and its positive medicinal merit is proven by
thousands of voluntary witnesses whom 1t
has cured of diseases more or less severe.
Hence the best advertising in behalf of
Hoods Sarsaparilla comes from the medi-
cine itself. That is, those who are cured by
1t, recommend it to suffering friends, who in
turn derive benefit and urge Others to try
this successful medicine. The circle of its
popularity grows rapidly from this cause
alone. If you need a good spring medicine,
take Hoods Sarsaparilla. 1t

It appears that there are fashions

ones are disadvantage to the pockets
and health of people of moderate
means. Good Housekeeping quotes q
Chicago butcher as follows:
"In thin, slight cattle the butchers
take out the teuderloin in one piece.
The bone is extracted from what should
be the surloin, and there remains what
are known as "boneless butts" The
meat is stripped and makes so-called
sirloins. Naturally this meat is any
thing but prime meat, and brings an
apparent low price. The cheap restau-
rants are the purchasers of this meat,
and through these restaurants the idea
has spread that only these cuts are

Red Cloud walks Into the Agency and
VIII Confer with General Miles.
A special from Pine Ridge Agency, S.
D., dated the 9th inst, says: Lastnight
Zen. Brooke sent out q detachment un-
der Lieut.. Getty to recover the remains
pf Lieut.. Casey. The body was found
stripped but not mutilated. ltwas borne
to Oelrichs whence Il will be sent to Fort
Keough, Mont. Red Cloud came into
the Agency this morning, and Gen. Miles
has appointed an hour to hold confer
ence with him. The old man stepped
out OF the hostile camp last night and
with his wife walked sixteen miles to this
place. Gen. Miles is hopeful that his
example will be followed by others.
y Gen. Miles view of the situation is
about as follows: There are three or
four in the hostile camp who are very
wicked, and are doing all they can in
every way known to influence the In
dians not only to remain out, but to fight
the matter to the bitter end. On this
point they may be mistaken. Gen. Miles
hopes that the better element will pre-
vail to some extent to destroy these
wicked Brules. On this account he is
exercising patience. So long as there is
q chance Of destroying each other, he
feels he can afford to wait. Gen. Brooke
who is in his camp on White Clay Creek,
writes Gen. Miles that he is notified by
the 0gallalas that it was determined by
council to-day that many Of the
principal chiefs now on that creek
will visit Gen. Miles tomorrow.
1t was expected that Gen. Miles
would hold conference to-day with Red
Cloud, but the expectation was not real
ized. Gen. Miles had decided that he
would hold no more talks with the aged
chief, as he had given him his ultimatum
several days ago to abandon the hostiles
or suffer the consequences. The arrival
Of the old man is considered an evidence
of his good faith, as is also the effort he
made to save Lieut.. Casey's life by warn
ing him of his danger. Red Cloud told
of q fight between the 0gallalas and
Brules shortly succeeding the killing OF
Casey. The former made an effort to
separate from the Brules and return to
the agency. The latter OBJ
sected, firing at them a number
of shots, all of which, however, passed
over their heads. No ono was injured.
This morning about 900 Ogallalas suc-
ceeded in forsaking the Brules, in the
light fall of snow, and came into the
agency. Young-man-afraid-o d-of-his-horses,
with several members of his band re-
turned to-day from their friendly visit
to the Crows, and they were granted an
audience by Mr.. Miles.

GET YOUR HEAD SOAKED.
The New Boston Barber'. Fad That l. Com
ing Into Vogue Everywhere.

