The Great Resort of Colorado Tourist?.

What a Terre Hautean thinks of Enjoment There.

Pike's Peak, the Great Canons,

Manitou, Colorado, Aug. 4, 1879. To assist the rusty geography of my once proficient reader—of course everybody lays claim to having teen at some time a perfect walking encyclopeadia of geographical facts—I will say at the outset that Manitou is a little mountain resort eleven miles from the summit of Pike's Peak and six miles above the busttling town of Colorado Springs. Colorado Springs is on the line of that much contested road, the Denver & Rio Grande. And, by-the-way, that is a ludicrously small thing to quarrel about. The road is narrow guage so narrow that a pedestrian must part his hair in the middle in order to balance himself in the center of the way. And the funy little engines and cars resemble the tin toys in a confectionary window. And yet this little road is over three hundred miles long, and its quarrel about the lease to the Atchison, Topeka & Sante Fe, is the all absorbing topic—the politics of Colorado.

This is the rainy season, as a party of Illinoisans who were told it never rained in Colorado, who came unprepared with umbrellas, have found to their cost. It's an irregular occurrcnce if a few bridges are not washed out and a place or two in a mountain "trail" damaged every night.

Like Alexander Bay in the midst of the Thousand Islands, Manitou, after having been known for several years by a few tourists as a pleasant place, has come to be fashionable. Resembling all newly made "resorts" it is crowded. The hotels are positively annoyed by the excess of travel, and the livery stables are doing the traditionally liyely "land office business." Of course, under the circumstances, rates are high. The smallest hotel charges fifteen dollars a week, and the other two from twenty-one to twen-ty-eight dollars. There area few private houses much lower than this. But twothirds of the people who come from the East to luxuriate in this sublime scenery and delightful mountain air are inde pendent of hotels and livery. They are "tenters." Their little white temporary canvass homes skirt every mountain creek, and their only assistance in,long rambles is a stout cane of wild cherry. Not one you meet fails to declare he likes his experience. This letter, written between intervals of excitement and pleasure at the hotel, has no railroad route to serve, or hotel to praise, or resort to advertise. The writer has been frequently amused by the poetic nonsense—perhaps that is too severe a word—which many persons use as apparently the only medium descriptive of this state. Deceived by this redundant &tyle tourists come here expecting to find a climate where sickness is unknown and where natural sublimity keeps one's soul in a constant tune of ecstacy. It was an Irishman who, having heard that Colorado was a slate so healthy that people never died, said he would go there to "end his days," although he was born at a very early period of his lite. If a person wishes he can find unpleasant things everywhere. Should he go to heaven he would complain that the halo "did not fit" the Saviour. Such a person would find no difficulty here in finding sources of unhappiness in the constant rain at one season—six weeks during the summer—and the almost unremitting drouth the rest of the year. The Pike's Peak would be too distant and the ascending ponies or donkeys to hard and 6low and the very abruptness of the mighty cliffs would be irritating and suggestive of impudence. If he camped out the little discomforts would harrass him to death and if he lived at a hotel the charges would lash him into a rage. The truth is Colorado has been overdone and underdone. But it is natural to ad mire mo6t the enthasiast who makes himself a little absurd. He is at least good natured, while the fellow who is "magnificently disappointed" is an unquestionable bore. There are a great many happy people hear. They are not afraid of exertion. To them the eleven mile ride to Pike's Peak is a constant succession of pleasurable feelings—of rejoicings at the boundlessness of natures panoramic resources. It is indeed a glorious experience. Since standing below the great cataract of Niagara the writer has never been so profoundly impressed as on the. trip to Pike's Peak. The mountain trail is up Ruxton's canon where nature has evidently "set her cap" to captivate every beholder.

Charlotte Bronte says she intended to write a book in which she would touch human hearts so strongly that a person would never be the same after, as before reading. So it is with first experiences in such a visit as that to the peak. The impression made is lasting and the influ ence permanent. (A cynical friend who caught a chill in a snow storm, and who, not being accustomed to horse-back travel, has been unable to walk since the assent, looks over my shoulder and as sures me that he admits the impression to be lasting.)

