 Unseen Foes.
 Troy Kansas Chict, January IS, 1883.
 Most of our older citizens well rememoer Nose Kite (who lived ln Petersburg Bot tom), the hsro of our State early political history, who was of stalwart build and pow. erful physique: who in lo5o led colony or our people to Pike's Peak; who fought the Indians on the plains and was shot through the body; who on his return here after the rebellion was converted and baptized by Elder Henshall, of the Christian Church at Petersburg Bottom, and became revival preacher of celebrity all through this sec- tion. They will also recall the fact that. att tackled with consumption and reduced to skeleton, he was obi iged to remove to the Rockies in the hope of saving his life. None thought he would succeed. Last fall, how ever, the editor of this paper met him at the head of the Republican river, bigger and more robust than ever. ''Why, I thought you had died of consumption long, long ago, Elder?" though people thought that was what ailed me, and thought so myself. But the doc tors had sent me on wild goose chase after dozen other diseases, just as fatal, and this was the widest ore of all."
 The good Elder then recouutsd to us, in charming vein. his many adventures in the rough and ready life he had led. ' but" he said, remarkable as you may think my war like life has been, have much more inter- estlng story to tell you.
 "You know what rough, noisy fellow used to be :; and could stand any hardship. Why, on wager, have knocked down an OK and a mule with my fist. l have fought ruf6ans, border outlaws and Indians; but was
 by more dangerous unseen enemy that was ever getting me more completely ln ms clutches. Twas shot by an Indian in fight on the plains, but that wound healed readily and gave me but little trouble. After l -e- turned to Kansas and commenced preaching, I first began to give way. had dull feeling, accompanied with pain in the right side. Dr. Butler, Jour family phys; clan, said my liver was out of order, caused by the malaria of the bottoms. I had always bad an appetite seriously impaired. While oa the circuit preaching, consulted doctor, who said l had dyspepsia. After that, distressing pal pitation of the heart followed, and tho physl- clan said this was caused by my indigestion and diseased liver, which would probably | terminate fatally. Sometimes had ra- venous appeti5e, st others rone at all. Twas | feverish and then chilly. My food seemed 1 to do me no good. A specialist told me l 1 had tape worm! Then l was troubled with unusual quantities of water and frequent desire to urinate, which was done with difh- culty and great pain. The specialist said had touch of the gravel, caused by the use of the alkaline water of the plains. l then began to suffer severe pains in the lolns and l the small of the back, accompanied with sudden attacks of dizziness, during which l | had to sit or lie down, to avoid falling. l l was forced to abandon

 because could no longer ride on horseback, seriously alarmed, and sought the advice of the most noted physician within reach. He said that my frequent horsebac riding had jolted and jared me until the old Indian wound, which had injured my kidneys, had become infaned. He treated me with medicines and electricity also, but gave me | no permanent benefit. My painful symptoms all returned. l began to cough, got very thin and my legs were disagreeably numb 1 began to despair. At each attempt to cure my ailments became worse, with new symp- | toms. I next consulted Q celebrated physi. clan from the East, who, after humping and examining me, stated that was in ar | advanced stage of consumption and threat ened with diabetes and paralysis lie thought might possibly prolong my life for yea or two, by seeking higher and drler climate This was my condition when tEe people ir your part of the country last saw me.
 Then I starte1 for the Rockies but liked this country, and settled here, At first the change helped me, but about three years age the benefit ceased. Then l failed so rapidly that ] could b9 out of bed only part of eact day. All my old symptoms returned. Al
