The Gordon Journal of last week con tains an account of circumstances relat ing to a gentleman of the cloth some what out of the ordinary. The Journal says : "Rev. Wyckham , the Christian minister who conducted meet ings in Gordon last summer , and .whom all our people will remember on account of the unfortunate ending of his career in Gordon , is now engaged as superin tendent of u largo poultry packing honse ' in Lincoln. When ho left Gordon for , Lincoln ho was trnely an object of pity. He was completely crazed by a bnrning thirst for liquor. His friends took him in hand and ho took medical treatment for the liquor and morphine habits and is now completely cured of both habits. He is in excollaut health aud has gained In flesh over twenty pounds. Mr. Wyckham is a man of bright intellect and has many friends in Gordon who will bo pleased to learn that ho has tri umphed over the liquor habit and is clad in his sober mind again.1 ' Press dispatches state that Attorney J.

Congressman Robinson.hav ing been notified by some of the Indian allottees whose lands would be affected by thb condemnation proceedingscalled upon the department of Indian affairs to ascertain what steps would be taken by the department to protect the rights of the Indians whoso'lands would be af fected. The plan proposed by the de partment is that a man will be desig nated by the department for this pur pose , probably the Indian agent , who , together with one man appointed by the railway company and a third selected by these two , will appraise the land to be condemned and their .findings will then bo submitted to' the secrbtary for h'is actlbn1. It the Secretary approves of' ' the findings of the appraisers the tall- way will bo directed bV the government to'pdy the damages direct'to the' ' Indian through the Indian agent. There 'seems to bo no'objection on the part'of thbIu- diafajf affected by the proposed plan , and ( unless something should develop in the fatrure in the nature bf an objection from the Indian allottees the above plan will probably bo carried' 6ut by th6 de partment. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ All Day Long you may have comparative comfort until laughter , reading aloud or nervous excitement brings on that fit of cough ing which racks you until your very 'bones uouo.
