ready made Is truly marvellous and were IL
not for the high standing of the great physi-
clan and the convincing testimony of thou
sands Of citizens all over the country 1t
would seem too miraculous to be true.
There can be no doubt Of the doctcr's
earnestness in making his claims nor can his
cures be disputed. He does not ask any
man. woman or child to take his or anyone

willing to send free trial packages Of this

would seem that Congress Is up against

might be trying to play grab game on

Indians are now immensely valuable prop
erty. and while there isn't any reason on
earth why the Indians should not be made

despoiled of their rightfnl possessions, or

their broad acres.
Mr.. Eddy, of Minnesota, is also after
the Indians on the Red Lake Indian Res-
ervafion in his State. He wants to have
about 2560O0 acres sold, and the Indians
moved to their diminished reservation else
where. Part of the money derived from
the 81 u of the land, which is valued at 81
an acre, is to be given the Red Lake In

SEALS OF THE SENATE AND HOUSE.

in the transactions of those bodies, as they

not very ancient affair, and its origin

the Senate is its custodian. He affixes it
to all writs, warrants, and subpenas issued
by order of the Senate. He also affixes
it to all certified transcripts from the Jour
nails of the Senate, and that seems to be
the extent of its use.

There are now 2.9OW' officers of the line.
and 1,SO0 of these are of recent appoint,
ment Only 2I6 of these have passed
through West Point, and they all belong
to the youngest set. OF the others, 4!!4
have been promoted from the ranks, 5l2
have been appointed from civil life, and
GIG have been appointed from the yolun-

nearly the entire body Of First aud Sec
ond LieutenantS.
Secretary Root has long been of the
opinion that these young officers needed
training along many lines, and he began
some time ago to develope u scheme of
higher education for them.
He first created officers schools ut the
Army Posts. Then he turned his atten-
ton to special service Schools General
Service and Staff College at Fort Leaveii-
worth, an Artillery School at Fort Monroe.
an Engineers School at Washington, Il
School of Submarine Defenses at Fort
Totten, n. Y. School of Application for

besides an Army Medical School at Wash

The "War University" which has been
authorized by Congress, and which will be
commenced Feb. q, is the crown of this
educational structure, in the eyes of the
Secretary of War.
There will be elaborate instruction in
military law, field engineering. the duties
of officers and troops in actual campaign
ing, tactics and all the wide-ranging intor-
