4 RELIABLE MEDICINE.
An Opinion That Should Be of Inter-
 est to Every Person in Prescott

So many patent medirines and ad- vertised cures are now offered to the public that our readers should sbe glad to know the opinion of a man who has spent years in handling them and profit by his advice.
 The proprietor of the Baker Drug Store says, |" After having solds drugs, and all kinds and makes of medicines for so many years, naturally We have learned something about then-the value and power to cure, and We want Jo say to the readers of the Nevada County Picayune that if the people of Prescott only realized the real curative and strength-creating power of our cod liver oil preparation, Vinol we would not have clerks enough in oar store to fill the demand for it.
 Continued he You see. Ninol is not a patent medicine, and 1T actually contains all the Hfe-giving, body-build- ing, and streng properties of cod Hyer oil actually taken from fresh eods' lvers, but without drop of the system-cIogging, nauseating oil. Vinol makes rich. red blood, and tones up and iHvigorates every organ in the body.
 In the strongest manner We unhes- itatingly endorse and guarantee Vino, to increase the appetite. cure stomach troubles, give strength and renewed vitality to the aged, baIId up puny children and rttn-down persons, make colds and bronchitis or refund to the purchaser every dollar paid for it
 This shows our faith in Vino. and we can only ask the people of Prescott to try VinoI on our guarantee. Baker Drug Store.

OUR CHANCE.

With our next issue the Picayune changes the days of publication from Wednesday and Saturday to Tuesday and Friday We do this in order to accommodate our out of town subscribers. This will enable them to get the Picayune on Saturday instead of having to wait a great many times until Monday, as it now is The Tues day edition will go to press on Monday, and will contain all the news up to Monday noon. It will be put in the post-office-late on Monday afternoon or soon Tues day morning The Friday edi- ton will go to press Thursday noon and will be put in the post office late Thursday afternoon or soon Friday morning, so that our rural subscribers all over the county can get the paper Satur- day.
 Advertisers will please g e [ their ads, and To 8 l announce ments into the office Monday morning f 0 r Tuesday edition Saturday would be better, but not later than Monday noon, and not later than Thursday noon for the Friday edition We believe this will be better for our adver- tisers as well as our readers, Remember that We cannot run @ printing office without system and we cannot take matter that comes into the office late and do justice to the advertiser or to the paper We desire to give you your good moneys worth, and We think the change will be entirely sarisfac- tory.
 We intend to make the Pica- yune one of the representative journals of Southwest Arkansas, as well as a credit to the town in which it is published

More Railroad News.

1t is understood that the work of
building the branch railroad from
short distance below Valley Springs
to Campo Seco will be begun at once.
1t is also said that the route from the
latter point to Gwin mine and to the
timber region beyond has recently
been resurveyed, and this has given
rise to the report that the road is to
be continued to higher points. The
extensive operations of the Sierra
Nevada Water and Power Company,
which for the next five or six years
will call for the shipment of immense
quantities of cement and other sup
plies, appear to offer great induce
ments for the rapid extension of the
road. Campo Seco is now using a
grei:t deal of material in the extension
of Its copper smelling plant and the
road from Lodi to Valley Spring is
blocked with freight cars loaded for
that point.-Calavera Prospect.

Costly Leather.

1--WE have had," said the dealer,
walrus leather two inches thick,
such leather being worth about $500
side. bringing, as it does, 81. 80 a
pound.
cit takes four or five years to tan
a walrus hide of that thickness. If
the hide is not thoroughly and per-
fectly tanned the raw strip left in the
middle Will turn as hard and smooth
as iron.
cit takes two or three years to tan
iDch-thick walrus, and the leather of
that thickness calls for 81. 25 pound;
three-quarteT inch walrus brings IS
cents pound by the side.
''Walrus leather is used chiefly for
polishing purposes by manufacturing
Jewelers.. 1t is cut into discs, which
are mounted as cheels. Walrus is a
durable leather, and it is especially
desirable in this use because it pol

postal facilities afforded the govern
ment is one of the most practical
measures of reform that has been
introduced lately. 1t is not intended
that at the restriction shall effect
private individuals, but 1t is intended
to cut down the great amount of
government property shipped over the
roads at certain seasons and prevent
an undue weight allowance, being
figured out in favor of the railroads.
The appropriation recommended by
the committee on postottices and post
roads will meet the normal growth
of the service, but it is intended to
retrench as far as possible in an en-
deavor to put the postofice on a
paying basis.
1t cost the United States nearly
three times as much to distribute
seeds, bulbs and trees to farmers
and planters as it cost to purchase
the comodities.
Figures in the report of B. L.
Galloway chief of the bureau of plant
industry, for 1905 show that the
government paid S245, 900 fer the
handling of 100000 worth of seeds.
The items of salaries, travelling ex-
penses, assembling and mailing, and
miscellaneous, amount to s2.7O tor

Appropriations for Pensions.

