TERRITORIAL BRIEFS.

The McAlester Capital says: The
Capital reporter was this morning
shown cane which Washington
Irving left at Fort Gibson in the SOS.
IL is a mahogony stick, and at that
time was considered very valuable.
There is gold ivory setting in the top,
mbedded SO that il cannot be worn

who owns the cane, SAYS that he has

The territorial board OF equalization
adjourned yesterday.
After carefully examining the county
assessmen, g the board found the valua-
ton OF Logan county to be the most
nearly in accordance with the law.
Logan county was therefore taken as
a basis for equalization and the nee
essary increase or decrease in the
other counties determined thereirom
In addition tokhe work of equaliz.
ing, the board made the following
levies for the ensuing fiscal year:
General revsnue, 3 mills; normal
school one-half mill; university, one
hall mills bond interest one. fifth
mill; for education Of the blind, one
twentieth mill and for the education
of the deaf and dumb, one-twentieth
mill, an aggregate OF four and three
tenths mills on the dollar of assessed
valuation.
County assessors returns for 1897
show a big increase in live stock
While some counties show falling off
in the number of cattle, and others in
the number Of hogs, yet there has been
sufficient increase on the whole in
each county to make the wealth far
greater than in 1895.
The increase during the year, ex-
elusive OF the Kaw AMI Usage and
the Kiows, Comanche and Wichita
reservations, which were not included
in the returns for 1896, is as follows;
Hogs 70, 800, horses lG, 367, mules 3. l24,
cattle %. si9 sheep Ills,
The amount OF money in each coun-
tY is represented as ridicuously small.
Some of the counties report no money
at all, the most noticeable being LIN
coin county, which is one of the most
prosperous in the territory. The low
est amount reported was s15, by d
county. Oklahoma county came to
the front with sl7i, 359. The total
shows per eapiea circulation OF little
more than 81. But the cry Of "hard
times" Is seldom heard here.
Day county, one OF the most remote
ia the territory, reported only two
pianos. d reported only three. Ok.
lahoma equity valued its pianos at
Sl5,735 King6sher county, for some
inscrutable reason, reported dogs
worth s272. A patriotic taxpayer in
Logan county reported three United
States bonds.

Col, A. C. Schnell is near Tishomin-
go, Chicasaw nation, and writes the
following about his oil digging in
which he is engaged:
"We are now drilling two wells for
oil, each well is now down four hun
dred feet, not down far enough to
indicate the result when fifteen hun
dred feet is reached There is not the
least doubt about oil being here in
large quantities. We may have to
drill two additional test wells in order
to positively locate il We have made
contracts for drilling two other test
wells which we expect TO commence as
soon as we have completed the two
now going down. 1t takes lots OF
money, time and patience to prospect
for oil II would not surprise me II
we find other valuable minerals in our
field as every foot we go down into
the earth It indicates that fact"

that the case has been dismissed in
justice to Mrs Willard Stapleton a
few words should be said. The morn
ing OF the trouble she received letter
from her relatives in Chicago saying,
"be sure and bring the baby, whom
they had never seen. The first time
she saw Willard she said "f am go.
ing TO take baby to Chicago" He made
no answer and she thought no more
Of IT, In few hours the sheriff came

have an order from Judge Dale to
take your child from you and give
him to his grandmother. Willard
had gone to Lawyers Strang Il Green
to prevent her taking her baby TO
Chicago, and they told him he must
apply for divorce before he could do
anything. Until that moment a di-
vorce was never thought Of, but that
night the baby was brought back to
its mother by its father and today the
baby was given to her, saying, "Do as
as you think best about him." and
thus it ends, JUSTICE.

MIRACLES In MEDICINE.
The Wonderful Progress Made Within
the Past Few Years.
Diseases That Our Mothers Thought InCufabe Now
Cured by Paines Celery Compound.

