GIFT-GIvING AT EASTER.
Practice sun Prevails. and Yer

Practice Still Prevails and Nery
Pretty Custom.
The oil habit of gift-giving at Easter
is still alive and it is the correct thing
that such gifts should be made by the
hands of the donor. Some of these are
pretty and comparatively inexpen-
sive.
Book and magazine covers made OF
water color paper or art linen are
among the pretty and useful gifts. a
cover for dictionary will serve as q
model. 1t was made of white water
color paper of a light grade and used
on a peper covered edition that was
about five inches wide by six long. The
paper was first fitted to the covers OF
the dictionary and folded and creased
plainly Indicated. On one side was
painted full cluster of forget-me-
nots. On the other was a smaller
spray, which occupied two-thirds OF
the space; the remaining third-just
in front of the back-was tinted del
icate gray, on which, in gilt. in fancy
lettering, was the word Dictionary
Then the cover was again folded over
the volume and this time secured
with mucilage or photographers paste.
Violets or any other blossom pre-
ferred could be used in place of the
forgetme-nots az a decoration. When
linen is used in making book or maga-
zine covers embroidery is better, more
satisfactory condition than painting.
Book marks are favorite Easter gifts
and generally hand painted on water
color paper, celluloid or ribbon. A
pretty one of the first material is COM
posed of two strips of the paper cut
exactly alike-about an inch and three
quarters wide and five long. On the
center of the under one is dainty lit
tie wash drawing; in the center of the
upper one is cut an oblong opening to
fit the drawing, and on the uncut sur
face is delicately painted bit of red
and yellow foliage, such as appears in
early spring on some varieties of trees
and shrubs. From between the ends
OF the pasted strips extend bits OF
fringed ribbon in either of the Easter
colors-white. yellow or lavender.

$35. After that anywhere into the

an uncommon price for a New York
woman to pay for hat that takes her

KILLED BY LIGHTING.

The Oil Trust knocked ont by the new light
ACETYLENE, which is made from fused coal
and lime is new discovery, and produces n
light which is next only to Sunlight, both in
quality and cost, and is the most beautiful
and perfect lighting known to man. 1t has
twenty times the light power of oil and four
times that OF electricity Its light is so akin to
sunlight that colors can be matched by 1t, and
does not tire strain the eyes.
why not own your own lighting plant? It's
inst the thing for HOMES, STORES, CHURCH
ES, halls, or any place where light Is needed

BLACKWELL
Comes to Life and Agitates "a Normal for
Blackwell.


Comes to Life and Agitates Normal for
Blackwell.
Col. A. J. Blackwell, for whom the
ilourishing town Of blackwell, Kay
county, was named. says that move
ment is on foot by which the legisla
ture of 1900 will be asked TO appro-
pirate $4,000 for the erection Of a
normal school building at Blackwell.
lie says the eastern part of the Chero-
kee strip is entitled to public insti-
tuition, and that normal school at
Blackwell will satisfy his people. He
is beginning the agitation early, be-
lieviug that two years will be little
enough time in which to carry out the
work successfully.
Col. blackwell is one of the interest
ing characters of Oklahoma. He has
grown wealthy in real estate specula-
tions his rents at Blackwell amount
ing to more than 81 500 a month.
When the railroad first reached Black
well speculators tried to squeeze the
colonel by attracting the merchants
away from that portion of the town
which he had built. Col. Blackwell
started his own brick yard and began
the construction OF brick buildings at
n rate that made his competitors dizzy.
He has just completed eight new brick
store buildings, and will break ground
this week for SOS, 900 brick opera
house, with 20 foot frontage and a
depth of l40 feet. The building will
have two galleries and a seating capac-
ity OF 1000 persons. Blackwell hai
1900 inhabitants. Col. Black we'll says
the population will amount to 5000 by
next spring The extension of the
railroad from Blackwell will reach
Ponca City in about thirty days.
Col. Blackwell has much property in
the Indian Territory, Speaking o.
statehood, he said that as a whole the
people Of the Indian Territory wer'
opposed TO single statehood for th'
two territories. They do not want Il
be hitched up with Oklahoma. TIL,
Cherokees sre especially bitter agains
single statehood. The greatest objec
tion is that Oklahoma is in debt, Will
the Indian Territory is not. He sai'
he believed that much OF the opposi
tion to single statehood would die GU
IL it were made plain to the kickers II
the Indian Territory that they woul'
not be taxed in any way for the pay
ment of Oklahoma's Indebtedness, AM
that the taxes would be levied on tn
land where the debt was created"

1T CAN'T BE DONE.
No one Can Remain Wei. No Chronic
Disease can be Cured Unless the
stomach Is First Made strong
and vigorous.

Stomach Is First Made strong
and Vigorous.
This is plain, because every organ in
the body depends on the stomach Tor
its nourishment. Nerve, bone, sinew,
blood. are made from the food which
the stomach codverts to our use.
How useless to treat disease with
this, that and the other remedy, and
neglect the most important OF all, the
stomach.
The earliest symptoms Of indigestion
are sour risings, bad taste in the
mouth, gas in stomach and bowels,
palpitation, all-gone feeling, faintness,
headaches, constipation; later comes
loss OF flesh, consumption, liver and
heart troubles, kidney diseases, nervous
prostration, all OF which are the indi'
rect result Of poor nutrition.
Anv person suffering from indiges-
tion should make it practice to take
after each meal one of Stuarts Dys-
pcpsia Tablets, allowing it to dissolve
in the mouth and thus mingle with the
saliva and enter the stomach in the
most natural way. These tablets Are
highly recommended by DR.. Jennison,
because they are composed Of the nat
ural digestive acids and fruit essences
which assist the stomach in digesting
all wholesome food before it has time
TO ferment and sour.
stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sold
by druggists, full sized packages at
cents. They are also excellent for 4
valids and children. A book on stomach