The House of Representatives has
passed the bill appropriating s14C, :
600, 600 to meet the pension bills of
the next fiscal year. This is almost
at the maximum of appropriation.
Mr. Gardner of Michigan, chairman
of the subcommittee, opened the
debate which preceded the passage of
the act, with statement of figures
as to pension payments which are
astonishing and interesting. He
showed that there are yet six names
on the pension roll of the War of
Revolution, though it is 123 years
since it was ended, and 5000 on that
of the second war with Great Britain.
The cost of the great Civil War was
six billion dollars, and during the
forty years that have passed since the
surrender of Lee, the country has
paid So, 300, 600, 600 in pensions charge
able to that war. Mr. Gardner ven
lures the prediction that before the
last survivor is removed from the
rolls, sum equal to the whole cost
of the war will have been paid. At
present there are 800, 900 pensioners
on the roll of the Civil War, and IL,
400 on the roll of the Mexican War.
There were for the Spanish War 312,
600 enlistments, and there are to-day
more pensioners chargeable against
that war than the maximum number
under Shafter in Cuba. Mr. Gardner
predicts that in twenty years there
will be $4,000 Spanish War pen
sloners on the rolls.
AS by amendments to the pension
law age is now to be considered a
permanent disability within the mean
ing of the law, war will have ad-
ditional terrors If the cost is to be
multiplied by two, to meet the pen
sion claims. Mr. Gardner shows that
France pays each year S26, $50, 900;
Germany, S21, ,653, 900; Austria Hung
ary, $40, 723, 4S2, and Great Britain,
50, S5b, 900. The aggregate paid by
these four great powers is S6S, 427, 6S7,
or less than one-half paid by the
United States. The figures are
eloquent.

IL Probably Changed the History of

The most striking case in history of

Musa, though a very great general,

One of his captains chaffed him on the
subject, and Musa forthwith had him
stripped and scourged. For this, at
the very height Of his conQuering ca
reer, Musa was recalled by the caliph
and disgraced. This made it impos-
sible for him to command the Moslem
army at the battle of Tours, on the is
sue of which, as all historians agree,
the destinies Of Europe and perhaps of
the whole human race depended.

Smoking Ponies a Strange
Custom of Usage Indians.

One of the ancient customs of the
Usage Indians which is still followed,
despite the coming of civilization
and the allotment of lands among the
members of the tribe, is that of
smoking" ponies. The custom is
as old as the tribe, and probably Will
be followed as long as Indians wear
blankets. The present ceremony is
the same as has been used by the
members of the tribe since the wealth
of an Indian was counted in ponies.
The pony smokes occur early in
the year, generally after large pay
ment of government funds has been
made. The leading members of
band OF Osages in one part of the
reservation will load all their be-
longings into wagons and ponies, and
go for an extended visit to the mem
bers of another band ID another pa1t
of the reservation. The teasting and
dancing probably will last for several
days before the business of smoking
ponies begins. On the day of the
pony smoke the guests and their hosts
sit in circle, the latter with their
best ponies in herd near them.
The chief of the hosts lights his pipe,
and after it is going we'll he crosses
the circle and hands the pipe to an
Indian whom he likes among the
guests. If the latter smokes, the host
returns and picks one of his animals
from the herd and leads it across the
ring to the honored guest. There is
the utmost formality about the cere-
mony. 1t is an occasion when each
Indian shows his friendship and
affection for member of the other
band, and the affair is attended by
much solemnity. Following the lead
of the chief of the hosts, the other
mem bers of the band in turn carry
the pipe across the circle and present
it to some friend. 1t sometimes
happens that the friend does not
smoke, but this is very rare occur
renee. After all of the ponies collect
ed by the hosts have been smoked to
the guests, the latter take their ponies
and return to their homes.
An Indian likes value received for
the things which he gives aWay, and

The automatic gas kinder and
eXtinguisher of Herr Raupp, of May

effect of light in increasing the eIec

the coming of daylight, the selenium
permits the ready passage of an cleo
trio current, and this causes the shut

dians for a pony smoke, the latter
returns the visit and in turn are the
recipients of ponies. 1t is not always
ponies that are smoked, but the
blanket, bead and calico smokes are
small affairs as compared to the cere
monies attending the disposition of
thousands of dollars worth of horses.
