This is a continuance of an old case against

the collection of bounties for Indians, he is
accused Of forging power of attorney to en-
dorsements of drafts, using the names of dead

Judge denies emphatically that there is any
truth in the charge and denounces the tram
saction as malicious, and says that time will

ed individuals are required to go into the In.
dian countries and look after railroad land

TIE NEw WORLDS GRANp REMEDY.

6 HE NEW WORLD s GRAND REMEDY
The Old World has played its, part in
vegetable medication. But the botany of
the New World is, as yet, imperfectly ex-
plored. One new and most important
revelation from that land of wonders
California-has astonished the scientific,
and accomplished such cures of diseases
of the stomach and bowels, bilious COM
plants, malarious fevers, nervous aftec-
tions, and all diseases proceeding from a
vitiated condition of the blood, as have
never before been witnessed.

BITTERs all the alcoholic and mineral
medicines are rapidly falling into disuse.
They cannot resist the overpowering evil
dence brought forward every day, of the
immense superiority of this medicine.
Not drop of any variety of distilled or
fermented liquor or mineral poison en-
tiers into its composition. 1t is a gentle
apierient, tonic, derived from entirely
new vegetable sources, an unrivaled
stomachic, admirable in all pulmonary
diseases and, in fact, as near to univer-
sal remedy as botanical discovery and
scientific skill can hope to attain. DR..
Walker considers it a cure for all diseases
not organic, and really the great variety
of diseases in which it is successful seems
to warrant the opinion. Every family
needs such a remedy. 1t saves pain,
anxiety and doctors bills. We know
what trouble it is to keep the bowels of
children in order, and any remedy that
will strengthen and regulate their weak
and variable digestion must be domestic

The Census-Religion and Occupation.

Il has already been mentioned in com.
menting on the census that the six New
England States, with a white population
of 3,445, 043, have but 5,421 churches,
while the six Southern States upon the
Atlantic, with white population of g.
$50, 903, or virtually the same, have II, )
567 churches. But apart from this amaz-
ing revelation there are other items of in
gathered from the report. The pop
ulation of the thirty-seven States is

no accommodation, should every man,
woman and ten -yearold child in the
Union be simultaneously moved on a
bright Sunday morning to attend relig-
ious worship. Still that as many as
6,503. 1913 persons, or about one sixth of our
entire population, have no church accom-
mediation is a pregnant reflection for
diviDes. The aggregate value of the

Across the Atlantic in a Balloon.

ACCORDING to the New York SIN, an
aeronaut by the name of Donaldson is
now constructing a series of balloons with
which he purposes to cross the Atlantic
next summer, starting from Union Square
in this city. He claims that flying ma
chine is within the range of possibility,
and is not discouraged by the many fail
ures in this field. His theory is plausible.
He remarks that when Fulton built the
steamboat to run in water he did not imi-
tate the action of the fish, and then he
expresses the opinion that to navigate the
air it is not necessary to comply too close
ly with the movements of birds. The fly
ing bird represents aerial locomoticn in
its primitive state. The idea is to i'm
prove upon this, 1ust as the steam engine
is an improvement upon the power and
speed of the horse. Having had large
experience in ballooning, Mr.. Donaldson
is earnest in the belief that he can travel
from the setting sun at all times, 'for at
a certain height, say two and half miles,
there is constant current of air blowing
toward the East" By ascending to the
required altitude, he is confident that this
strong current will safely bear his ship
from New York to the shores of England.
He is also of the opinion that, when on
the other side, he will find another cur
rent which will watt him home again.
We may pronounce the attempt to cross
the ocean in balloon foolhardy, but let
us not forget that such "foolhardy"
efforts heretofore have led to the most
important discoveries. Science requires
her sacrifices. If we never ventured out
of the old grooves we would make no
progress. If we ever succeed in con-
- S4l, 70
the air, it will be through that spirit of
daring which animates the bosom of Mr..
Donaldson. If he attempts the proposed
feat and perishes in the undertaking, we
hope that his failure will not deter others
from making dangerous experiments in
the same direction. Turf, Field and
Farm.

held her head above water, while rope
could be procured; then another man put
