LOCAL NEWS.
THE BLACK tIILLs.-We have all along
dissuaded the stampede to the Black Hills,
believing that of all the many ruinous
stampedes from Montana this was the
most unpromising. It is not entirely grat.
ifying that our counsels have been by many
unheeded and that the exodus has been
greater than to any other. With some, we
trust, we have had influence, while others
poured all the anathemas of the seven lan
guages on us for suppressing and excluding
the thousands of exaggerated stories related
by those who had ground or goods to sell
and were one way or another interested in
keeping up the excitement. The other
newspapers of Montana have generally pur
sued the same course, and reaped like mal
edictions from those who were determined
to be humbugged. The vindication is rip
ening. Deadwood is the last ditch of the
Black Hills. Less than one hundred min
ers are making money there, while 7,000
are varying between well-fed idleness and
absolute suffering. All the other camps
are deserted. The;Hills have been better
prospected than Montana has been, and
there is hardly a chance that evan other
small diggings will be struck. Their only
hope is in working toward Montana and
making a find on the route, while the hos
tile Sioux lie directly in the way. All the
reliable advices indicate that Deadwood
will be worked out,before winter, and with
in the next three months the people will
get out of there, if they can, faster than
they went in. All that prevents the exo
dus now is fear of Indians. But out they
will get soon, Indians or no Indians. If
Crook is victorious, many will come this
way. Provisions are fortunately low-flour
$8 per hundred, and other necessaries in
proportion-so that there will not likely be
much suffering, but plenty of Montanians
who went out with a few hundred dollars
will come back broke, in the teeth of win
ter. In two months from now the Black
Hills stampede will all be outward.

" CLARE LiNCOLN."-We are in receipt
of a standard sized novel, "With the com
pliments of the author," bearing the above
title and the imprint of the "Riverside
Press, Cambridge." Its author is Hon.
Decius S. Wade, Chief Justice of Mon
tana, and in its dedication to his wife,
which, by the way, is one of the neatest
and noblest dedications we have read, he
states that its writing was a recreation from
the arduous labors of the bench. We have
not yet had opportunity to read " Clare
Lincoln," but will take pleasure in doing
so, and anticipate a well written story from
our Chief Justice. This, we believe, is the
first romance from the hand of a Montana
author, and all who know the Judge, or
have a pride in Montana, will want a copy.
Chief Justice Hosmer, formerly of Mon
tana, wrote a novel entitled "' The Octo
roon,!' from which a better known play
was dramatized, but that awas some years
before he donned the ermine. So we wel
come "Clare Lincoln" as our first Mon
tana novel, and trust it will have as great a
run as Uncle Tom's Cabin or Daniel
Deronds. Ben R. Dittos, Helena, from
whom copies can be had, is agent for Mon
tana.

TAYLOR, THE WIZARD.-Tn all the olden
ages and in all lands the Black Art,whether
as practiced by astrologers, alchemists,
magi, witches, or wizards, was popularly
supposed to be the doings of the devil, and
mankind has naturally tak en lovingly to it.
In these later days when the intelligent
world knows it is but the skillful use of the
same forces and mechanisms employed in
the avocations of life and the dexterous
fingers of the magician that deceive the
eye, the exhibitions of it are still among the
most admirable and popular entertainments.
And it is a fact that even in this day of in
telligence the more expert performers still
keep so far in advance of popular knowledge
in their adaptation of the arts, sciences and
mechanics, that their performance grow
still more wonderful and as successfully
baffle their audiences. Montana has so often
been humbugged, though, by bunglers and
three cup jugglers that this kind of enter
tainment has come to be ignored and classed
among the half disreputable shows. We
are, however, to have next week an enter
tainment of this character, that we are con
fident in recommending in advance to our
people, and trust they will turn out-ladies,
children and men-and show we appreciate
good entertainments. Mr. C. E. Taylor
has a company of five persons, and the only
magician's outfit of appliances worthy of the
name that has been brought to Montana.
We are satisfied from press mention and per
sonal letters sent us that his exhibition is
first rate in all respects. He has shown
several nights successively in Virginia,
Sheridan, Bannack and Butte and the peo
ple wanted him to stay longer. It was de
signed to have opened here on last Tuesday
evening, but the Hall was engaged and he
went to Pioneer and Philipsburg, at which
latter place he will show to-night and to
morrow night and return here for Tuesday
evening. Let's give him a good turn ont.

