enough to use some local treatment
to cleanse these membranes, but
any one coa readily see that if
the iaRcmmatory matter is left in
the blood, such treatment cannot
possibly hare any permanent effect.
5. S. S. cures Cotarrh by purifying
the blood of all impure catarrhal
matter and irritating germs and at
the same time builds up the system
by its fine tonic effects. When
S. S. S. has purified the blood, the
MUCOUS surfaces are all nourished
and made healthy. There can be no
inflammation of the membranes
then, because the blood is pure, and
every tissue receives nourishment in
stead OF irritating matter. Our book
on Catarrh will give proper advice as
to what is best to use as a local aid
while S. S. S. is purifying the blood.
This book is free, also any special
advice you may feel you need.

NTR. MCnrErs LETTER.

The East Oregonian publishes to-
day q letter from John McCourt.
United states district attorney for
Oregon, in which he discusses at
length the CaldweIl-Bysrs s1.t ana
thu subject of reservation water rightz.
For the frankness with which ne
speaks Mr.. McCourt is entitled to
compliment but with his views ana
conclusions this paper begs to differ
utterly.
Mr.. McCourt says: "No occasion
exists for the government TO com
mence suit. Indeed, no controversy
exists upon which II can get into the
court as plaintiff either on its own
account OF on behalf Of an Indian"
We cannot see it that way. Why
cannot the government get into court
in behalf Of the Indians? The In
dians are greatly concerned in the
suit brought by Mr.. Caldwell Mr.
Caldwell has rented some .250 acres
of allotted land. It is bottom land
and was rented for alfalfa raising pur-
poses. 1t is 50 specified upon the
leases which he holds and which the
government approved. For one tract
Of 40 acres belonging to A-la-ts-Ia,
Mr.. Caldwell pays sI2.10 per acre
year in rent and he agrees to put % /
acres into alfalfa at a cost estimated
at $3.50.
Nov this land would not bring the
rental Mt Caldwell Is paying If # (

"a with the land None Of the bot
tom land Mr Caldwell has leased
may be rented continuously at irri-
CATION prices unless there is water
for it. 50 the anotteg are heavily
in the suit. Is
According to Mr.. Mccourts state
nent a suryey made shows that $500
acres Of bottom land along the river
may be irrigated. To irrigate that 4:
land would mean to increase it's val
De 400 per acre. at conservative
estimate. In other words It would
add 100000 to the wealth Of the
Indians owning that land.
Then why Is It the government can
rot get into this case either on its
'wn account or In behalf of an In
liam" The government is guardian
or the Indians. Why does it not act
or them and establish their rights? |

csc. That excuse seems unworthy

Organ Maker Adiudged Insane.

! Frank Soukenck, who came to Brattle-
boro last week to enter the employ of the
Estey Organ company and then disappear
ed. appeared in town Tuesday evening.
| His condition warranted an examination
as to his sanity with the result that he
was committed to the Bratteboro Re
treat Monday Chief of Police George
Wilson received word from Stratton that
man answering the description of the
organ maker and who gave the same name
was wandering around in that place Tues
day evening Soukenick arrived in Brattle-
horo, coming on the mixed train from
South Londonderry He was in a sorry
plight. He had lost his hat, shoes and coat
during his wanderings and someone had
given him an old straw hat, pair of lum
bermen's heavy rubbers and an old coat
Chief Wilson cared for the man at the
police station and notified Chairman John
Calvin of the selectmen. Arrangements
were made to have the man interviewed
by H. +. c. Toedt. as the stranger spoke
German. Mr.. Toedt had a talk with the
organ maker early in the evening and told
the chief of police and Mr.. Calvin that he
was sure the man must be mentally unbal-
anced. Charles Ebbighausen had a long
talk with Soukenick that evening and told
the authorities that he was convinced that
the man was insane. The organ maker
told weird stories and embellished them
with fantastic descriptions of things he inn
agined having seen on Brattleboro streets
1t was decided to have the man examined
by physicians and Drs. c. r Aldrich and

A further continuance until Aug. was
granted by the district court, at Greenfield
yesterday morning in the case against Ar.
thur W. Proctor of Mortified for the lar
ceny of funds of the town while member
of the board of selectmen. The ill-health
of the defendant was the reason for the
continuance. Since the arrest of the de-
PENDANT he has been suffering from rheu-
matism to such an extent as to confne him
to his house, and he has been affected men
tally during a portion of the time. Doubt
is expressed by those who are in touch
with his condition as to his recovery. The
actuaries, who have been employed in ex-
aiming the books of the town of North
field report that the deficit upon the
towns books amounts to S6662. In their
report there was much criticism of the
methods employed by the other officers of
the town in permitting so great loss to
accrue
