grand army has always been to have
regard to the various localities, and,
following this practice. the office would

For COuntry's Sake.
AN INDIAN FIGHTER SUFFERS AGONIEs
FROM DISEASE.
He Was in tho Battle with the Apache,
When Was Captured.

From the Press, New York City.
Worn with h exposure of army life
on the frontier, and poisoned by the
continual drinking of alkali water,
Joseph Flegauf returned to Philadel-
phia eight years ago, broken down In
health and unable to dc. any work.
He had. served five years with the
Ninth United States Infantry in many
a desperate fight with the Indians in
Arizona and other frontier states and
had won an enviable record. In the
fierce conflict when Geronimo, the
famous chief Of the Apaches, was cap
tured, Mr.. Fleugauf was among the
brave soldiers who, forgetful Of every.
thing but duty, charged upon the hos
tile Indians.
Life on the plains Sent to an untimeIy
death many soldiers who We're never
touched by a redskins bullet or arrow.
and Mr.. Flegauf came near such a fate
as that. A long time before his time
was out he was taken seriously i'll, but
he stuck to his post until an honorable
discharge was finally given to him.
When he reached Philadelphia, the
indian figEte" was scarcely more than
skin and bones, and for three weeks he
lay desperately i'll in a hospital. He felt
dizzy, and his stomach felt as if it had
dried up. These symptoms were accom-
panied by bloody dysentery, which no
medicine seemed to relieve.
After two years of suffering, Mr..
Flegauf came to New York and vas
treated by several physicians. These
did not agree, some calling his disease
catarrh of the stomach. and others
chronic diarrhoea.
In speaking to a reporter about his
illness Mr.. Flegauf said the doctors
helped him, but, with all the money he
spent for advice and medicine, he was
able to work only a small part of the
time. Since moving to his present
home, No. SIT West Forty-second street,
in New York, bou a year ago, Mr..
Flegauf has been so i'll that his voice
and hearing almost left him.
Then all medicines failed, and the
sick man had little hope of recovery
At this critical time DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People were recommended
to Mr.. Flegauf, and, almost as a last
hope, he began taking them.
"The beneficial effect Of the medicine
was felt at once" Mr.. Flegauf told the
reporter, a n before I had taken a box
I began to eat with relish. Three boxes
made me so much better that I began
work and have been able to keep at il
since, for five months
DR.. Williams Pink Pills contain al,
the elements necessary to give new life
and richness to the blood and restore
shattered nerves. They are for sale by
by all druggists, or may be l.hi by mail

Senator Gear interrupted to tell Mr..
Carter that his silver associates;
Messrs. Jones of Nevada and Teller oil
Colorado. had written the financial
plank OF the Minneapolis convention.
Mr.. Carter retorted that when they
wrote it they did not think the Eng
fish language would be turned into
misrepresentation.
Mr.. Gear asked: "Was it not the
plank on which you tried to carry Col
orado for the Republican party?.
Yes, said Mr.. Carter. because I
believed the Republican party would
live up to it's promises"
Mr.. Carter added that it was not
supposed that the platform would be
construed to mean that the last vestige
OF silver legislation should be wiped
off the statute books.
Mr.. Teller said that the first lines.ot
b Republican platform were written
by him. He did not write the restric-
lions, and was afraid that it would be
used for evasion by slkillful politicians
rs they had done ever since.

j: shier Frank Dorsey Killed at Wichita
Falls, Texas.
WICHITA FALLS, Tex, Feb. 37.-Two
robbers entered the City National
bank, of this city. at 2:45 3. M, and
demanded the money Of Cashier Dor
sey, who resisted them. Shooting be-
gan, resulting in the death of Cashier
Frank Dorsey and the w%ounding OF
Bookkeeper P. P. Langford. Lang
ford's wounds are not serious, being
light flesh wounds.
The robbers secured only a few
hundred dollars IN silver. They then
mounted their horses and made a run
for their lives.
BY this time many of the citizens
had armed themselves and q small
battle took place. One of the rob
bers' horses was shot from under him
and it is believed the robber was
wounded. He mounted behind his
partner and, about one mile from
town met a farmer in a buggy. They
took his horses and made a break for
the hills.
In the meantime, citizens had Sc
cured horses and started in pursuit of
the robbers. Captain Mcdonald and
his rangers came in on the 4 o'clock
trail. and took the tail at once. Late
last night word was received that the
robbers are corralled in a large thicket
in the middle of a pasture nine miles
from town. The thicket is surrounded
by twenty-five or thirty determined
men, who are fully armed, and escape
is almost impossible. They have sent
in for twenty-five additional men, who
have just started. Foster Crawford,
n CT the robbers, who killed Cashier
Dorsey, is said to be a noted desper-
ado. 1t IS also reported hat one of
the famous Christian gang was the
other man.
1t is believed a hanging bee will
take place when the robbers are
caught. A reward of 81, 900 is offered
by the Panhandle and City National
banks for their capture, dead or alive

