YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK, August 21.—[Special to THe Bek]— Leaving Omaha Thursday, August 8, the Union Pacific-Stepenson conching party arrived at the Yellowstone the following Monday evening. From Omaha to the park was a most enjoya~ ble trip, and every place of interest along the route was designated by that pioneer stage man, Colonel James Btephenson, while Clarence Brown and Colonel J. A. 8. Reed, of the Union Pacific, busied themselves in pointing out the scenery along the famous route. Leaving Omaha, and for a dis- tance of nearly six hundred miles, we were wheeled through the inviting agricultural district of Nebraska. Large fields of corn abounded in every direction as far as the eye could reach, and shocks and stacks of small grain dotted the fields. It is evident that the home demand of these products will not only be supplied, but that Sioux City can rest assured that she will have ample material for her corn hive. It is sufe to state that the general grain vield of Nebraska this year will be equal to amy of its predecess in average, while the acreage is much larger than in any preceding year. When the western boundary of Ne- braska is crossed it appears as if ull the elements of civilization and enterprise HAD BEEN LEFT BEHIND, Formilesand miles you travel through arid lands as void of vegetation ns the desert of Atacama. It grows somewhat monotonous, but as we darted over the vast prairies, and now and anon shot through & mountain gorge several his- torical places were reached. First was Fort Steele, a point near Rawlins, Wyo., where the blue-coats formerly held forth, and about which there hangs much undeveloped history of a criminal character. The fort is no longer o pied by the regulars, and, like Babylon, wild beasts are making their homes within its walls. The skull of a human being, possibly that of a once ‘“‘way- ward’’ Indian, is stationed on a post in the center of the barracks, and it is said that this was used in early days to terrorize the savages. At night it was placed ubout a quarter of a mile from the post in a gorge, through which ac- cess was furnished the Indians under cover of the shrubbery, and aminiature lamp with a crimson globe was PLACED INSIDE THE SKULL, The red light, visible only where the eyes properly belonged, brought out many an arrow from the quiver. and many an Inlian is said to have fled with fright after having driven an ar- row at it without effect, believing that it might be an advance guard of his Satanic majesty. Another stretch of country is passed and Rock Springs is reached. This country, though apparently worthless, abounds with, coal, much of the pro- duct of which dispels the frigid atmos- phere of many a fire-side in the city of Omaha. It was at this place that the terrible Chinese massacree occurred, Rock Springs 1s alsoa Wyoming han lot, but the indications are that it will at no distant day be the metropolis of theldistrict comprising the highlands of the west. Next we found ourselves creeping through the mountains at an altitude of 10,000 feet. Here is where the scenery of the Rockies begins to appear in all its grandeur. One mo- ment you are being propelled through a tunnel enclosed by huge rocks, the next you are rounding s curve with mountains thousands of feet in height on one side and a yawning chasm below on the other. This is a source of great enjoyment to the ‘‘way-backs,” but to one that is making the initial trip it isanything but pleasant. An ap- roach of this character lands the tour- st in Idaho. Idaho, in Indian parlance, signifies “Gem of the Mountains.” Judging {from that portion of the territory traversed by the Union Pacific it is & gem in crude form. But, as regards the scenery, it perhaps surpnsses that of any district in the munuane sphere. The mountains, with their receding in- clines and lofty peaks present an im- osing sight to the eye, while the huge Enrren rocks strongly contrast with the timid violets and green foliage that bloom and fade in the valleys and be- side the mountain streams below. Beaver Cuanon, a small hamlet at the base of the main range of the Rocky mountains, is now reached. This is the place where the Pullman palace car was abandoned, and the tourists were placed on