Items from the Chronoscopy.
A boy dropping1 into a new
railroad town every two or three
weeks, and between cold bottles
assuring merchants that "rates
will be better after while," soon
becomes a dum-nuisance and
leads to the belief that there is
somewhere a premium on men-
dacity.
The men who used to drive
freight wagons from Enid,Kiowa
and Alva, bringing goods to in-
land merchants, are looking live-
ly again preparatory to a resump-
tion of business. They can
make better rates than the rail-
roads.
People are commencing- to in-
quire, "'what's the matter with
freight rates?" It is g-etting-
very monotonous, this paying of
freig-ht bills with the item "dray-
age" charged from 25 cents up.
If a railroad is a railroad why is
it not a railroad, and if so why
not?

' When the mule team and sway
backed spring wagon brought
the mail in, and the locomotive
was an indistinct memory,people
thought themselves much abused
if the intelligent rooster up the
line sent the same mail back in
the evening that went out in the
morning. When the Choctaw
came in everybody offered self-
congratulation that now the dai-
ly papers would get in on the
"evening of publication, and the
mail would be at least a half sure
thing-. It is not, though. Whose
fault it is no one knows. The
fact remains, however, that the
daily papers straggle in from one
to four days late, and sometimes
stay away altog-ether, Eight
days for a letter from Aline to
Wichita is not a fast mail by any
means, yet that record has been
made. The conclusion is that
somebody ought to be clubbed,
but who to thump is the question
It does no good to cuss. Indeed
the most polished adept in the
cussative art could not do the
subject justice.
The kick is all right Brother
Marchant, it is almost impossible
to tell when we are going to get
mail any more, and from indica-
tions it will be worse as the San-
ta Fe changes time November
3, arriving at Alva after the de-
parture of the Choctaw. Lt is
about time the department inves-
tigated this and give the people
decent service.

Jumped on n Ten-Penny Nail.
The little daughter of -.Ir. J N
Powell jumped on an inverted
rake made of ten-penny nails,and
thrust one nail entirely through
her foot and a second ore half
way thtugh. Chamberlain's
Pain Balm was promptly applied
and five minutes later the pain
had disappeared at d no more suf-
fering was experienced. In three
days the child was wearing her
shoe as usual and with absolute-
ly no discomfort. Mr. Powell is
a well known merchant of Fork-
land, Va. Pain Balm is an anti*
septic and heals such injuries
without maturation and iu one
third the time required by the
usual treatment. For sale by W
T. Barrett.

—A. J. Moser purchased the
Ashby farm of Jake Bonewitz
Monday, paying S4300 for it, the
farm consists of 176 acres of the
finest Eagle Chief valley land.
—We take it for granted ac-
cording to last week's Free
Homes, that the Orient has not
disbanded, nor has Stilwell sev-
ered his connection with the
road that in a short time track
laying will begin, and last of all
they are actually going to build
the entire line of railroad. "Con-
sistency thou art a jewel."
