A HOST TOUCHING APPEAL
falls short of its desired effect if ad-
dressed to a small crowd of interested
listeners. Mr. Business Man, are
you wasting your ammunition on the
small crowd that would trade with
you anyway, or do you want to reach
those who are not particularly, inter-
ested in your business? If you do,
make your appeal for trade to the
largest and most intelligent
audience in your commun-
ity, the readers of this
paper. They have count-
less wants. Your ads will
be read by them, and they
will become your custom-
ers. Try it and see.

GOING THE PACE.
Killed in Runaway.—Thrown from
his seat, the wheels passing over
hlB neck, Joseph G. Bridges of Alva
received injuries in a runaway which
caused his death in a few minutes.
Cracksmen Get $1,000.—Craoksmen
dynamited the safe of the Bank of
Lucient, thirty miles east of Enid,
and escaped with $1,000 in currency
and notes to the amount of $9,000.
The Interior of the bank building was
wrecked by the explosion. The rob-
bers escaped in a rig stolen from a
farmer.
Newspaper Man First.—Chairman
J. T. Norris of the Republican state
central committee has received the
firBt of the petitions for the refer-
endum of the new general election
law which were sent out last week.
It was sent in by Walter Ferguson,
editor of the Cherokee Republican,
with the required number of signa-
tures, all in proper form.
Arm Jerked Out of Socket.—Guy
Wagner of Billings was the victim of
a painful accident, his left arm being
jerked out of the socket by a fright
ened mule which he was leading.
When the mule began to run, Wag-
ner's fingers were caught in the bits
in such a way that he could not re-
lease them. It was all that two strong
men could do to reset the arm.
Presbyterians to Unite.—At a meet-
ing of the Presbytery at El Reno ac-
tion was taken to unite the Northern
and Southern branches of the Presby-
terian church in southwestern Okla-
homa. J. M. Diffenderfer, a veteran
of the southern Confederacy, intro-
duced a resolution asking ministers
to refrain from uttering anything to
foster the differences between the
two organizations.
This Negro Was Electrocuted.—
Losing his head, Dennis Higgs, a ne-
gro convict sent to the penitentiary
from Ardmore, lost his life from elec-
trocution. He was working with
others on the site of the new prison
when an elevator car swung against
wire heavily charged with elec-
tricity. Had he remained on the car
he would not have been injured, but
he tried to let himself down and when
his feet touched the ground the en-
tire current passed throuh his body.
To Keep Texas Cattle Out.—The
county attorney in the district court
at Pawhuska asked for an injunction
restraining Texas stockmen from
bringing their herds to the Osage na-
tion for pasturage or other purposes.
If the injunction is granted it will stop
the movement of over a million head
of cattle each season from Texas and
cause an immense loss to the stock-
men. It is claimed that in moving
the herds to the Osage nation, cattle
tick and disease peculiar to cattle are
brought into that section. The Texas
cattle men expect to contest the case
to the finish.
Indians Good Students.—J.; P. Con-
nors, president of the state Board of
agriculture who, with the other mem-
bers of the board, has just returned
from an inspection of the Murray
secondary school of agriculture at
Tishomingo, is well pleased with the
progress of the school which has been
in existence less than a year. "You
ought to see those Indian boys sawing
rafters, fitting joints and building
hips and valleys for roofs," said Mr.
Connors. A large proportion of the
boys in attendance are Indians and
they are being taught the useful me-
chanical arts and seem to grapp the
details very rapidly." Mr. Connors
says that there are now sixty-five pu-
pils in the school including a number
of girls.
Stevenson Not Guilty.—After be-
ing out fourteen hours the jury at
Norman returned a verdict of not
guilty in the case against James Stev-
enson. charged with killing R. W.
Cathey in Pauls Valley in November,
1907.
To Vote on "Ribbon Ballot."—Jo-
seph H. Norris, chairman of the Re-
publican state committee, is starting
the wheels that will set in motion the
machinery necessary to refer the Tay-
lor "ribbon ballot" election law to a
vote of the people, as recently de-
cided upon by a vote of the Repub-
lican state committee. Chairman Nor-
ris has sent letters of instruction to
state committeemen, county chair-
men and precinct committeemen
throughout the entire state; a total
of 3,000 letters, urging all of them to
work in unison and with the greatest
rapidity poss-ible. The petition, on
which to secure signers asking the
government to issue a proclamation
submitting the election law to a vote
of the people, are also being sent out
over the state.
Tortoise—What, have you started a
motor car?
Snail—Yes, one must move with the
times, you know.
Too Literal,
"Well, yes," said Old Uncle Lazzen-
berry, who was Intimately acquainted
with most of the happenstances of the
village. "Almira Stang has broken oft
her engagement with Charles Henry
Tootwiler. They'd be goin' together
for about eight years, durin' which
time she had been inculcatin' into him,
as you might call it, the beauties of
economy; but when she discovered,
just lately, that he had learnt his les-
son so well that he had saved up 217
pairs of socks for her to darn im-
mediately after the wedding, she
'peared to conclude that he had taken
her advice a little too literally, and
broke oft the match."—Puck.
PERUNA
For Catarrh of the Throat of Two
Years' Standing
"I was afflicted for two years with
catarrh of the throat. At first it was
very slight, but every cold 1 took made
it worse.
"I followed your directions end in a
very short time I began to improve. I
took one bottle and am now taking
my second. I can safely say that my
throat and head are cleared from ca-
tarrh. at the present time, but I still
continue to take my usual dose for*
spring tonic, and I find there is noth-
ing better."—Mrs. W. Pray, 260

