Thrco stalwart Indians clad in heavy
woolen blankets , cast oil' tllos , and with
the smell of n last year's tepee upon their
garments , Invaded the second story of
the capltol building yesterday and ap-
pro.iched the open door to the executive
department. For seine reason every
reservation Indian m Nebraska has taken
a great liking to Governor Thayer , and
the venerable appearance of the gov
ernor has undoubtedly Inspired the
children of nature with the impression
that ho is the greatest chief that has ever
held council in the state , and each band
of traveling rod men , who come ana sit
upon thu body brussells at the executive
oilice , undoubtedly return to their homes
with complimentary reference to the
great chief , that immediately starts
others on a pilgrimage. The governor
has treated all these native visitors in the
kindliest manner , as is hia custom with
all visitors , and it has brought them out
in force this summer. Some days the re-
ceptiou room has appeared like n council
of war , adozon hearty bucks being seated
on the lloor , and they never inuko their
visits short , for begging is generally
good about the state house.
There is a smell that lingers for days
after a visit from a delegation , and it re-
the utmost vigilance of Captain
Siires got the rooms aired in time for
the next delegation. The three who
arrived yesterday were of more than
us'ual note , as ignorant of , English as the
wildest , and the chief drew from the
breast pocket ot his coat an ancient
broadcloth , that had done society work
in Omaha a well-worn envelope that
hold an equally well-worn parchment ,
whicli , upon being unfolded , proved to
be the written treaty made betveen the
government and the Omaha In
dians in 1825. while the braves ,
disdaining the chairs proffered , seated
themselves upon the lloor , the newspaper
men present examined the faded parch
ment , and it proved to bo the original
document well preserved for sixtv odd
yearn. A note to the governor explained
to that oillcial that the chief wanted it
copied , as it was worn so badly , and
after many gyrations and gesticulations ,
the braves were made to understand that
It would bo done and that they
should return on the following
day. The treaty is an interesting
one historically and remarkably well
preserved. It was made ot Fort Atkinson
and bore date of attestation , October 0 ,
1880. This Fort Atkinson was at the
point afterward designated as Fort Cal-
noun in VVashington county. The treaty ,
after reciting in a long preamble trie
mutual admiration each race had for the
other , stipulated in detail what each
party to the agreement should do. The
white men were to establish a trading
post , to assist thorn In protection from
native enemies , and the Indians were to
refrain from numerous depredations , the
principal of which seemed to be horse
stealing. On Uio part of the government
the treaty was signed by Brigadier Gen
eral II. Atkinson and Benjamin O. Ful
ton , adjutant. Michael Burdcau made
his mark as interpreter , and a long row
of the names of chiefs with the meaning
of their names followed. Some of these
names and moaning are worth repro
duction. For example : Opatoga , the big
elk ; Ohoshingo , the man that cooks little
in a small kettle ; Shongisca , the white
horse ; Tarvottco , the side of a buffalo ;
Mohpemanec. the man that lays on his
arrows few the number that pierce him.
The old document would make a valu
able addition to relics for the State His
torical society.
CONUEUNING THE PAVING.
There are a great many criticisms on
the slow progress in paving floating
around , that are uncalled for as against
the contractors. The council agreed
upon , and asked bids upon a certain Col
orado stone for guttering , and it is im
possible to procure the material with
, any speed at nil. Contractor of the work ,
Mr. Clark , is ready and willing to pro
ceed with the wort with any other stone
the city may select , and if the city does
not want to change there is no recourse
only to get the stone when it can bo so-
cured. Thus far only a small amount
has been received , and the loss is direct
to the contractors as they iiavo men
ready for work and all other materials
on the ground waiting. The curbing
that has been received is rapidly going
in place , and cement for the concrete is
stored in the city ready for tbo founda
tion. The contractor liai received and
has en the grounds over 400 car loads
of cedar block and the machinery is in
place ready to cut them just as soon and
as speedily as they can bo laid. The
ottbrt is now in order to devise mnans to
get the required stone or something its
equal and with that material scoured
there can bo no further delay ,

Ills Views on the Ute Uprising War
like Preparation ! ! .
