Rupture suffering and truss wearing
banlshcd forever" This is the promise
held out to every rupture sufferer by a
doctor and scientist in n little town in
New York State, who has discovered 4
wonderful, yet simple cure for rupture
that any one can use at home. without
operation, without the use OF dangerous
drugs. without pain. without loss of time
ana Nlthout detention from business.
The fame of this wonderful treatment
mas spread everywhere. Physicians, sur
geons and scientists are all marvcling at
us great curative powers. Rupture suf-
iercrs all over the world are giving
thanks to it's discoverer who is DR.. W. S.
Rice. Adams, y. Y.
One hundred thousand people have al
ready cured themselves by following the
doctors advice. and il is confidently as
serted by the discOverer and others who
have investigated that such thing as
incurablc rupture is n thing of the past.
So startling We're the reports that
reached this paper as to the cures that
were being effected that a reporter jour
neyed to Adams to interview Dr. Rice.
He found the doctor a tall, well-built,
wholc-souled man of intense earnestness.
fired with the ambition to cure every
rupture sufferer in the land, and abso-
lately confident that he had found a
means TO do so.
Really" the doctor said, in reply to
my first question. there is nothing Won
derful about this discovery of mine that
people are making such a fuss about. 1t
is simple, natural cure, safe, painless
in their own home. without any loss OF
time or interference with their work.
But let me show you actually what my
method has done" the doctor said, as he
led the reporter to his record room and
showed him file after file of letters, all
testifying to the wonderful cures his dis
covery had effected for them.
The doctor showed me letters from
people who had been ruptured upwards
of so and 60 years. He showed me let
ters from old men and women so and 80
years old, who told how their remainin q
days on earth had been freed from suf-
fering and how their life had undoubted-
ly been heightened by his discovery. He
showed me letters from fathers and
mothers. telling how their little ones,
even down to infants but n few weeks
old, had likewise been cured. He showed
me letters from people who had been
through the horrors of strangulated rup-
ture and whose lives had only been saved
by an instant surgical operation. and yet
as soon as they adopted his treatment
their sufferings ended and they were
permanently cured. In fact. he showed
me letters from all sorts and conditions
of people in all walks of life-doctors.
physicians. clergvmen. lawyers and other
professional and business men, as well
as farmers, teamsters. blackmiths and
others who work hard and whose cure
was all the more wonderful He showed

widows and sons of veterans to take
action with regard to the bill before
Congress to place all officers of the
war above the rank of Major upon the
retired list at three-quarters pay. The

The resolutions declared the sense of
the meeting to be that every honorably-

was a plain military road leading up the
valley, which, for the present. we had nothing
to do but follow.
1t was beautiful morning; the air was
fresh and pure as it came over the green
waves of prairie grass, which stretched away
to the right and front of us, all covered with
glistening dewdrops, and to the left rolled the
gray waters of the Missouri, the monotonous
clay color relieved by the bluffs and cotton
wood groves upon the other side.
We spent but little time in viewing the
scenery, however. Our thoughts went out
after Charlie, and we discussed again and
again the probability of his coming upon the
thief or thieves, as the case might be, and
what would happen if he should overtake
them in possession of the mules.
"You don't suppose he would attack them
if there were more than one! asked Uncle
Ben of US.
81 don't know said Jud, gravey "Char-
lies an awful plucby fellow, and he is armed
with a sixteen-shooter. He will certainly de-
mand the mules, and if there is but one of
the thieves, he will fight him should he be
refused"
"Of course" said the colonel, and he looked
grave and troubled.
We hurried forward as rapidly as we dare
urge our horses, and about the middle Of the
forenoon met train of government teams
coming down from Fort Sully.
The colonel inquired eagerly of them if they
had met either the mules or their pursuer,
and described both minutely; but they had
seen nothing Of either. and with anxious
hearts we pushed on.
About two o'clock we came to the "cross-
ing on Chateau Creek, a small tributary OF
the Missouri, and thirty miles OF more from
Yankton, where we concluded to camp for
dinner. There was a small cabin on the other

so much in the army as scarcely to miss the
loss Of 9 few hours sleep-in fact, that he had
always been little owish in his nature.
we discussed our trip while we hastily ate
our breakfast. The captain was of the opin-
ion that the mules would be disposed Of either
at Fort Randall or at Pierre. The first was
about day and half's hard ride from Yank-
ton, and the second was five or six.
Although the thieves were known and sus-
pected at both places, yet there were plenty
tractors without exciting suspicion, and often
the government officials were not over scru-
pulous about bargaining with thieves.
II they were sold at Randall in all proba-
bility Charlie would not overtake them, or get
a sight OF the thieves at all, and this would
most likely be the case. But if they should
go up the river to Pierre, or further, there
was no telling what might happen, as when
so far from the reach of civilization, the band
seldom took any pains to hide either them
selves or their booty.
There were several Indian agencies situated
at different points along the Missouri, where
the traveller could get supplies of provisions,
if he happened to run short, SO we arranged
to take but little with us, excepting coffee and
crackers.
Charlie left my Winchester with the cap.
tain, and | now took possession of that, and
left the shotgun in its stead. Uncle Ben al
ways carried a revolver in these parts, but,
as he had no other weapon, he borrowed a
breech-loading carbine of the captain.
Thus equipped, we set out up the river about
sunrise, at gait as lively as we thought our
horses could stand for whole day There

identity and demand them, Come on as fast
as you can. Don't worry about me. No time
for particulars. CHARLIE"
While Jud and / read this together, the
colonel gathered from the woman that, early
IN the forenoon, a couple of days before, two
white men had gone by, riding ponies and
leading span of mules with a harness on
them; that Charlie had arrived at noon or a
little after; that her husband was white
man, adopted by the reservation tribe" to
which she belonged-the Yanktons; that he
was away from home now; that Charlie had
taken dinner with them and left this note in
her hand, describing us to her, and that she
had watched for us ever since.
We now rode down the stream, picketed our
horses, built q fire, and boiled some coffee.
We knew now that we were upon the right
track; that Charlie was also; that there were
two white men in possession of the mules;
that they had at least seven hours the start
of our comrade, and that he had forty-eight
hours the start of us. Not very cheerful
showing.
But we felt decidedly better about Charlie,
for we were now assured that he knew whom
he had to deal with and would be upon his
guard.
"He must have Travelled without regard to
horse flesh in order to reach this place at
noon, starting as late as he did," said Uncle
Ben. But he can't hold out that way we
shall find. We must not try to do too much
Panka Agency, twenty-five miles above here,

Charlie there with the mules? for if he over
takes and catches them at Randall, the mat

turning to the woman, he questioned her fur

The little piece of paper was written over
with a pencil, and in so great hurry as
hardly to be legible, and ran thus:

ing off Diamond Head Thomas went
out alone beyond the reef, in a small
boat that he and friend had made,
the frame of the boat being covered
with canvas.
Although the sea seemed smooth
when he started the little boat was
soon filed with water and sank. He
was some distance fro mthe reef and
had only am oar to aid him to swim
ashore. The daughter of Henry Ber-
tleman had fortunately observed the
youth, with the aid OF a glass and they
saw him after his boat had sunk. They
caused a boat to be put out from shore
to his assistance and the youth was
rescued just in time, for he was nearly
giving up hope of rescue when the boat
picked him up.
