THE OMAHA DAILY BBEV THURSDAY MAY 9 , 18S9. f A Day at the Great Dakota Sani tarium of Hot Springs. THE TERRITORY OF THE SIOUX " \Vnlkn , Driven , Ilntlia , hoKondn anil orilio Most Do- ItcnnrtH in ttio Country , A lny of I'Jcnsuro. The excursionists nroso early at Huffalo Gap , on their way to Hot Snnnqs , bccnuso Jim StcphcnRon. the mnitor of transporta tion , \vii up with the lark. Ills liorsos were hitched to tliq conches and the Inttcr wcro filled In an Instant although , these who had Bccurud Benin on the top of tlio vehicles wcro greatly on vied by these underneath. Two moro local coaches were added to the list and , when all the party had taken their cats , the whips cracked and the Impatient horses started off ut a lively Kiilt through the silent strocls of the city. The town hatl not yut uwoko from its slumbers. Wo wcro nn hour ahead of tlmo , thouph II. K. Thomp- BOH , M. Alexander , A. T. Vnndcrvoort , of the committee on rccectlon were on hand to tncot us , The monotony of the rldo was destroyed when wo hud passed the limits of the city. Thcro wcro no painful stretches of level pralrlo extending to the horizon. The view always terminated In n rmijro of bluffs , the summits merged In tha clouds In a BTBRP , I'llKCIHTOUfi WALL of stone which lined the roadway. Hut the 'RP.IRH was crccn , the ground suomud most fertile , mid whcro wheat wus sown , as it was in many places , it seemed well advanced mid full of promise. The drlvo led over fords , by running streams , up sleepy hills and down again Into valleys in which the early nun rendured almost supcrlluous the wraps which were ap preciated on the hill tops. There wan no lack of variety in the drive , because almost every turn on the road revealed now beau ties. There wcro castellated buttcs , parti colored walls In rigid and VtiwiiiR lines of nature's pencilling , displaying all the wealth nnd variely of color which , wo are told , dis tinguish Homoof the festivals abroad , whcro thu'pcoplo hang from their windows and balconies the heirloom tapestries which they liavo treasured for generations. At almost rcculnr intervals wo noticed the claim house of the Bottler , only nfmv _ of which , however , were occupiedshowing that the claimant was taking possession of the land without actually establishing his abiding place upon It. All the country , however , was taken up nnd our party congratulated the sottlcrs whom they considered to have selected souioof the tlucst land In the country. The scene , the air , the drlvo was most fascinating. It had 1T3 EFFECT Ul'ON P.VnilYIlODT. The man who had not cracked n Joke In a generation scattered jokes around with prodigal lavlshr.ess : Tim man who had sat In nothing but n cushioned iirm-chalr for years , revelled in the board roof of the coach and lot his neither limbs dangle over the side with the unconcern of n child. The most prosaio gentleman in the party was happy only when ho could toot the horn in BO mo unsuspecting car or use it to attract the attention of some -demure bovine which had just como into view. The party had been metamorphosed into children who needed only the space to Induluo in the old- time ulcofiurcs of "tag" and "blind-man's buff. " At length the Hotel Minnoknhta , kept by F. D. Glilcsplo , Is reached , the distance from Buffalo Gup having been tnado iu about an hour nnd a half. It is n long , two-story frame structure , ivith balconies all arounil. with a baeulng- rock several hundred foot In height. The party strolls about the beautiful grounds , their fancy being taken with a murmuring stream as clear as n Colorado atmosphere on a sunny day so clear , in fact , that some of the sceptics pronounce it to bo something clso thau water. The stream rushes by with u tireless energy , heedless of the remarks made about It , and wo follow ' It until wo reach an overhanging rock , where n gentleman treats everybody to a glass of dn7zllng liquid which gushes from a cavern In the hillside. TIII3 L1QUOU 18 TASTELESS , though its olTect seems to bo exhilarating. It Is not intoxicating , but the effect produced it Is diiHcult to describe. Wo are told that Its temperature is ninety degrees but wo are not nblo to distinguish it. JVltn sharpened appetites wo go to break fast , u meal prepared ami served iu Mlllard stylo. There is not a demure person around the board. The air of freedom and vivacity becomes contagious , and the other guests , who have como hero to Imtho in and quad the waters for remedial effects , enter heart ily Into the spirit of the occasion. Mr. Babcock - cock , of the Northwestern , loads in the hilarity , and an excellent leader ho Is when ho makes up his mind to it. Thou to the baths. These are built on the Bite of the old Indian bathing place , though much moro extensive now than they were When Lonu Wolf and Timid Dove poured libations upon their dusky forms. Hero is still the Indian bath-tub howu out of the solid rock , through the bottom of which , llko a blessing from fairy land , gushes this , stream of purity and almost of life. It is piped nnd leu to rooms provided with every accommodation , t > omo of the baths being huge rocks hewn to the conventional form. The place Is heated by steam for the accom modation of Invalids. But , as wo have none such among our pleasure seekers , the steam is shut oil , yet the temperature of the place makes us perspire. Wo now receive the warmth of the water. No soap Is used , a fact Which is not