statement of Mrs Freemanbe and
faatily were :<aded ic a wagon and
braafht to the edge of towc asd .0-

rived ic Tahlequah their tent wa-
pitched in tbe edge of the woods acd
tbeir oiriy bedstead set up and Free-
mas placed on it His eetdfcos was
pre«ario.s and his vf could cot leave
bica to aolicit alms. Tney had nothing
to eat aod only two or three of the *ix
children were large enough to send for
anytblcg. So tbe eight people re-
tnatced there in a 10x12 tent daring the
storm of Sunday night, with nothing to
eat and ail their electa and apparel
dreocbed by tbe raia. Monday the
children *occ;eded in begging a few
morse.* but did not know eno Jgh to at-
tract tomeone to their abode so that
people with a feeling for tbeir fellow-
man might view tbe awful horror* of
tbe scene and extend theci aid befitting
a human. Tuesday the Seminary pu-
pils learned that the people were in
destitute circumstances, and fed tbe
children. Tbey also made the fact
known to others, and more substantial
aid was extended. But alas, too late,
for on Wednesday at noon the poor
man, husband and father, was fouod
dying, and no one present but his frail
and helpless wife. He was buried by
the city Wednesday afternoon, and tbe
charitable ladies of the city took
charge of the widow and orphans, and
fed and clothed tbem. Tbey are now
cotily domiciled on north Main street.

Emulsion
>f Cod Liver Oil is the means
of life, and enjoyment of life to
thousands: men women and
children.
When appetite fails, it re-
store® it. When food is a
burden, it lifts the burden.
When you lose flesh,it brings
the plumpness of health.
When work is hard and
duty is heavy, it makes life
bright.
It is the thin edge of the
wedge; the thick end is food,
but what is the use of food,
when you hate it, and can't di-
gest it?

you forget your stomach.

In the removal from Tahlequah of
Prof. Chas. A. Peterson the town will
loee one of its best citizens: the church

placed. Indeed Tahlequah need? ixiore
men like Prof. Peterson and P«ev.
Walter J. Pack—men of convictions,
of opiiiione and a will to do the right
regardless of what scornere may say-
men who have honor—men who will
not lie.
