The resurrection of the palace hotel schoino causes very little surprise , as its periodical appearance is regarded very much as a matter of course , yet tor some reason those who have buou hoard to express themselves seem to place more confidence In it than in any of the schemes of this kind previously advanuid. The location on the Woodbury - bury corner is regarded as in every way the best that could bo secured , and gives general satisfaction. It is con ceded thai the erection and successful operation of such n structure as that proposed would cto moro for Council BlulTs than any other ono thing that could bo secured. Almost without ex ception the business men favor the plan most heartily and express the opinion that the right parties have at last taken liold of it. The amount necessary to purchase this site was once subscribed , ind it is thought that it can again bo secured moro easily than at lirst , as the plan proposed , that of utilizing the en- lire ground lloor for the hotel ro tunda , reading rooms , etc. , is moro satisfactory than that of renting i portion of it for store purposes.

"What's the with the maUci : new city liallV" was the inquiry made of Alder man Lacy yesterday. "It will have to take a rest until the 1st of January , " ' was the reply. "Wo got a little too fast , and it won'c come up at the November election. You sco , wo couldn't vote the bonds this year , as our assessed valuation is only about & 1COO,000 , but next year it will bo over $0,000,000. Wo can got at it as soon after the llrst of the year as wo want to. I don't know whether wo will call a special election or wait until the regu lar spring election. A special election will not cost very much and will result in saving about three months' time , but that matter can bo determined later. A now city hall is sadly needed , and the extra time that must neces sarily ensue before an election can bo had will undoubtedly bo sulllciont to convince the citizens that it should bo built.

Thompson , suporlntondont of the American District Telegraph com pany , is lying in a very precarious coa lition ut his homo , No. 74ft Ilorkimor street , Brooklyn , the result of witness ing the horrlblo death of Ltnoman Peeks among the electric wires nt Con- Lor nnd Chambers street , tills city , b'ridav nftornoon , says tlio Now York World. M r. Thompson saw the lineman - man hanging in the wires , and for some imo watched lite terrible agonies. When Mr. Thompson reached his olllco on Montnguo street , Brooklyn , ho told what ho had witnessed to the clerks , nnd then wont into the rcnr ofllco and related the story to President Hassan ( I. Wheeler. Just as ho was finishing lie was seized with convulsions , and would have fallen had not Mr. Wheeler caught him. "Mr. Thompson was Very much excited - cited when ho came in , and his discrip- tlon was so vivid that it made mo shud der. " said Mr. Wheeler to n World re porter yesterday. "lie had just said , 'Thoro ' were thousands of people look ing on at that poor fellow's sufferings and nnt one dared to venture up the polo to release him.1 When ho leaned forward. ' with his teeth sot nnd his hands clinched , I thought ho was illus trating the actions of tlio dying line man. Then ho staggered nnd I realized that ho was ill. Jumping from my chair ut the desk , I cnughthim as ho was fall ing and 1 placed him upon tlio floor. " The reporter saw Dr. Little , who said that Mr. Thompson had received an apoplectic stroke , brought on l.-y the excitement and shock of what ho had witnessed in Now York , and that ho would probably ilio.

While Mr. Edison has boon greatly honored by all classes ot Frenchmen , and leading citizens have vied in con ferring distinctions upon him , says a Paris correspondent of the New York Tribune , Mr. P.tsteur and Dr. Brown- Sequard have not boon so fortunate. The papers hero never showed great confidence in tlio reinvigorating virtues of Dr. Brown-Sequard's elixir. They admitted that the aged doctor , who is really seventy-two years old and looUed as much , had courageously experi mented witli his ollxir on himself. But they showed that the pop ularity which the elixir achieved was ' prima'rily due to Dr. Variot , who first announced that ho had tried the elixir on some of his patients witli great suc cess. Unkind critics have hinted that Variot reported in this way to bid for the influence of Dr. Brown-Sequard in tlio French Academy of Medicine , n.s well as to secure the custom of decrepit people anxious to recover the strength of youth. They allege als-o that Dr. Variot some years ago attached his name to a quack specific for destroying marks of tattooing , and that his experi ments with the elixir were made by him as otlicial physician of the Central inlirmary of the state prisons upon poor and ignorant people , and not in the presence of other doctors. Pasteur has fared oven worse with a minority of his countrymen. While It is true that a splendid building was erected in which ho might prosecute his researches with regard to hydro phobia , it is also true that violent oppo sition was shown in thoParis municipal council against making any grant for such a purpose. IIo has , moreover , just been snubbed in his native place , the town of Arbois , in the department of Jura , whore the municipal council has decided by a vote of 12 to 4 that the Rue Pasteur should lese its name and bo called hereafter Rue do la Garo , or "Depot street.

