MORE SUB-STATIONS.
The Numbcr OF stamp Agencies TO
Be Reduced.

In accordance with recent determina-
ton. the gradual abolishment of a great
number of stamp agencies maintained by
the Pcstoffiee Department is under way.
These agencies. usually i'm drug and cigar
stores. pay S2i yearly. Exceptions to the
rule Will he made when the agencies are
located in places remote from a postoffice
station, sub-ststion and the general post
office.
In lieu Of these agencies the department
after July ]. when the new appropriation
becomes available. will substitute regu-
lar Sub-stations wherever there is a man
ifest necessity for them. In these sub
stations there will be practically every
postal facility. including the issuance of
money orders and the registering of
letters. Just the same as in the general
postOffice.
It is the belief of the postal officials that
insreas sing the number of places where
complete postal facilities may be had will
induce The more frequent use of the
mails. especially i'm the case OF money or
ders by persons who now use express
company orders for the transmission Of
money.

DANGER IN SODA.
Serious Results sometimes Follow
Its Excessive Use.

Common soda IS all right in it's place
and indispensable in the kitchen and for
cooking and washing purposes, but 1t was
never intended Tor a medicine. and peo-
pie who use il as such will some day re-
gret it,
We refer to the common use of soda to
relieve heartburn or sour stomach. a
habit which thousands of people practice
almost daily, and one which Is fraugbt
with danger; moreover. the soda oIl.
gives temporary relief and in the end the
stomach trouble gets worse and worse.
The soda acts as mecanical irritant TO
the walls of the stomach and bowels and
cases are on record where it accumulated
in the intestines. causing death by in
flammstion or peritonitis.
DIR. Harlandson recommends as the
safest and surest cure for sour stomach
taeid dyspepsia an excellent preparation
sold by druggists under the name of
StUart's Dyspepsia Tablets. These tablets
are large 29-grain loZenSes. very pleas
ant to taste and contain the natural
acids. peptones aud digestive elements
essential to good digestion, and when
taken after meals they digest the food
perfectly and promptly before il has time
to ferment, sour and poison the blood
and nervous system.
DIR. Wuerth states that he invariably
uses Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets in all
cases Of stomach arrangements and finds
them a certain cure not only for sour
stomach, but by promptly digesting the
food they create a healthy appetite, in
crease flesh and strengthen the action OF
the heart and liver. They are not a
cathartic. but intended only for stomach
diseases and weakness and will be found
reliable i'm any stomach trouble except
cancer of The stomach. All druggists
sell Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at 80 cts.
per package.

A Commissioners Here

Hon. ThOS. Needles, of the Dawes
commission, came up from the
south Tuesday, being enroute fer St.
Louis, where he had a law suit which
comes up in day or two. The COM
mission came to Muskogee yesterday
and will be there much of the time for
a month, when they return to Ard
more to look into the Rennie and 9TH
er ChickaSaw citizenship cases. Col.
Needles says nothing will be done re-
regarding town lots until congress
provides money to pay commissioners.
He says the secretary Of the interiors
recent order directing that so acres be
at once set off to each Cherokee is the
law until changed, and intimated that
sometime during the winter the
Dawes commission would open its
land Offices and begin work. Just
what day of what month, he did not
say, but due and timely notice will
very likely be given. Col. Needles
further said it would take three or
four years to complete all the rolls,
and until this work is finished it
promises to be somewhat of compli-
Gated task to begin allotment-eyen
this little chimney corner kind. The
gentleman said the secretary was a
business man and that it was not inn
possible if the proper showing was
made to him he might modify his re-
cent order Had Secretary Bliss come
here last week, as planned, arrange
ments had been made to take him over
the territory in a special tram, spend
ing day at Vinita, one at Muskogee,
another at South McAlester, SC. AL
though not from Missouri it was pro-
posed to "show him."

An Indian Evangelist.

Rev. Peter o. Mathew, Methodist
lnOrth evangelist, who by the way is
Talumney california; Indian, is in
the city, his second visit, the first
having been made ten years ago. Mr..
Mathews has lately met REV. Felix
Mays" who has posed as chief Of the
Cherokees in great many places, tell
ing of his great possessions, and also
of prowess among his people, and has
sent a great many would-be Indians
here on fruitless errands-probably
for fee. In fact, the "Rev. FeliX'
is now assisting Rev. Mr.. Ford in a
revival in East Des Moines, or was last
week, doctoring during the day time,
or when opportunity presented, and
wearing his hair long-to add effect
iveness to his alleged Indian remedies
probably. This man told Mr.. Math-
ews he had small place two and a
half miles from Vinita; also, that he
had a niece clerking in grocery
store in this city. He has ordination
papers (BaptisU executed at Fort
Worth in 1890, which are apparently
regular.
Mr.. Mathews was union soldier,
having enlisted i'm Iowa and, very
strangely, was mustered out at Ft.
Gibson, which place, if he visits, he
will find materially changed in the
third of a century since his discharge.

Irresistible.

When DIR. Clinkscales came back
from the Usage nation and gave such
wonderful account of the fishing,
Bob O'Shea said he knew the story
was stretched; that if it had been him
he would never have come back-not
even for his clOthes--and he did not
think himself different from any other
man. But while the story was too
hard for Bob, it seems that Dick
Kerens, the great Cotton Belt railroad
magnate and President Yoakum, of
the Frisco, took it ip, and also Sc
duced Gen. Perry Heath, first assist
ant postmaster general, and Col. Bing-
ham, superintendent of public grounds
i'm Washington, ard those four worth
les are coming out for a fish the first
week IN November. just what bait
they are in the habit of using is I'M
known, but our friend, the doctor, in
dulged in nothing more eXtravagant
than grasShOp1ers, and "cut bait. :"
But the weather is rather more chilly
than when the latter was out.
