Growing in Interest.

The meetings at the. Methodist
church are growing in interest with
each service. Bro. Hicks in his SER
mon last night showed up the utter
folly of profane swearing; called
attention to the awful fact that inno-
cent children were taught to use pro-
fame language by men of prominence
in the community who indulge In the
evil practice in their presence. Moth
ers hesitate to send their children on
errands for fear they will come in con-
tact with one of these "old cusses. 7"
The preacher will discourse on "The
Objections to Christianity" tonight.
Everybody is invited to be present.
Don't fail to come in the spirit of the
Master. NJ. L. BUTLER.

Still a Mystery.

Thus far nothing has been heard of
Ed Robertson, Of Fairland, and the
conclusion is becoming general that
he was murdered. In looking over
the ground for motive the only one
discernable Is that Of robbery. 1t is
not unlikely that parties who knew
the young man was an insurance
agent surmised that on his return trip
from Grove he would have consider
able sum Of money, and to secure 1t
they were willing to murder him.
Both his father and father-in-law,
who have been down prosecuting the
search, are well to do business men in
their Missouri town, and are doing all
they can to unravel the mystery.

Railroad Cases Settled.

The long continued cases of the
Frisco against trespassers on the rail
road right-of-way through this city
was settled in court this morning.
In most of the cases judgment favor
of the railroad company was confessed
with the stipulation that judg-
ment for costs to the present time,
should be entered against the defend
ants, and they be given 80 days in
which to remove their improvements
from the limits, of the company's
right-of-way. A few of the cases
were continued by agreement, the
costs to the present time to be paid
by the defendants.

SAN ANTONIO.
A Delightful Place rlay Be Easily

There win be quite a number Of
persons 90 to San Antonio next We'd
nesday on the Katy excursion, but it
is possible some of our people are
overlooking "a good thing There is
probably no place within the confines
of the United States, Of equal dis
tance, so unlike the United States
and so much Spanish and Mexican as
San Antonio. Probably half the pop
ulation are able to converse in Span

guage Then it is by far the pleas
ATTEST spot in Texas to visit, at this
time of year, to say nothing Of the

No Session Likely.

Col. C. j. Harris, ex-chief of the
Cherokee nation, and present execu-
tive secretary spent today in this city.
Col. Harris stated to representative
of The Daily Chieftain that an extra
session of the national council had not
been determined upon; that the i'm
preston seemed to be that the pres
ent council, If called together, would
be against creating another commits
sion to treat with the Dawes commits
sion, and that consequently no agree
ment could be reached.

If You Are Not Interested
In Your Teeth. :.

The condition of the mouth has
much to do with the general health.
The improvement following the
placing Of the teeth in healthy
condition, is often surprising. One
cause of 80. called "bad breath" 10
due toeths tartar on the teeth, they
being, otherwise sound and good.
Tartar is in many mouths the only
enemy to contend with. 1t ac-
cumulates at the neck ofthe teeth,
irritates the gums, causing them
to become inflamed SO that they
bleed easily. This should be
taken as a warning, and if DR.. IT.
vine is called upon in time will
prevent much injury. Ifnot done
the accumulation continues and in
time the teeth become loose. A
great many intelligent persons fail
to appreciate the importance of
taking care of their teeth until
compelled to do SO by suffering
Then they want their teeth ex-
tracted, and it is just as foolish to
have tooth extracted because it
is in an liberated or broken down
condition as it would be to have a
finger amputated because OF the
appearance of a felon or the re-
moving of an eye to get rid of a
cataract. Diseases of the teeth
and surrounding tissue are certain
ly as amenable to treatment as are
ulcers or morbid growths in other
parts of the body. A tooth that is
decayed contains a cavity in which
food collects and is decomposed,
causing an offensive breath. The
decomposed food is dislodged and
carried into the stomach where it
may cause trouble. Of course the
trouble is increased by the number
Of teeth involved. A person with
poor teeth cannot eat with satifac-
tion, he is in nervous condition,
his food imperfectly masticated
and insalivated, hence goes into
the stomach unprepared for diges-
ton, thereby causing indigestion.
Decay generally begins in some
obscure point inaccessible to the
patient-hence the advantage of a
visit to

yellow cats which were discovered a
