and skin diseases are frequently not skin diseases at all. All the lotions and bleaches and creams and powders in the world won't make good complexion if the digestion is wrong. If the stomach is sour, and the liver torpid, and the bowels constipated, the skin will show 1t. No use trying to treat the skin for such a condition The only way to relieve it is to cleanse tue sys- tenn and purify the blood As long as the heart is pumping impurities to every part of the body, just so long these impurities will show through the skin.
 Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery Is good for the complexion because it makes the whole body hea.thy--because it clears and purifies the blood, makes the digestion strong and clears out impurities of all kinds. By increasing the ability to assimiiate nutritious food, and by the in- fusion of its own ingredients it enriehes the blood and so makes solid, heaiaty flesh. It fills out the hollows, rubs out wrink. les and substitutes for sallowness rosy. healthy glow. There is no mystery about 1t. It isn't a miracle. It is merely the re- suit of a combination of rational, natural common sense with expert medical knowl- edge. It cures diseases of the lungs, liver stomach, bowels, skin and scalp, simply because sl these diseases spring from the saule cause disordered digestion and consequent impure blood Don't let preiu dice and scepticism cheat you out of your health. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis covery will positively cure you, if suffering from diseases named above.

 FoRr SMITH, Ark, Aug 26-The trouble which has been brewing for three weeks in the Choctaw nation, as q result of the election of Green McCur- tain as governor, bids fair, according to latest reports, to end in warfare Mo- Curtain residence at San Bois, 65 miles southwest of Fort Smith, is now guard ed by about 40 men. The same number of men, members of the Buzzard party, are in the vicinity awaiting reinforce ments to make an attack. To kill Me Curtain is said to be their object.
 There were four candidates for gov ernor at the Choctaw election held Aug. 3, Green McCurtain, Jefferson Farm ham, Judge Dukes and Jacob Jackson. McCurtain strongly advocated the allot- ment of lands and other progressive ideas, while Jackson, representing tho Buzzards, bitterly opposed it. McCur- tain's majority was 2l0 The old time fullbloods and many negroes compose the Buzzard party and the pending trouble is due to desire on their part to force the United States to step in and, after settling the difficulty, take charge of affairs They prefer receiving their share from Uncle Sam than from Me Curtain, who they regard as an implac- able enemy.
 A report has already reached here that McCurtain has been killed, but it lacks confirmation. San Bois is some distance from the railroad and news from there will be slow ill reaching here

Messrs. Marshall McKissack, l.. A

Little Bessie Golfers Leg Broken In
Six Places.
While attempting to climb upon
the back of Dr. Harrison's buggy,
on West 7th Street last Saturday
morning, Bessie, the little eight
year-old daughter of Mr.. Hugh Col
lier, got her foot entangled in the
wheel, twisting her leg entirely
around the aXel and breaking the
limb in six places. The curtains of
the buggy were down and Dr.. Har-
rison was unaware of the accident
until the little girl screamed "you
are killing me-" The horse was
stopped as quickly as possible, and
the child, more dead than alive, was
carried home. DR.. Harrison called
in DR.. PadgetG, and at first the
physicians thought it would be
necessary to amputate the limb, but
later they decided not to. During
an attack of Group Monday night
Bessie moved the broken limb,
which necessitated its being drawn
to it's original length. The little
sufferer has borne the pain heroic
ally, even the stretching process al
most without a murmur. KIND
friends are doing all thew can fol
her, and she seems to be getting
along nicely. This should be 6
warning to children not to hang oil
vehicles. Not two months ago 6

And it should be a warning to par

RELIGIOUS NEWS.
The Epworth League Rally.

AHt bHWbIiu
It rained, and it rained, last Sun
day, and those who were to take part
in the attractive Epworth League
service, around at the First Meth
odist church, that night, feared
that their plans were broken into.
But, late in the afternoon, the rain
ceased, the clouds parted, and the
sun shone forth in all his glory,
causing the night to be favorable for
the large audience that gathered to
witness the interesting programme,
which was published in full in our
last issue. The church had been
beautifully decorated with golden
rod and other fall flowers, and
streamers of white and yellow bunt-
ing, the colors of the League. The
music and singing was exception
ally fine; DR.. Padgett's address, and
the essays by Mrs. Will Ruttle and
Miss Genie Mitchell were excellent;
and the little girls recited and did
all their parts well; but the greatest
attraction was the beautiful solo,
Never Alone" charming in its
sweetness and simplicity, rendered
by Miss Brownie Tomlinson, Gull
leoka's noted song-bird. The whole
affair was quite entertaining, in
deed, and the Epworth Leaguers, as
well as their audience, feel pleased
over the success of this, their first
rally.
