H.VSDSHIPS OF AHMY LIFE.
The body of an infant child was found
In the road ten miles south of Coweta
by Mrs. J. G. Seagraves and her daugh-
ter. The body had been partially eaten
by dogs. There was no clew to its iden-
tity and what remained of the body was
buried at the roadside. The neighbor-
hood is deeply stirred over the incident
and an investigation has been started.
A. E. Gunn. an Okeene banker, has
been appointed postmaster there, to suc-

Mr. Martin says: j
"I think I have j
had kidney dis- j
ease ever since
the war. During
an engagement
my horse fell on
me, straining my
back and injuring
the kidneys. I have been told I had a
floating kidney. I had intense pain in
the back, headaches and dizzy spells
and the action of the bladder was very
irregular. About three years ago I
tried Doan's Kidney Pills, and found
such great relief that I continued, and
inside a comparatively short time was
entirely rid of kidney trouble."

Hardly What He Wanted.
Albert Douglas, who will succeed
Congressman Grosvenor of Ohio in the
next house, is not weighted down with
worldly goods, and was rather startled
by an experience he had while looking
around Washington for quarters. At
one of the good hotels he was shown
a suite consisting of bedroom, parlor
and bathroom. On inquiring the
monthly rent he was informed "only
$1,000 for yourself and wife." Recov-
ering his breath, which he managed to
do without showing a tithe of his as-
tonishment, he said with great calm-
ness, "I'll write my wife all about the
rooms and let her know beforehand
what comforts we shall have when we
come here to live. So until I hear
from her you need not mark me for
this suite. She may think from the
price that your hotel is not the kind
we ought to live in."

FATHER AND MOTHER HELD
Suspicious Circumstances Surrounding
Death of Their Children
MUSKOGEE: George Robertson, a ne-
gro, is being held at the federal jail
in this city pending an investigation
of the death of two of his children,
supposed to have been burned to death
in a fire which destroyed the negro's
home. When the lire department arrived
Robertson and hla wife told th<i chicf
that the children were In a certain room
but the fire wes burniVg too fiercely at
that time to get them out.
An examination of the bodies, charred
to an extent that made It Impossible to
distinguish their features, showed marks
on the heads of both the boy and girl.
The marks cannot be accounted for, as
the wall where the childrer's bed stood
did not fall In. The negro and his wife,
according to their story, slept in an ad-
joining room. Both say they were awak-
ened by smoke and ran out of the house
THEIR SALARIES VARY
Amounts Paid Marshals and Attorneys
In Different Dlsrticts
WASHINGTON: There is a good deal
of misunderstanding concerning the sal-
aries paid United States marshals and
attorneys. This is brought out by the
bill introduced by Senator Long to read-
just transfer of court records in the new
state of Oklahoma, which, among other
things, provides that the salaries of mar-
shals and attorneys shall be $5,000 each.
The comment of nearly every one includ-
ing legislators, was that there was a
general statute fixing the salary of these
officers at $f>,000. This Is not the case.
Their salaries vary from $3,500 to $5,000
in various states and districts of the
country. In Kansas, the attorney, H. J.
Bone, receives $4,500 per annum; the
marshal, W. H. Mackey, Jr., $4,000. Tn
Missouri, both western and eastern dis-
tricts, the attorneys receive $4,500 and
the marshals $4,000.
In the territory of Oklahoma both at-
torney and marshal receive $5,000. In
Indian Territory both officers receive
$4,000 each. But Senator Eong would
fixe the compensation at $5,000 each
In the districts of the new state .

Suffered Three Years—Physicians Did
No Good—Perfectly Well After
Using Cuticura Remedies.
"I take great pleasure in informing
you that I was a sufferer of eczema in
a very bad form for the past three
years. I consulted and treated with
a number of physicians in Chicago,
but to no avail. I commenced using
the Cuticura Remedies, consisting of
Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Pills,
three months ago, and to-day I am
prefectly well, the disease having left
me entirely. I cannot recommend
the Cuticura Remedies too highly to
any one suffering with the disease
that I have had. Mrs. Florence E.
Atwood, 18 Crilly Place, Chicago, 111.,
October 2, 1905. Witness: L. S.
Berger."

