ALL RUN DOWN.
Miss Delia Stroebe, who had Cotn-
picUly Lost Her Health, Found
Relief from Pe-ru-na at Once.
Read What She Says:
MISS DELLA STROEBE, 710 Rich-
mond St., Appletou, Wis., writes:
"For several years I was in a run*
down condition, and I could find no re-
lief from doctors and medicincs. I
could not enjoy my meals, and could
not sleep at night. I had heavy, dark
circles about the eyes.
"My friends were much alarmed. I
was advised to give Peruna a trial, and
to my joy I began to improve with the
first bottle. After taking six bottles I
felt completely cured. 1 cannot say too
mueh for Peruna as a medicine for
wemen in a run-down condition."
Pe-ru-na Did Wonders.
Mrs. Judge J. P. Boyer, 1421 Sherma#
Ave., Evanston, 111., says that she be-
came run down, could neither eat nor
sleep well, and lost ilesh and spirit. Pe-
runa did wonders for her, and she thanks
Peruna for new life and strength,
Sam's Idea.
During one of the big political con
rentions a train load of delegates were
stalled at a water tank. As the day
was sultry the windows were raised
and the delegates leaned out. Every
head that appeared was bald.
"Boss," said an old colored man who
was selling sandwiches, "what train
do you call dat dar?"
"Why, Sam, that is the 'cannon-ball
express,' " responded the conductor.
The old man watched the bald headi
protruding from the windows for a
long while and then said, seriously:
"Cannon-ball express? Lands, boss,
looks to me more like de billiard-ball
xpiess."
The extraordinary popularity of fine
white goods thii summer makes the
choice of StarchTO matter of great im-
portance. Defiance Starch, being free
from all injurious chemicals, is the
only one which is safe to use on fine
fabrics. Its great strength as a stiffen-
er makes half the usual quantity ol
Starch necessary, with the result of
perfect finish, equal to that when the
.goods were new.
The next best thing to knowing how
to get a thing is knowing how to get
along without it.

