the terse advice we want to give you
about that hacking cough or democrat
izing cold with which you have been

weeks. Take some reliable remedy
for it today-and let that remedy be
DR.. Bosohee's Germsn Syrup, which
has been in use for over thirty
years. A few doses Of 1t will I'M
doubtedly relieve your cough or cold,
and its continued use for q few days
will cure you completely. No matter
how deep seated your cough, even if
dread consumption has attacked your
lungs, German Syrup will surely effect
a cure-as it has done before IN thous-
ands of apparently hopeless cases of
lung trouble. New trial bottles, 25c

TO PRESERVE ORDER
Deputy United States Marshals viii
heIp in Rosebud Openinq.

I
Washington June 1S.-Secretary
Hitchcock yesterday received a letter
| from Commissioner of the General
Land Office Richards now in the wes.
preparing for the opening of Indian
reservations, in which he suggests
that the United States marshals cf
South Dakota and Minnesota be au-
thorized to employ such number of
deputy United States marshals as
they deem necessary for the preserva-
ton of order at the opening of the In
dian lands in Gregory county, S. D.,
and at Devils Lake, MINI.
Secretary Hitchcock Immediately
referred the letter of Commissioner
Richards to the attorney general and it
is believed he will promptly accele
to the request and that the United
States marshals in the vicinity of those
reservations will be given ample au-
thority to employ as many deputies
as they may find necessary to preserve
public order and aid officials of the
land office in opening che lands in
question.
1t is the intention IF Conniss cper
Richards to minimize all confusion,
and especially to prevent any disorder
whatever.
A corps of expert clerks from the
land Office here will leave Washington
July to attend to The clerical affairs
of the opening up of the Rosebud
country, and in fact all preliminaries
have been arranged. SO hat there IL
no possible chance of any hitch or
confusion in apenng 10 white settle

nations spend.
New York contains about 100000
inhabitants. Chinst mas more than
400, 100000. The revenues of the Chi
nese empire are only $75.0oo.000. The
American metropolis spends three
times as much as the republic of Mex
ico and more than all the Spanish
American republics between the Rio
Grande and Chile. Canada has an In
come less by s4onoeooo than New
York and the same can be said of The
Netherlands The amount spent on
schools in New York is four times the
reven,le of the Persian empire.
London with its population of $780,
600, would naturally be considered 4
close rival of New York in the matter
of expenditures, but it is far behind. 1t
Is difficult to compute the expense of
Greater London. but it is approximate
ST5,000,000 or 80 per cent less than New
York. Where London spends $12 per
capita on its population, New York
spends $40. Moreover, London is pauper
ridden and spends on the poor alone
more than $20,0oO.0 600. In 1900 London

Paris, June 1s.-A significant ex-
change of dispatches occurred between
Emperor William and President Loubet
following NJ. Thery's winning of the
James Gordon Bennett international

The emperors dispatch says:
II hasten to felicitate you. Mr.. Presi-

the pleasure of being witness. The
welcome which the public has given the
victor proves how success gained thru
intelligence and common purpose serves
to create sentiments free from rivalry"

grateful for your ma ajestys amiable tel
egram and for the sentiments which
have inspired it. Success of French

ed than by Il growing Industry which
was SO worthy Of obtaining success"

favorable impression and promises to
alleviate some of the lingering French
German animosities.

an honor rarely bestowed. even on
