A sound, healthy body Is elastic and
adapts itself readily to changes in the eli
mate. while debiltated diseased system,
combined with cold, changeable weather,
Is certain to produce suffering and danger.
Nearly all of those who suffer when 1t Is
cold can remember time when they did
not need even to be careful in order to
avoid cdlds and disease. The seasons
have not changed materially but the con-
dition of their system has.
Catarrh, in all its forms, bronchitis rheu-
matism, debility and, in fact, the presence
of any chronic disease, produces a scnsi-
tiveness to changes in the weather. That
these diseases come perfectly under the
treatment of a skilled specialist has been
proved by the long line of testimony given
by well known men and women who have
been cured by Drs. Copeland and Shepard
In order to enable each sufferer to become
personally familiar with the merits of
their treatment THEY INVITE ALL TO A
FREE TRIAL TREATMENT.
Read below the evidence given by Mr..
II. r. Ettleman. Mrs. Fred NJ. Hans and
Rev. Dr. Tindall. They are all people of
the highest credibllity and their honorable
standing is a perfect guarantee of the
truth of what they say.

WASHINGTON, Jan. "a joint conference
OF the Dawes Indian commission and the

Choctaw agreement was held in the office
of Secretary Francis this afternoon, Com
missioner OF Indian Affairs Browning was
present The session was devoted to dis
cussion of the leading provisions OF the
agreement. preliminary to its approval by
Secretary Francis and its submission to the
president. The action that congress may
take when the document is submitted for
ratification is causing considerable uneasi-
ness and was talked over at length. The
principal opposition that has developed thus
far Is that of the white townsite settlers,
who bought title from the Individual In
dians, but who, in view Of the interests in
common in the land. must buy again, under
the agreement. The townste men have or
ganized to oppose the ratification OF the
agreement and have sent an attorney here
to represent their interests. The agreement
provides for the allotment for all the Choc-
taw and Chickasaw lands Except to freed
men provided for in the 1866 treaty.; the
keeping of title to all minerals in the
United states government in trust for the
tribes; makes the allotted lands inalenable
and untaxable for twenty-five years, and
gives full citizenship rights to the two tribes
upon the termination of tribal government,
which is fixed. Ito end eight years from
March next. So far the Chckasaws have
not indicated their approval of the agree
ment and 1t may be necessary to enforce 1t
for the benefit of only the Choctaw interests,
pending further legislation.

Story of a Lost Eaadcar Comes Up
From Ottawa.

Here is a story from the Ottawa Re
publican which equals the fake" story
of the swallowing of the Santa F'e sta
tion at Rosel sent out from Larned last
week, which has the advantage OF De
ing true.
For tn love Nv saints an tn holy
angels phere's the hand-car!' eXclaim-
ed the boss of a Santa Fe section crew
on the EmpOria branch, as he gazed
stupefiedly at a yawning chaSm in the
earth where the night before had
stretched substantial terra firma.
Sunday night the crew had set the
car off the track at LeLOup, placing 1t
on the right OF way as usual, and did
not return for it until Monday morn
ing.
To their amazement the car was gone
and where it had been was circular
hole filed to within a few feet of the
top with water.
AS soon as the dumbfOunded men re-
allied that they were gazing at stern
fact as well as a hole. they sounded the
car was about ten feet below the sur
face. They fisned it out with some
trouble.
The secret of the rather remarkable
occurrence is that about q years ago,
when the railroad was first constructed
a we'll was dug at that point to supply
water for the engines. 1t was 15 feet
deep, but the water proved unfit for the
purpose and the excavation was filled
up To expedite this latter operation
a mass of hay was tumbled in on which

ing a cavern in the depths, and it need
ed just the weight of the car to send
the over-arching earth into it.

TENDER HEARTED MR.. FORD.
Hamilton County Cattle Raiser Want
ed to Kin the Stage Villain.

The Wichita Eagle says: Mr.. Ford,
of Hamilton county, who has 500 acres
in alfalfa, and is a large cattle raiser,
was in the city during the past week
attending the Scottish Rite reunion.
While some of the degrees were being
conferred it was noticed that Mr.. Ford
frequently took his handkerchief from
his coat and dried his eyes One gen
tleman who was present went up to
Mr.. Ford and, Introducing himself. said: :
You must be very much impressed, Mr.
Ford. with the solemnity of this occa-
sion" Yes answered Mr.. Ford. AT
lodge and I never can confer this de-
gree without shedding tears"
This conversation got Mr.. Ford in a
reminiscent mood. and he said: DO
you remember reading in the papers
three or four years ago about a cow
boy who was at Vicker's theater in
Chicago, and when the villain in the
play started to kill a woman the cow
boy got up and started for the stage to
help the wOman?" When the gentleman
addressed answered in the affirmative,
Mr.. Ford said: THAT was me"
On another occasion while Mr.. Ford
and his wife were attending a theater
in St Louis, in one act a little girl was
on a piece of supposed ice in the middle
of the river or ocean. The mechanical
effect was so vivid and realistic that
the cake of ice on which the little girl
stood was made to go up and down as
if the waves did it. This was too much
for Mr.. Ford, and, jerking off his coat,
he turned to his wife and said: Il must
save her" With that he started for
the stage and was only stopped by an
emplOye of the theater

SENATOR BAKER TALKS.
Discusses the Hawaiian Annexation
Will Stand by Sterne.


Leavenworth, Nov. 23.-Just before
Senator Baker left for Washington yes
terday a reporter asked him if he had
yet arrived at any conclusion with re-
gard to the annexation of Hawaii:
NO. said the senator. I have not. 1
am not altogether satisfied with the
project, for it means the admission of
80, 600 or 60,0 600 Japanese to citizenship
in the United States. Besides" " he con-
tinued, the annexation of Hawaii
would ruin the beet sugar industry, in
this or any other country. I have not
yet made up my mind how I shall vote
upon the question, and shall devote
some study to it before I do sO''
Asked as to how he stood upon the
Cuban question, the senator replied:
I stand today just where did dur
ing the last session Of congress. I
heartily sympathize with the people of
that island in their struggle for liberty
I believe that the United States should
recognize a state of belligerency in the
island, and thus permit them to come
here and purchase arms and munitions
of war openly. 1 do not know what pol
icy the president viii advocate in his
message, but believe it viii be a kind
ly one"
What is your opinion OF the interna-
tiOnaI monetary conference. senator %
I do not believe that it will prove a
success. The commission has been a
failure for the simple reason that Great
Britain is opposed to it-Until such time
as England favOrS the project nothing
of an international nature can be done.
Each country Will have to legisiate up
on this matter for itself. l do not think
that any legislation upon this subject
will pass at the present congress for the
reason that the senate is too evenly di-
vlded."
Asked if he thought any currency leg
islation would be enacted at the ap-
preaching session. he replied that he did
not. He believed that some would be
introduced. but did not believe that any
could pass.
Talking of the Union Pacific railroads
the senator said that he believed that
the government would get all its money
out of these lines, and probably more.
He also thought that the Central Pa
cific would realize the debt to the gov
ernment, as he believed that other
roads would form a combination to pur-
chase it at a good price
