It is too bad that the president of
the Tinted Malts should die from a
wound indicted by a worthless vaga
bond. It is one of the most sickening
phases of the calamity now impending.
The death of a brave man from the
bite of a dog is always as horrible to
contemplate as it is to witness. Jn
nearly all cases the dog is killed as
soon as he inllicts the wound. In this
case, we are sorry to say, the cur still
lives. Chicago JLail7 News.
Them's our sentiments.
Ouk contemporary of the Enterprise
kindly comes to our relief in the mat
ter of the letting of the contract for
the printing of the High School Mann
;tl, in stating that it was an unwise
and un-business-like transaction on
the part of the School Board, to send
the work away from home in consid
eration of the insignilieant sum of six
dollars, which is claimed to be saved
on an edition of 500 copies. We shall
probably expatiate on the subject in a
week or two; but in the mean time we
would merely state that our senti
ments are exactly the same, and if the
bids at home had been reversed, we
would undoubtedly not have hesitated
to take up the cudgel in behalf of home
patronage and "live and let live," just
the same us did the Enterprise last
week.

His reasons for cutting his vacation
short was the critical condition of the
president. Under the circumstances he
could not enjoy traveling and felt he
ought to be at his post. lie earnestly

SENATOR BECK.
Milwaukee, Aug. 23. A KayGeld
special gives an interview with Sena
tor Beck, of Kentucky, in reference to
the course the democrats should pur
sue iu case of the death of President
Garfield. Senator Beck said it would
-be a' time when love of country should
rise above all party questions. As to
my own course; I wouli be in favor of
the election of some conservative lie
publican, say. Henry B. Anthony, of
KUode Island, to the position of
president pro tern, of the sen
ate, and thus avoid any inducement
for any insane person or political fan
atic to desire the death of Mr. Arthur
in such contingency. That would be a
graceful recognition of the fact that

