The season chosen for the excursions is favorable for comfort in traveling and pleasure in sight-seeing, and although the cornfields have not yet taken on the hues of the harvest the imagina tion of the visitor will readily supply the golden ears. DEATH OF OEO. WM. CURTIS. 'In* of tbs Grootaat Writer of tlio frM ont Ago rami A way. New York, Sept. 3.—George William fur tin (lied about 3 o'clock yesterday morning’ at liis homo in Livingston, Staten Island. George William Curtis was born in Providence, K. I., Feb. 34. 1834. The early years of his life were spent in New York city, where he wns clerk in a mercantile house, and in West j Roxbury and Con-jJI cord, Mass., where^i he worked as v.<j fanner. In 1848 he I j went to Europe and remained mere four okoiior w. curtis. years studying' and traveling. Return ing to America he became one of the editorial Btuff of the New York Tri bune and a regular contributor to Put nam's Monthly. Mr. Curtis was a special partner in the firm publishing the magazine and when it became in volved in financial difficulties he sunk his private fortune in an attempt to save the creditors from loss, in which he fully succeeded. In 1853 he begun in Harper’s Month ly the series of papers entitled “The Editor's Easy Chair.” When Harper’s Weekly was established he became its lending editorial writer, a position ho | held until recently, when illness com pelled him to retire. While engaged in theso labors he also attained dis tinction ns an orator and a lecturer. He took a keen interest in politics and was one of the most ardent advocates of civil-service reform, being chairman ■ of the commission appointed by Oen. I Grant to draw up rules for the ] regulation of the civil service. Mr. j Curtis was several times offered for- I eign missions but declined them. He was a Republican, but in 1884 sup ported Mr. Cleveland in preference to Mr. Blaine. OUR ST. LOUIS LETTER. A Funny Mistake—An Express Office Taken for a Waiting Room—A Bi cycle Crase—Tlieuters Opening. St. Louis, Aug. 31.—If you want ro mance and funny incident, don’t go to books for it, but walk around the streets of St. Louis some of these nights while the crowd is surging through them, and watch the people. On the first night of the illumination the streets were so jammed that the cars couldn’t move, and at points where the crowd was thickest many tried in every way to find relief from the crush in the houses near which they were. A Chicago merchant was down on Broad way with his wife, and pressed and jostled by the throng she felt that she was going to faint. They were in front of a building with a great glass I front, and he saw the watch- ! man inside. By signs he asked the man to open the door and let them in. The watchman shook his head. He became vehement in his gestures, and at last held up a five dol lar bill. Still the watchman refused. The angry merchant got his wife to their hotel, and came back the next morning early to complain to the man’s employers about his barbarity. He 8talked into the office, and stated his case to the first man he saw in author ity. “We are sorry,” said the gentleman, “but the watchman did his duty. We had money in here that night to send out the next day, and that man had in structions to keep the doors locked. Besides, too, he is under a bond of 810, 000 to obey orders.” The merchant looked around, and discovered that he was in an express office. He will look at the illumina tions the next time from a window. #’he city authorities have for the first time volunteered to add a little to the fall attractions. Coming into St. Louis from the West, every train passes un der seven big iron bridges across the Mill Creek Valley. Hereafter all these bridges will be illuminate# with col ored lights at night, and visitors will thus receive a brilliant welcome be fore they get off the cars. Then, from the depot all the way up to their ho tels, they will pass between the lines of the street illuminations, which flash out before the first evening train gets to the city. The bicycle dealers of the city say that over five thousand people here ride wheels. Two thousand of these are active wheelmen, that is, they ride every day, and are constantly doing something to increase the number of cyclists. They are arranging now for a street parade during September. The wheels will be hung with lanterns and many of them will carry floats with various devices. There has been only ■ dhe other illuminated street parade of | wheelmen in the country. That was " here, several years ago, and it ex cited the widest interest because of its novelty and picturesqueness. The route of the parade is to be over the smooth streets in the residence part of the city, and the wheelmen will all dismount opposite the Exposition building. The theatrical season in the city opened last week, and each of the seven houses, to say nothing of the dime museums, is drawing well. The new German theater has begun its first season. This theater was com pleted during the summer, and is op posite the Exposition building. It is endowed by the wealthy German res idents of the city and has a stock com pany playing. During the season, the best German actors, as they finish their engagements in New York, will be brought here to play. Except New York, there is no such provision for the encouragement of the German drama elsewhere in the United States. * Fate of a Former Kansas vbii Atchison. Kan., Sept. 3.— Miss Avis Clark, a teacher in the public schools in Grand Junction, Col., who has been •pending her vacation here, has been called to her home in Sait Luke City by a letter stating that her father, William Clark, is missing. Clark is engaged in the sheep business in Mon tana. His wife sent him $1,000 a tnoeth ago. which he receipted for. but since that time has not been heard from. Foul play is suspected. Clark formerly operated a store at Pardee, this county. Rome and Hole* to the National En* rampmeut O. A. H.

