THE ENDIAN COUNTRY.
a Strong Feeling Against the Redskins
In Arizona.

Fort SCOTT, Ks, April 21.--The Monitor,
of this city, has received letter from the
Hon. Il. +. Ware, brother.in-lsw Of Judge
McComas, recently killed by Indians near
Silver City, giving an outline of the situa-
tion in the Indisn country and the efforts
which are being made to recover Charley
McComas, the little son of the Judge, who
was captured by the Indians when they
killed his parents. The good Offices OF the
governors of Chihuahua and Sonora, Mexico,
have been secured, large reward has been
offered, and photograph circulated through
out the entire Indian country. The where
abouts OF the boy are not knoWp, and but
little hope is entertained Of his recovery
during hostilities. Should truce occur, he
may be obtained, but should the party in
whose hands ne ia be attacked by our troops
or by Mexicans, there is 10 doubt be would
be killed at once. The letter says the feel
irg against the Indians is very intense among
the people throughout Arizona, and they are
strongly opposed TO allowing any Indian
reservation to remain in Arizona. Beyond
this, the letter contains nothing new.

ONE STEP AHEAD,
What a Country Doctor did not Live to
see-The Triumph of To- Day.

The writer's father was q country doctor, and
with ell their faults, country doctors are, as q
class, noble and selfsacriacing men Through
all weathers in all seasons, and over the worst of
roads, they drive on missions OF mercy-generally
for small compensation, and often for none at all
To the country doctor in question: as he sat in his
buggy, an Irishman, who had stopped him on the
road, was relating his suffering from what he
called "a dreadful pain in me chist."
"oh, Pat" said the doctor. perhaps impatient
at the detention, "put mustard plaster on your
chest"
AN viii that suck out The pain, DoctorH"
asked Pat, wanting foundation for his faith.
"It won'thurt you. anyway, Pat, answered the
doctor, whipping up his horse, then continuing
to his companion: " Ny san, wish somebody
would invent plaster that would suck out pain,
as Pat put it. have plenty of plasters, some Of
which make myself and some others that are
patented, but frea to admit TO YOU that there
isn't much virtue in any of them"
This was years ago, snd the GOOD doctor IS gone
where, we are told, no one is ever sick He didn't
live to see or hear of BENsoN'S CAPCINE POROUS
PLASTER, which, in Pats rude phrase suck,
OUT so much pain Today The doctor in con.
neetion with his practice, Kept E little village
drug store, where he dispensed the cheap and
common plasters of the time, whose merit" he
used to say must reside in the holes for he didn
see as they had any other"
Fer that pain of yours, try the CAPCIFE, which
