INDIAN BRIDES.

A hoax, whose perpetrator may
have been inspired by keen sense
of the ridiculous, has attained the
troublesome dignity of an interna-
tional nuisance. A Paris paper
some time ago published a para
graph to the effect that the United
States government, in its process
of civilizing the FIVE Indian tribes,
has selected 5000 Indian maidens
who we're offered in marriage to
white men. Accompanying each
bride was to be dowry of $4,000
in cash and a quarter section OF
land. This paragraph went the
rounds of the European press, be-
ing reprinted under the general
foreign impression that nothing in
the United States can be too
strange to be true.
For many weeks now the mail
of the president and other high
officials in Washington has been
weighted with ardent missives, in
dited by foreign swains Never
has been such rush of European
applicants for American wives
with their dowries. Race and COL
or count for nothing with these
cver-sea candidates for matrimony.
This flood of Correspondence has
excited much merriment in Wash
ington. An earnest German ap-
plicant, for example, sets forth as
one of his qualifications his love
of music, suggesting that he might
become useful member of an In.
dian band! But amusing as ali
this is, there is a serious aspect to
the case The government acts
charitably in earnestly correcting
a widespread error that could cause
untold trouble That such tale
could find ready credence is a
marked illustration of the profound
ignorance abroad of many things
American.

COMPULSORY
FREE VACCINATION.

Every person who has not been
successfully vaccinated within the
past five years must become so at
once.
That there may be no excuse for
anyone to object to vaccination,
the Board of Health has author
lied the physicians of Florence to
vaccinate all applicants. free of
charge.
Vaccination within five years is
an absolute preventive against
smallpox and the most potent
means we have of stamping out the
disease.
Persons who fail-to see that all
within their household are vaccin-
ated are liable to be quarantined
at any time.

THE TROUBLE MAKER.

The man who breeds dissension
in union is the greatest foe union
labor has to contend with. He
usually employs the cowardly
weapon of slander and falsehood
against some one who did not go
the way the discord- breeder want
ed him to go, and because he dared
to think differently on certain sub
jects foreign to the malcontents
reason, Harmony is the great
force necessary to make the labor
movement success, and the man
who for selfish purposes and with
out good reason tries to make life
a burden to other members should
be set on and squelched. The
Carpenter.

QUESTION ANSWERED.

Yes, August Flower has the
largest sale of any medicine in the
civilized world Your mothers
and grandmothers never thought
of using any thing else for indi-
gestion or biliousness. Doctors
were scarce and they seldom
heard of Appendicitis. Nervous
Prostration or Heart failure, etc.
They used August Flower to clean
out the SYSTEM and stop fermenta-
ton of undigested food, regulate
the action of the liver, stimulate
the nervous and organic action of
the system, and that is all they
took when feeling bad and dull
with headaches and other aches
You only need few doses of
Green's August Flower, in liq-
uid form, to make you satisfied
there is nothing serious the matter
with you. For sale by w. j. Dan
