a tonic and a catarrh cure 1 knew of
nothing better"
There is but single medicine which
is radical specific for catarrh. 1t is
Peruna which has stood a half century
test. It has cured thousands Of cases
of catarrh. Ninety times in hundred,
those who have been cured of catarrh
by Peruna thought they had some 9TH
er disease.
The remedy to cure catarrh must be
able to reach the mucous membranes,
and this is exactly what Peruna does.
Peruna operates at the fountain head.
Peruna produces normal, clean and
vigorous mucous membranes. Catarrh
cannot remain in the system If Peruna
is used according to directions.
Address the Peruna Medicine Com
pany, Columbus, Ohio, for free book
on catarrh.

as yet, declared his intention of en-

expected to make it lively for those

saw the point and decided that he would

taken to the probate court to show cause
why guardian should not be appointed

FLYNN DECLINES /.
Proposition of a Gift-Home
From Thankful Homesteaders
APPRECIATES COMPLIMENT
But Writes That He Cannot
Accept It

Washington, May 26.-Congress1nan D.
T. Flynn Of Oklahoma today wrote to the
territory to a friend who is taking a lead
ing part in securing by popular SUD-
scription a home for Mr. Flynn, declining
the gift.
Mr.. Flynn was the father Of the free
homes measure recently passed by con-
gress which was of such benefit to the
people Of Oklahoma and IL seems that it
was proposed TO erect a home and present
it To him as gift. in recognition of his
services. While Mr.. Flynn appreciates.
10 its fullest extent, the compliment, he
has declined the proposed gift.
Guthrie, o. T. May 26.-Most OF the Re
publican newspapers IN the territory
heartily endorse the proposition to give a
gift-home TO Dennis Flynn. But many Of
Flynn's friends believe that the building
OF the home. its location and other mat
tiers would lead to unpleasant complica-
tons. The Renfrow Tribune is one
paper which is not in favor Of the idea.
1t says: THE plan OF presenting Hon. D.
I. Flynn with q home to be paid for by
the people who have been benefited $500
worth because OF the free homes bill does
not meet with our appreciation for various
reasons. We DO not believe in the first
place. that Mr.. Flynn would sanction such
a move. No one doubts but that the
gentleman is entitled to great honor and
credit for his million dollar victory and
there are hundreds and hundreds Of peo-
pie right here in Grant county who would
willingly give a dollar to the proposed
fund. but we insist that there are other
and more suitable ways of rewarding Den
mis- than in buying him something he does
not need nor want"

MUST THROTTLE THE THIEVES
Farmers of POttaw atomic County
Goaded to Desperation.

Guthrie, o. T.. May 26.-The thieves In
| Pottawatonie county have irritated the
farmers to desperation. There is talk
of organization of vigilance committees
and rumors of lynching. The thieves are
organized and bold and action must soon
be taken to curb them. On June 2, the
farmers of Pottawatomie county will
meet at Tecumseh 10 take some steps to
call halt. Dealing with the present
situation the Tecumseh Republican says:
There has been so much stealing of stock
throughout this county and territory Of
late that the stock men and farmers have
been worried a great deal over the safety
Of their animals. Stealing stock has be-
come so general and frequent that some
means is sure to be devised to put
stop to it, and lately efforts have been
put forward in various ways to afford
protection from the thieves. Several
times during the past few weeks word
has reached this city that one or more
thieves had been caught and their captors
had unceremoniously disposed of them In
such manner as TO insure that they
would cause no more trouble on this
earth. While none OF these reports have
been corroborated. yet the fact that they
have gone out Is conclusive evidence that
the farmers and stock men have stood
this stealing as long as they are going
to, and should the thieves be apprehended
by them. II is evidently uncertain
whether a court Of law would have an
opportunity to pass on their cases We
regret the situation of affairs and would
greatly deplore the repetition OF mob VOL
ence IN our county. II seems 10 US that
other means 10 prevent the stealing OF
stock could be devised. J. E. Bomar Of
Little River, has offered q very feasible
suggestion, which, IL carried out and
strictly complied with would certainly
be a step In the right direction. II is as
follows:
Every man 20 have registered stock
brand: provide himself with seal contain
Ing his brand and name. and when his |
stock are transferred TO new owner. a |
bill OF sale cont aiming the stamp OF MS |
seal is 90 accompanying the transfer Of /
the stock. each Individual owner OF the |
stock giving his bill Of sale with the /
seal stamp thereon. together with all /
former bills OF sale issued on the stock /
to be sold Il this plan should De
put in force in Oklahoma ard /
the Indian territory. thisf would never
out being caught and stock with a clear
.itle would BE easily apprehended when
they were offered for sale.

Norman Transcript Points Out That

Guthrie. o. r. May 26.-The statement
that Flynn will not carry Cleveland
county is resented by the Norman Tran
script. which says: In figuring on Mr.
Flynn's probable vote in the territory this
fall the figurers figure that he win carry
every county except Cleveland. Potta-
Watomie and Greer. And why should
Cleveland be excepted? Mr. Flynn carried
1t by 70 majority in 1895 and We see and
know Of no reason why he should not do
so in 1900. Our people are not ungrateful.
