During the past year 4,2G8 deeds and

MARVELOUS CROP RETURNS
The increase in the crop returns of

a corresponding increase will not re-

crease has been particularly noticeable

A post mortem showed that the intes-
tines were clogged by the undigested
peanuts, some of the kernels being
still whole.
Charles Cherry, receiver of the de-
funct Farmers' National bank of King-
fisher, announces that final arrange-
ments have been made to pay all de-
positors In full within a short time,
and that the affairs of the bank with-
in the next few months will be turned
back to the stockholders. The liabili'
ties amount to $9,000.
Muskogee closed up her business
nouses one day last week and all
merchants and clerks turned out to
issist in raising the $30,000 bonus to
secure the Midland Valley shops.
Each subscriber to the "bonus was
given a lot In an addition to the city
equal in value to his donation.
J. L. Thompson, tax collector for tht
city of Chickasha, up to February 1st,
collected taxes for 1905 to the amount
$28,000. This equals the entire
amount collected for the year 1904.
Fifteen thousand to $10,000 more yet
remain to be collected on last year.

The Frost Hotel at Westville was
burned last week together with all
the furnishings. The loss is estimated '
at $10,000. A number of adjoining
buildings were burned also, but the
value of them was not much. Many
of the gupsts escaped from tho build-
ing by so narrow a margin that they
were unable to save any of their per-
sonal belongings.
The safe of the postoffice- at Mc-
Curtain was robbed one night last
week of a sum of money amounting
to about $200. The blowing of safes
in the twin territories is becoming
a thing of almost nightly occurrence,
and as yet not one of the night
prowlers have been caught, although
a number have been arrested on sus-
picion.
A number of mayors of Indian Ter-
ritory towns are in Washington try-
ing to get a bill through congress by
which railroads can be compelled to
pay taxes witlfln incorporated towns
in the territory. There is a law under
which roads may be taxed, but as
there is no penalty for non-payment
the law is ineffective. If a law is
passed as desired the burden of
municipal government will not fal'
bo heavy upon the citizens.
Citizens of Oklahoma City have or-
ganized a municipal ownership league
whIT-h proposes to have the city own
and operate all public utilities and
proposes to work against granting any
new franchises or extending any now

J. W. Dickinson, a newspaper man

To Found a Silent City
Deaf mutts of Chicago have been
asked to join in a movement to estab-
lish a large colony at Caney, Kansas,
where there are already many of the
silent people and many industries of-
fering employment suitable to their
condition.
Caney, which is a city of 3,500 in-
habitants, is in the oil and gas belt of
southwestern Kansas, within a short
distance of the Indian Territory line.
The town is surrounded by a tract of
good agricultural land. Already many
industries, owned by the mutes, are in
full operation and many more are con-
stantly being added.
With the carpenters, printers, shoe-
makers and other skilled laborers, as
well as the tillerfe of the soil, the muto

It will be seen that the number of
acres sown to wheat, oats and barley
In 1898 was 429,749, and that this had
increased in 1904 to 1,587,337. The
total crop in the cereals mentioned
was 9,033,297 bushels in 1898, and in
1904 it had grown to the magnificent
total of 35,413,522. In the year just

The persistent effect upon the heart
of caffeine in coffee cannot but re-
Bult in the gravest conditions, in time.
Each attack of the drug (and that
means each cup of coffee) weakens
the organ a little more, and the end
is almost a matter of mathematical
demonstration. A lady writes from
a Western state:
"I am of German descent and it
was natural that I should learn at a
very early age to drink coffee. Until
I was 23 years old I drank scarcely
anything else at my meals.
"A few years ago I began to be af-
fected by a steadily increasing nerv-
ousness, which eventually developed
into a distressing heart trouble that
made me very weak and miserable.
Then, some three years ago, was add-
ed asthma in its worst form. My
sufferings from these things can be
better imagined than described.
"During all this time my husband
realized more fully than I did that cof-
fee was injurious to me, and made ev-
ery effort to make me stop.
"Finally it was decided a few
months ago, to quit the use of cofTee
absolutely, and to adopt Postum Food
Coffee as our hot table drink. I had
but little idea that it would help me,
but consented to try it to please my
husband. I prepared it very carefully,
exactly according to directions, and
was delighted with its delicious flav-
or and refreshing qualities.

the coffee had time to get out of my
system the nutritive properties of the
