often as he chose, provided he did not
use a stick thicker than his thumb.
They gave him all her property abso-
lutely at marriage, and denied her the
right to make will or to act as exc
cutrix, or to assert any rights OF own
ership over the money which had been
given 10 her by her own father. They
subjected her to the ignominious and
disgraceful punishment Of the duck

JEFF DAVIS At FORT GIBSON.
The Hsuss Hs oeeupisa Half 4 Csatury Ago
Still Stands.


The Hsu,s Hs Occupied Half = C.atury Ago
Still Stands.
An order was recently Issued by the
war department. turning over the
abandoned military reservation Of
Fort Gibson. /. T.. 10 the interior de.
partment for disposition as provided
by law.
Jefferson Davis at one time lived ut
Fort Gibson, which is ninety-fve miles
south Of Coffeyville. Kas., and about
twenty-five miles from Tallequah. the
territorial capital. 1t is small place.
A railway station, small tavern, a
cotton gin and few scattered houses
identify it completely.
Davis lived there in 1888. when it
was fort in more than name. His
house was the first white mans dwell
ing erected at the place He was
captain of n company OF soldiers
which was stationed there to preserve
peace among the Indians. The gov
ernment had just been engaged in
wars with the Comanches. Seminoles
and Pawnees. Several tribes had been
confined in the territory and the troops
were established there to prevent an
uprising. The fort has now been
abandoned by the government and the
troops stationed at Fort Reno. just
west OF Oklahoma territory. The fort
stiH stands.
Davis being an officer. had quarters
outside tho regular barracks aud lived
in small house some distance from
the fort His wife. the daughter OF
Zachariah Taylor, was with him. and
the sensation OF their elopement had
hardly subsidized ut this time. The
house they lived in stands yet, but it
is in a dilapidated condition. 1t was
built in 1888. 1t has never been kept
in repair. At one time it was re-
spectacle and even elegant domicile
for that country. 1t is one story high,
built OF logs and covered with weather
boards. At each end stands large,
square brick fireplace. These fire.
places are now the only substantial
looking parts OF the building. The
roof says. many shingles swell the
number OF mysterious disappearances,
a narrow porch along the side OF the
house is battered and decayed. doors
are broken down and windows broken
in.
The house is located on the military
reservation and the late order from
tho war department turning it over
to the interior department will prob
ably be the cause OF its being torn
down.
In Dav;s's Fort Gibson days there
lived at the fort Catholic priest,
Father Dodson. Among his accom-
plishments was playing the piano and
he had an instrument with him. He
died some years ago md bequeathed
this instrument to Mrs. w. p. Ross,
who keeps the Ross hotel, homely
hostelry OF six rooms at the fort This
venerable musical mechanism has
still q remarkably good tone. although
it is now over seventy-fve years old.

The Parent of Insomnia.

The parent of insomnia or wakefulness
is in nine cases out of ten dyspeptic
stomach. Good digestion gives sound
sleep, indigestion interferes with it. The
brain and stomach sympathizes. One of
the prominent symptoms of weak state
of the gastric organs is a disturbance Of
the great nerve entrepot, the brain. In
vigorate the stomach, and you restore
equilibrium to the great centre. A most
reliable medicine for the purpose is Hos
letters Stomach Bitters, which is far pre-
ferable to mineral sedatives and powerful
narcotics which, though they may for u
time exert a soporiic influence upon the
brain, soon cease to act, and invariably
injure the tone of the stomach. The Bit
ters, on the contrary, restore activity to
the operations of that all important organ,
and their Serehcent influence 10 reflected
in sound sleep aud tranquil state of the
nervous system. 4 wholesome impetus
is likewise given to the action OF the liver
and bowels by its use.
