Special Dispatch to the State Capital.
Muskogee. I. T., Oct. 1.—A new dan-
ger which threatens tho future prosper-
ity of many towns in Indian Territory
that of extending their limits to Include
additions where the growth of towns does
not warant such extensions, was Drought
to the attention of the Dawes commis-
sion yesterday by those who oppose add-
ing lilO acres of land to the town-It. OK
Weleetka. A number of business men o
the place protest that such extension will
: the sale of lots one-half and se-
riously Impede the growth of the town.
Another set of men believes that the
additions should be made to the town-
site. The Dawes commission, In decid-
ing the case, will consider the question
of the effect of the addition of more land
will have on the value Of the property
within "the city limits. Upon the rul-
ing returned by the secretary of the Inte-
rior, based upon the hearing., before the
commission will hinge a precedent which
will be considered in granting or reject-
ing all future applications for additions ;
to townstes. o . I
In the case In question Martha Lowe
and Malinda Fife apply to the commis-
sion to sell 120 acres of their allotments
for additions to the townelte of We-
leetka. Forty acres of this ground Is
the Lowe homestead and she wishes to
sell It for 5ii an acre. She has already
sold 120 acres of her allotment for $15.-
000. If the alienation of the land of the
two Indian women, is granted by the de-
partment the weleetka townrite will eon;
tain 340 acres.-
In the states there Is little chance of
restraining towns from extending fheir
limits abnormal^., but in the terrltorry
where no addition can I"- made without
the consent of th« government for tbe
alienation of the. land, the .interior de-
partment has an" excellent means of
hedging the towns and preventing them
from taking too many additlbns into their
corponute limits
To Choke Off Competition.

Muskogee. I. T.. Oct. 1. -The Standaro
Oil company has taken the tirst step is
a light to shut out competition in the

Independent concern which has begun tbe

clare. however, that the raise in the price

effect upfin their business, as they have
already made contracts for all the crude
product they can handle during tho first

THE ORIGINAL REMENY THAT
SCHOOL CHILDREN.
Every school child should know that baldness is a
cont. gloue 'd f eas6 caused by a microbe. Pro!\
TTnna, of Hamburg, Germany, discovered that dandruff,
itching scalp, falling hair, and final baldness are produc-
ed hy a germ or microbe'that passes from one head
to another, where it burrows into the scalp and by
multiplying and extending deeper and deeper into tho
hair follicles, saps the life of the root hair and produces
baldness.
IT TAKES YEARS
to produce complete ba.dness, for the action of the dan-
druff microbe is not constant in every case. It is govern-
ed by predisposition, by the state of health, by environ-
ment but partleu.arly by the endeavor made to combat
the growth and development of the dandruff microbes
whi<h ran only be destroyed with Newbro's Herpicide.
This new antiseptic scalp germicide is.past the exper-
imental stage. It was made to destroy the germ that
causes dandruff and falling hair, and by coaxing energy
back into the impoverished bulbs, it enables the hair to
grow naturally and luxuriantly. Thousands of letters
from physicians clergymen and la>nien tell the same
Btory of its wonderful tfucccss.

Newbro's Herpicide make it the most delightful and

incurable; save your hair, while you have hair to save.
