PILES! PILES! PILES!
A Sure Cure Found at Last No
One Need Suffer!

A sure Cure for Blind, Bleeding,
Itching and liberated Piles has
been discovered by DR.. William, ian
Indian Remedy, called DR.. Will
liam's Indian Ointment. A single
box has cured the worst chronic
cases of 25 or thirty year s standing.
No one need suffer five minutes
after applying this wonderful soOth-
ing medicine. Lotions, instruments,
and electuaries do more harm than
good. Williams Ointment absorbs
the tumors, allays the intense itch
ing, particularly at night after get
ting warm in bed acts as p0ultice,
gives instant relief, and is prepared
only for Piles, itching of the private
parts, and for nothing else :.
Read what the Hon. j. NJ. Coffin
berry, of Cleveland, says about DR.
Williams Indian Pile Ointment: I
have used scores of Pile Cures, and
it affords me pleasure to say I have
never found anything which gave
such immediate and permanent re-
lief as DR.. Williams Indian Oint-
ment.

position of President of the Senate Davis
manifested considerable indignation in
alluding to the various newspaper in
Situations that he had sold himselfto the
republicans. He was very emphatic IN
reasserting that not single word tending
to commit himself to the republicans
had passed between him and them prior
to his acceptance of the position. His
speech has rendered the Senate officials
and employees happy.

sioner Dewdney arrived to-day, having
driven from Fort Qu'Appelle to Grand
Valley, thence down the Assinnaboine
by steamer, He reports Indian affairs
very satisfactory. Everything is quiet,
and large crops have been sown on farms
on the Indian reserve. He had an inter-
view with Sitting Bull, to whom he COM
munlcated the intelligence that he need
not expect any reservation from the
Canadian government. Bull has been
deserted by most of his chiefs aud war;
riors, who surrendered to the American
authorities. The thirty or forty lodges
encamped on the banks of the Qu'Ap-
pelle consisted principally Of old men,
women and children. 1t is thought he
will pay o visit shortly to Winnipeg, and
D ewdney ultimately expects him to sur
render to the American authorities un-
less he is persuaded to make tour of
Canada and the United States with some
menagerie.

pliance with the, desire intimated by you
at our interview yesterday, that vacate
the office of commissioner Of pensions in
order that you may appoint another per-
son to the place, have the honor to ten
der my resignation. In surrendering to
your hands the important trust to which
l was commissioned by ex-President
Grant at the commencement of the last
year Of his term, and administered
through the four succeeding years under
ex-p President Hayes, 1 point with satis-
faction to the records Of this Office and of
the department Of the interior, as show
ing an increase Of work performed since

These records when supplemented by
the records Of congress reported to the
house of representatives March 8, 1881,
by the select committee on pensions,
bounty and back pay, also establish be-
yond successful contradiction that every
allegation and pretense which have yet
ventured into publicity derogatory to
me personally or to my management of
