The Kickapoo Indian Sagwa.

Rene SEES

Dr. Long. the cele brated Indian Doc
tor, with his company Of Indians and
artists has been in the city week and
a half and has met with unprecedented
success in introducing the X Iapoo
Indian remedies. Every night the OPP
era house is crowded and simply be-
cause nothing Objectionable is ever said
or done by any member of the comp
any. The remedies the Doctor is intro
ducing are well known to the trade
They have attained equal success and
favor with all other standard remedies
sofa in the states. You will find them
on the shelves of every drugstore in the
country.
The Indian in his primitive state
made necessity the mother of invention.
He has ever been subjected to the rava-
ges of disease and in his necessity for
a curative power, diligently searched for
it among natures own remedies; and
was as untiring in his researches. as be
was successful. Having no knowl-
edge of stimulants. he used none in
preparing his medicines. This, we are
led to believe, accounts lor his lougevi-
tY, ruggedness and general state of
healthfulness, even though subjected to
the caprices of the elements, and hay
ing no other shelter than rudely con-
structed wigwam.
The Kickapoo Indian Sagwa is to-day
the only medicine used by the people
whose name it bears. They have, how
ever, been induced 10 extend this bless
ing to their white brethren, and are
making it in large quantitits so active
has become the demand 1t has no
superior, and ranks as the best proprie-
tory-commonly called patent-medi-
cine sold, having no rival for the cure
of the ailments it is claimed to cure.
DR.. Long is not hero to convince a
well man that he is sick, nor is the sale
of Sagwa his paramount object: but he
is here to advertise in legitimate way
these medicines that hey may become
more generally known aud more extern
sivelY used All shonld attend their
entertainments which are up to the ay-
erage.

BABCOCK GUILTLEss.
Chicago Paper Admits Charges
We're made for Blackmail.

! he Chicago Dispatch, the newspaper
which first published the statement that
a suit was to b. begun against Congress
man J. ". Babcock. Of Necedah, A. g.
Looms and Mrs Kate ". King for
$50, 900 damages By Lillian b. Pomeroy
for false arrest and prosecution, pub
lighed in an issue retraction
which ends the matter for all time.
The headlines OF the article are as
follows: Facts Come Out Daring
Attempt to Blackmail Congressman
Babcock- Further investigation Of the
Sensational Lillian B. Pomeroy Case
for Conspiracy Shows that an Anony-
nous Letter Writer and the Plaintiff in
the Case Were Possibly the Same
individuals.
The Dispatch says: Papers were
filed in the circuit court the last day of
March by the attorney for Lillian B.
Pomeroy, who asks $4,000 damages
from Congressman j. w. Babcock, A.
e.. Loomis and Mrs. Kate w. King for
false arrests and prosecution for con-
spiracY. The story of the case as relat-
ed by the attorney for tho plaintiff has
been published in these columns. The
Dispatch now presents the other side of
the case, which, it must be confessed,
shows the whole matter in different
light.
1.-The reporter investigated the alleged
facts Sc: out in the blackmailing letters
rejecting upon the character of Con-
gresham Babcock and Mrs. X. W.
King, and found them to be wholly
baseess; that the material in the letters
was each and every line of it false, and
was written solely for the purpose Of
eXtorting money, which. under the laws
OF the state of Illinois, is a penitenliary
oilense, and to this end NJ Babcock has
consulted A. s. Trude and the authori-
ties. with the view of bringing the Of
Tenders to justice. The attorney for
Mrs Pomeroy, in his anxiety to defend
his client from anticipated criminal
prosecution, stated that the congress
man had visited Mr. Lyon Of the firm
of Lyon ~ Healy, in Mrs Kings inter-
est. This statement, like nearly every
thing that emanated from him relative
to Mrs King and the congressman. is
false; indeed, Mr.. Lyon is not connec-
ted with the firm in any capacity what
ever. and neither one of the firm ever
saw the congressman.
The Dispatch takes pleasure in say
ing that there is no question bnt what
an abortive attempt at bIackmsil was
made by person who was not even ia.
miiar with the history of the lives of
either of the persons referred To. and
that the alarming haste with which the
attorney and Mrs. Pomsroy disayowed
the authorship of the letters or any con
nection with the same may be treated
as evidence of the fact that calumny
contained in them was 50 apparent
that it would be dangerous 10 pursue
