OURAY

Our5y-a fat, inscrutable-faced Ute Indian-loudly proclaimed nlmseH The Friend of the White Man. Ger tain white men living near his reser- yation proclaimed quite as loudly that the chief was a most unmitigated old scound,rel. Others held that he was one of those somewhat rare specimens. a good Indian" Here Is his history woven with the tale of an Indian up- rising Ithat brought his people into tragic prominence about thirty years ago:
 The branches of the Ute nation" were shattered over large sectlons or Utah, Colorado and other states ouray and his ttribe lived in Colorado. They were m,pre or less at peace with the white sattlers Ouray, who was rather we'll eddcated, had gone several times to Washington to urge his tribesmen's rights Nathan C. Meeker, the local Indian agent, managed to dispense justice sbn the reservation and was thought Ito have won his red wards love ards absolute trust

 Colorado was becoming more and more thic Ely populated by white men. Land thafAhad once been practically free to all cpmers began to take on much highe 4alue. Settlers grumbled that the UtaS reservation was too large and that 50 much good ground would be in bettIer use if parceIled out among white mfen than under native owner ship Meeker saw that the reserva tion must soon or late be cut down. He fst said to have talked the matter over with Ouray and, with the chiefs to have suggested plan for easing the coming blow to the Utes. : The Utes (whether inspired by 6uray, or, as he claimed, against his a kvice) flatly refused They said they were hunters, like their ancestors, not 1nere farmers. They rebelled against ithe agents authority. Daily the situ- ation grew worse. At last, in July of 1869, Meeker told the Indian depart ment at Washington that an outbreak seemed imminent He asked that sol diers be sent to overawe the savages
 Accordingly two months later force under Major Thorn burgh came to look into the state of affairs. Every effort was made to keep the coming of the soldiers a profound secret But in the mysterious fashion known only to Indians the news was flashed from

CANONCHET

the man they had so lavishly enter tained and had dressed in silver laced coat was actually enrolling him. self among their enemies. So. in March, 1876, they sent an expedition under Capt Michael Pierce to punish Canonchet for breaking his treaty pledges.
 Pierce and his troops marched into the Narragansett country and near the Pawtucket river falls found Canonchet with 300 Indian braves at his back. Canonchet, as if in fear, crossed the river with his men. Pierce followed in hot pursuit But as the English militia men reached the farther bank the re- treating Canonchet suddenly halted and gave the order to attack. He had lured the English across the ice choked stream in order to prevent them from escaping into the forest. With the river at his back and the Indians rushing down upon him from the banks above, Pierce was caught in a trap. He formed his soldiers iu double line of battle, back to back, on the brink of the stream, and prepared to meet the avalanche of savage aS- sault as best he might During the fierce battle that ensued Canonchet and his braves slew nearly every man.
 News of this disastrous affair reused all New EEfagfand. livery colony there was called on for militiamen to crush Canonchet. A strong force of soldiers and friendly Indians, under Capt. George Denison, bore upon his camp, took him by surprise. Canonchet made a dash for the nearby river, meaning to leap into it's waters and swim to safety. AS he ran he threw away the silver-laced coat the English had given him. The Indian allies of the col. onists gave chase, but Canonchet's feetness of foot kept him well ahead of them. Just as he neared the bank he slipped in the mud and fell. Be- fore he could scramble to his feet he was seized
 The English gave Canonchet over to their Indian friends for execution.
 He was shot His severed head was sent by his fathers Mohegan foes to the English governor at Hartford. and his body was burned.

Any Port in a Storm.

In a New England seaport town there is a wealthy but illiterate man, who owns many vessels, and follows their course over the seas by the aid of a large atlas and ten-horse- power magnifying glass.
 'T've just had letter." he said to a neighbor, from one of my captains, and he tells me he's been in a fearful storm. I'll read you from his letter what puzzles me. He says:
 "'The waves rose like mountains. We were driven before the wind, to the very great danger of our lives, and put into great jeopardy

THE SECRET OF SUCCESS
Genuine Merit Required to Win the
 PeOpIe'S Confidence

Have you ever stopped to reason why it is that so many products that are extensively advertised, all at once drop out of sight and are soon forgot ten? The reason is plain-the article did not fulfil the promises of the man. ufacturer. This applies more particu- larly to a medicine. A medicinal prep aration that has real curative value al- most sells itself, as like an endless chain system the remedy is recom- mended by those who have been cured, to those who are in need of it.
 In an interview on the subject a prominent local druggist says Take for example Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, preparation have sold for many years and never hesitate to recom- mend, for in almost every case it shows immediate results, as many of my customers testify. No other kid ney remedy that I know of has so large a sale."
 The success of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root is due to the fact that it fulfils every wish in overcoming kidney, liver and bladder diseases, corrects urinary troubles and neutralizes the uric acid which causes rheumatism.
 A free trial bottle will be sent by mail, absolutely free. Address Dr. Kilmer & Co.,, Binghamton, N. Y, and mention this paper. Regular size bot ties sold at all druggists-50c. and $1.00.

