Wilcox telegraphs to the Indian office
that company of rangers are now near
the san Carlos agency, evidently intend

and ii is thought that serious results may
ensue. The agent expresses fear that the
Indians cannot be influenced to act solely

should not be put to the test. Secretary
Teller instructed the agent to caution

STRICKEN DOWN.
A Foe Against Whom Bolts and Bars
Are Useless-A Story OF Society.

To prevent disease is always easier and
cheaper than to cure-it. This axiom is true
as it is old. At present the leading peril to
health and life in the United states is in Ma
laria-or bad air. Malaria is a broad name
for many diseases. 1t has multitude Of
shapes, but only one nature and result. IN
cluded in this family are bilious fever, typhoid
and typhus feyers, chills and fever, and all
diseases which originate in blood poisoning
There is no other force so insidious as malaria
1t attacks the poor in their cabins and the rich
in their palaces. The scientific plumbing b,
which the wealthy seek to keep this pest out
of their houses, fails as completely as the
charms with which superstitious people try IL
ward of the influence of evil spirits. Malaria
enters where it wills and vital statistics and
saddened homes complete the dismal story.
Malaria permeates the atmosphere and strikes
down victims in all classes of society.
What can be donee lie who furnishes q
preventive or remedy is surely a greater
friend TO his kind than he who discovers new
gold mine. The proprietors of BENsON'S
CAPCINE POROUS PLASTERS recommend
them as the most effective and trustworthy
anti-malarial specific now known to medical
science The mode of action is easily under
stood. They act upon the liver. spleen. bowels
and kidneys through the skin, assisting these
organs to throw off the poison. Thousands
can testify to their efficacy in aiding the
struggling system to east of its load Formed

BERLIN, April 24.-The North Gern1Ql,

criticizing the report from Mr.. Sargent,
the American Minister here, to the Ameri-
can Secretary of State, published in the
New York Handels Zettitng on March 10.
in regard to the action eff Germany on
the importation of American pork. Phe
North GermdR Gazette, after referring to
what 1t regards as Il suggestion of re-
prisals in the report, says that it is re-
markable to find Mr.. Sargent's signature
at its foot. If the report suggests re-
prisals in order to force American tri-
china upon German consumers it uses an
argument similar to that which formed
the basis of the Chinese Opinm war.
