Doing Great Work.
Ward, Ark., March fith.—(Special.)
—From all over the West reports
come of cures of different forms of
Kidney Disease by Dodd's Kidney
Pills, and this place is not without
evidence of the great work the Great
American Kidney Remedy is doing.
Among the cured here Is Mr. J. V.
Waggoner, a well known citizen, who,
in an interview, says: "Dodd's Kidney
Pills have done wonders for me. My
kidneys and bladder were badly out
of order. I used many medicines, but
got nothing to cure me till I tried
Dodd's Kidney Pills. Two boxes of
them fixed me up so that I have been
well ever since.
"Tell the poor kidney and bladdet
diseased people to take Dodd s Kid-
ney Pills and get well."
No case of kidney complaint is too
far gone for Dodd's Kidney Pills to
cure. They are the only remedy that
has ever cured Bright's Disease.

peal, the debtor being stripped of his
clothes and compelled to work in fet-
ters, generally for the rest of his life,
to pay the interest. Drunkards are
not permitted to give evidence in the
law courts of Siam.
Plsr.s Already Made to Thretii the
Same Straw at the Next S:ssicn of
Congress—"We Will Surely Gat
Statehood Then"
WASHINGTON: The statehood
bill died at 9:30 o'clock Friday night.
At that time the conferees on the
bill parted, not to meet again during
the fifty-eighth congress. There
was persistent effort on the. part of
the senate conferees to gei a disa-
greement report to the two houses,
but the house conferees made the
positive declaration that no disagree-
ment report would be signed.
The plan of the house leaders on the
statehood queition for the next con-
gress has been outlined. The first
day of the next session Representa-
tive Hamilton, chairman of the house
committee on territories, will intro-
duce a statehood bill, with provisions
like those which passed the house.
He will call hi3 committee together
to report the bill. This action will
be taken without preliminary hear-
ings. Within two weeks, it 13 ex-
pected, the bill will be on the house
cale:ndar. A special rule will be forth-
coming to put it through without pro-
tracted discussion, and then it will
again be before the senate. It is
believed that with the long session
before it the bill caa be passed in
the senate.

DISTRESSING TROUBLES LEFT BY
ST. VITUS AND GBIP.
Woman Affli«-te<l for Year* by Strange
Spells of Numbnea* anil Weakness
Recovers I'erfeet Health.
When she was fourteen years old, Mrs,
[da L. Brown liad St. Vitus' dance.
She finally got over the most noticeable
features of tho strange ailment, but was
still troubled by very uncomfortable sen-
sations, which she recently described as
follows:
" One hand, half of niv face, and half
of my tongue would get cold and numb.
These feelings would come on, last for
about ten minutes, and then go away,
several times a day. Besides I would
have palpitation of the heart, and niv
strength would get so low that 1 could
hardly breathe. As time went on these
spells kept coming oftcuer nml growing
worse. The numbness would sometimes
extend over lialf my body."
" How did you get rid of them ?"
"It seemed for a long time as if I never
could get rid of them. It was not until
about six years ago that I found a remedy
that had virtue enough in it to reach my
case. That was Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
for Pale People, and they have since en-
tirely cured me."
" Did it tako long to effect a cure? "
"No! I hadn't taken the whole of the
first box before I saw a great improve-
ment. So I kept on using them, growing
better all the time,until I had taken eight
boxes and then I was perfectly well, and
I have remained in good health ever
since with one exception."
" What was that ? " *
•' Oh ! that was when I had the grip.
I was in bed, under the doctor's care,
for two weeks. When I got up I had
dreadful attacks of dizziness. 1 had to
grasp hold of something or I would fall
right down. I was just miserable, and
when I saw tho doctor was not helping
me, I began to tako Dr. Williams' Pinl;
Pills again. In a short time they cured
ineof that trouble too, and I have nevei
had any dizzy spells since."
Mrs. Brown lives at No. 1705 DeWitl
street, Mattoon, Illinois. Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills aro without nn equal for the
rapid and thorough cure of nervous pros-
tration. They expel the poison left in the
system by such diseases as grip and an
the best of tonics in all cases of weak
ucss. They are sold by every druggist.
The Attorney General of Kansas Is
After the Standard Oil Company
TOPEKA, KAS.: Attorney Gener-
al Coleman has filed suit in the Kan-
sas supreme court, asking that a re-
ceiver be appointed for the Prairie
Oil and Gas company, because that
corporation has failed to comply with
the laws of the state. The Prairie
company is the Standard's Kansas
branch, and does business in a ntim
ber of counties of the state. The
writ was made returnable March 10,
and the answer to the application will
be made March 30. The papers will
be served in Wyandotte county, be-
cause of the supposition that the in
te rests of the company are centered
there.
All the railway companies of th
state, with the exception of the Santa
Fe. are made parties to the suit. In
addition to these, an action has been
brought against the Transcontinental
Freight Bureau, the Western Trunk
Line company and the Southwestern
Traffic company. All these concerns
arc alleged to have entered into an
agreement with the Standard Oil
company to make rates which are
discriminative on oil and oil by-
products.
Pedagogs of Indian Territory May
Now Get Their Money
MUSKOGEE: At last the teach-
ers in the Creek and Cherokee na-
tions ane to receive their pay. The
Indian agency has received a telegram
from Washington stating that the
auditor has issued the voucher for
the funds to pay the teachers, and
this has besa forwarded to St. Louis.
Superintendent Benedict is greatly
relieved now that the teachers are to
be paid their salaries. For five
months he has been annoyed by teach-
ers and boarding house keepers who
were demanding money. There are
approximately 200 teachers in Creek
and Cherokes schools, who have not
received their pay for five months.
The reason for the delay, the super-
intendent declares, is largely due to
the unfortunate complication of the
government funds in the bands of the
Indian agent. The bond required of
Mr. Benedict Is $200,000, and the law
does not permit him to have more
than this amount on hand, and as
there are so many funds from which
the agent must disburse, the money
supply is exhausted long before the
question of paying the teachers is
reached.
Mr. Benedict is endeavoring to de-
vise some scheme whereby this per-
plexing problem will be solved next
year. Already he is finding it diffi
cult to secure teachers, and if th?
present conditions are to continue he
fears it will be impossible to supply
competent teachers for Indian Terri-
tory schools.
INDIANS AVOIDING OFFICERS
Deputy Marshals Have a Bunch ot
Fullblocds in the Flint Hills
PRYOR CREEK: Fifteen or twenty
deputy United States marshals are
searching the flint hills, twelve miles
east of here, for the Wickliffe boys,
fullblood Cherokees, who killed
Deputy Marshal Velr a few days ago.
There are three of the Wickliffes, and
they have gathered about eight other
Indians who are on the scout for vari-
ous offenses. They are said to be all
armed with Winchesters. They have
told their friends that they intend to
swap off with the officers, which
means a fight to the death. The
band is scouting in a mountainous
and heavily timbered country. In-
habited by fuilbloods, who keep them
informed of the movement of the of-
ficers, and it is expected that more
killing will take place before the gang
is broken up.