A remedy for diphtheria is given ns follows : Take ton gralnsof permangan ate of pottassium nnd mix with ono ounce of cold water. As soon as dis solved it must bo applied with a rag or sponge mop or swab to the whitish places in the tonsils , nnd other parts that have the diphtheria membrane on. Do this very gently , but thoroughly , every thrco hours until bettor ; then every six hours until well. It docs not give" pain , but is rather nauseous to the taste. If the tongue is coated white I mix ono drachm of hyposulphite of soda and live drops of oil sassafras in four ounces of syrup made of sugar and hot water , and give a teaspoonful every ono to three hours us needed , when awake. If the tongue Is not coated white I mix twenty drops of tincture of phytolacca in four ounces of cold water , and glvo a teaspoonful - spoonful o very ono to three hours , as needed , when awake. Tlio phylolacca is the common poke root of the south , and as It loses its strength by drying and ago , the tincture should bo from tlio frouh root or It is worthless. It is well to apply a little sweet oil or cosmollno to the outside of the throat to protect from the action of the air , as the patient must bo protected from all danger of getting chilled. In the beginning of the disease in mild cases the above solution of per manganate of potassium Is all I use , and that is needed , as the disease is local nt drat , but rapidly alTocts the whole sys tem when soated. In the stinking form of diphtheria this solution soon destroys all smell , and in every case it destroys the diphtheria membrane without leav ing any hud olloot behind. neccham'B Pills act Uko maKlo on u weak stomach.

