WHAT Is Malaga.

Malga IL not designed to be Cure-all,
as at first might appear. 1t is a purely
vegetable compound, containing the nc
tive medicinal properties which Nature
has placed in the hands OF the careful
student in the realm OF Botanical research,
and is the result OF years Of practical ex-
perience in the laboratories OF two OF
the most successful practitioners in the
United States, men who enjoy the fruits
OF an international reputation, well and
nobly earned by their success in combat
ing disease with Natures own remedies.
Malaga ia especially prepared tocombst
and destroy the germs Of Malaria, Chills,
La Grippe and Fever. IL acts quickly,
eliminating the disease through the Kid
neys and Liver, healing and purifying
them, and cleaning the blood OF refus,
matter and disease.
Malaga will cure Acute and Chronic Kid
ney and Liver Troubles, Pains 10 the
Back. JOlDts anu i<finDs, muCOu-, DiOOo
or Brick Dust in Urine. IL strengthens
the Urinary Organs, and makes Thick,
Sluggish and Scanty Urine flow freely
at will
IL strengthens the Mucous Membranes
that are effected by Catarrh, Colds, etc,
effecting a radical and quick cure.
Malaga il also composed OF slightly Bit
ter tonic principles, which make it an
ideal Tonic and Appetizer, and cure for
Nervousness, Indigestion and Stomach
Troubles.
Anyone living in Mslarial,' Chills and
Typhoid Districts should always have
bottle OF Malaga on hand and take 1t once
or twice day to prevent contamination
with those diseases which are ever pre-
sent and ready to attack a debilitated

MILE Laos WANT MUCH.
These Indians Ask for Certain
Assurances.

Washington, Feb. IA delegation
OF three Mile Laos Indians arrived in
Washington yesterday to consult the
Indian office about the removal to
White Earth and also about the dis
bursement Of the $4,000 under the
agreement negotiated by Inspector Nc
Laughlin in the summer of 1902. The
interior department and Indian Office
want these Indians to remove at once
to White Earth in order that the land
may be opened to settlement and en-
try under the Morris act. The Indians
contend that they are not required to
remove from their old reservation at
once, but remain until quarters have
been provided for each member Of the
tribe and only so fast as such quarters
are built. They have been informed by
Agent Simon Miche,et, also, they say,
that he can build houses for only about
twenty families every six months.
There are between 500 and 600 Indians
on the old reservation, and at the rate
of removal Indicated it will take more
than twenty years to get them all off,
their old reservation. They also claim
that they were promised subsistence
until they got started in an agricul-
tural or industrial wy, and want some
assurance on that point. 1t is probable
that all these difficulties will be stright-
ened out while the delegation is here.

Women Employed to Board In

Women Passengers
rL'RrArloNs ARE STOPPED
Lady inspectors Prove a Success
in Preventing Young Women Com
ing Across Alone From Going Wrong
Thru the Schemes of Dangerous Men
The Practice Will Be Continued.

New York, Feb. 12.-The experiment
of having women employed by uncit
Sam aborad incoming liners to look af-
ter the morals Of the women passengers
for the first time today.
Three of the five women picked oui
tried 1t. They boarded the Cunard liner
Ivernia, crossing the storm tossed
waters of the bay from the revenue cut
ter to the ship on ladder that was al
most horizontal instead of perpendicu-
lar. Before the Ivernia's passengers
were landed at her dock they had sue
ceeded in stopping a Irritation between
a young woman and a young man pas
senger before it got beyond the harm.
less stage.
Helen A. Taylor, Sarah Harrison and
Mathilde Wichmann We're the women
who went down the bay today. All of
them are unmarried, but not oil of them
are young. Captain Bradley of the Cali
umet, the cutter which made the trip,
gave the new inspectors the accomoda-
lions of his cabin. When the cutter
bore down upon the Cunarder 1vernia
some of the anxiety left the faces of
the women. The mail port was open,
and the women expected to have an
easy climb.
Isn't it nice Of them?' said one Of
10 ,{cl, all
have an opening like that
When the ladder had been run from
the cutters deckhouse to the port the
incline was very little. Miss Harrison
picked UP her skirts little and was
the first to venture across. She went
on all fours and nobody was shocked.
The others crossed safely and the sus-
pense was over.
A woman reporter who had shared
the captains cabin with the inspectors
explained afterward that two had on
divided skirts gathered at the knee.
while the third wore under herlong skirt
black pantalets gathered at the ankle.
The women had settled the veXed ques-
ton of dress for themselves.
On deck Miss Taylor saw young
girl, ABOUT 10, receiving some atlentloH
from a young man. The girls told
male Inspector that she was coming
from England to visit her relatives in
California. and that an agent of the
railroad was to meet her
On the pier. Miss Taylor whispered
10 Miss Harrison and Miss Harrison
up, showed her badge, and
svae the young man a look that ended
The Irritation then and there. After the
young man had fled Miss Harrison ac-
the girl to the pier, where
she found the railroad agent waiting
'or her.

RE Van Worst of THE Woman Who

1t is used as preface to the book,
which will be published early next

The paragraph which especially at
tracted the presidents attention was
one in which Mrs. Van Worst deplored
the voluntary sterility of the Ameri-
cam born women of this country. She
declares that the fecundity among them
is less than in any other nation of the
world, unless it be France, whose anxi-
ETY. regarding depopulation we would
share in full measure were it not for the
foreign immigration to the United
States. Immediately upon reading it
President Roosevelt wrote the following

HoAR AND HENDERSON.
is Said Both Have Changed Front
on the Trust Question

Washington, Feb. 12.-Senator Hoar
and Speaker Henderson have change!
their attitudes OH legislation in the last
few days and they have apparently
changed their allegiance to trust bills.
Last week Senator Hoar was hostile
to the Littlefield BILL which passed the
house,and it was consigned to a pigeon
hole in the senate judiciary commit
tee, of which Senator Hoar is chair
man. Speaker Henderson wanted the
Littlefield bill or no trust legislation.
Now Senator Hoar is working his COM
mittee overtime to get the Littlefield
bill reported to the senate. He fears
the Elkins rebate bill, which has all
ready passed the senate and has been
reported to the house by the committee
on interstate and foreign commerce. is
too drastic, and he prefers the Little
field bill.
But Speaker Henderson changed his
Elliins bill thru the house as soon as
the sundry civil appropriation bill has
been passed. The committee on rules
considered the question and has pre-
pared rule for the consideration of the
Elkins bill. 1t will be passed by the
house this week and complete the trust
legislation.
1t looks as tho the speaker would win
and that Senator Hoar's labors on the
Littlefield bill would come to nothing.
He may get the Littlefeld bill out of
committee into the senate. but 1t will
go no further, because the trust legiS-
lation will be completed.

SALE OF SMALL TRACTS.
Mr.. Stevens Willing to Pay More for
Smelling Land.

washington, Feb. 12.-The house
committee on public lands yesterday
ordered favorable report on the Gam
BILE bill, which has passed the senate
providing for the sale of isolated tracts
in the Indian reservations opened to
settlement.
Representative Stevens will make an
effort to amend the sundry civil bill by
striking out the provision limiting thu
amount to be paid for additional land
at Fort Smelling to $500 an acre without
changing the total amount to be paid
for the tract. If the amendment is
adopted it will permit the war depart
ment to pay $4,000 for $40 acres, or at
the rate of s13O per acre. The PROPOSE
ton will probably be opposed by Rep
resentative Cannon.
