We find around us everywhere men who
are young in years, but who in body are
actually old and decrepit. This premature
old age is becoming more common every
year. Thousands are continually dying who
are scarcely 80 years of age, from a complete
worn out state of their systems, just as
literally of old age as though they had lived
to be 100, and the cause Of this is due to a
general demoralized condition of the great
vital organs of the body - the stomach, the
liver, the kidneys and the blood; let any of
these become impaired and the blood instead
of flowing through the body and carrying
nourishment to all its parts, becomes filled
with poisonous secretions which generate and
multiply continually, ceasing to build up
new flesh tissue, SO that gradual wasting
and decay takes place until the day comes
when 3 complete collapse is experienced and
speedy death ensues.
The Indian is noted for his longevity, due
to the fact that he takes no medicine that
contains poisonous ingredients, but depends
upon his famous Kickapoo Indian Sagwa

from roots, banks, gums and herbs of tho

HARD LINES.
John w. Wilson's Leg Crushed as He Was
Getting Off the Shifter in the b. and M.
Yard.

An unfortunate accident happened last
evening in the Boston and Maine yard at
the foot of Brackett street 1t was about
quarter of six O'Clock, and John W..
Wilson, fireman on the shifter, was just
about to leave work. He attempted to
step off the engine while it was in
motion. AS he stepped down he struck
switch 1od, and was thrown Under the
wheels. They passed over his right leg
below the knee, cutting 1t off, also over
the left foot, cutting off the toes. He was
also hurt somewhat in the head.
Mr.. Leslie Hood and others, who were
there, rushed to Wilson's aid. and laying
down their coats laid him on them,
twisting improvised tonquinets to stop
the flow of blood, and making him as
comfortable as possible until the arrival
of the ambulance
Wilson was taken to the Maine General
Hospital, where he was soon under the
surgeons care.
Wilson is a young man about twenty
years of age, and lives at No. 9 Orange
street. He has wife to whom he has
been married about six months.
At late hour Mr.. Wilson was as COM
Portable as could be expected. The
surgeons had amputated the left leg and
a part of the right foot.

forest. James Reuben, the Oldest living
Senaca Indian attributes his long life 10
the use of this wonderful medicine, and
is enthusiastic in its praise. ~
This wonderful remedy rectifies all dis
orders of the great vital organs, but above
all purifes the blood and enables it to
perform its natural function, imparting life
and vigor to all parts Of the system.
Let man have perfect digestion and pure
blood, and there is a continual restoration OF
waste tissue taking place in the body. With
out this there is decline. If you feel that
you have not your ordinary strength, you
do not sleep as you should, your appetite is
fitful, you are nervous, have dizzy spells and
seem generally rundown, you should not
hesitate minute, for this is the beginning of
some serious decline. While you still have
strength and life take Kickapoo Indian
Sagwa. A change. for the better will be
experienced with the first bottle, and a
speedy return to health will be the result in
every instance. Follow the Indians example,
and share with him long life and health.

Captain Bunker Reports a Wreck.


Captain George W. Bunker, of the
schooner Alicia B. Crosby, writes from
Portsmouth, under the date of November
g. as follows:
On Monday, 4th instant, while at
anchor at "Great Round Shoal Light
Ship Nantucket, on the western side,
it being calm, large amount Of floating
timber drifted by from direction of the
outer shoals, notioeably large "bolster"
long beam with knees attached, painted
white and green. A little to the south
ward was what appeared as the side Of a
stable vessel, showing many top timbers
painted white with two long beams at an
angle of forty five degrees, to which (the
end of one) was large knee, evidently
the side portion of a hull deep in the
water. AS the wreokage dragged the
shallow ground from it's slow driftage
comparable to other material.
By the size and rather fresh appearance
of the timber, l judge it to have been
from vessel of seven hundred to a
thousand tons, and not very old, a victim
to the heavy easterly storm of two days
previous

With this issue we Oegin giving two
papers for the price of one. Some weeks
ago we received a letter from j A.
Wayland, of the Coming Nation, say
ing, that if we would give his paper as
a premium he would furnish it to us
at 25 cents per year.
After due deliberation we have de-
cided to do this. Two reasons prompt
us, 1st, that IS cents will do us more
good now than Sl.OO will in a years
time. End, we must win in '96. If the
people want to retain their homes, if
they want to enjoy the society of their
neighbors there must be a change in
the policy of the government IN very
short time; two years more of depress-
ion and general depreciation Of pro-
perty will close the public schools.
What then is the duty Of Reno county
populists? The answer is PLAN. Edu-
cate your neighbors. You who have
stood the test of five years of villifica
tion and abuse are not in need of the
Coming Nation. Pay your subscrip-
tion to the GAZETTE and have the
Coming Nation sent to your tenant
farmer, neighbors and to the farm
help. Get them to read 1t. Do not
waste money on men who have never
felt the oppressive hand of the land
lord or the lOanlord. The Zeno
Tharp's are not worth the saving. Let
us go after the oppressed of earth for
such as these the Son Of God came and
taught the doctrine of equal rights.
Let us follow His example and do
what we can to make His kingdom on
earth a reality instead of a mere senti-
mental moonshine.
The Coming Nation will teach the
way to bring this about. 1t is your
duty to see that your neighbors haYe a
chance to learn. Will you do it?

Prove an Alibl.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 2i-Cnief of
Police Crowley confessed last night at
the close of the second day of the pre-
liminary examination of w. II. T. Dur
rant, the young medical student and
assistant superintendent of the Eman-
uel Baptist church, that the evidence
so far presented to connect Durrant
with the murder in the church of Miss
Minnie Williams, April IL, was decided
disappointing. It's beginning to be the
general fear, in view of the weakening
of witnesses for the state under the fire
of cross-examination, which could
not be expected to be as strong
now as on regular trial, that
the church murders may yet go
down into history as unsolved
mysteries of the San Francisco criminal
annals. Certain it is that the police
have been totally unable to add to
their circumstanciat evidence in the
past three days. They have some TWEEN
ty-fve witnesses yet 10 he examined,
but the public is beginning to believe
that these also may not be able to go
through the cross-examinations un-
scathed.
Certain it is that Durrant has not
lost his assurance or nerve His de-
meanor is such that the conclusion
forces itself upon the observers that he
is either most consummate monster
or most cruelty wronged man.
Searchers have found blood stains in
the church, showing that the murderer
made his way in the dark from the
library closet, where lay the mutilated
body of Miss Williams, to the wash
room back of the pulpit in the rear of
the church. The prints of bloody fin
gers were seen at intervals. The eX-
tent of the blood stains in the wash
room goes to prove that the murderer
had no light while washing his hands,
for judicious person would not have
spattered so much blood around if he
could have seen what he was doing
And it is evident if he had had light
he would not have left the bloody
stains on the wall. This tends to prove
that the murderer was familiar with
every part of the church building.
Durrant is making strenuous efforts
to prove an alibi in the Lamont case
by attempting to show that ON the day
Miss Lamont disappeared he was not
her escort from school at $3.50 o'clock
in the afternoon. Three young women
have identified him as the young man
they saw on a car with Miss Lamont
at that hour, Durrant will call on his
college classmates to prove that he
was at a lecture at that hour. 1t is
said that his note book contains no
notes of the lecture and that he OBJ
tanned information of the subject mat
ter of the lecture from another student.
This matter is a question of impor-
lance to Durrant, and he bases his
hopes on the memory of his fellow
students. He was marked present at
this lecture but, as it had been habit
of students to answer for each other,
the roll book does not count.
