LOVE
Often leads to pov-
erty. No real
woman ever sold
her heart for the
luxuries of life.
But many a woman who has gladly faced
poverty for the man she lovea, may well
doubt her wisdom when pain becomes
the mate of poverty. If sue were rich,
she thinks, she could find a way of cure.
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is
within the reach of every tjne. It lifts
the burden of pain which weighs down
those who suffer from womanly diseases.
It establishes regularity, dries weaken-
ing drains, heals inflammation an.i ul-
ceration aud curcs female weakness.

Crops of all kinds, except wheat,
were never so promising and everybody

socialists, who seem to be dissatisfied
with everything, but as they have al-
most to a man drifted from the demo-

the sympathy of a fair minded public.

city and the funeral will take place
here when the body arrives, which it
is expected will be some time next

painful one to them. It was sup-
posed that he was in the employ of
the American Trading company in the
Philippines and was not in actual ser-
vice. He enlisted in the army in this
city on the 29Lh of January, 1903.

Special Dispatch to the State Capital.
Oklahoma City, June 15.—Visitors
here from the new country say that
wheat harvest Is now on in full swing

50 per cent. It is said that the straw
is short, but the* heads are well filled
and large. Recent wind and rain
storms, together with the hail, have
ruined many acres of the cereal that
can not be used for anything except
feed.

Cancerous Ulcers
ROOTED IN THE BLOOD-
After the age of 45 or 50, when the vital powers are
naturally weaker, it is noticed that a hurt of any kind
heals slowly, and often a very insignificant scratch or
bruise becomes a bad ulcer or sore. At this time of life * j
warty growths, moles and pimples that have tieen on the I
body almost from birth begin to inflame and fester, and
before very long are large eating, sloughing ulcers.
Whenever a sore or ulcer is n
slow in healing then you may praise your great med|0ct|M?l^Va!f0*n ore0on''mv

haps the beginning of Cancer. These old sores are rooted in the blood, and
while washes, soaps, salves, etc., keep the surface
clean, they are not healing. A blood medicine to
purify and strengthen the polluted blood, and a tonic
to build up the general system is what is needed, and
S. S. S. is just such a remedy. No poison is so pow-
erful and no germ so deadly that tins great vegetable blood remedy cannot

SYSTEM OF TAXATION
DR. HOLLANDER WILL INVESTI-
GATE IN TERRITORY.
Special Dispatch to the State Capital.
Ardmore, I. T., June 15.—Secretary of
the Interior Hitchcock has appointed
Dr. Jacob H. Hollander, professor of
political economy and finance at John
Hopkins University, special agent on
taxation 1n Indian Territory, to inves-
tigate the practicability of providing a
system of taxation which will main-
tain the public schools and at. the same
time serve as a basis of a future gener-
al revenue system. The appointment
was one of the results of the recent
Inspection of the public service in the
territory. It Is expected that Prof. Hol-
lander will soon visit the different
nations.
Secretary Hitchcock will probably
recommend to congness legislation
which will meet, the requirements of
the people regarding public schools.
The special agent's report will proba-
bly be tho basis for asking congress
to make adequate provision for schools.
It is found that the appropriation made
hy congress recently for t.he improve-
ment of the tribal schools will be of
little advantage to white children, and
throughout the country districts a gen-
eral system of schools lfl badly needed.
