Most of the overland Indian trails
of long ago have disappeared since the
white man settled the country, but for
tunately the river trails are still there
and are practically in the same primi-
tive condition as the red man left
them. The Indian padded his canoe
in the sloughs, chutes and bayous OF
our great river and avoided the main
stream on account of the swift current
and he loved these quite inlets and
creeks, being away from the wind and
the sun on the river Black Hawk s
Indians would journey every fall down
to the bottoms of Skunk river and
Devils creek near Nauvoo to hunt and
would take the following trail:
Leaving Sukenuk at the banks OF
Rock river near Sears, they would take
either the trail through Indian slough
or Kickapoo slough, which formerly
was an arm of Rock river, but is now
cut off by the Hennepin canal. They
would follow beautiful Haystack
slough and the Andalusia chute, Velie
chute and Hershey and arrive in the
vicinity of Muscatine without once be-
ing Obliged to take the open river.
These bayous and chutes were the
highways Of the Indian. but are almost
forgotten now. being away from the
steamboat travel of the great river.
Network OF Branches.
The Illinois shore between here and
Andalusia is a net work OF branches
and arms of both the Rock and Mis-
sfssippi rivers and most of these
chutes are only known to the hunters
and fishermen of this section. On

slough. Turkey island and Indian
slough, where l spent many happy

TWO YEARS IN BED
DR.. WILLIAMS PINK PILLS CURE
STUBBORN RHEUMATISM.
No One Who Reads This Can Afford to
Let Prejudice Prevent Giving the
Remedy a Trial.

DR.. Williams Pink Pills have been
curing the most stubborn cases OF
rheumatism for nearly a generation
and thousands of grateful patients
have given testimony that cannot be
ignored.
If you suffer from this disease and
have not given the pills a trial per-
haps it is your prejudice or the inf1u-
ence of some friend that has prevent
ed your finding health. Perhaps your
doctor cannot help you and the thous-
and remedies recommended for rheu-
matism do not touch your case. We
have on record hundreds of just such
cases cured by Dr. Williams Pink
Pills and will welcome the opportunity
to submit the evidence to you.
Robert Odbert, a machinist. living
at POI Cameron street. Detroit, Mich.
had very distressing experience with
rheumatism for about two years. He
makes the following statement: About
the year 1887 l felt the effects of rheu-
matism which gradually grew worse
until | was compelled to give up work
for time. The years of '97 and '9S
was confined to my bed most of the
time. | was under doctors treatment
but found no relief. My legs were
swollen from the hips downward and
red blotches appeared all over them.
Frequently they panied me so. that l
had to bind them tightly with strips
of linen. This sometimes relieved the
pain but at other times failed to do so
At times l had to crawl to my work,
using two crutches. During these
spells l suffered greatly from pain
around my heart which | attributed to
the rheumatism.
AT last my mother, who then lived
in Stratford, wrote me and asked me
to take course of treatment with Dr.
Williams Pink Pills. / did and in a
short time | found myself getting bet
ter and have had no trouble since.
may here add that l consider myself
least sign of the disease since and feel
better now than l ever did For these
l recommend Dr. Williams
Pink Pills to any one affected the same
rs 1 was
The testimony of Mr. Odbert, con-
,erning the specific value of DR.. Will |
Jams Pink Pills as cure for rheuma-
ism, is of interest to all sufferers from |
his most distressing disease. DR.. Will |
Jams Pink Pills not only cure rheu- |
natism but many common diseases de-
,eding directly or indirectly upon de- |
,raved condition of the blood, such as
inaemia. Indigestion, sciatica, neural
ria. nervous headaches and many |
orms of weakness.

INDIAN WATER TRAILS NEAR HERE
NOW MUCH AS IN RED MANS DAY

= the east a quiet and perfect sheet OF
water. 1t used to be a fine place fol
mallard ducks. Farther on is Dealt
slough. about three miles long, its
forked arms almost cut Big island III
two. 1t is generally good hunting
and fishing place The Sieghartner
brothers make their home here. The
land adjacent TO these sloughs is low
and liable to overflow. and therefore
not suitable for agricultural purposes
but it is a wilderness of trees and
vines and has not changed from Indian
times.
Reason for Attachment Clear.
1t is no wonder that the Indians hat
ed to leave the beautiful Rock river
country to be exiled TO the naked prai-
ries of Iowa and such was their love
for this spot that as late as the COS 4
band of them would come every winter
from the Tama reservation in Iowa and
pitch their wigwams on Haystack and
Kickapoo sloughs.
Often in my young days we would
go down to Colman lake and try to get
pair of skates on young Indian
buck and watch him cutting capers on
the ice. But the times have changed
and the red man has disappeared for
ever.
Many of our people are not aware of
the beauties OF our great river in this
vicinity, its inlets. sloughs and bayous
most of which are passable in low wa
ter except where our Uncle Sam has
improved CD the river with his dams.
Our people think they have had an out
ing when they put on their Sunday
clothes and take a car for the Watch
Tower or Campbell's island to spend
the day. but let them take launch or
rowboat and explore these beautiful
highways of the red men and they will
get the real thing. 1t will bring them
nearer to unauthorized nature and ma