Demand for Cocoanut Meat.
For the year ending June 30, 1906,
the exports of copra (dried cocoanut
meat) from the Philippine islands
amounted to 145,851,913 pounds, of
which France took 88,33G,350 pounds,
or about 61 per cent. The next most
important buyers were Spain and Ger-
many.
"It Knocks the Itch."
It may not cure all your Ills, but
it does cure one of the worst. It
cures any form of itch known—no mat-
ter what it's called, where the sensa-
tion is "itch," it knocks it. Eczema,
ringworms, are cured by one box. It's
guaranteed, and its name is Hunt's
Cure.
Products from Pine.
In 1905 the pine distilling establish-
ments in the United States numbered
15; the wood distilled amounted to
10,969 cords, valued at $42,805, and the
output was as follows: 362,500 gallons
of tar, 434,780 gallons of oil, 238,180
gallons of turpentine and 300,106 bush-
els of charcoal.

SUITS ARE DISMISSED

Mt'HKOGEE: Special Agent William
E. Johnston received word to the effcct
that two damage suits. In which dam-
ages to the extent of $150,000 was asked
by Harry S. Kohn, as genernl agent for
the Pallas brewery, have been dismiss-
ed. The suits grew out of the destruc-
tion of a large quantity nf second brew
beer by "Whisky" Johnson. A case

