Schenck’s Sea-Weed Tonic.
Iu the atmosphere experienced here during
the summer mouths, the lethargy produced
by the heat takes away the desire for wliole
»ome food, and frequent perspirations reduce
bodily energy, particularly those suffering
from the effects of debilitating diseases. In
order to keep a natural healthful activity of
the system we must resort to artificial means,
tor this purpose Scheuck’s Sea Weed Tonic
u very effectual. A few doses will create nn
appetite and give fresh vigor to the enervated
body. For dyspepsia it is invaluable. Many
eminent physicians have doubted whether
oyspepsla can be permanently cured by the
orugs which are generally employed for that
purpose. The Sea Weed Tonic in its nature
w totally different from such drugs. It con
joins no corrosive minerals or acids; In fact It
assists the regular operations of nature and
•applies her deficiencies. The tonic In Its
KO rouch resemble b the gastric Juice

on the flagged field, yesterday, and
retired badly beaten. At tlie close of

English Opera.
The promised treat at McDaniels’
New Dramatic theatre, by the Richings-
Bernard Opera troupe, on Thursday,
Friday and Saturday of next week, bids
fair to be the event of tlie season. Tlie
St. Louis Globe-Democrat speaks of tlie
rendition of “Maritana,” one of the
operas to be produced: “Tlie Richings-
Bernard English Opera company
opened at Deßar’s last night in ‘Mari
tana,’which was well cast and effec
tively rendered throughout. Mrs. Ber
nard, who is an old St. Louis favorite,
was greeted with round after round of
applause, and her charming voice gave
evidence that it lias lost neither volume
or sweetness. She sings with tlie same
effectiveness as of old, and tlie sweet
cadences of tlie charming opera last
night were not lacking in beauty.
Harry Gates, a new aspirant for tlie
favor of St. Louis audiences, won tlie
admiration of all upon his first appear
ance, and showed himself an accom
plished aitist and fully worthy of tlie
reception he met with. Altogether tlie
opera gave good satisfaction.
Tliq Sioux Virgin Danes.
The “virgin dance” of tlie Sioux, is
something similar to the May-pole
dance of the east, the young maidens
forming around a pole or tree, and
dancing while boasting of their virtue.
If any young man knows aught against
a maiden, he steps into tlie ring and
tells it,"when the unfortunate maid is
compelled to leave the ring in disgrace.
At all of the dances, and in fact when
ever there are rations enough on hand,
the Indians feast, and have a grand jolli
fication. They can eat an enormous
quantity, and then go for days at a
time witii little, and often nothing, to
live on. Their principal diet is rations
issued them by the government, but as
a matter of course they do consider
able hunting and dry immense quanti
ties of meat for winter use. They also
dry the wild cherry and other small
fruit that grows in profusion along tlie
bottoms.