The New Boston Barber's Fad That l. COM
ing Into Vogue Everywhzre
A conviviaI Hubbite stepped into
Young's hotel in Boston one morning
and conhded to the tonsorial artist that
his head was swollen from the effects Of
the previous nights debauch and asked
him If he could not, metaphorically
speaking, soak his head for him with 0
wet towel.
The barber immersed the towel in
almost boiling hot water and placed Il
across his customers brow.
How does it feel?" he asked, as the
steam began TO rise.
~First-class; give us some more,' re-
piled the man under the towel, and the
barber continued the soaking process
for fully half an hour, till at last, when
he took the towel of, the face of his
customer presented the appearance of q
boiled lobster, and the owner of the
swelled head declared that he had
never felt better in his life-that all the
dizziness and the swelling had departed
and left his Uranium clear as bell.
After that, whenever he had been on a
racket, he came in on the following
morning to have his head bathed, says
the New York World. He told his
friends about it, and they came also,
and others, seeing its soothing effects,
became regular applicants for the lay
ing on of the hot-water towel.
Then meu who had not been and who
never would go on tears, hearing how
delicious the sensation of the hot water
towel was, tried it, liked it. and there,
after asked for it.
Thus the fad became established in
Boston and spread from shop to shop,
and now it is regular custom in oil
the big hotels to apply hot water
towel after the shave, and now it is be-
ing established in New York.
Two prominent tonsorial parlors on
Broadway have already adopted it and
other shops are gradually following
suit.
The time is at hand when the hot
towel custom will be universal, for the
simple reason that it is delightful and
most refreshing process. Not many
New York BARRIERS vet understand how
to administer the hot towel Ia Boston.
To be done properly not one towel
alone, nor two, should be applied, but
at least half dozen, completely cover,
ing the face with the steaming
cloth, and replacing each towel as it be-
comes cool with other fresh from the
hot water faucet. A dreamy languor
creeps over the senses. On the hottest
day in summer, as we'll as the coldest
in winter, one goes forth feeling much
better for his steaming. The philoso-
ply of the Boston shave is this: The not
towel draws the blood away from the
brain to the face, making in summer
the skin much warmer than the air,
which, when the towel is withdrawn,
strikes the skin cool and refreshing.
In winter the blood heated by the
towel offers the same resistance to the
cold as if it were heated by exercise and
the unpleasant chapping of the skin
which sometimes follows the old
fashioned shave is obviated. The steam
also removes the oil which exudes
from the skin and leaves the complex
ion clear and fresh; therefore man
feels better, thinks better, talks better,
kna works better after the Boston
shave

Shelbyville, Ind special: Two robbers
made bold attempt to rob Charles
Shafer, wealthy farmer living five
miles south of this city, and in trying to
make the old man and his wife tell where
their money was beat them nigh to death.
Giving up the scheme they started to
run, when the old man recovered his
senses and started after them. They
ordered him to stop and opened fire upon
him, but failed to hit him. Neighbors
heard the firing and came quickly to the
scene, where they found the old people
in critical condition. Leaving
some to take care of them, a
large mob started in pursuit
of the villains, who were coming afoot
toward the city. A telephone message
was sent to the officers here, and Marshal
Mann and Constable johnson started
south in a buggy to meet them.
When they got mile from town they
met two men walking, who, discovering
that they were officers, jumped over the
fence and started on the run. Marshal
Mann called to them to stop, but they
paid no attention. Mann then drew his
revolver and fired. The robbers returned
the fire. Johnson, after hiUching the
horse, rushed to the scene and opened
fire. Twelve shots were exchanged
in quick succession, but the bandits were
fast getting away. The officers came to
town and gave the alarm. The mob
from the scene of the attempted robbery
came also. A hundred men armed with
guns and pistols started on their trail,
which is plain in the snow which fell at
dusk.
Charles Walton was arrested at the
house of his cousin, five miles east of
here, and brought to the city where he
was identified as one of the robbers and
lodged in Jail. Walton was in bed when
found, his clothes were wet to the waist,
caused by wading Blue River, and his re-
volver was in his overcoat with one
chamber empty. The other robber was
trailed to the city, but has not been ap-
pretended. Walton refuses to talk.

near the sayages. He was shot through
the head. Gen. Brooke, who sent the in

represent all the reservations in Dakota.
There are many Cheyennes among them,
