SAUCY SIOUX.
TWO OF $. BULLS BAND KILLED.
Lively Sktrmish Near Pumpkin Creek
a Company of the Second Cav
airy Capture a Small
Band of Reds

Deadwood, Feb. 1.-THE Times
Fort Keogh, Montana, special of Feb.
8, says: Sergeant Glover, b company,
Second cavalry, of this post, with ten
men and ten Indian scouts, started out
at daylight on the 4th inst, to capture
a party of five Sioux Indians, supposed
to belong to Sitting Bulls baud, who
killed one man and wounded another
some days ago on Mezpah creek. They
found them neal the head of Pumpkin
creek, when lively skirmish ensued,
which resulted in the death of two of
the Sioux, and one soldier was killed
and another wounded.
This, together with the news that
the Sioux had gotten under cover in
such a manner that Sergeant Gloyer
and his party could not get at them,
came to the post last night, and on re-
ceipt, Capt. Snyder, of the Fifth in
fantry, with his company, proceeded at
once to the scene of action and put an
end to the affair.
The scouts came in this afternoon
displaying the scalps of the two Indi-

The Philadelphia Saturday Night, in
reply to correspondent, thus describes
the boomerang" an instrument to
which POLITICAL writers and speakers
make frequent reference nowadays:
The boomerang is weapon of the
Australian aborigines and in the throw
ing of it they are very dexterous. 1t
consists of piece of hard wood, with
the curve of a parabola, and Is about
two feet long, 24 inches broad, onethird
of an inch thick, and rounded at the
extremities.
One side is fiat, the other is rounded,
and it is brought to bluntish edge. 1t
is discharged with the hand by one end,
the convex edge being forward and the
fiat side upward. After advancing
some distance, and ascending slowly in
the air with quick rotatory motion,
it begins to retrograde, and finally falls
to the ground behind the thrower. A
weapon of similar form but wanting
the return flight has been in use among
savage tribes both in India and Africa.
The surprising return motion is pro.
duced by the bulged side of the missile.
The air, impinging thereon, lifts the in
strument in the air precisely as by hit
ting the oblique bars in windmill it
forces it to go round. The Australians
are very expert in hitting birds with it,
the animals being, of course, behind
them, and not aware that they are being
shot at

PIXIES TOOTHACHE DROPS
CURE IN ONE MINUTE. daw


The most astonishing cures of ner-
vous debility, exhausted vitality, semi
nal weakness, paralysis, impurities of
the blood, impaired memory, noises in
the head and general debility, are con-
stantly being made with the great Eng
lish remedy, Sir Ashley Cooper's Vital
Restorative, by DR.. Mintie 367, Holli-
day street, Denver. The doctor claims
that any case, no matter how bad, nor
of how long standing, can be cured if
properly managed. Excitant and irri-
tant medicines should never be given
in these troubles for they only exhaust
the already impaired nerve force. The
VITAL RESTORATIVE will not
EXCITE nor IRRITATE, but being
a PURE NERVE FOOD will supply
new nerve force and build up the whole
system. Price, S3a bottle or four times
the quantity for so, sent to any ad-
dress free from observation. All dis
eases of a delicate or private nature
treated in the most scientific manner.
Charges reasonable. Office hours 10 to
3 and 6to 8; Sundays II to only. DIR.

scold, they get cross at nothing and

eat; they spit up food, they have wake
full nights. They die early because
they disregard true principles" These
troubles and many others, grow out of