On Saturday evening of this week,
these classical little artistes are to re

AVliile at the round-up, about twenty
live miles east of Julesburg, says the
Greeley Sun, J. K. Thompson picked
up an Indian stone implement. It was
of white quartz, six inches long by four
in diameter, round, as if worn l>y the
action of water. Around it, one third
tlie distance from one end, a rude
groove was chipped. Tlie ends of tlie
stone were abraded as if it laid been
used for pounding. Tlie groove indi
cated that a handle hud been fitted to
it. AVitli it were found a number of
tepee poles badly decayed.
A Washington dispatch to tlie Chicago
Inter-Ocean is as follows: “Col. A. G.
Boone, of Missouri, is making desperate
efforts to secure tlio removal of Indian
Commissioner Smith, and his own
appointment to his place. Botli tlie
President and Scliurz have tlie
utmost confidence in Commissioner
Smith, and he will not he disturbed.”
“ON TO THE 810 HORN,’’
Progress and Adventures of Senator
Spencer’s Expedition.
A correspondent accompanying Sen
ator Spencer's Big Horn expedition,
writes as follows from “camp on Clear
Fork of Powder river, July 11th: Re
peated forced marches had. worn liotli
m en and animals so that
A STOP TO HECRVrr
was a necessity. Tents were accord
| ingly pitched on the east side of Pow
der river, about a mile from tlie Can
tonment. Sore-backed stock and sore
bodied men were tenderly nursed until
the 7th, when camp was broken, and
we were again on the way. Our desti
nation this day was Crazy AVOman's
Fork, a stream running from some
where in the Big Horn range, flowing
swiftly a very large body of water.
Long before reaching tlie Fork, we saw
up in tlie mountains to our left, that a
heavy storm prevailed, the result of
whicli was, that on reaching the stream,
we found it swollen and dirty; but tlie
water was soft, and in a few boars
was again clear and beautiful.
Cantonment Reno is perhaps forty
miles from tlie mountains, and our
course was diagonally toward these so
much that at Clear creek, fifty miles
from Reno, wo touch them. ' From
Reno looking toward tlie mountains,
we see, at tlie left or southern extremi
ty of tlie range, a sag in the outline,
descending low and forminfi Sioux
Pass. Along northward tlie mountains
were higher, until tlie snow-capped
peaks were seen directly west of Old
Fort Phil Kearney; then they descend
again to the general level. These snow
capped mountains are Cloud Peak and
its few fellow giants. Tiie country
passed through this day was much iiet
tcr than that lying east of Reno, being
from its contiguity to tlie mountains;
like the plain immediately adjacent to
the Black Hills, well watered by fre
quent rains. Tlie land was elevated
and rolling, tlie grass tolerably good.
Tlie country is admirably adapted to ,
sheep raising,—the high land, and dry
atmosphere, and short, close-growing
buffalo grass being the qualities most
required in this class of industry.
On the 9th, after leaving Clear Fork,
we passed througli the finest land en
countered on the entire route. Tlie
plain, stretching like tlie billows of tlie
ocean, miles in all directions, was one
unbroken sheet of the most refreshing
green. The grass was red-top and wild
oats. Riding through this, it came to
our horses’ midsides; while down on
the ground was the buffalo and hunch
grass. These two last are, of all the
different kinds, the most nutritious;
and tlie stock would burrow down
through the taller red-top to nip this,
whicli grows no more than four or five
inches high, and in close, compact
bunches.
Along the face of the mountains, or
along tlie foot-hills, tlie formation was
lime and sandstone, evidently non
gold-bearing; but tlie presence here of
an immense granite wash satisfied us
that ill tlie interior the formation was
different. It was thought prudent,
however, before attempting to enter
for prospecting purposes, that tlie pro
posed route be scouted.
At Clear Creek it was tlie purpose of
tlie party to make a camp and prospect
tlie adjacent mountain region as far as
tlie main “divide.” This seemed
to be about ten miles away.
Accordingly two men were sent out
on tlie 10th, and after a few hours of
hard climbing found themselves upon a
level table land, extending miles ahead.
Tlie grass on this wide-spread summit
park was very fine indeed, and game
was more abundant than elsewhere ill
the country. A thousand feet Mow
coursed Clear creek, plunging over its
rocky bed. It was lashed into a white
foam. In some places the stream was
so crowded between its granite walls
that the branches upon its sides inter
locked above it; and again it would
api>car glistening under tlie noonday
sun, looking like a spool of white silk
ribbon thrown witii a reckless hand
across the ricli carpet in some dainty
lady’s boudoir.
Still climbing upward snow was
reached at 4p. m., 20 miles from camp.
The scouts then unsaddled and began
hunting. Pressing through the dense
tangle of dead timber lying prostrate
in every direction, and in a thick gloom
from tlie living timber above tlie men
found themselves suddenly in tlie pres
ence of an old, old cabin.
It had been made by whites,
and they either possessed no ax, or
feared to use it—most likely the
latter. Tlie trees were laid on tlie
walls without cutting, tlie roots
projecting in one and tlie tops in tlie
other direction. The cabin was so old,
and our time so brief, that I did not
satisfactorily examine it; but, passing
on a few steps, 1 found a covered ditch,
tlie waters of which gurgled beneath
tlie cap of flat rock. AVhetlier these
were the work of miners, and are tlie
ones whose presence has been vaguely
hinted at, or not, I shall definitely de
termine in tlie course of a few days,
being now organizing an expedition to
prospect the region.
Gold prospects on tlie eastern slope
have long been said not to exist, be
cause of the lime formation; and many
report that this continued to the main
divide. The trip of tlie scouts dis
proved this, as tlie limestone belt was
found to extend no further back than
the foot-hills, behind which was a solid
granite formation. Frequent croppings
of quartz were found, also black sand
in the gulches, usually accompanying
gulcli gold. One prospect hole was
found excavated to a depth of several
feet in aolid wlTTtc IfhijlTzr 'TMS exca
vation was apparently very old. and tie
qiiartz on tlie dump certainly looked
good. This question will lie settled
before leaving. All that now can be said
is, that tlie country looks favorable.
There is no one in the mountains on
this side of tlie divide, so far as known,
and much of tlie country has never
been traversed by whites. Tlie exact
course that will be taken by this expe
dition cannot now lie told—this must
depend on discoveries, etc.—but most
likely, after prospecting tlie eastern
slope, tlie mountains will’ be crossed,
and tlie western country lie gone over.
—_L
Crazy Woman's Fork.
An Indian legend lias it that Crazy
AVomau's Fork of Powder river de
rived its peculiar name from its lovely
banks and swift-llowing waters having,
long, long before tlie fust coming of the
pale-face, been tlie haunt of a crazy old
squaw, tlie parent of their most noted
chief. It banks were at this time their
favorite spring and autumn camping
ground. At these times, vast herds of
buffalo, antelope, and elk fattened on
its rich grasses a ltd quaffed its spark
ling waters, whose cascades and rapids
were the home of the strong-finned
mountain-trout. On moonlight nights,
tliis old squaw was often seen seated in
her light canoe, shooting down its rap
ids, jumping its numerous falls, and
thus leaping from village to village
like a very spirit. The Great Spirit
had laid his hand upon her; lienee she
was not molested by any of the tribe,
and her comings were looked upon ratli
ns good-medicine, and were often
quickly followed by the successful chase,
or victorious battle witii their old-time
foes, tlie Crows, whose home was in
tlie adjacent mountains.
O
Base Ball Talk.
Tlie Salt Lake Herald, speaking of
Monday’s match game, says:
The pitching of Taylor of the Reds
bothered our boys more than any they
have ever had to bat against, in several
innings three of tlie l)’s striking out
one after the other, thus making a
whitewash. A r ery few errors were
made on either side. There is no
doubt that tlie Reds have a splendid
team; and that tlie Salt Lakers had to
work hard to gain the victory, was
apparent. Tlie Cheyennes proved them
selves to be better batters than tlieir
opponents, hut the fielding of tlie Des
erets was too much for the Red Stock
ings, who were successively white
washed until tlie last innings when
they got in two runs.
Card to the Public.
Dr. 1). Y. Gates bids adieu to Chey
enne as soon as lie can pay what lie
owes. To do tliis lie will give, in life
like personations, an evening with
poets, orators and tragedians of Europe
and America, and delineations of tragic,