ery which was brought by the dlBtrlrt

Destruction of Fleas.
The Agricultural Research institute
of Bengal has concluded a series of
scientific experiments to determine
the best method of destroying fleas,
the investigation having special ref-
erence to checking the ravages of the
plague.
The formula recommended is the
free use of crude oil emulsion—80 per
cent, of crude petroleum mixed with
20 per cent, of whale oil soap. This
combination makes a jelly which
mixes freely with water, and is gen-
erally used at three per cent, solution,
while at 16 per cent, it destroys all
fleas with perfect certainty. It is ap-
plied to floors and walls with a
sprayer.
It is said that an animal washed
with it will be entirely relieved of the
pests.
Good Type of New Woman.
One of the youngest assistants ever
appointed by Vassar college is Miss
Corliss Babson, who also has the dis-
tinction of being the champion woman
high jumper. Miss Babson was re-
cently appointed assistant to Presi-
dent Taylor. A graduate of the class
of 1905, Miss Babson made her wond-
erful jumping record in the class
games of 1904, when she cleared the
bar at four feet two and one-half
Inches, a full inch above the best pre-
vious record by a woman. Excellence
in athletics, however, is not Miss Bab-
son's only forte, for she secured the
prize for the best class poem two
years in succession.
A FRIEND'S TIP.
70-Year-0!d Man Not too Old to Accept
a Food Pointer.
"For the last 20 years," writes
Maine man, "I've been troubled with
Dyspepsia and liver complaint, and
have tried about every known remedy
without much In the way of results
until I took up the food question.
"A friend recommended Grape-Nuts
food, after I had taken all sorts of
medicines with only occasional, tem-
porary relief.
"This was about nine months ago,
and'I began the Grape-Nuts for break-
fast with cream and a little sugar.
Since then I have had the food for at
least one meal a day, usually for
breakfast.
"Words fail to express the benefit I
received from the use of Grape-Nuts.
My stomach Is almost entirely free
from pain and my liver complaint is
about cured, I have gained flesh, sleep
well can eat nearly any kind of food
except greasy, starchy things and am
Btrong and healthy at the age of 70
years.
"If I can be the means of helping
any poor mortal who has been trou-
bled with dyspepsia as I have been, I
am willing to answer any letter enclos-
ing stamp." Name given by Postum
Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Read the lit-
tle book, "The Road to Wellville," In
pkgs. "There's a Reason."
With a smooth iron and Defiance
Starch, you can launder your shirt-
waist just as well at home as the
steam laundry can; it will have the
proper stiffness and finish, there will
be less wear and tear of the goods,
and it will be a positive pleasure to
use a Starch that does not stick to the
iron.
Germany's Beet Sugar.
The production of beet sugar in the
German empire in 1906 is estimated
by the International Sugar Statistical
association to be 2,157,200 metric tons
(2,204.6 pounds each), against 2,394.-
445 metric tons in 1905, a loss of
nearly ten per cent. Austria-Hungary's
beet sugar crop is 11 per cent, short.
Don't Be Irritable.
"An irritated skin makes an Irritable
person, and an irritable person gath-
ers muoh trouble unto himself or her-
self, as the case may be. Moral: Use
Hunt's Cure, one box of which is ab-
solutely and unqualifiedly guaranteed
to cure any form of skin trouble. Any
kind of itching known is relieved at
once and one box cures."
"I am not feeling very well," "I
am so nervous it seems as though I
should fly." "My back aches ;ls though
it would break."
IIow often do you hear these signi-
ficant expressions from women
friends. More than likely you speak
the same words yourself, and there
is a cause.
More than thirty years ag-o Lydia
E Pinkham of Lynn, Mass. discovered
the source of nearly nil the suffering
endured by her sex. "Woman's Ills,"
these two words are full of more
misery to women than any other two
words that can be found in the
Euglish language. Sudden fainting,
depression of spirits, reluctance to
go anywhere, backaches, headaches,
nervousness, sleeplessness, bearing-
down sensations, displacements and
irregularities are the bane of woman s
existence.
The same woman who discovered
the cause of all this misery also
discovered a remedy. Lydia E. Pink-
ham's Vegetable Compound made
from native roots and herbs holds
the record for a greater number of
absolute cures of female ills than any
other one remedy the world has ever
known and it is the greatest blessing
which ever came into tho lives of
suffering women.
Don't trv to endure, but cure the
cause of all your suffering. Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound ^ at
once removes such troubles. The
following letters prove this :
FORD
Mrs. W. S. Ford of 1938 Lansdowne
St., Baltimore, Md. writes :
Dear Mrs. Pinkbam;—
' For four years my life was a misery to
me. I suffered from irregularities, sup-
pression, terrible dragging sensations ami
extreme nervousness. I bad given up all
hope of over being well again when Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound was
recommended. It cured my weakness and
made me well and strong."
Miss Grace E. Miller, of 1213 Michi-
gan St., Buffalo, N. Y. writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham :—
"I was in a very bad condition of health
generally; irritable, cross, backache and
suffered from a feminine weakness. Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, eared
me after all other medicines had failed."
What Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound did for Mrs. Ford and
Miss Miller it will do for other women
in like condition. Every suffering
woman in the United States is asked
to accept the following invitation. It
is free, will bring you health and may
save your life.
Mrs. Pinkham's Invitation to Women.
Women suffering from any form of
female weakness are invited to
promptly communicate with Mrs.
Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass. From tho
symptoms given, the trouble may be
located and the quickest and surest
way of recovery advised. Out of her
vast volume of experience in treating
female ills Mrs. Pinkham probably
has the very knowledge that will
help your case. Her advice is free
and always helpful.
Poetess Highly Honored.
Mile. Andre Corthls, whose poems In
the volume entitled "Gemmes et
Moires" have won high praise, has
been chosen poet laureate of France
for the year past. The honor is cue
conferred annually by a vote of emi-
nent literary people on the most dis-
tinguished poet of the year. Mile.
Corthis is still a young woman.
Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear-
ing quality of the goods. This trouble
can be entirely overcome by using De-
fiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great-
er strength thai* other makes.
Disease Puzzles Doctors.
A mysterious disease is troubling
the Dutch medical profession. It has
broken out in the district of Ouddorp,
not far from Utrecht, and Prof.
Spronck, of Utrecht, after all the best
efforts he can devise, has had to con-
fess himself perplexed. The disease
is a contagious affection of the heart,
and the patients invariably develop
tygh fever. There have been more
than 100 cases. Prof. Spronck has
made a careful anlysis of blood taken
from patients, but has utterly failed
to find a cause or an origin for the
epidemic.
do 1 take Cardui"? writes Mrs.
Jelemma Mullins of Odessa, W.
Va. "Because, after suffering
for several years with female
trouble, and trying different doc-
tors and medicines without obtaining relief, 1 at last
found, in Wine of Cardui, a golden medicine for all my
ills, and can recommend it above all others for female
complaints."
Cardui furnishes safe relief for backache, headache,
periodical pains, irregular, painful or unhealthy cata-
menial flow, and all ailments from which sick women
suffer. A perfect tonic for delicate women. A pure
vegetable medicine for girls and women who are subject
