constipation, biliousness, jaundice,
headache, indigestion, pain in back,
chills and loss of energy. You will

les can be cured until you use herbine.
1t cures quickly when other remedies
utterly fail. Regulates the liver, pur-
ifies the blood. Herbine is harmless
vegetable remedy that gives new life
and energy almost from the first dose.

The Springfield Grocery Co., arc
contemplating establishing a branch

said the company will arrange with

splendid point for wholesale grocery

Indian Territory south.
The judges OF the Creek nation held
a convention at Okmulgee recently.
The object of the convention was to
try and induce the chief to hold an
election before the first of October for
the purpose of voting on the agree,
ment entered into between the Creeks
aud the Dawes commission. Under
the Curtis bill the Creek judges lose
complete Jurisdiction October the
first, while under the agreement they
hold on for few years, but only re-
tain jurisdiction over cases instituted
before the first of last January. Judge
Childers was in town recently and re-
ceived telegram requesting him to
attend the convention. The telegram
was sent last Saturday, but the judge
never received it until today. The
chief has refused all along to order an
election before the convening of coun-
Gil in October, but it is possible that
he will decide to order an election at
once now under the advice or persua-
sion of the judges.-Sayings.

Bad Sanitary Conditions.

A drive around this city reveals the
fact that its sanitary conditions were
never so bad in the history Of the
place as at present. Circumstances
have contributed to making them
worse. The abundant rains for the
last two months have caused an un
usual amount Of stagnant water and
mud in the low places where the land
is undrained, and the rank vegetation
to be seen everywhere is a sure har.
binger Of malaria. These weed
patches should be cut and burned, and
the holes filed up before we have an
epidemic of chills and fevers, or per-
haps worse.
