ARE YOUR KIDNEYS WELL?
Many Tahlequah People Know the
Importance of Healthy Kidneys,
The kidneys filter the blood.
They work night and day.
Well kidneys remove Impurities.
Weak kidneys allow Impurities to
multiply.
No kidney 111 should be neglected.
There is possible danger In delay.
If you have backache or uninary
troubles,
If you are nervous, dizzy or worn
out,
Begin treating your kidneys at
once;
Use a proven kidney remedy.
None endorsed like Doan's kidney
Pills.
Recommended by thousands.
Proved by Tahlequah testimony.
Mrs. M. Brown, Tahlequah, Okla.,
says: "I suffered from intense
lameness across my back and pains
in my kidneys for "over a year. The
pains across my back were so severe
at times that I had to press my
hands to my sides to get relief. I
was greatly annoyed by the kidney
secretions. Learning of Doan's Kid-
ney Pills, I got a box and took them
as directed. I was soon cured."
Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy—
get Doan's Kidney Pills—the same
(hat Mrs. Brown had. Foster-Mil-

LIQUOR LAW IN
TEXAS MODIFIED
Al'STIN, Texas, Dec. 17.—The
court of criminal appeals yesterday
practically knocked out the Allison
liquor law and as Judge Prender-
gast says in his dissenting opinion,
"wiped it off the statute books."
The Alison law prohibited ship-
ment of liquor into dry territory
in Texas. Yesterday's decision de-
clared any person, or agent, can
carry or ship liquor into dry terri-
tory provided it is not the inten-
tion to use the liquor for unlawful
purposes. The Allison law had
been so stringent that newspapers
did not carry liquor advertisements
in dry territory.
Wednesday's decision restores the
ordinary uses of liqucr in dry terri-
tory except for i t-salc in the dry
area.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 17.—A. C.
Trumbo, vice president of the Mus-
kogee National bank, called on mem-
bers of the federal reserve board
yesterday in behalf of Oklahoma
City bankers who are protesting
against the south portion of Okla-
homa being placed in the Dallas
federal reserve district.
Bankers in Oklahoma City are
complaining that Dallas banks have
been securing business formerly con-
trolled by them and are urging
.placing the entire state of Oklahoma
in the Kansas City district.
Mr. Trumbo was informed that
Dallas would have to file a brief in
answer to protests of Oklahoma
City bankers and that Oklahomans
would be given a hearing by the
federal reserve board during the
latter part of January or early in
February.
Mr. Trumbo is here attending the
conference of members of the cot-
ton loan commi'iees who will have
charge of $135,000,000 fund to be
loaned out to cotton growers;
It has been decided to go ahead
with loans, but owing to red tape
and restrictions, Mr. Trumbo does
not believe many people will avail
themselves of the loan.
Loans will be made on the basis
of six cents a pound with a margin
of twenty per cent and interest rate
of six per cent and no loan not ap-
plied for before February first will
be considered.

thirty thousand Indian land suits in

MORATORIUM! EXTENDED.
PARIS. Dec. 17.—A Madrid dis-
patch published In the Journal says:
"Reliable news says Emperor
William's condition, although re-
corded by the bulletins as improv-
ing. is giving great anxiety. His
doctors spoke of a serious sore
throat, following diphtheria, which
the emperor contracted during a
visit to the eastern front."
RAID ZEPPELIN SHEDS AGAIN?
BERNE, Switzerland, Dec. 17.—
A great deal of cannonading has
been heard against on the Swiss
.shore of Lake Constance proceeding
from Friedrichshaven, where search-
lights also are very busy. It is sup-
posed another aeroplane attack on
the Zeppelin sheds has taken place.
STINT THEMSELVES FOR POOR.

nied themselves luxuries and in
many instances necessities in order
to contribute to the community re-
lief fund for the poor.
CONCEDE Hl'STING'S ELECTION.
MADISON, Wis., Dec. 17.—With
the certifying of the election by the
state canvassing board of Paul O.
Husting, democratic candidate for
United States senator, Governor
Francis E. McGovern, republican,
concedes Mr. Husting's election, ac-
cording to a statement Tuesday by
A. C. Umbreit, attorney for the
governor.
Mr. Umbreit says that while ap-
parently promptness instead of ac-
curacy is to decide the election, it
would be useless to carry the con-
test before the United States senate
as the decision of the court puts
an end to the recount and makes
the securing of any further proof
of inaccuracy impossible.

A HEAVY SNOW IN
KANSAS-MISSOURI
KANSAS CITY, Dec. 19.—Kansas
and Missouri are buried under the
heaviest snowfall of the season to-
day. While the temperature is mod-
erate, the fall ranged in depth from
one to six inches. It was preceded
by a fine mist, which rendered
walks, roads and rails slippery.
Numerous accidents resulted. Street
car schedules in many of the towns
were demoralized and all railroads
report their trains from the west
late.

