The incorpcrators of the st. Louis. Ok

st. Louis and trunk lines centering there
for assistance, and tho project is regarded
as \ crestion of the interests identified
with the st. Louis and San francisco from
Sapulpa. Should these interests take
hold OF it the initial point would probably
be Galena, Kan, where the st. Louis road
already has branch line from Joplin,
then to Pawhaska. Saltwater. Guthrie,
Ell Reno and Albuquerque. Besides the
main line of this road it Is proposed to
build branch from Pawhuska or PAwnee
Agency westward through the Ponca
country and through the center OF the
Cherokee strip to the cattle country west
Of the Rock Island road. By these two
lines of roads the owners would practi-
ally have possession of the rich country OF
the Osages and Poncas when their lands
are opened for white settlement.

CATARRHAL CONSUMPTION.
The Way il Begins and Ends.

There are several roads which lead from
health to consumption. Over one Of these
roads pass ali Of that great multitude who
die every year Of consumption. Each
route begins with health and happiness
and ends with disease and death. They
each start with slight catarrh Of head or
throat and end in catarrhal consumption
Almost all. if not all, cases of consump-
tiou begin with catarrh.
Thousands have just started on one of
these roads, all Of whom could be easily
cured by Pe-ru-na, thousands more are
half way to the fatal end of one Of these
roads who are still curable by course Of
treatment by Pe-ru-na; and yet other
thousands are near the end whose last
days would be made more bearabie aud
hope OF recovery more probable by con-
meucing Pe-ru-na without delay.

NORTH ENID, o. T., Oct. 4-tSpecial. l.
Yesterday evening witnessed an exciting
time in North Enid For the third time a
provisional election was held, and the
third board of trustees elected. The whole
affair was devoid of legality. The election
proclamation, to begin with. is conceded
to be illegal; the polls were not kept open
until the hour set for closing them inythe
proclamation. and hundreds Of voters were
imported for the occasion.
The fight WAS between the citizens and
two gambling bonses. The gamblers
brought from South Enid every available
man they could get, and even went so far
The vote polled was very heavy, and, ac-
cOrding to the usual estimate made. North
Enid has population of over 5000. Still
il does not lay claim to more than one
third that number. The gamblers won
the day. but not the victory; for. although
they elected their whole ticket, the people
will not recognize the election.
This is the third election. but still the
officers elected at the original organization
are holding Office. Upon the whole it was
Que of the grandest frauds ever perpetrated
upon an American community.
The first Republican convention of coun-
ty O was in session today. 1t was quite
largely attended. and from its appearance
everything will so Republican at the regu-
lar election.
Building at both North and South Enid
is not abating, and the people of both
towns manifest great confidence in their
respective cities.
The first grand jury will meet on the
30th of the month, and considerable bust.
ness will come before them.
The Rock Island company will at once
begin on the new passenger depot at this
place. and will also enlarge the freight
depot, which has already proved made
quate to han1le the immense business.
An official of the postoffice department
arrived here teday to inquire insO postal
matters.
At $50 o'clock last night northbound
stock train ran into an open switch at this
place, and did considerable damage The
switch stand had no light on il, but the
colors displayed Indicated clear track.
The train was going about fifteen miles
an hour and was just slowing up for the
depot when the accident occurred Con-
ductor Joe johnson aud Engineer Thomas
Kane had charge of the train. The engi.
neer hssd his left leg considerably bruised
and two fingers on his right hand broken.
The fireman escaped injury. No blame is
to the tralnmen. as the train was
heavily loaded and could no. be stopped
In time The engine was entirely broken
down aud several cars were demolished.
Passenger train No 4 was only a few
miles behind, and in case it had run into
the switch many lives would haye been
lost.
