REPORT EXAGGERATED.
Whites Were Agsressors in Trouble
 With the Indians.

Washington, November 4.-The com missioner of Indian affairs today received the following from Indian Agent Brennan who Is at Newcastle. Wyo:
 Report of Indian trouble here exagger- ated. From best information at hand, 5 miles north of Lusk. fight occurred be- tween officers and some twenty Indians. some of them from Pine Ridge. Seven Indians, including one squaw, killed; also sheriff and one deputy. About ten In- dian families are under arrest here; will start them for agency tomorrow. In my opinion, a mistake was made in preelpi- tatlng the fight. Would recommend that United States attorney of this district be directed to make a thorough investiga- tion. Am assured by officers of this coun- ty that no further trouble will occur'
 The Indian officers agree with the view that whites were the aggressors, and will recommend to Secretary Hitchcock that he ask the attorney general to have the affair investigated

Dr. Miles Nervine Gave
 Back My Health.

It IS not always severe manual labor that breaks down the health. Mental strain, worry, anxiety, the cares of business or the home, have an equally strong tendency towards undermining the nervous system, upon whose vitality the health of the body depends When you find yourself unduly fretful, anxious easily excitable; when your sleep is troubled and you can get no rest; ii you have frequent headache, are losing your appetite and are getting thin, you should be- gin at once a thorough course ot treatment with pr. Miles Nervine. There is no nerve tonic so good, so sure, so safe. It speedily restores the weakened nerves to healthy action, and builds strength and tissue.
 "I was raised on farm at hard labor, and when I left the farm and began preaching, the change of occupation and excessive study shattered my nerves and impaired my memory I began taking Dr. Miles Restor- ative Nervine, and after using two bottles could see decided improvement, and con. tinued until had used nine bottles, when l considered myself completely cured. That was seven years ago so that know my cure is permanent My healthfhas been excellent ever since. l am glad to add my testimony to the merits of this wonderful restorative and trust that other sufferers may receive the same benefit from its use that have.

 They blaze as does yon god of day. For never since the morning stars
 Together sang with joyful song Ger new born earth, by God-head sent To join the grand, triumphal throng Of suns and worlds that onward sweep Around His great, majestic throne, Was ever truer, nobler men

 The traitor, Satan, and his horde
 From heavens courts to pits of fire, Were more unselfsh, brave and true Than was that grand, heroic band Who fought beneath the stars and bars For God, for home and native land.

And lol above each mountain pass,
 Each hill and vale each cove and glen, A glorious halo fingers yet,
 Where meteor-like that prince of men, In brilliant speed and splendor swept
 Athwart the flames on battle crest Pat Cleburne with his flashing blade.
 The blazing comet of the west Now look on you great ocean wide,
 Extending far as pillows sweep, Cut by the "Alabama's" keel,
 See there name engraven deep Eternal and as lasting there As Neptune's star in wonder sky Brave Admiral Semmes, hero grand, Whose name and fame can never die And yet, oh, yet, with rapturous eyes To Cuban isle but turn your gaze.

 And flowed her streets with crimson flood, Who then stood there-bright star of hope But brave, defiant Ajax-Hood? And oer yon Old Dominion state, Star gemmed her crown with glory shines, With southern pride I here avow That nowhere on this earth's confines Can there be found another land