bosrd the gay Concord stages. Attached to each were 2 81X PRANCING STEEDS that awaited the command of the driver to “‘Take-er-up.” Tho stages used on this occasion were those of the Western Stage line outfit, busking under the cognomens of ‘‘James Stephenson” and “Thomas L. Kimball” The party dined at the hotel, and while the coach was being prepared for an overland journey to the Yellowstone, atrip wus made abcut the city. In just one hour after the train steamed into the station Colonel James Stephenso claricn tones pierced the mounta air as he mounted the vehicle pearing his name and yel “all aboard.” Beaver Canyon is about one hundred miles from the low basin of the Yellow- stone, and the territory intervening is anything but densely inhabited. ‘I'he distance veing 100 miles, a two days’ drive was required to span the gap be- tween the designated nuvn\u of civiliza- tion, Leaving Beaver Canon, after a drive of twenty miles, the party stopped for dinner at a beautiful spout in the famous Camasmeadows. Though at an attitude of 8,000 feet the atmosphero was delightful, and the meadow grasses were verdant. Hard by our camp was Camas creek, a beautiful mountain stream, while to the west was the pie- turesque Oswagan, o vine-clad promi- tory, where Nez Pierce, the great In- dian chieftian, from whom a tribe and nation derived their names, often CALLED HIS WARRIORS TOGETHER. Owing to the pleasant surroundings and the fact that the stage horses need rest 08 well as the tourists, it was decided to remain that night where the tents were spread. After luncheon we perambu- lated about the campus, escorted by Colonel Stephenson, who took particu- lar pains to designate every point of iuterest. Several expert marksmen were among the party, amoug whom was br. W. D, Smouse, of Des Moines, The *kill-or-cure” man’ shouldered his gun and went forth as a relentles warrior bound on the destruction of life at any hazard. Game can be found in unlimited quantity ranging from the u:.igo that twivers from be- hind the rushes in the stream, to the ponderous elk that roams about the prai. rie,and n few of the ‘‘oldest inhabi- tants,” the buffalo, were seen. In one hour's time the ‘‘mountaineer” re- turned to the camnp, he had neither the ‘‘cross nor the albatross,”but he brought ina consignment of prairie chickens that helped to make upa sumptuous meal on that evening. Sunday morning another start was made and a twenty-five mile drive brought us to the Snake river.in amber stream noted especially for 1ts intricate windings, This is the midway point between Beaver canon and the Yellow- stone park. Our camping utensils were again unfurled and a sumptuous repast was sorved. A stoo of a few hours was made during which time the tourists succeeded in pulling in a string of speckled trout that would make the tra- ditional lone fisherman green with envy. Among the gentler sox that constituted the party, Miss Millic Stephenson proved herself to be THE MOST EXPERT ANGLER by bringing into camp some fine speci- mens of brook trout. And still another surprise was enjoyed, when another wing of the party returned from a short trip up the mountains with the flank of an elk. They did not acquire the credid of slaying the fleet-footed animal, but they boasted of their ability to make a favor- able impression upon the mountaineer. At this point Messrs. Caldwell, O'Don- nell und Kooch, a trio of pioneers, who remain in charge of the way-station during the summer season, tendered their hospitality, and better and more courtcous treatment never wasreceived. These gentlemen make a business of es- corting tourists through the mountains and around the impregnable forests. v have resided on Snake river for nearly a quarter of a century, and are familiar with every stream, mountain and point of interest to the tourists throughout the west. 1In the bosoms of the sturdy mountaineers we found hearts tender yet stern. They know nothing of the busy world, never see a newspaper, and care but for the welfare of their dog, horse and eun, and the people that are placed in their chargs to be pilotted through the uninhabited wilds. The trip from Snake river to tLe Yel- lowstone park could not have been made under more favorable circumstanc First a broad level was