COMMUNISTS FAIL.
Following close upon the collapse of
the Christian Commonwealth, near
Columbus, Ga„ comes the failure of
the celebrated Ruskin colony in the
same state. This colony, it will be re-
membered, was originally located in
Tennessee, but after losing more than
half its members and becoming deeply
Involved In debt, it moved to Georgia.
The Ruskinites who still clung to the
plan of conducting a town on the com-
munistic plan had money enough left
to purchase 600 acres of land In Geor-
gia. They numbered 125 persons when
they settled threre three years ago,
and for a while it seemed they would
sncceed. They had found a fin cli-
mate and good laud, capable of pro-
ducing a variety of crops. The results
of the first year's efforts were en-
couraging. The colonists had not only
supported themselves well, but had a
neat surplus for their common fund at
the end of the year, Besides their
crops, they had u fristmlll, ft sawmill,
a broom factory, and a harness fac-
tory. In the second year they had a
fair return for their labors, and gained
a score or more of recruits. Last year,
however, things went wrong. The
crops were poor, and the little fac-
tories were not profitable. The colony
got Into debt. Many of its members
became discontented, and quite a num-
ber left last fall.
When the present year opened cred-
itors began to press for payment and
the credit of the colony was exhausted.
Recently 20 per cent, of Its members
signed a petition asking that a com-
mittee of three be appointed to sell all
the real estate and personalty of the
association, In order to pay its debts,
and divide the surplus among Its mem-
bers. The colony's debts amounted to
|8,000, and recently drafts upon it to
the amount of $1,500 went to protest.
There will be an election this month
to determine whether the assets of
the association shall be sold and the
colony disbanded.
The dispersal of C o colony is now
a forego > c \ and thus one
more v > • the already long
list of failures of socialistic experi-
ments that have been made in the
United StSates. The attempts of So-
cialists and communists to transmute
humanity at once by founding Utopias
have all come to nothing.
Some few years ago an attempt to
found a similar communistH colony In
this territory was made and some
lands were purchased for that purpose,
but what became of it, Or whether it
is still in existence wo nre not able to
state. We do not remember to have
fceer. statements where colonics found-
ed upon the Ruskin Ideas, have proven
a success in this country, and It is not
likely that we will.
WHAT GENERAL FITZHUGH
LEE THINKS.
At a banquet given to General Fitz-
hugh Lee In Omaha tie other evening
he ipoke as follows concerning our
new possessions and Cuba and the
reaponaJbility of the United States
government in the premises:
"More than ever must there be an
exercise of patriotism In ItL highest
sense by the citizens of the United
States. The ship of state has extend-
ed Its sailing chart to parts of the
world undreamed of until recently aa
being In its course. The Philippines
are ours by treaty, and their future,
so tar as the United States is concern-
ed, should be duly determined by con-
gri ps after, ami not before, the armed
i sistani e to tlfe authority oI the Uni-
ted States has ceased. The splendid
exploit of Funston throws a brilliant
light upon the coming path of peace.
"Porto Hlco Is ours by conquest,
while Cuba has its status fixed by the
Teller resolution In the act declaring
war against Spain. Under that reso-
lution the United States disclaims any
intention of exercising sovereignty,
jurisdiction or control over the island
of Cuba, except for the pacification
thereof, and when that Is accomplish-
ed the government of the island should
be turned over to its own people. That
solemn declaration is binding on our
government, and, in my opinion, will
be and should be rigidly adhered to.
"The expenditure of treasure and
blood, the dea/1 American soldiers and
sailors, the geographical location of
the islands, the large interests held
by the Americans, Spanish. Kngllsh,
German, French and IndeH the Cu-
bans themselves demand that the is-
land should not only be pacified, but
be permanently pacified, l'he pledge
of the United States doeB not demand
that American control or supervision
be absolutely withdrawn if the Uni-
ted StateB, from evidence before the
proper department, believes that the
Cubans will light among themselves
before or shortly after the American
soldiers now in Cuba stack their mus-
kets on American soil.
"Cuba's future will be determined
by Cuba's statesmanship. Should the
collective Cuban wisdom be sufficient
to keep the craft ailoat on the wate:s
of prosperity and establish a stable
government strong enough to protect
life and property and give confidence
to capital there will be no disposition
on the part of the United States to in-
terfere; but if the government prob-
lem can not be solved after a fair trial
by the Cubans the future destiny of
the 'smile of the sea' will be forever
confided to the care of the great Ameri-
can republic."

As Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
for womanly diseases. No one knows
this better than the woman who lias
tried local doctors and many medicines
and found no cure until she began
the use of "Favorite Prescription." It
establishes rejfularity, stops weakening
drains, heals inflammation and ulcera-
tion and cures female weakness. It
makes weak women strong and sick
women well.
"I was troubled for three years with ulcera-
tion and female weaknew and my doctor gave
mc but little relief," writes Mrs. Lulu Hunter
of Alleuton, St Louis Co., Mo. "I V,w an
advertisement in the pap^r of Doctor Pierce's
Favorite Prescription. I began the use of it
about a year ago. I took five bottles of it, and
one bottle of ' Golden Medical Discovery,' and
my health is better now than it was for years.
I have also recommended these medicines to
some of my friends, who suffered from female
weakness, and good results have followed."

