The BEST ADVERTISING.

The most efficient advertising in behalf
of Hoods Sarsaparilla is that which
comes from the medicine itself. That IS.
those who are cured by it, speak to
friends suffering similarly, who in turn
deriye benefit and urge others to try ibis
successful medicine. Thus the circle Of
its popularity is rapidly widening from
this cause alone, and more and more are
becoming enthusiastic in behalf of Hood 5
Sarsaparilla as 1t actually demonstrates
its absolute merit All that is asked for
Hoods SarSaparIlla Is that it be given a
fair trial. Ifyou need good blood puIi-
fer, or building up medicine, try Ho)d,S
Sarsaparilla.

the opening of the reservation that they
have been little conservative, and the rush
week hence promises to be greater.
Even with the rush at present the
Indians at Lower Brule, which agency
contains about 1000 red men, are in the
best of humor, and enjoy hugely the in
cesSant strife between white men for posses
sion of lands ceded by them. The agency
is on the bottom, where the great struggle
is going Oh for possession, to be used for
town site purposes. The settlers thus far
have been of desirable character, the
tough element so common on the border
not having put in appearance as yet, but
this crowd will undoubtedly Drift in as the
opening of the reservation becomes gener-
ally known. Every effort is being exerted
by United States Marshal Fry and his force
Of deputies to preserve order and thus far
excited settlers have been held in check.
The reservation is being settled rapidly.
but in very orderly manner.

Der and provisions for point on the survey
of the Milwaukee road about sixty miles in
the interior, where they expect town of
the next few weeks. The rush continues for
the west side of the river, little attention
being given to the Crow creek reservation.
Many of the original settlers on that do
mann, who are gwen priority by the Sioux
bill, are returning and re-establishing their
residence. Many return to find that during
their absence new arrivals have taken pos
session of their lands. All of these will be
compelled to vacate in favor of the settlers
of 1885. In some cases there will be trouble
the new settlers maGiiesting determina-
ton to stick to the land. They can accom-
plish nothing by this, however, as they are
sure to be beaten when tried by the land Of
tlpa nf
sons thoroughly acquainted with the reser-
vation and who are positive that they know
of the existence of coal, started out this att
ernoon for the purpose of prospecting and
locating claims on the White river at
point about forty miles from its mouth,
where they claim coal can be found in in
exhaustable quantities. The Indians have
frequently brought in specimens, but white
persons have of late been prevented from
prospecting for the mineral. The rush is
on the increase tonight and interest una
bated. At the present rate of settlement it
would not take more than three months to
settle the entire 10000, 600 acres acquired by
the government.
