KIPPING THE COUNTRY O'ER. [he Board of Trade BExcursion Takés in Chadron. VIEWING BEAUTEOUS LANDSCAPE Dmaha's Travelers Received Every- where With Open Arms—The Conches and Horses Uas loaded For a Spin, On the Road. Cmapnox, Neb., April 24.—[Specal to frux Bre.|—A ride of an hour after sunrise n the 234 inst. brought the party to Long ine. When the excursionists first looked rom the coach windows they were passing hrough & country as uninviting as could well be imagined. It was rolieved at inter- vals of miles only by the sod house or more wrotched dug-out of some dauntless settler. he soil was neither white nor black. It scemed to be undergoing the change hich, as 18 well known, has changed cer. in_parts of Nebraska from a desert into a garden, How a human being could muster Up courage to settle upon the vast expanse nd uwait.such a change; how a railrond Bompany sould decido upon building its line through such a country, were questions yhich agitated the minds' of many of the arty, And yet, the travelors had not trav- rsed one-sixth of the country they had re- solved to visit. . At times, however, the road ran_through ‘oions of rich loam, which were rapidly eing put under cultivation, These invar- bly evoked hearty appreciation from the arty. In" this manner, passing _alternately ghrough barren and productive stretches, reon pines secemed to spring from the earth ike magic, and in o few minutes the party disembarked at Long Pine, All of them had not reached the platform efore Major John Burke, general manager or Buffalo Bill's Wild West show, appeared and announced that he was on his Way, with hundred Indians, for Cody’s show in Paris. Ho desired to know if the board wanted to ee them, and was informed that it would be 08t pleased to do s Anothor train, east bound, an_ adjoining track. Two cars train were filled with warriors, squaws and pappooses. The warriors ‘were marshaled in columns of fours and ;]dpnsv. the Omaha men on the platform. ‘hey were hideously painted in red, green and yollow, and their hair was braided, parted, coiled, interwoven with gaudy col ored ribbons and ornamented with feathers of various kinds. They were covercd with dark blue blankets with wampuin adornment pf many designs, moceasins trimmed in the P.xne manner, the worlk of the semi-savige }ho train rushed 1nto a section in which dark stood on of this earers themselves, They were cheered by ne board s they marched past, and it peemed as if the stern-visaged braves appre- fated the reception. As they returned up Eh'\ platform, one word from Major Burke rought out a_peculiar shrill though not un- leasant cry from the Indians, which was onstrued as a_recognition of the greeting corded them by the travelers, The braves ero then led back to their car. The reason ho ladies of the party did not appear was ecause man, of them had not ot completed their toilets, though me of them, to judge from tne highly colored and mottled complexions hey had given themselves had almost ap- roached the desired condition of irresisti- ility, Major Burke was delighted with the op- ortunity he had of introducing his charges 0 the board of trade and remar that ho hought it was a v happy coincidence. ‘You are going into the Black Hills, paid to the party, “‘and the Indians are Jug it. They huve succumbed to the civiliza- tion of the new world and are now going to the old to prove what you aund other white ple have done for them.” It was cer- nly 8 happy feature to notice the control pue white man could and did ha ver so many wild men, who, but a few y 20, wera on the warpath with a thirst for ps Lnoo blood, Among the Major's party were 1d Rockicg Bear, Red Shirt, No Neck and Medicine Horse. »The ma- jor's train started and the board re- aired to breakfast, a meal in Ehuwurfl, which, 8o far as it went, would ave done credit to Delmonico’s. A commiytee of Long Piners, consisting of R}euru. Glover, Davison, Paul, O'Brien, eade, Malloy, Burger, Hess, Winter and McMonigle, received the party, and car- ‘ringes were provided which took them to the Chautauqua grounds. There are but a half mile from the town, but they can not be seen because they lie in a canon, the bottom of which is not less than two hundred and fifty feet beneath the surface of the sur- rounding country. Many of the members of the board had not been greatly in favor of visiting the place, and did so with great reluctance. When they had got to the place they declared they would not have missed it for a forwne. There was certainly reason for their change of sentiment, because the grounds are the most picturesque and naturally imposing to be en in the st They comprise a section of @ canon nearly six miles in length and consist of about oue hundred acres, They must have been formed it one of nature's most capricious moments. The visitor is fairly upon them before he realizes that there is the slightest break in the surface of the prai- rie. Then he discovers on the opposite side of the gorge beetling cliffs of chalk-like clay which faicly glisten in the sun. At intervals these are broken and steep and sinuous in- clines lead up to the country beyond. Gi- gantic pines and trees of wainut, ironwood, msh, elm, hickory and cedar abound. All 8av0 the nlna; are now comparitively free of Yoliage, though in season are said to afford wmost gratoful shade and lend {mpart to the scene a beauty almost indescribable. We drive down one of the approaches, which has been made in & most primitive fashion, and turning sharply at when the bot- tom of the ravine is reached, the party at a glance comprchend new beauties in tho Boene. A little stream, clear as crystal and usical as the whisper of innocent child- Eoml. meanders through the gorg It flows ith an energy which shows an impelling nowor of some magnitude because its ripples inger only for a moment and then wre lost further down the course. the stream is onc which falls and never freezes in the winter, He xplains these facts by the statement that 0 stream is fod by streams, the supply of syhich is consta ‘This supply comes I the heart of thejchulic-like cliffs around. No matter how dry or how wet the eason _ no dimunition or increase in he flow takes place. As a consequence, the base of the cliffs is marked by a water line, which it has doubtless been followed for years. One of theso springs Was found at.the base of u rugged hill, from Which it gushed in a limpid stream which threw the party into rapture. There was no pup with:which to drink the water, yet the desire to imbibe was too great to be sot aside. Accordingly Dr. McIenna strucica primitive sttitude on all fours above the d uaffed the water as flowed bene: is example was emul:ied by nearly every member of th3 jarty. o stream is dammed in several places and supplies motive power for threo grist ills owned by three millers named Glover, Eyloll and Kaynor, respectively, That of Mygott's Is situated nearly a mile frow the streum and the power is supplied by a cable operated ht‘ @ wheel in the glen, Phe possibilities of this canou as a ploas- Our guide tells us never rises, never ure resort, or Chuutauqua grounds, for which | ‘nur it Is_now used, are veally wonderful, [t has been utilized but two years, and scarcely unything has been done to metlow Its rugged beauty.

