him which will pleas the Indianes.
On the 18th they arrived at the Mahas
village; "thes Indians has not Live at

All this time Floyd was sick man,
though he says nothing of it. His NAL
ady must have been growing on him,
for his spelling becomes worse, if any
thing. There were two pleasures in
store for him, however; they recovered
vile deserter, which was a great salts
faction to the brave sergeant; and on
August 18th 'Capt Clark and 10 of his
men and my Self went to the Mahas
Creek fishen and Caut 300 and II fish
of Difernt Coindes" What though on
the day following Capt Lewis and IL
of his men went to the Greek fishen
and Caut 700 fish Differnt Coindes?"
One may be sure there was no jealousy;
we may hear the shouts of mirth echoing
along the river still.
Three days later Floyd was ''seized
with bilious colic," writes Captain
Clark, and on the day following he died;
they buried him on the summit of one
of the Sioux City hills, the first soldier
of the United States to lay his bones
west of the Mississippi. Several land
marks in the vicinity bear his name, and
they have lately laid the cornerstone of
a goodly monument for him.

If 'Crys Creek is not the Weeping

Oh the South Side under Large Hill. E"
Rock Bluffs, perhaps. There is no
Pigeon Creek ON the map today.
This takes them out of our district;
but the painfully conscientious entries
of the honest sergeant continue to be Of
interest. The next day they 'passed the
mouth of the Graft River Plate on the
South Side, it is much more Rappided
than the missorea, it is about from one
mile to miles wide, the Sand Roles out

Council Bluffs, Nebraska; Fort Calhoun.
But this is very singular statement.
1t has always been said that Lewis &
Clark were the ones who named this
place, and that they named it by reason
of council they held there with the
Otoes; but one would infer from this
saying of Sergeant Floyd's that it bore
the name before there was any council
held by his commanders.

MAYD0LE'S HAMMER.
(AenSon's Plaster Is Pains Master

When Maydole was told that he made "a
pretty good hammer" he said, "No, don't
make pretty good hammer make the
best hammer that ever aods made"
Every carpenter who saw Maydole ham
mer wanted one. 1t was of the best ma
terial, perfectly balanced, and the head
never flew off. Hammers were divided into
two classes-lst, Maydole's; I'd, all the rest.
Plasters are separated by the same line
of cleavage; LIST, Benson's Porous Plaster
Cd, all the rest. When, for rheumatic pain,
cold, a cough, kidney trouble or any
other disease or ailment that may be treated
externally, you ask for plaster, any hon
est, reputable druggist will give you Ben
sons. He knO,os it is incomparably the
best, and he assumes that you know II too.
AS the name of Maydole stood for hammers
the name of Benson stands for plasters-
the ''real thing" All the medicinal poten.
cies that are valuable in plaster are in
Benson's. Capsicum, Strengthening and
Belladonna plasters are out of date.
An army OF physicians and druggists, and
millions of the people, have written OF
Benson's Plasters as aremedyto betrusted.
Benson's Plasters have fifty-fve highes,