General Crook , commander of the Department -
partmont of the Pintle , returned last
evening. Ton days ago ho went with
Lieutenant Kennon to Fort AlcKinnoy
and other points and returned by way efFort
Fort Robinson , reaching hero at the
time mentioned , His arrival had been
expected about noon yesterday and n
van was sent to the depot to meet him ,
but the general did not arrive.
Last evening Captain Hay , who , daring
the absence of Generals Crook and Brcck
has boon acting its adjutant general , with
several friends , met General Crook at the
Chicago , St. Paul , Minneapolis & Omaha
depot. The commander of the Platlo
was looking well , his face show
ing the bronze the result of ex
posure to the sun of the mountains.
The general was afterwards mot by n
Br.K reporter , lln said that ho had vis
ited Fort MeKinney and several other
localities and had returned by way of
FortU obinson. He had heard nothing
of the uprising of the Utns until ho
reached Blair that evening , when n copy
of the BEE was shown him. He then
read the account which this paper pub
lished yesterday morning concerning the
trouble with the Ute.s in the vicinity efFort
Fort Dnchesnc. The general had already
started on his way homo and had thus
missed the telegrams which had been ad
dressed to him by Captain Hay and
others.
When seen by the reporter for the BEE
the general had not had time to rest , but
said to the writer that ho was unable to
foresee what would bo the result of this
uprising of the Utos.
"I have not been very lamiliar with the
Utcs , having had but little to do with
them , " saiil the general. "In the cam
paign of 1ST ! ) I had some Utes as scouts
against the Sioux and other tribes , and
two or three of these I mot a few days
ngo.'when I was out in that vicinity. I
have not yet decided what I shall do with
respect to the uprising of the Utes , except
to put our forces in readiness and await
developments. We do not know where
those Indians have gene , and consequently
quently can not bo expected to find them.
Wo shall be compelled to await serious
thrcatenings of outrages before we in
voke the authority of the law , and thus
far we have no notification that they
have committed any depredations. Wo
are holding ail the available troops in
readiness , however , and these will
bo able to reach the scene
of any depredation in two days
while the most distant would require but
three days to reach the scene of hostil
ities. Wo have eight companies ot the
Sixth infantry nt tort Douglas , ready to
move at any moment : also , one troop of
the Ninth cavalry and two puck trains at
Fort Russell ; also two companies of the
Twenty-first infantry nt tort Bridger ,
and four companies of the Twenty-tirst
infantry at Fort Steele , and two of the
Twenty-ninth at Duchcsno. I have not
investigated the matter , but I think that
it is true that Colorow has not been on
the agency since the killing of Morrit
some time ago. They have as a consequence
quence begun to feel that they cannot bo
whipped and this fact possibly has en
couraged thorn to an outbreak. You ask
if 1 shall take command in the .event of
light. I must say that that depends on
circumstances. "
COLONEL HKNRY.
Colonel Henry , Inspector of rifle prac
tice of this department , who was in the
campaign against the Utes after the
massacre of Thornburgand his comrades
and the murder of Agent Merritt , said
that if it was true that the Utcs had
broken out , it would not be a matter
simply of a day to put them down. They
wore armed with the most approved
rilles , and the roughness of their country
was such that they could safely defy an
army to dislodge them. Their fastnesses
are full of deep canyons , which were
covered with grass sufllcient to provide
for their ponies for many a month , while
their position would enable them to hold
an army at bay for a long time. Besides
the ! colonel had no doubt that the Utes
were on friendly terms with the
Mormons , and it was a known fact , that ,
in the event of war. they would receive
assistance from their polygamous neigh
bors. The Utes were not prnirio Indians
They would take to their mountains and
nothing loss than a campaign could dis
lodge them. The Utes wore mountain
Indians and could not bo expected to
give open battle , and would require the
work of both the infantry and cavalry.
