Trouble Promptly.
Here Is a simple home-made mix-
ture as given by an eminent authority
•on Kidney diseases, who makes the
statement in a New York dally news-
paper, that It will relieve almost any
•case of Kidney trouble if taken be-
tore the stage of Dright's disease. He
states that such symptoms as lame

neys to filter and strain from the blood
*nd system all uric acid and foul, de-
composed waste matter, which cause
the afflictions. Try it if you aren't
well. Save the prescription.
DID NOT WANT TO BUY.
The Great Musician Had No Use for
His Production.
A great tenor had been singing for
*ome hours into a phonograph.
"The phonograph," he said, "is a
wonderful thing. It almost realizes
the wish of the Scottish poet, the wish
that we might see ourselves as others
aee us. We can now, at least, hear
ourselves, a thing impossible before.
The phonograph teaches us many val-
uable lessons. When I was in the
army, before I realized the capabilities
■of my voice. I played the flute. A
phonograph salesman brought a
phonograph to my quarters and tried
to sell it to me on the instalment plan.
I was undecided. Finally the man
took out a blank cylinder.
"'See,' he said, rather reluctantly,
Tiere is a blank cylinder. You may
make a record on it, then we will run
it off and you shall hear yourself. It's
costly favor I am doing you, but it
will show you what a fine instrument
this is.'
"I was delighted.
" 'I'll get my flute,' I said. Til play
m flute solo.'
"Well, I played my best into the ma-
chine. It seemed to me that I had
never combined before such feeling
with such accuracy. I was more than
pleased with myself.

Republicans Have Only 21.—The
canvass of the vote on senators and
representatives shows that the Repub-
licans only secured four senators and
seventeen representatives in the state
legislature. The vote from Muskogee,
Wagoner and Okfuskee counties was
not canvassed on account of contests.
The Democrats have a majority in the
legislature even more overwhelming
than they had in the constitutional
convention.
Commission Form Favored. — The
wide-awake citizens of Sulphur are
discussing seriously the advisability
of a commission form of government.
They are determined that the city
government shall be administered in
a business-like manner and that poli-
tics shay be cut out of the municipal
affairs of the city as much as possible.
Steps are being taken to organize a
taxpayers' league for the city and
county.
Auto Goes in Ditch.—Arthur King,
chauffeur of an automobile that was
carrying a load of passengers from
Temple to Walter, was seriously in-
jured and several of the passengers
received slight injuries in a wreck
that occurred between the two towns.
The machine became uncontrolable
and plunged into a deep ravine. King
and the passengers were all dumped
out and the machine was completer
wrecked.
Won't Transfer District. — Gov
Frantz has received a telegram from
the internal revenue commissioner
stating that the Oklahoma district
will not be attached to the Arkansas
district for revenue purposes, but will
remain attached to the Kansas dis
trict. Clerks in the revenue service
protested against removing to the Ar-
kansas district and prominent Repub-
lican leaders, both in Oklahoma and
'Washington, were opposed to the
proposed change.
Officers Refused Bail.—Judge Law-
rence, in the federal court at Tulsa,
denied an appeal from a decision giv-
en three weeks ago in which the
court refused bail on a habeas cor-
pus to C. E. Wilson and" Frank Mc-
Glothlin, deputy United States mar-
shals, indicted for first degree mur-
der for the killing of the Rev. Sylves-
ter Morris. The officers will be com-
pelled to remain in the federal jaii
at Muskogee until their trial, which
may be heard in a state court.
Its Abandonment Opposed. A
movement is on foot among the citi-
zens of El Reno to send a delegation
to Washington to protest against the
abandonment of Fort Reno in March.

OLD SOAKERS
Get Saturated with Caffeine.
When a person has used coffee for a
number of years and gradually de-
clined in health, it is time the coffee
should be left off ln order to see
whether or not it has been the
cause of the trouble.
A lady in Huntsville, Ala., says she
nsed coffee for about 40 years, and for
the past 20 years has had severe
•tomach trouble. "I have been treat-
- j «d by many physicians but all in vain.
Everything failed- to give relief. Was
prostrated for some time, and came
near dying. When I recovered suffi-
ciently to partake of food and drink I
tried coffee again and it soured on mv

of its abandonment. AH three of the
El Reno papers are vigorously op-
posing the national guard. There are
26,000 acres in the reservation. Gen-
eral Bell states that the post will be
given over to the Apache Indians.
Advance Notice Assured. Offi-
cials at the department of justice in
Washington say that the request of
the supreme court judges of Oklaho-
ma will be granted, and that the
president will give due notice in ad-
vance of the date he will promulgate
the Oklahoma constitution. The Ok
lahoma judges said this would be
necessary in order to not mix up the
court business of the territory. While
the president is not there to speak for
himself the attorney general is sure
that he will give at least ten days' no-
tice.

the business of that department is

Faces a Shortage of Coal. _ The
people of Oklahoma are threatened
with a coal famine this winter. With
coal operators refusing to accept or-
ders from the dealers except those
subject to delay, and at the price of
coal on the date of shipment, the out-
look is not encouraging. Domestic
coal is now selling at the mines at
$4.50 and is retailed by local dealers
at $7.50 a ton. The dealers have been
notified that the price will be raised
50 cents a ton within a week and it
is expected before spring coal will be
selling at $8.50 a ton. One year ago
this same coal sold for from $G to
$6.50 a ton.