Uettin; Up Cabin Fart Snon Moun
tains and Miners.
We left the folks down iu the mine.
After listening to "cross-cut" and"ler
els, and drilling and examining tli
vein of ore, and getting good and mud
dy, that old bucket came down again,
and up the shaft tw the engine house
at the end of the tunnel we went. By
the way, the boiler, that 5-ton boiler,
is out at the mouth of the tunnel, ami
the steam is sent into the hoisting en
gine in pipes.
Walking through the 400-it tunnel
again, we are on terra outside, and the
daylight seems brighter than usual. I
notice one thing: I never can form any
idet of how time flies in any such
plate. I look at my watch; it is only 2
o'clock, and it seems to me we havo
been there hour?, and it ought to be
most night.
On this narrow ledge of rock, called
"the dump," live the engineer and fam
ily, and board' the miners, a Mr. John
son,' formerly a C. B. A Q. engineer
living at Chariton. Iowa. His assist
ant and partner in leasing part of the
mine, is Mr. Isaiah White, a Cass Co.,
Nebraska, man, wh married one of
Mrs. Jelfries daughters; so we meet
them every where. Three little children
play on a blanket in a 3x3 corner of
the rock, between the- cabin aad the
engine house, and look as happy as if
they had all Nebraska to roll on, in
stead of a narrow ledge, 22 by, perhaps,
50 feet, 1.500 ft. up the mountain side.
We ate dinner in the cabin, a:id a bet
ter dinner forhaidy workers I never
want. Everything neat and clean, and
it was perfectly wondeifui to .ne how
they got so much way up there.
DOWN THE TKAMWAY.
We go again facing the music on
that GO-degree grade, and find our hors
es nil right. It has rained its uual
midday r;:i while we were iu the
mine, and the roaIs to Georgetown are
quite muddy. All up and down iha
mountain on this road we can ee
mines; and the miners' cabins are stuck
iu the oddest place?, on the very peaks
of rucks apparent iy, and faiily hang
ing oyer the brim, 'yoking as if they
must tumble down intj the yij'Jey if
yon stepped on one porner jf t)iem,
We pass through or by the. following
famous mines on this road:
rev's peak.
Thursday, August llth, we set for
G ivy's Peak, and were awakened early
for breakfast, as it is a long up hill ride.
At Z a. m. we were on the road in a
carriage. AtJ vas v;;id t;y Clear Creek
we notice the railroad uv:il$ being
built by the U. P., from Georgetown
west. What wonders that railroad has
done! From Denver to Georgetown is
a marvel; but now they propose to
vrind i'ouii'l and through and over the
great range, the batk lume of the Con
tinent, and passing into South P:i;J;
reach out westward, how far, only the
demands of trade can tell. It seems a
feat of magic, a work beyond the hands
of mar., and yet there is the grade, and
there are tha men, slowly, surely, pick
ing, blasLiug, inch hy inch, working
onward and upward to the end, not far
iu the future, when a railroad will
reach every mining camp of import
ance hi the State, no matter how high,
how j ugged the p.ik5.- or deep the can
yons th.it .surround it.
Past the Piume, Brownville, the
Shiveiy, of Tuesday, gradually up we
go for several miles, wiien turning sud
denly l hp left we begin to climb the
mountain in dcuJ p;;yiieat. It does
seem o a greenhorn, as we Oil")
glimpses of the roal before us that
wagons could not get there; yet great
loads of stuff go up, and weighty loads
of ore come Jow;j nyer this load, and
they call it a good road he.
All that bothers me is how we ever
could pass in some spots; but this
morning we meet no ieams, and short
ly reach "Kelso Cabin," the last stop
ping place before the peak is really
reached. Here we leave the carriage,
and thoae wJ?o want to ascend Grey's
take to the woods (the trail on horse
back. Unfortunately for me the ride, the
cold and early rising have been too
much of a good thing, and I get into
the cabin iu a big chair, and have a
fire built to keep me warm. Mrs.
Fletcher did not jijten.'l to iake in the
peak, and while Mr. F. i saddling the
horses for himself and Mrs. Mac, I en
joy a lively chill over the pine lire that
makes my teeth chatter like castinets.
It looks rainy; nevertheless about 0 a.
m. they set off up the Peak. I tell Mr.
Fletcher to saddle the other horse, any
way, and if I get oyer my chill, I'm
going to see that peak if I have to tie
myself in the saddle.
AUNTY LANE'S.
This "Ke'so Cabin" is kept by one
"Aunty Lane," so known from the
Missouri Iiiver to California, I guess,
and back to Colorado. His house is a
curiosity. On the mountain side, at
the foot of the highest peak, 11,000 ft.
above the sea, like a haven of rest,
perches Aunty Lane's home, as neat,
ap clean, as home-like a place as ever
lonesome traveler iawf Iow she got
everything there, how siie keeps it o,
I can't tell; but it's the stopping place
of all places on a tourist's route. None
other can excel it, few equal this eyrie
on the hill. I could have fallen in no
better hand4.
Getting good and warm, and after a
cup of tea and a rest i an hour, I
make up my mind to try the ascent.
Wabbling out to the stable I get out
the other sorrel, crawl up on the sad
dle somehow, and put out. For a mile
above Aunty's wagons can be driven.
A road leads up to the Stevens mine
on the left, one of the highest mines
bove timber line. On the right a road
turns oft Lj nuite a large buildii g just
being completed; then pomes thj trail
proper, and upward and onwurju ul-i
sorrel blunders over crags and stones
and sideling places; but this is a good
trail to some.
. lean see the pak, see the little
fctoiie chelffr pu the top, see their hors
es at the side, when the clouds lift.- At
other times the heavy vapois shut out
the peaks, and it thunders and crashes
fearful y. I keep going over the wild
est, rockiest path, with snow and ice
each side, till I reach the very foot of
the peak, where it begins to be straight
up. On my right is a huge horse-shoe
basin lilied with snow and ice; to the
left the tin 1 gets steeper and sleeper.
The drops patter on my nose, for I
will keep looking at that peak. My
horse begins to stand on - end as he
knocks the loose stones down the
gulch. I take one good look at the old
peak, calculate the distance yet to go;
think of (he long ro id back; listen to
the thunder; remember that 1 got up
at four, ate but a mouth full of break
fast, have just had a chill; and a big
thunder storm coming on, and hunting
a level place I turn round and start
down the trail, the most unwilling
thing lever did; but discretion was
the better part of valor ; for before I
reached the cabin it was just all I
could do to keep in the saddle. I miss
ed the bad rain, and an hour after Mr.
Fletcher and Mrs. M. came in wet as
eats; but they had the magnificent and
wonderful experience of a grand thun
der storm ou the highest mountain
around
The electricity plays strange freaks
up there. It stands your hair up, tick
les your ears, twitches your nose, and,
in fact, becomes dangerous at time.-.
They stood it to-day until the horses
got so frightened that Mrs. M. thought
best to tiiiibje down, and they did.
They both describe it aii gratuj. TLe
clouds seemed as living things, sweep
ing, by on hurried wings; and stout
must be the heart and clear the head
that does nt grow dizzy ou this nar
row ledge, 14,411 feet up country.
Fletcher privately informed me that
he was waiting for Mrs. Mae to get
scartd; but when her individual hairs
began to poke through her straw bon
net, and it to rise as far as the elastic
would stretch, he thought it was lima
to be "gettin"' down that mountain.
One horse's tail was cocked over his
back like a squirrels, each hair stand
ing out like a brush, and it had not re
sumed its normal position when we
stalled home two hoars afterwards.
The other one stood on an insulated
boulder, and it ail fettled iu his feet.
As they turutd him round to leave, he
thought Uji wuid acratcii hi ear with
his hind foot to see what the matter
was, and he burnt a hole through it,
just the size of the toe-cork. Bad thing
to fool with electricity on a moun
tain. Mac.
Noie I didn't see this, but F, and
my wife are both reliable; and these
Coloradoans tell of places where you
can catch trout in one spring and cook
them iu another, not a dozen yards
away; and being a "tender foot." I do
not like to be beat on a little story
about lightning; so I give it for what
it is worth. M.J
THE PUESiyilM.
After Another Bad Attack.
Washington, I). C, Aug. 23.- "The
utomach rules thu world" is an old pro
verb. Never was it more true than at
preant. when so much seems to de
pend on the stomach of the president.
In it has been ranging now for several
days the hope and fear of the nation,
audits increased strength to-day has
been about the only food for increased
hope. The food has been slightly in
creased and its character strengliieM
ed. All the nourishment hiis been tak
en without nausea. The president has
not always asked for food, but it is
taken without repuguauce. As yet its
effect has been noticeable only in the
pu.'se. This itas been reported firmer.
IHIO JrCEM-SO AT THE WHITE HOUSE.
But the feeliug at the white house
is this: Since the president is not t,e
yoiid recovery, is it not as fair to think
that he will recuperate, as not very far
ahead can be seen the point where in
creased nourishment will he very apt
to take strong hold Hei3 comes jn
the stomach again. If it continues to
do as well as now the ground-work
wiii combine to be linn as long as
nothing is lost; and hence the reigning
hope is for brighter days yet to come.
These are the sentiments expressed by
the official family of the president.
Mrs. Garfield's hope is not a blind one,
hag keen said. She reasons out for
herself the ground f;;r the hope which
Bhe has expressed. To-day she told her
pastor that her hope had increased
since yesterday, and that she felt sure
that the president would ei recover.
Dr. Powers says that he would take
the judgment of the litth; woman as
suou as that of all the surgeons.

