INDIAN AS JACK TAR.
Full Blooded Oneida is Behind the
Guns on the Cruiser Atlanta.

The only American Indian in the
United States Navy is Chapman Schen-
andoah He is on the cruiser Atlanta.
He is an Oneida and was born on
the reservation twenty-nine years ago.
His grandfather was Shenandoah,
The Deer who in his days was one
of the most notable men of his tribe.
At the age of IS Shenandoah could
neither read nor write, but he had a
natural aptitude for mechanics. and
after he had seen a steam engine for
the first time he went home and built
one out of such materials as he could
find. He became a student at Hamp-
ton Institute, and after seven years of
work was graduated, but remained at
Hampton as an assistant in the ma
chine shop
When the war with Spain broke out
he enlisted in the navy and served
first as a fireman on the San Francis
co. and later on the New York, under
Captain Chadwick. He was mustered
out of the volunteer service when the
war was over, but re-enlisted at once
and was assigned to the Atlanta.
The Indian sailor is described by
his friends as fine, stalwart fellow,
of whom his tribesmen have good rea-
son to feel proud. During the war
he was happiest when in pursuit of
the enemy. He confessed, however,
that he would have preferred hand-to
hand encounter with the Spanish
enemies on shore "a man has a
chance then to display his personal
strength and courage" he says.

walls of a fertilization and plant the

A Blacksmith's Strange Experience.

Goodland, Kan. June 3.-N. II. Al
bertson, our leading blacksmith, has
been great sufferer from Rheuma-
tism, He was so bad that he could
not sleep for the great pain In his arms
and shoulders. He had been afflicted
for years, but lately he was so much
worse that he thought he would have
to give up his shop altogether.
Then a strange thing happened. A
friend of his recommended a new medi-
cine called Dodd's Kidney Pills, said
to be cure for Rheumatism. He com
menced to use them. and at once began
to recover. His pain has all left him.
and he Is we'll man to-day. and entire
ly free from any symptom of Rheuma-
tism.
To say that he Is thankful Is putting
1t very mildly He is delighted.
Dodd's Kidney Pills deserve credit
for having cured this very severe and
almost hopeless case.
From recent reports there does not
seem to be anything that they will not
cure. as very bad cases OF Brights Dis
ease, Diabetes. Dropsy, Rheumatism
and Heart Trouble have been cured by
Dodd's Kidney Pills, even after having
been given up by our best doctors.
