SPECIMEN OF INDIAN LETTER WRITING.

The above letter translates as follows:
"Ihe indians offer to their auhite brothers
fo,oers, 1eaces, roots and barEs, made by the
sum- the stars, and the rain (n0ture.) If the
phste brother is sick this s1iH make him stronger
than the bear icho sciH fall before him."
"SAGwA" is a medicine word meaning
good or best and signifies "best medicine"
Here are the sincere statements OF no
BILE son of grand race.
Every word is true
Catlin, the highest authority on the In
dians and who lived among them for
years, says "the word of an Indian can al
ways be relied upon and he is right.
Here is proof of the genuine value OF
Kickapoo Indian Sagwa.
Here is letter from a far different source.
The following is from the Professor OF
Physiological Chemistry at Yale College,

s'After a chemical analysis Of Indian Sagtca,

On account of the large crowd, the
League hotel was overfiowed, and a
number had to secure rooms outside.
Accommodations for meals were also some
whas difficult to obtain. After the
banquet, upon recommendation of Chief
Consul Batchelder, a testimonial in
memory of the late John H. Hannaford,
of Portland, was unanimously adopted.
1t was most graceful act, and was
warmly appreciated by his many friends

here. He rode over across country on

Sioux Falls jasper took the first prize
at the Worlds Fair. The Argus-Leader
says that a two inch cube was taken and
is strength tested by applying to the
top surface the two-inch surface of a
hydraulic press, and gradually increas.
ing the pressure until the stone broke.
In this case the pressure was raised to
12S,O00 pounds or sixty four tons. This
amounts to sixteen tons to the inch of
crushing strength, or $4,000 pounds. No
other stone tried withstood a pressure
of more than two-thirds this, and all the
GRANTEES, marbles, and trap rock in the
country were exhibited. This is the
first time that a machine has been con-
strueted strong enough to crush the
Sioux Pals stone, the government tester
at Washington having been broken some
time ago in the attempt.

CHICAGO, Nov. Civ. Lewis BOYLE
of New York, a large stakeholder and
ex-vice president of the Chicago Great
Western railroad, is at the Grand Pa
cl1c. He has been to st. Paul in consul
tatlon with the executive officers of the
road relative to the business and fnan-

the East. Owing to the business
depression, from which all the Western
roads are now suffering in a greater or
less degree, no steps, he says, will be
taken during the coming winter looking
to the extension of the Great Western.
During the latter part of 1894, however,
it is the intention to put into definite
shape the plans for building a line TO
Omaha and to begin the work of con-
struction. In the meantime the i'm
provements contemplated when the
Great Western was reorganized are in
active progress.
