KNOWLEDGE

tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products TO
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the

Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
ative; efectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and 'fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.

gists in SOC and 81 bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup

The Northwest Part of the Strip.

KIowA, KAs., Sept 16.-"God pity
the man who, in the wild race for
homes, attempts to locate in the Cher
okee Strip northwest of here" said an
old Fort Supply stage driver to a cor
respondent this morning.
"While there is a little fairly good
land just south of here, the great bulk
of the western third of the strip is
wholly unfit for human habitation.
The soil is unproductive, and for six
months in the year the country is alb
solutely devoid of water, while the
hills are covered with crystalized
sand and particles of gypsum that
glitter in the sun like bits of glass, al
most binding the beholder. The two
principal streams, the Salt Fork and
Cinnamon, are salt water, bitter and
unfit for man or beast"
The words of the old-timer are on
ly too true, for there are million
or more acres of land in the west
ern end of the Strip that are as val
ueless and uninhabitable as the Colo
RADIO desert, yet there were gather
ed in that vicinity yesterday morn
ing several thousand people who
rushed into this land when the hour
Of noon arrived, and attempted to
open farms. Over on the west end
at Canadian, Tex, were a thousand
cowboys with horses saddled and
bridled and themselves booted aud
spurred, ready to start in wild
race for Woodward, the county seat
of N. county, which embraces all this
western end of the Cherokee Strip,
Before the start they had organized a
town government, elected officers and
proposed to run things, and will
probably have no opposition, as very
few business men will venture to To-
cate i'll town in such a section Of
the country. The town will be live
ly for a few weeks, but at the end
Of that time the whole site will not
be worth as much as the occupants
could have earned elsewhere IN the
time spent there.

OF the condition of a bilious stomach
and sluggish liver is the human coun-

Besides this, sick headaches ensue, the

fenced upon arising from sitting or

Another paradise, Of the earth,
earthly, has been thrown open to the
chronic home seekers of the nation,
and once more that great restless
wave Of humanity, borne by the ire
sistible tide Of greedy desire, has
dashed its foam capped crest upon the
rock bound shores Of disappointment.
Few indeed among the many thou
sands Of adventurous spirits, who
risked all and dared everything in the

will ever bask in its dazzling light
and fewer still are those who, seeking

haps, as a pen picture, we have turn

Be a Feeder.

Be a Feeder.
Governor Stone, of Missouri, Gov
ernor Fishback, of Arkansas, Govern
or Lewelling, of Kansas, and all other
governors of the trans-Mississippl val
ley states have received an invitation
from Gov. Iogg, of Texas, to send
delegates to Chicago to meet commits
sioners from Denmark and Sweden to
confer upon the establishment Of a
line of steamers between Galveston,
Texas, and Copenhagen, Denmark.
The meeting of the commissioners and
delegates will be held this month and
every trans-Mississippi valley state
will send delegates III any number
they may desire. This meeting has
been arranged consequent upon the
recent report of the United States
government engineers that Galveston
will be made a permanent deep water
port. The north and south trunk
ines are bringing the great grain
fields and prairles in cheap connec-
tion with the Gulf seaports, and the
Galveston port will be eventually the
greatest and most important on the
Gulf coast, it is believed. Thus the
establishment of the line Of steamers
is not only probable, but gives flatter-
ing promises of being profitable Now
the new Kansas City, Pittsburg and
Gulf will be one of the most impor-
tant feeders of the new port and line
of steamers, and on this account Jop-
lin is especially interested in the pro-
posed new steamship line, 1t isn't
every city that has direct trunk line
connection with one Of the great sea-
ports and line of transatlantic
steamers-Joplin Mo.) Herald.
The announcement is Of direct in
terest and importance to TeXarkana,
as all that affects the Kansas City,
Pittsburg & Gulf railway concerns in
an equal manner the Texarkana and
Fort Smith, which forms an impor-
tant division of that system, md
whatever affects the latter has a direct
bearing upon the present welfare and
future prosperity Of TeXarkana, in
turn. The establishment Of this i'm
portant steamship line, with the H.
c., p & G. as its principle feeder,
adds so greatly to the value and i'm
portance of the system as TO doubly
insure its full completion and thor
ough equipment at the earliest posi-
BILE date, and with the completion Of
said system daWns an era Of CONNER
cial and industrial importance for
TeXarkana greater than she has ever
known before and more dazzling in
brilliant future promise than she has
ever dared to hope for hereafter.
That both steamship line and railway
system far exceed all other similar
projects now engaging the attention
Of the Southern people in actual i'm
portance to the varied commercial
and agricultural interests of this coun-
try cannot be denied Itis, therefore,
with eager interest that the consuma-
tion of these great projects will be
watched.
