The Cause OF Poor Health

Is often found in the neglect of ones
own self. A light cold or slight head
ache is treated as not requiring much
attention; the assumption being that
they will soon pass off, and it is only
when case of full-fedged sickness de.
velops Itself that the consequences Of
that neglect are fully realized. AS a
preventive and positive cure for Conghs
Colds, Hoarseness, Splitting of blood,
Asthma, Pains in the Chest and first

LOUISVILLE, Feb 2S.--An Indianap-
oils special to The Evening Post says:
John sontag, for four years connected
with the state treasurers office, con
firms the report that ex-Treasurer
Lemcke has been rendered tine pc ition
of United States treasurer to succeed
Treasurer Huston, and that he has ac-
copied.
Sontag further says that the president
offered Lemcke the position some months
ago when Huston rendered his resigna-
tion, but he refused TO accept it because
he did not wish to resign as state treas
urer, He prevailed upon Huston to hold
the position till his term as state treas
urer expired, and Huston therefore with
drew his res gnation.
Lemcke is a German and a popular Of
fetal. He was never identified lromi-
nently with politics till he was elected
state treasurer in 1888. He is con-
sentative and safe business man and a
firm and warm friend of the president.

CHICAGO, Feb. 2S. Mayor Cregier
has issued proclamation to the labor
ers of the country to stay away from
Chicago. He tells them that the supply
of laborers is far in excess Of the de-
mand. He says that it will be weeks
and months before the worlds fair
building work will be fairly under way;
that there are now nearly 5000 unem-
ployed workmen in Chicago. that Of
this number 1000 have come to the
city within the last two months, lured
here by the expectation that the worlds
fair work was ready TO give employ
ment to Thousands of men, and viii
urge upon every man not having a
guarantee of work to stay away from
Chicago.

throughout the country, and our police

them are almost penniless. There is no
work for them, and the result is they
become public charges. Common human

boomers In the Strip.
KANSAS CITY, Feb. %. - There is
great suffering in the Cherokee strip
among the boomers who went there from
Kansas and Missouri several weeks ago.
The blizzard caught them unplepared
for severe weather, and it is reported
that the women and children are in dam
ger Of dying from the cold. The only
fuel is buffalo chips and a heavy snow
has spoiled them for use II. A. Lewis,
just in from Arkansas, says:
81 think probably there are 500 BOOM
ers, including families, in the strip, and
half of that number are in danger of
freezing or starving. The stock is in
bad shape, and without pasturage will
not improve 80 as to get the movers out
Of the strip before great suffering comes.
The order of the secretary of the interior
for the troops to clear the strip has
caused Consideration. The military is
afraid to use force Oh SO helpless lot Of
people, and the unfor,unate5 themselves
cannot get away. Capt. A, Il. Wood
son, Of the army, says there are not
many boomers left, and other officers
have said the same thing The settlers,
however, are there, and no amount Of
soldiery can move them unless fair
weather intervenes and gives the POOR
people a chance to get something to eat
and put their stock i'll better condition.
