Just the article needed, procured a supply
for the child. On reaching home and ac-
quainting his wife with what he had
done, she refused to have it administered
TO the child, as she was strongly in favor
of homeopathy. That night the child
passed III suffering, and the parents with
out sleep. Returning home the day fol-
lowing, the father found the baby still
worse and while contemplating another
sleepless night, the mother stepped from
the room to attend to some domestic du-
ties, and left the father with the child.
During her absence he administered a
portion of the Soothing Syrup to the
baby, and said nothing. That night all
hands slept well, and the little fellow
awoke in the morning bright and happy.
The mother was delighted with the sud
den and wonderful change, and although
at first offended at the deception practiced
upon her, has continued to use the Syrup.
and suffering crying babies and restless
nights have disappeared. A single trial
ofthe Syrup never yet failed to relieve
the baby, and overcome the prejudices OF
the mother. Sold by all druggists. 25

/ two days, the Crows, came upon a
fine herd. of bh6ajoes in IL narrow
valley near by lle Yellowstone.
There were four hundred Indians
and four thousand bpffalOes.
The Crows had been forced by
fear of starvation 10 take TO the
chase, and the Keen hunger they
were suffering only sharpened their
eagerness for tilt with their fellow
homads, the noble bison,
The game stamped down the val
ley in the direction of the Yellow
stone. lThcichase was holly follow
ed, half a dozen bufaloes biting the
dust before the river was reached.
One Of the most vehement of the
,pursuers, who had distinguished
himself for bravery in two or three
fights with the Sioux, fell from his
pony in the midst Of the flying herd
and was trampled to death By, ahe-
frantic beasts.

time it seemed doubtful which held
the mastery; but the incessant fpsil-

torrent. 0 ,.a... .yJ -,.t-,"-t

A Dnnhla killing.

down to save his own life. Inquiry made by
the reporter, however, dispelled the ru-
NOR, and it vanished like the mist before

hood, The citizens have been up in arms,
determined to give the free-booters a
warm reception. Friday night one Tom

The latest senatorial story is the
organization Of the Michigan brew
ers and saloon keepers Nihilist Con-
federation. AS q great many ,Michi-
gan towns voted on the prohibition
question this spring, the lIquor deal
ers, to protect themselves, organized
an association and raised q consid-
cradle sum of money to be used in
these elections. They met with lit
lie success, however, five-sixths of
the towns adopting strict prohib-
itery laws. Thus demoralized, the
M. S. X. p. A., broke up. A new or
ganization has sprung up in its stead,
known as the Nihilist Confedera-
ton. This is secret and oath
bound association, but its main fea-
lures have leaked out; they are TO
asboycott" and buIldoze the "Tem-
iperenzlers," as the temperance peo-
pie are called. The latter will be
warned, and if the warnings are not
needed the Nihilists will begin at
once TO act. Their property win
first be destroyed, as a hint OF what
will follow. If this does not succeed
violence will be tried. A
of the Chicago lZif-
bune declares that the Nihilist Con-
federation have imported a large
number of desperadoes into the state