crossed. About every five miles a mountain rivulet with crystal waters was reached. The bed of the streams were solid gravel, and but little inconvenience was realized in fordiny. After leaving the plateau, the main range of the Rocky mountains was reached, and the ascent was begun. Gradually the horses wound their way toward the summit. First a steep in- cline: again a yawning chasm; again a mountain gorge; and still again a dense growth of mountain pine impregnable even to the eye. This comprises the mountain route. The stages rocked backward and forward and at times it appeared as though they would DEPOSIT THEIR PRECIOUS CARGO in the canons thousands of feet below. But the drivers were men of experi- ence, and while some of the passengers that were nervously inclined were con- siderable frightened, the journey was muae without mishap. At last we reached the Yellowstone park in all its pristine magnificence. It 18 nature’s camping ground. Theve is but little to indicate the existence of art. Those who came here with the iden that they are about to see a coun- terpart of the hanging gardens of Baby- lon, came out to be disappointed. On the outskirts of the park neglect is om- nipresent. What would and should be the finest forest park in the world is covered to the depth of several feet with broken timber that has accumulated from storms dat- ing back several centuries ago. And this is the beautiful Yellowstone that occupies such & prominent attitude in the list of summer and pleasure resorts. Those who inhabit the park state that it would be an utter 1mpossibility to clean up the debris, and yet they frankly admit that until this is done the forestry of the park will be but a small feature of its attractions. There are but few driveways in the park, the principal. one being the road cut through the forest by General Howard and his men at the time they were en- deavoring to effect the capture of Sit- ting Bull and his band in their retrcat from the Little Big Horn mountains, where they had but a few duys prior. shed the blood of General Custer and 100 of his brave companions. General Howard provided his artillery with but a rough road through the park, as he had no time to spare in which to heau- tify or perfect his work, there has been NO IMPROVEMENT SINCE THAT TIME. The average tourist is provided firearms of some description, but is di- vested of them as soon as he enters upon the domain of Uncle Sam. A detach- ment of troops is maintained at the park and everything is kept un- aer strict military discipline under instructions from the secretary of the intori On a log cabin at River Side was a plackard containing the rules sued under the authority of L. Q. C. Lamar. This was stationed in north- western section of the park, at which a detachment of regulars is quartered to preside over the destiny of the game in that section. It was at this place that our party was divested of arms and am- unition.” This part of the baggage is taken into custody, and is returned to the visitors when they come out again. The discharge of fire arms of any kind , or the maiming of game, or the defac- ing of any material-in the park is strictly forbidden. The sale of liquor is ulso strictly forbidden, but the traffic is carried on surreptitiously. Liquors can be had in quant f'nnd any variety, my next letter I will tell you all about the geyers and the freaks of na- ture as they are found here: and also how the story avout blackmail by the soldiers originated.

What a Newspaper Man Saw in a Western State, When I first went to Dakota fts so- ciety was still 1n a formative state, says o writer in the New York Mercury. People were drifting in from all parts of the planet, and there was a conse- auent confusion of tongues, of ideas, of laws, of customs, that is inconceivable in the old staid communities of our sun- rige states. 1 had settled for a spell 1n a Seandina- vian town--the master majority of the people in the country, however. being American, and it was the latter class of citizens, of course, 1 relied upon to sup- port my paper,for very few of the Norse- men could read a line of our languag: One day, while I was sitting in my office, a young Swede came in and h esi- tated half way between my desk and the threshold.

