Miss Florence E. Kenah, 434 Maria street, Ottawa, Ont., writes:
"A few months ago I caught a severe cold, which settled on my lungs and re-
mained there so pirsistently that I became alsrmad. I took medicine without
benefit, until my digestive organs became upset, and my head and back began
to ache severely and frequently. t
••I was advised to try Peruna, and although I had little faith I felt so sick that
I was ready to try anything. It brought me blessed relief at once, and I felt
that I had the right medl.lne at last. Within three weeks I was completely
restored and have enjoyed perfect health since.
••I now have the greatest faith la Peruna." Florence E. Kenah.

Pe-ru-na Contains No Narcotics.
One reason why Peruna has found
permanent use in so many homes is that
it contains no narcotic of any kind.
Peruna is perfectly harmless. It can
be used any length of time without ac-
quiring a drug habit. Peruna does not
produce temporary results. It is perma
nent in its effect.
It has no bad effect upon the system,
and gradually eliminates catarrh by re-
moving the cause of catarrh. There are
a multitude of homes where Peruna has
been used off and on for ttventy years.
Such a thing could not be possible if
Peruna contained any drugs of a nar-
cotic nature.

The following interesting letter gives
one young woman's experience with
Peruna.
Miss Rose Gerbing, r popular society
woman of Crown Point, I ml., writes:
"Recently I took a long drive in the
country, and being too thinly clad I
caught a bad cold which settled on my
lungs, and which I could not seem to
skake off. I had heard a great deal of
Peruna for colds and catarrh and I
bought a bottle to try. I am pleased
that I did, for it brought speedy relief.
It only took about two bottles, and I
consider this money well spent.

Congress Provides Commission in
Osage Nation as Appraisers
MUSKOGEE: The Indian appro-
priation bill contains several provis-
ions of importance relative to t'.ie es-
tablishment of townsites on the
Osage reservation. The most im-
portant is that of carrying five town
sites—Pawhuska, Hominy, Fairfax and
two to be named along the line of the
Midland Valley railroad. One feature
of the bill prohibits the laying off of a
townsite within less than ten miles
of Pawhuska, the capital of the Osage
nation.
An Osage commission of three mem-
bers is provided for in the bill. One of
the commissioners is to be the Osage
Indian agent to be appointed by the
chief executive of the tribe, and one
by the secretary of the interior. The
townsite commission will lay off the
townsites, appraise the lots in the
same manner as the townsite apprais-
ments are made in Indion Territory.
A LAWTON BANK FAH.URE
Bank Examiner Takes Charge of the
Institution
LAWTON: Paul F. Cooper, terri-
torial bank examiuer, has taken
charge of th« Bank of Lawton, which
failed to meet its obligations. A
thorough investigation Is being made
behind closed doors, and no definite
information is obtainable. The Bank
of Lawton had a capital stock of $100,-
000, and was owned and controlled by
McDuffie Brothers of this city. J. S.
McDuffie. the cashier, is the city treas-
urer, and had on deposit about $25.-
000 belonging to the town. The last
statement of the bank was published
March 8. and showed cash and sight
exchange on hand of $44,409.81. B. H.
McDuffie, vice president of the bank,
is a broker in New York city, and it
is expected that he will come to the
rescue of the bank.
A BOY'S TERRIBLE REVENGE
A Purcell Young Man Shot His
Brother's Assailant
PURCELL: Alfred Kerr, aged
eighteen years, son of a prosperous
farmer living west of here, shot and
killed instantly Roy Newman, aged
eighteen years, the son of a well
known business man. The shooting
occurred in a clothing store here. The
trouble arose over Newman slapping
Kerr's younger brother whilQ at
school. After school Kerr armed him-
selt and started after Newman, with
the result as stated. Newman was
unarmed, with the exception of a
pocket knife, and was running from
Kerr when shot. The bullet tore the
top of Newman's head off. Kerr was
arrested immediately.
Struck a Woman With a Corn Knife
HARRAH: During a quarrel be-
tween Lyman and Nichols Waski,
brothers, near here, the wife of the
last named attempted to interfere and
was struck on the head with the blade
of a stalk cutter, a serious wound be-
ing inflicted. The father of the boys
also struck the woman with a wagon
breast-yoke, knocking her down.
Neither of the assailants of the woman
have been arrested.
Presbytery Closed
WAGONER: The annual meeting
of the Cherokee presbytery closed its
session here Thursday. At this meet-
ing was discussed the question as to
whether the Cumberland Presbyterian
church should be united wit h the Pres-
byterian church, U. S. A., and the af-
firmative was carried by a two-thirds
majority. There are 115 such pres-
byteries in the United States, and
should a majority of the organiza-
tions agree to do so, the churches
would be consolidated. It is the opin-
ion of the members of the presbytery
in session here that this result is
sure to come in a very few years, at
the most.
THE CROPS IN KIOWA COUNTY
HOBART: Farmers have been
greatly encouraged by the heavy rains
that have fallen in this section re-
cently. Even before the wet weather
set in there was an abundance of
moisture in the ground from the melt-
ing snows. Now the rains have thor-
oughly saturated the earth, and will
insure early crops.
Oat sowing is the order of the day.
Every farmer who failed to plain
wheat last fall is now putting forth
every effort to make amends by sow-
ing a large acreage of oats. And as
a result oat seed is in demand. Al-
most every farm wagon leaving town
contains a few bushels of that cereal,
to bo used as seen. On last Satur-
day hundreds of bushels of oats were
purchased. One man from Washita
county hauled home nine large loads
of oats.
The demand for seed has been so
great that grain dealers,have had dif-
ficulty in supplying their customers.
If the weathsr should continue fa-
vorable, the largest crop of oats in
the history of the southwest will be
harvested this season.