In winter the canyons would bo packed
with snow.and it would be still moro dif.
ficult to attempt to roach thorn. They
differed from the Sioux and Apaohes ,
especially in cunning , and would yield to
nobody. General Hatch , the present
auditor , vouched for the truth of these
assertions.
MYSTERIOUSLY MISSING.
Disappearance of an Omaha Buslnn8
Han A Boy'it Unknown Fate.
The disappearance of George J. Am-
brust from this city is still as much of a
mystery as it was the day bo vanished so
unaccountably from the sight and knowl
edge of his friends. The anxiety of his
family has grown to a pninful degree
and every effort to determine his where
abouts is being mado. Mr. Armbrust is
ilvo feet four inches In height , is thirty-
ono Years old , weighs about 140 pounds ,
, is of light complexion , has light hair and
a faeo quito smooth , save for a light
moustache. At the time of his disap
pearance ho were a gray alpaca coat and
vest , gray striped pants and brown straw
hat aud had a gold watch and chain. Ho
was last seen in Omaha on Monday ,
August B , about noon and in Council
Bluffs Tuesday afternoon. Is thought to
have straved away while suffering from
mental aberration , although now it seems
probable that he was foully dealt with.
Any Information that may bo had re
? garding him should bo communicated to
Airs. George J. Armbrust. 12303 Cuming
street , Omaha , or to the Omaha chief of
, police. The newspapers of Iowa and
- Nebraska will plcaso copy.
imOWNKU OK KIDNAPPED.
Air. and Airs. Louis Bokempcr , who
live on the corner of Pine and Third
as streets , are suffering much anxiety over
the probable fats of their eight-year-old
, son Harry , who mysteriously disappeared
ain on Monday , August 1. On the af
inm ternoon or that day Harry , in
m company with his older brother
id Willio. aged twelve , and a boy named
Lou Waiuus , left for the river , which Is
o- about two blocks from tbo house. The
110 two older boys got into a boat and started
( for the Iowa side , leaving Harry stand
3fUS ing on a drift log anchored in the mud
US along the shore. This was the last scon
id of him. On reaching the Iowa side thn
ri- boys could sco thrco persons where they
,1R had left Harry , but could not distinguish
liea who they wero. Harry had a straw hat
a on his head , and as two of the parties ob
nCO served had straw hats the anxious par
CO ents are disposed to believe that one of
Ir.uo these persons was Harry and that be wag
uo enticed away by the other two. H is
1C- more probable that he foil from the log
aud wna borisu away by the swift cur-
rout. The lad is surely thu victim of an
ICt nceldont or of the villainous designs of
IS unknown parties , as no child of that ago
ey would voluntarily remain away from
vo homo so long.

SAVED PnOSTUE WUECK.
A Survivor of the Ghataworth Horror
In Omaha.
Frank Wiodorholm , a survivor of the
oeont Chatsworth disaster , was in the
ity a few hours yesterday. Hoi \ an in-
clllgcnt young business man ot Hudson ,
Vis. , a town on the Northwestern about
wcnty miles from Almnoapolls , and was
n his way home.
At the time of the Chatsworth accident
Viederholm was in the smoking car ,
which was among the ( irst to go through
ho bridge. After the great crash was
vor ho found himself pinned in the
vrcck , but the seat which lay across his
ack had saved him from serious Injury.
Jencath him was a mother and child
oth dead , crushed by a truck , while the
cad and dying were Crowded and
tressed in upon him from all sides.
