G. S^ASAT, Bcshvili.5, NEK li Indian Trader tells bis story of Kickapoo Indian Sagwa. Cured of « Distressing Stomach Difficulty. Rushville, Neb., June. 5 Some time ago after suffering severely with stomach trouble and dyspepsia, which had been greatly aggravated by the alkali water of the western country, and when I had reached that stage where I could frequently hold nothing on my stomach, and would even throw up water as soon as drank, I learned from a Sioux Indian, who had been on a visit to the Kickapoo tribe, of a wonder­ ful remedy called "Sagwa." I got Mm to procure some for me. The effect was remarkable. I tried to get more from the Indian, but he would not let me have more of his. He prized it 60 much he would not give it up. I th?n learned that Healy & Bigelow, of New Haven, Conn., had an arrangement with the Kickapoo tribe, and was putting < their remedies on the market. 1 sent and got a bottle of the Kickapoo Indian Sagwa, and found ft to iie t he •sameas .that I had procured from fcha Sioux Indian. I got more, and after the use of a few bottles, I was not only re­ lieved but entirely cured, and nave efcayed cured ever since. I can eat anything set before me. Bait bacon, which used to have a most distressing effect, I can now eat and relish like an Indian. I cannot speak too highly of the Kick­ apoo remedies, and cheerfully recom­ mend them to anyone. Q.

When I got into IkkI after reading "Twenty True, Heal Ghust Stories" tny feet were very cold, and my head was correspondingly hot, and sparks dashed before my eyes with nervous­ ness. I turned and tossed, and could not deep. The clock struck twelve, and I was wondering that it had stopped striking when I heard the cat in the hall below, mewing to get out of doors. 1 ought not to have been any more afraid of ghosts out of bed than in, yet though 1 am not counted a timid man, 1 did feel averse to gDing down the dark stairway into the dark ball bo let Maria out. None of the ghosts with whom I had spent the evening had poked long, bony hands through the balusters to seize the ankles of those untimely going up or down­ stairs; but I hugged the wall closely as I went down-stairs, and had an un­ comfortable, creepy feeling when I saw Maria's shining eyes reflecting a faint gleam of light from the top of the stairway. I think 1 said some very unpleas­ ant things to th£ cat as I opened the vestibule door for her. Had I been less annoyed with her, probably I should have remembered before al­ lowing the inner door to slam behind me that I had no pockets in my night­ shirt, and consequently no latch-Key. As I opened the stieet door, the hall door banged to, and there I'was -r-shut out Shutout! In my night-shirt, with not even slippers on my feet, 1 was in the front vestibule of a house right on a principal street in a city, and no one in the house to let me in again! No ghost's work was this. I could only blame the cat* the wind, myself, and more particularly my wife and daughter for having gone off visiting and left me to such a misadventure. After wrestling vainly awhile with the heavy lock of the heavy hall door, I lost hope of re-entrv. aud opened the street door. Anxiously I peeped up and down in hope of seeing a policeman, of whom I might possibly j ™ To "years oid. » n^'i>°j,ccrjjan waf 1 I did cry; I am not ashamed to own it I had enough to make me cry.

