Taken Prisoner by Indians.

A lad, apparently about sixteen years
of age made his appearance in town
yesterday. He says that when ten
years of age he was taken prisoner by
Indians in Texas or New Mexico. He
was severely wounded at the time he
was captured and the first winter he
lived with the Indians his feet were
frozen so badly that he lost his toes.
He says he is onhis way to California
where his father resides He speaks
English and Spanish imperfectly and
says he speaks several Indian dialects
fluently.

Enjoy life.

What truly beautiful world we live
in! Nature gives up grandeur of
mountains, glens and oceans. and thous-
ands of means for enjoyment. We can
desire no better when in perfect health;
but how often do the majority of people
feel like giving it up disheartened, dis
couraged aud worried out with disease,
when there is no occasion for this feel
ing, as every sufferer can easily obtain
satisfactory proof that Green's August
Flower will make them as free from
disease as when born. Dyspepsia and
liver complaint is the direct cause of
seventy-fve per cent of such maladies
As biliousness, Indigestion, sick head
abe, costiveness, nervous prostration,
dizziness of the head, palpitation Of the
heart, and other distressing symptoms.
Three doses Of August Flower will
prove its wonderful effect. Sample
bottles, 10 cents. Try it.

Grassilopper Rayages.

Reports from Paradise are to the eff
feet that the grasshoppers are playing
sad havoc with grain about Dick
Brenchley's and Wash O'Neal's places,
and farmers in, that vicinity are said to
be cutting some fields of barley for hay
to prevent the pests from eating it up.
The grasshoppers have also raided
Pleasant valley, south of the railroad,
and left the grain fields and cattle
ranges bare. p. Sweeney, just in from
that section, says they remained as long
as they could get anything to eat and
then disappeared.

while administering justice, but opin-

dress should be military uniform
or black gown. The Government has
just decided the question in favor of
