AN ASTONISHING FACT.

4 large proportion of the American pep
pie are to-day dying from the effects Of Dys-
pepsia or disordered liver. The result of
these diseases upon the masses Of intelligent
and valuable people is most alarming, max
ing life actually a burden instead of a pleas
ant existence of enjoyment and usefulness
as it ought to be. There is no good reason
for this, if you will only throw aside pre-
JUDGE and skepticism, take the advice of
Druggists and yolr friends, and try one. bot
tie Of Green's August Flower. Yourspeedy
relief is certain. Millions of bottles Of this
medicine have been given away to try its
virtues, with satisfactory results in every
case. You can buy a sample bottle for 10
cents to try. Three doses will relieve the
worst case, Positively sold by all Drug
gi.ts on the Western Continent. Sold by

THE RIVER.

Nine car loads Of stone for riprapping
purposes have been received at Council
Bluffs.
Workmen are busy all over the govern
ment steamer Sherman and her transforma-
ton will be speedily effected.
Things are in a confused condition on
board the Peninah and Fontenelle, but when
the debris of the repairers is cleared away
they will be ship shape, staunch and ready
for business.
A rise of one foot gas reported at Ran
dali yesterday and the river here is already
slightly affected by the increased pressure
from above. This rise probably comes from
the ice break at Bismarck last Friday.
The steamer Black Hills is taking on
freshlcolors and her boilers ank furnaces are
being overhauled. Capt. Burlsigh's boat
can shine along.ide the best of them by the
time he is ready to begin the seasons trips.
There is general activity all along the
levee and the sound of the hammers and
the swash of the paint brush is heard from
early morning until late at night. All the
boats that have wintsred here will start out
in the best possible condition.
The steamer Benton will be launched
from the ways on Monday. She has re-
ceived a thorough going over and is in a
condition to run several years without being
pulled out of the water. Her upper i'm
provements are not yet completed, but the
finishing touches can be put or after she is
dropped in the water. She is going to look
nearly as high toned as Barr, her popular
clerk.
We fail TO hear anything more abou, the
steamers Primrose and Roanoke, which were
to run between Sioux City and upper river
points, but we do hear that the whole thing
was a. attempt to scare somebody. II can
be laid down as a reliable assertion that the
Primrose and Roanoke will not come into
the Missouri this season and that all boats
operating in this portion Of the river will
receive and discharge carsoes At iankton.
The prospects are that q season Of big river
business l. before US and that Yankson il
nov 70 be the most important point on tn.
Missouri river.

Protection TO rnE FRONTIER.
The United states Grand Jury Asks {
Military interference ON the Niobrara

The United states Grand Jury Asks for
Military lnscrfsroncc on the Niobrara.
The United States grand jury to-day re-
ported to Judge Shannon the following doc.
ument, asking the court to recommend that
adequate military protection I've afforded to
the exposed settlers along the Niobrara
river:
To the Hon. r. G. Shannon, Chief Justice, pre-
siding orer the District Court for the Cd
Judicial District:
We, the members of the United States
grand Jury in and for the ID Judicial District,
Dakota Territory, would respectfully repre-.
sent that the following facts have been
brought to our notice:
That various parties, chiefly white men of
q low, degraded character, have, for some
time, stolen horses and ponies belonging to
the agency Indians, and running them into
the neighboring states and territories have
disposed of them. In some cases the In
dams have recovered their stock, but in the
majority Of cases it has never been found.
This causes among the Indians a very bad
feeling and they have retaliated upon the
settlers living in their vicinity, who had
nothing to do with the theft and who were
good honest people. To such an extent has
this thievery been carried on that in some
sections, especially upon the Running
| Water, that the settlers have left their home
steads tor fear of further retaliation and
depreciation by the Indians.
As a grand jury we have made inquiry
into these depredations upon Indian property
and have done all which lies within our
power towards fastening crimes upon the
individuals who have perpetrated them.
While we have thus endeavored to protect
the rights of Indians we are not unmindful
of the rights and safety of white settlers
along the border. They are in no way to
blame for the unlawful operations of the
class of whites whose deeds threaten to bring
upon the innocent the vengeance of a bar
b.rous people. This danger is imminent
from the fact that the Spotted Tail indiana
are about to break camp and move ava,
from the border. Our information leacs u
to believe that whea this occurs a raid viii
be instituted along the Running Water. w
therefore deem it advisable that the at.en
ton of the military authorities be called I,
the necessity for military protection for tn
people OF that particular locality.
