Insist on Getting It
Borne grocers say they don't keep
Defiance Htarch. This is because thej
have a stock on hand of other brands
containing only 12 oz In a package,
which they won't be able to sell first,
because Defiance contains 16 oz. for
the same money.
Do you want 16 oz. Instead of 12 oz.
for same money? Then buy Defiance

Doctors and Rural Telephones
"Doctors don't like the rural tele-
phone," says the Alton Democrat. "It
causes people to delay calling them
until the last minute. As many ail-
ments are worse in the evening It in-
creases the doctor's night calls In-
stead of coming in after him and re-
turning him, folks telephone and he
has to use his own hovseflesh to make
the call. The old way was to tell
the doctor to come back the next day
and see the patient. Now he is told
that he will be telephoned if needed.
The doctors even complain that folks
want absent treatment by telephone.
They give the doctor their symptoms
and ask him to prescribe. One doc-
tor says he has even had them hold
the baby up to the 'phone so he
could hear it cough."

fare; Howard Sankadotle and Jimmle
Quarton. All ef these men are preach-
ing the gospel regularly among the
Indian tribes of the southwest, and
they have wide reputations as leaders
among their people.
A Big Draining Project
It is proposed to reclaim the ever-
glades, the great and practically un-
explored region of Florida. The region
contains about three million acres,
and has never been thoroughly ex-
plored, though excursions have been
made through it. It is believed the
land would be very valuable if it were
drained. A company has been formed
to undertake the work, and a mes-
sage in regard to the matter is ex-
pected front Governor Broward to the
Florida legislature. At present the
state receives no revenue whatever
from the region, while if the ever-
glades were drained and a portion of
the region put under cultivation the
additional tax return would probably
be large.
L. W. Hines, Proprietor of Maud
Hotel—Mrs. Hines and Son Were
Leaving Town When the Woman's
Husband Interfered
OKLAHOMA CITY: Word has
reached this city of the killing of L.
\V. llines of the Maud hotel by his
stepson, Len Flynn, eighteen years
old. For a month or more Hines
had been quarreling with his wife
and the boy. Lately he had taken
to drinking, which made matters
worse. He had at different times
threatened to kill both his wife and
her son, and they decided to leave
him. They went to the depot to
take a train for Kanawa, and were
followed by Hines, who was very
much intoxicated, and attempted to
prevent the mother and son leaving.
After several attempts, Mrs. Hines
succeeded iu boarding the train. The
boy was about to follow her when
Illncs assaulted him with an
umbrella. Young Flynn drew a re-
volver from his pocket and shot him.
The train was moving at the. time
and the boy boarded it. When Flynn
and his mother reached Konawa the
boy telephoned the sheriff of what
had hapepned, and requested the of-
ficer to place liim under arrest.
Hines was about forty-two years of
age.
Carl Bentley, aged 16 years, of
Oklahoma City, entered a plea of
guilty to the charge of attempted
criminal assault on a ten-year-old
girl. He was sentenced to serve
eighteen month in the penitentiary.
Wynnewood will soon have electric
lights and waterworks, if the present
plans do'not miscarry. An expert is
expected this week to advise in the
matter. At present the city has
neither fire protection nor public
lights.
The board of education of Mus-
kogee has asketl the city council to
call an election for the purpose of
voting $75,000 in bonds for school
buildings, but the town has grown so
fast that the buildings provided for

the children.

A Doctor's Talk on Food.
There are no fairer set of men on
earth than the doctors, and when they
find they have been in error they are
usually apt to make honest and) man-
ly confession of the fact.
A case in point is that of an emi-
nent practitioner, one of the good
old school, who lives in Texas. His
plain, unvarnished tale needs n
dressing up:
"I had always had an intense preju-
dice, which I can now see was un-
warrantable and unreasonable, against
all muchly advertised foods. Hence,
I never read a line of the many 'ads.'
of Grape-Nuts, nor tested the food till
last winter.
"While In Corpus Christl for my
health, and visiting my youngest son,
who has four of the ruddiest, health-
iest little boys I ever saw. I ate my
first dish of Orape-Nuts food for
supper with my little grand-
sons. I became exceedingly fond
of Jt and have eaten a pack-
age of It every week since, and find it
a delicious, refreshing and strengthen-
ing food, leaving no ill effects whatever,
causing no eructations (with which I
was formerly much troubled), no
sense of fullness, nausea, nor distress
of stomach in any way.
"There is no other food that agrees
with me so well1, or sits as lightly or
pleasantly upon my stomach as this
does. I am stronger and more active
since I began the use of Grape-Nuts
than I have been for 10 years, and am
no longer troubled with nausea and
Indigestion." Name given by Postum
Co., Batkle Creek, Mich.

