A Letter,s IYandarincs.

A letter with history passed through
Bath the other day. 1t was directed to
Capt. B. s. Rairden, Manila, Philippine
Islands, and, as the handwriting showed,
was written by Capt. Rairden's sister,
Mrs. Abbie Peterson, who, with her hus-
band, was lost at sea six years ago.
Across the end of the letter was written
direction to return the letter to Bath
in case Capt. Rairden's vessel had sailed.
The letter had thus been wandering over
the world for six years, and, though
somewhat faded, the envelope had not
been opened and is in an excellent con-
dition. Capt. Rairden is now in busi-
ness in AMER, Java, and the letter has
been sent on its way to that place

A Forged Picture in Paris.

About two months ago it was an
nounced that at a certain sale Of pictures
in Paris one of Rosa Bonheur's best
works would be offered. When, at the
sale, this piece was set up for vendue,
somebody arose in the crowd and cried
out: THAT picture is not by Rosa Bon
heur!" The auctioneer resented the in
terruption. "No," cried the stranger, ~

upon the public; the painting is a forg-
cry. l am Rosa Bonheur, and I surely

A Scrap Of Paper Saves Her Life.

1t was just an ordinary scrap of wrap
ping paper, but 1t saved her life. She
was in the last stages of consumption
told by physicians that she was incura-
BILE and could live only short time;
she weighed less than seventy pounds.
On piece Of wrapping paper she read
of DR.. Kings New Discovery, and got
a sample bottle; it helped her, she
bought a large bottle, it helped her
more, bought another and grew better
fast, continued its use and is now strong,
healthy, rosy, plump, weighing lao
pounds. For further particulars send
stamp to w. III. Cole, druggist, Fort
Smith. Trial bottles of this wonderful
discovery free at I. Leist's drug store.

A Strange Case.

Had Mrs. II. A. Gardner, of Vistula, Ind,
lived two thousand years ago she would have
been thought to be possessed by evil spirits.
She was subject to nervous prostration, head

forty or fifty spasns day. Though having
been treated by eight physicians for years
without success, she was permanently cured
by one bottle of DR.. Miles Restorative Ner-
vine. A trial bottle of this new and wonder
full medicine, and a finely illustrated treatise

and guarantees it.

Jim Blaine has Come down o peg
from his high protection perch. He
wants free trade between the United
States and the South American coun-

of the fellows who were 90 rampant in

company the voter into the stall or
precinct and make out his ballot for
him, receive and count the ballot and
make returns to a federal election
board, who announce the result of
the election to the clerk of the house
of representatives. This bill places
the authority of the supervisor above
that of any officer in the state. BY
allowing the appointment of mar

will further Cypress the people by
making them pay the millions of dol
lars that it will cost for such super
vision. This bill has passed the
house of representatives at Washing
ton and been most cordially endorsed
by the convention of the republican
party of this state, which nominated
my competitor, the Hon. Lewis T.
Baxter.
l am sure that the endorsement of
this bill does not meet the approval
of the masses of the republicans of
this state. The chief purpose of the
bill is to perpetuate the power of the
republican party by giving the negro
supremacy in the south; and we can.
not believe that they are willing to
purchase partisan power at such a
price. If such law should find it,
self on our statute books, as it seems
destined to do at the next session of
congress, the terrible days of recon-
struction would be again enacted, the
hope of the future prosperity of the
south would be blasted, business
would be paralyzed and a war oil
races engendered. 1t would bring
disaster and ruin to the negro, for
this land, secured to US by the blood
of our torefathers, has been and ever
will be a white mans government
and those who would attempt t.
wrest it from the control of their de
scendants are traitors to their coun

Smiths Tonic Syrup.

This famous remedy was discov-
cred by the eminent DIR. John Bull,
of Louisville Ky. 1t is intended as a
scientific substitute for quinine, and
is rapidly superseding the use of this
drug. For any ailment that may
indicate a need of quinine Smiths
Tonic Syrup may be prescribed in
preference andwith more satisfactory
results, as it never leaves any un-
pleasant after-effects, such as fullness
of the head, headache, buzzing in the
ears, deafness, uneasy or aching sensa-
tons, nausea, commissions, paralysis,
etc. 1t has all the good medical
Qualities of quinine and is free from
its many evil tendencies. AS a tonic,
anti,periodic and anti>pyretic, it is
unexcelled by any drug known to
medical science. In cases of malaria,
colds, influenza, inordinate temper
allure Of the body, feverish symptoms,
chills and fever, ETC., no other RENE
dy can be used with such certainty
of beneficial effects. It is a certain
antidote for the evil influences of
malaria and climatic changes.