readily appreciated by our party. Wo gradually ncituowledgo it , how ever , as ono after the other emerges from his room , admitting that ho feels fresher , happier , moro bouyant and younger than ho over did coming from a bath in his lifo. The experience of our party , however. Is not the hluhcBt tribute which may bo paid ' C3 T1I'S WOJflJUIIPUL WJLTEB There uro hero volumes llllcd with the testi mony of "Incurables" who have found life and vigor In this priceless stream , The category of ills banished ranges from these that are nameless , and comprehending some that are unpronounceable to that great phiguo of plagues , rheumatism , In all Its forms. People have been cured hero who loft Arkansas In despair. Besides , the stir- roujidlitga nro most cheerful , the place is nearer homo and the expanse is only nominal in a comparative sense. Another attraction Is the charm of Indian association , tradition und legend which still lingers about the place. It mantles the mountain tops , pervades the plains and sports In the merry waters of the stream. Turn where you may , you see in Imagina tion the contending tribes , their tepee vil- ages , their wooing young loves , or their last resting places. On Itattlo mountain you nro told of the la t struggle made for the possession of the JIlIls. In which the Sioux wcro victorious , lloro nro the r.umwrts of rook thrown up by thu Cheyonncs behind which they were be yond the reach of the litio or tlio arrow of the Sioux on a plateau beneath. Hut they had no mean * of drawing off tlio enemy by whom they wore Invested ; neither had they moans of egress or moans of supplying tluunsclvcb with the necessaries of lifo. The battle was , therefore , utmost bloodless , tin til starvation having laid many n wnrrlor low , the Sioux rushed upon their victims and despatched them in llomllsh triumph. But ono Cnoycniifl9iwas spared. It was a papoose not moro than seven days old. The light was still in the little berry 1)1(0 ) eyes , when that in its mother' * went out under the cruel tomahawk. Some angel , for a moment , must have stayed THK MUHDKItOUS HAND of some ruthless Sioux , because the little ono t uw to womanhood , married a imlo fiico r.nd her children , who are located in 'several parts of the territory , to-day rev erent/bless ! her memory. On the wall * of granlto bulow this scone , at once of utrifo und tenderness are painted in the fashion of the Indian artist ubout forty musket * , which toll of the resting place of the vanquished Chrycnnes. Then there nro the tepee stones. In rlivti. lar form , allowing thill at pno tlmo thorn must liavo been here a Sioux city of won drous dl'nenflons. Then no'ir murmuring pines and hemlocks U the cave of the winds , nliuady explored to a diutanca of two miles , und in many respects initially the Mammoth cave of Kentucky , From the mouth nf this cavern there la u rush of wind which llmls Httlu dinicully Iu llmllng its way through the average whUUers. Thcro uro also the lone wells ono rouait. nd thu other square , about two hundred Ufit i depth uud 100 foot Iu dlumeter. TUo jotlom of ono of these seems suddenly to liavo dropped out of It , Then there Is alia , he plno canon , the elephant's head carved by nature , overhanging cliffs , gushing springs , genial temperature nnd n sky ot al most Sicilian purity nnd beauty. Leading directly to the front of the hotel WiwIlaknhUi canon. Through this winds the Falling Water nnd on the bank wo nnd ; ho Lover's Leap , became no romantic spot Is without a characteristic of this kind. The tale as It It told by Judge Dudley who was formerly n resident of Omnhn but who Is now domesticated hero , in substance- n follows : Moiictara was a Cheyenne maiden , It In presumed of comely form and figure. The legendaries , at all events , Invested her with moro of the charms that wo nro wont. In these degenerate days , to Impart to the dusky nbarlglucs. She was very young nnd straying through the woods , came upon Willintahpa , a youthful hero of the deadly Sioux. tun TIMIUI , HATH , nowKvnn. did not dominate ttio ncart of the young man , at least as regards hit fair foe , be cause , "so the old men toll , " ' the pair re turned to the tepees of the Sioux. Monotnrn was witunut father or mother , nnd the attention shown her by the young bravo alienated her tribal love and induced her to accept nn abode In the midst of the heredi tary enemies of her people. The consequence quence of this domestication was the plightIng - Ing In love of Mcnctara nnd Willintahpa. The lather of the bravo , an implacable nnd .rcachcrous enemy of the Cheycnncs , dis countenanced the mating , though the mother favored It with nil ttio tenderness of n mother's heart. The night before the nuptials arrived. The light of iifcohlo moon Illumined the village , Thoyoung man had Just paid his last visit to Ills afllanccd and started to his tepee to wait Im patiently for the dawning. Before Mcnetarn : ould enter her nbodo she was seized by an liorculonn form which had been hidden In Lho shadows , gagged and berne with licet feet through the tcpco lines , through the surrounding forest out to the ledge , which io this day stands outlined against the sky Hue a pedestal In a Grecian temple. Against Lho determined savage the olTorts of the weakly maiden were unavailing. The shelv ing was reaohoil and the abductor for a mo ment stood up erect. Ho then raised his Imrdon high above his head and the next in stant