WARDEN JEWETT FILES ANSWER
Issue Joined in Refinery Bcr.ds Man-
damus Proceedings
TOPEKA: Mulvane & Gaulf, rep-
resenting Warden Jewett of the state
penitentiary, have filed an answer to
the mandamus proceedings instituted
against the warden and state treasur-
er to comptl them to issue the state
oil refinery bonds.
#The answer sets forth that the or.
refinery law is unconstitutional, for a
number of reasons, as follows:
That it does not directly appropri-
ate the taxes which are provided for.
That it creates a public debt which
is not a public improvement or an ex-
pense of government.
That it makes the state a party to
a work of internal improvement.
That it does not limit the life of
the appropriation.
That it is against the fourteenth
amendment to the federal constitu-
tion. in that it interferes with private
business.
That it deprives citizens of the
right to engage in private industry
by enabling the state to monopolize
that industry.
That the branch penitentiary is
only a subterfuge, and that the real
object of the law i. to build the oil
refinery.
Gleed, Ware & Gleed represent
Treasurer Kelly. They have already
filed Kelly's answer.
STRIKE ON SANTA FC
Boilermakers Go Out, But Placo3
Are Filled Promptly
TOPEKA, KAS.: The strike cf
the boilermakers employed by the
Ate' ison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway
company has begun to assume definite
proportions. Both the railway com-
pany and the men make the usual
claims that they will win easily. All
the Santa Fe shops are being ope~-
ated as usual. According to the best
information received here, none of the
boilermakers in Emporia, Argentine,
Fort Madison and Ottawa obeyed the
strike order. F. II. Kyler, the union
official in charge of the strike here,
insists that only one man between
Topeka and Albuquerque refused to
go out. This was at Lss Vegas. At
Newton, Kansas, thirty men obeyed
the order, and the railway company
immediately put ten experienced men
to work in their places. Officials of
the Santa Fe report that no violence
has yet resulted from the strike, but
that the strikers are maintaining
picket lines at all the shops. The
nearest approach to disorder was in
Topeka, where the strikers distributed
several thousand posters, advising
people not to travel on the Santa Fe,
alleging it .to be unsafe.
John Purcell, general foreman of
the shops, says the work in all the
departments is proceeding as usual,
and that the strike has had absolute-
ly no effect so far as the Santa Fe is
concerned. He says he has 145 men
at work in the boiler department, and
that all work is being done promptly.
According to the figures of the rail-
way company officials fifty-three men
are out. The strikers say their esti-
mate is 115, but no count has been
made.
ALL BROKEN DOWN.
RUSSIAN PRISONS FILLED
Demonstrations and Small Riots Are
of Almost Daily Occurrence
ST. PETERSBURG: The police
are making numerous arrests of
workmen and "intellectuals," and the
prisons are now full to overflowing.
In former years those arrested before
May day were chiefly "intellectuals,"
but this year the workingmen are
taking such a prominent part in agi-
tation and disturbances that they
form a majority of those arrested.
Practically all of the Schidlovsky
commission which was created in
February last to investigate the
causes of discontent among the work-
ing classes are in custody. Demon-
strations and small riots are of al-
most daily occurrence.
ARE NOT ELIGIBLE
Undertakers From Indian Territory
Must Wait Awhile
GUTHRIE: Governor Ferguson has
announced that Indian Territory un-
dertakers can not. legally serve on
the Oklahoma tef'torial board of em-
balmers, created by the recent legis-
lature. The undertakers of both
territories have heretofore had a
merged association, and several well
known Indian Territory members
filed applications with Governor Fer-
guson for positons on the embalming
board, believing all members of the
two territory associations were
eligible to serve. Thus far the num-
ber of applications from Indian Ter-
ritory exceed those from Oklahoma.
"Lost Bridge" Matter Coming Up
LAWTON: The county commission-
ers have decided to take some st^ps
toward opening to the public, the?
bridge known as Lost Bridge, over
Cache creek, cast of Lawton. This
bridge was built by the appointed
county commissioners and one end of
the bridge opens out upon an Indian [
allotment. For this cause, the Indian '
agent ordered the bu lge closed al- |
most as soon as it was built. It is
argued that since the railroads have
a right to condemn Indian allotments
for their use, that the county has the 1
same right to condemn an allotment
for this purpose.
STRIKE IN ITALY
Railroad Traffic Is Practically Tied
Up Throughout the Land
ROME: The strike of employees
of the state railroads against the gov-
ernment regulations continues.
Mrs. Meyer, wife of the American
ambassador at St. Petersburg, ami
her family have been unable to pro-
ceed to St. Petersburg, and J. Pier-
pont Morgan, who expccted to leave
Rome, has postponed his departure.
The situation is worse at Milan
Naples and Foggia. At Milan gener-
eral industries are feeling the effects
of the strike, one of the results being
a scarcity of coal. The supply of
meat is also very low at Naples and
Genoa.
Marquis Nicolini, mayor of Flor-
ence, has issued an address to the
citizens of that place, urging them to
discountenance strikers and extend
their assistance to those railway men
who have continued at their places
No Sleep—No Appetite—Just a Con-
tinual Backache.
Joseph McCauley, of 144 Sholto
street. Chicago, Sachem of Tecumseh
Lodge, says: "Two years ago my
health was com-,
pletely broken down.
My back ached and
was so lame that at
times I was hardly
able to dress myself.
I lost my appetite
and was unable to
sleep. There seemed
to bo no rcllof until
I took Doan's Kid-
ney Pills; but four boxes of this rem-
edy effected a completo and perma-
nent cure. If suffering humanity knew
the value of Doan's Kidney Pills they
would use nothing else, as it is the
only positive enre I know."

