"KINO" IS DHAD
All te sorrow in the home of Mr.
and Mrs. L. J. Lantz, the cause there-
fore being the death of Mr. Lanti's
favorite bird dog, ''King", which oc-
curred Sunday evening at eleven
o'clock, after an illness of only two
days duration.
It was noticed that "King" was
not feeling the best in the world Sat-
urday, bnt little was thought about
the matter, and Sunday he seemed
a great deal better.
Although tbe dog showed numer-
ous symptoms of being poisoned, his
master does not belelve that such is
the case, for it Is known that "KfTTg"
had not an enemy in the world.
He was burled with all military
honors Monday.

Dr. Levi, the eye specialist, will
be in Stigler on Thursday and Fri-
day, May 9 and 10. As usual his of-
fioey will be with Dr. McKinley. tf.

shots passed throuRh his shoulders
from side to side not more than an
inch or two apart.
As he heard the sound of, the first
shot McCollough started to run,
throwing hiB hands above his head,
and was almost directly in front ot
Davis when the fourth shot struck
him in the back, passing through his
back from side to side, and just
missing the spinal column.
After tbe shooting Davie calmly
walked back up tbe stairway, and
closely following him cane Mayor
Perry Miller, of Muskogee, to whom
Davis handed his winchester, and
surrendered to him. Davis was
then taken to jail.
Several theories have been
propounded to the effect that Max-
well and McCollough were lured to
the spot, where Davis lay in wait
for them.
Maxwell and McCullough were in
Muskogee as witnesses in the case of
Herman Weaver, who was being
tried on a charge of introducing
liquor into the Indian Territory.
Maxwell was a deputy constable at
Porum, and assisted In the arrest of
Weaver. The hearing was set for
two o'clock and it is presumed by
Officers that Maxwell and Mc-
Cullough were on their way to the
Federal building when the shooting
ocurred.
Davis insistB on a speedy trial,
and his attorney S. M. Rutherford
was wired, and soon Reached his
side. He was brought before Jus-
tice of the Peace Bailey Tuesday
morning and plead not guilty. His
preliminary hearing has been set for
Tuesday of next week, April 23.
Meantime Davis U not permitted to
make any statements for the press

MANY POTATOES
ARE IMPORTED
Washington, April 25.—The fact
that 2, 500,000 bushels of potatoes
were imported into the United States
in February, or about twice as much
as the average annual importations
during the decade ending with 1912,
lends interest to figures complied by
the bureau of Btktistics, department
of commerce an dlabor, showing the
imports of foodstuffs into the United
States. Imports of foodstuffs of all
kinds in the eight months ending
with February, 1912, aggregated
$262,000,000, against $224,000,000
in the corresponding period in 1911
and $145,000,000 in 1902, having
thus nearly doubled In ten years.
The chief growth in the United
States, such as coffee, tea, coca and
tropical fruits.
Coffee, coca and tea—Imports un-
der his head have greatly increased
during the decade, though in coffee
the growth is solely due to higher
prices. Eight months' Imports of
coffee show a decrease in quantity
from 769,000,000 pounds in 1912
while the value increased from $49,-
000,000 to $78,000,000 the average
import price advancing from 6.3
cents per pound in 1902 to nearly
13 cents in 1912. Coca imports in
the eight months under review in-
creased from 34,000,000 pounds in
1902 to 79,000,000 in the current
fiscal year, and the value, including
prepared cocoa and chocolate, from
$4,500,000 to over $9,000,000. Tea
imports have also increased both in
quality and value, the eight months'
figures being $7,000,000 pounds,
valued at $15,225,000, compared
with 64,000,000 pounds, valued at
$8,000,000 a decade earlier.
Sugar—Of course the imports
are about the same as in 1900,
though higher prices give the im-
ports of the present year a value cf
more than that of a dozen years
earlier. Eight months' Imports in
1900 aggregated 2,150,000,000
pounds valued at $45,500,000; 1
1912, 2,153,000,000 pounds valued
at $59,500,000, the average price
for each period being 2.2c and 2.3c
per pound, respectfully. These
figures do not include, in either of
the years named, the sugar from
Portorico and Hawaii now customs
districts of the United States.
Fruit and vegetables—Imports of
fruits and nuts are increasing at a
rate of about $3,000,000 a year, the
eight months' figures having advanc-
ed from $23,500,000 in 1910 to
$26,500,000 in 1911 and $29,500,-
000 in 1912, or considerably more
than double the total of $13,500,000
recorded in the eight months of 1902.
Bananas, almonds, cocoanuts and
copra scorcd the largest gain under
this head, while raisins and oranges
have lost gronnd during the decade.
Raisins have decreased from six mil-
lion pounds in eight months of 1902
to 3,000,000 in 1912, and oranges
from 38,000,000 pounds to less than
7,000,000. In Imports of vegetables
the increase from $1,667,000 in eight
months of 190# to $10,500,000 in
the elapsed months of the current
year is chiefly due to the unusually
large increase in potatoes already
noted. Eight months' importfe of
potatoes grew from $47,098 In value
in 1900 to nearly $3,000,000 in 1912
Beans and dried peas more than
doubled In a decade, from $931,-
827 in eight months of 19C2 to $2,-
290,209 In 1912.
Breadstuff—Under the title "bread
stuffs'' the bureau groups wheat,
corn, oatB, rice, farinaceous sub-
stances, (tapicoca, etc.,) flour, mac-
aroni, bread and biscuit, making a
total for the eight months of over
$10,000,000, against $3,000,000 the
same months of 1902.
Meats and food animals—Of
Pale Faces
Pale-faced, weak, and
shaky women—who suffer
every day with womanly
weakness—need the help
of a gentle tonic, with
a building action on the
womanly system. If you are
weak—you need Cardui,
the woman's tonic, because
Cardui will act directly on
the cause of your trouble.
Cardui has a record of
more than 50 years of
success. It must be good.

_The Woman's Tonlc_
Mrs. Effie Graham, of
Willard, Ky., says: "I
was so weak I could
hardly go. I suffered,
nearly every month, for 3
years. When I began to
take Cardui, my back hurt
awfully. I only weighed
99 pounds. Not long after.
I weighed 115. Now, I
do all my work, and am
in good health." Begin
taking Cardui, today.
meat and dairy products the eight
months' imports increased from $2,-
183,338 in 1902 to $9,172,905 in
1912. Cheese formed more than half
this total, its growth in the period
named being from $1,745,754 to
$5,774,664. Sausage and sausage
casings and cream are the other items
of importance. Of food animals, im-
ported, cattle is the leading item
eight months' imports having in-
creased from $906,666 in 1902 to
$2,817,538 in 1912. Imports cf
fish, mostly cod, herring, hake, had-
dock, lobsters and shrimps, in-
creased from $6,421,297 in eight
months of 1902 to $11,101,(86 in
1912.
Spirits, wines and malt liquors—
Under this head the growth in tin-
ports has been comparatively small,
from $9,590,000 In eight months of
1902 to $12,509,000 in 1912.
Wines have Increased less than a -
half million doRars compared with
the eight months' figures of 1912
and decreased $2,••0,080 compared
with 1910.
Other imported foostuffs include
for the eight months of 1912 mineral
waters and other non-alcoholic bev-
erages, $1,074,093; spices, $3,638,-
718; and *«flble ®«vs oil, $3,471,117.