RECOMMENDS DISMISSAL
OF O.iiOO INDIAN SUITS
WASHINGTON, D. C„ Dec. 18.—
United States District Attorney D.
H. Linebough of Muskogee, has
been conferring with the officials of
tfcii department of justice and the in-
terior department relative to the
PETROGRAD, Dec. 18.—For the
fourth time since the beginning of
the war, financial settlements have
been postponed. The moratorium,
implying to all negotiable securities
dated before September 4 and ma-
turing before March 3, 1915, lias
been extended two months.
Business now appears to be bet-
ter than any time Bince the war be-
gan. This applies both to produc-
tion and trade.
PRINCE RECOVERING
AFTER AUTO SMASH
BERLIN, via London, Dec. 18.—
Prince August William, fourth son
of the Emperor, has recovered suf-
ficiently from injuries he suffered
in an automobile at the front sev-
eral weeks ago to be taken to Ber-
lin. He has arrived in the capital
in fairly good condition. Some
time, it is stated, will be needed for
his complete recovery.
TOLLS REACH A MILLION.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 18.—The
tolls on vessels making use of the
canal reached and passed the $1,-
000,000 mark November 18, repre-
senting duties collected from 297
vessels, of which thirty were In
ballast.
WARSAW RESIDENTS GAY.
WARSAW, Russian Poland, Dec.
18.—Notwithstanding the proximity
of Warsaw to the battle front, the
business of the city is proceeding as
in times of peace. Although the
sound of cannonading may be heard
at times, Christmas crowds throng
the streets. Shops and cafes are
decorated gayly and the holiday
spirit has dissipated the gloom of
war.
In every rank and class of so-
ciety there is supreme confidence
that Warsaw cannot be taken by
the Germans.
A S MAIL AUDIENCE
APPRECIATES SHOW
Miss May Stewart and company
Filled their second engagement at
the Sequoyah theatre last night pre-
senting Victor Hugo's sensational
drama, "Lucrezia Borgia."
Miss Stewart, in the character
Lucrezia, pleased the audience even
more than she did the previous
night as Juliet, and while the at-
tendance was smaller, the audience
showed their appreciation of the
company's work by frequent ap-
plause, causing sevoral rises of ttu.
curtain at the end of the acts.
It is to be really regretted that
the attendance at these perform-
ances was not greater as the turn-
out both evenings was not by any
means up to expectations or what
the company and manager were de-
serving of.
Mr. Thompson, manager of the
theatre, is no doubt considerably
discouraged at his unappreciated
effort to give the citizens of this
city something especially good in
the theatrical line and will in the
future have to be content in book-
ing repertoire companys that will
play at smaller prices.
TULSA, Okla.,Dec. 19.—Standing
ten for acquittal and two for con-
viction on every vote taken since the
tirst one more than fifty hours ago,
the twelve men in whoes hands rests
the fate of William J. Baber, charg-
ed with the murder of two I nited
States deputy marshals, at nine o'-
clock this morning asked to be dis-
charged unless an almost hopeless
verdict was reached at the last min-
ute.
When the jury filed in before
Judge Breckenridge last night, every
man showed the effects of the hard
two days and nights that the jury
has spent in arguing since t,he case
was given to it. The Jury,' only a
few hours after going out, asked
for a transcript of the evidence of
several witnesses and this took a
day and a half to prepare.
Reading the testimony did not
evidently change the mind ot a sing-
le juror for the foreman stated in
court that the vote had been ten to
two on every ballot taken.
Barber is charged with the murd-
er of Homes Davidson nnd Ed Plank,
whom he shot to death at his home
last July, when they came to search
his home for liquor. His defense at
the trial was that the two officers
had guns in their hands and were
seeking his life when he fired.
SHIPPING POULTRY.
(From Friday's Daily Arrow).
J. M. Williamson, proprietor of
the Mammouth poultry yards, is to-
day shipping a coop of line Light
Brahma chickens to II. E. Plog, of
Haskell, Okla. We hope the Mam-
mouth poultry y.trds will make a
success in Tahlequah, and grow in
popurlarity more every day.
CHOKES ON BEEFSTEAK;
DIES FIVE MINUTI S LATER
BROWNSVILLE, Texas, Dec. 21.
—While eating supper here Satur-
day night, E. V. Peterson of Norton,
Kansas, formerly a state senator
there, choked on a piece of steak,
and died within five minutes. Only

Peterson was 68 years old. His only (
child, Miss Penelope Peterson, reach-
ed New York city two days ago from
France, where she spent the past
four years.

BANQUET WITHOUT WINE;
GIVE COST TO CHARITY
CHICAGO. Dec. 21.—One hund-
red officials of the Illinois' Steel
company attended a wineless ban-
quet Saturday night and gave to
charity the money which is usually
spent for champagne at these af-
fairs. Instead of a dinner at $5 a
plate at a downtown hotel the offici-
als gathered in the club rooms of
the South Works, where the dinner
cost a dollar and gave four dollars
to the needy.
Signs discouraging use of intoxi-
cants among employes recently were
posted conspicuously throughout the
plants of the company.
SING POPULAR SONGS TO
DROWN VICTIM'S CRY
CHICAGO, Dec. 21.—Singing a
popular song to drown the cries of
their victim, seven men Saturday
night robbed Otto K. Slater of $348.
Slater' was attracted to the wine
room of a saloon by the singing of
the seven. As he entered two of the
seven stepped forward and held him,
firmly. Then they all sang," Every-1
body Works But Father," while a
third robber went through Slater's
pockets. |
