DECKER SHOWS
HIS TEETH
Senator John H. Decker has return-
ed homo to Grant county, after spend-
ing several days here, and gave it out
positively before leaving that the use
of his name as a possible candidate for
governor, in opposition to the re-ap-
pointment of Governor Ferguson, was
uncaled for. unauthorized and untrue.
He announced himself In the harness
to stay for Ferguson for a second
term aud will use whatever influence
he may have in that direction.
Senator Decker announces, also, that
there U not a thiug that ho wants
politically, excepting one, and that Is
the defeat of Bird McGutre for re-elec
tlon, if ever again the Pawnee man Is
a candidate. Decker is a long-time He-
publican and a leader in Grant county
politics, having served his county in
both houses of the legislature, and
sijch a statement from him carries a
modicum of weight. It is learned that
some of the McGuire machine fellows
charged Decker with luke-warmness
during the la-t congressional cam-
paign. a disease, however, which Sen-
ator Decker denies ever having con-
tracted. It was used in the campaign,
unsuccessfully, however, against Deck-
er, and of course ho is politically up in
arms against McGuire.
In talking of the matter Decker was
emphatic in the statement that any at-
tempt at an armistice between him and
the McGuire machine would be frown-
ed upon by him, and that whatever
advances were made, would have to
be made by the congressman in per-
son, as he (Decker) was not seeking
any "kiss and make-up" proposition.
It is known that the Republicans in
Grant county are almost to a man
against McGuire, and that his recent
appointment of Representative J. P.
Becker as his chief lieutenant in that
county, has served only to further
alienate the strong leaders.
One phase of the anti-Ferguson
movement results from the personal
efforts of John Dillon of Blaine coun-
ty, who is angry with the governor lie-
cause Dillon's salary was cut down as
coal oil inspector, making the office
so,unprofitable that he was forced to
resign, ■

"In the light of recent developments
resulting from the investigations of the
special government inspectors, it
seems quite probable that there will
be some changes in the Oklahoma ju-
diciary.
"There is considerable talk. I notice,
of Capt. Frank Frantz, for governor.
Capt. Frantz is possessed of executive
ability of unusually high degree, which
is demonstrated in his successful con-
duct of the affairs of the Osage Indian
agency. Then, again, he possesses the
entire confidence of President Roose-
velt. which would be a powerful fac-
tor in his favor should he aspire to the
governorship. But I doubt if Capt.
Frantz is really seriously entertaining
the governorship proposition at this
time. Oklahoma is dead sure to get
statehood at the next session of con-
gress and it is hardly likely that Capt.
Frantz would surrender his present po-
sition for a place of a few months
tenure.

had them in Jail 'he second day after
the theft took place.
To say the least for Logan county's
sheriff, he has caught more thieves and
criminals than any officer in the his-
tory of the territory, considering the
length of time he has been in office.
Thieves will simply have to hunt their
holes or stay out of this section of the
territory. Sheriff Murphy is like
poison to them and he never has been
known yet to fail to get his man when
he went after him. He has been
sheriff of Logan county less than six
months and has landed at least thirty
horse thieves and other criminals in
Jail, all of whom were "on the scout"
and badly wanted.
Logan county has just reason to feel
proud of Sheriff Murphy. He upholds
the law and does his duty to the closest
mark. He leaves nothing undone and
is not afraid of the work his office de-
mands of him.

Mrs. Strain had been work-
ing here for several prominent fami-
lies. Strain came hero and lived with
his wife for two months. Then she
disappeared and was not found until
yesterday when he 'phoned to the of-
ficers at Muskogee where Mrs. Strain
and the negro, whose name was given
as John Wlltt, were seen.
Strain is a poor man, about 50 years
old, aud had scarcely enough money to
pay for the telephone expenses and the
amount was made up among; the tele-
phone girls at the Pioneer Telephone
company, who took pity on him.
The story of Mr. and Mrs. Strain's
life is a sad, one. They were married
about fifteen years ago and lived for a
long time in Osage City, Kansas. At
that place they had a restaurant.
John Witt, the negro who apparently
won the white woman's love, had been
acquainted with Mrs. Strain since be-
fore Reuben Strain married her. Peo-
ple at Osage CMty kept informing
Strain of his wife's doubtful actions,
but he would not believe them. In
fact, he frequently got into trouble
when disputing what the people told
him about her. He would fight for
her, declaring that he would not have
any man talk about his wife.
The negro, John .Witt, was nothing
but a common laborer and always vis-
ited the Strain home at Osage City.
This was not approved of by the citi-
zens of that town, but her husband
seemed to have no objections and it is
believed that it was there and then
that the runaway was planned.
After the woman's coming to Guthrie
it is not positively known whether the
negro came here or not, but it is
known that Mrs. Strain had a white