POPULISTs OFFER TERMS
Conditions on Which They Will Vote fer
Tariff REFORM.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-Mr. Quay re-
ported the army appropriation bill in
the Senate to-day and gave notice that
he would call it up tomorrow.
Mr.. Allen of Nebraska returned to
the tariff question by referring to the
statements of Mr.. Morrill,, MI. Shel-
man and Mr.. Platt during the exciting
debate yesterday. Mr.. Allen SAID he
had believed that it was the honest
purpose of the Republican party to
enact a law placing gold and silver on
equal terms. But the debate of yes
terday developed that the Republican
leaders, under no circumstances, would
accept a tree coinage measure. Under
the circumstances, he would submit a
distinct proposition to the chairman
OF the finance committee, namely that
lie (Allen) would assure sufficient Pop
ullst votes to give a majority of the
Senate, il the passage of the tariff bill
was accompanied by the adoption of a
Tree silver amendment.
Mr.. Morrill, remained in his seat
without responding, but Mr.. Hoar of
Massachusetts, made the point that the
discussion was out OF order.
Unanimous consent was given, how
ever, to Mr.. Allen to proceed. He
criticised the financial record of Mr..
sherman. The Republican party
could not escape, said Mr.. Allen, from
the attitude of declining to emone
tlze silver. 1.-The Ponulist senators
are ready to swallow your ~nauseating
and unjust tariff measure" said MIR.
Allen, IF you will place silver on
anna n,.n @ ,ptf1 J., ~~1l. l.& I
not do it,"
Mr.. Allen then turned his attention
to Mr.. Mckinley and had read from
the desk a speech said to have been
delivered by the Ex-Governor OF Ohio.
Mr.. Allen referred to Mr.. McKinleya as
the chief apostle of protection. and
the speech purported to give Mr.. Nc
kinley's severe criticism of the de-
monetization of silver. In conclusion
Mr.. Allen held up a bill. exclaiming:
Nov, to test your integrity and good
faith, | offer this bill. 1t is your
tariff bill, without a ~ uncrossed or
an y indebted, except in the title.
And l say to you that if you are ready
to show the good faith Of your asser-
tons for silver and link It with the
tariff bill, we pledge you six Populist
votes"
Mr.. Aliens bill was read, it being
the tariff bill and a free silver bill
combined.
Mr.. Baker of Kansas asked if Mr..
Allen would agree to deliver the six
kansas votes for a tariff bill with an
amendment restricting the silver pro-
duct to American mines.
Il have not consulted my colleagues
on that" responded Mr.. Allen. And
l do not undertake to direct the Popu.
list vote beyond this specific PROPOSE
ton. Personally | would not agree
to it."
There was some discussion as to the
merits of Mr.. Bakers suggestion.
The Allen compromise bill went to
the table temporarily.
Mr.. Lindsay Of Kentucky offered an
amendment to the tariff resolution of
Mr.. Carter, directing the finance com
mittee to report back a repeal of the
one-eighth differential on sugar.

GROW RICH, EVERY FARMER.

The editor thinks it to be the wish Of
everybody to grow rich, not for the sake
OF the money, but for the good that can
be done with the money. Now, there
are three new cereals recently created
that will make money for the farmer.
One is Silver King Barley, the most
wonderful creation of the age, yielding
80, 100 to 116 blu. per acre in 1896, and
there are thousands of farmers who be-
lieve they can grow $50 Blu. per acre
therefrom in 1896.
Then there is Silver Mine Oats, yield
ing in 1895 200 bu. per acre. Every
farmer who tested it, believes $50 bu.
possible.
Then there is Golden Triumph Corn,
which produced over 200 bu. per acre,
and ESQ blu. is surely possible.
And potatoes, there is Salzer's Ear
Hest, which was fit for table in % days
in 1895, yielding tremendously, while
the Champion Of the World, tested in a
thousand different places in 1895, yield
ed from 8 to 1000 bu. per acre
Now, in Salzer's new catalogue there
is a wonderful arrayal of new varieties
of wheat, oats, barley, rye, potatoes,
grasses, clovers and forage plants. and
the editor believes that it would pay
every farmer a th~ousand-fold to get this
catalogue before buying seeds.
