WORRIED WOMEN.
Women Worry About Little Things
 More Than They Ought,

Not enough iron in their blood.
 What has iron to do with it? The iron of rich, red, strengthening, nourishlng blood is one of the chief builders of nerve power.
 Iron makes strength.
 Weakness causes worry.
 Women who are weak and nervous are thin, pale or yellow-faced. They lack the rounded form of beautiful womanhood They are irritable and hard to please. They suffer from headache, backache, rheuma- tism, neuralgia They feel weak. tired. un- happy, miserable.
 Their pale color proves that they need iron to color their blood. Their fffsS1bil- .ity and nervousness, that they need 1t to tone up and strengthen their nerves. Their thinness, that they need 1t to cure their dyspepsia.
 They can get what iron they need in its best form from pr. Harter's Iron Tonic. Not an empirical solution of iron salts but scientific prepatation of tested value A preparation that for forty-two years has been curing the sick by hundreds of thous ands.
 Health comes with plenty of iron In the blood. So does strong constitution. The strength of iron is made from iron.
 pr. Harters Iron Tonic banishes pain brings back roses to faded cheeks, build: up nerves, conquers sickness.
 A worthy lady of South Portsmout, Va. Mrs. M J. Weel, corroborates the above 1T these words: For many, many years my blood was iron poor, though did not know 1t. I used to have fresh, rosy cheeks and a plump, rounded form but by degrees my good looks faded away until I began tc look like a ghost I lost strength and am. bition and suffered from pains in my stom- acfl, head, heart, back, muscle and bones I gave myself up in despair. Finally a good friend induced me to try Dr. Harters Iron Tonic. From the good symptoms which a, once began to show themselves I saw whai had been wrong with me. I had suffered from want of iron, and 1t remained for Dr. Harters Iron Tonic to supply it and cured me. I am now in good health and feel bet ter than have for years"
 Here Is evidence from near at hand:
 Dallas, Tex, Dec. Is, 1897. "Dallas News: Gentlemen-I can cheer fully recommend Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic to any one as a strengthening tonic. After suffering some months with slow fever ] used one bottle and can now thank this splendid remedy for the fact that am living and we'll

TWO MEN DEAD
Foul Air Causes Fatality and Sorrow
in Woods County.

Guthrie, o. T, Aug. 16.-Further details
Of the death in a we'll Of two men near
Fairvlew, published in the Eagle some
days ago, are at hand in the Okeene
Eagle, which says: ION Tuesday of last
week while two men named Dell and
Cook, near Fairview, Woods county, were
digging d well in which they were using
dynamite to blast rock, through which
many have TO go 10 get water, and failed
10 clear the air Of the deadly gas it Gre
Rtes when exploded. Mt Dell was busy
clearing out the debris the explosion had
made when the crowbar got caught in a
crack so firmly that the rope was brok-
en- by those above. He began to feel the
effects Of the gas and called for them to
send down the rope so he could come
out but he was so far gone when the
rope was mended and got to him he could
not tie it around himself. Mr.. Cook went
down and tied him and the women were
slow in getting him drawn up. and when
the rope got back to Mr.. Cook he was
helpless and a young man happened
along and went down and got him out
and was somewhat suffOcated by the
deadly gas himself before he was drawn
out Del and Cook lived about thirty
six hours in horrible agony and died.
This is a case that ought to be an oh
ject lesson for ages in this region Ex-