Territorial Normal at Alva have com-

organ of the school under the title of
N. T. N. The first number is a most
creditable publication and gives prom-
ise or being a great factor in building
up and enlarging the usefulness of the
Alva Normal. The number on our
table Is handsomely bound in maga-
zine form, with a pretty design for the
front cover by Mrs. Poppy Hostetter

Washita county, Okla. The incorpora-
tors are: F. rt. Wildman, Wm. Cooley,

Dainties to Serve With Tea.
Dainty orange wafers are exceeding-
ly nice to pass with tea. A ginger or
einnamon wafer should be served
with chocolate, and a plain unflavored
one with conee, says a writer in April
Ladies' Home Journal. You may, if
you like, pass some little bonbons, liue
cnocolate wafers, but you should not
have any other refreshments at an af'
ternoon tea. Remember that in these
days elegance tends toward simplicity.
WHAT WILL BE DONE
WITH AGUINALDO.
The talk of administration men of
the death penalty for Aguinaldo for
treason against the United States gov-
ernment, is the veriest rot. What has
the Tagal chief done which could by
any hook or crook justify such punish-
ment? He was not a citizen of the
United States, never had sworn alle-
giance to the government, and his cap-
ture by our troops in the field would
not warrant such an outrage and there
is not the slightest danger of the adop-
tion of such an extreme measure. His
deportation to Guam and life imprlijpn-
ment there as has been suggested.' is
equally out of the question. A great
government like ours could not afTord
to do this, and It is more probable that
a conservative course will be adopted,
and after matters are more pacific In
the islands he will be set at liberty
under some sort of restraint.
WAS THE PRESIDENT
HYPNOTIZED?
If reports are reliable from Wash-
ington It looks like Secretary Jenkins
has succeeded in hypnotizing the presi-
dent. While Barnes and Mc Neal were
cavorting on the outside of the presi-
dential ear rim, Jankins seems to have
went deeper and tickled into respons-
ive activity the perilymph surrounding
the labyrinth and established direct
and effective communication through
the organ of corti with the auditory
nerve of the presidential hearing ap-
paratus and plucked the fruit while
the others were feeding on hope de-
ferred.

The governor of Arkansas has sign-

the most stringent law, probably, ever
passed by a state legislature, and there
is not a particle of doubt but that it
will put an effectual stop to gaming
In that state. They also passed a law
which will prevent the shipment of
whlaky into prohibition districts in the

2fith last, celebrated his 119th birth
day anniversary. The date of his
birth is a matter of record. In reply
to many leading doctors and scientific
men who have recently visited Mr.
Elmer to see if there was anything un-
usual about him to cause him to live
so many years beyond the alloted time,
Mr. Elmer alwayB replies that his only
medicine for over a score of years has
been and is Duffy's Pure Malt Whisky.
He says it keeps up his vitality. He
had a touch of grip recently, but a few
doses of Duffy's Pure Malt Whisky
drove out the germs, and he is now
fully recovered.
Joseph McGrath, of 444 82d St., New
York City, has just celebrated his 102d
birthday, and says he enjoys life and
he feels as strong and vigorous as he
did 20 years ago. He says Duffy's Pure
Malt Whisky has kept him vigorous
and strong and prolonged his life. He
says: "It tones my system, stimu-
lates my blood, as well as keeping me
proof from coughs and.colds."
Exra Gould, a prominent citizen of
Newark, N. J., who resides at the Park
House in that city, is content and
nappy at 93 years of age. About ten
years ago he felt his strength failing.
Upon the advice of his doctor he tried
Duffy's Pure Malt Whisky. In two or
three weeks he noticed a change for
the better. To use his own words:
"My tired, worn out nervous system
improved, my brain became clear. I
had delightful sleep, and would awake I
refreshed, feeling that life was not a j

Reconciliation Brought About by Re-
fusal to Issue License.
A pleasantly romantic little elope-
ment leaked out yesterday afternoon.
A nice couple of young folks came to
this city from Perry and registered at
the Okla hotel. Then they went to
Probate Judge Goodrich's office and
asked for a license to be married. The
judge was inclined to examine the
matter and ascertained that the young
lady was not within the "limit," so he
refused, saying that he would require
the consent of the young lady's par-
ents. The jig was up. Then immedi-
ately they opened diplomatic relations
with "mamma" who with little per-
suasion, consented to the negotiations
with Judge Goodrich. The happy re-
sult was that Mr. Earnest Seaton and
Miss Mildred Fountain were made one.
Tney returned to Perry on the even-
ing train, where they received the
blessings and total forgiveness of their
fond parents, and will live heppy ever
afterward.
FRAUDS AND SCANDALS
AT MANILA.
Cablegrams from Manila disclose a
big sensation in the commissary de-
partment of the United states army
involving the peculations in govern-
ment supplies of officers in the volun-
terr service and several arrests
have been made. Quartermaster
Barrows, head of the commissary
department in Luzon, has been ar-
rested together with several other
subordinates under him charged
with the fraudulent disposal of these
supplies. It is said that these frauds
are on a large and extensive scale and
the loss to the government through
the rascality of tne officers and others
will reach into hundreds of thousands
of dollars.
