EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Your letter
of March 90. inclosing clipping from the
New York Sun for March 10, entitled
" Russian Thistle Boon, ;" has been received
The article represents that the Russian thistle
is an important acquisition to agriculture in
Nebraska, being more valuable forage
plant that alfalfa. Much as / would be
glad to welcome such news, cannot place
any reliance on the article as whole, for
some of its statements / know to be false.
For example, it i, said that Farmers Bulle-
tin No. 10 of this Department, issued in
1898, contained the statement that in
Nebraska, South Dakota and Iowa, 10000
acres of fine land had been abandoned owing
to the spread of the weed" What Bulle-
tin No. 10 did say was that "about
10000 square miles in the Dakota. are
infested with the weed, and it is abundant
and really troublesome over about two-thirds
of IL is area" The Sun article makes also
the following alleged quotation from the
annual report of this Department for 1893 {:

AN AFRICAN

Thrilling Account Of Killing
a Wild Elephant with the
Sword.
BY DR.. j. H. PORTER.

The scene of that at first sight impossible
exploit described was in Abyssinia, and on
the Stettite Rivers eastern side. There a
grassy plain set with nabbuk trees, acacias,
and massive, distorted baobabs, runs back for
scme distance to an abrupt range of hills
whose ilanks are clothed with Dense thorny
Jungle This is great game country, per
haps the greatest natural preserve of large
and formidable wild beasts to be found on
earth, and it is also favorite hunting
ground with certain semi-barbarous Arabs
who in their own peculiar way Of adventure
have no rivals anywhere.

HAVE YOU TRIED
SWAMP=ROOT?
THE WONDERFUL new DISCOVERY.
As Proof Of its Marvellous Merits Every Reader Of The Ma
tional Tribune" May Have Sample Bottle Sent Abs,>
1ute1y Free By Mail.

Statistics prove that more people are
brought to the grave by diseases Of the kid
neys and bladder than by any other disease.
For years medical science has been trying
to discover some remedy that would posi-
lively overcome these dangerous troubles.
But not until recently was the discovery
made. DR.. Kilmer, the eminent kidney
and bladder specialist, after years OF study
and research, and after test on test that never
varied in the grand result, announced the
discovery of Swamp-Root, which has proven
itself most wonderful cure for all diseases
OF the kidneys and bladder.
The immediate symptoms and first proofs
Of weak kidneys, are pain or dull ache in
the back, rheumatism, dizziness. headaches,
nervousness, heart trouble, pain in the limbs,
bloating, salIow complexion, puffy or dark
circles under the eyes, bladder irritation,
suppression of urine, obliged to pass water
often day and night, worn-out, tired feeling,
lack of ambition.
If your water, when allowed to remain
undisturbed in glass or bottle for twenty
four hours, forms sediment or settling, or
has cloudy appearance, it is evidence that
your kidneys and bladder need immediate
attention.
Swamp-Root has been tested in so many
ways, in hospital work, in private practice,
among the helpless too poor to purchase re-
lief, and has proved so successful in every
case that special arrangement has been
made by which all readers of "THE Ma
TIoNAL TRIBUNE" who have not already
tried it, may have sample bottle sent abso-
lutely free by mail. Also a book telling
moro about Swamp-Root, and containing
some of the thousands upon thousands of
testimonial letters received from men and
women who owe their good health, in fact,
their very lives, to the wonderful curative
properties of Swamp-Root. Be sure and
mention 1.-THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE" when
sending your address to DR.. Kilmer & Co. +,
Binghamton, N. Y.
This great modern discovery is for sale at
most drug stores in ffty-cent and one-dollar
sizes. Don't make any mistake, but make
note of the name, SWAMP-ROOT, Dr.

Thirty-sixth (sikh) Regiment ot

the Thirty-sixth (Sikh) Regiment of Bengal Infantry whose names are en- graven below, as a perpetual record of the heroism shown by these gallant sol diers, who died at their posts in defence of the fort of Saragheri on September F, 1897, fighting against overwhelming numbers, thus proving their loyalty and devotion to their sovereign the Queen Empress of India, and gloriously maintaining the reputation of the Sikhs for unflinching courage on the field of battle" Then follow the twen- ty-one names The history of the seize and fail of this little frontier post is perhaps the most striirrng and pathetic of all the incidents connected with the recent frontier rising. The heliograph working from the undermined turret while the garrison were being slaugh- tered in the courtyard below is an incl dent which will live forever. More mar velous is the history, when it is remem- bered that the defenders Of Saragheri belonged to one of the youngest regi- ments in the Bengal army, which as regiment had never before seen active service. Raised in 1858, it was dis banded in 1882 and reformed in 1887 to prove itself the mainstay of nearly every rearguard action in the Tirah campaign.-London Times

SHAW VAN AEiER AL.

On account of illness Col. Geo. T..
Wright has failed to qualify as county
attorney and the board of supervisors
has passed a resolution asking r. Shaw
Van to give bond and qualify as county
attorney until the next general cleo
ton. Mr.. Shaw Van is to get the bene-
fit of the raise of salary recently made,
but as he prefers not to move his Office
into the court house he will pay his own
Office rent out of the $775 now given as
salary. The room vacated by Supt.
Myers will be used about three or four
times year as jury room and the
county will pay in all 1851 90 a year ex-
ira on account of the boards's order.
1t is all wrong, but the board evidently
prefers to be wrong rather than 90 back
on its previous order. 1t may be graft
fling to their pride but the people pay
the bill. The county attorney fight will
thus be ur for hearing again this fall.

THE CONTESTS.

The Grand Guessing Contests are
proving such a success that our con-
temporaries are fairly turning green
with envy. They accuse it of being a
lottery scheme, and one paper even
tries to inject politics into the matter.
The REVIEW does not claim that the
idea was original, it was most success
fully used by the Omaha Bee, and the
Iowa City Press, the official democratic
organ of johnson county is now con-
Quoting similar contest. The lottery
bluff don't go gentlemen, why not ac-
knowledge that the REVIEW is THE
paper of Denison, the most read, the
best liked, the most reliable, and the
most enterprising? Meanwhile the
coupon boxes are filling up at all
the stores. The old as well as the
young are becoming more and more
interested, and the guesses are coming
thick and fast. Do not fail to clip your
coupons and make your guesses. 1t
costs YOU nothing and your ability as a
guesser may earn you "a substantial re-
ward. In the meantime our fellow
criminals, the merchants, are thriving
under the load OF crime and smilingly
watching the crowds coming into their
stores to guess. We would advise our
contemporaries as we'll as our other
readers to guess again.
