APainless Cure of Curable Pain
Never resign yourself to suffer pain. Women's
pains are curable. They are the sign of dangerous
conditions of the female organs, which should be
promptly attended to or dangerous results will follow.

"WITHOUT A PAIN,"
writes Mary E. Sheltcn, of Poptai
Bluff, A\o., " I can do my housework,
although, before taking CARDUI, tv. o
doctors had done me no good. I can
truthfully say I was cured by Cardui.
I want every suffering lady to know uf
this wonderful medicine."
Statehood or Bust!
Editors of Indian territory newspa-
pers are sounding a thousand strings
to stir the lawmakers of the country
to the enactment of a hill giving
statehood to tfie two territories. In
a Fourth of July editorial Clarence
Douglas said lately in his Muskogee
Phoenix: "The day is almost here
when throughout the United States
patriotic citizens will gather togeth-
er and in a fitting manner observe
the nation's birthday. The flap of
our great country will be fiung to the
hree/.e and every star thereon receive
a new baptism of loyalty and pat riot-
ism. The immortal Declaration of
Independence will be listened to by
thousands as it is read and amid the
boom of cannon, martial music and
fervid oratory July 4 will he joyously
celebrated. How different all of this
to the conditions existing in the In-
dian territory. Peopled by 1 million
American citizens, bounded on all
sides by great commonwealths, situ-
ated in the heart of the United
States, no star gleams for us upon
the azure tield of our country's flag,
and it sometimes seems as if oil that
tlag, and all it stands for in political
freedom, political rights and political
protection, we have no place. For us
the constitution and what ti guaran-
tees does not apply. For us the De-
claration of Independence is a mean-
ingless jumble tof sentences not in-
tended for our weeds or purposes.
Though the constitution may follow
the tlag to the far off Philippines, it
is made inoperative here. Taxation
without representation, governmental
rule from 1,500 miles distant, by per-
sons in whose selection we have no
vote, are our port ion, and our country
is made a dumping ground for politi-
cians who bankrupt in promises to
their henchmen in the states inflict
them on us as rulers to carry out the
distasteful, un-American orders of
a deskocraey at Washington. It
seems to matter not that we are
children of the government, t hat our
progress here is the marvel of all
men, that, we are of the people from
whom came the heroes of San Juan
hill and other fields w here men count.
It matters not that some of our cities
have more population than some
states of the Union, that we are lib-
erty loving loyal Americans. What
wonder then that on the nation's
natal day enthusiasm is chilled and
oratory stilled; what wonder t hat sad-
dened men and women see no new
glory in the flag on that day. which i
most of all days, reminds them of i
their political orphanage, and which |
emphasizes their wrongs and those j
tilings dearest to the heart of all
Americans, of which they are de-'
privedy The strain of loyalty broke j
in Boston bay before it reached the j
limit submitted to by tlie people of J
this territory and it is proof positive,
of the highest type of citizenship and
loyalt y that another tea party has I
not been witnessed in this govern-!
ment-forgotten and nation-neglected
spot."

It Pays to Advertise.
When James Gordon Bennett, the
elder, was editor of the Herald,
Robert Bonner, publisher of the New
York Ledger, was st niggling to build
up its circulation, and decided to try
a little advertising, lie wrote an ad-
vertisement consisting of eight words:
"Read Mrs. Southworth's New story
in the Ledger," and sent it to the
Herald marked for "one line." Mr.
Henner'shandwriting was so bad that
tlie words were read in the Herald
office as "one page." Accordingly
the line was set up and repeated so
as to occupy one entire page. Mr.
Bonner was thunderstruck the next
morning. He had not to his name
money enough in the bank to pay
the bill. He rushed excitedly over to
the Herald office, but was too late to
do auy good.
In a short time the results of the
page announcement began to be felt.
Orders for the Ledger poured in until
the ent ire edition was exhausted and
another one was printed. The suc-
cess of the Ledger was then estab-
lished. Ever after that time Mr.
Bonner was an ardent believer in ad-
vertising and a liberal purchaser of
space.
A Safe Proposition.
We will teach any one with an or-
dinary common school education who
will do good average work to write
legibly 150 words of shorthand, un-
familiar matter, to the minute in
three months, or make no charge for
the course. This speed will no only
enable him to do office correspond-
ence, but court reporting. WTe will
make any one a present of a scholar-
ship who will find any other school
using any other system of shorthand
that will do this Any one not satis-
tied at the completion of the course
that the Byrne Simplified Shorthand
is what we claim for it can get every
oentot' his tuition back by presenting
to the office a written statement to
that effect.
Our course of Bookkeeping. Busi-
ness Training and Penmanship is
just as thorough and practical and as
far ahead of the systems used in oth-
er schools as is the Byrne Simplified
Shorthand. These thorough practic-
al systems and up-to-date methods of
teaching are responsible for the ex-
ceeding large enrollment we have
had during the past month.

lege, Guthrie, Okla., for large, illus-
trated free catalogue, and make your
arrangements to enter at the earliest
possible date. Our worthy graduates
are holding excellent position. What
they are doing, you can do if you will
take a course with us.