SHE IS THE MOST TALKED-ABOUT STATE IN THE UNION
Improving Arkansas River, — Cap-
tain James Trainor and a government
crew of eight men have arrived at
Muskogee from Little Rock and com-
menced pulling snags from the chan-
nel of the Arkansas river to aid navi-
gation between Muskogee and Fort
Smith. Oklahoma has scored in its
efforts to secure government assist-
ance to open navigation. This is the
first work the government has done
on this section of the river since the
Civil war.
Has Given 1,188 Opinions.—Attor-
ney General Charles J. West has sub-
mitted his report to Governor Has
kell, showing that his office during
the eight months since statehood has
rendored 1,188 legal opinions, as com-
pare with 182 opinions rendered by
!he attorney general of Pennsylvania
in two years. The great volume of
opinions was made necessary by the
demands upon the office, owing to the
transition of two territories to a
state form Ot government and the
many perplexing problems arising
therefrom. The report states that
the corporation commission, thro-^h
the assistance of the attorney genit-
al's department, since statehood, has
secured reductions of freight rates,
saving the people a total of $3,020,000
a year. It also states that the cor-
porations, commissions and attorneys
general of Oklahoma, Texas and Ar-
kansas have been brought into har-
monious working relations as a result
of conferences at Oklahoma City and
Austin, Texas.
Stolidly Accepts Freedom. — With
the same stolid countenance with
which she sat day by day for five
weeks, listening to evidence in which
it was sought to convict her in con-
nection with the murder of her hus-
band, Mrs. Lila Meadows received her
liberty at the hands of the jury at
Oklahoma City, after it had been bal-
loting on the case for over 24 hours.
Twenty ballots were necessary before
the jury reached a verdict. Eight of
the jury were at no time of the opin-
ion that she was guilty. Rudolph
Tegeler'is now serving a life sentence
in the penitentiary for the murder
of James Meadows. The crime oc-
curred on the night of June 4, 1907.
It was one of the most noted crim-
inal cases in the hitsory of the city.
The trial' of Tegeler lasted over five
weeks. He was convicted on cir-
cumstantial evidence. The same evi-
dence used in the Tegeler trial was
introduced against Mrs. Meadows, but
was insufficient to show any direct
connection concerning her and the
killing.
Mrs. Chambers Leaves Board.—
Governor Haskell has removed Mrs.
T. G. Chambers of Oklahoma City,
from the state text books commission.
J. F. King of Newkirk, was named as
her successor. The reason for the
action is contained in a statement,
to the effect that Mrs. Chambers'
husband is a member of the law firm
of Flynn & Ames of Oklahoma City,
which the governor characterizes
with having represented the Maynard,
Merrill Book company. An effort
also was made to remove J. H.
Barnes, assistant principal of the
Enid school, from the board, because
of his alleged relationship with Sup-
erintendent J. B. Taylor of the Okla-
homa City schools, who is alleged
to have been connected with the Ginn
Book company. This effort failed,
however, and Governor Haskell an-
nounces that Barnes will not be re-
moved. Superintendent Taylor ap-
peared before the commission and de-
nied that he is of blood relation to
Mr. Barnes or that he has had any
connection with the Ginn company.
West Gives an Opinion.—In an opin
ion rendered at the request of an
Oklahoma druggist, Attorney General
Charles J. West holds that under the
provisions of the Billups law it would
not be legal for a druggist to fill a
prescription for pure alcohol, and that,
such a prescription would have to
be filled at the dispensary.
To Evade $500 Fines. — Theodore
Ellis and Will Davis, members of the
election board of Murray county, ap-
peared in the supreme court and se-
cured a writ of supersedeas to pre-
vent Judge R. McMillan of the district
court from enforcing a fine of $500
upon each of them for contempt of
court. A few days ago the board
refused to place the names of some
twenty county and township officers
upon the primary election ballot be-
cause of alleged irregularities in fil-
ing their petitions. Judge McMillan
ordered the board to place the names
on the ballot and it refused. The
court then fined them $1 each and
notified them that in case of failure
to place the names on the ballot by
next Monday each will be fined $500.
The order of the supreme court pre-
vents the enforcement of the fines
until a hearing can be had.
Cotton Market.
New York, July 31. — The cotton
market was at unchanged prices to
an advance of 4 points, August being
higher on a little covering promoted
by reports that the bull clique was
stopping the notices estimated at
about 10,000 bales. There was no
aggressive support, however, and
shortly after the opening prices eased
off slightly with the new crop seiling
1@3 points net lower under scattering
liquidation and favorable weather re-
ports. Business during the middle of
the morning was very quiet, awaiting
the government report, and prices
about net unchanged on the active
positions. Auggust sold off to 9.80,
but rallied again to the opening fig-
ures.