thing in that line.

TAKING NO RISKS
Secretary Wenner of the School Land
Board Has Bonds for All Funds
GUTHRIE: Fred L. Wenner, sec-
retary of the territorial school land
leasing board, is taking no risks
henceforward in the matter of official
funds deposited In tho banks. He
has every fund guarded now by a
well secured bond that will stand (lie
test in case of bank failures. Hereto-
fore it has been the custom of tho
secretaries of the board to deposit in
the banks any funds on hand, which,
for some reason, was In the hands
of tho secretary pending tho settle-
ment of some contested case. No
bond was required for theso funds,
but now Mr. Wenner has this fund aj
well secured as the others.

We have had a splendid winter" In
Western Canada.
Canada's inrush this year is wonder-
fully great and considerably ahead of
any previous year. It Is always inter-
esting to those who contemplate mov-
ing to read expressions of opinion
from those living in the country, it
is therefore our pleasure to reproduce
the following, written to an Agent of
the Government and forwarded to
the Immigration Branch of the Depart
ment of tho Interior at Ottawa:
Birch Hills, Sask., Canada, Feb. 1, '05.
Dear Sir:—I take pleasure in drop-
ping you a few lines to let you know
how we are getting along up here and
how we like the place. We have been
here close on to a year now and think
the place is fine. We ha"ve been out
every day this winter working in the
bush getting out logs for buildings,
etc., getting rails for fencing. We
have not suffered with the cold as
much as we did in Chicago. My lit-
tle boys are out every day with their
sleighs having a good time. The low-
est the temperature has been this
winter is 34 below, and it is very still,
no wind.
We had a splendid summer. We
put up aboui 50 tons of hay and will
have about 30 tons to sell. Hay
brings $S per ton now and will be
higher in the spring. We have 20
acres broke and ready for crop. We
worked on the Can. Nor. Ry. for
awhilo this summer and am Just 3
miles from the R. R. and town site.
The steel is all laid to within 2
miles of the river and we often see
the train bringing supplies for the
Bridge.
My wife's people are coming up
about May. I wish you would write
them and If there should be any one
coming to Prince Albert that could do
with a half a car let them know. The
homesteads are all taken up within
12 miles of us. I often think if this
land were only in tho States what a
rush there would be. It is thfe rich-
est land and most productive I ever
saw, and the climate is O. K.
I know that people back there that
I write to do not believe me when I
write them what a splendid winter
we are having. They think we are all
frozen up. We have only about 8
inches of snow, and there are cattle
■on the range that have not been
rounded up this winter. Day after day
the Ther. raises up to 50 and GO, and
I don't believe we have had a day
this winter that it stayed at zero.
My jjvife says that wo used to think
that zero was cold in Chicago. But
we don't mind It one bit. Christmas
night we went out and drove 5 miles
with our 3 little boys, it was 20 be-
low, and there wa3 not a whimper
from any one of them; I'd hate to do
it In, old Chicago,
Well, I guess 1 will close, and you
can tell amy one la tho U. S. that they
cannot do better than come to the
Prijce Albert District. I remain,
Yours truly,
(Signed) ' • J. D. Head.
