Owing to the Jealousy and persecution Of
local doctors, Gun Wa, the celebrated Chinese
physician has decided to leave Pittsburg. He
has taken up his permanent residence at the
beautiful city of indianapolis, Ind. During his
four months residence here he made many
converts to the mild and gentle natural herbal
remedies of the Flowery Kingdom and effected
some marvellous cures. Thousands of people
who had long doubted the wisdom of our reg
ulars, and their powerful mineral drugs and
poisons. believe that an outrage has been COM
mitted an inoffensiye foreigner. whose sole
aim was to do good. The less bgoted medical
fraternity of Indiana have made Gun Wa well
come among them. Gun Wa does not practice
medicine-he has perfected himself and does
not need to ''practice'-but he has line of
prepared herb remedies which positively cure
dyspepsia rheumatism, neuralgia, female weak
ness, tumors piles, consumption, costiveness,
salt rheum. cstarrh. scrofu1a. tspeworm, ma
laria, nervous diseases and all diseases of
private nature. Young, old or middle-aged
men wfo feel exhausted from Overwork or
other causes. should consult Gun Wa. No
charge for advice, and the medicines are sold
for small sum. Write to

You're not saddled with the

The location of the mine Is historically
interesting, as IL was one OF the worst
nests of bushwhackers developed by the
war. II was at Pilot Knob that Ulysses
s.. Grant received his commission as gem
eral. II was at Pilot Knob that the United
States headquarters for the southwest
were established. IL was at Pilot Knob
that General Hardee surrendered in 1861,
and Il was on this same spot that the cele-
bratcd battle OF Pilot Knob was q IN
September of 1854. And now. like the
tales OF the war, the erstwhile famous
"Piiot Knob mine" the supposed Col.
conda, is a thing Of the past, a shattered
stronghold.

WARREN'S LAST FABLE
Two Helena Gentlemen Who Once Owned
DOG.
Bears That We're Like Heiena's
Population Not There When
Wanted--An Unfortunate
Dog and the Lost Mine.
Special correspondence OF the standard.

BUTTE, July 17.-Gen. c. S. Warren felt
like a boy with a new toy to-day. He had
"a brand new pear story with a real bear
in IL. Loading himself with a dry chuckle
and "a fresh cigar, the general leaned
back in his luxurious chair and told the
story as follows:
"You sec, there IL a mine situated some
where known TO humanity as the Lost
mine. Ii is a kind of a myth. Nobody
knows Just where IL is, but IL Is n gener-
ally accepted tradition that IL is ONE
where between Burlington and the Brit
ish possessions. Everybody connected
with mining industries has searched for
the Lost mine at some time. Some claim 10
have found il and To have panned out
gold by the ~pocketful. But the mine is
elusive and once away from il the miner
seems never able to find Il again.
"Among the latest scarchers for the
treasure in the lost mine were Hugh Nc
Quaid and Peter Romayne. After days of
arduous toll they found the mine n re-
turned to Helena with the tale. McQuaid
got Henry Bratnober to accompany Ro-
mayne ON the search for thet treasure.
The trip took place last week. The two
explorers were provided with n complete
outfit Of provisions, "a carload OF refresh
ing drinks and a clean shirt. In due
course of time they reached Helms
vile. There the Jonah of the party
attached itself to the explorers in
the person of n dog. IL was one OF these
long and lank dogs of doubtful color and
lugubrious aspect. II proved to he a dog
of misfortune TO the tribe. Through the
dense woods west OF the flathead coun
try the party proceeded and at last
reached a point about four miles from the
Lost mine, Here the bloody canine freed
two cubs and yelped about the tree which
he in vain tried to climb. A council of
wal was held. Ronayne thought the ex-
petition had no use for the cubs. Colo
mel Bratnober, however, thought i would
he a great idea to take the cubs back to
Helena TO swell the census of b capital
city by two, So 1t was decided TO make
the bears the cub addition to Helena.
but no sooner was IL decided TO get the
cubs thar the question was how To take
rare of them. The cubs would not come
down off the tree, and the dog did not
want To he left at the tree alone. Ii was
decided to go on To the mine, locate it,
erect n shack and return for the bears.
So a big log chain was tied around the
tree, the other end was annexed to the
dog and the dog left to watch the bears.
''The next day the two gentlemen of
