carefully prepared, and consumed 16 hours in the delivering, occupying the attention of the court for two days. On the third day MT. Webster spoke for six hours. And during all the pro- cCedlngs the courtroom was packed w!th the beauty and culture of the city.
 Towards the close of the trial the situation became tense As tho wrongs i inflicted on the Indians were described by the attorneys indignation was often a; c white heat. and the judge made no attempt at suppressing the applause which broke out from time to time.
 For the department MT. Lambert son made a short address, but was lis- tened to in silence.
 Fl was late in the afternoon when the trial drew to close. The excite luent had been increasing. but 1t reached a height not before felt when Judge Dundy announced that Chief Standing Bear would be allowed to make speech in his own behalf.
 Not one in that audience besides the army officers and Mir Tib5.es had ever heard an oration by an Indian chief. All of them had read of the elo- quence of Red Jacket and Logan, and they sat there wondering whether the milti-Iooking old nan, with the lines of suffering and sorrow on his furrowed trow and cheek, dressed in the full rohec of an Indian chief, could make q speech al all.
 Tt happened that there was a good interpreter present-the son of Father Hamilton, welI-known missionary.
 Standing Bears Address.
 Standing Bear arose. Half-facing the audience he held out his right hand a2G stood motionless so long that the stiffness of death which had settled down on the audience became almost un5earable. At las., looking up at the judge, he said
 That hand is not the color of yours, but if prick it, the blood will flow and I shall feel pain. The blood i5 of the same color as yours. God made me, and l am man never committed crime. If l had, l would uot stand here to make defense. would suffer the punishment and make no complaint
 still standing, half-facing the audi ence. he looked past the judge out of wiuaow as if gazing upon something tar in the distance, and continued.
 '''I seem to be standing on the high cauk of a great river, with my wife and little girl by my side l cannot oruSs the river. and impossible cliffs arise behind me. l hear the noise of great waters; l look and see a flood coming.

 There was silence in the court as the chief sat down. Some tears ran down over the judges face. Gen. Crook leaned forward and covered his lace with his hands. Some of the ladies snbted
 Orator Given Ovation.
 All at once that audience by one common impulse rose to it's feet and sacn shout went up as was never heard in Nebraska courtroom. No one heard Judge Dundy say Court is adlourned. There was a rush for Standing Bear. The first to reach him was Gen. Crook. was second. The ladies Hooked toward him, and for an hour Standing Bear held a reception.

FACTS IN NATURE.
Not Only Do We Get Inspiration From
Nature, But Health a. Well.

For people who are rundown and nerv-
Gus, who suffer from indigestion or dys-
pepsia, headache, biliousness, or torpid
liver, coated tongue with bitter taste In
the morning and poor appetite, 1t be-
comes necessary to turn to some tonic or
strengthener which will assist Nature
and help them to get on their feet and
put the body into its proper condition. 1t
Is becoming more and more apparent that
Natures most valuable health giving
agents are to be found In forest plants
and roots.
Nearly forty years ago, DR.. R.V. Pierce,
now consulting physician TO the lnvallds'
Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo,

extracting and ombining certain medici-
nal principles from native roots, taken
from our American forests, he could pro-
duce a medicine which was marvelously
efficient in curing cases Of blood disorder
and liver and stomach trouble as well as
many other chronic, or lingering all
ments. This concentrated extract OF
Natures vitality he named Golden Med
ical Discovery 1t purlties the blood by
putting the stomach and liver into
healthy condition, thereby helping the
digestion and assimilation OF food which
feeds the blood. Thereby It cures weak
stomach, indigestion, torpid liver, or bill
iousness, and kindred arrangements.

or bad taste in the morning, frequent
headaches, feel weak, easily tired, stitches