The summit of the Peak is about twenty acres in extent. The eve stretches over one hundred and fifty miles of the boundless Western plains, and plainly sees the "snowy range," South Park, and can count the" streets in distant towns,

The signal station on the summit is a source of amusement. The keeper, who has been annoyed by people with needle gun question attachments and sympathetic remarks concerning the probable lonesomeness of his situation, anticipates remarks by a series ot written bon mots pasted on the outer wall,

A few specimen bricks are printed below. He says, addressing the tourist: (1) We are positively never lonesome. (2) Yes, thank you, we do smoke. (3) Persons from a distance who

hope thev may be able at some future time to reciprocate numerous favors, are reminded that there is no time like the present. We have heard "Pinafore." Visitors who spate us the "hardly ever" joke will, therefore, be kindly remembered.

And so on through a number of pointed remarks, which seem especially so, found oil this distant and solitary rock, where the daily life of the agent is scarcely relie\ ed from the monotony of fighting mountain rats, which are as large as badgers. It is like finding conviviality in the keeper of a lighthouse.

In a subsequent letter I will tell something of what I have seen and enjoyed. There is no gossip to report. We have one regular round of dancing and amusement in the hotel. The writer is the only Terre Hautean here. Mr. Nicholas Katzenbach left some time ago.

Yours, S. F. B.

A DIZZY CROWD.

THE "DIZZY BLONDES" WIIL NOT BE HERE IN SEPTEMBER AS ANNJUNCED. -H

Fr6m Friday's Daily.

The gentleman whom this has reference to was in the city yesterday making arrangement 5 for the appearance of his show in this city September 3rd and 4th It is from the Indianapolis Sentinel and be of interest to him:

Several days since rather a slick-look-ing individual, calling himself David Waller, and representing to be the general agent of Miss Millie Eugene's Hibernicon Blondes, put in an appearance in this city. He visited one of the hotels, engaged board tor his supposed troupe of high-kickers, remained three days, and paid his bill with a check on the manaager of the company. Going to Major Robert Emmett, Eastern passenger agent of the Vandalia road, he showed his "papers," made a contract for the transportation of the Dizzy Blondes, received a pass for himself over the road for the purpose of billing the towns between here and St. Louis. On Wednesday Major Emmet was informed that he was an impostor, having beaten his way over the Pan-Han-dle, J., M. and I., Scioto Valley and other Eastern roads. The Major at once went to Brazil, and found his man making arrangements for "his show" to appear in that place, and when informed that he had been caught referred the Major to Akron, O., for information. Word was received from there yesterday stating that the Blondes had disbanded at that place over a month ago, and that Waller was a fraud. His pass over the Vandalia was taken away from him at Brazil, and he skipped out on Wednesday night on a freight train. Western railroads should keep an eye open for him.

BENTLY'S BUSINESS.

THE VISIT OF THE UNITED STATES COMMISSIONER OF PENSIONS TO GTNERAL KNEFLER.

From the Indianapolis Sentinel. J. A. Bently, United States Commissioner of Pensions, arrived in the city yesterday, and is the guest of General Fred. Knefler. A Sentinel reporter called at Generel Knefler's residence last evening, but owing to circumstances was only able to have a very brief conversation with Mr. Bently. He is a very affable gentleman, and said he did not come here on any particlar business, but at the invitation of General Knefler, He said he had not seen General Knefler since the three pension agencies in this state were consolidated, but that payments were now made much more rapidly than ever before. He said he had been called upon to address the pensioners upon the effects of the new arrearage law, but did not feel well enough to do it, though if feeling better he would be happy to do so. Mr. Bently said that the arrearages law would take at least $25,000,000 out of the United States treasury, and that about half the amount has already been paid. During the past year 62,000 claims have been settle, but that dees Dot include the arrearages. The number of claims that will be filed under the present law, Mr. Bentley says, no one can guess, as 180,000 claims are now pending, and they are coming in at the rate of 2,500 per week. Some idea of the amount of work done in the office may be gained from the fact that the average number of letters received per day is 2,000, and the number answered is 1,000. The number of regular clerks is 400, but a large additional force is required at present

-A PATHETIC APPEAL. Jit-

•f'it W From the Rockvllle Tribune.