Flesh Diet.
The human is after all carnivorous
animal: not only will he eat an oyster
whole and devour a dried herring
that has had no great care in its
dressing, but upon occasion lie will
not hesitate to satisfy the pang of
hunger by canine cutlets or mule
hash. It is no uncommon tiling for
besieged armies to strengthen them-
selves by rations of the tiesh of any
convenient animal. The Russians
used horse and mule "beef" at the
siege of Port Arthur, while dogs were
often so used in Civil war, A man
convicted some years ago of killing and
and party devouring his companion,
may be still in the state prison in a
neighboring state.
The custom of eating liorse-llesJh
must be largely a matter of education,
training, and association. Many of
the poorer classes in France and Ger-
many today use this diet,—for in-
stance. it has become necessary In
Paris to pass a Maw that every shop
where such meat is sold shall an-
nounce the fact by a notice placed in
a conspicuous position, and in ihe
city of Berlin alone there are sixty
meats!tops where nothing but horse-
flesh is sold'
In fact, one need not go far from
his door in many fit ies to see baskets
of crawfish, "craw-dads" the vendors
cry them, which are plunged alive
into lioiliiig water without previous
preparation, after having been caught
from some neighboring "slough" or
(Kind.
Diet is, after all, largely a matter
of education, as well as taste. The
man who subsisted on "locust and
wild honey" has not, it is true, many
modern imitators as to his Insectiv-
orous habit, but it must not be for-
gotten thai some years ago when
that winged devourer of the crops
overspread the west, a company of
ambitious scientists met about a
table in St. Louis and ate grasshop-
pers in fried, baked, boiled, stewed
preparations and even in t lie form of
pies! However, as they probably se-
lected the seven-year kind, il may lie
thought that the market could be
too easily cornered for grasshoppers
to become a popular diet.
HONOR A MICHIGAN LADY.
She is Allowed to Name the
Newest Oklahoma Town.
One of the party of'liomeseekers
who went west, on the Hook Island
April 18th, was Mrs. Anna Curtis,
who had the honor of naming the
newest Oklahoma town -Plainwell
Oklahoma. She was formerly of the
beautiful little city of Plainwell,
Mich., and the "News" of that place
under date of April 4th containes
the following with regard to the lady
and the new home of her adoption:
"Another Plainwell. Twenty
miles from Guyman, in Oklahoma,
now located a brand-new town which
bears the name of Plainwell. This
distinction is due to a lady who was
one of the first settlers and to whom
was given the right to name the
city. Mrs. Anna Curtis some months
ago took up a homestead claim of
loo acres, and the majority of the
surrounding claims were secured by
a real estate tirm of Guyman. When
laying out the claims in town lots
they gave Mrs. Curtis, who Is the on-
ly woman possessing a claim there,
the privilege of naming the town.
"Not only was the name Plainwell
selected because of sentiment, but it
decidedly appropriate, the lands be-
ing of plains and the government
wells situated within a mile. Mrs.
Curtis left for her new home April
I8th, and upon her arrival took pos-
session of a wayside inn that has
been built for her. She will conduct
this on the restaurant p'anand will
also run a small grocery. Mrs. Curtis
expects to be appointed postmistress,
as a petition signed by almost all the
settlers has been forwarded to Wash-
ington asking that she may be ac-
corded the apoointment."
For Baby's Sake
"1 will do all a mother should do.
I am not a drunken woman at any
time, but I'll quit drinking every
thing but water if you will only let
my baby stay with me."
Thus pleaded a mother in a Chica-
go court. She clasped in her arms a
3-year-old baby wl o clung about the
mother's /ieck.
Touched by the mother's pleading,
the J udge said, "for the sake of the
baby" he would give her a chance.
"Only let the baby stay with me."
She touched the right spot, in the
Judg's heart heart, and revealed the
motor power of human life.
What touches and moves us all?
Dollars? No.
Ideals? No.
Success? No.
That which Jkeeps the race alive
and makes life possible is the prime-
val, deep-seated, inextinguishable
love for the child
We live, move and have our being
for the sake of the babies. Out of
the mouths of babes and sucklings
strength is ordained,
"And a little child shall lead
ti lem."
Not A Faction.
The Pawhuska Capital most truly
says:—"A dispatch from Oklahoma
City says the McGuire faction in Ok-
lahoma think it necessary for Mr.
McGuire also to give a banquet. The
fellow that penned that article doesn't
realize that there is no McGuire
"faction" in the republican party.
Delegate McGuire was the regular
party nominee and was elected by a
majority of the voters of Oklahoma.
He stands as the representative of
the,party, and the Republican party
isi not a "faction." If there are any
who are not for McGuire this term
can be properly applied to them. We
will wager however, that Mr. Mc-
Guire holds no banquet, for the sim-
ple reason, if for no other, that there
Is no city in Oklahoma large enough
to accommodate all the friends and
supporters of Mr. McGuire."
ASYLUM BOARD MEETS.
Select Steward. Twd Physicians
and Adopt I'lsne.
Guthrie, Okla.. The board of trus-
tees of the Oklahoma hospital for the

