The above letter translates as follows:
"The indians offer to their sc1ste brothers
foaoers, leares roots and barss, made oy inc
sun, the stars, and the rain ('adtafe) " ths
,olite brother is sick this aciU make him stronger
than the bear uho scil fall before him."
Z. aSAcwA, is a medicine word meaning
good or best, and signifies "best medic1ne.
Here are the sincere statements OF no.
BILE son of grand race.
Every word is true. il.
Catliis, the highest authority on the In
dams 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 q letter from far d1nerenb source.
Tho following is from the Professor OF
Physiological Chemistry at Yale College,
and this scientist says -
.sAtser a chemical analysts Of Indian Sag,ra.
I find ii to be an ErtrGct Of Roots, B0rEs
and Herbs Of Valuable Remedial action
scith no Mineral or other Deleterious Adnsir-
tures." - r.
Heed the teachings of these letters.
Take Natures Remedy in season. II your
blood is impure and your skin IS marked
by pimples, blotches and boils; II you
have duh pains in your back and side; II
your appetite Is poor; If you DO not get
your health and strength, you are in Dan
ger. These, and other symptoms are the
warnings Of nature.
Arouse yourself, and drive off the enemy
Arm yourself with Kickapoo Indian Sag
wa-build up your system by its use ana
all danger is averted.
Kickapoo Indian Sagwa and other KICK
apoo Indian medicines contain only the
products of the field and forest, natures
own vegetable growth of roots, barks and
herbs, and of necessity are free from all
mineral poisons whatever, because the
Indians have no knowledge of them, de-
pending wholly upon natures laboratory

April 80. ton Gas Profits
The above table shows that s1s1, 25s

The above table shows that $1S1, 25S
has been earned from the legitimate
business of gas making in excess of
what has been distributed in dividends
during the past Is years. The tax on
all stock is paid by the company, so that
the stock has during this time been a IL
per cent stock for all private holders. 1t
will be remembered that large special
dividends aggregating $53 per share have
been paid by the company during the
past few years. The city received in the
municipal years 18S2-S3 a special divi-
dend of so per cent; in the municipal
years 1SS3-S4, a special dividend of 40
per cent; and the municipal years 1884
IS special dividend of 16 per cent. The
excess of earnings from gas making is
not large enough to account for these
special dividends. The additional funds
required to meet them were obtained
from the addition, made during these
years to the surplus or investment fund.
The Investment fund in 1874 was about
100000 and the income received from
interest and premiums on the invest
ments made by the company with the
proceeds of certain sales of real estate
made during the same period were up
ward of $170,0 900, remarkable showing
from judiciOus Investments. With the
lower rate of interest on reliable securi-
ties the legitimate business of gas maxi
ing must be the future source of divi-
dends.
A reduction of 10 per cent in the price
of gas goes into effect July /, 1888. The
officers of the company say that the new
price at the present rate Of consumption
will continue to yield the present divi-
dend
The company has the exclusive right
to supply gas in this city until the year
1921. 1t has to contend with the compe-
tition of electricity. but in the opinion
Of the officers of the company, the cleo
trio light will not at present supersede
gas.
In concluding the committee say that
the officers of the company extended ev-
cry facility and made many valuable sug-
gestions.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
Gorman's Minstrels.

Germans Minstrels packed portland
Theatre last night, notwithstanding the
rain. The audience applauded vocifer-
ously. 1t was by no means as good
show as German has been in the habit of
giving, but there were several features
worthy of praise.
Patti nee.
Tomorrow evening, Gilbert & Sulll-
vans charming opera of Patience Will
I be produced under the superintendent
of Mr.. Gilbert, at City Hall. by as tine a
body of singers as can be collected IN
Maine. Mr.. VIII Stockbridge will direct
the music. The scenery, stage effects
and costumes will be of the finest. Grim
mer's orchestra will be large size and fur
nish grand music. There are still excel
lent seats, not hard settee seats, but com
Portable opera chairs, for sale at STOCK
BRIDGES.
There are at present two burglars at
large in this country and unmolested by
the police. They have carried on sys-
tematic series of safe robberies, which
have extended to every important city in
the Union. Some Of these burglaries
have been committed in broad daylight,
but most of them at the usual hour in
the night They have spoiled more safes
in this country than any fifty other bur
glars who ever lived. They have both
done time. but within the last two or
three years have pursued their calling
without any apparent effort OF the au-
thorities to bring them to justice. 1t is
understood that these two eminent ex-
moments of the cracksman's art will di-
vulge their propensity for getting into a
safe without the usual formality of keys
at the Portland Theatre, Friday, Satur-
day and Saturday matinee.
skipped by the Light of the Moon
Fowler & Warmington's comedians are
to appear at Portland Theatre on next
Monday evening, in that most laughable
of plays, Skipped by the Light of the
Moon and those of our readers who
know good thing will not miss the OPP
portunity of seeing this funniest of all
the farce-comedies. Skipped" was Gre
ated for the amusement of the public,
and it serves it's purpose admirably. The
piece is unique in its comicality, and
thoroughly enjoyable, and acted as it is,
by cote1ie of artists of more than usual
ability, makes skipped by the Light of
the Noon one of the most satisfactory
performances now before the American
public. 4

THE FIRST THUNDER SHOWER.
A Bolt Sets Fire to the Cellar of Frye's
Drug Store.

There was the first thunder shower Of
the season about 7.40 p. m. yesterday.
There were several sharp flashes of light
ming, accompanied by thunder, and the
rain fell heavily. One bolt passed into
the cellar of Frye's drug store over the
incandescent light wire. AS it entered,
a tremendous clap of thunder followed
and half the electric lights in the store
above were extinguished. At the same
time smoke began to pour into the store
through the cracks in the flooring.
Mr.. viii Smith, one of the clerks,
sprang to thel cellar door, and as he
threw it open, was almost smothered by
the smoke. He dashed down the cellar
stairs at the risk of suffocation, rushed
to the hose kept there for just such emer-
gencies, turned on stream and played
it on the cellar beams which were all
a light blaze. When the department ar
rived. and the engines were very prompt,
the fire was out, with no damage to
speak Of. If it hadn't been for Mr..
Smiths presenceof mind and courage
Mr.. Frye might have suffered a heavy
loss.
The lightning seemed to have an es-
special spite against drug stores, travel
ling into Hollands store at the junction
of Congress and Grove streets, over a
GAS pipe. and setting fire to the gas. Ihe
GAS was turned off before any damage
was done.

INDIANAPOLIS, August 2S.--There has
been a marked change in the Industrial
situation in the manufacturing suburbs
Of tbs city within the past week. Altogeth-
er much better feeling prevails. Several
of the largest establishments have in
creased their working force. and many Of
them have received orders which indi-
cate a more healthy feeling among the
buyers. and an increasing confidence for
the future. The car works which dis
charged a number Of its men when the
financial panic first appeared, is running
with nearly a full force, and the cerealne
works have resumedp with their fun COM
plement Of men. Other Industries are pre-
pairing TO resume on the first of the month,
and though the utmost care is exercised
in accepting orders, it isbelieved that bust
ness will justify a general resumption
between the first and middle of the com
ing month.
