JAPANESE ARMY IS
MOVING UP COAST
Tokio, July 28—It is announced at
army headquarters that the Japanese
army on Sakhalin island on the morning
of July 4, without meeting heavy resis
tance from the Russians, commenced
landing in the neighborhood of Alkova,
eight mi'ei north of Alexandrovosk, and
that Alexandrovosk was seized Tuesdaj*.
Local military critics is discussing the
situation in NSrth Korea predict theRus
sians will vigorously defend Kyoug-Che-
nug, to the south of the Tumen river.
This town is regarded as most important
from a strategical standpoint, as it con-
trols Possiet Bay. Kyong- Chenug is
also regarded as the outer line of the de-
fenses of Vladivostok.
Rear Admiral Katacka in reporting the
successful landing of the Japanese* in the
vicinity of Alexandrovosk on Sakhalin
island says that the piers at Alexandra-
vosk Niyomi, and Mukake were found
undestroyed but the enemy had set fire
to Muksmi which is still burning. The
town of Alexandrovosk y,is not burned.
The admiral's report which was receiv-
ed at 7:20 p. m. on July 24, says that the
Japanese flag was hoisted over the gov-
ernment building at Alexandrovosk with
out any loss on the part of the Japanese
COTTON STILL COMES
Despite the fact that the cotton season
in Oklahoma usually closes before March
1, there has been a steady business in
cotton for local buyers this year, and the
last arrivals came today, when twenty
bales were brought in from northwest of
the c'ty. The price is way up and going
higher. The "fool farmer" who held his
cotton last fall when tile price went
down, proved to be wiser than his de-
tractors knew for he has made many a
dollar by his forethought.

lence, torpidity of the liver, constipation
palpitation of the heart, poor blood,
headache and other nervous symptoms,
sallow skin, foul tongue, offensive breath
and a legion of other ailments, is at once
the most widespread and destructive mal
ady among the American people. The
Herbine treatment will cure all these
troubles. 50c bottle. Sold by Owl drug

DEMANDS OF JAPAN
SAID TO DE LIGHT
Washington, July 28—As a clearer idea
is gained of Japan's peace terms, whose
general character was outlined in the as-
sociated press dispatches last night, the
skepticism with which Washington re-
ceived the European repoits that japan
would demand the neutralization of
Vladivostok is lessened. In fact it is
learned that not only is this likely to
constitute one of Japan's demands, but it
will be accompanied by a startling coun-
ter proposal. In effect, according to
seemingly well informed sources. Japan
will propose in'returnjfor the neutraliza-
tion of this last Russian port on the Pa-
cific not to fortify Port Arthur. Should
this information be correct it will change
entirely the view which has prevailed in
official circles that the question of Vladi-
vostok's neutralization gould not reason
ably be made a part of Japan's peace
price. It demonstrated that Port Arthur
was a military blunder, nevertheless,
this great fortification constitutes a tre-
mendous political influence in the far
eastern question and its abandonment as
a stronghold is a concession of such mag
nitude that it is not felt that Russia can
refuse 4o meet it.
On the other hand Japan's sacrifice
would not be as great as would seem at
first glance, because her fortifications on
the Straits of Korea would^offset the loss
of Port Arthur as a strategic point. It is
believed here that the question of Vladi-
vostok will prove to be one of the most
difficult which the conference will face,
es Russia has not concealed her disin-
clination to permit it to enter into the
negotiations. I11 this connection an in-
teresting story is current in diplomatic
circles regarding the selection of Baron
Komura as Japan's chief plenipotentiary.

ADOPTED THE
UNION LABEL

ganizations, the Farmers' Educational
Co operative Association of America, in
session for Oklahoma-Indian Territory

ed a union label must be placed 011 farm

trades unions. This is in substance a
union of the laboring and farming inter-
ests. Any question affecting the right of
a member of either organization must be

ONE DOLLAR SAVED REPRESENTS
TEN DOLALRS EARNED.
The average man does not save to ex-
ceed ten per cent of his earnings. lie
must spend nine dollars in living expens-
es for every dollar saved. That being the
case he cannot be too careful about un-
necessary expenses. Very often a few
cents properly invested, like buying
seeds for his garden, will save several
dollars outlay later on. II is the same in
buying Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy. It costs but a few
cents and a bottle of it in the house often
saves a doctor's bill of several dollars.
For sale, by Owl and Cresent drug

session was distinguished for its hearty

ion, and another meeting will lie held
next Thursday night at which time some
site will be selected and endorsed by the
Chamber of Commerce.
For several years past there has been
in progress a movement of the Kickapoos
to Mexico, where they have settled in
that part of that republic peculiarly
suited to the Indian taste by reasons of
the hunting and fishing to be found there
the Indians having complained that there
were two many houses and consequently
too much civilization in their old home
in this county. This emigration, while
the U. S. government has taken no great
steps to stop it, has not been at all to the
liking of this government and an investi-
gation is now in progress in Old Mexico
which may result in the Mexican gov-
ernment sending the Kickapoos back to
their old homes. Conspiracy against
both governments is hinted at and an in
spector for the United States is at present
in Mexico looking after the case.
Maitiu J. Bentley, of Shawnee, former
Indian agent here at the Indian training
9*hool, is one of the men who is largely-
responsible for the removal of the Indians
to Mexico, he having taken large num-
bers of them from here to that country,
and the government made many attempts
to stop the practice but this far without
avail. Mr. Bentley has always kept clear
ot the government heretofore, but a re
port from Mexico, which cannot be con-
tinued, however, states that he is under
arreikon a conspiracy charge there and
that the Mexican government is taking a
lund 1ti the investigation. Mr. Bentley
is well known in Shawnee and has many
friends here who all discredit the report
of his connection with any illegality, and
who are awaiting advices from Mexico
concerning the affair. At the Indian
school nothing is given out beyond the
fact that Mr. Bentley is being detained
in Mexico, though whether under arrest
or not, is not stated.