FOUND Dead IN Bed!
PAGE THIRTEEN

Mr.. John C. Harris, prosperous young
farmer of Chambersburg, N. Y, went to
bed last Thursday night feeling as well as
usual. Next morning his wife found him
dead in bed beside her Was it murder?
Yes and no. No, because he died from
so-called natural causes-yes, because for
months he'd known that he had heart disease
and that sudden death might come from
the least over-exertion, or by sleeping his
left side, and this last proved too true And
yet this bright, intelligent young man, with
everything to live for, wouldn't listen to reason
either to his doctor or to the earnest plead
ings of his wife to do something. 1t don't
amount to anything" he'd say, only little
palpltation. It's my stomach, / think 1t
will go away of itself" But delay cost his
life Was not this sef-murder?
This case is only one; sixty thousand peo-
pie die yearly of Heart Disease Six in every
ten have it: Many don't know it, they think
it's something else and doctor the stomach
kidneys, female organs, etc, and get no
better and a good many who do know think it
can be cured. Now Heart Trouble is just as
durable as any other disease; we have proved
this fully by curing over hundred and thirty
thousand cases Many of these were the
most chronic serious, complicated kind. IN
which all other remedies and doctors had
faxed, and hope seemed gone, but our treat
ment cured them quickly and to stay cured!
In very many cases OF II eaTt Disease troubles
with other organs are present, also, and it IS
therefore useless to treat the heart alone and
one reason why our treatment cures is because
it attacks all of the wrong conditions together,
and builds up the whole system, besides
strengthening and curing the heart.
We believe that we can cure YOU, and no
matter how bad off you are, to prove Our faith
we will send by mail, postpaid, without any
conditions, without any restrictions, and with

:" trial." neither is it patent medicine" it

DYNAMITE TO KILL MOSQUITOES

New York,-The residents of Kern
ey, N. j., are experimenting with dyn-
amite for the determination of
mosquitoes. The plan will not give
any enterprising GOLDSMITH any
chance to allege that the Jersey mo-
squito is so large and ferocious that
he cannot be destroyed by other
means, for the dynamite blasts are
not being employed against the in
sects directly. The operations follow
suggestions of Prof. John T. Smith,
the state entomologist. It is Prof.
Smiths plan to excavate number of
large ponds and stock these with
small fish which. will feed on the mo-
squirta larva. About four hundred
pounds of dynamite were exploded to
make the pond, the surface of the
marsh in which the experiment. is
being conducted being first oiled to
prevent the escape of any of the in
sects.

THE AGE OF ADVERTISING.

This is an age of advertising. We
cannot do business success fully with
out it. Recently, when the Chicago
papers stopped publication for three
days, business in the city stores was
practically at a standstill. I re-
member when certain large estab-
Hshments in New York boosted that
they did not advertise or said that
satisfied customer was the best ad-
Vertjsement. Tiffany, Broakaw Bros.
and other well-knoWn houses did not
advertise, but they do today, and so
does every large concern In those
days the merchant sold his goods
over the counter and the manufac-
turer sent out his statesmen, but to-
day people buy the goods which they
want and which thew know some
thing about because Of the Informal
ton given by the advertisements. =

1 JeHS, IN clrculatlOn, IN lnHu-
ence, and in business, shows
that back of it is a wide SEN
timent as we'll as popular leader
ship.
Mr.. Watson's peculiar power with
his pen, second to none in the land,
might account for the romantic be-
ginning of the publications. 1t
takes the response of the people at
large under his leadership, to &C
count for the continued, accumulat-
ing interest, such as now makes
possible the plant at Thomson. Mr..
Watson must give us again, the
story of the rise of the Jeffs.
The combined circulation of the
weekly and monthly is now over
10000, employing a force in all
of about thirty in the offices and
press rooms. The pay roll calls for
over $500 per week
The Progressive Democrat has al
ready over 900 subscribers, after
eight weeks history and bids fair
to equal in width and weight any
county paper i'll the State.
The dozen or more books and
pamphlets by Mr.. Watson, hereto
fore published in the North, will
gradually. and as soon as possible,
be issued from the plant here, which
will become eventually publishing
house.
This progress is due to and part
OF the large popular interest which
must continue in order to the full
development Of the original purpose.
in order that this interest con-
tinua there must be rallying points
and rallying days.
One rallying point was letting out
stock to friends. That privilege is
still open, and is daily taken advan-

The Significance of Our Rally Day

swers to letters through life time.
This is a good record for man yet
in his prime.
The rally day becomes an annual
or semi-annual class-meeting. Here
the graduates and the pupils hob
mob for stimulation and culture.
The constant instruction of the
Jeffs in history and political econ
omy and morals is a matter we do
not duly consider. Information is
the source of eloquence," said
Disraeli.
There is a difference between hay
ing something to say, and having to
say something. An editor who has
to say something every week is
under the press and not ON it, He
must pad. The editor who is always
full of ideas draws from original
sources and never pads-never puts
in stuff just because he needs space
filters. He has everything to say
from himself-the difference be-
tween a spring and a bucket.
