We would call the attention of
our readers to the advertisement of
Keller's Vegetable Life Drops, and
recommend such as need a really
good medicine to try this valuable
remedy which always does more
than it promises and effects results
unattainable by the use of any other
medicine. 1t is peculiarly adapted
to the treatment of so many diseases
and their prevention when used in
time, that it should be kept in every
house. The Drops are for sale by all
Druggists.

dance is considered by them sacred,
and they dance as long as the music
keeps uD. All the musicians are
men. With a large skin spread and
all seated around it they beat it with
sticks while others beat things not
unlike our tambOrines, which can be
heard for two miles. They dance
from 36 to As hours and do not eat
anything while it lasts. Some tor
ture themselves to show their bra
very, by having their skin cut and
strings run through and tied to the
centre pole and then dance and pull
till it tears out. Others tie buffalo
heads to the strings and dance till
the skin tears. Those who bear this
are considered brave They dance
until they become exhausted and fall
over and 90 to sleep, and what ever
they see or dream that is what the
Great Spirit wants them to do. Some
say they are to have 50 many horses,
and the first chance they get they
steal them. Others that they are to
kill some one &C., &c. This is where
they get their advice for all the dep
relations that they commit. Such
is Iujun.
And now for grasshoppcrs. They
are very plentiful and it is feared
they will destroy vegetation.
Buffalo are seen in great herds
thirty miles from here, but as yet l
have not seen any. The only game
that have seen is antelope, beaver,
deer, cranes, geese, and ducks by the
thousand,
Laborers receive for their work
$50 per month, and if one lives rough
he can make money.
Woodchoppers receive $3.50 per
cord for chopping, and any kind Of
hand can chop three cords a day.
The timber is cottonwood.
My best wishes for all, and will
write again.
