Slops the Sales
New Order of Secretary of Interior
Interferes With Land Sales.
A Muskogee special says: The
people of Indian Territory have
just begun to realize that the new
order of the department of the in-
terior relative to the sale of Indian
lands will effectually stop the sale
of lands. The order that no Indian
can list his land for sale until he
has agreed to take the money there
for in payments of io per month
is considered the most disastrous of
any order issued by the department
Any Indian can lease his land for
$130 per year the amount he would
receive on the installment plan
and by the time he would have
drawn ail the money paid in a sale
he would have drawn an equal
amount in rentals and would still
have his land. It has been the
idea of the Indian to sell enough of
his land to get money to improve
the remainder. This he ran never
do under the new rule. It is also
jtointed out that the bank which is
made the deposi'.ory for the e funds
pays the Indian no mtc; m. The
bank can take the money deposited
to the Indian's credit and buv an
erpial aimiunt of land and rent it
for enough to pay the Indian his
monthly payment;;. When the In-
dian has drawn the amount due
him the hank will have paid only
rental money and will still have not
only the land but the use of the
money all the time without inter-
est. Of course the U. S. deposi-
tory must be a national bank and
a national bank is not allowed to
do a real estate business but that
is easily evaded by forming a trust
company and handling- the real es-
tate that way.
The sales of the Indian agency
had dwindled to four or five tracts
a week under the old regime and it
is lxdieved that it will be discon-
tinued entirely now. This will al-
so prove the last straw and this fall
fall there will 1 the greatest posM-
ble pressure brought to bear on
congress to relieve Indian Territory
from iU present t tile of bureaucracy
and give it immediate statehood.
Two Fire Alarms.
The fire dcpaalment responded
to two calls last night. The first
was turned in about 6:30. A small
stable back of the otcra house was
011 fire. The department prompt-
ly u-sponded. An Exfrkss re-
jorier watche!i he boys hitching up
slid it occupied just one minute.
The fire was practically extinguish-
ed when the scene was reached.
Little or no damage was dune.
The second alarm came alut ten
o'clock. The exact location was
not reported and as no fire was
found it must have leen a false
alarm. Orcat care should be used
by tho-e who report fins to the
central telephone office to give the
exact place. The alarm should
also le given very promptly. It is
impossible for the department lo
accomplish anything when a
building is half binned In. fore the
alaim is given.
f'Mcsdames T. II. Dwycr W.

AScecsssfol Pastor'
Rev. O. II. Ray Closes his Fourth
- Year as Pastor of Church.
Rev. G. II. Ray preached his last
sermon as pastor of the Methodist
church here last night. This
closes his fourth year here and he
leaves tomorrow for the Indian
Mission Conference at South Mc-
Alester.
Bro. Ray has been a meat suc
cessful and popular pastor and his
people regret to lose hiur Strong
in the pulpit active and aggres-
sive in all departments of the
church work a truly consecrated
man he has accomplished splendid
results here. During his pastorate
there have been 358 additions to
the cntirch. and the congregations
have coi respondingly grown in
number. The Sunday School has
groAii from 75 to more than 300
pupils. A Woueu's Foreign Mis
sionary Society has been organized
and the Home Mission Sociely has
developed into a strong and useful
organization. The Epworth
League has also prospered.
When 15 1 o.Ray came the pastor's
salary was $850 kx year. This
has gradually grown tu $1200 and
the contributions of the church to
missions and other objects have
been correspondingly increased.
The church has prospered in spirit-
ual as well as in material things
A large congregation was present
to hear the pastors farewell .sermon
last night. It was a finished and
scholarly address from the lexf'By
their fruits ye shall know them."
A church was to be judged by its
fruits and the final test was in the
k!:id of characters it produced in
men and women. The pastor ex-
horted his people to constantly
push forward to demand a strong
man for pastor and pay him well.
He also told them to build the new
church ami he predicted that this
would be done next year.
The best wishes of Chickasha
follow Bro. Ilay and Mrs. Ray into
whatever field they may be called.
TESTIMONY OF A MINISTER.
Rev. Jno. S. Jox of Wake Ark
writes "For twelve years I suffered
from yellow jaundice. I consulted
a numlier of physicians and tried
all sorts of medicines but got no
relief. Then I began the use of
lilectric Bitters and fed that I am
now cured of a disease that had me
in its grasp for twelve years." If
you want a reliable medicine for
liver and kidney trouble stomach
disorders or general debility get
lilectric Bitters. Its guaranteed by-
Brown & Co. only 50c.

HKTTKR THAN FILLS.
The question has been asked In
what way are Cliamlerlaiii's
S'omach and Liver Tablets superior
to the ordinary cathartic and liver
pills? Our answer is They are
easier and more pleasant to take
and their effect is so gentle and so
agreeabla that one hardly realizes
that it is produced by a medicine.
Then they not only move the bowels
but improve the appetite and aid
the digestion. For sale at 25 cents
per liottle by Palace Drug Store.
If troubled with a weak digestion
try Chamberlain's Stomach and
Liver Tablets. They will do you
good. For sale by Palace Drug
Store.

Th3 Dangar Of Poverty.
Solomon who managed to rake
in a comfortable fortune declared
that the destruction of the poor
man was his poverty.
Solomon's head was level. The
man takes chancf s that the rich
one does not have lo take.
When the poor man travels he
rides in day coaches in order to;
save money and sleeps with his
neck hooked over the back of the
seat and his Aditn.s apple jutting
up into the microbe infested hot
recking air of the car. During the
night the engine butts into another
engine going in the opposite di-
rection and he is either a subject
for the coroner or the carving knife
of the surgeon. He sues the blast-
ed corporation and after being
knocked about for seven years go-
ing from one coin t to another he
settles for a thousand dollars and
gives the big end of that to his
lawyers. The rich man and a vast
number who are not a hundred
dollais ahead of the game take
sleeping car berths and s lore com-
fottubly through the watches of
the night.
Here again the man of means
geis the best of the economical son
of poverty He rides on a Pull-
man back near the end of the
train and while the smoker and day
coaches are mashed into kindling
wood the sleeper is hardly even
bunded.
To say nothing of comfort the
Pullman sleeping car is a good in-
vestment by way of insurance
against accidents. We have come
to the conclusion that in the peril-
ous times when railroad wrecks are
occupying the lines of every daily
paper and have been for the past
eight months it is the smart thing
to either take a rear sleeper or stay
at home. If you want to go some
where dig around a little longer be-
fore starting and get in sufficient
currency so that for that one trip
you can live like a gentleman ride
first cl.is. eat first class and enjoy
the satisfaction of the time being
of being a top nolclicr. Mail and
Breeze.
C.U'SK OK LOCKJAW
Lockjaw or tetanus is caused by
a bacillus or germ which exists
plentifully in street dirt. It is in-
active so long as exposed to the air
but when carried beneath the skin
as in the wounds caused by percus-
sion caps or by rusty nails and
when the air is excluded the germ
is roused to activity and produces
the most virulent poison known.
These germs may le destroyed and
all danger of lockjaw avoided by
applying Chamberlain's Pain Balm
freely as soon as the injury is re-
cieved. Pain Balm is an antiseptic
and causes cuts bruises and like
injuries to heal without maturation
an 1 in one third the time required
by the usual treatment It is for
sa'e dy Palace Drug Store.