FELLOW FARMERS: The harvest is passed, the summer is ended and I am not saved—from delinquent debtors and importunate creditors. Three hundred and twelve of you owe me one or two year's subscription each! And $4,coo a "day being paid out in this county for wheat, by actual count. The average crop is eighteen bushels per acre, and it only takes the proceeds ®f a bushel and three pecks to pay for my valuable paper. Hew can you be saved if you neglect &o obvious a duty?

Gaze on this wasted form, these patched breeches, and ask your own heart if you are doing the square thing. How can you reconcile it with a good conscience to cash a check for 500 bushels of wheat, and leave town without calling at this office? Have you not had value received is not the paper worth all I ask for it? Hear me for my cause, and come while it is yet called to-day. I need the money, and I feel it in my bones that you have it at this time. It is not the volume of currency, but the rapidity of its circulation that makes times easy. So delay no longer.

Hungrily yours. J. H. BEADLE.

i- THE BLOODY AX

WITH WHICH JACK BUTLER STRUCK THE WRONG MAN IN TRYING TO AVENGE AN INSULT •J UPON A YOUNG

LADY.

From the Vincennes Sun.

In yesterday's Sun we announced that one Mooney had been struck and injured in a row that occurred at Bruceville, but it peems that our informant was mistaken as to the "locus in quo," for subsequent information placed the scene of the fracas at a "frolic" in Johnson township. George Mooney was the unfortunate and innocent victim of the cruel weapon, and from Dr. F. W. Beard, who was called to attend him, we learned the following particulars of the tragical row:

A dance was in progress at the house of Ike Wethers, in Johnson township, a young man named Jonathan Tolbert, as is alleged, insulted a yourg lady, and Jack Butler "took it up," that is, he constituted himself as the y. l.'s protector, and proceeded at once to avenge the insult in a manner well suited to primitive warfare. Seizing an ax he made an overhanded blow with fearful torce at Tolbert, which missed him, and George Mooney, who was standing near, an innocent and quiet spectator, received the blade in his shoulder, making a seriou?, if not fatal, wound. A general row ensued. Tolbert received some two or three flesh wounds, which are not regarded as dangerous. Butler was also cut with a knife and bruised somewhat.

Dr. Beard found it necessary to perform the exceedingly difficult operation of excising the shoulder joint of Mooney, taking out a portion of the bones. The joint was badly crushed, and it is doubtful whethe. he will recover, although he seems to be doing well at present.

We have learned of no arrests, but presume the parties will be brought to justice, t' & ft* ,,.i

VOORHEES.

Senator D. W. Voorhees will deliver an address at the McDonough county, 111., fair this fall. The Macomb Journal says:

The announcement that Senator Daniel W. Voorhees, of Indiana, is to deliver an address at onr coming fait, in McDonough, causes mention from nearly all our exchanges. As much as Republicans may differ with this gentleman on politics, all agree that he stands high in the niche of orators, and that an address by him cannot fail to interest. Voorhees is independent in his views, bold, outspoken and agressive, and although we may not like the politician, we cannot help but admire the pluck of the man. The following ate extracts from our oeighboring exchanges that speak of the address:

Here follows over a half column of extracts from different papers announcing the tact. The article concludes as follows:,

In addition to the above, the Chicago dailies all mention the matter. Thus it will be seen that the fact of an address by Senator Voorhees, is considered a matter of great interest, and will attract thousands. This, added to other important features, will lend additional attractions to our coming Fair. V*

A Minority Meeting at Waukesha, W -4 -"V (Mis., fen ^i

Where They Have an Inferecting Time and are Rejjalcd Upon Buttermhk.

