his party ho will undortako such a prose
cution In his own namn, C-ovornor Poyntcr
has not conferred with hli constituents rela

any prospect for keeping a republican but
of office.
"I don't enro to cay what course the com

had been secured the robbers hurriedly left

stoner Johnson and his deputies arrived
at Hide last night and proceeded to Meeker
by stngo today. It Is a forty-llvo mllo rldo
and will roqulro tho cntlro dny. While
tho commissioner was hero ho received re
pot ts from ranchmen, which Indicate that
the slaughter of gamo has been, unpre
cotlotitcd In tho history of tho state. Old
timers In this country predict trouble with
the Indians before thoy aro finally removed
to their reservations.
DENVER, Colo., Nov. 26. Adjutant Gen
eral Ovcrmoycr today wired troop A,
cavalry, at Grand Junction to bo In readi
ness for an Immediate call, In caso Gnmo
Commissioner Johnson's forco should .not
bo equal to tho Indians In tho White river
district. This troop la known as "Over-
meyor's Rough Riders" and Is mado up
of pioneers, cowboys and crack shots, of
tho western slope. There are sixty men
in tho troop nnd General Ovcrmeyer
shipped forty saddles, bridles, cinches nnd
ammunition for a two weeks' Indian raid
through the tnouutnlns. This troop of
cavalry Is much closer tho sccno of the
Indian depredations than the Denver troops
nnd could bo on tho ground within twenty-
four hours from receipt of notlco to start.
Fear Is expressed at tho cupltol that Com
missioner Johnson will mako tho attack
upon tho Indians against overwhelming
odds.

ar cnot making tho troublo this year, but
tho Whlto Rivers, who onco occupied the
torrltory which they havo tnvndcd. in
tho past tho Indian agents havo kept tho
Whlto Rivers on tho reservation because
of tho bitter feeling of tho trlbo toward
tho whites, who, thoy claim, took posses
sion of lands belonging to them without
right or treaty.
It is reported that even a larger number
of Indiana than tho C00 previously reported
havo left tho reservation and aro slaughter
ing hundreds of deer In tho vlclntly of ths
Yama and Whlto rivers.
Commissioner Johnson will station pick
ets at the Btato line to prevent tho passing
of tho Indian pack trains with their tons
of plunder from tho state. Ho Is deter
mined to arrest some of the Indians with
gamo In their possession, If posslblo, In
order to have tho laws regarding Indian
raids tested.
This afternoon Governor Thomas re
ceived a communication from Secretary of
tho Interior Hitchcock, at Washington,
stating In substance that tho department
had sent Its Indian agent to scour north
western Colorado for marauding Indians,
but had failed to find ono. There was a
hint In tho communication thnt this would
officially end tho correspondence so far as
tho government was concerned.
Instead of pacifying the governor, It had
a tendency to make him moro vigorous in
hla application of tho stnto law.
Ho claims to have a dozen reports rrom
ns many different men on file, proving con
clusively that tho Indians have slaughtered
over BOO deer In Routt and Rio Blanco
counties .

FORT YATES, N. D., Nov. 26. The In

condition is pitiable, their crops wero a
total failure- and their rations are Just
enough to keep thom alive. The reserva

ing and the Indians can ncvor support them
selves by farming. As for labor, thero Is
absolutely nothing for thom to do. White
men can got all the whlto labor thoy
want, and on the reservation, outside of
govornmont freighting, there Is nothing
to do.

f You
Well
If yoti have nny of the
fo lowing symptoms,
take warning at once:
Is your appetite poor
or changeable, diges
tion poor, fullness in
stomach, belching of
gas, vomiting sour
liquid and partly di
gested food, pain and.
soreness at pit of
stomach, drowsiness
after meals, wn kef ill
ness and headache,
absence of mental
vigor, defective mem
ory, palpitation of the
heart, loss of flesh,
nervo usiicss, cold
feet and hands, bad
breath, white and
brown coating on the
tongue, night sweats,
remember nature is
trying to warn you of
the approach of dys
pepsia. If allowed to
become chronic, dys
pepsia is oue of the
most distressing dis
diseases to which
mankind is heir. Dr.
Kay's Renovator acts
directly upon the mu
cous membrane.
Patching up with pep
sin and other drugs
for temporary relief
is only opening the
way for a general
breuk down.
Dr. Kay's
Renovator
goes to tne founda
tion. It brings the
digestive organs to a
natural state, when
they can act as the
creator intended
them to act. It reno
vates the whole sys
tem. It purifies and
enriches the blood.
Read what W. II. Roberts, for
years cashier of the Citizen's
Bank of Omaha, says: t!l slept
poorly and was in a terrible
condition. I took Dr. Kay's
Renovator and found it to be
the best remedy-1 ever used. I
took no other medicine and in a
short time gained forty pounds.
I am now in excellent health.
I found this medicine most
pleasant; no griping, no sick
ness at the stomach, but a com
plete renovator. I voluntarily
recommend it to anyone who
has Indigestion. I now sleep
well, eat well and am free from
cold hands and feet. In my
family I rely on Dr. Kay's Ren
ovator for biliousness, constipa
tion, indigestion or any disturb
ance of the digestive organs. It
renovates and regulates the syB"
tern and never leaves any evil
effects. I seldom need to tako
the Renovator now, but I think
a few doses taken occasionally
when I feel the slightest signs
of any disturbance have been of
great value to me in keeping mo
in the best of health. One 25c
box will convince anyone that
it surpasses the whole train of
pills and cathartics usually
taken."
Don't take any substitute that anybody
tells you Is Just aa good, for it positively
has no equal. If you can't get it at drug
gists, send tho prlco direct to Dr. U. J.
Kay Medical Co,, Saratoga Springe, N. Y
and it will bo sent propald by return mall.
Also ask for free, advice, free sample and
free book. Dr. Kay's Renovator is sold for
:5c and $1.00.
