very much annoyed by the Indians,
so that there was little intermission
from skirmishing and fighting with

the south side of the Yellowstone
River, yet SO fine did they find that

The Sioux City papers are max

Hills question, that if they do not

has had too many "reliable" reports
from there already, to be relied upon

have had only one ~"reliable" arrival

Doctor Pillgarlick has fallen into
the place recently filed by Digges.
He rattles around in it like q pea in an
empty bladder. Pillgarlick has dreams
at times, and naturally enough thinks
himself in company with old Belial-
his great prototype. There is much
nbout his sooty majesty, according to
popular belief, that Pillgarlick ad-
mircs and strives to initiate. Pillgar-
lick is a power in his way, but then
his ways are not those of honest men,
nor decent men, nor men of self res
pect. He too is a tactician, some say
n tactician in ways that are dark. But
Plllgarlic is nearing the end OF his
tetbeF. It is fitting that he should fill
Digges place, as he has all the require
ments. except his abilities. 1t is such
an appropriate place for him. People
will say when speaking of it, there
is an eternal fitness in things" Throw
physic to the dogs. because your occu-
patton as q physician is nearly gone,
and take to throwing mud. Go it.
Doctor, while in reality you are not
with Belial. 1t Will not always be a
dream with YOU.
