Washington, November 15.-The Gov
ernor OF Montana submits the question
whether the United States government,
will permit the British government to af-
ford an asylum for our hostile Indians.

citizens. II the British government per-
sists in doing so. he recommends that for
the safety of the Territory, the Indians be
removed from the border several hundred
miles into the interior. He recommends
also. in view Of surrounding danger, that
the military districts of the Yellowstone
and Montana be constituted department.
and be placed under the command of Gen.
Nelson \. Miles. to the support of whom
thousands Of settlers would rally.

The freight brought down has amounted
to fifteen hundred tons. Independent OF the
seven hundred head OF Montana cattle
shipped by the Coulson boats. The down
freight included buffalo robes, filrs, wool,

were not shipped this year. Heretofore
the lead taken from them paid for the

Signs.

People who still adhere to the look at your tongue and feel l-of-your- pulse doctor sometimes express not a little curiosity in regard to Dr. K. V. Pierce's original method of dis tinguishlng all forms of chronic dis ease without personal consultation. Some even suppose that he accom- plishcs this through clairvoyanee, or some other species of professional iugglery. All this is utterly false. He claims to determine disease by the rational methods only. Says Comley, m his Biographical Encyclo- pedia of New York State, speaking of this distinguished physician: "He perceived that in each of the natural sciences the investigator proceeds according to a system of signs. The geologist Tn his cabinet accurately determines and describes the cleft of rock, which he has never seen, from the minute specimen on his table, And the chemist in his laboratory notes the constituents of the sun with the same precision that he analyses crystal of rock salt. The analogous system developed by Dr. Pierce in Medical Science is worthy of his genius, and has made his name justly celebrated" For a full explanation of thls ingenius system of diagnosis, see the Peoples Com mon Sense Medical Adviser, sent, post paid, to any address on receipt of one dollar and fifty cents.

The Washington. D. c. Post says
gestion

The Washington, D. C. Post says: Something decidedly remarkable is aboat to be observed in Indiana pol itics. The Democrats of the Hoosier State have great deal depending upon the complexion of the next Legislature Under the present sys- tenn of the gerrymandering they may carry the State by majority of % 900 and still lose the Legislature. In order to secure it they will be compelled to put forward their best men, and it is now said that the Hon. T. A. Hendricks will be enter ed as a candidate for the Senate from one of the close districts. From a candidacy for the Vice-Presidency to scat in the Legislature is a big slide, but Mir. Hendricks is so thor oughly devoted to his party that he will probably take it. If he makes this sacrifice it will give him an in creased hold upon the affections of his party, and after allit may prove Q profitable investment.
