STATE RECEIVERS MONEY
MyErea's Decision Regarding Tim
Der from Indian Swamp
Lands is Upheld.

Washington, D. c., Aug. 6.-TSpeciaI. I
in 1850 the federal government granted
to the state of Wisconsin all the swamp
lands in the state and provided further
that N all pieces of land where more than
one-half was swamp, that it should be
deemed swamp within the meaning of
that act, and become the property of the
state Of Wisconsin. Several years later
Indian reservations were created and their
boundaries fixed by an act of Congress,
but no reference Wha tever was made to
these swamp lands. Some time after At
tOrney-General Mylrea was elected his at
tentiOn was called to this fact, and he
held that the state owned the title to
these lands and the timber and that the
United States government had no author
lty in law to authorize Indians to cut and
sell this timber and convert the proceeds
to their own use.
he commenced two suits against par
ties obtaining this timber one on the
tlambeau reservation and one on the Ike
shena reservation. The commissioner of
the interior has agreed with his construc-
tIOn OF the law, under instructions from
the attorney generals Office iit Washing
ton, and the state has been notified that
the federal government will pay the
state of Wisconsin for something over
100000 feet Of logs involved in one of
these suits, the sum of IS per 1000 feet
stumpage. In the land Office it is said
that the state ought to recover from the
federal government nearly 100000 for
trespaSses committed on these lands dur
ing the past six years.

AIDED BY MRS. PINKHA.M.

Mrs. W. E. PAXTON, youngstown,
North Dakota, writes about her strug-.
gle to regain health after the birth of
her little girl:
DEAR Mrs. PNKHAM:-It Is with
pleasure that I add my testimony to-
your list, hoping that it may induce
others to avail themselves of your val
liable medicine.
AFTER the birth of my little girl,
three years ago, my health was very
poor. I had leucorrhoa badly, and a
terrible bearing-down pain which
gradually grew worse, until could do,
no work. Also had headache nearly
all the time, and dizzy feelings. Mem
situations were very profuse, appear
ing every two weeks.
II took medicine from good doctor,
but it seemed to do no good. l was
becoming alarmed over my condition,
when read your advertisement in
paper. I sent at once for a bottle of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, and after taking two-thirds Of
the, bottle felt so much better that L
send for two more. After using three
bottles felt as strong and well as any,
one.
saT think it is the best medicine for
female weakness ever advertised, and
recommend it to every lady I meet suf--
fering from this trouble"
Maternity is a wonderful experience,
and many women approach it wholly,
unprepared. Childbirth under right.
conditions need not terrify women.
The advice of Mrs. Pinkham is freely
offered to all expectant mothers, and
her advice is beyond question the,most;
valuable to be obtained. If Mrs. Pax
ton bad written to Mrs. Pinkham be-
fore confinement she would have been
saved much suffering. Mrs. PinlhaIn'a

ON ROAD TO ARECIBO.
Second and Third Wisconsin Are
Pushing Along the North
ern Coast.

Ponce, Aug. 6 (via st. Thomas, Aug.
S).-There was no advance of the Ameri-
can Outposts on Saturday.
Capt. Lamar and Lieut.. Lenoir, with
fourteen members of the signal corps,
have returned to Ponce from an expedi-
ton to the Portuguese and Arecibo rivers
They were within ten miles of the city of
Arecbo.
Gen. Stone. with some of the men Of
the signal corps, is within eighteen miles
of Arecibo, and has established tele-
phOnic communication with his base. His
object is to determine the availability of
the Arecibo road as highway for the
movement of troops. The natives have
extended the usual cordial greetings to
him, and number Of them have offered
to enlist in the American army.
When the Spanish regulars fled from
Utuado they left behind them 800 outfits
of clothing, which Gen. Stone ordered
should be given to the poor of the town.
The expedition was short of flags, so
some of the men procured linen and paints
and painted flag, which was hoisted on
the town hall amid the acclamations of
the crowd.
Gen. Stone issued the usual Droclama-
ton promising protection 10 life and prop
erty. One hundred volunteers were cap
tured.
Gen. Stone has asked that troops be
sent TO him. a company of the Second
Wisconsin regiment reached Utuado Fri
day, and more will be dispatched there.
1t was not a Wisconsin man who was
killed at Ponce earlier in the week
Private La Due of the Second Wisconsin
shot and killed Private Stafford of the
regulars. La Due was intoxicated. The
captain of his company will be court
martialed for letting him have a gun
when he was not on duty.
As part of the preparation of the
army, it may be said that the entire army
is equipped with the ag-Jorgensen
rifles. The lesson of Santiago proved
that every shot from the old Springfield
rifles used by the volunteers exposed our
men to great disadvantage. The volun-
teers needed here brought their Spring
fields, but the exchange for Krag-Jor-
gensens has been begun. The Second and
Third Wisconsin were the first to get
them. but there are enough modern rifles
to arm all and to spare