THE ITCHING WAS TERRIBLE.
Kscondido, S m Diego Co., Cal., Oct. i900.
Dear Sirs—My body broke out with a
rash or eruption. The itching, especially at
night, was simply terrible; it would almost
disappear at times, only to return worse than
ever. I had tried many preparations with-
out benefit, nud hearing ot S. S. S. determin-
ed to give it a fair trial; a few bottles cured
me entirely, removing every blemish and
pimple from my body. L. Ma&NO.
BAD FORM OF TETTER.
For three years I had Tetter on my hands,
which caused them to swell to twice their
•natural size. Part of the time the disease
was in the form of running sores, very pain-
ful, and causing me much discomfort. Four
doctors said the Tetter had progressed too
far to be cured, and they could do nothing
for me. I took only three bottles of S. S. S.
nnd was completely cured. This was fifteen
years ago, and I have never since seen any
sign of my old trouble.
Mrs. L. B. Jackson,
837 St. Taul St., Kansas City, Kan.
Only persistent and faithful
tion, when the M'liole body feels like an over-heated furnaee, aud the escaping poison bums
and blisters like liquid fire.
To the skin disease sufferer,
summer time brings 110 joy,
but is a season of unrest, sleep-
less nights and incessant pain,
resulting in shattered nerves,
physical exhaustion and gen-
eral derangement of all the
vital forces. Scratching is a
pleasant recreation to one tor-
mented and almost distracted
by an aggravating itching skin
eruption. Some find tempor-
ary relief in bathing and the
application of lotions and
salves. A few hours respite is
gained by such methods, but
nothing applied externally can
alter the condition of the blood
or check the outflow of the burning fluids through the skin. _ .
constitutional treatment can do this. The acid poison in the blood, which is the real cause of
the eruption, must be attacked, and when the blood has been cleared of all accumulated impu-
rities aud restored to a healthy condition, then, and only then, will a thorough aud lasting
cure be effected, and for the accomplishment of all this, no remedy equals S._S. S., which
contains all requirements for cleansing and building up the acid blood, aud invigocating
and toning up the system. S. S. S. completely and permanently eradicates every vestige
of poison, thus effectually preventing a fresh outbreak of the disease. _ - w
Cases that have resisted ordinary treatment for years, yield to the purifying, cooling
effects of S. S. vS. upon the blood, and when rich, pure blood is again circulating through the
ystem, the itching and stinging cease, the eruption disappears, aud the red, rough skin
becomes soft and smooth again.
Skin diseases appear in various forms—sometimes
in pustules or blisters, sores, rashes, or red, disfiguring
bumps and pimples—but all are caused by a bad condi-
tion of the blood, and for which S. S. S. is a safe and
effectual cure. No bad effects can come from its use,
because it contains no Arsenic, Potash or other harmful
drugs, but is guaranteed a strictly vegetable remedy.
If you are a sufferer from some summer terror like Eczema, Tetter, Acne, Psoriasis, Salt
Rheum, Nettle Rash or kindred disease, write 11s about it, aud medical advice or any special
information wanted will be given without charge.

Strain called on Governor Ferguson
for assistance in his plight. The gov-

anything for him as it was not within
his power. It is said that Strain broke
down again and wept pitifully.
It is also said that the wife of the
negro sent a photograph of her hus-
band, John Witt, to the owner of the
house on East Cleveland, in which Mr.
and Mrs. Strain had lived and wrote
that Mrs, Strain was the woman who
had been trying to break up her home
for years. The negro woman stated
in her letter that she had nine child-

a plea, begging the people .of Guthrie
to do something to get her husband to
come back to her in Kansas.
List Sunday two or three^
Of younff folks went six or eight miles
southwest on Otter creek, for a picnic.
Lots of good things were taken along
to eat, and several bamboo poles were
taken along to keep the fish away. The
young people had a good time, as young
people always do. They talked, they
laughed, they sang, and they rowed In a
boat. One of the young men who was
more skillful than the others, in doing
a little standing up stunt in the rear
of the boat, lost his balance and plung-
ed unceremoniously Info the stream.
The water wasn t very cold and Harry
rescued himself without much difficulty,
but the boat dipped lots of water and
and one of the girls got badly soiled be-
fore they got to shore.
But it wasn't all so funny. Miss Vera
Funk, unskilled in handling firearms,
picked up a rifle that she found lying
on the bank, and started out to hunt
bear, a la Roosevelt. She didn't kill
the bear, but she did succeed, after
careful maneuvering, in shooting a hole
through her foot. But Miss Vera dldn t
faint, she is a Marshall girl and Mar-
shall girls can't do such foolishness.
She Jubt laughed because It was so
funny and then she cried because It
wans't so funny. She is getting along
nicely and doesn't propose to be an In-
valid any longer than she just has to.

not take a fellow she must take a pie.
When it came time to eat, the girls
who had taken fellows decided that
the pie girls had all the best of It. and
wished they could trade their beaus

have been willing to give a little
