the imbeclles of the foreign Office.
Russia, he said, had always
objected to the presence of General Sir
Peter Lumsden. and now the govern
ment had gratified Russia by recalling
General Lumsden. 1t was time for the
Tories to bring about change in the adj
visers to the crown by refusing supplies.

The Common Enemy.

In order to make Roadway against the
common enemy, Disease, it is necessary
to oppose HIM with persistence. 1t very
frequently happens that remedy per-
fectly adequate to the necessities of the
case, if persisted in, is condemned and
thrown aside because a few doses of it
do not cure a malady. How unreason-
able and unjust would such a judgment
be regarding Hostetter's Stomach Bit
ters, one of the most popular and highly
sanctioned medicines of the day, a po-
tent invigorant, and an invariably sue
cessful remedy for constipation, dys-
pepsia, liver complaint, incipient rheu-
matism, neuralgia and govt. inactivity
and weakness of the kidneys and blad-
der, and for the infrmities incident to
the decline of life, No fact is better
established than the above, yet in or
der to experiments truth, those afflicted
with obstinate forms of disease should
give this benignant curative a patient
trial. If they do, they may rely upon
decisive curative results.

DR.. FooTE is the well known author
of plain Home Talk, embracing Medi-
cal Common Sense" of science IN
Story" etc., and editor of DR.. Foote's
Heath Monthly. DR.. Foote, ST., is in
Salt Lake City for the purpo-e of show
ing that the only DR.. Foote, n, or DR..
Foot, Jr., entitled to that designation,
who has made himself nsi,ieuous as a
practitioner or writer, is his son. DR.. e.
b. Foote, Jr., who has never visited
Utah or the great west, nOr practiced
medicine outside of New York, where
he has been associated with his father
for the past ten years. Anyone using
the name must show some reason that
entities him to do so, or his pretensions
will be challenged. Any one who fraud
ulently and with intent TO deceive, uses
a name which does not belong to him,
can hardly be relied upon as a safe
counsellor when health and life are at
stake.
The readers of DR.. Foote's works, all
patients who have consulted him by
letter, and the sick generally, are in
vited to call No charge for consulta-
| ton in person or by mail.
DR.. Foote'S visit viii be brought to
close as soon as the object which
brought him here is accomplished.
This unavoidable uncertainty renders
it expedient that those who wish to
avail themselves of this opportunity of
consulting the Doctor, without Incur
ring the expense of visit to New York,
| should do so without delay.

Rate Cutting.

New YORK, May 6.-The cut in a GER
tain class of passenger rates from this
city to the Pacific Coast is exciting con-
siderable attention in railroad circles,
When an inquiry on the subject was
made to-day by a reporter, he was
informed in the office of a well-known
ticket broker that the New York, West
Shore d Buffalo railroad was respon-
sible for this movement. At the Erie
offices, the general western passenger
agent said that while the old emf
grant rate from this city to
San Francisco was SOS, tickets
were sold in Europe, in connection with
steamship tickets, for about $50 at
about the first of the year. This reduc-
ton was based upon the reduction of
fare between the Missouri River and
San Francisco, which was made
in order to compete with a
route by way of New Orleans.
The recent cut originated with the
Ontario and Western road, which had
placed on sale in this city through
broken tickets that were designed
to be sold only in Europe to
genuine emigrants, This prac.
tice, which began some weeks
ago, had compelled other roads to sell
their mixed tickets at the same ruling
rate of $45. These tickets are taking the
place of the old emigrants, except on
the Pennsylvania road alone.

That Lease Proposal.

BosroN, May 6.-The conference yes
Sterday between the Union Pacific and
the Oregon Trans-Continental represen-
tatives, was OF greater Importance than
stated in last nights dispatches. 1t is
highly probable that another meeting
will be unnecessary and that the object
OF the conference will be attained with

The Half Breed Fight.

BATrLEFoRD, May 6.-Further details
Of the engage nent between Col. Offers
forces and Chief Poundmaker's Indians
show the fight lasted seven hours. The
Indians used muskets. war clubs. spears,
bows and arrows. and every conceivable
weapon OF warfare. No mention is
made in the dispatches of the killed and
wounded being brought back, and it is
Judged from the hasty return march
that they were left behind. Nothing but
thelast extremity would induce Otter to
do that. No one has any doubt now
that a bloody Indian war will follow.
The Quappelle Indians are to-day re-
ported TO have risen and left their re-
serve. Crowfoot, chief of the Blackfeet,
is related to Poundmaker and will, it is
said, Join him against the whites. The
Dominion government and Col. Otter
are blamed for not securing the ransom
of Factor Mclean and other white cap
tives before precipitating matters. Posi-
i've advice from Clarke's Crossing to-
day says Middleton began his advance
