The Career of Great Remedy.

Twenty summers have elapsed since it was
briefly announced that new vegetable tonic and
Alternative, bearing the name of Hostetter's stom-
ach Bitters, had been added to the list Of Pre-
ventive and Restorative medicines. The modest
advertisement which invited attention TO the
preparation stated that had been used with great
success, in private practice, as cure for dyspep
sia, bilious complaints, constipation and inter-
mittent fever. 1t soon discovered that the
article possessed extraordinary properties. The
people, Of every class, tested its merits tonic,
stimulant corrective and restorative, and found
that it's effects more than fulfilled their hopes and
expectations. From that time to the present it's
course has been upward and onward, and it stands
to-day at the head Of all medicines Of its class,
American or imported, in the magnitude Of it's
sales and it's reputation as safe, agreeable and
potent invigorant and restorative. For languor
and debility lack Of appetite and gastric disturb
ances, so common during the summer months, it
is absolutely infallible Indigestion, bilious dis
orders, constipation, nervousness, periodical fe-
vers, and all the ordinary complaints generated
by vitated and humid atmosphere, vanish under
it's renovating and regulating influence This is
it's record, avouched by volumes of intelligent
testimony, extending over period Of a fifth of a
century, and comprehending the names of thou
sands Of wellknown citizens belonging to every
class and calling In Europe ii is thought great
thing TO obtain the patronage Of royalty for a
"patent incidence but Hosttetter's Bitters has
been spontaneously approved by millions of indie
pendent sovereigns, and it's patent consists i'll
their Endorsement.

calculated to excite alarm, Mr.. Meachsm
does not conceal his fears that the tur-
bulence of the other tribes could not be
restrained, with such result before
their eyes. The white men who mas
sacred the Modoc prisoners should be
hanged, he thinks, on the same gallows
with the Indian murderers.
He considers the Modocs the bravest
and most warlike tribe in the Territory.
Small as the band has been, no tribe
has SO scourged its enemies. And their
conduct throughout the war has been
worthy of admiration, if their hghting
qualities only are considered. AT no
time has Capt. Jack had more than TO
warriors under his command the day
of the massacre he had but 43. Yet this
little band held out against 800 troops
armed with all the appliances OF sue
cessful warfare, and during the whole
of the first three days conflict kept
passage open for retreat which
even the Warm Spring Indian
scouts could not close. The Modocs
have killed and wounded during the war
about three soldiers for every warrior In
their force, and during that time Com
missioner Meacham asserts that not
more than twenty warriors have them
selves fallen. The story of the massa-
ere of Modocs by Ben Wright and his
followers, more than twenty years ago,
the details of which have been given in
full in the Tribune, is still ranking III
the hearts of their descendants. Capt.
Jack spoke of it number of times to
Mr.. Meacham in their talks, reminding
him that he had no assurance that the
promises of the white men would be
kept, recalling to his memory the fact
that forty-one out Of forty-six Modocs
persisted in that cold FLOODED massacre.
One of the very five who escaped was
the Schonchin who leaped with pistol
and knife upon Meacham. And while
the memory of this, no doubt, has fed
the flame of hatred, Mr.. Meacham de-
MES that the Modocs have ever been
ill-treated or robbed.
Perhaps the most remarkable fact to
be noticed in Mr.. Meacham's bearing is
the absence of anything like revenge
full feeling toward the would-be assas-
sins. Although they had inflicted near
! ly half score of wounds upon his body,
and left him for dead on the ground OF
the massacre, he expressed no desire for
anything but justice as the issue, and
speaks of the Modocs with calmness
and moderation, while the wounds of
their knives and pistols are hardly
healed. He said repeatedly and vigor-
ously: =" / am just as good friend OF
| the Indian to-day as l ever was.

Valuable.

Fire insurance is regarded everywhere
as among the necessaries of life. A
property-holder is reckless without it.
Life Insurance is now classed with fire
insurance in this particular. The Ma
tional Life Insurance Company of the
United States of America, with Branch
Office ut Philadelphia with which cor
respondence should be had), with the
largest cash capital of any life insurance
company in the world, offers insurance
in all sections of the country at three
fourths the customary rates, and desires
an agent in every locality. 1t combines
absolute strength with unusual cheap
ness, is managed by some of the best
men of the country, and is well worthy

A PHYSICIAN WHO HEALED HIMSELF
If railroad director were dashed to
every locomotive, there would be fewer
railroad accidents, and if doctors had to
take their own physic before admins
tering it to their patients, fewer people
would be poisoned. DR.. Joseph Walker,
of California, took this course when he
first compounded the famous Vinegar
Bitters which now rank as an inestima-
BILE household remedy in all parts of the
United States. He healed himself with
this specific before he offered it to the
world. He introduced it with a simple
statement of the manner in which he
had discovered its vegetable ingredients
and been cured, while wander ng, sick
and poor, among the California tribes.
He stated what the preparation had
done for himself and a few sufferers
from dyspepsia, biliousness, rheuma-
tism, lung diseases, and many other
prevalent disorders, believed him, tried
the new restorative and were more than
satisfied with the results. In this way
the sale of the Vinegar Bitters began,
and we mention the fact as an evidence
that in this age of intelligence and in
quiry, nothing that is really valuable to
mankind can prove pecuniary failure
even though it may lack the help of
capital, and have to fight its way against
powerful opposing interests. Within
two or three months after introduction,
the article became self-supporting, and
it now yields a magnificent annual
revenue Com.

Potatoes Prescribed.

Several German writer's upon races
predict that nations, far from improv-
ing, will deteriorate both in physical
and mental characteristics if potatoes
become a principal article of diet. The
celebrated Carl Weight says that " the
nourishing potato does not restore
the wasted tissues, but makes our pro-
letariats physically and mentally weak. "
The Holland Psychologist, Mulder, gives
the same Judgment when he declares
that the excessive use of potatoes among
the poorer classes, and coffee and tea by
the higher ranks, is the cause of the in
dolence of nations. Leindenfrost main
tains that the revolutions of the last
three centuries have been caused by the
changed nourishment the lowest work
man in folmer times ate more flesh than
now, when the cheap potato forms his
principal subsistence, but gives him no
muscular or nervous strength.

Two NOTED literary men died in New

that both died poor. Each received a
salary amounting to more than So, 600 a
year, for many years before he died. In
one instance it was necessary to take up
a collection among the friends of the
deceased to obtain the necessary funds
for burial expenses. In the other case,
while the dead man lay in the house, a
friend searching through his private
papers found life insurance policy for
$4,000. The last premium had been

PROBABLE RESULT OF TRIAL.

Of the issue of the trial, of course, moth
ing can be known beforehand, but Mr..
Meacham expresses no doubt that such
of the Modocs as were directly guilty of
participation in the assassination will be
convicted, and if convicted, will, of
course, be executed. If by any means
they should escape punishment, he says
that he should have grave fears for the
result, both upon the people of Oregon
and the Indians. Gov. Growers demand
for the custody of the prisoners has
given him great deal of popularity
with the people of the State, and was
only the expression of the universal
sentiment. If they should escape JUS
tice, the indignation of the people would
be such that the Modocs would have to
be removed from the country. Their
lives would not be safe. There may be
some effort to shield them from any
punishment, but is improbable that it
will be successful. On the other hand,
the effect of virtual acquittal or of a
pardon after conviction, on the other
tribes, could hardly be but disastrous.
Without wishing to make statements
