Over =burdened
Women.

Many man sees his wife bend and
tug at burdens that strain the back and
the heart alike, without any idea of the
outrage. Children follow in too quick
succession to allow the mother time to
recuperate. The womanly organs become
displaced, there are debilitating, disagree
able drains, with the added pain of in
famed or liberated parts. In this condi-
ton the woman bravely tries to carry her
household load, afraid to take the rest she
needs lest meal will be late. No wonder
she is pale, weak, wretched surly of tenn
per and snappish of tongue. She would
be false to nature if she were anything else.
No persons need help so much as the class
of whom this woman is the type. And for
such women no help is so sure so wonder
full, as that given by DR. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription. 1t restores all the womanly
organs to perfect health. II establishes
regularity in their functions II restores
the strained and shattered nervous system
It clears up the complexion, rounds out
the form and makes life daily happiness

UNDERGOING A Lr1AN0E.

The boundary limits of the in
corporated city of Ardmore are at
present undergoing radical change
from that acknowledged before the
United States court, when incOr-
poration was granted.
This is being done by the mayor,
a committee from the city council.
a committee Of non-citizens and
Townsite Commissioner Samuel N.
Johnson.
The ARDMoREITE, through ig-
norance of the law on such quess
tions, for we have no precedent at
hand, fails to see the legality of
such procedure.
The metes and bounds specified
as our corporate limits, we cannot
think. should be subject to change
at the will and pleasure of few of
our people or even our city council.
The act contains an arbitrary en-
forcement which is undemocratic,
and inconsistent with our former
experiences.
We learn that the new boundary
line is very zig-zag in shape. The
intention Of the present boundary
committee being to eliminate from
the incorporation as many vacant
lots as possible in this matter of
appraisement.
This does not appear good policy
from one standpoint, as it will de
priye the city of much taxable
property, as soon as this work is
completed.
1t must not be inferred from this
that the ARDMoREITE is opposing
this work of these committees,
which we prefer to say may be all
for the best. These views are
simply very apparent at first
thought, and while we trust fol
better things, incline to show
us a complication of legal entangle-
ments ending only in obscurity.

THEIR HOUR APPROACHES.

1t would not be surprising if the
opening engagements Of the war
between Great Britain and the
Transvaal republic, which now
seems to be inevitable, should re-
suit in victory for the Beers, which
might at the time appear to be of
considerable importance as affect
ing the final outcome of the con
fict.
1t is certain that the Afrikanders
are determined to take the initia-
tive and that an aggresslveness of
decided ability will mark their early
movements in the field They are
reported as being well armed and
well drilled. they are moved by the
common impulse of patriotism,
they are we'll officered and of their
military spirit there is no question
in the minds of those familiar with
Boer history.
The pathos of their struggle
against the British, however, will
lie in the fact that it will be the
final and futile struggle of brave
race for the preservation of ma
tional independence. The ultimate
result of the war is foregone con-
clusion. Great Britain has reached
that point in Africa where the
Beers must no longer stand be-
tween her and British control of
Che coveted territory The war
now apparently about to open must
be definite in its historical infiu-
ence The days of skirmishing
between British and Beers are
past.
Beyond the pathos inevitably at
taching to such confiicts-the
crushing OF brave, home loving
race by stronger invading power
British domination in the Trans
vaal will be of benefit in the end.
The Beers are unprogressive and
seclusive in spirit. They do not
properly develop the natural re-
sources of their own country and
they are jealous of more energetic
and enterprising outsiders who do
bring about such development.
They are a drag on the forward
march of the world. They are GO
ing the way of all such people.
Their conquest by the British is
almost as inevitable as the opera
ton of a law of nature. Republic.
