HIDDEN DANGERS.
Nature Gives Timely Warnings That
No Norman Citizen Can
Afford to Ignore.
DANGER SIGNAL NO. 1 comes
from the kidney secretions. They will
warn you when the kidneys are sick
Well kidneys excrete a clear, amber
fluid. Sick kidneys send out a thin,
pale and foamy, or thick, red, ill-
smelling urine, full of sediment and
irregular of pasage.
DANGER SIGNAL NO. 2 comes
from the back. Back pains, dull and
| heavy, or sharp and acute, tell you of
; sick kidneys and warn you of the ap-
I proach of dropsy, diabetes and
I Bright's disease. Doan's Kidney Pills
| cure sick kidneys and cure them per-
manently. Here is proof in the state-
ment of a nearby resident.
E. B. Rose, Oklahoma City, Okla.,
says: "Seven years ago I used Doan's
Kidney Tills and they helped me so
greatly that I gave a public testimon-
ial in their favor. I suffered intensely
from kidney trouble. My back pained
me a great deal and the passages of
the kidney secretions were at times
so frequent as to be annoying. Doan's
Kidney Pills helped me beyond my
expectations, bringing entire relief.
Since then 1 have recomended this
remedy to many of my friends who
have also used it and received the
same great benefit."

Ferris States Views On Tariff Bill.
Representative Scott Ferris has
some well defined ideas as to what
the Payne tariff bill should contain.
Among other things he says:
"I believe we should remove the
duty from all lumber. It ,would en-
courage home builders, conserve the
rapidly disappearing forests and will
curb the lumber trust which has sap-
ped the life out of the development
work of the country.
"I believe that all agricultural im-
plements should be admitted free of
duty to this country, in order to en-
courage the American farmer, who
works longer hours for less money
than any other class of people or
profession in the United States.
"I believe in free boots and shoes,
for that«would curb the leather trust.
For Free Wood Pulp.
"Free wood pulp and print paper
would make school books cheaper for
school children, and make books and
news publications of easier access to
the proper classes,, thereby spreading
greater knowledge. This would in a
measure strike at the paper trust.
"Tariff so long as it does not inter-
fere with competition and so long as
it is not prohibitive is levied for
the support and maintenance of the
government, is proper and right, and
is advocated by the people. But leg
islation which takes money out of
the pockets of thousands of consum-
ers and puts it into the pockets of a
few trusts, made possible by a high
protective tariff on certain articles
not for revenue, but to prohibit com-
petition, should not be tolerated.
Will Try to Amend.
If the gag rules of the speaker
give me an opportunity, I shall offer
amendments to the Payne bill to se-
cure the ends above mentioned. I
want the people to know who stands
in with the trusts.
"The Payne bill does not keep
faith with the pledge of the republi
can party for a reduction in tariff, for
it raises the present tariff an average
of 1 5-6 per cent."

In Five Minutes.
Take your sour stomach—or maybe
you call it Indigestion, Dyspepsia,
Gastritis or Catarh of Stomach; it
doesn't matter—take your stomach
trouble right with you to your phar-
macist and ask him to open a 50-
cent case of Pape's Diapepsfn and
let you cat one 22-grain Triangule
and see if within five minutes there
is left any trace of your stomach
misery.
The corect name for your troubK
is Food Fermentation—food souring;
the Digestve organs become wvak.
there is lack of gastric juice; your
food is only half digested, and your
become affected with loss of appe-
tite, pressure and fullness after eating,
vomiting, nausea, heartburn, griping
in bowels, tenderness in the pit of the
stomach, pain in limbs, sleeplessness,
belching ofgas, dizziness, and many
other similar symptoms.
If your appetite is fickle, and noth-
ing tempts you, or you belch gas or
if you feel bloated after eating, or
your food lies like a lump of lead on
your stomach, you can make up your
mind that at the bottom of all this
there is but one cause—fermentation
of undigested food.
Prove to yourself, after your next
meal, that your stomach is as good as
any; that there is nothing .really
wrong. Stop this fermentation and
begin rating what you want without
fear of discomfort or misery.

