Uncle Sam to Settle With a
Salina Man
For Goods Destroyed by the In
dams in 1876.
ON A A RAID.
Thomas Hoyne Then a COntrac-
tor on the Union Pacific.
His Losses Over $1,000 in Gro
ceries and Clothing.

Salina, May 18.-Thomas Hoyne, a
contractor, has received word from
Washington of the proposed settlement
of an cid claim. When the Cheyenne
Indians made their raid through Sa-
line county July 6, 1875, they destroyed
property valued at S7.100 belonging to
Thomas Hoyne, then a contractor OF
the construction work of the Union Pa
cifc railroad. That was thirty-three
years g and ever since Hoyne has
been trying to recover h value of his
property from the government. h
house committee on claims has finally
reported the claim favorabiy, first re-
ducing it to $4,000, and it is expected to
be put through both houses at this seS-
sion,
At the time Hoyne suffered the loss
things were higher in Kansas than
they are now. For instance, the In
dams destroyed 100 pounds of tobacco,
worth 81 per pound, 100 wooden under
shirts at SO each, so pairs of boots worth
Sc per pair, 900 pounds of worth
20 cents per pound, so bushels of po-
tatoes worth $3.50 per bushel, 5000
pounds of bacon worth so cents per
pound, 300 pounds of coffee at so cents
per pound, 800 pounds of salt at 10
cents per pound, $50 cans of fruit at 81
per can, 100 pairs of double wool blank
cts worth $40 per pair, 100 pounds of tea

ITS TRUE CHARACTER.
catarrh Is Not a Local Disease.

Although physicians have known for
years that catarrh was not a local dis
ease but a constitutional or blood dis
order, yet the mass of the people still
continue to believe it is simply a local
trouble and try to cure it with purely
local remedies, like powders, snuffs, ONT
ments and inhalers.
These local remedies if they accom-
plish anything at all, simply give a very
temporary relief and it is doubtful if a
permanent cure of catarrh has ever been
accomplished by local sprays, washes
and inhalers. They may clear the
mucous membrane from the excessive
secretion but it returns in a few hours
as bad as ever, and the result can hard
~ be otherwise because the blood is
loaded with catarrhal poison and it re-
quires no argument to convince anyone
that local washes and sprays ave abso-
lutely no effect on the blood.
DR.. Ainsworth says, I have long since
discontinued the use of sprays and
washes for catarrh of head and throat,
because they simply relieve and do not
cure.
Fol- some time past I have used only
one treatment, for all forms of catarrh
and the results have been uniformly
good, the remedy I use and recommend
| is Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, a pleasant
and harmless preparation sold by drug
gists at so cents. but my experience has
proven one package of Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets to be worth a dozen local treat
ments.
lie ldDiGlS are HpOS
tin, Sanguinaria, Red Gum, Guaiacol
and other safe a~ntisceptics and any ca
tarrh sufferer can use them Win Iul
assurance that they contain no poison
Gus opiates and that they are the most
reasonable and successful treatment for
radical cure OF catarrh at present known
to the profession"
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are large
pleasant tasting 20 grain lozenges, to be
dissolved in the mouth and reach the
delicate membranes of throat and
trachea. and immediately relieve any
irritation, while their final action on the
blood removes the catarrhal poison from
the whole system. All druggists sell
them at so cents, for complete treat
ment.

NO o A FOB DEWEY.
Must Buy From Regular Dealers
Like Anybody Else.

Washington, May ia question re-
Gently arose as to whether Admiral Dew
ey was entitled to an allowance of fuel
as in the cases of other officers of the
navy. The matter was referred to the
comptroller of the treasury, who has de-
cided in the negative. The benefits of the
act of June is. 1878, which allowed officers
OF the army to purchase fuel of the gov
eminent were subsequently extended by
the navy personnel act to officers oNthe
navy, who We're allowed to purchase fuel
to the amounts and at the prices allow
ed to officers of corresponding rank in
the army The comptroller recites the
fact that at the time the act was passed
ther rank of general Of the army had be-
come extinct and has not since been re-
vived and as the law makes no provision
for the sale of fuel to the general of the
admiral of the navy corresponds. there
is none for the sale of fuel to the ad-
miral.

SMITH CRIES FRAUD.
Montana Governor Says He Was
Victim Of a Trick.

Chicago, May ia special to the
Times-Herald from Helena, Mont,
says:
When the United States senate COM
mittee on privileges and elections meets
it will have to face another compl1ca-
ton in the Clark senatorial case. Cow
rno Smith arrived in Butte yester-
day afternoon and wired Attorney Cen
eral Nolan to meet him in that city.
The governor desired to consult the at
torney general as to the form in which
he will put a protest that he will wire
to the senate against the acceptance of
the credentials of Mr.. Clark OF the ap-
pointment Of Lieutenant Governor
Spriggs.
Governor Smith will base his protest
On the ground that the appointment is
vitiated because of fraud. He VIII al
lege that the resignation of Senator
Clark was written in April and that
the date that it now bears, May II, was
the result of the erasure of the original
date, which it will be alleged can be
easily proved by examination of the
document.
He will aIlege also that the r~esigna-
ton was in the possession of Charles
A. Clark, son of the senator for several
weeks and that the resignation of SEN
atOr Clark at the time he did resign
and his appointment by Lieutenant
Governor Spriggs was part of a plot to
insure his appointment by the lieuten-
ant governor. In the carrying out, of
the plot it will be added misrepresenta-
ton and other devious methods were
used to get the governor out of the
state.
The governor will hold that owing to
alleged fraudulent practices followed
in the appointment of Mr.. Clark, that
appointment is void and he will himself
make an appointment to fill the Vacan-
cy from Montana.
While it is not positively known
whom the governor will appoint, it is
believed h a Martin Maginnis, who rep
resented Montana in congress in the
early days of the territory will be cho
sen. He is not allied with either Demo-
cratic factions and has always been a
strong party man.

Fitz VS. Rubin.

New York. May 1s.--Fftzsimmons'
match with Rubin, by the way, has
grown more interesting since the latter
finished working with Corbett. Ruhlin's
manager, Billy Madden, is receiving cred
it for shrewdness in having his fighter
whom many aluable pointers have been
learned. Rubin, while a green horn,
fought a twenty round draw with jeff
ries out on the coast. but since that time
the big Akron pugilist has improved with
rapidity, and today he is o upon as
a dangerous proposition. FTtzsimmons
is expected to beat him by the rank and
file of ring followers, who got a good
line on the fight they believe when they
saw Bob finish Ed Dunkhorst in two
rounds the other night and remembered
that Rubin could not put the freight
car to sleep in % rounds at Coney ISL
and q year ago.

New York. MAY 1S.-It isn't likely
that Jim Jeffries will fight any of the

of the big fellows have matches on now
and will not be able to take on Jeffries.
Fitz and Rubin settle their dispute at

that the only chance Jeffries has for an
immediate fight is with Joe Walcott,

against anybody.
A match between WalcOtt and Tom
Sharkey has been talked about, but as
both men are under h management OF