At the moment I re­ solved to open the vestibule door quick footsteps came along the pave­ ment They stopped in front of my house. Goodness! Was the man coming in? 1 shrank back to the farthermost corner of the porch as I heard a voice: "Pour pussy! poor kitty! Does her want to get into de porch?" j»fter an interview with unwelcome benefactor, had returned to the front step*. The meddler mounted them and pushed the door open. Maria curved in and affec­ tionately writhed about my legs, while the inan went down the steps. I know that man, and if ever I have a chance to give hitn such a fright as he gave me-- His feet clacked away out of hear­ ing. Then Maria and I sneaked to­ gether out of the front door. Per­ haps she felt guilty, and desirous to apologize to me; at any rate she purred loudly and rubbed herself against my legs, and got tangled be­ tween my feet, and threw rue head­ long down the steps to the sidewalk. Just then I heard a policeman's whistle, but I did not wait for him to come along. Now 1 was outside, 1 was afraid he would arrest me be­ fore I could explain.. I think 1 muse hare been* in the state that boys call 4'rattled." Common sense would not have been compatible with my night garb in the moonlight on the city street. So on I sneaked,' away from the direction of the whistle, and Maria continued to Cherish my ankles. After 1 had passed six bouses and reached the end of the row, I found the gate locked. Maria easily scratched her way to the top ot that seven -loot irate, thanks to what some­ body's smart child called the splin­ ters in her feet In following Maria 1 soon had splinters in my teet and elsewhere. How could I go carefully * when I felt everybody in the houses opposite must be looking at me, and all the policemen in the city bearing down on me in a s^uad? Besides, I did not realize the splinters at the time as 1 do at this present. Now I was in a back yard with a high fence all around. I gotov'erthe fence nearest my house, acd into an­ other yard just as somebody's alarm clock whirred so loudly that I thought it was a burglar alarm. Without waiting for a lamp to be lit in the house, 1 got over the next fencc be­ fore Maria, who followed. Another fence! I was not cold now. Very iittle exercise warms one sometimes. I never was more heated in my black clothes and white neck­ tie, than I was while without those garments on top of the third fence. From that narrow pulpit I fell upon an ash-barrel, and off that across a ladder and a wash-tub before I got to the next fence. This fence was alow one,and I cleared it at a bound, with­ out acquiring more splinters. But, unfortunately, I lande l on a dog that I knew very well. Though I was his neighbor he seemed to have forgot­ ten our acquaintance. I shall ever remember the consequences, which are not healed over yet. I did not wait to whip the dog, but got over the next fence with some loss ot length in the hinder part of my night-gown. How many fences I got over I do not know. At last, when every dog in the neighborhood was barking, and lights were flashing in the house where lay the ash-barrel, i and the ladder, and the dog that knew me, 1 got into my own back yard, and trioped down the basement- kitchen steps. 1 knew it was my own back doer because I scraped the remaining skin off my right ankle on ray own coal­ scuttle, which I had been mending there that afternoon. Then I stepped on the hammer and a piece of iron hoop, which made assurance doubly sure. 1 sat down to think. The stone step was cool. It seemed best to think standing. After meditating a while I came to the conclusion that daylight must be near, and someone might see me Detection after so many toils and fears would make me to have suffered and struggled in vain. Now I had to do something de­ cided. So 1 tried to force in the door. It would not yield. 1 lifted the hammer to break it in, and re­ flected* that the neighbors would surely hear me, and come to see what was the matter.

I thought of the back door; but how was I to get around to the back door? Mv house was about the mid­ dle of a solid front of brick houses, with no rear entrance except through a high gate at the very end of the short street ! Between my house-front and the corner were two clectric lights. How not much except my own back yard at night--full of splinters, my shins barked, my head full of ashes, bitten sore by a dog--why should I not cry? As crying did not improve my position I soon stopped and felt des­ perate. Maria jumped up to the side- window of the dack door. As I looked wrathfully at her in the dim light, I noticed that there was a hole in tbe giass against which she arched her iniquitous back. Happy thought! I they shone.