August 23, 8 p. m. Theut has been
no change, reported in the president
since 6:30 p. m. He continues to retain
nourishment and is not so restless as
he has been during some evenings re
cently. 10:30 p. m. The president h is slept
comfortably this evening and experi
ences comparatively slight annoyance
from the phlegm in hi;j throat. Tha
slight febrile rise is now scarcely per
ceptible. His general condition is not
much changed since this hour last
night, but continue good. The behavi

for encouragement.
Midnight. The president has swal

up to 2S ounces. 'Tijere u no judication

The President was reported dead

Tis not "all quiet on the Potomac;
the battle rages yet; the enemy cries
that every step. we take but increases
their forces and strengthens their
cause. An exchange says:
Ve have been confused more than
once in reading the GOUiUiuuioaiiong
of correspondents to know just what
their authors mean when they speak
of urohibitorv law being -failure."
Almost without exception we are told
by them that there are more saloons
and more drunkenness than ever be
fore" that it is iust as easy tu get a
drink of vvhhjky in Maine as in Ohio,"
that "the traffic- in liquor is constantly
increasing," etc. Now. from a tem
perance and legal standpoint we can
see that if such things are literaiiy
true then "prohibitory laws" are in
one sense a failure. But we cannot
imagine why fhe anti-temperance ele
ment and. most of all, the dealers in
intoxicants, should be so very anxious
to demonstrate the failure of the pro
hibitory laws while "the traffic in liq
uor is constantly increasing. If it is
a fact, as a Lawrence brewer writes
to the Globe-Democrat, that "there are
moro saloons ' in Kansas ta-day than
b'efcrw thp jaw w-, enacted." if he
says 'T have many more, calla for that
article (beer) than ever befoie," why
is he so bitttr in his denunciation of the
Governor St. John and the law-abiding
people of that state? Such statements
are false and will deceive no one who
has an iota of sense. The liquor mak
ers and venders are always quite will
ing, we have observed, to pay liberal iy
to nrevena arjy nevy opportiinity for
prohibition tu "fail.''

