WILL HELP
Government To Faruish
Pomp For Danean Miners
Stops have been taken by Got. Mc
Ion?s look ng to the ope nng of Duncin
creeir, in the Stewart river section.
The government will furnish a pump
^ and other equipment if the miners will
combine and crosscut the creek at some
one point. Duncan long has been re
puted to be a rich creek, but It has
been impossible to get down to bedrock
there becau-e of the great amount of
seepage water there that flows in the
?hafts and the tunnels and drowns out
the men.
The work of cross-cutting the stream
to prove its value has been too costly
an undertaking for one or two miners,
and the government now proposes to
concentrate energy, if possible, and
thus hasten development.
The governor states that if an agree
ment can be reached with the owners
on Duncan the government will be
wil ing to haul the necessary plant to
Duncan this winter over the ice. This
? wilt mean a haul of about 2 20 miles.

Men and Women Vmnlmoia About It.
Many women weep and wail and refuse
to be comforted because their once mag
nificent tresses have become thin and
faded. Many men incline to profanity
because the files bite through the thin
thatch on their craniums. It will be good
news to the miserable of both sexes, to
learn that N'ewbro's Herplcide has been
placed upon the market. This Is the new
scalp germicide and antiseptic that acts
by destroying the germ or microbe that
Is the underlying cau.,e of all hair de

! T!:s Dignity of O'Rourke
\
[Copyright. 1SXJ6. by C. H. Sutclllto.]
II was one o i a hundred Instauces.
Wben the civil war cauie to an end at
.lot, lieutenants and captains who dt
-i .'ed to take up aruis as a profession
were willing to take positions as ser
goant3 in the standing army. That was
hjw Captain O'ltourke, late of the Sev
enty-first volunteers, came to be order
ly sergeant of Company F, Eleventh
I it! ted States Infantry.
As a captain of volunteers O'RourUe
was noted for two tilings lu particular
- tie was a tighter, and he was a uiau
of dignity. Within a week of his join
ing his regiment he was nicknamed
"Diguity," and the appellation stuck to
him to the day of his death. The nine
Other orderly sergeants in the Eleventh
were a bit familiar with tbeir lieuten
ants and captain, and now and then
they condescended to take a drink or
sit iu a game of poker with the pri
vates, but Sergeant O'Rourke never let
himself down. He was always the
same to every one, and It came to be
whispered about that If he should over
smile or crack a joke the United States
would at once proceed to dissolve In
thin air.
One day at Fort Reno word was re
ceived that the Indians had again tak
eu to the warpath and that there was
likelihood of a wandering band trying
to cut off a train of wagons coming up
with quartermaster supplies. There
was one point of danger. Once safely
passed that and the long string of wag
ons would be safe. Sergeant O'Rourke
was sitting lu his quarters studying tlie
book of tactics when tlie colonel's or
derly gave him a message. Three min
utes later he stood before his command
ing officer, and he had twice the dignity
of the man who looked up at him and
said:
"Sergeant, I have got word that
Crazy Horse has broken loose again."
"Yes, sir." replied the subordinate, as
he gave the military salute with the
greatest precision.
"Some of his men may attack the
wagon train coming up. If they do it
will be at St?ny brook. Do you think
you could take ten men and hold the
crossing against perhaps forty or fifty
Indians until the wagons have passed ?"
"Not a doubt qI it, sir."
There was a doubt of It In the colo
nel's mind, a very big doubt, but Just
then he had a larger sick list than
u ual and a number of his officers
were away ou leave. The outbreak
was so sudden that he was in a box.
lie ought to send thirty men under
cotninaud of a lieutenant to the polut
specified, but he had figured It over
and over, and the best he could do was
to send ten under command of the
orderly sergeant
"Yes, sir; very well, sir," replied
O'Rourke as he received his orders,
and half an hour later his squad was
marching down the rocky road.
It was eight miles to the crossing
of Stony brook. The men had left the
fort at 1 o'clock in the afternoon of a
summer's day. They saw no "signs"
en route. If the Indians had broken
loose again they were not skulking in
the vicinity of the fort. The men
stepped out on the rough military road
with marching stride, and in a little
over two hours they had reached the
crossing. All was as peaceful as If
a hostile Indian had never lived. Ser
geant O'Rourke saw smiles of derision
ou the faces of some of the men and
suddenly called out:
"Attention, squad! Right face! Left
face! Front! Listen! Some of you
men think the colonel was mistaken,
but you'll know better within ten min
utes. How many Indians there are In
hiding among the bowlders over there
I can't say, but this is no time for smil
ing. When I give the word make a
rush for the rocks at your right. We
are too late to save the train."
The ten men whirled to the right and
covered forty feet of ground and got
the shelter of the rocks. Sergeant
O'Rourke followed them at a leisurely
step, although the seventy Indians in
ambush within pistol shot gave him a
volley. He ought to have been riddled
like a sieve, but he was untouched.
There were no orders to give. The ten
had no show. They were safe In front,
but the Indians would work past their
flanks and take them in the rear with
in a quarter of an hour. To attempt a
retreat was to lose their cover and
court instant death.
"What are we golog to do. Barge?"
asked one of the squad after sending a
bullet Into the head of an Indian who
exposed himself in his anxiety to se
cure a good aim.
"Private Johnson," said O'Rourke as
he drew himself up stiffly, "I would
thank you to give my title in full
sergeant What we are going to do,
sir, is to die, sir. We have already
lost three men."
Two minutes later one of the eight
survivors came rushing up to say:
"The devils are working along on our
right flank, and this place will soon be
too hot to hold us!"
"Private Delaney, salute your supe
rior officer when you speak to him.
Your report is received, sir. About,
face! March!"
There could be only one ending. The
Indians worked forward on the flanks,
and when Sergeant O'Rourke looked
around him and saw that he alone lived
he stood up and folded his hands and
held his head high. The redskins
shrieked and shouted, and a dozen of
them came forward to lay bands on I
the prisoner. The first of them was ;
hardly ten feet away when Dignity !
thrust his hand into his Jafcket, pulled
out a derringer that none of bis men
had ever seen, and the next instant he
sank down among the other dead.
"Him chief? big chief!" muttered the
Indians as they came forward, and his
1 body was laid aside with respect, and
no hand ravaged It M. QUAD, g

MIRACULOUS CURE
BY CUTICURA REMEDIES
" When my little boy waa six months ola, ho

over the whole body that we at once called in
the doctor. We then
went to another doctor,
but he could not help
him, and in our despair
we went to a third one.
Matters became so bad
that he had regular
holes in his cheeks,
large enough to put a
finger into. The food
had to be given with a
spoon, for his mouth
waa covered with crusts
as thick as a finger, and
whenever he opened the
mouth they began to
bleed and suppurate, as
did also his eyes.
Hands, arms, chest, and
back, in short the whole
body, was covered over
and over. We had no
rest by day or night.
Whenever he was laid
in his bed, we had to
pin his hands down:

"We tinallv thought nothing could help,
and I had made up my mind to send my wife
with the child to Europe, hoping that the sea

put under good medical care there. But,

and we soon saw a miracle. A friend of ours
spoke about Cuticura. We made a trial with [
