Advice to Dyspeptics
How to Cure Themselves.
RELIEF CONES THE FIRST HOUR.

1t may seem strange for you to find
after years of doctoring that Dyspepsia in
all its forms is one of the easiest diseases
TO cure, yet such is a fact. 1t was only
necessary to find the cause and science
soon furnished the cure. For years the
medical profession thought that food was
digested in the stomach and that the
lack Of digestive fluids caused indigestion,
nervous dyspepsia. fatulency, and in
truth all the supposed various forms OF
dyspepsia known. Believing this, they,
with the manufacturers, have always
worked on these lines, and all dyspepsia
cures made were composed of digestive
ferments combined with some cathartic.
The fact that temporary relief followed
the use of these remedies was sufficient
reason for their continuance, although 10
the surprise of the doctors permanent
cures were seldom made. This was easily
explained, however, when science proved
THAT FOOD WAS NOT DIGESTED IN
THE STOMACH AT ALL. only prepared
by this organ for digestion by the intes-
tines; that dyspepsia was caused by
disease germ and that they had been doc
toring the symptoms instead of the dis
ease itself 1t was found that these germs
in the stomach caused Indigestion, fatu-
lency, catarrh of the stomach, gastritis,
nervous and acid dyspepsia, and, when
located in the bowels caused intestinal
indigestion, biiousness, diarrhcea, con-
stipation, catarrh of the bowels and APP

TO MAKE PLASTER OF PARIS
Okarche is Said to Have a Fine Project
Under Way.

Guthrie, o. T., Dec. 1S.-The Okarche
Times says that rumor is current that
Okarche is soon to have a plant for the
manufacture of plasterof Paris, and adds:
1.-The promoters of the enterprise have
been working on it for some time, but it
was only after the plans mad been per-
fected and the enterprise an assured
thing that the secret leaked out. The
parties interested are Ed. C. Kell, Chas.
Palmer. Peter Herber and Mr.. Wilson.
Palmer is an expert chemist and heard
Of the cement deposits here through his
brother-in-law, Ed Keu. He came osten-
sibly for a visit, but in reality to investi-
gate and experiment on the scheme. At
ter successive experiments he arrived at
a solution and produced a plaster of Paris
that was the equal of any on the market
for a fine hard white finish. Then he
returned and quietly interested other par
ties and put UP a small plant. Herber's
engine was taken out to Wilson'S claim
ten miles west and one south and some
of the plaster manufactured, which Is on
exhibition at kell's store"

Press association was held in the rooms
Of the City club this afternoon. with an
unusually large attendance. The meet
ing was called for the purpose of select
ing delegates to the annual convention
of the National Editorial association,
and incidentally resolutions were adopted
favoring free homes and statehood. The
resolution in favor Of statehood was
singularly ambiguous creation and called
forth two amendments, one by Dan
Peery. favoring statehood for Oklahoma
and the other favoring statehood with
the Indian territory. A clash was avert
ed by voting down both amendments and
the adoption of the original resolution,
which declares for statehood in any form
that congress sees fit to grant.

Guthrie, o. T, Dec. 1S.-Exception is

homa grooms at IS The item in the Ea-
gle read as follows:
when person reads a list OF mar
riages with the ages Of the contracting
parties he viii nearly always read the
ages and not the names, unless he Is &C
quainted in the community. The Tecum-
sen Republican publishes list OF these
names and ages. 1t IS curious to see how
nearly of an age the groom and bride are,

brides second: 40, is; "a, IS; "A, .; so, q:

fair index, the average age of Oklahoma
gTooms is IS, that of Oklahoma brides p.
In the list given there is only one case
where the bride is older than the groom,
and in that case the bride is q, while the
groom is only 10. 1t viii also be noticed
that the youngest bride in the group is
Is years OF age"
It is claimed that the average woman in
Oklahoma is married long before she is
% ana that the table from Tecumseh used
in tie Eagle was an exceptional one, as
it had one bride who was 81.
A fairer table is one taken from the
Norman Transcript, which publishes the
announcement Of ten marriage licenses,
the names of the brides and groOms and
their ages. Their ages as given. the
groom's age first, the brides second, are
as follows: 26, %; q. 10; &c, %; 26, IT; Is,
49, IS, 16; %, 10; 26. 49, %, It; q, 20.
According to this table the average OF
Oklahoma brides IS IS and the average of
Oklahoma grooms %. This is much near
err the mark than the table published in
the Eagle.
It is noteworthy in this connection to
say that never in the history Of Oklahoma
HIS there been such a deluge of mar
riages. They are always heavy numeri-
cally at the approach of the holidays,
but the record is being broken in Okla
homa this year, and whatever sins may
have been committed against matrimony
by the Oklahoma divorce courts formerly
are just now being more than made w
by the way the probate courts are grind

ty IN Oklahoma.
While no encouragement to boom the
market is necessary, it is unfair to pub
lish to the world that woman has tC

ma until she can help make the average
of brides as high as q years.

EVIDENCE CLASSEO AS STRONG
On Which Taylor Kirk Was Given the
Death sentence.

Guthrie O. T., Dec. 1S.-There is good
deal of misunderstanding and vagueness
in the territory over the evidence in the
Taylor Kirk case, which has brought
the man of that name to the scaffold.
Some have thought that it was such weak
evidence that Kirk might escape the gal
lows But the evidence is not weak, and
there does not seem to be reversals, stays
or pardons in the future for Kirk. The
FL Reno Globe reviews the evidence and
says of it:
THE evidence disclosed that Taylor
Kirk drove into Cloud Cher, the county
seat of washiua county. having the dead
body of his sister, Mrs Ida Marlborough,
in his wagon. on the 9Th or 9Th Of July.
He drove around the town and hunted up
the undertaken and wanted to buy a cof-
fin to ship his sisters body to Texas, say
ing that she had committed suicide by
shooting herself through the head with
revolver. A coroner's jury was empan-
elled and an inquest held. Taylor Kirk
and his brother William and William
Kinks wife, testified that she had COM
mitted suicide. The verdict of the jury
was that she had come to her death by a
gunshot wound and that the shot was
fired By herself with the intent to COM
nit suicide. In a few hours after the YER
dict of the coroner's jury was rendered,
William Kirk and his wife gave the Of
ficers to understand that the real facts
had not been stated and that if they
were assured of yptcreotoiuGaoh-aa1w
were assured OF protection from Taylor
they would tell how Ida had came to her
death Upon the strength Of their state
ment Taylor was arrested and confined in
the county Jail. A few days after he was
arrested he sent for Sheriff Neal Morri
son and told him that he wanted TO make
a statement and tell how he came to kill
his sister. The sheriff at that time re-
fused to hear his story. but afterwards,
in the presence Of the sheriff, county at
torney and other gentlemen he told Of his
cold blooded murder He said, and this
( appeared in evidence, that there had long
been trouble between himself and his
sister Ida, and that she had tried to get
two men to murder him in the Chicka-
saw country. on the morning Of July 1
his brother and wife and deceased were
all talking of going to Cordel 70 at
tend a picnic. He asked his brother and
wife If he could 80 with them, and they
answered that he would have to ask Ida,
as the hack belonged 70 her. Ida was
standing before a glass combing her hair,
! when ne spoke TO her in regard TO going
/ VITA them. Ida replied that there would
/ De plenty of room in the hack for him
! and he could go. but I don't want you 10
/ 20 along as a spy on me today Taylor
/ said. I had just as well settle that right
/ now, and reached up ABOVE his head, got
/ his six-shooter and shot her through the
/ head killing her instantly. The defend
/ ant pleaded not guilty 10 the crime Of
murder and claimed that he killed his
( sister in selt-defeuse. He swore or the
stand that his sister had a Winchester

! when ne fred the shot that killed her.