To see twelve or fifteen acres of dry Jand on a hillside high above the water level gradually sink until they go down pbelow the surrounding territory depth ranging from three to si isan exceedingly remarkable thing, says the Richmond Dispitch. This is what may now be seen on Spring Hill, Mr. W. B. Gatling’s farm of 800 acres, which is located on the west side of the Appomattox riv about five miles below the city of P tersburg. According to Edward B. Gatling jr., of this city, u son of the owner of the estate, who hus just turned from a visit home, there was an uption” on this farm about a mouth ago which had some semblunce of a voleano, but after the upheaval there was neither lava, smoke nor fire. This was followed by a fissure in the ground, small at first, but which opencd gr: ually until it w three feet wide, 1 then came this depression, which is gomewhutalarming in its character und extent, On the sunken area were oaks 100 feet high and numerous other trees of gigantic proportions. which have sunk as they grew, leaving only the tops of the branches peering above the wulls. The sinking of the earth carried with it about twelve or fift cres of land, leaving an ugly looking wall us solid a8 granite on either side, varying from nlmze to sixty feet, perfectly perpendic- ular, The upheaval of a few wecks ago oc- curred at the upper end of this hillside, and following it appeared a crack or fissure in the ground which was at first small, but which widened gradually un- til it became three feet or more wide and apparently without bottom. One would ('lrup rocks down 1n there and hear them strike the sides, but not the bottom, nor could any one see the bot- tom, This crevice extended some eight or nine hundred or perhaps o thousand yards, and went beyond the farm and entered the Gilliam estate, adjoining, The sunken place must be twelve or fifteen acres, perhaps not quite so much. at the broadest point it is about one hundred yards and it was nine hundred yards long. The eurth that has gone down is not broken up, though the sink- ing has been vi uneven. To look down on this area it presents a very picturesque panorama. The lowered district is almost parallel with the river and is in the form of an irregular semi- circle, or, more properly speaking, a bow. A most singular feiture of the whole thing is that there isun upheaval in the river just in front of this basin, and it seems as though the earth had passed threugh an underground current to the river. This bar madeits appear- ance suddenly during one night. It projects a short way up outof the water, and would doubtless grow higher but for the earth being washed off by the current, There is a bold flow of water from one of the walls that is as clear as crystal and tastes of iron and sulphur, "The water from this has covered about two acres of the basin about eight feet deep, and when the balance of the sinking land shall have gone down to the level of the lower part the whole of this terri- tory will become a lake.

NIMROD BERTHOLD'S MONUMENT A Hero Who Slew a Black Boar Nearly Seven Hundred Yeéars Ago— Doing the Alps' From a Dizzy Height, A Trip Through the Alps. INTERLAKEN, Switzerland, August 2, —[Special to T Brk.]—We are now at Interlaken, after one of the famous and foolish trips taken by the tourist, some of it most pleasant, but part of it 100 hazardous for sensible man or woman. g Lakes Neuchatel, Thum and Brience are as fine as this world affords. Gen- ova is 1oo large to see all on either side. Beautiful towns dot the shores every three or four miles. There are peasant homes in every nook and corner of the steep mountain sides as far up as the climate allows. Then come the pine forests, and next the eternal snows on many of them. The railroad cars are somewhat like those in America, and are far more pleasant than those in England and France The hacks, car- ringes, horses, borrows and Jitters ara all slow here. They can’t be otherwise. During this teip we met many Ameri- cans, several of whom are known in our state. Hon. John B. Alley, one of the first advocates and directors of the Un- ioun Pacific ilroa and General F. Colton and Mr. Whittmore, with their families, we found at one of the summer resorts, They were all well and happy and full of questions about Omaha and Nebraska. 3rief mention of a gin be made. We pass ruins cascados und waterfalls, and hear and see the Alpine horns. They are from 8ix to ten feet long. made out of pieces of wood, crooked metal mouth piece, large bugle end, which is fitted into a woyen box frustram shaped like u pyra- m1d and placed facing a smooth faced cliff on the opposite side of the canyon. The plover swells himself up and blows his short tune of a few notes. and then the echoes return. any bugle, or clarionet imitation. This must all be paid for, as the Alpine blower is at the road side with his huge horn, where he has his stend and pects your few canteenai. It is we all it costs, We are now at the base of Mounts Juogfrau and Silbarhorn and Schnee- horn, from 11000 to 14000 feet in hight and covered with eternal'sno Between these mountains two huge glaciers. They are known as the unper and lower glacier. from their lo- cation on the Lutschenthal, which their waters form. It was onthe upper where Dr. A. Haller and two gudes perished in 1880, A monument tells their story. Here we tried our cournge with two la- dies of our party, Mrs. Whittmore and daughter on horsebuck, with two guides. We made the pass and visited the canyon, ice grottoes, etc Here fur in the solid ice, as blue as heaven, in a dugout grotto, we found an old woman of over seventy years playing a tuble harp and singing for a few dimes.