One Thing She Was Sure Of.
Grace—Really, mother, you seem
cross this morning.
Mother (sternly)—How often have I
tnld you not to let that young man
kiss you?
Grace—I don't know, mother, but
certainly not as often as he has
kissed me.
Laundry work at home would te
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, It Is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric Is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear-
ing quality of the goods. This trou-
ble can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of Its great-
er strength than other makes.
Cutting Humor.
With cap and bells jangling, he
burst into the king's presence.
"Have you heard my last joke, your
majesty?" hw cried.
"I have," was the reply, as the
royal ax descended on the neck of the
court Jester.—Life.

Invalid Husband—Did the doctor
say I was to take all that medicine?
Wife—Yes, dear.
Invalid Husband—Why, there's
enough there to kill a donkey.
Wife (anxiously)—Then yoif 4 bet-
ter not take all of it, John!—Tit Bits.

Giiaran
A woman who is sick and suffering, and won't at least
try a medicine which has the record of Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, is to blame for her own wretched
condition.
There are literally hundreds of thousands of women in
the United States who have been benefited by this famous
old remedy, which was produced from roots and herbs over
thirty years ago by a woman to relieve woman's suffering.
Read what these women say: ,
Camden, N. J. — " It is with pleasure that I send my testimo-
nial for Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, hoping it
may induce other suffering women to avail themselves of the
benefit of this valuable remedy.
"I suffered from pains in my back and side, sick headaches,
no appetite, was tired and nervous all the time, and so weak I
could hardly stand. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
made me a well woman—and this valuable medicine shall
always have my praise."—Mrs. W. P. Valentine, 002 Lincoln
Ave., Camden, If. J.
, ®r*® ®>a* ~K I suffered for five years from female troubles, and
at last was almost helpless. I tried three doctors but they did
me no good. My sister advised me to try Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, and it lias made me well and strong. I
hope all suffering women will just give Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound a trial, for it is worth its weight in gold."
— Mrs. J. P. Endlich, R. F. . 7, Erie, Pa.
Since we guarantee that all testimonials which we pub-
lish are genuine, is it not fair to suppose that if Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound had the virtue to help
these women it will help any other woman who is suffer-
ing from the same trouble.
For 30 years Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound has been the standard remedy for
female ills. No sick woman does justice to
herself who will not try this famous medicine.
Made exclusively from roots and herbs, and
has thousands of cures to its credit.
If the slightest trouble appears which
you do not understand, write to Mrs.
Pinkliam at Lynn, Mass., for her advice —it is
free and always helpful.
