PROPERTY FOR THE INDIANS.
Uncle Sam Gives wen-Disposed Red Men
Start In Life.

Uncle Sam Gives Weu-Disposeo hcd Moh
Start In Life.
The authorities at Lower Brule
agency in South Dakota q few days ago
commenced distributing among the In
dams at that agency who have taken
allotments of land in severalty vast
number of horses, colts, COWS and
calves, and sufficient agricultural i'm
plements to stock all the white farm
ers in several townships. Each head of
family receives a span Of mares, one
of them with colt; one breeding and
one mich COW, one wagon, one plow,
one harrow, one set of harness, an ak,
hoe and fork.
The stock being issued to the fortu-
nate red man is the. best that could be-
obtained in the market. a total of 800
breeding cows and 700 mich COWS, each
with a calf, have been issued to the In
dians at this agency. little later each
person, male or female, who has taken,
On allotment of land will receive a cash,
payment of $50, and as nearly every In
dian, male and female, on the lower,
Brule reservation has taken an allot-
nent of land, the cash paymentwill ag-
gregate many thousands Of dollars.
In taking allotments the Indians
were entitled to land as follows: Each
head Of family, 16o acres; each single
person over is years of age, 100 acres;
each orphan child under 1s years Of
age, 50 acres, and to each other.
person under 10 years of age,
80 acres. Where the lands were
mainly valuable for grazing purposes
an additional allotment in quantities,
US stated above, was made to euch midi
vidual. Thus it will be seen that many.
members of a single family We're en-.
titled to take allotments, and owing to
this having been done in numerous in
stances the members of many Indian
families will receive from $500 to $500.

Gladness Comes

With better understanding of the
Wv transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle s-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that SO many forms OF
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi.-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs. prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, andis
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that tits the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
all important, in order to get it's bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists
If in the enjoyment OF good health,
and the system is regular, laNatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most sllillful
physicians, but if in need of laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup OF
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.

How Japs Launch The,r Ships.

The Japanese apply one of their
pretty ways to the launching of ships.
They use no wine. They hang over
the ships PROV large pasteboard
cage full of birds, aud the moment
the ship is afoat man pulls a string
when the cage opens and the birds fly
away, making the air alive with music
and the whir of wings. The idea Is
that the birds thus welcome the ship
us she begins her career as thing Of
life.-Utica Observer.