LECTURE.-Rev. Sheldon Jackson, of
Colorado, who has recently returned from
an extended trip through Old and New
Mexico, Arizona and Southern Colorado,
delivered an extemporaneous lecture at the
Court House on last Friday evening taking
for.his theme-Pre-Historic America;
Its Romance and Its,Ruins. The Lecture
was principally devoted to describing the
ruins and remnants of that old Aztec civili
zation which flourished in the regions he
had visited long before Cortez conquered
Montezuma and left its records in temples
many times larger than the Egyptian Pyr
amids, and cities fifty miles in extent. Ge
ologists affirm this Rocky Mountain region
was the first that appeared after the deluge,
and Mr. Jackson believes the southwestern
coast of America was densely populated by
a civilized people during the Babylonish
captivity, while here to the north dwelt the
fierce tribes who finally swept down on the
Southern civilization which battled them in
the cliff houses extending across from Col
orado to California and finally fell before
the Northern barbarian a thousand years
ago. Forty great cities once were theirs,
40,000 temples, some of these covering an
area of 45 acres, attest their devotion, and.
houses six stories highshow their mechanic
al skill. As an- interesting fact he men
tioned that all these cities and buildings
were on what is now the second bank of
the stream, showing that when the first
families had possession of this country, the
rivers ran broad and deep on the first bank
where we now live and build. The Lee

has been related mote fully in books and

FROM THE BLACK HILLS.
Letter from Mr. Terrence C. Brady-A
Dismal Picture by a Faithful Artist.
EDITOR NEW NOBTH-WBsT
I can not find means of writing to you as
often as I have desired, but this may be of
some advantage to a number of readers of
your valuable paper who might otherwise
be misled into coming to this
INHOSPITABLE AN D UNREMUNERATIVE
COUNTRY.
I say "valuable" paper because you aim
to, and generally do, present facts instead
of sensational and one-sided reports, and
Montanians can not fully appreciate the I
value of such a paper until they have to
swallow the unblushing falsehoods of oth
ers.
BLACK HILLERS WILL COME TO MONTANA.
This country, as I wrote you before, is
not, and never will be, a prosperous min
ing country, and I think the great tide of
immigration coming here will flow into and I
settle in Montana before next December, if I
the intercepting Indians are driven out.
DEADWOOD.
We have a few paying claims on Dead
wood. Outside of these there are no pay
ing mines in the Black Hills, no matter
what is said to the contrary. Deadwood is
a tributary of Whitewood, which is paying
nothing, and if the four or five claims on
the former gulch can make agood country
of this I have no idea of a mining country. I
We are making
NO NEW DISCOVERILS,
And there are none to be made. We have
no farming country, though this may be at I
variance with former statements. I now 1
speak from actual experience. Heavy
frosts fall every night, cutting down the
hardiest vegetables. Now you have the
Black Hills in a unt-shell.
WHAT NEXT?
Montana, the most favored and prosper
ous of our Territories, offers more induce
ments to industrious immigrants than any
other portion of the Western States. lill
City, on Spring creek, is deserted. Custer i
City is nearly so, and if Sitting Bull's New
Zealander comes along he may trace their
history in their ashes without a single scalp
to reward him for his pains.
I need not speak of
INDIAN ATROCITIES.
You have the accounts before this can
reach you. But one thing I will say.
Agent Howard and Inspector Vanderver
falsified when they said Red Cloud and
Spotted Tail Indians did not commit the
murders in this vicinity, and they are at it
again. News has reached us of a train of
fourteen wagons being captured and all
those with it killed, on Indian cre'k, be
tween Fort Laramie and Custer. We also
hear of other depredations in our immedi
ate neighborhood.
In my next I will give you our business
prospects. Yours truly,
T. C. BRADY.

THE CAMPAIGN
May not prove so short as some have pre.

competent officers that it must be one ol
at least two year's duration, and that a
large increase of the various forces en.