Waukesha, Wis.. August 7, 1879. To the Editor of the GAZETTE: Being in a cooler atmosphere than that which prevailed in Terre Haute a few days ago, and desirous of informing the citizens of that place that some of the members of the Vigo Horticultural bociety are alive, and endeavoring to make a faithful representation of the organization I am called upon to send you a short report of some exercises entered into to day. At its last monthly meeting, held at Fluvanna lake, it was moved that the next meeting, August 7th, be held at Waukesha, Wis. I do not know that the motion was carried by a majority vote, but I do know that a minority were in favor of it, and that they met here today, ready for business, and to hear essays and discuss butter, milk and cheese. A goodly number of guests attended, and I am able to report a very interesting meeting:

It was proposed to meet at the "Rose Glen Creamery" of Geo. Lawrence oc Son. out four miles from Waukesha, in the rich valley of Fox River. A splendid omnibus was chartered and well filled. On making up a register list the following names were entered: Hon. Joseph Gilbert, President Hon. A. B. Pegg and wife, M. W. Williams, Secretary of the Terre Haute Gas Company M. S. Durham, real estate operator S. H. Potter, GAZETTE reporter Mrs Wm. Shryer, Master Willie Shryer, Henderson, Mrs. John Henderson, Miss Kate Henderson, B. Henderson, Master Willie Henderson, Chas. Bigler, Mrs. Leroy, Harry Tichrue and Miss Sophia Eilus. A charming morning it was, and a charming healthful ride down a splendid road took us speedily to the place of meeting. Before proceeding to business, buttermilk was served and there were no dissenting remarks against taking two or three glasses. All agreed that it might be as conducive to health as the Bethesda or Glen waters of Waukesha. The writer being a

good

judge is bound to say that better buttermilk was never served. It was entirely free from particles of butter. It was sweet and cold. A pure and cold water from a spring had given it a

limpid ex

cellence not often obtained. We saw the rich golden but'er from which this superior buttermilk had been extracted We learned that the butter from this popular creamery of Messrs. Lawrence & Sons has a name and a fame at Milwaukee, Chicago, New York, at state fairs, and that it generally takes the first prize and commands an extra price whereever it goes r,/ One hundred and fifty pounds goes to Milwaukee weekly The Fountain House, Waukesha, takes alike quantity. It took the precedence at the International Dairy Fair held in New York city in December 1878, and was awarded a set of nickle plated scales, valued at one hundred dollars, for the best tub of butter made in America. We had the satisfaction of weighing ourselves on said scales. In connection with the making of this excellent butter, the establishment turns out three or four hundred pounds of rich cheese daily. We ascended to the second story ot the building and saw shelves loaded with thiriy to fifty pound cheeses. Like the butter from this creamery, the cheese is also sought after. One is now on its way to Terre Haute, and it may be that portions of ,VT't it will be served at the next feast of our society near, or in Terre Haute. After an hour spent in the way indicated, we return feeling greatly benefitted by such a ride, such cooling draughts and such a social intercourse, in the absence of more entertaining members of the society meeting to-day somewhere else, we did the best we could and tried to deport ourselves creditably. I must repeat what I have once before written of Wau kesha and the country surrounding it. It is truly a land flowing with milk and honey, with splenuia fields of oats,wheat, corn and barley. The valleys are fringed with rolling hills, the springs send forth pure and running wateis, and from underneath issue life-healing mineral waters, which are drank by invalids and visitors from all parts of «ur wide country. This county, and the state generally, is sadly short this season in fruit, apples especially. Like ourselves, they will be dependent on importations. In almost everything there is great abund ance and to spare. Since arriving here on Tuesday, a most invigorating atmosphere har prevailed, and the nights so cool that sleep is enjoyable. P.

A RETIRED ACTOR.

