April 2 Tulsa is to vote on a bond
issue of $333,000 for various munici-
pal betterments.
DOCTORS FAILED
RESTORED BY PERUNA
- PEKIN IS SACKED
The twenty-five Comanche and
Apache Indians under the charge -of
Major Good of Fort Sill, who have been
in Guthrie before the grand jury as
witnesses in liquor cases, departed for
Lawton. The Indians had a special
car.
A voluntary petition in bankruptcy
was filed in the federal court at Guth-
rie by the Butts IClectrical company
of 218 North Harvey, Oklahoma City.
Debts are placed at $2,234.77 and as-
sets, including real estate, which is
said to be exempt, $3,861.01.
At a masB meeting of the citizens
of McAlester It was determined to
nominate and elect several women as
members of the school board in the
event that an elctlon is held in the
spring. Heretofore the McAlester
school board has been composed of
men only.
Claiming that they had heard a
juror In the trial of W. L. Norton, the
Bartlesville banker, make a statement
which indicated that he was prejudiced
against Norton, attorneys for Norton
made application before Judge Camp-
bell In the federal court for a sub-
poena for the juror. The application
was denied.
Registration of voters for the spring
elections was held in Tulsa and many
women registered. The city school
district will vote on April 4 on the
proposition to bond for $350,000 for
school buildings. The city election
will be held at the same time. Worn-
ens' clubs are warring on tTie school
board.
Complaint has been filed with the
corporation commission by citizens of
Adair, Mayes county, against the Katy
railroad, asking that the company be
compelled to erect a depot at that
place. An empty box car "was used un-
til June 21, when it was burned. Since
that time the town has been without
a station of any kind.
H. P. Nichols, driller of the Altus
deep well, will cease drilling at 2,200
feet and pull the casing. The hole
lacks only a few feet of being com-
pleted and is as dry as a bone. About
$17,000 has been sunk in the well and
the outcome is a bitter disappointment
to the stockholders who confidently ex-
pected to find water, oil or gas.
President A. A. Small put the quietus
on the reports that the Union Traction
company, of Tulsa, has held out, or
that there is to be undertaken the
building of an electric line to Sapulpa.
The report started with the filing of
a trust deed by the West Tulsa Belt
line for $110,000. The Frisco is taking
over this road.
That a wife can not be required to
make good her deceased husband's de-
falcations was the holding of Judge
John H. Cotteral in the federal court
at Guthrie in taking from the jury tin-
case of C. A. Burton Manufacturing
company vs. Laura Davies and direct-
ing a verdict for the defendant. The
woman's husband was formerly the
company's employe and Is alleged to
have been $16,000 short in his ac-
counts with the concern. At the time
of his death lie left all of his property
to her, and Included a provision in his
will to the effect that all of his debts
should be paid.
Eugene Collins has bought the Okla-
homa Knitting Mill at Chickasha at a
forced sale. The kniting mill was lo-
cated in Chickasha several years ago
but has never been put in operation.
Mr. Collins is one of the prominent cot-
ton ginners in the state and expects to
operate the mill.
Let ub urge the raising of more poul-
try In Oklahoma this year. It should
be done.
Catarrh of the Lungs
Threatened Her Life
Miss Ninette Porter, Braintree, Ver-
mont, writes: "I have been cured by
Peruna.
'I had several hemorrhages of the
lungs. The doctors did not help me
much and would never have cured me,
"I saw a testimonial in a Peruna
almanac of a case similar to mine, and
I commenced using it.
"I was not able to wait on myself
when I began using it. I gained very
slowly at first, but I opuld see that it
was helping me.
"After I had taken it a while I com-
menced to raise up a stringy, sticky
substance from my lungs. This grew
less and less in quantity as I contin-
ued the treatment.
"I grew more fleshy than I had been
for a long time, and now I call myself
well."