Here tho train stopped on our y departure from the town, and the party shot down the steep hillside and at its e found seven streams gushing from as many aper- tures in the dry banks of clay. Here the arty bocame unusually demonstrative and ilarious, a diversion which they abandoned, however, when they beheld Charley Cmsar's camera _directed upon them from the_ beetling cliffs facing the sorings. At Atkinson, the party were driven around the place, which is as flat as a checker board. The town points with pride to its new brick court house and school house, and Tne Bre's escort was shown the old Crook sod house, a reminder of the ranch of that name. The log cabin of Leroy King, who, years ago, held down the claim on which the town is built, was also pointed out. At'Valentine, Jim Stephenson again took his coaches off the cars and the party were driven to Fort Niobrara, four and three. quarter miles distant. Two miles of the dis- tance was through a sandy soil. The rest of the road was in good condition, and the greys and roans sped along as if imbued with the spirits which inspired the tourists. The at- mosphore was clear, the sky almost cloud- less and the wind from the north was tem- pered with a genial sun. Nulhiu¥ more de- !lnlll!ul could be desired. John Brady said he had been at work in the grocery business for twenty-five years. The ride was ac- cordingly the greatest recreation of his lifs. He fairly reveled in the drive, the scenery, the bracing atmosphere--everything. So did evory other member of the ;vnrri;‘. After nscending o slight rise in the road, Fort Nio- brara came into view, with the sheen of the silvery Niobrara river flowing beside it and the rock buttes and_pine-studded bluffs of Dakota behind it. It was at length reached, and up past the officer’s quarters, the conches rattled to the residence of the commander, General Kautz —The fort is built of adobe or sun-dried brick. The buildings have consequently a Scraggy but comfortable appearance. Most of thein are kept in excellent condition. They are all of one story, with shingled roofs sloping, seemingly, to all directions of the compass. The shingles, in the sun, assumed o dull glow, as if the roofs were covered with lead. The party paid their respects to the general, who graciously reccived the members in his parlor. He had not been apprised of their coming, a circumstance which occasioned, he said, some regret, because he would gladly have ordered out his command in honor of the event. Ho expressed himself delighted with the visit and hoped the party would do him the lonor to call again on their return from the Hills. Max Meyer introduced the callers to the general, and W. N, Babeock, of the North- ‘western, explained the circumstances of the call and that it had not been expected to do moro than visit the fort and pay respects to himself. The cozy home of the general, with its bric-a-brac, statuettes, oil paintings, nearly all of the lattor being the work of Mrs, Kautz: rugs, rare cushions and divans, were universaily admired by the party. ¥ arty were introduced 1o Major Wil- heim, Captain Erost, Lieutenant Bingham, Lieutenant Krug and J. M. Thatcher, who occupies the position of post trader. A’ visit was made to the club rooms where refresh- ments were served. Then the coaches rolled from the grounds, the occupants cheering a number of colored soldicrs as they passed. Valentine was again reached without acci- dent and the members of the company who had not partaken of dinner before going to the fort then satisfied their appetites. The sorving was slow, and on inspiration by Mr. Chase, Max Meyer assisted the overworked waiters and was liberally “‘tipped”’ by some of the party. E. A. O'BRIEN. At Crawford and Fort Robinson. Crawrorp, Neb., April 24.—|Speeial Tele gram to T Beg.]—Promptly at 2:30 engine 41, conveying the train bearing the Omaha voard of trado, wheeled into line at Fort Robinson, where they werc the recipients of a hearty reception at the hands of the post commund, under the jurisdiction of Gereral James S. Brisbin, After a short but enjo; op at this point the train left wiord, where the visiting delogation was welcomed and presented with the freedom of the city by about one thousand of its pro- gressive citizens. The hotels, store and live stables presenled gratis vheir various wares to the visiting delegation. The Fort Robinson band uccompanied the tourists to this point, and discoursed fine music. An itinerant artist photographed the excur- sionists and the train, The boaad at this place huve made an everlasting impression in favor of the progressiveaess of Omaha and its citizens, A Young Visitor, Ayoung ladwamed Jimmy Mitcholl crawled outof a B. & M. freight car at the local depot, yesterday afternoon, and was arrested by tho police.