COMMISSIONER GARFIELD'S RE
PORT ON BEEF INDUSTRY.
The report of Commissioner Gar
field on the beef Industry has at last
been published. It must be some
what of a surprise to those who have
been indulging in wholesale adverse
criticism upon the methods of the
Chicago packers, as it discloses facts
and figures which clearly show that
the great food producers have been
Innocent of the serious offenses with
which they have been charged. They
have been for a long time accused by
nowspapers all over the country ol
extortionate prices demanded, and ob
tained, of depression of values of cat
tie at the various stockyards where
their business is conductcd, of enor
mous profits wholly disproportionate
to the capital employed, and, in gen
eral, of so carrying on their business
that the public, under an organized
system of spoliation, were being
robbed for their exclusive benefit.
We find now, however, that not a
single one of these charges has been
sustained but, on the contrary, that
rigid and searching investigation, of
ficially made, has resulted tn com
plete acquittal.
Instead of extortion it is shown that
no industry can be found where sc
narrow a margin of profit prevails—
the actual records ar.i original en
tries, to which the commissioner had
free access, showing that the high
est net profit any of the packers
made on their sales of beef was two
and three-tenths per cent in 1902 and
in one instance that the profit realized
in 10*04 was one and eight-tenths pei
cent.
The variations in the market prices
for cattle are exhaustively treated
and no evidence of any kind was dis
covered, or even hinted at, tending tc
show that values of cattle are in the
slightest degree improperly affected
or controlled by packers at any ol
the chief centers of the industry.
On the whole, the report completely
dissipates the prevalent idea that
great fortunes are being amassed by I
illegal and improper methods em- j
ployed by western packers, showing j
that notwithstanding the high prices
tor beef prevailing in 1902 the busi-1
ness wa3 less remunerative than in
years characterized by normal values
both for cattle and product. He says
"that the year 1902, instead of being
one of exorbitant profits, as has been
commonly supposed, was less profit'
able than usual. In fact, during the
months when the prices of beef were
the highest, some, at least, of the
leading packers were losing money j
on every head of cattle slaughtered j
It was not possible to advance the ]
prices of beef in full proportion to the j
great advance in the prices of cattle I
at that time."
After all that has been written re-!
fleeting upon the great business In
terest engaged in the marketing and
distribution of the product of one ol
the greatest of our national indus-
tries, it is gratifying to all fair minded
people that the prejudiced attacks J
upon it have failed of verification; |
and the great western packers may be }
congratulated for having passed!
through such a searching and thor- j
ough official investigation unsmirched,
The results of this Investigation,
based as It Is upon exhaustive data,
officially obtained and verified by
United States government experts,
must be accepted without hesitation,
as the investigation was made under
circumstances that guaranteed com-
pleta accuracy with a possible dispo
sition indeed, to arrive at entirely
diffor^nt results.
Interfered With Her Social Duties nnd
Threatened to Cause Her Retire-
ment—How She Was Cured.
Every sufferer from nervous headache
knows how completely it unfits one for
the duties and pleasures of life. Any
little excitement, or over-exertion, or ir-
regularity brings it on. Sometimes the
pain is over the whole head. Again it
is liko n nail driven into the brain, or a
wedgo splitting it open, or a band tight-
ening about it. At oue time it is all in
the top of the head, at another it is all
at the base of the skull.
Most headaches can be traced to some
faulty state of the blood. When the
blood is scanty or charged with poison,
and the nerves are imperfectly nourished
and the digestion weak, one of the com-
monest results is frequent and seyere
headaches.
The important thing is to get rid of the
diseased condition of tho blood that
causes the attack by the use of a remedy
that will do the work quickly and
thoroughly. What is that remedy ? The
experience of Miss Ellen McKeuna fur-
nishes the answer. She says:
" For more than seven years I was a
great sufferer from nervous headache aud
dizziness. My stomach was disordered,
and I becamo so restless that I could not
sit still any length of time. Dizziness
interrupted uiy work greatly. At first
the attacks were not go severe, but they
gradually grew more violent, and finally
became so acute that I was on the point
of relinquishing my membership in the
different organizations to which I be-
longed."
"What saved you from that necessity?"
"A very simple thing; the call of a
member of one of tho clubs,who strongly
advised me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
before giving up. I acted on her sugges-
tion at once, and after steadily using this
great blood and nerve remedy for two
months, my headaches and my dizzi-
ness entirely disappeared.
Miss MoKenna is secretary of the
Associated Ladies' Guild, aud resides at
No. 48 Wait street, Roxbnry, Mass. Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills have cured many
hundreds of similar cases, aud can be
confidently recommended to drive all
poisons from the blood and to give needed
strength to the nerves. Every druggist
keeps them.
