For Country's Sake.
AN INDIAN FIGHTER SUFFERS AGONlEs
FROM DISEASE.
He Was in the Baltic With the Apachss
When Geronimo Was Captured.

From the Press. New York City.
Worn with the 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 do any work.
He had served five years with the
Ninth United States Infantry in many
desperate fight with the Indians in
Arizona and other frontier states and
had won an enyiable record. In the
fierce conflict when Geronimo, the
famous chief Of the Apaches. was cap
tured, Mr.. Fleugauf was among tho
brave soldiers who, forgetful Of every
thing but duty, charged upon the hos
tile Indians.
Life on the plains sent to an untimely
death many soldiers who were never
touched by redskins bullet or arrow,
and Mr.. Flegauf came near such fate
as that. A long time before his time
was out he was taken seriously Ill. but
he stuck to his post until an honorable
discharge was finally given to him.
When he reached Philadelphia, the
Indian fighter was scarcely moro than
skin and bones, and for three weeks he
lay desperately i'll In hospital He felt
dizzy, and his stomach felt as II 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 was
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. about year ago. Mr..
Flegauf has been so Ill 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 q last
hope, he began taking them
1.-THE beneficial effect OF the medicine
was felt at once" Mr.. Flegauf told the
reporter, land before had taken 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 1t
since, for five months
DR.. williams Pink Pills contain all
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 had by mail
from Dr. Williams Medicine Company,
Schenectady, N. Y. for SOC per box. or
six boxes for $3.50.

GREENWAY,s PLAN.
Says Manitoba Is Able to Settle Hci
School Troubles Unaided.

WINNIPEG, Manitoba, February Pa
1t transpires that Sir Donald Smith,
who came here as special plenipoten-
tiary of the dominion government in
connection with the school question,
has taken back message from Premier
Greenway which may settle the
troublesome school question. Premier
Greenway declares if the dominion
authorities attempt coercion he will
resist at any cost, but that if they
withdraw their coercion bill and allow
Manitoba to settle the question without
interference he will make such con-
cessions to Roman Catholics as are
reasonable and that they cannot fail to
accept. Sir Donald will advise the
dominion government to drop it's
proposed remedial bill, which will
likely be done. The dominion govern
ment will then bring on the general
elections on other issues.

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 bu. per acre in 1898. and
there are thousands Of farmers who be-
lieve they can grow $50 bu. per acre
therefrom in 1896.
Then there is Silver Mine Oats. YIELD
ing in 1895 209 Blu. 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 bu. is surely possible.

Hest, which was fit for table In % days
in 1895. yielding tremendously, while
the Champion Of the World, tested in a