The judges, the lawyors, and everybody else in the district court seemed to be on- thused yosterpay with an unusual spirit of fun. Judge Baldwin gave up his privilege of arguing a motion for anew trial in the suit of Mrs. Caroline Michles against Mont- gomery & Adams, saying that he preferred taking some other course to sccurc his money. The fact is he had forgotten to file his matter, and Judge Groff said it bad sur- prised him very much. Turning to Con- nell, Baldwin inquired when the saloonists could be expected o pay. Another sult, entitled Mack against Duggan, which has been on the bulletin all term, was called. County Attorney Mahoney, representing the plaintiff, sid it could be continued to next term. His honor indicated slight disapproval, whorougon Mahonoy said he had boen ready once for trial, but tho ovher side was not. “1 remember that,” replied the judge, “and think you took thém by surprise then to such an extent that they have not yet recovered.’” The caso of Patrick Ford, as admimstra- tor for the estate of James Delaney, de- ceased, uguinst the Union _Pacific road for damagos in tho sum of $1,950, is being tried by Judge Doano and a jury. On the 6th of October, 1877, while driving across the rail road tracks on Q street in South Omaha, De- lany was run into by a traiu and lalled. Judge Doano worked in o sly thrust at General Webster yesterda; A number of cases in which the latter is interested were called up, and on the statement of other at- torneys that the general could not be here, were continued, *I believe he is going away to-day,” said one attorney. *‘Yes," replied the judge, “*he is going on important national business.” The Gate City Land company has com- pienced suit against Charles H. Hibbs for £1,275, @ sum cluimed by them as due from bim on three purchases of town lota. “The jury will be discharged on Friday.

