To ALL, particularly nvalids, spring is trying
season. Indications of sickness should at once be
attended to. Fatal diseases may be caused by al
lowing the bowels to become corstipated, and the
syst9m to remain in disordered condition until
the disorder has time to develop itself An ounce
of preventive is worth pound Of cure, Is an old
and truthful saying. Therefore, we advise all who
troubled with the complaints now very prevalent
headache, indigestion, disordered liver, want of
appetite, nausea feverish skin, to take, without
delay, Schenck & Mandrake Pills. We know of no
remedy harmless and decisive IN Its action. 1t at
strikes at the root Of the disease and produces
healthy tone to the system. People never need
suffer from any disease arising from disordered
condition of the liver if they would take this excel
lent medicine when they feel the first indications
Of the maladv. Families leaving home for the
summer months should take three or four boxes OF
these pills with them. They have an almost in
st. ntaneous effect. They will relieve the patient o
headache in one or two hours, and will rapid y
cleanse the liver of surrounding bile, and will effec
tually prevent bilious attack. They are sold by
| ali druggists.

We hear nothing of the Arizona and New Mexico Express company commencing business, and 1t is be- ginning to be doubted if it will very soon. If the conference of Messrs. Kerens and Wells recently had in San Francisco, amounted to anything for certain, it is rather strange we hear nothing of it. THE CITIZEN has wished and yet wishes the enterprise we'll. but before saying much more, we must be definitely advised of the actual purposes of the company. We. do not wish to mislead our readers by publishing anything that will in duce them to believe sn enterprise of acknowledged advantage, is about to be put in actual operation, when all we can hear about it is doubtful in this respect.

CHICAGO, September 10-A Wash ington speclal says: The Red Cloud Investigation Committee are in session there Senator Howe, who is a mem Der, is at Laramie Yet at the wish of the Black Hills Treaty Commission who telegraphed the President that he might be allowed to join them, but he thought it best for Senator Howe to complete the Red Cloud Agency in vestigation and has telegraphed him to be on hand. His delay will not i'm pede the investigation, for the testi- many is in writing, and the rest of the Commissioners will resume work to- morrow by calling Prof. Marsh as a witness So far, no evidence is found to duplicate Secretary Delano, Secre- tary CoWen or Commissioner Smith in the frauds, and they have not discover ed that the frauds, as alleged by Marsh, Welsh and Walker, exist or haveeX- isted in the management of the Red Cloud Agency.

 The Commission is empowered to examine into and report on the present system of Indian management, and they will doubtless recommend radical changes, which can be brought about by the next Congress. Whatever evi- dence Marsh or Welsh may have will be heard and the Commission invite anyone aware of anything wrong att the Indian Bureau to state their knOwl- edge. They are determined to avoid or refusing to hear testi- mony, and the criticism which gener- ally follows such investigations. Marsh has said he would appear with cloud of witnesses. If Welsh will not come to Washington, the Commission will go to Philadelphia or send some one to take his deposition.

AS we expected, the Missouri Valley Life Insurance Company has paid the bill in- cured by c. w. Gearhart with The Arizo- na Miner, not because the officers ac- knowledge the company legally liable but because an agent incurred it and in doing doing so, led the publisher to believe he had authority for bis action. This is in keeping with the fine reputation Of the company, which it has always borne, and which will not be tarniShed if they can avoid it. At the same time they have not made a rule to pay unauthorized bills, and every person insured in the company ought to encourage them not to do any such thing. A mistake was made in the choice of a local agent, and the company (having local advisory board which ad- vised against such chOice,) did right in paying the bill in question. The public can rest assured that the Missouri Valley Life Insurance Company will do exactly right in all cases wherein it is legally or equitably responsible.

They have completed a preliminary survey of the route from Anaheim hitherward. Grading is now going on upon the line of this road on this side of tho Santa Ana river Efforts are being made, we are told by correspondent of the Los Angeles Express, to induce the company to continue their grad ing through the San Joaquin rancho, owned by Irvine, Flint & Co.,, and four sections of the best part of that fine property is said to be about what the railroad people would take to do it.

Washington, Sept. 9.--President
Grant has sent a telegram to Adj
jutant General Townsend, directing
him to instruct the officer command
ing in Mississippi to give Gov. Ames
such aid as may be necessary to main
erty in that State, if the insurrection
is too formidable to be suppressed
with the means at the Governors
command. Before sending such order
to the commanding officer, however,
the President directed, the Adjutant
General to consult with Attorney
General Pierrepont as to the legality
of such contemplated military pro-
ceedings. Accordingly, these gentle
men held n consultation at noon
to-day. Action on the Presidents
telegram will be deferred until it
shall be decided whether q proclama-
ton shall be issued, addressed to the
insurgents, the President having re-
quested the Secretary of State and
Attorney General to consider whether
such proclamation is necessary. The
Attorney General is making arrange
ments by telegraph for a conference
with Secretary Fish, who is absent.
1t is definitely known that no action
will be taken by the War Department
until after the issuance of proclama-
ton and the reception of information

Professor Nathan Sheppard delivered the second lee
ture in his course at the Calvary Baptist church. yes

and the most influence OF any writer in any age The
circulation of Dickens books amounts to 2 900 900

He writes in that school exclusively continually In
comparably. He is not first rate novelist considered
plot maker but considered as the portrayer OF be-

ist only in the constructing of plot but in the
elaboration OF character As an artist Of behavior he
stands alone, but a novelist many excel him. There
