LAW AND ORDER OUT WEST.


TULSA, l. T., Nov. 20. "A band of des.
peradoe, Tuesday night overlook United
States Marshal Curtis and three Caddo
Indians who were taking two captured
horse thieves to Wichita. A fight ensued
The marshal and the two guards were over
powered, robbed, bound to trees
and abandoned. The desperadoes then
raided the Sac and Fox:agsncy village,
stealing many horses and abusing the In
dian women. Agent Mel was absent They
wounded a son OF keokuk, the son of the
head chief of the tribe
1t is a strange fact that many of the
whites of the region are more Lrutal and
savage than the aborigines. II Hundreds of
civilized Sacs and Foxes 1.-Two IN dread of
attacks and outrages from the ruthle 8
white desperadoes of Texas and Arkansas
Among the band were the two notorious
Thurston brothers, both Eurderers. and
Frank Starr, Texas outlaw, who has
killed six men, Two outlaw Cherokees also
assisted in the raid.
The two housewives who were in Curtis
charge were, of course, released. In fact,
this was the purpose Of the raj l.. and it was
brought about by the knowledge that a
party of cattlemen were waiting near the
reservation intending to take the thieves
from the marshal and hang them. These
facts will give some idea of the difficulties
under which the authorities labor in the at
tempt to enforce law and order.

ATHLETICS.
WHAT PHYSICIAN HAS TO SAY REGARD
ING IT AND ITs RESULTS.

The papers have been making deal
of game lately of the athletic develop
ment sought for in out leading uuiver>
sites. "A. NJ" they say, no longer
means master of arts" hut master OF
athletics"
Well, perhaps The boys do run some
what to extremes, but after all this ad.
mration for physical development is all
right-it is natural and should, under
proper circumstances, be cultivated!
AS a nation, we are too much given to
Ii Dor without sufficient and regular re
taxation.
Pick up an English weekly and there
is from two to four columns of sporting
news in it. But not one American paper
in | 900 ever has line of such news in
it. Why2 Because the American people
are not a sport loving people there Is
no money in it."
But sport can be carried to excess, and
athletes are not athletes forever. Even
the strongest and most stalwart men are
mastered at last by some lmprudence or
neglect ard some of them run down very
quickly and early in life. DR.. A. W. Me-
Names, of Waterloo, was formerly a
perfect Hercules Proud of his strength,
as he says, one day in 1881 he tried to
lift box which four men could not
bulge. He got it on the wagon, but it
nearly broke him up. 1t hurt him in
ternally and he vomited blood: THAT
was my last attempt at being fool. My
back was very weak. had no appetite
and at times loathed food. My lips were
parchcd and cracked. My head felt as
though it were entirely open at the top
and it panied me on the side intensely.
In six weeks time | had fallen awaw from
EOS pounds to less than 100. l was in a
very wretched condition. | was COM

Brght's disease of the kidneys, but even
after all my physicians had said | could

was studying medicine at Ann Arbor
Michigan, used to vow with the rest of
the class that would fight all proprietary
remedies at all times, When man comes

his wife and friends good bye, rs | did,
such bigoted prejudices as these all vans
ish, can assure you.
"And how have you been since lSSl?'
"As well as, or better than before"
"Do you still try your strength
Certainly but do not over>exert, MS
formerly, even though my health is num-
Der one"
DR.. McNames is a regular graduate
and he speaks from knowledge. as well
as from experience and his words should
be needed not only by athletes but by all
persons who fancy they are naturally too
robust ever to be mastered by any in>
trinity.

Hardened Liver.

Five years ago broke down with kid
