The following letter from G. S. Assay, the
Indian trader and interpreter of Nashville,
Nebraska, gives positive proof of the cura-
tive, tonic, and blood purifying qualities of
Kickapoo Indian Sagwa.
RUSHvILLE, NEBRASKA, June 8.
Sometime ago after suffering severely with
stomach trouble, and dyspepsia which had
been greatly aggravated by the alkali water
or the western country, and when / had
reached that stage where l could frequently
hold nothing on my stomach, and would
even throw up water soon as drank, l
learned from Sioux Indian who had been
on visit to the kickapoo tribe of a wonder
full remedy called "Sagwa." ! got lin to
procure some for me. The effect was re-
markable. l tried to get more from the
Indian, but he would not let me have more OF
his. He priced it so much he would not give
1t up. then learned that Healy & Bigelow,
of New Haven, Conn, had an arrangement
with the kickapoo tribe, and was putting
their remedies on the market. / sent and got
bottle and found it to be the same as that
had procured from the Sioux Indian. l got
more and after the use of few bottles,
was not only relieved but entirely cured, and
haze stayed cured erer since

Bacon, which used to have a most distressing
effect, l can now eat and relish like an
Indian. i have also used the Kickapoo

it heals them right up.

remedies. | keep them all in my trading

Hasty Legislation.

During tire last afternoon and evening of tho
session of go / was called to pass upon "A bills
covering ninetenths of the important legislation
of the session, including the Australian ballot
law, the new school law and the act making ap
preparations for state expenses for the two years
then ensuing. The last named act included the
corporation tax law. Whtn considered with
reference to their bearing upon the prosperity
and welfare of the state, the school law and the
bill for the support of government were OF
greater Importance than all the other legislation
reached me between and O'Clock in the morn
Ing with the probability of an adjournment with
In 20 minutes thereafter.
The constitution imposes upon the governor
the General Assembly. Demonstration of this
kind Is not only detrimental to the best interests
OF the state, but is virtually depriving the gov.
ernor of his constitutional prerogative. He
should be allowed a reasonable tine to consider
all important bills. 1t may be stated, with
reference to the school law, that the assistance of
the Supreme court had to be invoked TO interpret
1t, while the Australian ballot law had to be sup
plemented by enactments of the special session.
l appeal to you as sensible men, sworn to the
faithful discharge of your duty, to insist upon
prompt action upon all the more important bills
OF the session. When committees, to whom bills
are referred for consideration, fail to do their
duty In promptly considering them, call upon
them In terms that they cannot misunderstood to
give an account of their stewardship BY pur-
suing any other course you VIII return home with
The responsibility resting upon your shoulders of
having passed laws so crude and SO unsatisfac-
tory as to render you justly amenabe to the
charge of unfaithfuness and of an unbusiness.
ike procrastination which, il carried into your
personal and private affairs, would mean certain
bankruptcy.
Too much legislation is to be deprecated.
Special legislation is generally unwise. Attend
10 the important work of the session with bust
nesslike promptitude and go home.
Conclusion
i cannot close my Official relations to the state
without congratulating you on the large measure

interest within our borders during the past tw

improvements In Highw vs..
There is and should be healthy public senti
ment in opposition to creating new offices of any
kind to be supported out of the public treasury
and dislike very much to urge upon you any
course conflicting with this sentiment, but | be-
lieve the time has arrived in the history of our
state when the question of improved roads
should receive measure of attention not hither-
to accorded to 1t. Some Of our sister states have
deemed the subject of highways of sufficient i'm
portance to warrant the expense of u state engi-
neer whose duty 1t is to counsel with and advise
the road commissioners of the different towns
upon this important topic. think am justified
In saying that the needless waste of the peoples
money In the department of highways Is larger
by ia than In any other branch of public ex-
pense and warrants careful inves tlgation at
your hands. Wheth you will think 1t wise to
appoint supervising engineer or simply to an.
point commission to investigate the su bject
aod report at the next session of the legislature
with reference to roads, your own good judg-
ment Will dictate. But whatever course you may
deem 1t wise to pursue, earnestly advise that
you take some decisive action at this session
looking toward an improved condition of our
roads.
tits evident that the prosperity of our state is
retarded by the lax and unsatisfactory system
which now prevails In a large majority of the
towns. Nearly all of our sister commonwealth
are moving In this matter, while it is asserted by
many that vermontis positively the retro
grade. This is not economy or wise policy. 1t is
penny wise and pound foolish for Vermont,
which Is to-day entering, as | believe, upon a
new era of prosperity, TO turn deaf ear to the
increasing demands of comfort and commerce by
negecting to provide for better sy stem of high
ways. hope you will dept broad minded
and liberal policy In dealing with this most i'm
portant subject.
Revised Roster.
By authority of an act approved November &c,
1855, there has been prepared, under the super
vision of the adjutant and Inspector general, a
revised roster of all troops furnished by Vermont
In the war of the rebellion. 1t has been an ex-
tended and laborioHs work, but 1t has corrected a
multitude of errors, and had the result been none
other than the correction of formerreports rela-
tive to deserters from Vermont regiments the
volume would be worth the entire cost. In the
valuable reports of Adj Gen. washburn, made
during the tendency of the confli {, missing
soldiers were often entered upon the roll as de

