builds up the whole system.
For various reasons humors are most quickly

WASHINGTON, March 28. (Special Tele
gram.) Representatives of the Omaha tribe
of Indians are desirous of coming to Wash
ington for the purpose of taking up with
the Secretary ot the interior the division ot
a portion of their trust fund, for the Im
provement of their land. The Indians had
a conference with Senator Millard last sum
mer looking Into this matter. They were
given to understand that the senator would
do everything In bla power to bring about
such a division. Not content with this,
however, they now make application to the
senator to intercede for them with tbe
commissioner of Indian affairs to secure hi
permission to come to Washington and pre
sent their case In person.
In view of this request the senator has
takea up the matter with the commissioner
ot Indian affaire, but has been Informed
tbat the commissioner, thoroughly under
standing the situation and being In favor
Of a certain portion of the funde being set
aslds for their benefit, does not look with
any great favor upon their presence here.
Senator Millard has Informed the Indians
tbat he will do everything In his power to
pass the legislation needed to divert a
portion of the funds which la now In the
treasury to the credit of the Omaha tribe,
and early next week will Introduce a bill
to carry out tbe desires of the Indians.
Consrresaman Robinson Measure.
Congressman Robinson today Introduced
a bill authorizing the secretary of the treas
ury to pay to the Omaha tribe of Indians
$100,000 out ot the money which said tribe
of Indians may have to its credit in the
treasury for Improvements on ths reserva
tion In Nebraska.
According to a letter which Commissioner
Jones has written to Congressman Robinson
concerning the amount of money which Is
held In trust by tbe treasury for tbe bene
fit of tbe Omaha tribe ot Indiana, there ap
pears to be In round numbers $470,000 to the
Omahaa' credit. Leading Indiana ot the
Omaha tribe desire to have set apart $100,
000 ot this amount to their credit to be
spent for Improvement of their lands and
the purchase of stock. According to the
last enumeration there are 1,203 Indians In
eluded In the Omaha tribe.
Commissioner Jones is In favor of this
proposition, and has expressed himself em
phatically in his letter. He says he be
lieves tbe time has arrived when those In
dians capable of managing their own af
fairs should be permitted to do so, and as
the Omaha Jndlans occupy their own farms
and are keeping up their homes Ibey should
be given all reasonable opportunity to work
out their own future.
Banters Want Better Land.
Congressman Robinson has received a pe
tition from a number of Ssntee Indians re
questing Information as to whether these
Indiana have a right to take homeateads
the same aa other citizens of the United
States. The Indians are anxloua to know
whether this right has ever been allowed
to any Indian trlbea In the past. Tbe pe
tition states that allotment In severalty
were mad to the Santee Indiana In 188S,
at which time the Indians signing the pe
tition were little boys, that their parents
selectedallotments for them for their own
convenlenee, for pastursge and timber pur
poses, and not fit for farming, and that
these allotments are almost useless. The
question the Indiana wish decided is
whether they can relinquish their title lo
these allotted landa or retain their allot
ments and still have the right of taking
bomeBtsads. It la their desire to take home
ateads on tbe Rosebud Indian reservation
In South Dakota, when those lands are open
for settlement.
It was represented to the jdepartment
that the Santee Indiana were cltizena of
Nebraaka in everv aense of the word, but
that under the treaty arrangement they
could not alienate their landa for soma
tims to come. Tbe Indians above referred
to who desire to take new lands under ths
homestead law ask tbe ruling of the Indian
office upon their right to take lands In

the secretary of the Interior will rule that
there la no legal objection to their exer
cising the right of homestead entry.

A PIONEER PASTOR
TELLS OF A TIME THAT TRIED
1119 NERVES.
The Her. Henry- J. Ilnstnn of the Rock
Hlver C'oefrretioe Haa Carried the
RIHe as Well as the Bible.
For twenty-two years the Rev. Henry J.
Huston has worked In the Rock River con
ference of the Methodist church. Now a
man ot peace, his lifo story la a thrilling
one, at least from the time he entered the
union army as a member of Company F,
Fifteenth Illinois Volunteer. Colorado in
the early seventies was not tbe well gov
erned commonwealth that It Is today, but It
Is his military life that this pioneer clergy
man recalls most vividly. He consented
to tell a reporter something about himself
recently and in the course ot the Interview
said:
"When I entered the army, Id Company F,
Fifteenth Illinois regiment, I was In per
fect health, but the exposure and hard
ships entailed In the service brought on a
chronic diarrhoea. Thla caused great
weakness, but in addition to that, In 18!5,
I had necrosis of the lower Jaw, and tho
suffering produced extreme nervousness.
"After the necrosis had left me my
nerves were still suffering from the shock.
I had severe pains la my heart, so acute
that I could not rest at night. I was also
subject to fainting spells snd sometimes
would remain unconscious for more than
an hour. My strength and nerve power
were at a low ebb, my blood like water,
my complexion white and waxen looking,
my ears colorless and almost . transparent,
and whenever I undertook the least exer
tion I became short ot breath.
"My wife and her sister, had both been
benefited by Dr. William' rink Pills for
Pale People, and finally X . determined to
try this medicine myself. I cannot ssy
Just how long I had been taking these pills
before I discovered I waa being helped, but
It was not long. I soon found the pain in
my heart bad left ma and I could aleep at
night. I have had no more fainting spells
and my color Is better. . Dr. William'
Pink Pills for Pale People have done won
ders for me and I take pleasure In recom
mending them. They helped me when
other remedies failed."
The Rev. Mr. Huston Is now pastor of the
Methodist Episcopal church at Elizabeth,
Elbert county, Colorado. His endorsement
aa give above means that he has given Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills a thorough test and
found them worthy of recommendation.
Not only have nlRny cases similar to Ms
been cured by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for
Pale People, hut equally wonderful results
have been accomplished by them In a large
number of diseases arising from thin blood
or shattered nerves, two fruitful causes of
almost every lit td which flesh Is heir.
They are a positive euro for such dlseasea
as locomotor1 ataxia, partial paralysis', St.
Vitus' dance, sciatica, neuralgia, rheuma
tism, nervous headache, the after-effects ot
grip, palpitation of the heart, pale and sal
low complexions and all forms ot weskness
either in male' or fomale. ' Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills for Pale People are also a spe
cific for troubles peculiar to females. In
men they effect a radical cure In all cases
arising from worry, overwork or excessea
of whatever nature.. Dr. Williams' Pink
Pilla are sold In boxes (never in loose bulk)
at fifty centa a box or six boxes for two
dollars and fifty cents, and may be had ot
all druggists or direct by mall from Dr.
