Tim Shanahan' Home In its Track-
No Serious Results.
A very fine rain fell yesterday
a few miles northwest of town.
At Tim Shanahan's there was al-
most a small cyclone. A wheat
drill a locked wagon and several
farming implements were blown
some distance away. Mr. Shan-
ahan has a large stone storm
bouse but the storm came upon
them unawares and tbe family wbb
forced to stay in the house. A
scythe which was hanging in a
tree in front of the house never
did look so large to Mr. Shanaban
as when tbe tree was blown up by
the roots and carried away. How-
ever it passed in another direction
and no serious damage was done
to his family or tbe bouse.
Nowata Editor diets a Job.
Editor W. S. Irvin of the No-
wata Herald has been appointed
a deputy re venue inspector for the
Cherokee nation of tbe Indian Ter-
ritory. He will begin his labors
July 1 and will work under J.
George Wright the chief inspec-
tor. The place pays a good salary.
Mr. Irvin was once in tbe news-
paper business in Coffeyville. He
went to Nowata six years ago and
has built up a good paper there in
the Herald. Mr. Irvin is an ar-
dent republican. He will continue
to conduct the Herald. Coffey-

The grand jury at Muskogee ad-
joured yesterday after returning
125 true bills six of which were
indictments for murder making a
total of 33 murder cases n6w pend-
ing in the Northern district and
five rape cases. There are 216
prisoners now in the Muskogee
jail and 27 were sent to tbe north-
ern prisons this week. The grand
jury ignored 50 cases where parties
bad been under bond by the Unit-
ed States commissioners this in-
cludes many Rochester tonic cases
where the sellers have closed their
joints since the court of appeals
decision.
The progressive town of Durant
in the Choctaw nation has set the
pace for all the other towns in the
country by doing an" exceedingly
wise thing. Five hundred dollars
was subscribed by the citizens and
business men for a fourth of July
blowout but in place of the barbe-
cue she with the consent of tbe
donors has determined to build a
bridge across the Washita river
which will bring thousands of dol-
lars worth of trade to the town and
be a perpetual monument to her
enterprise. -
The National party are holding
a convention at Tucker Springs
north of Tablequab today and
will formulate a platform. A
platform that would express-the
sentiment of the party could be
written in two words: "Do nothing."
The rather unlikely story that
Bob Dalton's watch has recently
been dug out of a sewer in Coffey-
ville near where the outlaw was
killed is being circulated. If it
had been stated that the watch
was still keeping time the lie
would have been completed.
The conviction of the Wright
county Mo. train robbers is
an indication that train robbing is
becoming unpopular even in Mis-
souri. -

Rough on the Nineteenth Mmine.
Major Parsons of the Nineteenth
Maine told this story:
"There is some doubt as to what
part the Nineteenth Maine played
in the war though moBt of the boys
think it put down the rebellion. The
fact is the Nineteenth ate up the
Southern Confederacy. They stole
pigs robbed hen roosts cleaned out
orchards and cellars and foraged the
country so thoroughly that the re-
bellion had nothing loft to feed on
and so lay down and died. "
TheiyAl Wells of the same regi-
ment took up the thread of the story :
"We were sweeping along one day
dining on the fat of the land as
usuaL Another troop was ahead
and between them and us rode Gen-
eral Hancock. As the general was
passing one plantation thu aged
proprietor came out and stopped the
general's party.
" 'General' said he 'I want some
sort of safeguard. These troops that
have just gone by stole my pigs
lifted my hen roosts and emptied my
cellar.'
" 'I'm sorry' said Hancock. '
" 'Yes' replied the old man 'they
stole everything but my hope of im-
mortality. Thank God none of them
can steal that'
" 'Don't be too sure about that
retorted the general 'The Nine-
teenth Maine is coining next' "

Cold.
An acute cold V very disagreea-
ble and if neglected may prove
very serious. In its early stages it
may be avoided by use of camphor.
If tho cheat seems "tight" rnb.it
thoroughly . with equal parts ; of
sweet oil and .camphor and wear a
compress during the night of flannel
saturated with . the mixture heated
and covered with dry flannel. Three
or four drops of camphor in a glass
of hot water taken at night is ex-
cellent If the throat is a little sore
use a gargle of ten drops of cam-
phor to a tablespoonf ul of water
being careful not to swallow this.
Rubbing the nose with sweet oil and
camphor and inhaling the fumes of
the latter will help matters when
the head fiels full with afresh cold.
