I suffered for four years with eczema
on the ends of eight of my fingers. Had
it so long my fingers drew up and
could do nothing at all at times, and I
tried almost everything that I ever
heard of, including several largely ad-
vertised ointtnents, spending many dol-
lars for them. Never a thing did it
any good at all. At last I saw in a
home paper Hunt's Cure was being ad-
vertised and tried only a part of one
box, which cost me only 50c, and it
cured them. Now I can wash or do
anything which before I could not
without my fingers bleeding, burning
and paining me very much. If this ever
comes back I surely will know just
what to get. I wish every friend and
stranger that had anything of the kind
could have seen my fingers before I
used this and see them now. It is the
best Ointment on earth. That 50c
box was worth a hundred dollars to
me. You deserve all thanks that can
be given you for that wonderful salve,
Hunt's Cure."

Perfectly Reckless.
The members of the church voted
that their dearly-beloved and devoted
pastor should have a vacation, and so
he decided that he would visit a broth-
er-worker in the neighboring village.
This good brother recognizing his
fellow-worker in the Lord way back
among the congregation, on Sunday
morning, and wishing to show every
courtesy, asked him to lead in prayer.
But the visitor calmly replied: "You'll
have to excuse me, dear brother, I'm
on my vacation."—Ladies' Home Jour-

PERUNA
For Catarrh of the Throat of Two
Years' Standing.
•«I was afflicted for two years with
catarrh of the throat. At first it was
very slight, but every cold I took made
it worse.
"I followed your directions and in a
very sbort time I began to improve. I
took one'bottle and am now taking
my second. I can safely say that my
throat and head are cleared from ca-
tarrh at the present time, but I still
continue to take my usual dose for a
spring tonic, and I find there is noth-
ing better."—Mrs. W. Pray, 260

Group of Indiana Factories Latest
Project for Oklahoma Town
Sapulpa, Okla.—J. F. Adamson, rep-
resenting six factory enterprises of
Parker City, Ind., is here, and proba-
bly will locate the entire group in
Sapulpa. The project represents
$500,000 and about 1,600 empolyes
with a monthly payroll of $50,000. The
factories, it is estimated, would use
1,000 000 cubic feet of gas every day.
Adamson was attracted by the
great abundance of gas near Sapulpa.
Within the past four months Sapulpa
has secured a 35,000 barrel oil refin-
ery, a $400,000 packing plant, $75,-
000 interurban railroad, $350,000 sew-
erage and water system. The popu-
lation has increased from 6,000 to 10,-
000 in the last year.

Governor Haskall Will Not Be Ar-
raigned Again
Tulsa, Okla.—Dead letter laws com-
bined with political plots make a good
mixture for the vindication of falsely
accused men. This was forcibly illus-
trated in the indictment, arraignment
and dismissal of Governor Haskell
and other men of former Indian Terri-
tory, charged with frauds in the pro-
curing and transferring of town lots.
Color was lent to the concoction Mon-
day when, having been struck dumb
by the silence of United States Attor-
ney General Wickersham, Sylvester
Rush, special prosecutor for the gov-
ernment, and Oliver T. Pagen, expert
indictment drawer, folded their tents
and stole quietly away.
McClure, an intermarried citizen of
the Chickasaw tribe, two tracts of
land which are included in the town- j
site of Tuttle. He platted it into lots j
and blocks, and sold a number of lots,
contracting to give deeds when he re-
ceived deeds from the chiefs of the |
two tribes.
Later on by order of the secretary j
of the interior the Chickasaw Town-
site Commission decided to segregate !
the Tuttle townslte and scheduled
lots to the people who were ocupy- :
ing them. Dowden claimed that this
was illegally done, and brought suit !
against 113 occupants of lots in Tut
tie for possession of the same; also
against Governor Green McCurtain of 1
the Choctaw tribe and Governor D. I.
Johnson of the Chickasaw tribe, to I
compel them to issue patents to him '
for the land.
Shut Down Does Not Affect Lumber
Prices
Oklahoma City, Okla.—Shutdowns
in lumber camps will not materially
affect the price of lumber, is the be- j
lief of most lumbermen. They say :
that the demand for lumber during
the past two years has been consid- j
erably less than the supply, thus en- j
abling the mills and men in the lum- |
ber camps to produce more than was j
necessary. Local men believe that
the shut down is due to this fact and j
have been watching for this to occur j
for several months past.
Railroads are among the heavy buy- I
ers of lumber, consuming about forty I
per cent of all the yellow pine pro-
duction. When the panic of 1907 came
they ceased buying and have not been
buying since that time. This has been
one of the main factors in bringing
about an over supply.

Confesses P. O. Robbery
Chandler, Okla.—Luther Bunton, 16,
confessed to postal inspector R. V.
Leahy that he had taken part in the
robbery of the postofflce at Newby,
near Bristow, last Tuesday night.
Frauk Lee, 18, Bunton's companion, j
Is under arrest in connection with j
the robbery. Bunton implicated his
friend in his confession.
The officers were baffled by the dis-
appearance of $62 worth of stamps j
and $40 in cash from the safe of the |
Newby postofflce. A few days ago Lee J
Aiken, a farmer near Chandler, saw
two boys in a vacant farm house. He j
investigated the premises after they j
had left and found the stolen stamps,
lie reported his discovery to the lo- j
cal authorities and the arrest of the
boys followed.
