tional council of administration, the
50th national e%ncampment of the
Grand Army of Republic was usher
ed into official being. Immediately

at arms.
Street decorations have been more
varied and doubly effective by the

flags are strung on ropes and swung
across the streets high over head.

THE PRAISE CONTINUES


Madison is no exception. Every
section of the United States resounds
with praise of Doan's Kidney Pills.
Thirty thousand persons are giving
testimony in their home newspapers.
The sincerity of these witnesses, the
Tact that they live so near, is the best
proof of the merit of Doan's. Here's
a Madison case:

FRANK MEYERS WAS INDIAN
PRISONER 81 YEARS AGO.

Pierre, Aug. 29.-Frank Meyers.

relatives, recalled yesterday that ii
was the fifty-first anniversary of the
date on which he and four compan-
ions carrying dispatches from old
Fort Sully, located about three miles

Fort Rice, were captured in Little
Cheyenne river by a band of hostile
Sioux.
The party left Fort Sully on tho
cath, headed for Fort Rice, which
was located near the present site OF
Bismarck, and were making good
time without any indications of In
dians when they ran plump into a
band of about twenty in the Chey-
enne river hills. Among them We're
Indians with which the force to
which they belonged had battled at
Kildeer Hills the year previous.
The captured scouts were taken
into the Sioux camp. a short distance
from the place where they were
taken, and were much relieved when
they found that even a larger party
of Sioux, who had spent the previous
winter at Fort Sully, and were
friendly. were camped with the hos
tiles.
The friendly Indians, as soon as
they learned who the captured men
we're. Immediately took charge Of the
situation and rescued the whites
from the hostiles, and. after feeding
them. saw that they got a good start
on their way north without interior
ence on the part of the hostiles.

cago Tribune on February 7th said: 1.-THE
most complete and sudden cure of every
variety Of dope fiend' is about to be ad-
ministered by the United States Govern
ment through the enforcement OF the new
Federal law, which will become effective
on March first"
''The consensus Of opinion among medi-
cal men is that the immediate results will
be unexpected and appalling. They predict
an outbreak OF crime-of weird unusual
crime-an epidemic OF suicide, a wholesale
collapse Of careers, and breakdown OF
prominent and popular citizens at which
the country will stand aghast."
Prominent physicians, druggists and law
yers, who have examined this drastic law
declare that it will be impossible for the
millions Of good men and women who are
victims OF the serious diseased condition
caused by former indulgence to procure
the drugs necessary to prevent unbearable
suffering, insanity and death.

Right at the outset the greatest obstacle

this to the department OF commerce,