Mr. D. Hanchett, of t+iis city, is one of the oldest actors in the United States, if not the oldest. He went on the stage in 1846, and' during his long career has known most of ttie great actors of that penod and played with many of them. He was leading man at the old Broadway Theater, New York, in 1854, has supported Edwin Forrest, traveled with Charlotte Cushman, and playei with the elder Booth. Mr. Hanchett, though temporarily retired from the stage, has good work in him yet. At present he is conducting a dramatic college over No iS, on North Pennsylvania street, where he gives lessons in reading, elocution and stage business. Several of his graduates are now on the stage. and others have' secuicd lucrative engagements for the coming season. Some of his pupils have studied for the bar and others for the pulpit, and all bear testi mony to his excellent method of teach ing. His long experience as an actor and his thorough acquaintance with the elocutionary art, qualify him in an eminent degree for the work in which he is now engaged. Mr. Hanchett's reminiscences of the great actors he has known would form an interesting chapter in the history of the American stage. He says there is HO great tragedian at present that Barrett, Booth, AlcCullough and their school are but feeble imitators of Forrest, the elder Booth, and their contemporaries.—[Indianapolis Journal.

CITY OOUNCCL.

!W,

Soccial .fleeting to Hear and Act Upon the Report on th« S«tai Ury lotidiiion of the Third

Ward.

From Saturday's Daily.

The City Council met special session last night to hear and net upon the rep jrt of the committee apfuuUeJ at the ia-it regular mreting to vi-it the lately infected parts in the sou part of 1 lie cry Dr. Roberts of the board of hea'th was present. On motion of Mr. Schlos-, Sir. Harris was called to the chair.

Mr Appman, one of the special com 1 mittee appointed, handed in the committee's report, which, in substance, was that they had visited the distillery, slaughterhouses and other places, and found that they were in a worse condition than they first anticipited that a foul smell prevailed in the locality, and recommended that an action be taken in Wz the matter at once. The report of the W Board of Health was so complete, and' agreed so with their convictions, that •a the committee thought best to adopt it as theii own.

Mr. Schloss stated he was in favor of immediate action on the subject. He thought the report should be handed over to the city attorney, in conjunction with the board of health and they should: draft ordinances that would result in the abatement of all such nuisances.

Mr. McCutcheon said he was one of the committee who vissted the south im part of the city. He found them in a worse condition than he had ever thought of. The matter should be attended to at once. Mr. McCutcheon wanted to know from Dr. Roberts whether or not the infected district could not be disinfecterf. Dr. Roberts, of the board of health, made a statement.

He said he did not think the work of disinfecting could be effectually done. He thought the distillery premises should not be disturbed until October or November, as such a stench would ariie by the disturbance, that it would infect the whole city. He hoped that the little epidemic the city had experienced, would be an instrument ot much good, by causing the' citizens to clean up. In regard to the Sheet street sewer, the doctor said he thought it would be a good thing to construct a sewer at that point, as the pools

:j

of water are detrimental to health. On motion, the report of the special committee was adopted.

Mr. Appmann brought up the sewer' question of having one erected in Sheet Htreet.

Mr. McCutcheon moved that the city engineer make a survey of that part of the city through which the Sheet street "1 sewer would run, and report to the Council the land that would be benefitted by such sewer or otherwise.

After some argument the matter of assessments of the Sheet street sewer was referred to the city attorney.

Resolution by Mr. Schloss that the, owner of the weil near the corner of Poplar and Fourteenth, have a sink placed in front of it. Adopted.

Resolution by same, that the owner of a well near the corner of Tnirteenth and Poplar streets, be ordered to have said pump either placed in good conditionor moved. Adopted.

Resolution of Mr. Polk, that the street commissioner notify I the school board to have the sidewalks in front of the Third ward school house repaired. Adopted.

Resolution by Mr. Cruft, that the com- 1 mittee on public improvements confer with the trustees of the Congregational church, and make arrangements to have, the town clock repaired. Adopted. Adjourned. "T