Senate Amends Indian Appropriation
Bill Continuing
WASHINGTON: The senate has
adopted as a part of the Indian appro-
priation bill, an amendment offered
by Senator Clapp, which to all intents
and purposes will continue the Dawes
commission in force until after the
completion of Indian affairs in the
Indian Territory. The amendment
provides that the president appoint
for the purpose, a committee or com-
mission with the same power as the

"MUSKOGEE: The "Nlghthai,-ks''
of the Cherokee nation are no more,
according to a report of a field party
from the Cherokee land office, which
has been working in the fountry near
Marble City, where many of the
"Nighthawks" live. It is said that
the stubborn resistance which they
have made against the government
has ceased, and many of these In-
dians are now taking their allotments
and have agreed that there shall be
110 further opposition on their part.
These Indians have been trying to
block the work of the Dawes commis-
sion in the allotment of land for sev-
eral years.

Nebraska and Kansas Are Preparing
More Legislation
LINCOLN, NEB.: The house has
passed the anti-trust bill by a vote of
72 to 10. The. bill must yet be con-
sidered by the senate. The meas-
ure exempts domestic corporations in
its provisions, and its author, Repre-
sentative Jenkins, said that while all
foreign corporations are affected, the
provisions of the bill are intended for
the especial benefit of the beef truat
and the Standard Oil company. Pub-
licity by the medium of complete re-
ports to the attorney general, and
severe penalties for violations of the
anti-rebate provisions are leading
features of the bill.
TOPEKA, KAS.: The senate has
unanimously passed Senator Nott-
zinger's bill to prevent the operation
ot trusts within the state. The bill
is patterned after the Texas law, and
is similar in purpose to the anti-dis-
crimination act already passed by
both houses of the legislature. It
provides a fine of $20,000 for each at-
tempt to stifle competition in any
business.
Coffee Plays on Some.
It hardly pays to laugh before you
are certain of facts, for it is some-
times humiliating to think of after-
wards.
"When I was a young girl I was a
lover of coffee but was sick so much
the doctor told me to quit and I did
but after my marriage my husband
begged me to drink it again a" he
did not think it was the coffee caused
the troubles.
"So I commenced it again and con-
tinued about 6 months until my stom-
ach commenced acting bad and chok
ing as if I had swallowed something
the size of an egg. One doctor said
it was neuralgia and indigestion.
"One day I took a drive with my
husband three miles in the country
and I drank a cup of coffee for dinner.
I thought sure I would die before I got
back to town to a doctor. I was drawn
double In the buggy and when my
husband hitched the horse to get me
out into the doctor's office, misery
came up in my throat and seemed
to shut my breath off entirely, then
left all in a flash and went to my
heart. The doctor pronounced it ner-
vous heart trouble and when I got
home I was so weak I could not sit
up.
"My husband brought my supper to
my bedside with a nice cup of hot cof-
fee but I said: 'Take that back, dear
I will never drink another cup of cof-
fee if you gave me everything you are
worth, for it is just killing me.' He
and the others laughed at me and
said:
'"The idea oftcoffee killing any
body.'
" 'Well,' I said, 'it is nothing else
but coffee that is doing it.'
"In the grocery one day my hus>
band was persuaded to buy a box oi
Postum which he brought home and
I made it for dinner and we both
thought how good it was but said
nothing to the hired men and they
thought they had drunk coffee untij
we laughed and told them. Well we
kept on with Postum and it was nol
long before the color came back to
my cheeks and I got stout and« felt
as good as I ever did in my life. 1
have no more stomach trouble and 1
know I owe It all to Postum in place
of coffee.
"My husband has gained good health
on Postum, as well as baby and I, and
we ail think nothing is too gcod to say
about it." Name given by Postuni
