Don't Forget It!

If you are troubled with nervous
ness. are disheartened, tired of life,
fear death or feel out of sorts, as the
saying is, you may safely conclude
that you have the Dyspepsia or
Liver Complaint. The liver is apt
to become torpid at this season of
the year as poisons arising from
stagnant water or decaying vegeta-
ton are more numerous and are
through inhalation taken into the
blood. Unless the liver is strong
and active, and furnishes supply
of fresh and pure blood to drive out
the impurities, the above mentioned
symptoms surely follow, and if not
needed. end in more terrible dis
eases and death. Whites Prairie

Panacea. Its action on the liver is
different from any other medicine
ever compounded. Its cures are
truly wonderful. Try it. Price, %

each intended to hold two convlcts.
The building is of lumber inches

spiked every six inches. The out

Knows the Facts Personally---Now, Carl,
Stand up and Explain.
CHICAGO, Nov. 2l.-The papers hore to-mor-
row will publish the original document regard
ing which there has been some controversy be-
this publication it appears that the statements
originally made by Gen. Pope and endorsed by
Lieut.. Gen. Sheridan, were that the interior
department, in ordering the transfer of the
Kiowa and Comanche Indians from Fort Sill
to the Wichita ia, agency, saved only the salary
of the Fort Sill agent, some $1,500, while it
rendered necessary an outlay of tens of thou
sands of dollars for the preparation of the
Wichita agency to receive the Indians, and left
the valuable Fort Sill property unoccupied and
useless. Generals Pope and Sheridan protested
strongly against this as unwise economy. The
secretary OF the interiors reply to these state
ments has been made public. Gen. Sheridan,
upon receiving it back, endorsed it with refer
ences to the extravaganza which has attended
previous removals of agencies, and remarks
that long observat'on has demonstrated that
the main cause for such removals as
these is hostility to army officers on
marks, he says, are intended to apply to the
management of Indian affairs for the last
twenty-five years. Regarding the case in point
he has full personal acquaintance with Forts
Sill and Wichita, and knows that Fort Sill has
an abundant supply Of excellent, pure water,
has fine soil and beautiful surrounding coun-
try. He concludes: II know nothing in the
relation of the military to the civil administra=
ton which should prevent me calling the at
tention of my superiors to an unnecessary
waste of public money through the bad adj
ministration of the Indian bureau Gen.

The estimates for the support Of navy
the next fiscal year are about the same as
the sum appropriated during the last session of

been confined within their proper limits, but
there is small balance to the credit of the

SETTLERS, LANDS.
Dscisi on in the Matter of the Brainerd
Extension Line.
Adjourned

Extension Line.
Yesterday Governor Pillsbury signed a very
important document, which affects the inter-
ests of very large number of settlers who had
pre-empted claims and established homesteads
and their rights to what had been disputed. It
Will be remembered that an act of the legisla-
ture was passed empowering the st. Paul and
Pacific railroad company to complete their line
and extensions. The act gave the company
the usual land grant of all the odd sections
along their line, but stipulated that the work
should be done within given space of time
otherwise all rights should be forfeited by
said company. The company failed to comply
with the conditions in regard To the Brainerd
and Watab extension, and many persons set
tied upon the lands which would have become
railroad lands if the company had fulfilled
the conditions and constructed the line. Sub
sequently the Western railroad company of
Minnesota came in and offered to take the po-
sition of the st. Paul & Pacific
with their restricted rights. The company de-
posted the required $4,000 for good faith
went to work and finished the road. They then,
in the face of the act of the legislature limit
ing their rights to all odd sections not settled
tions along the line, and demanded that
settlers either abandon their claims or
pay the price to the railroad ompany which
they might place on it. The secretary of the
interior issued commission to Gov. Pillsbury
to appoint committee to investigate the mat
ter, and hear the claims both of settlers and
the company. On such committee the Governor
appointed Attorney General Wilson, and S. Fl.
Nichols, clerk of the supreme court. These
two gentlemen have ploded through piles of
evidence, and some time since, as announced in
the GLOBE, reported to the Governor. Yesterday
the Governor signed the deed which embodles
the result of the investigation. BY it some l63
persons have their rights sustained and the
land, equivalent to about $50, 00G There were
some few settlers who had no rights at all, or
none which the law could respect, who now
will have to pay for their lands or find home
steads elsewhere.

The Ouakers and the Indians.

CINCINNATI, Nov. 21.-The executive COM
mittee of the Society of Friends on Indian
affairs has been in secret session in this city the
past two days, and closed their labors this
evening. Delegates were also present from
New England, New York, Pennsylvania, and
They reported some 10000 Indians under their
care at seven agencies at the beginning of the
year, since which time three agencies
have been taken from them and placed
in charge of agents nominated
by politicians. OF those remaining under their
care, fair progress is reported in education and
agriculture, and they consider their agents have
done their work well. The object of the meet
ing was to protest against the act of the secre-
tary of the interior in taking away the three
agencies from the care of the Friends and Civ
Ing them to politicians. They express conf
dence in their method, which they claim would,
if pursued, cause steady progress of the In
dians towards civilization and self support.
