and the date given Of the settlement
at the mouth Of Boone river and the
raid on the Lott family was given
by Lott himself, for he was with
the expedition at the time 1t was
written.
The number of authorities above
cited prove beyond doubt that the
raid on the Lott family occurred IN
December, 1876, and that Mrs. Lott
died about the first of January
1S47. The date on the monument
and in the dedication address should
be 1S47, instead of 1S49 The date
should by all means be changed so
as to accord with the facts of his
tory. It may be stated with GER
tainty that at the date given on the
monument and in the dedication
address, Lott was living at the
mouth of Boone river with his sec
ond wife, in the same log. cabin in
which his first wife died. At the
same place were porn >untO LOU anu
his second wife three children, two
daughters and one son. At the birth
of the son the second wife died.
This was in the first half of the
year 1853. A home was then Sc
cured for the two little girls in the
family of William Dickerson in
Worth township, Boone county,
Iowa.
The writer hereof was well ac-
quainted with the two girls, having
been their instructor in three terms
of school taught in the Pleasant
Grove school house, near the, Dick
erson home.

An Oklahoma Woman Tells How

General debility is generally due to
impure blood Its causes arc worry,
overwork, failure OF the body to regain
its health after a severe sickness, lack
OF nourishment from a disordered di-
gestion, or some drain upon the system,
all Of which result in thinning the
blood, preventing it from carrying
health and nourishment to the tissues
OF the body
There is no more perplexing trouble
than debility cases in which there is no
acute disease but in which the patient
sinks lower and lower despite changes OF
medicine and similar experiments.
That DR.. Williams Pink Pills will re-
store health under these conditions is
no speculation but the fact has been
proved in hundreds OF cases similar to