their colors, and in very few minutes
after they anchored the wharves were
covered with thousands of people anxious
to get look at them. A large number
went ont in boats, but would not be al

pairing to take on a supply of coal.

Trablc Arrangement With the Ameri-

J. ]. Footner, vice president and gen.
eral manager of the Great Northern Ex-
press Company. was in the city yesterday
looking into the affairs of the western end
of the line. His headquarters are at st.
Paul, but he will in the future come out
to Seattle frequently in the interest OF his
corporation. Today, in company with
S. S. Neff, superintendent of the Great
Northern, and George S. List, local man
ager of the express company, he will go
over the line as far as New Westminster,
with view TO arranging the business in
British Columbia in the most satisfactory
way. In an interview with reporter of
the PosT-ISTELLIGENcER yesterday Man
ager Footner said:
We have made traffic arrangement with the
American Express Company, which runs an ex-
elusive express train between New York and
Chicago, connecting at the latter point with the
fast mail. This rapid time east OF St. Paul en-
ables us to reach your city on as favorable time
as otter lines. When the Great Northern is
fully completed, as hope to see it By next year
this time, we viii be able TO improve even on
this We are doing only local business now, but
will commence handling through business on
July l. At that time our arrangement will have
given a trsnscontirental line, with officers in
New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago and
ali the important trade centers. and at the same
time will give the American Express Company
good representation On this Coast.
Our line opens up considerable business,
which am sure will be gladly taken care OF by
Seattle merchants.

CLERKS IN AN OPIUM JOINT.
Police Run Across Two White Mer
While Making q Raid.


In raiding Hong Chong's lodging-house
on Washington street, near South Fifth,
lost night Inspector Willard and Lieuten-
ant Sims caught S. W. Grant and William
Hamilton, both clerks. in the act of hit
ing tbs pipe" The two men were taken
to police headquarters, along with an
opium-smoking layout, and they were
booked upon charge of smoking opium.
They each gave bail in the sum Of S25 to
insure their appearance in the municipal
court this morning for trial. tits believed
that the clerks gave fictitious names.
Grant is 80 years of age and Hamilton
but g.
For some days the police have been on
the lookout for a man who is wanted in
San Francisco upon a serious charge.
Last evening they learned that the man
wanted is addicted to the use of opium.
The row of Chinese houses on Washing
ton street, between South Fourth and
South Fifth streets, have long been
suspected by the police to be resorts for
opium smokers, and Lieutenant Sims and
Inspector Willard concluded that their
man might be in one of these buildings.
They raided the houses, but without
success. In a rear room of the second
story OF Hong Chong's lodging-house they
stumbled across Grant and Hamilton.
Which were the most surprised, the clerks
or the officers, it would be hard to say.
The officers recovered their self-possession
first, however, placed the smokers under
arrest and seized the layout, which is val
Ued at about $50.
As the officers were leaving the premises
Chm kee, small Chinaman, made his
appearance and demanded the layout,
saying that it belonged to him and that he
had merely loaned it to his guests. He
was arrested and also taken to Jail. Chin
Kee said that he had known the clerks
for some time, that they took possession
of his room and appropriated his layout
while he was absent, and rather than Gre
ate a disturbance he allowed them to have
