To All. Particularly Inyalids,

spring is q trying season. Indications OF sick
ness thould at once be attended to. Fatal
diseases may be caused by allowing the
bowels to become constipatcd and the system
to remain in a disordered condition, until
abe disorder has time to develop Itself. An
ounce of prevention is worth a pound OF cure,
is an old and truthful saying. Therefore, we
advise all who are troubled with the COM
plants now Observation-Disclosures, indiges-
ton, disordered liver, want of appetite,
nausea, or feverish skin, to take, without
delay, Schenck's Mandrake Pills. We know
of no remedy SO harmless and decisive in Its
action. 1t at once strikes at the root of the
disease and produces q healthy tone to the
system. People never need suffer from any
disease arising from a disordered condition
of the liver II they would take this excellent
medicine when they feel the first indications
of the malady. Families, leaving home for
the summer month"; should take three or four
boxes of these pills with them. They have
an almost instantaneous effect. They Will
relieve the patient OF headache in one or two
hours, and will rapidly cleanse the liver of
surrounding bile, and will effectually pre-
vent a bilious attack. They are sold by all
druypigfg.

Women as Hotel Clerks.

The following is extracted from an
interesting sketch by r. G. With, in
the May Galaxy, upon English women:
Not only in politics but in business
the English women appear much o
prominently than they do in America.
If they do not keep hotels, which they
sometimes do, they manage them,
whether they are great or small. The
place which in America is filled by that
exquisite, awful and im~perturbable be-
ing, the hotel clerk, is filed invariably
in England by a woman, so at least l
always found it, and 1 found the change
a very happy one.
To be met by the CHEEKY, pleasant
faces of these bright, wellmannered
woman, to be spoken to as if you were
a human being, whom, in considera-
ton of what you are to pay, it was a
pleasure to make as comfortable as pos
sible, instead of being treated with
condescension, or at best with serene
Indifference, was a pleasant sensation.
Dressed in black serge or ALPACA, they
affected no floating airs, and directed
or obeyed promptly and quietly. And
yet their womanhood constantly ap-
peared in their manners and in their
thoughtfulness of those who were in
their care.

Don't Run In Debt.


1t is better to wear calico dress

A Yariegated People.

The ground work of the population of
the Indian Territory may be said to be
of mosaic. There are wild sIndians by
blood" viz: The Osages, Cheyennes,
Arapahoes, Kiowas and Pawnees, about
10000 all told. These are called
s'blanket Indians" and do not Guilt
vate the soil. They are not much mixed.
Then there are other ''Indians by
blood" viz: Cherokees, Greeks, Sem
inoles, Choctaws and Chickasaws, who
are partially civilized and very mixed.
When a white man marries a woman
of any of these tribes he Immediately
becomes a "white Indian by marriage"
entitled to all the rights and privileges
of the tribe and to his proportion of the
land; ditto of a white woman who mar
ries an Indian. There are also lots Of
''black Indians by treaty. connected
with the Cherokees, Creeks and Semi
noles. The negroes Of those nations
were made free by the treaty of 1866;
but, unlike the treaties of 1866 with the
other tribes, the Choctaw and Chicka-
saw treaty did not stipulate that
they should be citizens of those tribes.
OF these civilized Indians by blood,
white Indians by marriage, and black
Indians by treaty, there are $1,000.
Besides these there are $500 NEGRO
citizens of the United States" former
ly slaves of the Chickasaws and Choc-
taws, who are not constructed or other
wise ranked as Indians. The whole
populatiog of the Territory is about IT,
600, which is greater than that of the
State of Nevada,