Shortly after being released from the
vrock Wiedcrholui examined the bridge ,
lo is strongly of the opinion that the lire
vas the work of an incendiary. Ho says
ho bridge bore plain evidence of having
lad a lire built on top of the trestle , and
hut the flames had slowly worked down
ward on the bridge supports , consuming
hem at the top and scarcely scorching
hem at the base. Ono of the supports
lad boon cut over half waj through with
in axe , the marks being very plain , al-
hough an attempt had apparently been
made to conceal them by holding some
uirning substance against the hacked
mrts. It thus appeared to him that it
vas the work of train robbers who had
made their work doubly sure. Upon
jolng asked if ho saw any of the thieves
) lying their work , ho replied that ho had
iot. but had beard a good many com-
> laints from those who had been robbed.
Wlcdcrholm bore as a souvenir of tie !
lisater.a long wound on the fornhpad.
Xhcrwlse , outside of a few slight bruises ,
10 was unharmed.

Baron Sellllcro'and Ilia Offspring.
NEW Sonic , August 13. In a talk with
ho Tribune reporter yesterday , Prlnco Do
Talleyrand , sou of the Princess Do Sagan ,
said concerning his , uncle , Baron Sollllero :
'I ' think It is well some relative should be
near him , and as Lam the eldest son and
mlr of Princess De Sagan , 1 am about the
most Influential relative ho has. Commander
9. Ullman and I will go on to Newport
where Baron Sollllere Is staying to-morrow.
L shall probably travel a little. 1 wish to see
Niagara falls , and I shall probably tro as far
as San Francisco. The baron Is a sane man ,
and his confinement In an asylum was slm
ily the result of a disagreement with
L'rlncess Do Sagan on mouev matters. I
narrowly escaped being confined In a private
asylum myself by my mother about six yearn
ago. My uncle lias had a mistress , in fact
iwo , and bos had somn children. Wishing
to recognize these like an honest man , he has
made provision for thornbut he has ccrtaiulr
not been married. It is one woman at
Boulogne who IH making all this nosio , and
lie pays her 3,000 francs a month. What
more could she expect ? "
Tortuiras Island For Sal * .
NEW Yomc , August 13. [ .Special Tele
gram to the BRK. | The Herald says that
Commander D. Ullmann and frinnds ad
van cad the S 10,000 which Haytl needed some
time ago to induce England to withdraw her
throat to selzo Tortugas Island. Ullmann
now claims to bo In possession of the Island
which would make a valuable canal station
nnd proposes to offer the Island to the United
States , llo believes that If the United States
assumes dominion of the Island It will at
once give to Us material development no
great an Impetus that he will be a good deal
moro than compensated for the cession , lie
accordingly will otTer to pay the Unitei
States a very larjjo. sum out of the Un > t pro-
proceeds that he expects to derive from cut-
tin ? nnd Rale or valuable timber with which
the Island Is covered , lie also intends to In
vite by every liberal moans immigration
from Ireland and elsewhere. He said last
night : "The Ilaytlon government ha :
signed an agreement or treaty with mo glv
Ing me full right and authority to bell Tortu
gas. A strong prejudice against European
powers exist In Haytl , but 1 anticipate no
opposition whatever to cession to the United
States. "
The iMttsbure Fire.
Pirrsnuitu , August 13. The big flro ot
last night was entirely under control at 3Xi : !
this morning , but at 10 this morning engines
were still playing on the ruins , The build
ings entirely destroyed were the Masonic
temple , Hamilton block , Campbell & Dick's
carpet warehouse , and a number of tene
ments on Virgin alley. The upper
floors of Schmidt & Friday's nine-
story structure was gutted and
the balance of the building water soaked.
The Despatch and I'enny Press buildings
were badly damaged by water. Nothing
definite about the loss Is yet known , hut U is
bolmvi'd that last night's estimate of
31,000,000 Is not exaggerated. The casualty
reported was a fatal accident to a man
named John Keolo , of Allegheny , who was
assisting thu firemen.
A careful estimate made , puts thn loss at
8500,000 , with total Insurance about 8560,000.

declined to apologize for his action , as be
was requested to do by the archbishop , who
waincd him not to repeat bis otfense. Ills
hardly possible that the trouble Is ended ; In

It has only fairly begun.
