through it. had pain about my eyes, dizziness
and noises in my head. In the morning there
seemed to be shadow over my eyes. Then the
catarrhal secretion began to dropin into my throat,
causing me to hawk and spit.
FINALLY. after suffering for about three years,
l took typhoid pneumonia, and from that time
1 rapidly grew worse. My lungs became very
weak and felt tight, oppressive feeling in my
chest; my breath became short and cough set
in. My appetite failed, had full, uncomforta-
BILE feeling after eating. and my stomach felt
very sore and tender. l could not sleep well,
and had weary tired feeling. Every change
of weather would cause me to take cold, night
sweats weakened me and i lost flesh.

made by the Catarrh Specialists at 1913 Penn av-

the apex in the form of cross. chiseled his
name and date of birth, and thinking he would
die between the wears of $50 and ~ he cut the
three figures "lSS'-on the face of the stone.
Not dying within that time, the old man
seemed somewhat disappointed. but set
cheerfully 10 work and cancelled the last
and substituted a 9 and sent the stone to his

be and are to come. That pretty little
suite Of rooms in the big Grammercv apart
mont house where Minnie and John have
lived for months like tabled turtle doves in

are put out, the steam heat il turned off
and all is loneliness and desolation. An
all this is because of a mother-in-law.
These two merry-makers, who have been
regarded for eight long and eventful years
have separated. Perhaps the severance has
not come to last, but the fact remains that
Miss Palmer has flown to tho protecting
arms of her mother and is in Mysteries, has
employed both lawyer and physician,

Outlaws.
KANSAS CRY. Nov, 21.-Secretary Blair,
Of the Cherokee Strip Live Stock associa-
tion, is in the city, and tells q startling
story of ruin and desolation now in order in
the strip. He expressed the opinion that
within thirty days from the time the strip
was vacated by ranchmen, all improve
ments made there will be possessed BY
thieves from Oklahoma and Kansas, unless
the government orders out troops TO pro-
teo. the property. The terms OF the lease
provided that all permanent improvements
revert to the use and ownership of the Cher
okees when the cattlemen vacate. The
value of the entire improvements is placed
at half q million dollars. In the suit Of the
association against j. Il. Stoller, one of the
tenants, for non-payment of rent, the
judge to-day instructed the jury to find for
plaintiff, declaring the associations lease
with the Indians valid, and declared the
Indians owners of the strip. The associa-
ton will now sue the United States govern
ment for damages. in a sum aggregatinR q
million of dollars.