REAL SOURCES OP THE- NILE. Ancient Myths Concerning the Mbnntalu of the Mootk 1 The report of Dr. Baunn aim's latest geographical investigation of the Ka- gera River, and the country lying be­ tween that stream and Lake Tangan­ yika affords an interesting and import- ant contribution to the history of the sources'of the Nile and a singular con­ firmation of the ancient myths con­ cerning the Mountains of the Moon. Sept. 5 last Dr. Baumaim's expedition iliu Kagera River, and was re­ ceived by the natives of Vrundi with extraordinary demonstrations of joy and respect. He learned that Vrundi, from Ujiji to Buanda, for ages had been ruled by kings who were supposed to be lineal descendants of the moon, and that Ihe natives believed him to be the last king, who had died a generation before and who had now come back to them. On Sept. 11 the expedition crossed the Akenyaru, which is not, as supposed, a lake, but a river. Dr. Bau- mann also discovered that the so-called Lak Mworengo is In reality a river which flows into the Akenyaru, and came to the conclusion that there was no extensive sheet of water in Ruanda or North I'rundl. On Sept. 10 he ar­ rived at the sourcoB of the Kagera, at the foot of the precipitous and wooded hills which form the watershed between the basins of the Buflzi and Kagera. This mountain chain is known to the natives by the name of the "Mountains of the Moon," and is held in peculiar r<_vereuoe by them. Here Dr. Baumann maintains the real source of the Nile to be, for if "it be acknowledged that the Kagera is the chief feeder ot the Vic­ toria Nyanza, it follows that the head­ waters of the Nile can be none other than the Kagera itself in the Mountains of the Moon in , Urundi, within the boundaries of the German East Africa." --New York Post, Frightened.

He eyed the thick tropical growth suspiciously, and moved forward only when he was satisfied that no venom- »us creature was lying in wait for hitn. Suddenly he heard a sound behind him--a hoarse, etrange, ominous sound --and at the came time he saw the tall grass move. Cold with horror, he sprang away and utruck a fearful blow at the moving place in the grass. Then he picked up the body of his lifeless enemy. It was si bullfrog as large as a man's head. Cement l'ac log for Steam Joint?, Among the more recent industrial ap­ plications of Portlan 1 cement is its substitution for rubber and abestos preparations tn the packing of steam joints, the fact appearing, from exten­ sive practical trials, especially in Ger­ many, that such packing is quite as efficient as those which have hitherto been relied upon, while its cost is much below the latter. In practice, the ce­ ment is made into a paste with water and spread in a layer from one-fifth to one-half Inch thick over the surface of the metal, and the plate or cover to be fixed is now placed tn position, and the screws simultaneously screwed down very slowly. After the layer has been compressed to about one-eighth of an inch in thickness, the screwing is sus­ pended and the cement allowed to harden for four hours; the e crews are then turned further and the edges plas­ tered again with cement. The joint is completed in about eight hours after the making of the cement. Important If True. The following bit of interesting In­ formation appeared in a late number of the Centralia (Mo.) Guard: "It may, perhaps, be a matter of news to some that the editor of the Guard was 50 years of age Nov. 20, and his wife 29 Jan. 2." "An excellent remedy," is what Mr. W. H.

Formerly the demand was almost ex- clusively".for wooden bedsteads, and very few iron and still fewer trass beds were sold west of the Mississippi, says the St, Louis Globe-Democrat. Now, however, there is a steady ca'.l for gooi iron and brass bedsteads, as well as for lower-piiced grades. St. Louis is mak­ ing a large quantity of furniture every kind, and for some time has beej^ manufacturing iron bedsteads of very durable and popular pattern. Now, to meet the demand for artistic brass bed­ steads a plant is being put in, and an­ other important addition made to the already extensive manufacturing fa­ cilities of the city. One of the reasons of the great growth in the furniture business of the city is tho increased friendly relations tetween St. Louis end Mexico. Some people think there is not much scone for trade with Spanish-American countries, but this sentiment is confined exclusively to those who have never beon to Mexico or any other of the republics in which the Spanish language is spoken exclu­ sively or extensively. One month spent in any of these countries will convince the most skeptical that the United States ought to have nine-tenths of the trade of these prosperous communities, and that it can have it for little tuore than the logical asking. I must say a word as to tbe ef­ ficacy of German Syrup. I bave used it in my family for Bronchitis the result of Colds, with mo^t ex­ cellent success. I have taken it my­ self for Throat Troubles, and have derived good results therefrom. I therefore recommend it to my neigh­ bors as an excellent remedy in sudt cases. James T.
