All the buildings of the County Poor
Farm. excepting the barn, have been
completed, and will be ready for oc.
cupation IN a few days. The poor OF
the county viii be taken in gradually,
and for this the County Commissioners
will probably announce a program.
The buildings present good appear
ance, though, of course, it will be i'm
proved when the grading is completed,
property sodded and shade trees planted
Ample accommodations. with every
modern convenience, have been provid-
ed for several hundred Of people. The
parlors and bed rooms are large, light
and airy; the four large bath rooms are
complete; the dining rooms will seat
two or three hundred each, and the
kitchen is a model in every resepct.
The buildings are heated by steam,
and connected by frame passage-ways
and lighted by gas. and VIII make a
perfect Home.
The well, drilled just West Of the
building furnishes an abundant supply
of water, which is pumped up to large
tank on an iron derrick high enough to
give ample pressure; and the sewer runs
southwark from the buildings to the
run in woods at the south end of the
farm, while pipes and hose in the hall
ways guard against fire.
The superintendent Tor Admins
tration) building is model, modern
house, with its own bath room, and
kitchen, etc, entirely separate and
apart from those to be used by the
patients. 1t has hardwood floors, and
is well finished
There isa nice view from the buildings,
in all directions, and our genial friend
and Supd't, Jos. Graham, seems to be
enjoying his exalted position.

The Salvation Army.

The Salvation Army has not, as the
ancient Hebrews its three Festivals;
but has two special seasons throughout
the year, one known as the Week of
Prayer and Self-Denial, when the funds
are divided between the home work and
the needs of some foreign mission coun-
try, India coming in for its share of the
proceeds in the last great effort But
the Harvest Festival is purely for the
work at home and is so successfully
planned and assisted by the friends of
the movement that thousands Of dollars
were raised in 1899 The Army expects
to far surpass those figures this present
year. The dates of the Festival are
Sept. Goth to Oct. I'd. and the officers
and members of Butler corps will be
pleased to receive donations and will
have an exhibition and sale of articles
contributed on the last two days of the
festival, viz. Mon. and Tues. Oct. 1st
and 2d

The Only Way

OF getting what you want is
to purchase from reliable
sources. You may not need
our goods often, but when want
ed you want them prompt
ly and want the best. The
sickroom is no place for ex-
periments. Our prescription
department is the most i'm
POI tant one with us and we
leave nothing undone to
secure only the best. A drug
may be pure but not up to
the standard in strength.
Nothing short Of the best is
thought of with US.
Our trade is large enough to
keep goods moving so that
we have no old stock. Our
methods of doing business
we think will warrant you in
coming back. Every article
bearing our name is guaran-
teed to be just as represented
or your money back.

\ Bright and Happy Thought.

Quite number of our little ladies &c
to II years of age) are filing boxes
with their choice little treasures. adding
picture of themselves, the box mot
to be larger than a spool cotton box, to
send to the little Indian maidens attend
ing the Sapulpa Indian school, by
Messrs Kennedy and Heydrick who will
soon return to their big lease to begin
operations. These tokens of love from
our Young friends to the daughters of a
brave people, will awaken a new cord
in their natures that will bring good re-
suits. We clip the following from the
st. Louis Globe-Dispatch.
OIL STRIKE IN OSAGE COUNTY.
Bartlesville, l. T., Sept. ~15,-Oil has
been discovered in large quantities in
the Usage country, two miles west of
here. The Phoenix Company yesterday
began the work of sinking wells and
will put down at least twenty-five of
them in that locality. The company
will also extend its operations to Paw
huska, and will drill a chain of about 40
wells between here and there 1t will
build twenty thousand barrel tank on
the hill west of town and the oil will be
piped here for shipment The company
thinks that it has found one of the most
productive oil regions in the country.
The Manhattan Oil Co.'S lease lies be
tween the above and the lease owned by
Butler parties, whose property has
great mineral prospects in addition to
its oil. A specimen of silver ore, assay
ed by Messrs Kennedy and Heydrick,
shows value of over $1,000 to the ton
This piece of ore about one pound, was
picked up by them in Rocky Canyon
They also have specimens of pure lead
zinc and copper. The result of their en-.
terprise will be looked forward to with
considerable interest.

more fight. Tie is very stout and
strong and heretofore has been quiet