When a certain Baltimore matron
returned home one afternoon not so
long ago the first sight her eyes be-
held was a badly damaged youngster
of hers. Little Bobby's forehead bore
a bump almost the size of a doorknob.
"Heavens!" exclaimed the mother.
"What has happened to Bobby?"
"Nuthln' much, mum," explained the
new nurse. "You told me, mum, he
might play on the planner if he wanted
to. Well, mum, wanst while he was slid-
ing on the top, he slid a bit too far,
mum; an' that accounts for the bump
ye see, mum."

Albert Morris Bagley was being con-
gratulated at the Waldorf-Astoria in
New York on the success of his "mu-
sical mornings."
"I Impute my success," he said, "to
the fact that I engage no talent that 1
don't know thoroughly. In entertain-
ment, as In matrimony, knowledge Is
most important."
Then Mr. Bagby smiled and spl.d:
"Two ladies were talking the other
day about the Chinese revolution. The
younger lady said:
" 'Isn't it dreadful In China? A
woman doesn't know her husband till
she marries him.'
"The other lady, a divorcee, answer
ed bitterly:
" 'I didn't know my husband till I
married him, either.'"—St. Louis

Pekin, China—A mutiny of Yuan Shi
Kal's soldiers began in Pekln at 8
o'clock Thursday night. Many natives
have been killed or -wounded, but so
far as known all foreigners are safe.
The legation quarter is crowded, but
the missionaries are holding forCh in
their own compounds.
When the outbreak occurred it was
estimated 2,000 soldiers took part, but
since then the mutineers have been
augmented by large numbers of the
police, coolies and loafers. The lega-
tions know no reason for the out-
break. The Idea is expressed that
Yuan Shi Kal's soldiers began the
trouble when they learned that he

Mnny a girl repents at leisure be-
cause she didn't marry In haste.
Mexico City.—No immediate steps j
will be taken to dislodge the rebels
from Juarez either by siege or battle.
Instead the government will devote
its energies to cleaning up the district
about Torreon and Chihuahua. This, !
according to information obtainable j
Wednesday, was the conclusion j
reached by administration officials |
after the difficulties of starving out
the insurrectos had been thoroughly
canvassed.
On the other hand military opera-
tions are to be pushed vigorously in
the Laguna district. Troops are be-
ing sent into that territory from Sal-
tillo and Monterey and results are ex-
pected to be realized within a very
few days.
What stand Orozco will take after
tho expiration Thursday of the period
of service covered by his promise to
Madero some weeks ago when he ex-
pressed a desire to retire, appears to
bo giving concern. Government offi-
cials would not venture an opinion,
but there was evident a lack of con-
fidence in hi sloyalty.

A WOMAN DOCTOR
Was Quick to See That Coffee Poison
Was Doing the Mischief.
A lady tells of a bad case of coffee
poisoning, and tells It In a way so sim-
ple and straightforward that literary
skill could not improve it.
"I had neuralgic headaches for 12
years," she says, "and have suffered
untold agony. When I first began to
have them I weighed 140 pounds, but
they brought me down to 110.
"I went to many doctors and they
gave me only temporary relief. So I
suffered f n, till one day, a woman
doctor advised me to drink Postum.
She said I looked like I was coffee
poisoned.
"So I began to drink Postum, and
gained 15 pounds in the first few
weeks ar.d am still gaining, but not so
fast as at first. My headaches began
to leave me after I had used Postum
about two weeks—long enough, I ex-
pect, to get the coffee poison out of
my system.
"Now that a few months have pass-
ed since I began to use Postum, I can
gladly say that I never know what a
neuralgic headache is liko any more,
and it was nothing but Postum that
relieved me.
"Before I used Postum I never
went out alone; I would get bewilder-
ed and would not know which way to
turn. Now I go alone and my head
Is as clear as a beK. My brain and
nerves are stronger than they have
been for years." Name given by
Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

ed in the little book, "The Road to
Wellville," in pkgs.
