Methodist congregation of Mangum
has plans perfected and will soon be-
gin the erection of a $20,000 church

the city make it necessary for added
facilities.
State Fair Big Success.—Approxi-
mately 100,000 people attended the
State fair at Oklahoma City, accord-
ing to the treasurer's record. It is
naid that the figure would be much
larger had not rain interrupted two
days of the fair, both of which carried
programs calculated to draw thous-
ands of people. An electiou of officers
of the Slate Fair association will be
held the latter part of December.
Assailant Gets Five Years.—Dave

cer, Okla., charged with criminally

years old, was given a five-year sen-
tence in the Lansing penitentiary.

after deliberating eighteen hours.
Thompson will remain at the county
jail in Oklahoma City, until Sheriff
Garrison arranges to take him to the
penitentiary.
Night Riders in Oklahoma.—Night
riders, supposed to have their head-
quarters at Hazel, in the Seminole
county, twenty miles east of Shawnee,
have posted notices on the gins at
Konowas, Maud, Wewoka and Semi-
nole, all towns near there that no
gins are to be operated untl a p ice
of ten cents is obtained for cotton,
otherwise the gins will be burned.
Similar notices were posted in the
postoffice, warning buyers to stay off
the streets.
Meet at Oklahoma City Next.—The
regular meeting of the Presbyterian
synod ef Oklahoma will be held in
Oklahoma City in October of next
year. This was decided just before
the adjournment of the synod which
was organized after the Oklahoma
members had withdrawn from the
synod of Texas. A feature of the ses-
sion was the marriage of W. Owens
to Mlas F. A. Remans, both of Green-
ville, Texas, in the presence of the
members of the synod, by the Rev.
John A. Williams.
Will Hold 10.0C0 Bushels,—The
largest "spud house" in Oklahoma is
being built by William Smith of Mus-
tang, and when completed will hold
nearly 10,000 bushels of potatoes.
The house is built on top of the
ground on a cement foundation, well
braced with heavy timbers through-
out. It is fifty feet long, twenty-eight
feet wide, eleven feet high and nine
at the other, giving a two-foot fall so
water will run off. Mr. Smith raised
an immense crop of potatoes this year
and will keep most of them.
Reward For Thief.—Sheriff Sales
of Norman offers a reward of $75 for
information leading to the return of
two stolen horses which are describ-
ed as follows: One brown or black
horse, 10 years old, weight 1,000 or
1,050 pounds, about 15% hands high,
old collar marks on both shoulders,
old wire cut on right fore foot, is
slightly lame in right foot. One red

Beaver, Charles Keys and Harrison
Parks, three Indian boys, were caught
at Enid for having run away from the
Chilocco school. They claimed they
were not given enough to eat at the
school. The boys walked thirty miles
to catch a train. They were sent
back to tho school, and an effot will
probably be made to ascertain if any
foundation exists for their com-
plaint.
Bond For Life Prisoner.—Relatives
of Cyrus Raspbury of Chandler, who
was oonvicted of highway robbery and
given a life sentence in the peniten-
tiary for participation in the holdup
of sixty Bulgarians near Stroud last
January, when about $1,000 In jewelry
and money was secured, are making
a strong effort to secure boud for
Raspbury. Raspbury was convicted
much on the evidence of George Gas-
kin, who got a similar sentence, for
being implicated In the holdup. A
few days after the robbery a daugh- !
ter of Raspbury was found with a pot !
of money, a strange incident under
the circumstances. Gaskin made a
confession.

poration commission has made fin- i
al the proposed order which '
provides that no person, firm or
company conducting a telephone ex-
change in the state can increase

Bays:
Brought About a Remarkable Change.
A. J. Davis of Murray, Ky.,
"When I began using Doan's
Kidney Pills, kid-
ney disease was
slowly poisoning me.
Dizzy spells almost
made me fall, sharp
pains like knife
thrusts would catch
me In the back, and
Anally an attack of
grip left me with a constant agoniz-
ing backache. Doan's Kidney Pills
helped me quickly and In three weeks'
time there was not a symptom of
kidney trouble remaining."