The anniversary of the United

in Manchester with great enthusiasm.
Bishop Fntser presided. Sir Wilfrid
Lawson, tha leading advocate of the
cause, iu Parliament, was in excellent
spirits, and was impelled to excuse
himself for being what "publicans
termed a little- elevated for" he said,
"not only was thu nieefing presided
over by a real, live, perfect bishop, but
they had for the .first time a Prime
Minister, the inaj .i v .:f the Cabinet,
and a majority o! the House of Com

Victuallers at an exhibition uf brew
ers utensils in London, has produced
a machine for making tea and coffee
very rapidly at the publican's bar;
and, out of compliment to himself,
had called it "The Wilfred." The Li

it an oratnent to tha bar. .The Alli-
j ance bad not now anv bill readv to be
pressed to its passage, but it had some
thing better a government pledged
to bring in a bill to deal with the
question, and it re., ained far the sup
porters of the Alliance throughout the
country to say to the Prime Minister
that there was no business so press
ing as legislation to promote the hap
piness and morality of the great body
of the people." Temperance sermons
were recently preached iu nearly all
the churches jn Liverpool and the
neighborhood, Bishop Ryle being one
of the preachers in Birmingham, and
in North London, where the National

The New York Sun declares that
the lager beer brewed in the U. S
is one of the worst adulterated drinks
made. Barley, malt, and hops ar con
spicuous by their absence, glucose be
ing present in great quantities. Jt'jj
excessive consumption is sajd to causo
kidney complaints.
The Chicago Daily News, referring
to the movement inaugurated by the
National Temperance Society for a

place in our politics."

This must majce a delightful beverage.

Ed. Herald: After long suffering
from an aggravated case of an agri
cultural dead-lock, we find a few mo
ments to send you a few items from
this point.
The drouth, grasshopper, and the
comet are .ill subjects for conversa
tion. Our corn aud fall plowing are
suffering from the first. We saw
quite it number of the second flying
south east ou Saturday last; none of
them called and we .tie enduring the
slight witli considerable s.it 1st action.
1 he dim outlines of the third are visi
ble lo tlie naked eye iu the uorth west
in l he evening. Mr. Ritchey, smd Mr
J. Dowler, who have just returned
from tiie "reservation" report the hop
pers coming down in great numbers
at Ihe reserve and that they saw quite
a number of them at Palmyra on their
way home. Mr. R. reports the land in
the reservation "just boss" but not in
market yet. His daughter, lecently
married iu Kansas, is on a visit with
her hubby; we hope the drouth, grass
hoppers or the comet will not climb
the light of their honey-moon.
Geo. Hamilton is just the ;'bos3
trader." He expects to go to Gage

Th
ie nrst regular nieetiiic of the

cises were very good for the first
meeting. The subject for debate was
well handled 011 both sides. There
were quite a nunU'.ey uf viiilois pres
ent , and they seemed to feel as though
they were well paid for coming. Two
new members were admitted, smd sev
eral more have made application to

such a society started, an hope it
wjll be ;i .uixess. The people, old and
young, have long felt the want of such
a society.
Cured oi Drinking:.
"A yung friend of mine was cured
of an insatiable thirst for liquor
which had so prostrated hiin that he
was unable to do any business. He
was entirely cured by the use of Hop
Hitters. It allayed all that burning
thirst; it took away tha appetite for
lifuior j liiade his nerves steady, and he
hit's remained a aober and steady man
for more than two years and has no
desire to return to his cups. I know
of a number of others that have been
cured of drinking by it.' From a
le;idins It. It. Official, Chicago, 111.
During a recent trial in&'ew Lon
don ;i rural juror appealed to the
Court to know "if the lawyers could
not be stopped from bothering the
jury". He had become bewildered in
the maze of technicalities and subtle
ties with which the lawyeis had sip
patently mystified the csise, and je
called in :mguiah of spirit : ".theni law
yers come bere on purpose to bother
and confuse us jurors, don't they,
judge," "I suppose they do, my
friend", weaiily a-swered b 'ifa'r.
