Why
Do people buy Hood's Sarsaparilla in
preference to any other,—in fact almoet
to the exclusion of all others?
Because
They know from actual use that Hood's
is the best, i. e.t it cures when others fail, !
Hood's Sarsaparilla is still made under
the personal supervision otf the educated
pharmacists who originated it.
The question of best is just as positively
decided in favor of Hood's as the question
of comparative sales.
Another thing: Every advertisement
of Hood's Sarsaparilla is true, is honest.

Chandler, 0. T., Oct. 22—(Special
by Telephone.)—Rev. Callahan arrived
from Shawnee yesterday afternoon in
company of a couple monev loaners,
and spoke in the evening to an aud-
ience of :i00: 250 of whom were Dennis
Flynn men. He said that he ought to
be sent to congress because he was in
favor of free homes.
A farmer in the audience answered
that on that basis every man in Okla-
homa should be sent to congress be-
cause they were all in favor of free
homes. He said that the question of
this campaign was, who could do us
the most good in Washington for free
homes, not who was for free homes.
This so disconcerted Mr. Callahan
and was the cause of so many ques-
tions from the audience that he quit
his theme of free homes and finished
on free silver and quit short of his al-
loted time.
D. C. Lewis, of Oklahoma City, then
addressed the people, He said he was
surprised to find so many Flynn men
in Lincoln county. He thought the
most of them were for free silver and
ought to vote for Callahan. He was
laughed at for this remark. Finally
he told a smutty story at which all
the ladies in the audience left the
hall and the meeting was virtually
broken up.

FATAL KNIFE DUEL.
Two Drunken Kullroad Men Have
Affray and One Is Killed.
South McAlester, 1. T., Oct. 23 —
[Special.] Deputy Marshal Charles
Raird came up from Durrant this even
ing with a prisoner named William
Mc(iutt'ney, who bore evidence of a
thrilling encounter with an adversary
with knives as weapons. He is seri-
ously cut around the neck and should
ers. The affray in which he received
his wounds occurred at Durrant, and
his adversary, whose name is not
known, is dead as a result. Roth men
were under the influence of liquor
when the trouble began. The quarrel
led to the encounter with knives, and
both fought desperately. Roth of the
participants are railroad men employ-
ed at Durrant.

Scrloui yuHtlon Whether h Man Citn Knu
for Otllce In Hill Wife's Name.
John Cammack was seen yesterday
consulting a lawyer as to whether a
man could run for office in his wife's
name. It was found that he wanted
to find the legal status of Leo Vin-
cent's candidacy for county clerk.
"Look here," he said to the legal
Homuculus, "I have heard of a man
doing business in his wife's name, and
even marrying in his wifs's name, but
never recollect hearing before of a
man running for office in his wife's
name. I don't propose to be fooled in
this matter. No man, because he
doesn't show up his own head and hope
to win, can put up his wife because he
knows she's a good woman, lly ,

SO Years of Cures
THE TWO FREDS.
How the Perry Townalte Hoard Serves
the Government.
Noble County Sentinel (dem.): The
fact has developed itself that the Perry
townsite board has branched out quite
extensively in the newspaper business.
It has been known all along that Fred
Wilson had control of the Perry Dem-
ocrat, and this week proved that Fred
Raily owned the pop Patriot. This
towusite board, as everybody knows,
has been a living parasite on our peo-
ple since the opening, and yet, like
leeches, they hold onto their "job" as
tenacious as the little vampires do to
a duck s leg. In their newspaper ven-
ture they have a hard time—harder, it
seems, than they have in holding onto
the townsite board business. They
keep shifting around, and when
they find some one of their
s'ool pigeons don't tit the
occasion, and fail to waltz to their tune
they either discharge him or confiscate
the outfit. Fred Wilson's Perry Demo-
crat has been changing "editors and
publishers ' so rapidly of late that it is
hard to keep track of the presto
changes. Rut Fred Raily, not pleased
with "the smell of hay" eininating
from his pop sheet, quietly invaded
the sanctum sanctorum this week and
confiscated the whole outfit and de-
livered it over to his partner, Fred
Wilson, of the Perry Democrat, at
which place can be seen the last rays
of the defunct pop sheet. Of course
Fred Wilson is a democrat and Fred
Haily a pop, so you see the coalition of
the two sheets and the two proprietors
produce a mongrel. Only this and
nothing more.

THE FAIR AT ALVA.
Gladness Comes
With a better understanding of the
transient nature of the many pliys-
! Veal ills, which vanish before proper ef-
[forts -gentle efforts -pleasant efforts -
! rightly directed. 'I .iore is comfort in
the knowledge, that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis-
ease, l>ut simply to a constipatedcondi*
tion «>f the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrupof Figs, prompt'
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with inillionsof families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly bv all
who value good health. Its heneAeial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without debilitating tho
organs on which it acts. It is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
ficial effects, to note when you pur.
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
cle, which is manufactured by the Cali-
j fornia Fig Syrup Co. only ami, sold by
54, Cleveland, j &11 reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health
and the system is regular, laxatives o
other remedies are then not needed. I
afflicted with any actual disease, oik
may be commended to the most skillfu
physicians, but if in need of a laxative
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used ano "■'resm^t general satisfaction.

Dennis Flynn In the Opera
House in Kingfisher.
KlN.iPlsHRit. Ok.. Oct. 22.—[Special. |
Delegate Flynn addressed the largest;
meeting here Tuesday night in the
history of the territory. Over four
thousand voters were present, and
this without any excursion rates or
trains running on theRoek Island. It
was purely a county meeting, where
the farmers drove in overland. Never
in the history of the county was thefe
such a turnout. This, it must be re-
membered, is Callahan's county, and
these people who rallied to the support
of Flynn are his neighbors.
Delegate Flynn addressed the people
in the opera house. Long before the
hourt of speaking it was found that
the hall would not hold one fourth of
the people. It was so crowded that a
stampede was feared if something
was not done to clear the hall. Two
overflow meetings were addressed on
the streets by Captain .1. J. Ilassler,
the democratic receiver of the Enid
land office, Judge Hrownlee. Hon. J.
I. Ltille and lion. Frank It. Uillet.
Delegate Flynn was received with
feet condition for fast time. The fea- | tjjt. greatest enthusiasm and his utter-
ture of the day was the parade open- j ances on his work for free homes were
ing the fair. It was participated in repeatedly cheered. When he finished

tion of Callahan would simply defeat

any chance of hi« carrying his own
county and this meeting has changed,
still more against him.

Marshal Nagle addressed the associa-
tion on the criminal condition of the
territory and the best way to catch
outlaws.
The Anti-Horse Thief association is
an organization not only to catch and
punish horse thieves, but all kinds of
criminals. In sections of country
away from railroads and telegraph
lines, the farmers are at the mercy of
any and all kinds of outlaws, and it is
almost impossible to catch thern by
the slow process of the sheriff's or the
marshal's office. Under this organiza-
tion the moment a farmer Is held up
or robbed a posse is immediately sent
in pursuit by the secret machinery
only known to the members and the
off ender is caught and brought to law.
This is not a vigilance committee and
docs not take the punishment of crime
into its own hands except in the pur-