the maiden SHOT ritou ins OUASP out over the river and down Into the current which was rapidly rolling below. The restraint having been removed from tbo woman's mouth , a long , ilorclng scream echoed and re-echoed throughout the hills , and the next instant the young savage , Wllllntnhpa , was upon the tmwo whom ho cleft from crown to shoulder blade. The father had died by the son's ' liand , as the prospective bndo had died by Lhoso of the murdered savage , who could not brook his blood intermingling with that of his foe. With the clrl's name upon his lips , Wll- [ Intahpa leaped from the rocks to the abyss bcne.ith where all was ruin. Whether the spirits of these lovers over afterwards mot k problematical , but their names are Indissolubly - solubly ussoeiatud m various ways with this oft told legend. Uolow the town of Hot Springs , which is soon to enjoy the benefits of a $45,000 sol diers' home , and n $20,000 Methodist college , nro the Minnokahta falls. These nro several hundred feet in length , nnd of the most beau tiful description. The water Hews over a bed of sold rock worn into channels and pools of countless shapes , directions and sizes. Some of the pools sconi like entrances to Avernus. In the channels worn by the fric tion of ages the water rushes llko n cord of emerald of various sizes , while in some of tlio shallows the bed-rock bus the mottled and velvety richness of n tiger mat. A great part of the river-bed is dry , but when cov ered with rapidly rushing water , as it is in springtime , the effect must bo inspiring. Our people disposed themselves upon the roclcs and were photographed. The artist , Charles Csusar , asked what name should be given to the place , and W. A. L. Gibbon sug gested ' 'Brady's Leap. " This was because of u step which the latter had made upon n surface of brown nlimo , which was mistaken for rocic , and which allowed the gentlomau to disappear a number of feet. Wo again took our stages , nnd as the evening sun was disappearing in the west , ranched Buffalo Gap , where a warm recep tion awaited us. E. A. O'BitiE.v. THE COUNT * COJ13I1SSIONEKS. An Extra Session of the Honrtl Hold Yesterday Afternoon. An extra session of the board of county commissioners was hold , yesterday after noon , at which County Attorney Mahoney stated in a communication that u young woman by the nauio of Nettie Evord , had in formed him that she had been inducoJ to come to this city under the promise of a situation in a restaurant.

Regarding the re quest of the board , asking for u r'iport as to the condition of the work on the hospital , the superintendent said it would require con siderable time to investigate the building , and wanted a week to maka a full report. Ho submitted a statement of a portion of the work , which , in his opinion , was necessary in order to keep parts of the building from falling down. Ills recommendations uro ns follows : Tlio putting in of four or moro one-inch tie rods rods across the extreme end * of the north and south corridors with proper washers ; the putting In of tie rods across various parts of the corridors to keep arches in place , fifty In all at a cost of about f 100.

Mr. Coots stated that ho had cal'od ' tlio attention of the contractors to several places where poor work had been done , and that they showed u disposition to remedy tbo defects. The superintendent had also been called upon by the foreman of the Htoam heating wnrk for instructions in relation to running steam pipes. The superintendent stated that the plans wcro to nut tbo boilers on the sur face of thu collar lloor at the end of ttio build ing now in rear of No. (1 ( , and to put in u re ceiving tank and steam pump. Tills plan would allow the return pipes being laid under the collar bottom nnd would cost WOO. Another plan was to' have both the supply and return pipes pUcoit ( n a trench under the collar bottom , with brleir side walls nnd corrugtod Iron cover , and to build an addi tion in the shape of n loan-to shed on the noi th sldo of tlio same building nnd to place the boilers with their fronts setting over the present north wall ; ulsn to shove up the building ami uiuler-pln it on three sides with a wall cloven feet below whcro It is now , ami to oxcavatn the whole to a depth of cloven feet lower than it is at present.

The su perintendent alho * nll ( that MoNamara had boon an inmate of tlm poor farm for a year and a half , uud as the man had no relatives to wUoui ibo money would go , he reeoia- mended that the amount bo turned over to the county , ns the money would revert to the state.

The strike of the stone cutters began here a year ago has been declared off , and the men permitted to go to work at the old wages 15 cents an hour. They demanded 5U cents per hour. There ore now about two hundred stone cutters at work In the city. There are various ways of washing dishes possibly the above is the worst. If you want your dishes , glassware , Silver , &c. , perfectly clean and bright , wash them with Pearline. Being a powder it is especially convenient for this work besides it keeps the dish-rag clean , pure , sweet. Put Pearline in sinks and basins , turn on hot water ; it will cleanse the waste pipes. Many women use Pearline for these purposes only ; they are only half wise. For the laundry , kitchen and house-cleaning , in fact wher ever soap is used , try Pearline it's better , quicker , and saves labor it has no equal , no rival.
