Women are not slow to comprehend. They’re quick. They're alive, and yet it was a man who discovered the one remedy for their Jecudiar ail- ments. The man was Dr. Pierce. The discovery was his “ Fa- vorite Prescription”—the boon to delicate women. Why go round “with one foot in the grave,” suffering in silence—misunderstood—when there’s a remedy at hand that isn't an experiment, but which is sold under the guarantee that if you are disappointed in any way in it, you can get your money back by applying to its makers. We can hardly imagine a woman’s not trying it. Pos- sibly it may be true of one or two—but we doubt it. Women are ripe for it. They must have it. Think of a prescription and nine out of ten waiting for it. Carry the news to them! The seat of sick headache is not in the brain. Regu- late the stomach and you cure it. Dr. Pierce’s Pellets are the Little Regulators. OKK Wau Beovy 18 BALF DONE” COMMENCE THE DAY BY USING BUCKWHEAT. A Wosorrrezs W oMaN. MME A.

The Acting Commissioner Wants the Earliest and Fullest Information. Acting Indian Commissioner Belt today issued a circular letter which was sent to all the Indian agents with the exceptionof those at the Sioux reservation, who have heretofore received similar instructions. The letter is as follows: “Your attention is invited to the prevailing threatening excitement among the Sioux of North and South Dakota and!some other Indian tribes connected with the “ghost dance,” of which you are doubtless posted by press re- ports or otherwise. It is very important, in view of the tendency of such excitement to spread and obtain a general hold upon the India that this office be kept advised as to thi tion of affairs at each agency with the adoption of all proper precautionary meas- ures to prevent an outbreak of the Indians and to enforce obedience by them toall regula- tions of this department. You are there- fore instructed to keep office fully posted by letter, by tele- graph if the emergenci should re- quire it, of the condition and temper of the Indians under your charge, showing whether any excitement or spirit of disobedience to orders or the regulations of this department which may exist among them is growing; whether an outbreak is threatened and what measures hould, in your opinion, adopted | to preserve peace or enforce obedience to tbe orders of this bureau by the Indi apy sensation: rtson to be kept advised as to ac! which to base action to prevent trouble from the Indians.” SUNDAY MAILS. Postmaster General Wanamaker Tells What Their Stoppage Would Mean. Postmaster General Wanamaker was rather severely criticised during « discussion at a meeting of the Sabbath Association, which has been in session in Pittsburg, for notatopping the transportation of mails on Sunday. Dr. George of Beaver Fall was especially severe in his de- nunciations. Mr. Wanamaker’s attention was called to the criticism, and he said that to stop the handling of Sunday mails means to stop the wheels of the railroads throughout the country at 120’clock Saturday night. In thatevent the cars would be kept standing probably at remote points, where the valuable mail matter would be without adequate protection, He thought that it was not clear what would become of the postal clerks, engineers and other employes during this interval of en- forced rest. To stop the transit of mails for twenty-four hours he said would mean no small matter to the commercial interests of the country. He said that be had examined the question carefully and when he assumed charge of the department he closed all the department offices to Sunday work. The hours of delivery at the free delivery offices were made as short as possible, and no stamps are allowed to be sold or money orders and pack- es received. He added that the application of any considerable number of the inhabitants of any place in favor of the closing of the post office on Sunday would be favorably con- sidered. Personally he was in favor of an en- tire cessation of work on Sunday, but he thought the question of Sunday mails was properly one to be considered by Congress, If the people of this country are in favor of hav- ing the post offices closed on Sunday he said that they could so instruct their Kepresont: tives in Congress «nd the necessary legislation could be enacted.

Treasury Officials Think the New York Stock Market is Quiet. Up to noon today the Treasury Department had received no news whatever from New York as to the stock excitement, and this absence of intelligence is taken a8 an indication that everything is going quietly. Tho surplus is gradually increasing and is now about 213.000,- 000, an increase of about €2,000,000 in the past week. In the effort to relieve the strain on the market about $3,250,000 was transferred by tel- egraph from San Francisco to New York. This has now had its effect and will, in the course of trade, get back to the coast, MILES AND THE MESSIAH, An Army Officer Defends the General’s Course in the Indian Trouble. ‘The paragraph printed in yesterday's Stan about the presidential aspirations of Gen. Miles and their bearing on the present Indian scare in the west has attracted wide attention and has set one-half of the army—the whole army is divided into two parts, the Crooks and the Miles—into a fine state of indignation against the “prominent officer” who ventured the opinion that was reproduced in the paper. An officer serving on the staff of Gen, Miles, who happens to be in the city en route to Chi- cago, ran across a San reporter this morning ond in the casual conversation that ensued made use of the following remarks: “I have but recently boen to the Pino Ridge agency and other agencics in Dakota where the Messiah craze exists and I have little doubt that it is, or certainly has been, the sub- ject of very grave apprehension on the part of the authorities, “It is well known that the strength of these Indians among whom the craze prevails is very great, there being altogether fully six or eight thousand warriors, and although they could probably be defeated by the trobps, yet before then there would be tremendous dam- age done to the prosperity of the country, with- out speaking of the loss of life. THE PRESIDENT'S ACTION, “So much attention has been attracted to the danger that the President telegraphed to Gen. Miles, over his own name, to take all necessary precautions. The experience which Gen. Miles has had with these Indians has given him a thorough knowledge of their char- acter, and he was especially chosen on the Cheyenne commission ou account of his peculiar fitness and knowledge. From the time of the Custer massacre to the final surrender of all the Sioux he was most prominent and several thousand Indians were killed, captured or forced to surrender through his efforts, It seems singular that any army officer, as quoted in Tue Srar, should make such a statement that Gen. Miles is endeavoring to overrate this affair, or that his wise methods, which have received the sanction of the War Department and were directed by the Presi- dent of the United States, should cause him to appear in a political role. Such an inference can only be actuated by A COWARDLY AND ENVIOUS SPIRIT, which, I am glad to say, rarely exists in our army. It is strange that a man with the record of Gen. Miles, both during and since the civil war, should thus be attacked by an officer. That he should be mentioned in the role of a presidential candidate is nothing extraordinary, as nearly all of our most noted soldiers, particularly Grant, Sherman, Sheri- dan, Hancock and Logan, have been brought forth by the people on account of their ser- vices and prominence,” ——_—__—.
