IS A POINT OF SUPPLY
Wichita From One Oklahoma
Point of View.
NEEDS AN ELEVATOR
ChoctaW Railroad Moves West
Through Oklahoma.

William Hotterof, who lives In what he
says is one of the best sections of Okla
homa in the country west of FL Reno,
was in the city yesterday making some
arrangements to put in stock Of gen.
eral merchandise. In speaking of the
country, its prospects and present condi-
tions, Mr.. Hotterof said:
1--WE have a great country and raised
great crop. Oklahoma will be second to
no country on the earth, and we regard
Wichita as the great point Of supply for
newspapers as well as for groceries. We
have our north and south roads now, and
the east and west roads are coming.
''The settlers in the western part of the
territory are now feeling confident that
they willhave a railroad running through
their part of the country before the next
crop is ready to market. The Choctaw
has at last begun operations toward the
construction of the road on west from Ell
Reno. The grade was completed to the
west line of the military reservation some
years a6o, but all operations save the
preliminary survey stopped there. A
party of fifteen, consisting of the civil
engineering corps OF the road, are camp
ed at the Payne ranch, three miles west
of Ell Reno, and have begun the work of
surveying the road on west.
''Since the last harvest the farmers in
these western counties have been at
great disadvantage in being so far from
the market with their crops, it being nee
no, taking from three to four days to
make a trip. Custer county especially
was fortunate in gathering a large crop
of be tn wheat and cotton. Several of the
officials of ther DAD have been looking ov-
er the country lying west of FL Reno, and
their opinion seems to be fully satisfac-
tory. 1t was well known that no extern
sion would be made west, until the road
was completed to South McAlester, that
having been accomplished some time ago.
The road for the greater part will have
level country TO run over, and the con-
struction will not be difficult.
"Wichita will undoubtedly come to the
front if the peoplehere have as much faith
in the city as we have inOklahoma. You
ought TO havea n elevator here, and that
would help you by accumulation of ton
mage to secure better rates, and better
rates would help us to get cheaper goods
from Wichita merchants"

MUSIC AND DRAMA
WITH REACH e. ROwERS


There is at least one minstrel COM
pany in the world that fulfills all prom
ises and goes its audiences several bet
ter. 1t is the Beach & Bowers aggre-
CATION. 1t no "100-count 'em-100'
company, but it has twenty-seven, and
every one has something to do and
does it well.
1t has a tenor singer with almost a
soprano voice and sweet withal; ii has
John Francis Beers, the human eel: it
has Otis Bowers, one of the funniest
burnt-cork comedians on the stage; it
has a good eccentric musical duo. and
two good knock-about teams, one in
pantomime, the other in song and trag-
edy: it has a pig that drinks milk from
bottle and a kennel of educated dogs
and many other features. Beach &
Bowers give two solid hours of fun and
that's as much as other minstrel COM
panies do for four times the money.
They played to a packed house last
evening at the Empire, and Will have
another big house tonight.-Quincy

A PLAGUE OF THE NIGHT.
ITCHING PILES AND OTHER r RECTAL
TROUBLES EASILY CURED BY A
NEW AND SAFE METHOD.
A Remarkable Number of Cures Made b,
the Pyramid Pile Cure.


the Pyramid Pile Care.
About one person in every four suffers
from some form of rectal disease. The
most common and annoying is itching
piles, indicated by warmth, slight moist
ure and intense, uncomfortable itching in
the parts affected.
The usual treatment has been some
simple ointment or salve which some
times give temporary relief, but nothing
like a permanent cure can be expected
from such superficial treatment.
The only permanent cure for itching
piles yet discovered is the Pyramid Pile
Cure, not only for itching piles, but for
every other form of piles, blind, bleed
ing or protruding. The first application
gives instant relief and the Ncontlnued
use for short time causes a permanent
removal Of the tumors or the small para
sites which cause the intense ltchlnS ana
discomfort of itching piles.
Many physicians for a long time sup
posed that the remarkable relief afford
ed by the Pyramid Pile Cure was because
it was supposed to contain cocaine,
Opium or Similar OTuSSs " SOSi ID -AOS
the case. a recent careful analysis of
the remedy showed it TO be absolutely
free from any cocaine, opium5 or in fact
any poisonous, injurious drugs whatever.
For this reason the Pyramid Pile Cure
is probably the only pile cure extensively
recommended by physicians, because 1t
is so safe, so prompt in the relief afford
ed and so far as known the only positive
cure for piles except surgical opera
ton.
In one year the Pyramid Pile Cure has
become the best known, the safest and
the most extensively sold of any pile cure
before the public.
Nearly all druggists now sell it at so
cts and 81 per package.
Address the Pyramid Co, Marshall,
Mich, for book on cause and cure of
piles and also hundreds of testimonials
from all parts of the United States.
If suffering from any form of piles ask
your druggist for package of Pyramid
Pile Cure and try it tonight

ifed their sentences so they could be re-
leased from jail, and reach their noun
tain homes in time to spend Christmas
with their families.
1t is the custom at this season Of the
year for the judge to carefully look over
the list of the unfor4unates whom he has
sentenced for Illicit distllling, and 10 or
der the release of all in whose cases there
are mitigating circumstances. The lucky

The prisoners were taken to the clerks
office in the custom house in order that
they might swear off their fines They
took the oath before Mr.. o. c. Fuller and
it was as happy a group of individuals as
ever gathered together for a similar pur-
pose.
Al the time sentences are passed upon
moonshiners fine as imposed in addition
to a Jail sentence If the prisoners are
unable to pay the fines and most of them
are not, they have to swear before a
United States commissioner that they do
not own 500 worth of property above the

Chatham County VIII Receive $780,
1882 for the Year.
Atlanta, Dec. 23.-(SpeciaD. State
School Commissioner Glenn to-
day completed the apportionment
of the common school fund for
the ensuing year. This apportionment
shows that Chatham county will receive
from the state treasury for her schools
next year. the sum of $3S,1SS.42. The total
school fund for the coming year win be
1897, 922, raised as follows:
Direct property tax, $S00,o0O rental of
Western and Atlanta Railroad, $4,000;

662; show tax, 5000; stock dividend. 81, 146;
fertilizer fees, SIG, 749; oil fees, $1,000; poll
tax, $4,000.
The legislature expected that there
would be s32 800 from the convict hire, but
the law requires that the apportionment
be made upon the basis of the current
years receipts, hence this additional So
900 from the hire of convicts which the
legislature set aside could not be counted
in the apportionment, and will not be
available.
The fund is approximately 100000, less
than It was this year, and while il is 5000,
900 greater than 1t was for the year 1897,
