BANNOCk INCURSIONS
Ever-Recurring Troubles Caused by Poaching
Indians in Wyoming


WASHINGTON, July 17.-Under date
of June II, 1895, Governor Richards wrote
to the secretary of the interior in regard
to the killing of game by the Shoshone
and Bannock Indians. He says the same
trouble occurs every year. The Indians
secure passes from the reservation agents
20 to distant points for various purposes
an then spend the time hunting.
The governor says the county or state
should not have the trouble and expense
Of teaching the Indians to obey the game
laws. He asked that they be strictly cor
fined to their reservations. II is un-
officially stated at the Indian office that
the real trouble in Wyoming is that the
Indians are better hunters than the
whites in the region and that the jealousy
of them is the main cause of the trouble.
The report OF the alleged uprising of the
Bannock Indians was received at the war
department today. but no action will bs
taken further than to notify the depart
ment commander to have troops at Fort
Washakie in readiness to protect the peo-
pie and propertyi case they are wanted.

THE OLD FOLKS AT HOME.
Where the Aged and IMGirM are Cared GOr-MOther AureliR Speaks
 OF Her

(From the ProUidence, R. 4, JournaG.)
 Somewhat removed from the city of Prov. idence, on the main highway to Pawtucket, stands that magnificent charitable institu. tiOn known as the Home for the Aged of the Little Sisters of the Poor. Here con- pany of sweet faced and soft voiced Sisters care fir the old and the infirm who are unable to care for themselves.
 Mother Aurelia presides over this we'll known institution, and with her associate ministers to the wants of over two hundred old people, women and men. An important feature of the Home iS . well-appointcd pharmacy in charge of one of the sisters. Their chief remedy is good old Pain-Killer, which most of the old folks used when they were children and which now cures the pains and aches incidental to their declining years.
 As is to be expected, the aged inmates of the Home are in constant need of medical attention, although, 50 carefully are they tended, few are rarely sick enough to be in the hospital wing at any one time. But all of them are subject to the many disabilities of old age, and. so Pain-Killer has come to be remedy of almost daily use.
 Mother ureliaA says that Pain-K filler has quite superseded the drugs and prescriptions for use among the old people. When the limbs twiteh with rheumatism the fair sister in charge of the pharmacy gives them 8 massage with pare Pain-Killer. When the old men and old women suffer from their many stomach troubles, little Pain: Killer with water and sugar offers . certain and quick relief Whoa the venerable heads are racked with pain, Pain- Killer is again put to service promptly. The old people love 1t and rely upon It. They tes. tify that its use externally ia quickly etiica- ci6us, and internally, is 1naceompa by any after ill effects which, at their ageD must never be risked.
