TO MY MANY FRIENDS AND CUSTOMERS:
I want to thank you one and all for your liberal patronage given
me in the past year and I hope to share more of your valued trade
this year than ever before. I was never more able to serve you than
I will be this season. My stock was never more complete than it is
now. I carry everything the farmer needs in Dry Goods, Boots,
Shoes, Hats, Clothing, Groceries, Hardware, Harness, Saddles, Imple-
ments and Wagons. I also carry all kinds of Feed and if you need
corn to make your crop, I will be glad to furnish you.
Remember, I carry everything you need. If you haven't been a
customer of mine and will give me a chance, I will make you one if fair
and honest dealings will do it. I have no shoddy, bankrupt stocks
to sell you; nothing but new, fresh goods and the best brands of
everything, and as low as they can be sold either for cash or credit.
If you need anything for cash or credit, call and see me.
Yours very truly,
R. L. FREEMAN.
Head Cut Off By Engine.
The Hesperian says:
"John Norman, who worked on
the extra gang in the territory,
came to Gainesville Friday night
with about thirty.Pve others. The
gang of men were on their way to
Blum, where the Santa Fe ia im-
proving its track. Noonan, with
many others of the men, took ad-
vantage of the time and place and
got drunk, and after carousing un-
til a late hour crawled under the
platform at Patrick <fc Keel'j grain
house and went to sleep. At 5
o'olock yesterday morning the
switch engine set some cars in on
the siding and it is thought the
noise awakened Noorian. He
started to crawl out just as the
engine came by. His head was
cut off clfnn and picked up at
least ten leet from the body. His
left hand was hanging by a small
piece of skin.
Noonan was picked up and taken
to the undertakers, where the body
was prepared for burial.
Justice Bush held an inquest
and rendered a verdict in accord-
with the above facts."

In the duel between Baron
Rothschild and Count Lubersao, at
Paris, the cable informs us that the
sleeves of the dueliBte were "liter-
ally slashed to pieces by the points
of the swords" and yet only one of
them was wounded. Seems to
have betn merely a sleeve cutting
affair.
Pepsin preparations often fail to
relieve indigestion because they
can digest only albuminous foods.
There is one preparation that di-
gests all classes of food, and that is
Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. It cures
the worst cases of indigestion and
gives inBtant relief, for it digests
what you eat. City Drug Store.

