The report OF Charles J. Bonapare and Clinton Rogers
Woodruff appointed to investigate the charges made
against federal officials In the Indian Territory substan-
italy confirms the representations made by s NJ Broslus
agent o. the Indian Rights association.
The report fully iustes the motives and the methods
OF Mr. Broslus AS result OF the facts SET forth and
the recommendations made In the report, President
Roosevelt has declared that the abolition Of the Dawes
commission il II be found possibeat an early date would
be desirable. Inthe meantime, the mombers Of this
commission and other federal Office holders having rea
tions with Indian affairs and at the same time holding
interests in trust companies banks land or other busI
ness organizations or properties that aeaeced by their
official rulings must resign sever all such business
connections The way is prepared therefore for an Inn
mediate improvement Of the Indian situation, but the
solution Of the complex problem is not yet at hand.

tory are deplorableso deporabe that Mr. Bonaparte

A Wonderful Discovery.

Broadland, S. D., March 2S-Quite
a sensation has been created here by
the publication of the story Of G.. w
Gray who, after a special treatment
for three months was PROSTATE and
helpless and given up to die with
Bright's Disease. Bright's Disease has
always been considered incurable, but
evidently from the story told by Mr..
Gray. there is a remedy which will
cure 1t even in the most advanced
stages. This is what he says:
Il was helpless as a little babe. My
wife and l searched everything and
read everything we could find about
Bright's Disease. hoping that would
be able to find a remedy. After many
failures my wife insisted that I should
try Dodd's Kidney Pills. l praise God
for the day when | decided to do so
for this remedy met every phase Of
my case and in a short time | was
able to get out of bed and after a few
weeks treatment was a strong. well
man. Dodd's Kidney Pills saved my
life"
A remedy that viii cure Bright's
Disease will cure any lesser Kidney
Disease. Dodd's Kidney Pills are Ger
tainly the most wonderful discovery
which modern medical research has
given to the world.
