illustrated in this announcement.
The one case shown here of the
adult (Mr. Charles Jacobs. psor.

was cured in As days. The other
case of the boy { Sammy Minkeyl
was cured in three weeks. The

of this medicament. it is now
nearly three years since the dis

The Canton Indian Asylum.

In0 Canton lnU1an ASylums @
Superintendent Clifford of the Indian
Asylum is continually improving the
asylum grounds and making necessary
additions in connection with the har.
monious operation of the entire system.
There is a great deal to do. when one
opens up an institution like this where
everything has to be arranged and put
in thorough working order from cook
ing apparatus TO padded cells, from q
water tank to a hot and cold wafer sys.
tenn. and hundreds OF other details that
the public know nothing about.
Superintendent Clifford has able gen
tlemen as his associates in the man
agementof the institution. DR.. Tur-
ner, assistant superintendent, and FL
nancial Clerk Seely, are competent and
faithful officials, active and careful in
the discharge Of their several duties.
. When the government officials took
charge there was nothing but an empty
building with 100 acres of unfenced
land around it.
A Aswonderful transformation has al
ready taken place, and the improve
ments only represent 9 beginning.
Aside from the improvements around
the asylum, there has been erected 400
rods Of Z foot steel woven wire fence
with steel corner posts, and 300 rods of
5 foot fence, and two steel arch gates
The top Of the Z foot fence, has barb
wire the entire length of the enclosure.
This will keep the Indians at home and
outsiders from climbing over.
Arbor Day will see wonderful
change in this hitherto treeless tract.
By that time the planting of 1870 trees
will have been finished. The varieties
and number will give one an idea Of
how the place will look in a few years.
There are 200 evergreens, 200 elms, 200
red cedars, 100 white ash, 100 naples,
100 cottonwoods, 100 white birch, 100
boxelders, 100 Carolina poplars, so
mountain ash, and large variety of
ornamental shrubs. Part of the asylum
ground is used for farm and oats, mil
let and bromus has been planted and a
good piece of ground is ready for corn

lum will be one of the most attractive
spots in the entire state, because Uncle

flying, and his pocketbook is always
open.
When all the insane Indians now of
record are congregated at this magni-
ficent home, it will be filled to overflow
ing and one of the most humane acts of
government philanthrophy, which ofi-
ginated in the fertile brain of Senator
Pettigrew, will be amply justified in
giving these unfortunate red skins a
home with christian supervision.
White men take care of their insane,
but an insane Indian is an outcast and
homeless even among his own people.
Divine service is held at the asylum
every Sunday at o'clock Rev. Mar
tin had the honor of holding the first
service three weeks ago. A week ago
last Sunday Rev. Shepherd conducted
the service and last Sunday Rev. Oil

Superintendent Gifferd and his able
staff are entitled to much credit for the
masterly manner in which they have
carried ont every detail in establishing
the only insane Indian asylum in the
world. 55s s5

The Open saloon Curse.

There was no surprise at no license
victory in Canton, but there is good
deal Of surprise at no license victory
at Beresford to those who are not in.
formed as to the causes which led up to
the overturning.
Every merchant who has done busi-
ness in saloon town knows to his sor-
row what the saloon means to him 1t
means hundreds of bad debts, and in
some cases, where man gives credit
freely, it means ruin. The business
men of Beresford have from year to
year found the number of debts or
credit accounts increasing, and in
many cases, are not collectable, because
the money that should have paid the
merchant has gone steadily into the
saloon
To do away with this ruinious policy,
the business men of Beresford turned
against the saloons and wiped them
out. 4
There are towns in Lincoln county
which must adopt the no saloon policy
or the merchants will face ruin. This
is no overdrawn picture. Every mer-
chant knows this to be true and to his
sorrow. Thousands Of men everywhere
would spend little money for liquor
were it not for the open invitation to 60
in and get as drunk as lord if the
drunkard has money enough, and some
men will find money for whisky when
they have no flour in the house.
The opportunities, surroundings and
temptations Of the open saloon are
hundred times worse than any drug
store. The drunken carousals 70 COM.
mon in the saloon are impossible in .
drug store, and let us say right here
that we do not believe in prohibition,
so-called or understood, because man
will drink liquor until the end of time,
and if he can't get it in his own town
or state he will import it.
The very nature of the human race
must change before the devil loses his
grip on the human weakness. Man
may become perfect before the end of
time, but the date Of that perfection is
so remote that we need not bother our
selves about it. Thousands Of men
every year find a drunkard's g grave who
would have been useful and honored
citizens had it not been for the socalled
respectable saloon.
No man will deny this statement. be.
cause its truth has been established
since man learned how to please the
imp Of crime.
just why any business man would
want saloon planted alongside of his
place Of business is one gof the unex.
planned secrets of human weakness.
Every dollar spent for liquor is like
burning so much money so far as local
interests are concerned.
We believe that man will drink some
kind of a stimulent until the end of
time but it is the duty Of every man to
reduce the temptation In this direction
10 the lowest possible limit, and keep.
Ing the saloon out Of your town is the
first step towards happy homes, happy
mothers, we'll fed and we'll clothed
children, contentment and prosperity
instead Of misery and pauperism.
Worthing, Fairview, Hudson and
Lennox can profit by the splendid ex-
ample of Canton and Beresford. Will
hey do it,