Beer glasses and razors were flying in the air last night in Laura Mack's bagnio, at ‘Twelfth and Davenport streets. The place is a dive, and its inmates comprise a lot of colored prostitutes. Three of tne debased females were playing a juggling act with two beer glasses and a razor, duriug which a man was horribly cut. The victim of the affray was E. J. Will iams, a hotel porter of the Bostwick house at Hastings. Williams is & young whito man of respectable appearance. He came to Omaha to have a time, and selected this ‘4oint" for one of the resorts to visit. Ho had only 50 cents when he arrived at the disreputable place, and the negresses in- formed him that that amount of money would buy them a small bottle. They drank a pmt of beer. Williams protested “against such luxury with the last half dollar he pos- sessed. A fight ensued ana the young man who had been accustomed to tossing londed, double trunks down two flights of stairs was struck in half a dozen places over the head with the glasses, apparently all at the same time. He imagined that a crockory store had turned loose on him, Beforo he “could turn around, and while trying to defend himself, one of the women slashed him across the left wrist with & razor. The main artery was cut and he oame near bleeding to death. He also received a long gash across the forehead and a decp cut in the back of the head, the result of the beer glass blows. Williams was thrown out on the sidewalk and was picked up by a po- liceman and sent to police headquarters, where a physician was summoned to dress his_wounds. Three of the prostitutes were arrested and locked up. Thoy are notorious women in police circles. SOUTH OMAHA NEWS.

Time Plumed for the Contest, Among the many spectators at the Coli- sougn last night were six bright apd cheerful young ladies, whose facos were not unfamil- iarto most of the audicnce. They took a hearty interest in the frantic struggles of the amateur bykers. Five of these six bright creatures had arrived from Chicago during the day, fresh from the scenes of a notable record breaking contest, which closed at Battery D last Saturduy evening before an immense audience, and are known 1o fame as “HBeauty ' Baldwin, Jessie Woous, Kittie Brown, Hattie Lewis and Jessic Oakos —the latter now being the eighteen-hour chumpion of the world by virtue of her re- makabte ride of 2555 miles in that time, “This feat beats Miss Willlaws, performance | variably tending toward blues.

AS ARTISTS SEE THEM, New York Critics on Traveling Stylos in Men's Dress, A writer for the Men'’s Outfitter has been interviewing a few of the leading artists in New York on the s ect of the prevailing fashions in men’s dress, Mr. William Hart said among other things: “Itegarding the present fashions in men’s dress is not pleasing to the artis- vie eye. It certainly is not beautiful, and besides this it is, with now and then an exception, not becoming. Your hat- ter tells you that a silk hat of a certain shape is the style, and you must wear it, irrespective of the fact that its lines are out of harmony with the lines of your face. If it were left to the good artist to create modes in dress h would certainly banish the ‘stove pipe’ hat.” **And what hat in current use comes nearest your idea, Mr. Hart?” “The sort worn by Mr. William F. Cody (Buffalo Bill). It is full of soft lines, and can by a touch here and there by the wearer be made very becoming to almost any face. Regarding the selection of colors 1n nockwe Mr. Hart said: *Too much proference 1s given by mostmen to what arve called rage s One should wear the color th: suitable to him, irrespective of what is the style.

He requires light colors, in- nin eties of blondes can indulge in the pinks. Black and white are, of course, safe for all complexions. Too much white — unrelieved white, that i figures in gentlemen’sevening costume. The plain white shirt bosom 18 a shape: form, destitute of artistic matt Then theve so much of it to steal away the interest that belongs to the face, especially it is surrounded by intense black, which makes the bosom extra conspicuous and distracting. Lf the bosom were ruflled it would provide the eye of the onlooker with what the artist calls suggestive matter. The embroidered shirt bosom I like because the-decorations, though destitute of life and color, serve somewhat to relicve the monotony of plain white.” Mr. S. J. Guy was asked by the writer what he thought, from an artistic stand- point. of modern dress. ‘‘Iigad,” he re- sponded,**it’s mostubominable,anything but a treat to the eye; not in one single detail is it really picturesque. It isn’t from an artistic standpoint. Could thore be anything more hideous than a hard, stiff shirt-bosom, a straight ex- panse of white with nothing to relic it? Of course, we now and then see a tucked and embroidered bosom, but the majority of men, except for evening dross wear, ave timid about adopting them. The fancy-putterned flannel and calico shirts are a relief to the eye, but we get them only in the summer.

It is on the biggest of these, callod by the sailor Benjamin Island; after himself, that ho has taken up his home.
