IMPORTANT NOTICE.

When we decided to open an office
in DEBORAH six months ago, it was i'm
the nature of an experiment as we
were by no means certain that town
the size of DEBORAH could support an
Institute of such magnitude as ours.
However we are greatly pleased at the
reception and confidence that has been
placed in us. Our business has in
creased so rapidly that at a meeting of
the Downing Physicians held in Decor
ah last Monday reorganization was
decided upon and hereafter our asso-
citation will be known as 1.-THE Decor
an fledicai and Surgical Institute"
and will be permanently located i'm De-
cOrah. We assure our friends and the
public that no pains wiiibe spared to
sustain she enviable reputation our
success i'm curing the sick
Of this community has made for us.

New YoRK, Nov. IA dispatch to
the World from Madrid Gays:
The government will not dissolve par
lament. nor fix date for the election
and the meeting of the new cortes until
Premier Sagasta can definitely form an
opinion as to the attitude of the Amer
lean congress toward Spain, and until
President McKinley's message and the
I icontemp plated note on the question of
flibustering expeditions enable him to
see the drift of McKinley's policy. The
government and leaders of the opposi.
tion deem it to be unadvisable to riek
being without parliament in case com
plications should arise in its relations
with the United States. Should the at
atItude of the American congress and
president be reassuring, Premier Sagas-
ia will dissolve the cortes in December,
and appoint the elections Tor February,
thus bringing the next meeting of the
cortes early in March.
With view to getting snpport easier
from the house in which, like all past
Spanish governments, he is likely to
get double majorities, he is anxious to
have the election take place at the same
time in Spain and the West Indies, even
if the state of Cuba in February obiiges
him to adopt exceptional measures to
carry out at the polls the policy that
General Blanco and Senior Morrel are
already concerting.
1t is said that the Spanish govern
ment will provide the state department
at Washington with the text of the CO.
lonial reforms and full details of their
working with all that is required to give
President Mckinley an insight into that
new policy before drafting his mes
sage.

WICHITA, Kas., Nov. 17.-George NJ.
Hughes, of Anadarko, 1. T., has arrived
in Wichita on trip to secure 10000 col

to settle in and about the Wichita noun
tains before the first of January, and by
sheer persistency and force of numbers
compel congress to open the country to
settlement.
Hughes is one of twenty men who are
now making a systematic canvass of
Oklahoma, Kansas and Arkansas for
boomers to settle in the new country.
The plan is to inaugurate promiscious
immigration into the Indian country at
once and begin to hunt for gold, de-
manding OF congress. at the same time,

Mill Shave or Action.

New York, Nov. IA special to the
Herald from Washington says:
1t Is said to be the present intention
of President Mckinley to incorporate
the recent Spanish correspondence in
his annual message to congress. He
does not deem it compatible with the
public service to publish the full text OF
the notes, pending further correspond
ence and the carrying out of the prom
ises made by the Spanish government.
The papers Will be accessible to the
members of the committee on foreign af-
fairs for their guidance in dealing with
various resolutions which will come be-
fore them.
It is reported that Spain asked to have
the correspondence withheld for the
present for political reasons. The new
ministry fears that the conciliatory at.
tltude toward the United States, as
shown by the notes, may cause embar-
rassment at home, and thereby make it
impossible to carry out the proposed re.
forms. On the other hand there is the
fear that jinRo members of congress who
have been expecting SO much at the
hands of Mr.. Mckinley may not be sat-
isfied with all that Spain has promised
and that another outbreak in congress
will tend to aggravate the situation in
Spain.
The presidents chief desire now is to
