ITS CAUSE AND CURE
BY AN ENGLISH PHYSICIAN

This painful malady was formerly
considered to be entirely the result
of age, cold or exposure, but medical
science has now demonstrated that
1t is disease in the blood, which
may be inherited in so dangerous q
form as to cause death in youth or
middle age, and even in infancy.
That the enemy courses through the
veins, mixed in life fluid, in a liquid
form for certain length OF time;
that 1t gradually, through variety
! of causes, becomes partially solidi-
fed into a sort of clayey substance
This accommodating in the joints of
the fingers. toes and limbs, becomes
an obstruction to the circulation, and
in time stiffens the joints, causing
in many instances great pain and
suffering. 1t also materially affects
the healthy action of the vital Or
| gans, interfering with the heart, the
stomach and the kidneys. Il rem
| edV such as that known as Britannia
is the best that can be taken to re-
move the disease, and to give the
proper tone TO all parts of the sys-
TEN. No external application can
remove rheumatism Patients who
use various oils, lotions and lini-
ments, are dying every day from
this disease. But no one has yet
died of rheumatism to my know
ledge who used Britannia, even
when the disease was so far advan-
ced as to cause complete prostra
ton. This valuable family medi-
cine can pc be obtained at lions

Indian Commission.


Senators Dawes of Massachusetts,
Cameron of Wisconsin, Morgan Of
Alabama, and Vest of Missouri, will
be at Fort Custer in 4 week or more to
consult with the Crows regarding a
retrocession of part of their reserva-
ton. They will also meet represent
atives of the rowing Cheyennes at
Fort Keogh to treat with them about
going upon reservation and remain
ing there out of the way of the Gus
ter county stockmen. At the Custer
conference proposition will he dis
cnssed which is something like this:
That the Crows settle upon lands III
severalty; that the lands upon which
they settle be alternate quarter Sec
tlons; that the other half of the land
be opened to the settlement of whites
only. The conceivers of this plan
hope, by thus placing whites and In
dians in close contact to bring about
the speedy civilization of the latter.
It seems more probable that the result
would be the decentralization Of both
classes that the iels would imbine
all the worst that they could learn
from the whites, and that the latter
would be degraded by their connection
with the savages.
The Rawlins Journal says: On We'd
nesday. the 10th inst, dis patch was re-

stated that fatal shooting affray had ta-

dispatched to the scene of the tragedy at
once. Mike S. Crow and John Robinson
were cowboys in the employ OF Clay s.
Co., better known by their ~" brand.
Robinson bore the alias of ''Tex" and the
reputation Of a hard citizen. They were
with party engaged in driving cattle
into Rock Creek for shipment. Robin
son seems to have had a dislike fer Grow,
who was Il new arrival or tenderfOot,
and a quarrel took place between
the two ON Thursday, the 3th instant.
| Another alteration ersued on the 10th,
and "Tex'' threatened to shoot Crow,
but was prevented by his companions.
Later in the day he did fire one shot at
him, but missed, and Crow, being un-
armed, ran 'sTex'' id his luck at
missing him, but said he would kill him
when he got close enough. That even
iug Grow s'got the drop" on the desperate
when they met ut supper, made him 8 i've
up his pistol, leave his tent and saddle his
horse; then told him to go. "Tex."
swore he would return and kill Grow,
who, upon a repetition OF this assertions
coupled with terrible oaths, sent bullet
through "1cx," killing him al
most instantly. Crow then went to
Rock Creek aud gave himself up as be-
fore stated.

II is beyond a doubt that Blaine is
Nevada's favorite in the Presidential

taking exceptions to the movement set

he is opposed to Blaine, and he would

better than is done in the Appeats

was Grant man. first last, and always,
and would accept the nomination
under no other circumstance. Ii un-

if pledged to anybody else he would
