Register and Receiver:
Sirs : You letter of February 27th ult.
has been received. In reply you are ad
vised that claimants under the 3d sec
tion of the act of September 29, 1890, if
they belong to either of the classes
therein provided for, have two years
from the date of the promulgation by
this office of the instructions for the
restoration of the forfeited lands within
which to make their purchase. The
presentation of a notice of intention to pur
chase under said section will not, however,
reserve the land from disposal. No such
notice is required to protect the rights of
such claimants. The law gives them the
right of purchase within the time speci
fied and any disposal of the lands must
be made subject to that right.

And the flowers that grows between."

Is Disease a FnnishmentT
The following advertisement, published
by a prominent western patent medicine
house would indicate that they regard
disease as a punishment for sin :
Do you wish to know the quickest
way to cure a severe cold? We will tell
vou. To cure a cold quickly, it must be
treated before the cold has become settled
in the system. This can alwavs be done
if you choose to, as 'nature in her kind
ness to man gives timely warning and
plainly tells you in nature's way, that as
a punishment for some indiscretion, you
are to be afflicted with a cold unless vou
choose to ward it off bv nronint action
The first symptoms of a cold, in most
cases, is a dry, lond cough and sneezing.
The cough is soon followed by a profuse
watery expectoration and the sneezing
by a profuse watery discharge from the
nbse. In severe "cases there is a thin
white coating on the tongue. What to
do? It is onlv necessary to take Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy in double doses
every hour. That will greatly lessen the
severity of the cold and in most cases
will effectually counteract it, and cure
what would have been a severe cold with
in one or two days time. Try it and be
convinced." 50 cent bottles" for sale by
