allied western Indians. under the chieltaln-
ship OF ElskWatnwa. the -Prophot.- were
defeated In November. 1911, by the Ameri-
cans under the commend OF Gen. VIM. II.
Harrison.
II was desperate. hard fought battle.
and much depended upon the result
Had the Indians been successful all bar
riers OF defense for the early settlers would
have been overthrown. and the deadly TOM
ahawk would have been active In the rapid
determination or the remaining pioneers.
On the other hand. the fortunate termina-
ton OF the contest put an end TO further
attempts at open warfare by tho Indians.
The rich territory. so long oyerrun by

the news Of the great victory became wide-

Naturally great praise was rendered to the
success and intrepid bravery OF Gen. Harri-
son, and nc was honored In many ways.
He afterward served as Commander Of the
Army OF the Northwest. and when Indiana
was admitted TO statehood he was selected
to represent the state In the United States
Senate. In 1910 he was elected President,
and his unfortunate demise occurred shortly

IMPROVEMENT IN TRADE.
Dun's Agency Reports Better Business
with Plenty of Money.

Dun's Agency Reports Better business,
with Plenty of Money.
In their review Of trade for last week r..
G.. Dun e. Co said:
There arc distinct signs of improvement in
business Reports from interior points, almost
without exception, indicate an Enlargement or
trade. Rapid advance in sugar, coffee cotton,
butter and oats are nearly balanced by the de-
cline in wheat aud corn, pork products print
cloths, leather aud other articles, so that tho
general average OF prices il but n shade higher
than a week ago. But further disbursements by
the Treasury have increased the already album
dant supply OF money the market for securities
has improved and exports continue to increase.
The most significant feature OF the weeks
commercial news Is the report OF furnaces In
blast April l. which shows q weekly output of
anthracite and bituminous iron only 675 tons
less than March !, and nearly 1000 tons or 80
fact is that with production close to the larg
est ever known prices scarcely yield Mt all. The
sharp advance OF 80 cents per 100 pounds in raw
sugar, with the purchase OF tho San Francisco
refinery for the trust accompanies a sudden rise
of six cents in the trust stock. The boot and
shoe trade is said TO be large beyond precedent.
Leather is shade lower aud hides are over
abundant. Raw cotton has risen q quarter. In
Oil lower prices caused n decrease OF $500 600
in value for March and the market has been
dull and weak: The market for raw, wool
in price Is expected Copper and tin are still
somewhat weaker, and the excessive supplies
still suppress the coal market, which is worse
than dull The volume of business Is unsatis-
factory and sales below schedule rates are re-
ported. Without exception reports from the
interior show that money is abundant, though
In few instances the demand is improving.
Fears of disturbance in connection with April
settlements have passed. The reports OF the
increase in the spring wheat acreage continues
and sowing has progressed favorably the sea
son being about three weeks earlier than last
year. The business failures numbered 239, as
against a total OF 222 the previous week.

A Life Made Miserable

BY dyspepsia is scarcely worth the living. A
capricious appetite, heartburn, puzzling nervous
symptoms, increased action Of the heart after

and fatulence after, are among the successive
indicia of this harassing complaint. Two things
only are needful for it's removal. A resort to
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, and persistence in
its use. These remedial measures being adopted,
n cure Is certain. Taken Immediately before or
after meals, this great stomachic promotes secre.

consequent upon chronic indigestion disappear,

Timing the Hat.

The custom of lifting the hat had its
origin during the age of chivalry, when
it was customary for knights never to
appear in public except in full armor.
1t became q custom, however, for a
knight, upon entering an assembly of
friends, to remove his helmet, signify
ing II am safe in the presence of my
friends" The age of chiyalry passed
away with the fifteenth century, but
among the many acts of courtesy which
can be traced back to its influence,
none is more direct in its origin than
that of lifting the hat to acknowledge
the presence Of friend.