Williams, of Durant, member-elect of
the Oklahoma supreme court, has
stated that a session of the supreme
court will be held at Guthrie imme-
diately after the inauguration, at
which court dates will be set in the
various districts, with a view of clear-
ing the dockets as early as*possible of
the large number of cases left over by
the federal courts of both territories.
Two hundred cases will be left over
by the Oklahoma territorial supreme
court.

sult of a quarrel between F. E. Towns
and James L. Dock, two musicians in
the band of Golmar Brothers Circus

liam Watson, of Bliss. O. T., has com-
pleted arrangements to go by boat
from Ponca City to the Atlantic

When It Becomes a State. "The
state government will become opera-
tive the very day that the president
issues his proclamation and all state
officers will take their oaths at once,"
says Governor-elect C. N. Haskell.
All inaugural ceremonies will be
postponed until the legislature con-
venes. which will be on the sixteenth
day after the proclamation. I think
everything will be completed and
statehood wjli come about the first
week in November. 1 have not had
time to think much of my appoint-
ments. I have been too busy watch-
ing the canvassing board. I will
make appointments as fast as I can
make up my mind regarding the
large number of applications."
Had Threatened Slayer.—Isom Wll
liams, the half-blood Chickasaw In-
dian who was shot in a salr^n fight
at Norman, died a few hours later.
The trouble which ended ln the kill
ing of Williams began two years ago
when the dead man began paying at-
tentions to Foster's sister. About
six month sago they eloped and were
married. The other morning Wil-
liams went to Norman and made
threats against Foster's life. The
city marshal arrested and disarmed
him of an ugly knife and a Colt's re-
volver. In the afternoon as Foster
and his brpther were standing
against the bar in a saloon Williams
entered and said to Foster's brother.
"I have nothing against you, but I am
going to kill your brother." "Bud Fos-
ter, who was standing near, heard
Williams' threats and instantly pulled
a 38-caliber revolver, firing five
times, three of the charges taking ef
feet.

Experiences, Joys and Sorrows of tha
Human Existence.
The loves and friendships of Indi-
viduals partake of the frail character
of human life, and are brief and un-
certain. The experience of a human
life may be shortly summed up: A
little loving and a good deal of sor-
rowing; some bright hopes and many
bitter disappointments; some gor-
geous Thursdays when the skies are
bright and the heavens blue, when
Providence, bending over us ln bless-
ings, glads the heart almost to mad-
ness; many dismal Fridays, when the
smoke of torment beclouds the mind
and undying sorrows gnaw upon the
heart; some high ambitions and many
Waterloo defeats, until the heart be-
comes like a charnel house filled with
dead affections, embalmed in holy
but sorrowful memories; and then
the chord is loosed, the golden bowl
is broken, the Individual life—a cloud,
a vapor, passes away.—Matthew Hal®
Carpenter.

Asks Pardon for Her Son. — Mrs.
Nannie Reeves, of Tioga, Tex., has
been given a hearing by Gov. Frantz
on her application for a pardon for
her son, Sam Bybee, sent up from
Greer county for five years for cattle
stealing. He has served four years
of his term, and with his good time
allowance has only about eight
months more to serve. Mrs. Reeves

attorney and trial judge on her ap-
plication. The evidence In the case

the stealing of the cattle, although he
admitted slaughtering one of them af-
terward. The men who commttod
the actual theft all went free.
"Upon the limbs and between the
toes my skin was rough and sore, and
also sore under the arms, and I had to
stay at home several times because of
this affection. Up to a week or so ago
I had tried many other remedies and
sever&l doctors, and spent about three
hundred dollars, without any success,
but this is to-day the seventh day that
I have been using the Cutlcura Reme-
dies (costing a dollar and a half), which
have cured me completely, so that I
can again attend to my business. I
went to work again to-night. I had
been suffering for eight years and have
now been cured by the Cutlcura Reme-
dies within a week. Fritz Hirschlaff,

Not to Be Wasted.
Ben Cary had near his house a
swamp, which was a breeding-place
for herds of man-eating mosquitoes.
Some enterprising neighbors, who
learned of the crude oil treatment,
went to Ben and* tried to persuade
him to exterminate the pests.
"Exterminate "em?" said Ben. "Not
much. Not much. Why, Mis' Cary