Attorney General Congratulated.
Guthrie, Okla., March 27.—Hon.
Charles West, attorney general, is in
receipt of a letter from Edgar A.
Bancroft, one of the most noted cor
poration attorneys of Chicago, which
is printed below. The letter clearly
shows that the judiciary of Okla
houia is fast gaining a reputation all
over the Union for ts progressive in-
terpretation of law, particularly is
this true in the handling of all cor-
poration matters. The letter is as fol-
lows :
"Dear Mr. West;
"I have just read with the greatest
interest the opinion of your supreme
court in the lumber, cola and eleva-
tor cases (99 pac. 911) 1 congratulate
you on this victory, not so much be-
cause you have won as because you
have made some new, sound law on
the monopoly question. 1 know of
no recent anti-trust opinion that is
so clear and well reasoned as that
of Judge Dunn. It goes without say-
ing that precedent the opinion there
was strong and exhaustive argument
on behalf of the teritory.
1 am particularly interested in this
opinion because it is a further step
toward the practical regulation not
jnly of monopolistic combinations,
but also of the large corporations
that are generally feared and assail
ed irrespective of their conduct. This
opinion makes conduct and cffect the
test precisely as they were at com-
mon law.
"When questions are thus consid-
ered, you are dealing in definite lan-
guage and established standards,
whereas, in most of the "trusts"
prosecutions, the decisions there is
merely the application of absolutely
all-comprehending prohibitons to all
transactions, which in anywise effect
compensation.
"There seems to be a very marked
tendency at present towards this ra-
tional view of 'trust problem' which
I believe you were the first official
to express and elucidate."
REGENTS MEET TODAY.
Governor Haskell Will Be Present.—
Faculty Will Be Chosen For
Next Year.—But Few
Changes Expected.
Governor Haskell will meet with
the Board of University Regents
here today and tomorrow to discuss
future plans of the University and
elect the faculty for next year. It is
likely that a few changes will be
made.
IMie University of Oklahoma has
done splendid work this year not-
withstanding the crowded condition
The buildings are inadequate and a
determined effort will be made* to
have better accommodations at the
beginning of the next term. The
citizens of Norman welcome Gover-
nor Haskell to our city and hope
that his visit will be a pleasant one.
Print by Request.
Mix the following by shaking well
in a bottle, and take in teaspoonful
doses after meals and at bedtime:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. A local druggist i? the au-
thority that these simple, harmless
ingredients can be obtained at nomi-
nal cost from our home druggist.
The mixture is said to cleanse and
strengthen the clogged and inactive
Kidneys, overcoming Backache, blad
der weakness and Urinary trouble o
all kinds, if taken before the stage of
Bright's disease.
Those wholi ave tried this say it
positively overcomes pain in the back,
clears the urine of sediment and reg-
ulates urination, especially at night,
curing even the worst forni> of blad
der weakness.
Every man or woman here win
feels that the kidneys are not strong
or acting in a healthy manner should
mix this prescription at home ami
give it a trial, as it is said to do won-
ders for many persons.
W. B. Anthony Private Secretary.
Governor Haskell on last Friday
appointed Hon. W. B. Anthony as pri-
vate secretary to succeed Joel Sand-
lin, who has been the governor's ;
retary since statehood.
Mr. Anthony serveu in the first ami
second legislature from Stephens
county and was one of the brightest
men inthat august body.
The appointment of Mr. Anthony
i«i eminently satisfactory to tin news
paper men and opecially pleasing to
the people of Cleveland county a-
he is a warm -upporter of the state
University.
Governor Uses Pruning Knife.
The $7,000,000 appropriated by the
second Oklahoma legislature has
been considerably lowered by Gov
crnor Haskell's pruning knife.
The appropriations were too large
tor the young state and the governor
acted accordingly.
While the University appropriation
received a heavy cut, the school ha
more money for the next two years
for maintenance than it has ever had
before. The institution is not crippl
ed but if of course can not advance
as rapidly as if it had plenty of mon
ey. Governor Haskell is acting for
the best interests of the state and
his actions should be given due con-
sideration. Three new normal schools
a university preparatory and several
district agricultural schools have
been located and money appropriat
ed for their maintenance It is to be
deplored that so many schools are
established as it -inily means that
with a multiplicity of educational
institutions none of them can ever
hope to have large appropriations
for their development. The bin mis-
take was made when the territory of
Oklahoma established three normal
schools. One would have been suffi
cient and today there would onlv be
two normals in the state. We be
lieve tha tfuture legislatures will see
the error of the past and regulate
the educational institutions so that
our state will have bigger and bet-
ter schools. The University appro-
priation was cut from $307,(KM) to
$191,000. With the University's share
of section 13 the amount available for
the next two years will be increased
by several thousand dollars.
Have You Registered?
Under the law provision is made
for voters to register the last three
days in the week prior to tin pri
niary election. This year the voter
who failed to register last fall must
register today or tomorrow or he
will be barred from voting. 11 the
voter has changed wards he must
register in the ward which lie re-
sides. Attend to this matter today
so you can vote in the primary and
general election.
Death of Geo. W. Burke.
Mr. Geo. W. Burke, one of our
oldest and most highly respected
citizens passed to the great beyond
Monday morning at 7:15 o'clock at
the age of 70 years and 7 days. The
(funeral services were conduct<-<1 l>\
Rev. Wherry at the Christian church.
Interment took place at the Odd Fel-
lows cemetery. The deceased is sur-
vived by a wife and several grown
children.

claims were allowed.

Abernathy is Still Marshal.
Notwithstanding the howl of the
republican political stomachachers,
John Abernathy, an appointee of
Roosevelt, i> >till holding down tin
office of United States marshal for
the western district ofl OklahoYna.
The attitude of the Oklahoma bunch
shows plainly that their admiration
for Teddy was only skin deep.
It only fair that tin Roosevelt
appointee-- should serve their turn-
out including the present Norman
postmaster. The action of the Okla
homa republican leaders has given
the honest members of the CI. O. P
so sudden a >hock that they will
not recover for ^ome time.
University Architects Are Busy.
President A. Grant Kvans and Sec
retary W. E. Rowsey, returned from
Chicago Sunday where they confcr
red with the architects for the con
struction of the new build
ing and the perfecting of the general
plans for the new bindings.
The architects have their general
plans nearly completed and are mak
ing good progros « n the plans and
specification?, for the new building.
Owing t< so many obstacles com
ing in tin way it is the general opin-
ion now that the hoard of regents
will advertse for bids at the Jum
meeting.