The movement to the Rosebud some im
agine to have been precautionary, the state
of the river perhaps eausing the order.
Enquiry having been made from headquar
ters regarding the time required for com.

the fear follows that perhaps no effective
result can come from this season's opera.

DETlRUCTION OF PROPERTY AND LOSS
OF LIFE.
Special Dispatch to the Naw Noavr-WasT:
HELENA, August 8-5:30 p. m.
Chessman's reservoir, at the head of
Beaver creek, near Red Mountain, putting
into Ten Mile, broke at 3 o'clock this fore
noon, pouring a large body of water down
Ten Mile creek and doing great damage to
ranches and other property.
It carried away the bath house but not
the hotel, at the Hot Springs. The water
was 18 inches deep in Nick Kessler's dwell
ing house.
The house of John Merry was taken up
bodily and washed some distance. Mrs.
Merry has not been found - supposed
drowned.
Visitors to the scene report great distruc
tion to property. It is thought other lives
were lost. The Deer Lodge line was pros
trated and is just up.
NOTE.-Mr. Hoyt, formerly of Helena,
informs us the reservoir was about 1t miles
above the Hot Springs Hotel ; covered 150
acres of ground, and the water was 18 feet
deep at the breast.
The following additional particulars are
condensed from the Independent, August
9th:
The reservoir was very full of water and
some of the timbers were decayed with age.
French Louis and Patrick McGovern who
lived in a log hut 5 mllesb~low the dam and
in the path of the flood have not been heard
of since the break. About one-fourth of a
mile further down was a cabin occupied by
Joseph Flick, William Coyne and Joseph I
Wilson. The noise of the coming flood
awakened them, they ran out, saw the tor
rent and sprung up the side of the cation,
but a moment before their cabin was caught
up, dashed about like a cork and swept
down with the flood. The next house de
stroyed was that of John Merry, 3 miles
above Hot Springs. Mrs. Merry and Frank
Decker were the occupants. They heard
the torrent but supposed it a storm until
the wave struck the house crushing in its
sides and instantly killing Mrs. Merry
whose body was afterward found in the
drift a mile below. Decker escaped from
the building, was swept down stream three
quraters of a mile, and finally got ashore t
much bruised but not fatally. Just at this
point Jerry Robinson, the ditch tender on
his way to the reservoir, saw the flood 1
coming and realizing the disaster sped
down the cation on foot giving the alarm.
He ran the three miles to the Hot Springs
Hotel in advance of the flood and awaken- c
ing the inmates sped on, arousing Mr. f
Wasweiler and Mr. Goodell whose families
were thus enabled to escape. From thence
he ran on 2 miles further to Kessler's 1
Brewery, which he reached a half hour be- l
fore the flood, which, when it came, filled
the cellars of his brewery and covered the
lower floors of his residence. His furniture i:
was ruined, his stock drowned and the r
grain in the vaults flooded. Mrs. Kessler, t
who had just been confined was hastily re
moved to the second story, and the fright u
and removal have rendered her condition I
very critical. Mr. Keseler's loss is $8,000.
The loss at the Hot Springs is $1,000 to
Post & Meyers,lessees, and probably $2,000 s
to Mr. Broadwater the owner. Kessler & I
Warner's brick kiln was damaged $2,000;
Goodeli's loss $1,000; Wasweiler's $500; e
Hoyt's mill $1,000. John Herman's place t
was totally destrojed.
The Herald estimates Mr. Chessman's
loss at $10,000 and the total loss at $50,000.

A Health Promoung Stimulant
Physicians, who certainly ought tobe the
best judges of such matters, declare that
wholesome stimulation is not only desira
ble but essential in many instances. When
the temporary good effeot of a sound stim
ulant is confirmed and rendered permanent 1
as in the case of Hostetter's Stomach Bit
ters, by the action of tonia and alterative
principles cnmubined with it, it becomes in
finitely more efficacious as a renovant of
physical energy and a correction of these
conditions of the body which invite disease.
The Bitters have received the emphatic
sanction of medieal mad who have observed
the effect of that popularstimulativemordi
al as a tremedy for weakness, naervousness,
iyspepeta, constipation, inactivity of the'
lIver, malarious fevers and many other dis
i s Its basis is sound old rye, the pr.
