To Make the Hair Curl. Our CORE
spondent, NJ. NJ, cannot find " safev
means for making straight hair curl.
Frequently washing and brushing will
make hair curl Too much oil in the
hair will not permit it to curl. Dry,
fluffy hair may be trained TO curl.
Wash the hair once every week. Use
CASTLE soap, very warm water and am
monia (half teaspoonful to a quart
and pint Of water). Rinse the hair
in three plain waters, the last rinse
using cold water The bang should be
washed every day in soapy water, with
out ammonia. Use brown wrapping
paper for curl papers. Put the hair up
in paper before it is quite dry. If the
hair is very oily it may be washed
twice every week.

NOTES FROM ALVA.

ALvA, o. T., Dec. 23.-[Specal. This
was cloudy, rylookiDg morning,
with weather as warm and balmy as IA
May day. The wind WAS blowing gently
from the southwest, and the weather sig
mails which our efficient postmaster, Mr..
johnson, has flying from the top of the
postoffice building indicate local rains and
stationary temperature. Should this
warm, spring-like weather continue much
longer the prairies will put on a green ap-
pearaDce.

CHICAGO, Dec. 23.-In view of the refer

mony OF Mrs. Foy. and of the more or less
general impression that he never made auy

nection with the case, Mr.. Sullivan was
called upon today at his law office, and
asked why he had never made any denial
of knowledge of the case Mr. Sullivan
indignantly denied that he had been silent,
and said:

PONcA CITY POINTS.

PoNCA CITY, O. T., Dec 23.-tSpecial.I-
Ponca City has been heard from at Wash
ington, aud we are no longer going to be
put to the annoyance and expense of pro-
viding and paying for our own mail facil'
ties. The principal difficulties in the way
of our getting government Office here
have been, all along, our proposed name
and the lies of our RIVALS and enemies.
These have. happily. been overcome, the
former by adopting New Ponca as the
name of the postoffics and, the second by
presenting the truth TO the department.
The order establishing the office was pro-
mulgated on December II, and the new
postmaster will be named about the first
of January.
The WelIs-Fargo Express company has
decided to open an uptown Office, and ME-.
Austin Brown has been appointed agent,
and the Office will be kept at {. l. Browns S
headquarters.
Building is still in progress to quite an
extent, though fear of stormy weather
deters many from beginning, who would
otherwise have large enterprises under
way The Ponca City Hotel company Will
very soon begin the construction of ilne
ediiice upon the corner OF Grand avenue
and Main street. IL will be tifty-foot front
and 100 to 40 feet deep. A store room,
bar room and barber shop will be set apart
on the first floor to rent. in addition to the
office, dinnlng room, kitchen, wash room
and sample rooms. The second and third
stories will be devoted to sleeping apart
ments and parlOrs. It will be the best
hotel in Oklahoma territory.
@. r. Lee of Fort Scott paid $3.50 cash
for lot Il, block "a, facing the street south
of Grand avenue, and Will erect thereon,
Immediately, large furniture store.
II. g. Danhauer, one of our grocery
men, will build for himself on lot /, block

The announcement that good quail

TWELVE THOUSAND CATARRH Pa
TIENTS.
Treated Absolutely Free Of Charge by
DR.. Hartman.

The announcement made in many Of the
leading papers of the United States last
November that DR.. Hartman of Columbus,
Ohio, would undertake the treatment of
10000 catarrh patients free was thought
ny many who would gladly have availed
themselves of his offer to be mistake.
Nevertheless it was fact; and already the
10000 have applied and are already taking
the first months treatment The elabor-
ate preparations which the doctor made,
and the great number of assistants re-
quired TO carry on this undertaking,
makes it possible for him to extend the
number 10 10000 Therefore 1000 more
names will be accepted as regular patients.
All that is required of the patient is to
send name and address to DR.. S. b. Hart
man, Columbus Ohio, and complete d-
rectionS for the first months treatment
Will be sent at once. No charge is made

manufacture OF bank-note paper, and
now that the Sherman law has been
repealed and the retirement of silver
suggests an increased use of notes and
perhaps the creation of banks OF issue
by each member of our political MON.
the superiority of ramic paper for cur
reney purposes is worth the careful
consideration of the treasury officials
and of the state bank superintendents.
Were 1t not too expensive for pron1is-
cuous use ramie would bring comfort
to the anxious souls that have of late
been sorrowing over much because our
paper was not nearly so durable as the
paper Gutenberg printed on, and our
books are destined 10 crumble into dust
before they acquire sufficient age to
interest the collector. The fragilitv
of our paper. however, is a subject
for congratulation rather than regret.
When books were produced by serihes
1t was well that they should he made
of vellum, for the results should be as
durable as the process was tedious.
With the slow and clumsy printing
from the time of Gutten berg to the
utilization of steam as the motive DOW
er Of the press-room il was well that
books should be printed on paper made
from pure linen, for the reproduction
OF a book was matter of some ex-
pense and time. But with the extraor-
dinary activity of the present day and
the wonderful development of printing
machinery, each seeking to outstrip
the other, and leaving the astonished
beholder wondering whether the writ
ers or the presses will win, the result
would be disastrous il pages and bind
ings were as dura Bile as they were
once, and as it was then for the
interest of mankind that they
should be. Indeed, the material of
books is not yet sufficiently evenescent.
Most of the books and magazines and
papers are designed TO be read but
once. and IL they would resolve them
selves back into dust within FIVE wears
it would save labor and proba blv pro-
mote the reproduction of the really
durable things in literature That
which was worth keeping could easily
be reprinted, and that which was not
worth keeping might better be in the
dust heap than encumbering the
shelves. The invention of paper that
will not last may cause great distress
of mind to those book lovers for whom
a volume is ruined when the leaves are
cut, but it is the salvation of an age
when every woman wishes to write
book and every man desires to write
for the papers, and the too ingenious
pressman has invented machinery capa-
bic of printing all that everybody can
write.-N. Y. journal of Commerce.
