Oklahoma City, Okla.—The an
oouncement from .Muskogee of the
death of "Joe" Lahay came as a shock
to politicians here who have been in-
timately associated with him in af-
fairs connected with former Indian
territory.
Mr. Lahay was one of the most bril-
Lant of the Cherokee citizens and had
a promising future before him as a
lawyer and statesman- John Lahay.
father of the dead maa, was a French-
man, said to be a direct descendant of
the famous minister of that name who
figured so brilliantly in the court of
Louis le Grand.
Joe Lahay worked in a coal mine
until 19 years old and thus secured suf-
ficient funds to secure a college edu-
cation. From 1S92 to 1300 he was
clerk and treasurer of the Cherokee
nation and in 190T was president of
the Cherokee senate. In the first
election he was candidate for the con-
gressional nomination on the Demo-
cratic ticket in the Third congression-
al district, but was defeated by James
S. Davenport, the present representa-
tive from that district in congress.

"Wet" Goods in Dry Cistern.
Tulsa, Okla.—It has been discovered
here that cisterns can be put to a good
use even if it does not rain and these
receptacles of water cannot do the
service for which they were designed.
Officers of the city discovered ove
$500 worth of liquors consisting of
whisky, champagne, gin and fancy
wines stored in the bottom of a fifty-
foot cistern in the northeast part of
the city. A special grand jury is In

A year and a half ago I was taken with
a severe attack cf kidney trouble that
pained me to «uch an extent that mor-
phine had to be given me. Was attended
by a doctor who pronounced it as stone
in the bladder and prescribed Lithia
Water. I took Lithia Water and tablets
for some time and received no relief from
them. I stopped taking medicines for gome
time and having some Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root in the house, I decided to
try it and felt much relieved; while taking
the second bottle commenced to pass
gravel in urine until I had passed in all
at least a half a dozen or more and have
not suffered the slightest since and in all
have taken one bottle and a half and feel
very grateful to Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root.
