SHERIOAN CROWINC BETTER.
Favorablo Turn In the Condition of
the Coneral.
He Says he Feels Splendid--A Turn
For the Better.
WAsin.NOToN. May 20. The latest re
ports from General Sheridan's nick bed
indicate a decidedly favorable turn in his
condition. At 'J o'clock Jast evening the
physicians in attendance report that
the general looking and feeling bet
ter than lie had for forty-eight hours pre
viously. All day yesterday, notwith
standing newspaper report to the contra
ry, General Sheridan was delirious. He
turned uneasily in his bed and muttered
unintelligibly. The swelling in his limbs
occasioned by oedema, as the result of
sluggishness of circulation, increased.
Later in the night there was a decided
turn for the worse and for several hours
each moment was expected to be his last.
Larly this morning the general's pulse be
came more normal, the swelling in his
limbs decreased, and when the consula
tion of the physici on was held it was
universally decided that a turn for the
better had taken place. During the day
he has been conscious with few excep
tions, has recognized friends, and had
absolutely no return of the last sinking
spells. The house has been besieged to
day with callers and many pedestrians
antl carriages have turned into Rhode
Island avenue, passing the general's
house. While there is no expectation that
General Sheridan will recover permanent
ly from the attack from which he has
been suffering, some hopes are held out
tonight that he will rally sufficiently from
the attack under favorable conditions to
be once more up and about. "His career,
however," said one of the physicians in
tittendance, "has ended, and whatever
the present results may be they cannot be
very long delayed."
Troops Sent to Oelrichs.
CiiAimoN, Neb., May 29. The Indian
scare at Oelrichs. Dak., has been made so
much of that today a troop of cavalry
under Captain Hughes left Fort Robinsen
en route for that place. Calls had been
been made upon governor of Dakota for
troops but today they were countermand
ed. There is a large emigration pouring
into the country expected to be open for
settlement and they are denied admission
to the reservation and if they get into the
reservation are notiiied to at once depart.
Fort Robinson, Neb., May 29. Two
troops of the ninth cayalry were ordered
out today by the department commander
to go to Oelrichs, Dak., to investigate
the reported Indian outbreak. Every
thing is quiet. The excitement was caus
ed by a hunting party under Little Chief,
of the Cheyenues.
Rapid City, Dak., May 29. The In
dian scare at Oelrichs has subsided, and
settlers who stampeded have returned to
their homes ashamed of the fright they
exhibted. No danger ever existed, and
the alarming reports sent out from there
were wholly unwarranted by the tacts.
Colonel Thornby's request for two hun
dred stand of arms from Bismarck
will be disregarded. Not a little sport
has been made of the people who allowed
their timidity to get the better of their
judgement. Parties who have come into
this place from along the Cheyenne river
bring no news of the Indians whatever.
All is quiet as far as can be learned, and
no more danger of an outbreak exists
now than at any time for years.
Nehawka-
Things look very well here at preset.t.
The corn is all planted and the late rains
are bringing it up nicely.
There was quite a hostile feeling among
the young men last Friday toward a Mr.
Herd Min ford, who persuaded Miss Mar
tie Carroll to change her name to Min
ford. Some of the boys say if they had
known she wasn't satisfied with her for
mer name, they would have cheerfully
invited her to assume their's. The trans
fer took place Friday, at 3 o'clock p. m.
May their joys be as deep H3 the ocean,
thiir sorrows as light as the foam.
Mr. John Murdock has been investing
in sheep ,we believe he has a herd of
two. When he brought them home, one
of his little girls exclaimed: "Oh
ain't they got lots of cotton on them."
We hope he will increase his cotton plan
tation as we are fond of the herb.

The Methodist genearal conference has
declared unequivocally in favor of
"comp'ete legal prohibition" as the pro

advise all pqlitiehjns, wh,o wjsh c

contracts they have made with the saloons
for the coming campaign, and begin to
ltt it be understood that they are not so
violently opposed to "sumtoary legisla-

NVither mind nor body can act hcalt! -fully,
if the blood is vitiated. Cleanse
the vital current from impurities by the
use of Ayer's Sarsaparilla. This remedy
purifies the blood, recruits the wasted en
ergies, and restores health to the debili
tated system.
Oyaters at l'eetlintr 'l ima.
Oysters cannot be kept without a
knowledge of their habits. They feed
twice in a day of twenty-four hours, and
then just at that stillness preceding the
turn of the tide. At no other time, ex
cept when feeding, do they open their
mouths. When taken out of the water
they naturally attempt to feed at regular
intervals, and as soon as their mouths
are open the liquor is all lost, the air
takes its place, and the oyster is covered
with a thick coating of slime. This is
the first stage of decomposition, after
which the ovster is of no account. Scat
tie (W. T.) Post-Intelligencer.
Eczema causes an itchiDg so persistent
as to produce not only sleeplessness, but,
at times, even delirium. Local applica
tions will not remove the cause, which is
impure bleiod. Ayer's Sarsaparilla cures
this disease by cleansing the blooel anel
eradicating all humors.
