A WOMAN'S HEART.
Mrs. Samuel G. Dyer Tells q Harrow.
ing Tale of Suffering.

McCarron, Mich, April 8 Especially.
Mrs. Samuel G.. Dyer, of this place,
has given the following interesting
letter for publication:
"For years, suffered intense pain
in the region of the heart. doctored
with the best physicians. Some OF
them would relieve me for short
time, but the pain always returned.
Ny heart was so bad that would have
to sit up in bed for hours to get relief.
] would lie awake almost all night. I
am 62 years of age, and no one can un-
derstand how much I suffered with
this Heart Trouble.
"About a year ago, heard of Dodd's
Kidney Pills, and commenced to use
them. From the first my condition i'm
proved. The pain in my heart gradual
ly grew less, and my general health
much better, and now I can say posi-
lively that am entirely cured. can
sleep all night, and enjoy almost per-
feet health. I thank God for the cure
that has come to me through the use
of Dodd's Kidney Pills.
81 have thought long over the mat
ter of giving this letter for publica-
tion, and am now doing so without any
solicitation whatever, and simply be-
cause / feel it to be my duty to express
the profound gratitude / feel for my
recovery, and to let others who may
be suffering as was know how they
may find cure. know that nothing
else but Dodd's Kidney Pills cured me.
because i have taken no other med.
icine for over year. Ifeel better now
than 1 have for many years, and it 10
all due to the use of Dodd's Kidney
Pills."
Mrs. Dyer's case and its cure has at
tracted great deal of attention, and
her letter is splendid tribute to the
curative properties of Dodd's Kidney
Pills.

TO Be NO RUSH THIS HNE|
Government Land on the Indian
Reservations Will Be Opened
on the Lottery Plan.
APPLICANTS MUST Be PHOTOGRAPHED.
Every Person Desiring q Claim VIII Regis
ter, That There May Be No Possibility
of Transfers-None of the Lands Can Be
Obtained as Free Homes-4O,OOO Ap-
pIicants for 13,473 Claims.


Washington, April 13.-The method
of disposing of the lands in the Kiowa
and Wichita reservations in Okla
homa, soon to be opened to home
stead entry, is receiving most careful
attention from the officials of the in
terror department. 1t is practically
settled that the lands will be opened
by lottery. Applicants must register
before the opening and be photo
graphed, so there will be no possibility
of transfers.
None of these lands can be obtained
as free homes. They must be paid for
by all claimants at the rate of $1.25
per acre at the time of submitting
final proof. The law also requires five
years actual residence, cultivation and
improvement, except that honorably
for the time of their service in the
army.
The highest number of homestead
claims which could be taken in the
two reservations, even if all of the
lands were desirable, is 13,473. The
Indications are that there will be
easily 100000 applicants. The two
reservations may be opened at the
same time, but the opening of each
will be as separately conducted as if
they were thousand miles apart.
The opening of the Kiowa reserva-
ton must not be later than August
of the present year, and it will take
until near that time to complete the
allotments to the Indians.
