Mexico is having her Indian troub.
les little later than the United
States. OF course the Indian risings
in Mexico have occurred often, and
they began as far back as the early
days of Spain's ascendency in that
region. In the United States such
disturbances are probably ended for
good, and they are not likely to ap-
pear many more years In Mexico.
The Indians, however, are much
stronger in proportion to the white
population in Mexico than they are
10 the United States, and therefore
have more Of a temptation and op.
portunity to rise than they have here.
As Mexico grows in popul atioD, how
ever, the Indians chances for caus.
ing serious trouble will diminish.
The Yaqui revolt will undoubtedly
soon be crushed. Democrat.

DIR. Mcdonald has for years made
q study and speciality Of chronic and
lingering diseases that require skill
full medical treatment for their cure.
Such cases as family physicians fail
to help, and pronounce incurable are
particularly solicited, especially those
overdosed with strong mineral drugs
and poisons. DR.. Mcdonald uses on
ly the purest medicines from the veg
etable kingdom. He pays attention
to the cause of the disease and in
structs his patients the way to health
and happiness. DR.. Mcdonald can
show hundreds of testimonials in the
handwriting of grateful patients who
have been cured by him when others
failed. He is so familiar with the
human system that he is able to read
all diseases of the mind or body cor
rectly at glance without asking any
questions. Thousands of invalids are
being treated daily for diseases that
they do not have, while few drops
of medicine directed to the seat of the
disease would give speedy relief, and
permanent cure in a very short time.
Good health is the most precious jew
ell in our crown of happiness. With it
the world is bright; without it, misery
claims us for her own. If you are a
sufferer you should weigh well these
words: A person who neglects his
health is guilty of great wrong to
himself and grave injury to human
ity. The name of DR.. Mcdonald, the
we'll known specialist in the cure OF
chronic and lingering diseases has be-
come household word in the thous.
ands of homes which his skill and
wonderful remedies have made happy
by restoring dear ones to health after
all hopes were lost. The doctor is a
graduate of the highest and best med
ical colleges, and his advanced theor-
les in the treatment of chronic dis
eases surprise the most skeptical. AL

1t will be remembered that the
work as promulgated by DIR. Kedzie
was to ascertain what forage and
lnanurial plants we're adapted to the
plains soil and climate, and would in
crease the soil fertility. After he
was deposed from the dictatorship OF
the station by the wisdom (?) of the
Board this plan was dropped. and
three plats of grasses were pl0wed
up and fitted for corn, and planted,
and three kinds Of commercial fertil.
izer applied, as follows: The first
four rows a certain amount VI No. Il
then four rows to No. 2; then four
rows to No. 3, and four rows left
without fertilizer. This was repeated
four times and each time the amount
of fertilizer was doubled. The result
was the plants were burned up, and
there being but little rain the hills
were marked by piles Of undlssolved
salts, partly mixed with the soil by
the cultivators. The expense OF
such experiments alone render ed
them useless, even II they had been
nationally conducted, and since then
the plats have been untouched, &C
that nothing Is known as to what
the effect of the fertilizers would
have been on subsequent crops. II
is no wonder that the station IL
deemed failure by those who do not
know the lack Of attention, or Of
system In its conduct, fur which
those In charge should be held fully
responsible.