Department Commander. J. W. Bowen. Assistant Adjutant General. Measure* r>u be Taken to Avoid the Cliulera. Washimgton, Sept 1.—Ample power exlsta in the federal govern ment to keep out persons who are likely to bring in the dreaded cholera. Its policy is to co-operate with the state governments, but where a state is negligent or inefficient the federal government may step in. This is the view taken by the attorney general and other members of the administra tion. It has been made known since the discovery of cholera on the Ham burg vessel Moravia. The president cannot stop or turn back immigrants merely because they are immigrants. As has been truly said, he has no power to suspend the immigration laws as such, but he has the power to keep out all persons who may be suspected as infected. The federal authorities who think this power may have to be exercised scout the notion that it would be effective by simply applying to steerage nassen gers. They point out that wherever an epidemic may start, its ravages are never limited to any particular class and the contagion may be soread by first-class passengers from Europe just as well as by a steerage passenger. In ail the measures that have been takeD this has been kept in mind. Clilra$<> M ill tliiarantinp. Chicago. 111.. Sept. 2—Chicago will establish quarantine regulations against immigrants having this city as their objective point and immigrants in transit for the west will not be Der mitted to leave their cars in passing through the city. lhi» extreme mens* ure has the authoritative sanction of the city council and the department of health and the earnest commendation of representative physicians. ST. LOUIS EXPOSITION.' GILMORE, WITH ONE HUNDRED MUSICIANS, COMINa Ormid Opening or tlie 8h Lonli Expo sition—success or tlie lllumlnntions nnd Klectrlcnl Cnuornum—Other At tractions St. Loris, Sept. 1.—This is the sec ond night of the street illuminations, which will be repeated on Saturday and Slonday, and also on Sept. 15, 22, and 2D, as well as on Oet. 1, 4, 0, 13, and 20. The display to-day was far grander even than that of last week, every set piece, panorama and arch having been carefully overhauled, and improvements made in the arrange ment, and apparatus wherever thought advisable. The city is full of visitors, and tourists are arriving every day from all parts of the continent and also from Europe. The special rail road rates are greatly increasing the attendance and the carnival of 1892 has already made itself a marked suc cess us well ns a distinct feature in national as well as local history. The SI* Louis electric car system is admit tedly the finest in the world, but it has been taxed to the utmost this afternoon and evening. A large num ber of new cars are being constructed and deliveries are expected immedi ately. BANDMASTER GILMORE. A telegram from Col. P. S. Gilmore announces that he will arrive here next Wednesday afternoon with his band of 100 pieces in time to open the Exposition that evening. This is the ninth annual exposition, and its eight successful seasons easily break all rec ords, and disprove the oft-repeated as sertion that it is impossible to main tain interest in a local enterprise of this kind. Last year's attendance was | the largest recorded, and the indica tions point to still greater success this year. A band composed'of 100 skilled mu sicians, each a soloist of established reputation, is something the world has seldom seen or heard, and the advent of Gilmore’s band in the West marks a distinct epoch in musical annals. The great bandmaster completes an engage ment in New York Tuesday morning, and a special train with banners and streamers will bring him and his 100 players to the metropolis of the West and Southwest. The Gilmore concerts will be given daily until Oct. 22, and the modest admission fee of 25 cents in cludes these concerts, as well as the grand displays of manufactured and ornamental goods, the art gallery with its thousands of valuable and choice paintings, the electrical exhibition, and, indeed, every feature of the mam moth entertainment. A number of other attractions are announced and the program is a very brilliant one. ’I he Nebraska Reitiirvey. Washington, Sept. 3. —Senator Paddock had another protracted con ference at the interior department about the Nebraska resurvey. Assist ant Secretary Chandler informed him that the law branch of the department insisted that no resurveys could be made until unanimous consent was re ceived from all parlies interested agreeing to waive damages in case of changes of lines. From Grant county ail such consents, except six, have come, and upon receipt of these the exterior lines of the county will be run as promised Senator Paddock last week. The senator succeeded in hav ing a sum of money set aside to meet the requirements of the other counties, to be expended as soon as consents were obtained. It will be necessary to have these before the department will order the duplication of Drevious work. A 'I iVfiity llnjr*’ 1 linlern quarantine. Washington, D. C.. Sept 2.