son, Otto A. Shut tee of Enid and E.
B. Marchant of Aline, met yesterday
all day in the office of Governor Fer-
guson. C. G.Elliot, of Fort Supply,
superintendent of the sanitarium, and
Architect S. A. Layton of El lieno
met with the board, and the plans
and specilications of Mr. I.ayton were
looked over and discussed by the
board, afterwards adopting them and
authorising the secretary to advert ise
for bids for the repairing and remod-
eling of Fort Supply for the occupan-
cy of the sanitarium. The bids w ill
be opened at the next meeting, held
Jury 14th. The plans and specifica-
tions are made in such a way that
bidders can put in their bids for any
one part of the work, or can put in a
bid for the entire contract. The
plans include a lighting system, heat-
ing system, waterworks system, ice
plan* and remodeling the barracks
into wards.
The board yesterday appointed 15.
E. Richards of Woodward as steward;
of the sanitarium. Mr. Richard's ap-
plication was signed by over a bun-;
dred of the most prominent men of,
the territory, and he will act as pur-
chasing agent. The law calls upon1
him to also do tli stenographic and
bookkeeping work.
Two assistant physicians were ap-
pointed Dr. W. W. Itucks of Guth-
rie and Dr. G. W. Griffin of Norman.
Both had strong recommendations
and are known to be excellent physi-
cians.
ENDEAYORERS MEET.
Resolutions Favor Statehood
And Prohibition Clause.
The Christian Endeavor convention
comprising 500 delegates from Okla-
homa and Indian Territories, closed
at Shawnee last week after a three
.dayssession. Prominent among the
out-of-state participants in the pro-
ceedings were Dr. John F. Cowen, of
Boston, and Rev. A. E. Weston, of
New Jersey.
Dr. Francis Clark of Boston, the
founder of the Christian Endeavor
society, who was to have been in at-
tendance. was unavoidably detained
on account of serious illness.
The convention adopted strong i\ s-
olutions favoring immediate state-
hood, with a prohibition clause, and
elected the following officers for the
coming year: President, Rev. Balph
Lamb of Noweta, 1 T.: vice presi-
dent, Mrs W. C. lioe of Colony, Ok.:
treasurer, Richard Harper of Darling-
ton,• 1. T.: junior superintendents for

lahoma City: for Indian Territory,
Miss Hinds of South McAlester: tield
secretary, Miss Mary F. Lawson of
El Reno, Ok.
South McAlester was selected for
the next annual convention.
Jet Visitor—The Enid Events ~
publishing a series of cartoons on the
mail order business which aptly ap-
ply to the practice of patronizing
such firms and the unhealthful results
of it. In last week's Issue the illus-
trat ion presented a farmer feeding
milk to a large fat hog which repre-
sented the mail order house, while a
number ef small lean ones represent-
ing home industries, churches, local
improvements, good roads and schools,
were barred from the trough by a
partition of unintentional discrimina-
tion. The large mail order hog was
also supported by a prop of deceptive
values, it, was clearly a pertinent
illustration and worthy of the care-
ful study of all consutnees.
Carrier Record: S. S. Carrier will
leave Sunday for Springfield, Mo.,
where he has bought property, Mrs.
Carrier, who is at present in Inde-
pendence, Mo., will meet him there
very soon, and they will make their
home there in the future. There is
room for hope, however, that the at-
tract ion of Oklahoma will prove so
strong that we may see M r. and M rs
Carrier in our midst again.
Prof. Staid, of the Guthrie State
Capital, was an Enid visitor Saturday.
Stalil is as fat and sassy as ever, but
he must not believe everything any-
body and everybody tells him.