Our guide was an expert, and thank heaven could not speak ourlanguage! He motioned cverytning and grunted fear and safety. On our return we realized the danger of our upward trip, for when he tried to cut anew our old niches for steps, his axe broke through. His hand in mine in- stantly trembled. A few more light taps with the axe in one hand opencd a huge cravass wide enough to swallow several men and oh, how deep. The rat- tle of the chunks of fulling ice died away in the deep distance. We crossed the cruel opening and down most cay- tiously we went. Twice the steel goad caught and ed our lives. Our knees were somewhat inclined to shake, but courage wo must have and so we muster- ed it all, and finally made the trip with the resolve that neveragain would we attemot such a feat, nor permit unyone elsu to do it. J. W. Love, ———— STYLES OF HAIR CUTTING, A Kansas Barber Gots Oat a Unique Fashion Plat. Mr. Henry A. Mayor, a Main stroe barber, has~ perfe & unique hair 1’5 fashion plate, shys the Kansus | v Star. A man cdn’ look over the fashion plate, select the style of hair cut or beard he wants, and has only to call out the number of the one selected without giving any further instructions. The idea of getting up such a fashion plate suggested itself to him one day while looking in the window of a photo- graph gallery. He has spent over a v in perfécting his fashion plate, has it copyrighted and has applied for a patent, In order to carry out his plan of properly getting up a Tashion plate, he would go to the park or some public place, or even on the street, find a suit- able subject and induce him to huve his hair or beard trimmed in the style most hecoming to him, then have him photographed, frontside and back view. The fashion plate shows forty-eight different views. There are seventeen i mming the beard, “English,” **Vander- M “Senator,” G “Scotch,” ‘*American,” ** Fr “*Ladida,” “Bridle,” three kinds of ““Prince Albert,” “‘Favorite,” **Clergy” and. several slight variations from these. The ‘“American” or southern style is the most popular for older men, and the “Favorite for the younger men. The styles of goutting the hair are many, and all the styles are represented on the plate. Three or four styles of pompadour are shown, and the barber who knov's his business hus a better chance to cut a man's hair 10 suit his face in a pompadour cut than any other. This is still the most popu- Inf style. The principal stylos of haie- cutting he calls the one-fourth, one half and three-fourths shingle, with different styles of parting and of teim- ming the neck. Then there are the “‘Saratoga.” the ‘‘horse-shoe, the “feather-edge.” the ‘‘high-peaked,” “‘society,” and ‘“‘square” pompadour, the “tight clip,” “medium clip,” and *“Bill Nye” styles. Several heads por- fectly bald on top bave the hair so ar- ranged as to cover up the deffeiency. The Logan roli is the most elaborate hair-cut, and is really two cuts in one. The hair is cut long and square all around, Then the hair is lifted up, and a regular one-quarter shingle cut given and the long hair turned under at the bottom, AT A CIGARETTE SMOKER PUNISHED. He Makes Himself Offensive to a Liady and s Handeuffod. The other morning I witnessed a sen- sutional scene on the district railway, ys awriter in the St. James Gazotte.

The burly *squire, who had remained passive, quietly produced something thut glistened, and before you could count three the: was a click and the young man with the cigarette was hand- cuffed. Said the burly one: “You'll pick up your cigarette and put it out of the window and then you'll apologize to the lady and young géntleman for hav- ing brought a lighted cigarette into a non-smoking 1age. If you behave g ntly I'll let you go at the ation; if not, I'll hand you over company just as you are, and they’ll thank me “for doing this little job.” As the squire-detective finished the speed sinckened and we rolled 1nto the Sloane Square station.

Mut- tered apologies were made, all that t caught being: “Very sorry—won’t do il again—had noidea.” Thedarbies were slipped off, the door was opened, and our compartment contained one the less.
