why ID Is SO,

The reason why DR., David Ken.
nedy's "FavOritc Remedy" cures com,
plant of the Liver, Kidneys, Bowels

the very remedies which Nature herself
has provided for this purpose. Being
at first scattered through the woods
and fields, DR.. K. has collected them,
and after long and careful experiment
has condensed their virtues in the form
which he now confidently offers to the
sick and suffering. One Dollar eXpend-

A settler on the upper Skagit river
had some trouble with Indians last
week, and a fight ensued, resulting in
the death of two Indians. This caused
much excitement, and the settlers left
the river for the lower settlements.
\ surveying party was also warned
out of the country by Indians. The
surveyors called for the protection of
troops, which have been furnished by
Gen. Howard Some of the trouble
some Indians are from the jurisdiction
of Moses, and some are supposed to be-
long to the Tulalip agency. Agent
John OKeane has gone to the scene
of trouble to look after his Indians.

The elections in Ohio and Indiana
on Tuesday resulted in sweeping re-
publican victory, Ohio giving 10000
republican majority, and Indiana TO-
600. In both states the republicans
have gained several members of Con-
gress. The republican victory virtu-
ally decides the presidential contest
next month, and there is scarcely a
doubt that Garfield will carry every
northern state, leaving to the demo-
cratic party only its rebellious breth-
rem of the solid south. The country is
not yet ready to turn the government
over to the rebel brigadiers.

The Boise City Statesman says Col.
Stone, accompanied by an interpreter,
left Boise City on the 9th ult., for the
Bruneau valley, in compliance with
an order from Gen. Howard, to inves-
tigate the cause of recent complaints
of settlers with regard to the threat
ened trouble with the Indians in that
quarter. The settlers in the Bruneau
valley have, as they think, reason to
believe that the Duck ALLEY Indians
intend to come into the valley to pass
the winter, and a this could not be
peaceably submitted to by the whites,
they have applied to the military to
look into the matter. Col. Stone goes
without escort and merely to see what
cause there is for the apprehensions
expressed by the settlers.

A freighter who had some trouble
with the Ute Indians in Colorado and
killed one of them, was allowed by the
agent to be taken by the Indians. His
remains were afterwards found at the
stake, where the Indians had burned
him. The affair has created intense
excitement on the frontier, and there
will be trouble. \ recent dispatch says:
The outrage at Cline's ranch. on the
Cimmaron, in allowing prisoner to
fall into the hands of Indians to be
butchered when there were over 400
troops encamped at the place, is with
out parallel in history, and has ere
ated the widest excitement in all from
tier towns along the borders of the res
ervation. Indignation meetings are
being held not only in various towns
but also in every mining camp, and
the feeling upon the subject is becom-
ing so intense that it is liable to break
forth in hostile demonstrations that
will annihilate the whole Ute nation
The conduct OF the Indian agent at
Los Pinos agency, W. II. Berry, in al
lowing such an outrageous crime to
be committed, when be had force Of
over 400 troops at his command, has
created a public sentiment that is Ii
able to compel him to call on the mil
itary for protection.

George Benton was arraignsd for

solicitude for poor George. Everything
that money and influence could do was
done to save him, but it all failed; he
was sentenced to death. Straightwsy
the Governor was besieged with petit

were brought by fearful young girls, by
sorrowful old maids, by shoals Of i'm

New George Benton experienced re.

From that time forth his cell was a.

flowers; all the day long there was
prayer and hymn singing and thanks
givings and homilies and tears, with
never an interruption, except an coca
sionsl fve-minute intermission for re-
freshments.
This sort of thing continued up to
the very gallows, and George Benton
went proudly home, in his black cap,
before wailing audience Of the sweet

produce. His grave had fresh flowers

headstone bore these words, under a