The Rev. Charles M. Sheldon
will use $2,500 of his share of the
profits of the Sheldon edition of
the Topeka Capital for the con-
struction of an addition to Christ
hospital, in Topeka. Work will be
commenced in the spring. Mr,
Sheldon used $1,000 of his Sheldon
edition money for an emergency
hospital at the city jail, $1,000 for
improvements in Tennesseetown
and $500 for a drinking fount.
Reconsidered.
A Topeka man lost a small opal
set out of his ring and went to the
jeweler to have it replaced. Re-
turning home he found the lost set
and putting it in his mouth lor
safe keeping, hurried back to the
jeweler's to have that set used in-
stead of the new opal. Rushing
into the store he said: "Say I've
found the old set, so don't use that
new one." He attempted to remove
the stone from liis mouth, gave a
gulp, looked Bheepish, and said: "I
guess you'll have to use that new
stone."
That man needed a bottle of Dr.
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. Sold by
Palace Drug Store.
Great Britain will probably ne-
ver have another Monarch who
will reign as long as Victoria did,
and will certainly never have one
more beloved, not only by her sub-
jects but by people in all parts of
the world.
HOW TO GET A CLAIM.
DeWitt, la.
Pepsin Syrup Co.
Gents:—I cannot recommend Dr.
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin to highly.
It has been a great benefit to me.
Very truly. Ray Buckley.
Sold by Palace Drug Store.
Mr. Jaa. A. Morris, an attorney
of Chickasha, has proposed the
following very plain ruleB and in *
structions aB to how a claim may
be entered in the Kiowa and Com-
anche country and states who is
entitled to take them. ThiB con-
tains all the information that is
needed by any person who contem-
plates acquiring a homestead in
that country which is in the
Southwestern part of Oklahoma:
Every person who is the head of
a family, or who has arrived at the
age of twenty-one years, and is a
citizen of the United States, or
who haB filed his Declaration of
Intention to become such and who
is not the proprietor of 160
acres of land in any state or
territory may make a homestead
entry.
A married man whether under
or over 21 years of age may make
homestead entry.
A single man or woman 21 years
of age, may make homestead entry.
A single person of either sex,
under 21 years of age, who sup-
ports dependant relatives, may
mako homestead entry as the head
of a family.
A married woman who is desert-
ed by her husband, though not di-
vorced, may make homestead entry.
A married woman whose hus-
band iB insane, or from disease and
infirmity is permanently incapaci-
tated to support the family, may
make homestead entry aB the head
of family.
A divorced woman may make
homestead entry.
A widow woman may make
homestead entry.
Any person who having attempt-
ed to but for any cause failed to
secure a title in fee to a homestead
under existing laws or who made
entry under what is known as the
commuted provision of -the home-
stead, may make homestead entry
in the Kiowa and Comanche coun-
try,
The widow of a soldier, or in
case of her death or remarriage,
hie children by guardian,may make
filing and entry, subject to the
same conditions that the soldier
might have made them. Every
applicant must swear that since
August 30, 1800, he haB not entered
under the land laws of the Uuited
States, or filed upon, a quantity of
agricultural land, which with the
tract he Beeks to enter, would make
more than 320 acreB.
No porson who has ever obtained
title to 100 acres of land under the
homestead laws, (except by Com-
mission), can make another home-
stead entry.
A married woman who lives
with her husband cannot make a
homestead entry.
HOW TO TAKE A CLAIM.
No lawful filing, entry or settle-
ment can be made until the land
is opened to settlement, but after
it is opened, there are two wayB to
take a claim: You may go directly
to the United States Land Office,
without going upon the land,and by
presenting the proper entry papers
(which you should have already
prepared) to the register, and pay-
ing the receiver $14.00, your home-
stead entry will be made of reoord,
and the receiver will give you his
receipt showing the fact.
In pursuing this course you
must be sure that no one has set-
tled upon that land before you
make your entry, for if a home-
steader haB settled upon the land,
you will not only lose it but will
lose your homestead right. After
making your entry at the Land
Office you will have six months in
which to establish your residence
in a house upon the land.
A soldier can either make hie
complete entry in person, as above
indicated, or he may in person or
by attorney file Ilia declaratory
statement by paying the land office
a fee of $2.00 and then within six
months complete his entry by fil-
ing the necessary additional papers
and paying $14.00 more to the re-
ceiver. In either case he has Bix
months in which to establish a
residence and commence improve-
ments.
If you do not wish to go to the
Land Office and make entry, you
may go upon the land in person
and make iettlement by placing
thereon Bom i kind of substantial
improvement with intent to appro-
priate the land. Your settlements
must be followed up by residence
and cultivation within a reasonable
time. In pursuing this course you
must not be the first settler upon
the land, but you muBt make your
settlement before any other person
enters the land at the Land Office.
You must apply at the United
States Land Office to enter the
land within three months from the
date of your settlement.
The Free Homestead law does
not apply to the Kiowa, Apache
and Comanche country, and home
steaders must decide upon the land
at least 14 months before they can
prove up, and must pay $1.25 per
acre for the land.
To Whom It May Concern!
We wish to notify the citizens of
this country that we have secured
the agency for Dr. Caldwell's Syr-
up Pepsin, the great cure for con-
sumption, indigestion, sick head-
ache and stomach trouble, and
guarantee it to do aB recommended.
We always keep the best drugs on
hand and solicit a call, promising
the very best of everything.
Yours Truly,

Crocker Pays Income Tax.
London, Jan. 26.— (Copyright,
1900 by the New York Herald Co.)
— Rather than make the source
and amount ot his income public,
Richard Crocker, the Tammany
leader, has, according to the Ex-
press, paid £a,000 made by the
Wantage Commissioners. The
mystery of Crocker's disappear-
ance for the last five weeks of 15)00
has been solved. He was at Moat
House, Wantago, all the time, tak-
ing rest. His secret was splendid-
ly kept. While the foreign health
resorts were being ransacked the
boss was passing his time in quite
at Wantage.
Chicago-Florida and Chicago-
California railroads are engaged in
a war of rates, the benefit of which
goes to the Iwealtby tourists, who
do not need the money it will save
them. Such is life, The price of
things we must buy are seldom cut.

P/lr. Bryan's Paper.
"The Commoner," with William
Jennings Bryan as editor, publish-
er and pilot, has been launched on
the journalistic sea.
The edition consisted of 50,000
copieB.
Mr. Bryan iB well pleased with
the prospects and expects a regular
issue of 100,000 within a few
months. Last night Mr. Bryan
fed the first 20 paper into the preBB.
One of the workmen had pinned
an apron about the editor and
when he mounted the feed board
the throng of several hundred
persons who had crowded into the
room to witness the proceedings
cheered as hesrtily as if he were
making a campaign speech.
After the papers were printed he
ran them through a folder and
then distributed the 20 among
personal friends, with his autho-
grapb at the top, preserving, how-
ever, the first copy for himself.
The publisher does not intend to
make The Commoner in any sense
a general newspaper. It will re-
flect the !dr.,s of i'd editor on social, t
political and economic questions.
He hopes to discuss these questions
in such a manner as to afford a
permanent field for his paper.
The first issue contained eight
pages, each three columns wide.

Abe Mulkey, the noted revival-
ist, is holding iorth at Davis. By
the time Rev, Mulkey works Davis

the truly good Texas people who
come to this country—for a time
at least.
