters, touched by the finger
of the Great Spirit, for the healing of
the nations. And made to we'll out
from under great sandstone bluffs. som.
ber and red--in canyons deep and dark.
Here in little valley creeping up
and away from the clear and noisv
Falling Water River are the warm
springs, Wi-wi-la-kah-ta.
Here dwelt from time unknown the
fierce and warlike La-ko-tahs, guard.
ing these hills as their birthr;ght and
treasure place, as we'll as their great
medicine, Wi-wi-la-kah-ta.
To-day the healing waters fill and
overflow from the sand basin, which
was scooped from the red sandstone by
the indians ages ago, a cavity, foot
shaped. with the exit at the toe.
Tradition has it that long ago a pes.

tinguish the red races of America: that
at its height message came from the
far northwest telling of a great medi-
cine-of a wonder water-that had
been touched by the Great Spirit and
whose would lave in it should be healed.
With the eagerness Of dispair Indians
from all regions rallying upon this hope
sought these Black Hills, and dipping
themselves in the baimy waters Of Min.

Rcd Hair and White Horses.

The popular Jest about the necessary
contiguity of red-headed girls and white
horses is by no means modern, though
in it's recent revival it has swept over
the country as a novelty. Some of lis
remember that our grandfathers used
jocularly to assert it to the wondering
ears Of youth as well-attested fact. In
oil likelihood the saying took its origin in
the old English game called sometimes
the game of the road, but more often
ups and DOWNS" which is still q favor.

men in Great Britain. One party takes
tho "up" side Of the street or road, the
other tho down." counting one for
every ordinary object and five for y
white horse "a piebald counting as
wllite) until a certain number agreed
upon carries off the victory, but red
headed woman or q donkey wins the
game at once.
Another explanation refers the phase
to a North of Ireland superstition that
the sight of red-headed girl brings ILL.,
luck to the beholder unless he retrace
his steps to the starting point; but if he
meets white horse ut any stage on his
backward progress the spell is ipso
tact0 avefted. In the midland counties
of England, on the other hand, it is ILL.,
luck to meet q white horse without spit
ting at it. In Wexford an odd cure for
whooping-cough, is suggested by cur
rent superstition. Tho patient trudges
along the road until he meets q piebald
horse, and shouts out to the rider |:
Hello, man on the piebald' horse,
what is good for the whooping-cough?"
and no matter how absurd the remedy
suggested he will certainly be cured.
In Scotland to dream of o white horse
fortells the coming Of letter.

The steady decline in the oil market
leads the Blizzard to remark that tho as.
sursnces given, that there is not the slight
est weakening of the producers associa-
ton, are all right enough, so far az they

Says the williamsport Gazette and Bull
letin: "That mortgage for one hundred
million of dollars, which has just been
filed in the Office of the register and re-
corder of Lyconing county by the Read
ing railroad company, is a ponderous doc
ument. 1t contains 100000 words, and IL
is estimated that it will take one man
about three months TO record it. This is
the largest instrument ever filed in the
office of this county for record"
Harry G. King, who shot, and instantly
killed j. Fl. Bowman, of Venango county,
on the street in Douglass, Wyoming Ter
ritory, November /, 1887, had his trial at

fed that Bowman was about to draw his

Harry English, so we'll known in this
county few years ago, is again in durance

seems that when he was sentenced to the
penitentiary for forgery from this county,
there was check of o. d. Coleman, OF
this place, which it is claimed he forged
that was not included in the indictment,
and English gave bail for his appearance
in court and the payment of the costs, but
failed to show up when wanted, whereup.

the bondsmen for the amount of the bail
Upon learning of Harrys presence in Du.

the amount of the bail, procured bench

A Raftman Seriously Hurt.

Yesterdays Derrick gives the fol.
lowing account of a serious accident
which occurred at Oil City Monday
afternoon:
A serious and probably fatal acci.
dent happened in the Third ward yes.
terday afternoon shortly after 8 o'clock.
A large lumber raft belonging to Col.
liDs q Mccain, of TioDests, came down
the river and wishing to tie up in
Moran eddy, two men named Amos
Keyser and Fred. Sbreffler went ashore
with rope. They got hitch around
tree, and as the raft was running
very fast, Mr.. A. X. Mong, who was
doing the suubbing, snubbed it bard,
quickly taking up the slack. Shrefler
saw the rope begin to slip and lodged,
but before Keyser could do so the rope
flew around and struck him over the
left ear, cutting a cash about six inch.
es long and lifting the scalp from the
skull, Shreffler ran and jumped on
the raft and was 80 frightened that be
could not speak. They finally sue.
ceeded in getting the raft stopped in
Howe's eddy, near Reno, and the men
telegraphed to this city to take care Of
Keyser. In the meantime some men
found him lying on the bank and a
carriage was procured 10 bring him up
town. Every hotel in the Third ward
refused TO take him in, and he was
taken to the Exchange Hotel, where
Doctors jackson and Sellew sewed Up
the wound. Mr.. Mong said last night
that the river was about three feet TOT
high for rafting, and the run from
Tionesta to this city was made in
about three hours. Keyser's home il

THE LUMBERMAN is published in
the interest of its subscribers consequent
ly it is a curiosity in modern trade jour
nalism. No advertiser can buy line in
its editorial or news pages. That is what
makes it the best advertising medium iu
the world. A journal in which every 9TH
or paragraph is paid "write up" or IL
Illustrated puff, is absolutely worthless to
tho reader; 1t is worse than useless, be-
caHse il is misleading. The Lumberman
has information TO sell at the rate of 400
per year for is or 60 pages per week. It
gives more pages of reading matter, out
side of its advertising-the fun nunax<s;
running from 40 TO 4S pages each week
than any other journal published at the
same price in the world. They contain
substantially all the lumber news, and tho
weekly reviews of the markets south and
west, north and south, are indispensable
TO any lumberman who cares TO keep post
ed on current events. Its advertising
pages contain more valuable information
than is given in all the pages of many
lumber journals, so-called. As a matter
of fact, its advertising pages are of the ut
most value to all users of woodworking
machinery, as they form a complete cata-
logue of the latest and best of all the
modern devices used in lumber manufact-
uring. Send for il.