Doors open at 7 p. ni., commencing at
8:10 sharp. Admission only twenty
five cents. Front seats will be reserved

others do unto you.”
Tiie public and press of San Francis
co, Sacramento, Nevada, Stockton.
Marysville, California, Virginia, Car
son and Reno, Nevada, says: “Tliis is
an excellent and amusing entertain
ment, it is fresh, sparkling and of tlie
highest order of merit; “Whatever Dr.
D. A r . Gates undertakes is thorough
and complete. ” “Dr. Gates’persona
tions of tiie late Hon. Henry Clay,
Daniel Webster, John Randolph, of
Roanoke.” Ed. Forrest, Macready,
Charles Kean and Junius Brutus Booth,
are startling, life-like and natural.”
“Tlie personating by Dr. Gates, of
“Tiie youth who never saw a woman,
till lie was sixteen years old;” “Shamus
O’Brien, or the days of 98,” “AVliiskers,
or tlie power of fashion,” “Irish Peti

I Lynch Law in Colerada.
A few days ago we . announced the
arrest of Marcus Gonzales, who mur
dered the Brown family in November
last. Gonzales was lodged in the jail
at La A r eta, and on the night of tlie
23d, a mob overpowered the guard,
aud Gonzales was taken from custody
and lynched to a telegraph pole in tlie
public square. The murder, which oc
curred near La A'eta in November last,
was one of the most brutal recorded in
the annals of crime, an aged couple
being the victims and money the in
centive. Gonzales went to the house
of the unfortunate family and asked
to stay over night, and killed Mr.
Brown while he was curing for his
horse. Returning to the house the
wretch killed Mrs. Brown and left
their daughter, Mrs. Rice, for dead,
obtaining the paltry sum of four dol
lars for his butchery. The murderer
escaped to New Mexico, hut was
hunted down by detectives and brought :
back for trial, and upon a preliminary
examination was positively identified
by Mrs. Rice, who, pointing to Gon
zales, said: “You are the man who
murdered my father and mother and
nearly killed me.” He was also sus
pected of several other murders. The 1
lynching took place at 11 p. m. About
seventy-five men participated. They (
were quiet and orderly but deter
mined.

An Old Offender Arrested.
Sheriff Cook received telegraphic in
structions from the Sheriff of Laramie
county, AVyoming, Tuesday evening
to arrest George Millsap for robbing a
Frenchman on the cars between Denver
and Cheyenne. Officers at once pro
ceeded to the haunt of Millsap on
Blake street, and found him. His
arrest -was effected quietly, and while
lie was being searched the woman was
noticed endeavoring to conceal some
article by throwing it under a lounge in
the room. It proved to be a pocket
book containing 8110 and several drafts,
supposed to be a part of the stolen pro
perty. Twelve dollars was also found
on Millsap. Millsap is an old offender, i
having served three years at Canon City
and being constantly under surveillance
of tlie officers as a bard case.