1t is difficult, almost impossible, to
overestimate the importance of recent ad-
vances in medicine and surgery
In surgery there is the application OF
the x-rays in determining complicated
fractures.
In medicine there is the serum-treat-
ment for germ diseases, and more impor-
tant still, the extended use of PaiDe's
celery compound in the treatment of the
many diseases that arise from a faulty or
impaired nervous system.
This class of ailments causes more suf-
fering and earlier deaths than all others,
and that is why 50 much public promi
hence was at once given to Palnes celery
compound when its discovery was irst
announced by Prof. Phelps of Dartmouth
college.
The rapid and sure way that Paine's
celery compound cures neuralgia, rheuma-
tism and nervous debility is marvellous
even in the eyes of this wonder-working
quarter of the century.
| Ancient miracles were contrary to nat
ural laws, whereas the remarkable power
of Paines celery compound to make
people well, comes from better under
standing of the natural causes of disease.
That wonderful set of nerves known as
the sympathetic nervous SYSTEM" that
knits every part of the body together and
harmonIzes all, is understood today as
never before. Many persons are not
The Mount Holly news. [volume] (Mount Holly, Burlington Co., N.J.) 1891-1942, 1897-01-19

aware that any such nerves exist. They
do not know that nothing goes on in any
part Of. the body that every other part
does not instantly ''know Off The close
ness of this sympathy is Familiarity illus
trated by headaches, indigestion, rheuma-
tism, neuralgia, ETC. About every case Of
sleeplessness, nervousness and dyspepsia
is sympathetic strike" by brain. nerves
or stomach, induced by the lowering of
the general health.
People who think to get rid of these
troubles by some medicine that disregards
the general health of the body are on the
wrong track. In getting such diseases as
neuralgia and rheumatism out of the sys-
tenn Paine's celery compound proceeds at
once to restore a normal appetite aud reg
ulate the nerves. as the foundation for
building up the health and vigor.
1t regulates the bowels without delsy
and sees to it that the poisonous humors
that are bursting through the skin, in
what are, tor purposes of classifying, call
ed skin diseases, are given a ready outlet.
On this basis of purified blood and regu-
lated nerves the permanent cure of every
form of blood diseases, such as eczema,
salt rheum, bad complexion, is now assur-
ed by this really wonderful rem edy.
If the reader of this is not in perfect
health let him simply try first bottle OF
Palne's celery compound and carefully
note the results.

1t is possible to overestimate the oour-
age Of roober, as may be seen by this
story by Judge Seymour D. Thompson,
given in the st. Louis Republic:
McNab was the hero of hairbreadth
escape. 1t was in Canada, where Nc
Nab, brawny Scotohman, was fellow
colporteur of my father, the Rev. Sey-
mour Thompson.
The two became separated on the
night of McNab's adventure. The
Scotchman was riding through forest
unarmed. He had package of Bibles
on one side of his saddle and ON the
other string of frozen sausages, which
were to be thawed and cooked for his
breakfast. A highwayman stopped Nc
Nab's reflections and his progress at the
same time.
The Scotchman was frightened. He
never denied that. He had little
money in his boot, and he leaned over
to remove the boot aud satisfy the de-
mand of the robber. His hand struck
against the frozen sausages. He be-
thought himsef of these. Perhaps they
would be accepted instead of money.
He broke one of them in two and was
about to offer half of it to the highway
man, when suddenly he found himself
alone and heard the clatter of horse s
rapidly retreating hoofs. Badly fright
ened as he was, McNab laughed. The
robber had mistaken the cracking of the
sausage for the cooking of a pistol and
had fed

sorghum as Green Fodder.

Except for it's extra amount of sweet.
ness sorghum has no advantage over
corn as green fodder. and it has two
very obvious disadvantages One is that
the sorghum lacks the ears of corn that
the corn fodder if properly grown may
have, and the other is that the sorghum
stalk is SO hard that it is difficult and
sometimes dangerous for stock to eat ii
unless first crushed in grinding to ex-
press its sap. The bagasse or pulped
sorghum stalks after the juices have
been expressed are greedily eaten by
stock. But the mass heats very quickly
and quickly turns sour, so that it does
injury rather than good.
Wherever there are facilities for
grinding sorghum, farmers who live
near the mills can get some good from
the sorghum bagasse. But its nutritive
value is small. as the woody part of the
stalk has very little in it that is indi-
gestible. 1t costs more to grow sorghum
than it does TO grow fodder corn because
it starts very slowly and is hard to keep
from being overgrown with weeds while
small After it gets knee high the sor-
ghum will grow fast enough, but until
that time it requires more labor to keep
free from weeds than does corn and its
fodder is less valuable. The sorghum is
grown for fodder in some parts of the
west because its root runs down deeper
than corn roots do, and it is thus able to
live through severe droughts that wither
and destroy the corn crop. -American
CultiVator.
