DIR. J. Eugene Jordan. Seattle Wash, My
Dear Doctor am deeply indebted to you.
Your treatment for my troubles has about
restored me to health. When first wrote
you | had about given up all hope of ever
getting well, but under the influence of
your medicines my symptoms have one
by one disappeared. For more than a
week have not been troubled any with
the burning in my stomach. ] can eat
fruit now; and my bowels are more regu-
lar than they have been for years. 1t
seems too good to be true. Please accept
my heartfelt thanks for the good you have
done me. Most thankfully yours.

ESCAPED CUSTER'S FATE.
The Late Fight With the Indians Cam,
Near RPing Second Custer Massacre.

The Late Fight With the Indians Came
Near Being Second Custer Massacre.
PINE RIDGE. s. D.. Jan. SIT is evil
dent that the Seventh cavalry barely es-
capped the tragic fate of Custer in the
battle of White Clay creek. The troops
had passed the Catholic Mission and
were dismounted in the big valley, one
and one-half miles wide, just beyond
the school. At the end of this valley
is a canyon. not over seventy
five feet wide and 500 yards
long, opening into circular park. 1t
was the object of the Indians to draw
the troops into this small valley. The
soldiers were getting ready to make
rush on foot for the top of the hill when
the cry arose that they We're surrounded.
Advancing now in one. now in another
direction on either side of the valley,
they found themselves opposed each
time by from 200 to 500 Indians. Soon the
hill began to swarm with from 1.s0O to
1000 warriors, and in twenty minutes
more the tragedy would have begun,
when the untiring Ninth rode in, as
they rode before at the time of the
Meeker massacre, attacking furiously
the rear of the savage horde, scattering
them in every direction. Before the
enemy could rally from their confusion,
the boys in blue withdrew to Pine Ridge

a NEW YORK FIRE.

The Fifth Avenue Theater and Many Other
Buildings Destroyed-Six Firemen Be
ported Killed.
NEW YORK. Jan. 3.-Fifteen minutes
or so after Fanny Davenport, in the
character of Cleopatra, had left the
boards of the Fifth Avenue Theater and
the audience had passed out of the
Broadway and Twehty-eighth street en-
frances last night a watchman ran out
of the theater screaming fire" A few
seconds later fire engines were dasbing
up Broadway and until nearly o'clock
this morning still more detachments
were responding to additional signals
for help.
What was at first believed to be a
false alarm proved to be one that de-
stroyed whole block upon Broadway,
besides the Fifth Avenue Theater, Herr
mann's new play house and a dozen
stores and threatened the Sturtevant
House, on the east side of Broadway
between Twenty-eighth and Twenty
ninth streets.
The fire had been burning less than
half an hour before the flames shot
through the roof, causing the widest
CONSERVATION among the guests of the
Brewer House on the northeast corner
and the Sturtevant House. The shower
of sparks which covered the pavement
of Broadway also set fire to the avn
ings of the latter and communicated to
Hermann's Theater. To add to the con-
fusion there We're six explosions in the
Fifth Avenue Theater. which blew the
rafters sky high. and these set fire to
the roof of the buildings surrounding
The first of the series of explosions
which are thought to have been caused
by the bursting of gas tanks, came very
near being a serious affair for dozen
or more firemen under the leadership
of Battalion Chief McCabe, who were
working in the auditorium of the Fifth
Avenue Theater.
There were several lively scenes in
the Brewer House, but there was no
panic. The front of the Fifth Avenue
is of iron and as the beams vanished it
was feared it would fall out and crush
Evarard's bath house on the south side
of Twenty-eighth street, but the walls
are still standing.
According to the Herald six firemen
lost their lives by the fire in the Herr
mann Theater. The Herald story is as
follows: six fremen had gone
through Herrmann's Theater to the
roof and had Just succeeded in hoisting
a length of hose up when the furnace
opened directly at their feet. Five
of them could not be seen from
the street, but one stood outlined
against the sea of flame that rose from
the burning buildings. A shout was
made for scaling ladders by the firemen
on Broadway, but before they could be
procured the firemen was seen to take a
farewell look at the crowd below and
then to deliberately walk into the
flames and disappear"

Quite number OF families will move
from Ontario to Grenfell, and other
points in Eastern Assiniboia early in
the spring.
Since September last twenty-seven
families have left Michigan and secured
new homes in Manitoba and the Cana
dian Northwest.
A short time ago a caravan of five
wagons bearing the families and house
hold effects of number of French set
tiers passed through Morden, Manitoba,
on their way to new homes near Car
man, Manitoba. These settlers had
driven all the way from Kansas.
Mr.. F. Burnett, of Craiglea, Manitoba,
lately sold 500 acres of land to two Cana
dians who eight years ago emigrated to
Dakota, but who have now decided to
locate in Manitoba, being satisfied that
the Canadian country offers the best
chances.
Every indication points to an inn
mensely increased settlement in the
Canadian Northwest next season. The
manifold advantages of the country are
now better understood and practical
farmers and others anxious to better
their conditions in life are turning to
the Canadian Northwest.

THE TRADE OF 1890.
Dun's Report Shows 1t to Have Been I'm
precedented in Volume.

Dun's Report Shows 1t to Have Been I'm
precedented in Volume.
New YORK. Jan. 3.-R. G.. Dun & Co. s
Weekly Review of Trade says: The
new year opens with so much of uncer
tainty that there is a natural disposition
to dwell upon the crowning records of
the year just closed, which show an ex-
traordinary volume of business, in
many lines surprising all precedent.
Iron, cotton. leather. boot and shoe and
meat productions were larger than in
any previous year. Thus 2,219, 312 cattle
were slaughtered at Chicago, against
1,763, 80 in 1899, gain of 25 per cent
and 5,733,OS2 hogs, against 4,211, ,767 in
1889. gain of SO per cent. At Boston
8. 1852 cases of boots and shoes were
shipped, against 8, ,399, $50, gain of 4
per cent. The clearing house exchanges
show that the volume of all business in
1890 exceeded that of any previous year
by at least 10 per cent, though in part
this increase was due to the higher
range of prices during the greater part
of the year. The advance in prices of
all commodities, compared with n year
ago, is &C per cent, and the average
has been about SIS per cent. higher for
eight months.
The reports from other cities are al
most uniformly confident in tone and
indicate good volume and fair condi-
ton of trade. The South rejoices in
great crops and wonderful manufactur-
ing growth and for the moment no great
financial pressure, good holiday trade
and bright hopes.