Flowers For The Children.

Vick's Magazine.
Like attracts like; what more nat
ural, then, than the affinity which
exists between the two loveliest
earthly creations-children and flows
ers?
If one could believe in the trans
migration of souls, it would not be
hard to trace the sunny-faced child
in the pansy, and the angel in the
child,
However curious and delicate the
link which connects flowers and lit
tie people, it undeniably exists in
greater force than the unthinking
imagine.
Many a time have / seen little
boy of six or seven years of age who
seemed incorrigible under punish
ment, become tractable with the
promise OF a pansy for his button
hole.
How quickly the hard clouds
cleared from the little face, the eyes
shone bright as stars after storm, the
little month curved into sweetest of
smiles, and all the dimples broke
into play when the promised treasure
was placed in his hands.
His mother is wisely acting upon
the hint, and finds pansy bed more
effectual in the management of this
little individual than bundles of birch
boughs or apple shoots.
Is not this advancement along the
line of civilization To give the
principle wider application it might
be reduced to an axiom that just in
the proportion that natural beauty
finds a place in our homes, and the
love oft in our lives, do we rise in
the scale of culture.

And on this question you will re-
member the very pertinent question
asked by no less a person than Mr..
Blaine in his recent letter on recipro-
city as to where or in what way the
Mckinley tariff bill, now pending
before congress, provided a market
for a farmer for a single additional
barrel of pork or single bushel of
wheat. But this tariff hens in the
country almost like a Chinese wall
from foreign imports, thereby dimin.
ishing exports of American products.

were not authorized to make under the
bill, and which the Indians regard as a
part of the conditions under which they
give up their lands. He holds that I'M
less these promises are carried out
faith is broken, and the Indians will
have just cause to complain of their
treatment at the governments hands.
Representative Picker, of South Da-
kota, has just had an interview with the
president on this subject. The president
told him that he had not had time to ex-
anime the report of the commission as
fully as he wanted to before issuing the
proclamation. He asked Maj. Picker
many questions about the probable on
dition in which settlers would find them
selves if they were to rush in there in
considerable numbers at this season of
the year, and from the tone of his talk
gave the inference that he was disposed
to act as soon as the press of business al
lowed him to do so with a full under
| standing of the situation.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-Some more
land office receivers have been found
short in their accounts and the secretary
of the interior will continue his work of
removal. The special agents have clear
cases against fourteen. The amount
which S. S. Smith, Of Devils Lake, n.
d., is alleged to be short, is $1,2S7. 1t is
said at the department that nine receiv-
ers will be removed during the day, all
for cause. No hint was given as to what
part of the country they hail from,
though it is known that a special agent
has been looking over the accounts in the
South Dakota offices as well as those in
North Dakota. Minnesota has escaped

PIERRE, S. D., Jan. 21.-There is now
a complete and thorough organization
among the boomers who are here anx-
iously awaiting the presidents proclama-
ton opening the reservation, and they
expect to move over the minutet the news
comes over the wires to that effect. The
South Pierre boomers have also reor-
ganized and will again attemptto occupy
the townsite that they attempted to cap
ture some time since, and Fort Pierre cit
liens are making extensive preparations
to guard against a renewal of the attack.
More troops have been sent from the
forts above here to assist the Fort Pierre
people and to preserve order. A special
train has arrived over the Northwestern
road having on board a number
of officials of thatroad, who went direct
ly from their car over to Fort Pierre,
and have since been operating on the
mile square. They are acting very mys-
t%eriously, and it is certain that they are
laying out what land they intend to
claim according to the recent manifesto
from Marvin Hughitt. Black Toma-
hawk. the Indian pre-emptor of the same
land, has completed his residence and
now claims he will enforce his rights.
Fort Pierre is booming in great shape.
Houses are springing up as if by magic,
and all is hustle and confusion. Every
one is on the tip-toe of expectation, and
people are becoming desperate in their
greed. Every hour in the day the In
dian police have to drive parties back
into the mile square. The advices from
the interior department show that the
government is undecided how to pro-
coed Oh the mile-square question. and it
has certainly partially recognized the
claims G. both the settlers thereon and
the railroad company, yet tries to claim
the land for the government. 1t is OBJ
vious from the indications that it will be
many years before the matter will be
settled as to the title thereof.