—Pres ident Harrison reached Washington yesterday. The president met Secre- j tary of the Treasury Foster and At- : torney General Miller, the oniy mem bers of the cabinet in the city, to con sult with reference to the cholera sit uation. Assistant Secretary Spaulding of the treasury department ana Dr. Wyman, surgeon general of the Ma rine hospital service, were also pres ent. After an hour's deliberation it was decided not to issue a proclamation now. but to issue a special circular. The circular wiii be issued by the Treasury department. It will amount practically to a twenty days’ quaran tine of vessels, or longer if necessary. It will be coupled with the provision that it will be enforced where not in eontrovention to stale laws. The is suance may be delayed somewhat owing to the desire of the department to publish at the same time the opin ion of the attorney general on the question of certain rights of the gov ernment in the matter which it is thought should accomuany the circu lar. The Treasury department will have the national quarantine at the Dela ware Breakwater and Cape Charles, Virginia furnished with revenue cut ters to assist in preventing the intro duction of cholera bv those routes. The condemned steamer Crawford at Cape Charles has been fitted up as a. hospital to be used in case of need. The twenty days' quarintine to be declared in the proposed circular will apply to vessels from all ports, but the sanitary officers will be allowed to ex ercise discretion in the cases of those coming from noninfected ports with clear bills of health. The effect of' the circular will be 10 discourage im migration, as the steamship compa nies will not be willing to lose money by bringing over immigrants and sup porting them so long in port. It will also be a notice to foreign govern ments that immigration for the pres-, ent is undesirable. The governor of Michigan has tele graphed to the secretary of the treas ury asking that an additional force of' medical inspectors be detailed along the state border to assist the immi grant inspectors already, on duty. Anthorlt)' <if the President. Washington, Sept. 2—Attorney General Miller submitted an opiniom to the president as to the authority of the executive in matters of quarantine regulations. The opinion reviews the various acts, of congress on the subject ahd con cludes as follows: '-My conclusion is that the surgeon general of the marine hospital service ana the secretary of the treasury, with your approval, have authority to make needful rules and regulations, not inconsistent with the state laws and regulations, for the quarantining of ships coming into our harbors with a view to the protection of the health and lives of the people." No Fusion In *out!i Dakota, Chamberlain, S. D., Sept. 3.—The democratic state convention met here yesterday. W. G. Quigley was made temporary and afterwards made per. manent chairman. The proposition to endorse the people's party electors was defeated. Peter Couch man' of Wal worth county was nominated for gov ernor. The electors nominated are: F. B: Morgan of Bon Hofnine county, Charles Keith of Brookings. John Burke of Codaington and John La Fabre of Kapid City. The balance of the ticket is as follows: For lieuten ant governor, S. A. Ramsey; for sec* retary of state, J. L. Norris; for treas urer, George Culver; for attorney gen eral H. C. Walsh; for auditor, J. E. Zeibach; for congressmen. Cnauncey Wood and Mr. Wicber. The platform demands the resubmission of the pro hibition question to the voters of the state, denounces the republican. Pink erton assassins, strongly endorses tariff reform and touches upon various other questions of interest to the state only. The convention was a very enthusias tic one every mention of Cleveland and Stevenson being loudly cheered. Found the “Lo«l < nblii” Mine. Deadwooi* S. D., Sept. 3.—Will iam S. Dany came into this city yes terday, bringing with him several thousand dollars’ worth of gold nug gets and a number of specimens of ore fairly bristling with panicles of gold. Dany is a prospector and claims to have found the celebrated “Lost Cabin” mine, of which so much that is romantic has been written and printed in every, modern language. His story is that two weeks ago, while hunting in the western part of the Black Hills, he stumbled into what he at first supposed was a small cave, but which, upon subsequent investigation,' proved to be a room 20x30 feet and of an average height of seven feet rudely hewn out of solid rock by human hands. This room he first discovered to con tain the skeleton of a human being which, exciting his curiosity, induced a search that was rewarded by finding gold nuggets of an aggregate value of $25,000. The place was many miles from settlement and he remained until a week ago. searching for the mine from which the nuggets came. He claims to have found it and states that the ore he has was taken from it The fact that Dany had so much gold with him lends plausibility to the story, which is creating a great deal of ix citemeat and will cause numerous prospecting parties to start out to night. It is not probable they will find the mine, however, as Daney re fuses to locate it any more definitely than by saying it is about fifty miles from Deadwood. in the western part of the Black Hills.