Caused a Clerk's Arrest.—George
McDaniels, clerk in the office of Unit-
ed States Indian agent, was arrested
at Muskogee, charged with swindling
Susan Shults, a pretty 18-year-old
Cherokee girl, of her land by induc-
ing her to sign a deed when she
thought she was giving him power
of attorney. McDaniels gave bond.
Will Fight Federal Suits. — At a
mass meeting, the citizens of Atoka
and Atoka county, who have been
sued by the fedearl government in
the United States court, for the east-
ern district of Oklahoma to cancel
conveyances made by Indians and
freedmen, by resolution, unanimously
adopted, condemning the action of
the federal government in bringing
suits as unjust, illegal and without
authority of law and a reflection upon
the honesty of the citizenship of the
country, and decided to fight the suits
to the last ditch.
Must Stop Seizirtg Liquor.—A de-
cision which constitutes a knockout
blow to state prohibition enforcement
officers who have been making pro-
miscuous confiscations of liquors in
various towns of the state was ren-
dered by United States Judge Cotteral
in the federal court at Enid. He
grants a temporary injunction asked
for by a distilling company of Kan-
sas City to restrain Robert Lozier,
state dispensary agent, and certain
officers of Logan, Custer and Okla-
homa counties from seizing interstate
shipments of liquor which have been
consigned to Oklahoma customers by
"shipers' orders" or from otherwise
interfering with the interstate busi-
ness of that company, even though
goods are branded only with the in-
itials of purchaser. Attorney General
West was also made a party in the
case, but the court decided that the
injunction will not lie against him,
as there is no evidence that he has
taken a hand in the seizures. State
Dispensary Agent Lozier is enjoined
from further receiving such liquors
and from preventing inspection of
such shipments by owners for the
purpose of identification and from in-
terfering with recovery of such goods
in his possession.
Cross to Sail After Reunion.—State
Secretary Cross will attend the stale
encampment of the United Confed-
erate Veterans at Sulphur, August
10-13, and will go directly from there
to New York, whence he will sail for
Europe to represent Oklahoma at the
world-wide educational gathering in
London next month.
Waurika Hotel Burns.—The Wau
rika Hotel, valued at about $5,000
together with its contents, was de
stroyed by fire. The building was
two stories high and of frame con-
struction.
Double Murder in Tulsa.—Because
his wife had failed to meet him in
Claremore and give him $150, the
balance of the proceeds of the sale
of 40 acres of land, Clay Harris,
member of a prominent Tulsa family
shot and killed his wife and child
and critically wounded Walter Vann,
driver of an American Express wagon,
who had been an eye witness to the
tragedy, which occurred in Tulsa. He
attempted the lives of two other per
sons, then held up a man driving by
in a buggy and, making him get out.
entered t* e rig and fled for the Osage
nation.
WHY HE WAS WORRIED.
Fly In the Ointment That Wai Handed
to Good Man.
"Why," asked the good man's wife,
are you so thoughtful? You look as if
something disagreeable had happened.
"Perhaps," he replied, "I am fool-
ish to feel as I do about it. My con-
gregation has raised a purse for the
purpose of sending me to Europe."
"And are you sorry it isn't large
enough to enable you to • take me
with you? Don't let that cause you
to feel depressed. It will be very
lonely here without you, but I know
•ou need the rest, and I shall be very
sensible. I can spend the summer at
some quiet, inexpensive place, cheered
ay the thought that you will return
refreshed in mind and body."
"It is very good of you to look at It
in that way, my dear. I appreciate
your feeling. But the gentleman who
made the presentation speech said he
was sorry the amount that had been
raised was not larger so that I might
be able to remain away longer, and
somehow it seemed to me that ap-
plause was more hearty at that point
than anywhere else in the course of
his remarks."—Chicago Reoord-Her-

County Seat Wars Apparently Fizzle.
-Erick has called off its fight against
Sayre for the county seat of Beckham
county and a message was received
at Guthrie asking that its suit In the
supreme court be dismissed. Sayre
won at the election by a very nar-
row margin, but now seems to have
the matter cinched. Another county
seat contest which seems likely to
fizzle out is that of Krebs against
McAlester, In Pittsburg county. Krebs
has claimed to he in the exact center
of the county, but the official meas
urements have shown that the geo-
graphical center of the county Is in-
side the city limits of McAlester.

IT SEEMED INCURABLE
Body Raw with Eczema—Discharged
from Hospitals as Hopeless—Cutl-
cura Remedies Cured Him.
"From the age of three months until
fifteen years old, my son Owen's life
was made intolerable by eczema in its
worst form. In spite of treatments the
disease gradually spread until nearly
every part of his body was quite raw.
He used to tear himself dreadfully in
his sleep and the agony he went
through is quite beyond words. The
regimental doctor pronounced the case
hopeless. We had him in hospitals
four times and he was pronounced one
of the worst cases ever admitted.
From each he was discharged as in-
curable. We kept trying remedy
after remedy, but had gotten almost
past hoping for a cure. Six months
ago we purchased a set of Cuticura
Remedies. The result was truly mar-
velous and to-day he 1j perfectly cured.

Mme. Fairfax was wont to stand on
the porch of her old Virginia home |
and rejoice on moonlight nights in the !
beauty, says the Youth's Companion. !
"There's my moon," she would say, ;

hills, ixiok, Dahlia, see how beauti- |
ful it is," and her tiny colored maid,
who was ever at hand with shawl or ,
fan for her beloved mistress, would
answer, enthusiastically: "Your moon j

When Mme. Fairfax journeyed to

A little girl waB playing with a girl
friend of her own age on the porch of
her home in West Philadelphia.
An elderly gentleman, her mother's
father, and an elderly lady, her fa-

porch talking pleasantly with each
other. The little girl had often wished
her grandparents were of the same
name, like other children's grand-
parents.
Presently the little guest feniarked:
"What a nice grandmother and grand-
father you have"
"Oh, yes," she said, with a sigh, "but
they don't match."
"You look worried, old man!"
"Yes. Mad three proposals last

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear-

ble can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied

than American children of the

brought up according to the English