Willing to Help Him,
He had gone to the dry goods store
with a bit of dress material which his
wife had bidden him to match. "I
am very sorry, sir," said the salesman,
"but 1 have nothing exactly like this.
The very last remnant was sold this
morning."
"But I must have it!" exclaimed the
husband. "Otherwise, how can 1 face
my wife?"
"If you will permit me, sir," said
the salesman, "I would venture to sug-
gest that you invite a friend home to
dinner with you."
CURE AT CITY MISSION.
Awful Case of Scabics—Body a Mass
of Sores from Scratching—Her
Tortures Yield to Cuticura.
"A young woman came to our city
mission In a most awful condition physi-
cally. Our doctor examined her and
told us that she had scabies (the itch),
incipient paresis, rheumatism, etc.,
brought on from exposure. Her poor
body was a mass cf. 6ores from scratch-
ing and she was not able to retain solid
food. We worked hard over her for seven
weeks but we could see little Improve-
ment. One day I bought a "•ake of
Cuticura Soap and a bottle of Cuti-
cura Resolvent, and we bathed our
patient well and gave her a full dose
of the Resolvent. She slept better that
night and the next day I got a box of
Cuticura Ointment. In five weeks this
young woman was able to look for a
position, and she is now strong and well.

CORNET BROUGHT ABOUT PEACE.

Game Youngster Preferred Drastlo
Action In Punishment.
"Youngsters are pretty philosoph-
ical," observed Wallace Knight, and
then ho went ahead to set forth the
point of view of a small daughter at
his house.
The child was sent to bed early
the other evening as punishment for
some act contrary to rules and regula-
tions.
After she had been tucked In bed
I for some time and was supposedly
asleep, the youngster called her fa-
ther and told him she wished he would
j go ahead and spank her and have it
over with, instead of sending her off
to bed that way. 'This lying in bed
never's going to make me any better."
I she said, "and a good spanking would.
Besides it makes me so mad I can't
j sleep and so what's the use of it?"—

Ready, Whatever Happens.
"Work as though you were to live
I forever; live as though you were to
i die to-night," says an old writer. It is
i counsel that fits many, though the
man whose life is well insured may
I claim some exemption. He has no
need of working as though death were
I ready to come, for he has already an-
[ tlcipated and guarded his dependents
against the monetary distress that so
1 often trails In the grim visitor's wake,
j As for the rest of the advice, his poli-
cies are tangible evidence of his noble
) forethought and readiness to die, if
need be, to-night.
Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by loc.'il applications, its tlioy cannot roach tho dis-
eased portion ot the car. There la only one way to
euro deafness, and that la by constitutional remedies.
Deatness Is caused by an Inflamed condition ot tho
mucous lining ot tho Eustachian Tube. When this
tube Is Inflamed you have a rumbllnit sound or Im-
perfect hearliiK. and when It Is entirely closed. Deaf-
ness Is the result, and unless the Inflammation can bo
taken out and this tube restored to Its normal condi-
tion, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine casra
out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which Is nothing
but an Inflamed condition ot the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case ot
Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot lie cured

say, Blr, tho prisoner Is a thief?"
! "Yes, sir. 'Cause why, she has con-
| fessed she was." "And you also swear
i she worked for you after this con-
I fession?" "Yes, sir." "Then we are

honest people to work for you. even

missions south of the Zambesi. There
are 31 different missionary organiza-

NOT A MIRACLE.
Just Plain Cause and Effect.
There are some quite remarkable
things happening every day, which
seem almost miraculous.
Some persons would not believe that
a man could suffer from coffee drink-
ing bo severely as to cause spells ot
unconsciousness. And to find complete
relief in changing from coffee to Pos-
tum is well worth recording.
"I used to be a great coffee drinker,
so much so that it was killing me by
inches. My heart became so weak I
would fall and lie unconscious for an
hour at a time. The spells caught
me sometimes two or three times a
day.
"My friends, and even the doctor,
told me it was drinking coffee that
caused the trouble. I would not be-
lieve it, and still drank cofTee until I
could not leave my room.
"Then my doctor, who drinks Pos-
tum himself, persuaded me to stop cof-
fee and try Postum. After much hesi-
tation I concluded to try it. That was
eight months ago. Since then I have
had but few of those spells, none for
more than four months.
"I feel better, sleep better and am
better every way. I now drink noth-
ing but Postum and touch no cofTee,
and as I am seventy years of age all
my friends think the Improvement
quite remarkable."
