IN this issue will be found a
list of the names of those who
have subscribed for telepho. IS.
From this list it will be seen
that just fifty subscribers have
been secured, exactly one-half
the number required to secure
the exchange. \ perusal of the
list will show that a great many
of our leading and professional
men appreciate the Importance
of securing this new enterprise
and with characteristic and
commendable ability are sub
stantially helping to secure the
exchange for our town. There
are others whose names are
missing, who have heretofore
aided in every way TO advance
the interests of our town. The
ARDMoREITE can not believe that
they have given the subject
proper consideration. Certainly
we have a town large enough
and of sufficient business i'm
portance to have a first class
exchange in operation. Other
towns of far less Importance and
population are leading Us in
this respect. Purcell has an
electric light plant; Durant is
to have one in Il few days, and
other towns of the b. |. 7. are
keeping pace with the adjacent
states. ArdmOre. the queen
city of the Territory, lags be-
hind, and today We are without
a public enterprise. We believe
it will pay to secure the pro-
posed telephone system and we
greatly mistake the enterprise
of our townsmen If they neglect
this opportunity. We hope ere
another Sabbath comes to be
able to chronicle the news that
the requisite number of sub
scriberS have been secured and
that the telephone will be put
in operation.

!. J. McAle>tcr. a prominent
Choctaw citizen, is ont in four
column open letter to the Dawes
Commission and secretary Frances.
The letter which appears in full in
the McAlc>tcr Capital goes into the
Indian situation in detail and in
many places reads as ii Judge &.
b. Stuart was close To the writer
while it was being composed.
That part referring to townsitcS
which We most heartily iudorse is
as follows:
With reference o. the toNn-itc
question. many theorie, have been
advanced. but d. seems 20 me that if
the town, were appraised 80 a fair
valuation. say. not les than ten doll
lars per acre and not more than ore
hurdrcd dollars per acre. this would
give the Chortaw people ample conn
pcn>ation fur the land occupied hy
tile town sites. and would permit the
people. both citizens and uou-citizcu~
occupying such toWn>ite>. 20 pay Tor
the land they own. Some minimum
and some maximum ought tp De fixed.
Ii Will give greater satisfaction tu all
the people and viii prevent anything
like a charge 20 fIyuri~m. which will
be sure tu follow III some lands are
valued higher or les than others.
Wherever a lut 90 land has been
fenced and dedicated and occupied a>
q, home, this lot are lots Of land
Ought 10 hc taken by the occupant al
its appraised value. In other words.
no limit as DO the amount of land 70
be- used and occupied a. home.
ought 10 De- fixed. but each man ought
TO bepermitted 10 pay the appraised
value Of the land occupied by him
for home purposes at lis appraised
value. Lots ia town which have
not been improved or upon which no
houses have been built. but which
are fenced and are in the constructive
possession Of the owner. ought 10 be
appraised and the owner given the
first option Of purchase at their ap-
praised value. To sum up this mat
ter briefly: all parties who are in the
actual bona fidc possession Of a lot or
lots in a town, in which they are en-
closed. ought to DC permitted 10 pur-
chase the same and To acquire title
thereto. at their appraised value.
There are many instances where a
man has purchased a lot for the pur-
pose of building a home and has not
been able to erect a house ulOu that
I lot for home purposes. IL would GER
tainly be very great injustice il this
/ lot should be taken away from him.
although it j. his bona fide intention

Mrs. Henry younghans Tells a Story Of Suffering
and How She Was Cured.
From the Evening NeUs, Detroit, Mich,

Mrs. Henry Younghans, of Detroit, Mich,
who resides at 1908 Grand River Avenue,
said: Ever since our last little one came l
was an invalid. For years I have had the
most painful experience and would have to
lie down most of the time. After the last
baby was born / was unable to attend to my
homework. l could hardly stand up and
had dizzy spells. / wanted to sleep all the
time and was treated by several of the best
physicians. | would have the most fearful
cramp, for which hot applications were used.
l used these hot applications until l blist.
cred myself severely.
Before our child was born I had been q
strong, healthy woman and was scarcely ever
sick. After he was born l grew weak and
thin, and received scarcely any help from
the medicine left by the doctors. They said
l was not properly cared for and that the
baby was too strong for me. My back seemed
to be breaking and | was scarcely ever with
cut a severe headache. Could not tell you
how many different prescriptions l have taken,
but every doctor had a different plan of treat
ing my case. l wore supports and laid for
weeks with my limbs elevated, but without
avail. One day my husband suggested that
l try DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People,
as he had read several articles in the paper
about women who had been helped by them.
l was discouraged and thought ] must always
be an invalid, but said / would try them
after I had taken the bottle of medicine |
vas then using.

taking DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale

the pills. Before l had taken one box l felt
better. My husband noticed the improve
ment and bought two more boxes. kept
on using them until ! had taken four boxes,
and / was entirely cured.
Il keep them in the house now and use
them occasionally, as they are a great help
to all women. You would not have known
me two years ago. What l am to-day is
owing to DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People"
(Signed) MRS. H. YoUNGHANs.
Mrs. H. Younghans, being duly sworn,
states that she has read the above and that
it is true in every particular.

Wayne County, Michigan.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People
contain in q condensed form, all the elements
necessary to give new life and richness to the
blood and restore shattered nerves. They are
also a specific for troubles peculiar to females,
such as suppressions, irregularities and all
forms of weakness. They build up the blood,
and restore the glow of health to pale and sallow
cheeks. In men they effect a radical cure
in all cases arising from mental worry, over
work or excuses of whatever nature. Pink
Pills are sold in boxes (never in loose bulk
at 30 cents a box or six boxes for 50. 80, and
may be had Of all druggists, or direct by
