The Devil Fish described by nugo

Is not more tenacious monster than malaria,
whether it takes the form of chills and fever,
bilious remittert, ague cake or dumb aguc. Like
the octopus of the story it clasps the victim in
its tentacula, and folds him closer and closer in
horrible embrace. Attacked with Hostetter s
Stomach Bitters, however, it gradually relaxes
its tremendous grip, finally abandons it, and the
quondam sufferer, liberated at last, rejoices in
the sense Of new born freedom. engendered by
the restoration of complete health. Dyspepsia,
too, and constipation, those old and remorseless
enemies OF the human family, give ground ana
are finally driven from the field by this Napoleon
of remedies, the greatest the purest in the family
pharmaeop9ia. Rheumatism succumbs to it, so
do kidney troubles The nerves, when over
strained, regain quietude and vigor by its aid,
and the ability to rest TRANQUILITY and eat with
zest are increased by it, Resort to it in time and
avoid unnecessary suffering

atOr stewart About IL.


at0r stewart About IL.
This Winter o remonstrance from citi-
liens Of the northern part of the county
and Southeastern Oregon. against the
abandonment of the military post at Fort
McDermit, was sent to our Senators at
Washington. Yesterday the following
relative to the matter was received:
UNITED STATES SENATE
WASHINGTON. d. c., Jan. 20, 1883.
FERD. RIED AND OTHERS, Wiunemucca,
New, Gentlemen: The inclosed letter
from the Secretary Of War will explain
itself. You will observe that Fort Me-
Dermit will be maintained until next
Spring, when further report will be made
by the officer in charge. If the report is
favorable, we can probably have the mill
tary post maintained with garrison.
Yours truly, w. M. STEWART.
WAR DEPARTMENT,
WASHINGTON CRY, January IL, 1885.
SIR: | have the honor to acknowledge
the receipt of your letter of 2Sth ultimo,
enclosing and commenting to favorable
consideration two petitions from citizens
of Nevada, praying for the continuance
of the military post of Fort McDermit, in
that State.
In reply beg to state that in a report
of an inspection of the post of Fort Nc.
Dermit, made October 3, 1887, by Assis-
tant Quartermaster General A. j. Perry,
Chief Quartermaster of the Division of
the Pacific, he referred to the great ex.
pense of it's maintenance, because of the
excessive cost of fuel and forage, and of
transporting stores over the IS miles OF
wageR road which intervenes between the
post and railroad, and for these reasons
recommend it's abandonment in the Spring
of 1888. This recommendation received
the approval of the Department Com
mander and the Lieutenant General of the
Army, and was also approved by the
Secretary of War.
The post wdl be maintained until
Spring, in any event. and if it becomes
necessary to retain troops there after that
time, the proper military commanders
will, in accordance with instructions
already given, make a report on the sub.
ject for the action of the Department.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant.
w. c. ENDIooTT,
Secretary Of War.

cries "Grand right and left" Cowboy
stands in, and at end of change finds him
self standing with portly merchants

iously crowds cowboy out of his place.
Cowboy stands back, and deliberately
sizes up portly merchant. Comes to the
conclusion that the portly merchant would
be too much for him at close quarters.
Cowboy throws his sombrero on the floor.
bitches up his pants, thrusts his right
hand into the rear pocket thereof, and in
rodeo voice thus delivers himself:
Partner, | corrslled that air heifer. She
are maverick, leastwise you hain't got

better part of valor and sits down. Mu-
sic starts up, and cowboy finishes the
gallop with the "heifer" of his choice.