THE COAT FOUND THE COLD , i Singular Dlaoovory of the Ramahoru Mluo In Idaho. DEVELOPED BY OMAHA MEN. What Idaho's Mining Interests Own To Capital nmt Knterprlna From Nobrailcn's AlotrnnolU llnrtl AVtn- tors Hut Delightful SHiiiiners , Idaho IMIncs. CLAYTON , Idaho , Oct. 19. [ Special to TUB But ! . ] From the earliest history of Omuhn her citizens Imvo boon noted for their on orgy iitul enterprise In reaching out Into now Holds of business. I Imvo lately boon looking over the work of seine of Omtiha't ) well known citizens fnr up in the mountains of Idaho , which will interest seine of tlioir many friends. All through the moun tains a email incident may give tv name to n locality , and it is from such that many odd names have boon given to towns and mining districts. Years ago , when this part of Idaho was overrun with Indians , so hostile that white men staid away , a man mounted on a largo bay horse passed lirough the country und reaching Salmon City , told of campingono night on a crcoic where ho saw indications of gold. Although nearly a hundred miles away , the country then was so little known , and minors wore so eager for "olncor.8" that n , prospecting party was soon on the way thither. All they know about the place was what the unknown man with a "bay horso" hud told the in , and the description was so plain that they found no trouble In going to the spot , outside of the hard climbing over hills , through dcop gorges and the lording of the river. Once there , they named the crook and gulch Bay Ilorso , but found no placer gold to pay for their trouble , but there was lots of such game * as door , boar , gouts and sheep. Climbing to the top of a mountain skirting the crook , a mountain sheep was started up , and running eloso to the precipice was pierced by a ball from the unerring aim of n rifle nnd ho fell fnr below. The hunter soon made his way down to the animal and was rewarded , not only by finding a prize of excellent venison , but the sheep had struck and knocked on" some galena ore with his horns. The animal had not only uncovered some of the riches of this mountain , but his horns and the incident suggested the name for the GKUAT HAMSnOUN MINK which has since yielded millions in silver , gold and Iqnd. This was some ten or twelve years ago , and when the country was only reached by saddle and pack animals. Now there are good roads and great trains of wagons , while stage lines makoaccoss , easy. Jt was soon after this singular dis covery of a mine that Omaha men began to take an interest hero. Rich ores trom the Itanishorn mine sent to Omaha for smelting attracted attention , and E. \V. Nnsh , Captain C. B. Rustin , General W. W. Lowe , A. T. Crook , Messrs. Bar ton , Wallace , and others , became inter ested in this country and their money put in operation a' smelter at the town of Bay Ilorso. This has since passed into other hands and been developed into considerable prominence , while the Omaha men have opened up u very suc cessful plant for smelting ores at Clay ton , eighteen miles farther up Salmon river. To do this General Lowe , Captain Rustin and others went there by trail and built wagon roads and bridges costing several thousand dollars , which the com pany afterwards donated to the gen eral public. More than this , they have developed the country , giving employ ment to hundreds of men , built other roads , and the present company , made up chtelly of Omaha men , is sending to Omaha a regular stream of rich bullion for rcllnement. To do this requires a line of great freight teams between Clayton and Kotchum , the nearest rail way point , distant eighty miles. Those teams of sixteen or eighteen mules draw four wagons , loaded with about forty thousand pounds of freight , such as coke , mining supplies and goods , when coming in , while bullion furnishes their loads going hack. They operate a half dozen mines and oxvn two orthreo times that number of mining claims. When Gonornl Lowe and Captain Rustin wore here they worked as only the ADVANCB QUAUD OF AX AllMY can , with all the disadvantages of being far in advance of supplies , but they laid the foundations for enterprises to last for many years to come. Mining'horo is only in its infancy , oven if the lodes have given up millions in value during the past ton or fifteen years. New pro cesses of smelting and the still more im portant one of concentrating ores to save cost of transportation and smelling has done much for this district , and now only a railway is needed to give very rapid development. Lot mo attempt a description of the country. Nearly ono hundred miles to the southwest the great Sawtooth range in its trend northward forms the rim of the basin drained by Salmon rivor. At an elevation of 10,000 foot above the sea , winter storms store away the supply which supplies this river , a big , rapid stream , during all the balance of the year. Even at this elevation prospectors have found min eral lodges , inviting minors who have been for years delving in the rocks and despoiling the dense timber in the gulches and mountain sides. Three winters ago n friend kept the record of storms , snow fall' nnd temperature. That winter's exp9rionco was onougli for him , and in early March ho walked out on snow shoes' , resolved not to re turn agali : to spend a winter thoro. Eighty-six days' continuous snows , measuring as it foil over ninety foot in the aggregate , and packing down to nine foot on the level ; seventy-eight day * in which th'o sun was soon but twice , und fifty-thrpo days without a ray to cast a shadow , pprtninly was onoutrh to make life gloomy , and yet there was the added dancer of being in the track of a great snow slide , should ono start in that locality. , T3ut go there in the bright days of summer and the HCOIIO is enchanting. Great meadows of native grasses , enough trees to enliven the landscape , ( lowers everywhere , uu nt- mosphoro pure , clear and oxhiloratlng , while numerous streams of limpid , cold water , Illled with trout , and several beautiful lakes make this a delightful summer retort for pleasure. Even in the warmest days the elevation und grout patches of snow on the hills make a warm flro and heavy blan kets comfortable at night' . Bear , door , wolves , antelope , fish , ducks and goose arc so plentiful as to oiler rare sport to huntsmen. It Is over 1,000 miles by the Columbia , Snuico and Salmon rivers to this land , from the Pacific , and yet salmon trout nnd big salmon come all the way hero from the ocoun to spawn. At times the river is fairly alive with these migratory fish , whllo Inter , about this time of the year , the shore Is liupd with dead ones. ] iii : > FISH TAKIS. : Near the head waters of Salmon river , of which there are two nt ono place and Another n few miles distant , are real curiosities. The ono best known as Red Fish lake is a deep chasm in Lnho gulch , nonr the town of Sawtooth. It Is nearly a mile wide nnd tliroo miles long , with water so clear as to show sea or water weeds forty feet down. Its great est depth is not known , slnco a halt- milo line failed to reach the bottom or give signs of the ' 'boh" having struck it. The curious feature giving the Inko Its iiiimo is the appearance about the 10th of August each year of myriads of red fish twelve to sixteen inches long which swarm in the lake , and rush up the crook a few miles. After spawning nnd remaining in the lake nnd crcnk until in October , such as do tint die disappear as suddenly as they camo. Going down Salmon river ono is purl of the time in a broad val ley , but occasionally this narrows into a dilllcult canon. A friend four years ago had a small silver stamp mill which ho wanted to remove up the river only fourteen miles. It could not bo taken over a narrow trail and there was no road , so it was loaded on wagons nnd taken by a roundabout course of roads OVUIl THUMB 1IUNDUKD > IlI/iS. This incident illustrates the diffi culties of mountain travel. It is dllTor- ont now since such men as have boon spoken of in this letter have con structed roads by blasting out the rocks nnd building bridges , making more di rect routes of travel. There is no more delightful country to camp out in , hunt , fish and enjoy grand seonory than along Salmon river , from its rise in tl.o Sawtooth mountains down to its union with Snake river , amid the canons piercing the rugged mountains of the Seven Devils country , over live hundred miles from where the melting snow starts on Its way to the son. Most of this distance , on either side , the moun tains are either clothed with pine and fir trees , or else have fissures Illled with minerals that will seine day be ex tracted and enter into the commerce of the world. Around Buy Ilorso , Clayton , In the Yankco Fork country ( a tribu tary to the Salmon ) , many mines have boon opened and become profitable , while there is a country around two by thren hundred miles in extent so inac cessible that but little is known of the great wealth it contains. This vast region is destined to fall under the scrutiny of prospectors , and in view of the wonders already revealed wo are at a loss to calculate what wo may expect in its development. M.
