WHAr AN INDIAN SAID OF PLANTATION Bit
TIERS. A little before the commencement Of
the buffalo season on the plains this year, two
Kiowa chiefs came to Fort Hays, Mo-, to OBJ.
tain powder and ball. As they belonged to
the 'peace party" of the tribe their wish was
complied with. One Of them then expressed
desire for "two, tree, FIVE bottles berry
good medicine" but could not remember the
name of the article he wanted. Itwos finally
recollec,ed that the winter previously cou'
pie Of bottles of DRAKE's PLANTATION BIrrERs
had been given to one of the chiefs by an off,
Ger in the Fort, and it appeared that the red
skin was eager for more. On asking him
what he thought of the cordial he promptly
replied that it was "berry bad stuff for lnjun
to take when no meat in wigwam--it made
him so hungry-but berry good when buffalo
plenty. cause it gsve him big appetite, and
he eat, eat, till he get fat an strong" Pro
badly finer compliment was never paid to
the famous vegetable tonic and restorative
than this bit of bad English from an IN.
sophisticated Indian. It not only cures indi
gsss'on, but iH2arts, SC TO speak, aclamcrous
appetite.

ScRoruLA is a faint or infection in the hu-
man organization, which weakens the vital
forces, and disorders or disarranges the func-
tions of the whole system. This taint or in
fection is most usually. hereditary in the con-
stitntion, but it may also arise from habits OF
life, unwholesome food, etc. In time, if this
disease does not show itself in an ulcerous or
tuberculous form, it induces those other dis
eases, such as consumption, alterations of the
liver, stomach and kidneys, salt rheum'
dropsy, etc. The best remedy ever yet dis
covered is "Dr. Walkers Vegetable FinegaT
BiHeys." II will cure the disease if not toe
far advanced, will eradicate the cause.

COALITION.

Ii is currently reported throughout the
county that j. A. S. Trout the Radical can,
didnte for Sheriff, has entered into an arrange
ment with s. Nj. Miller who was Democra
tic aspirantf for Sheriff, up to the time he was de-
featcd the primaries, to the effect that the Office
isto be divided equally between these two gen,
tlemen. The love Of official fees seem to be
stronger with them than political principle,
or party success. If the report is true, and
there seems many reasons why it should be,
Mr.. Trout shows that he has no hope of an
election by his own party and resorts to this
means, to secure if possible a half q loaf
through Democratic votes. What kind of q
Democrat can the man be who takes his chances
Of getting nomination and when beaten fair
", turns around ard uses his utmost endeayors
TO defeat the party of which he boasts being q
member. When AIR. Miller entered the field
as candidate for Sheriff he had many very
warm and enthusiastic friends, who did their
best to promote his success, when he was de-
teated they we're much chagrined, and ex-
I'eSSSu N""'@HN"oio ieouHS luC MIN, ana
against those who were successful over him.
Since the nominations were made friends of
Miller have tried to make IN arrangement
with MCGOWAN the Democratic nominee to
divide the office, failing in which he now
turns up as Junior partner with Trout on the
Radical ticket. This coalition may result in
giTing Trout the votes of few Democratic
friends of Miller, hut it will cut both ways,
by giving McGowau, quite o number Of Re
publicans, who would vote for Trout under
other circumstances. We cannot think that
any considerable strength will be given to
Trout by Democrats, or that he will gain any
more than he will lose. His chances for
election has been hopeless, and this piece of
strategy will not make them any better, or
improve them in the slightest degree. The
haass of our party are not to be disturbed by
any such treachery and trading for spoils, as
this little understanding between two men
who are NEARLY froze" for want of office re-
veals. There is little consistency in the ac-
t'on OF candidate whose friends have charged
that he was defeated by trading, that he was
sold out at the prim aries, TO turn around and
sell himself out to the opposite party for the
insignificant position of Deputy Sheriff.
The union Democrat., 1869-08-28

THE FACT CAN BE PRovED.-We are au
thorized to say, that S. Nj. Miller made the
statement in jamestown: That in the erenl
Of 7rout's election, he (MUler,) ,could be Sler
ID or Deputy. This dispels all doubts as tc
the trace between Trout and Miller having
been made. 1t is no longer rumor, but g
fact that can be relied upon aud proven. Car
Republicans or Democrats, support the treach
erv and bad faith of such tEickery! This
little arrangement places the election of Nc
Gowan beyond doabt.

The alarm of fire was given, the store was
soon opened when the stock Of dry goods was
found to be on fre.-Wbat goods were not

Washington dispatch to the Chicago Trt.
June, 'has been a good deal discussed at
the State Department within the past few
Days. Secretary FISH is very cautious in
his policy, and 20 all arguments in favor Of
recognition Of the revolutionists IN the Is
land, he answers that the time for do
ing has not yet arrived. When further
pressed, he says that hasty recognition
would complicate our relations with Eng
land, by which he seems to mean that it
would make the settlement of the Ala
bama claims more difficult. The BANKS
resolution of sympathy may pass the
House, but it is not likely to get through
the Senate this session, though the ENJOYS
of the insurgents are pressing it quite Wig
orougsy." Meantime it is stated that q
filibustering expedition is being fitted out in
New Orleans to aid the Cuban insurgents.
1t is understood that Gen. STEDMAN is
