To Cotton Oinners.

The past ginning season again dem'
oIstrated the Incompatible superiority
Of the American Cotton Company
Roundlap bale. Not only were farm
ers benefited who had their cotton
put up in ROundlap bales, but even
the patrons OF the old style gins pro-
fitted by tie presence of Roundlap
competition.
Although last year The American
Cotton Company largely increased It's
presses in the SOuth--installing ali
that it was able TO build-the demand
in New England and abroad for cot
ton baled by this process greatly ex-
ceeded the supply. The company Is
preparing this year TO add largely TO
the number Of its presses. The COM
any's works are running day and
night building presses, which will be
leased to responsible ginners, who
own. or are preparing to build modern
gin houses in good cotton districts, on
a rental which is ultimately repaid by
the cotton buyer in the premium for
cotton in ROundlap bales.
Information concerning leases will
be supplied by Mr.. w, S. HANSON,
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

500 Reward, 500.

The readers Of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages and
that is catarrh. Halls catarrh cure
is the only positive cure now known
to the medical fraternity. Catarrh
being a constitutional disease, re-
quires constitutional treatment.
Halls catarrh cure is taken internal
ly, acting directly upon the blood and
mucuOus surfaces Of the sy stem, there
by destroying the foundation of the
disease, and giving the patient
strength by building up the constitu-
tiOn and assisting nature in doing its
work. The proprietors have so much
faith in its curative pcwers, that they
offer one hundred dollars for any case
that il fails to cure. Send for list OF

The general verdict seems to be
that the new Harris block, now near
ing completion, is better looking
structure than the one burned, not
withstanding il is a Srory or such a
matter lower. The present indica-
tlons are that the new firm expects to
do business, and are not to play sec
ond fiddle to any store Vinita has
ever had. Before they have ope ned
their doors for business they have
impressed the community with the
fact that they are hustlers.

take care of the small thi ngs we are in
effect taking care of the large things
which the small things combine to make.
That is the philosophy of the old fnan-
cial proverb, and its application is as
broad as human life.
Take care of what you eat, when you
eat, and how you eat, and your stomach
will take care of itself. But who takes
care of such trivial things2 That is
why, someday, the majority of people
have to take care of the stomach. When
that day comes, there is no aid so effec-
tive in undoing the results of past care

Discovery. 1t strengthens the stomach,

SURGICAL FEAT OF PRlvATEs


Surgeon General Sternherg has re-
ceivea a report nj Washington from
Captain Bratton OF che medical depart.
ment at Sogod. Co in regard to ok.
ceptional services recently performed
BY Private Samuel Jones of the hos
pital corps, assisted by Private Henry
Becker of the same corps. A native
woman was assaulted by her husband
with a bolo and was injured severely,
Her right forearm was cut Ia several
places, producing compound fractures
and there was a deep horizontal cash
on the right cheek which forced out
the eyeball In addition 20 these there
were several long, deep cuts In her
back. In the absence of the regimental
surgeon Private Jones undertook the
case. With the assistance Of Private
Becker he administered chloroform
and AT night by candlelight replaced
the eyeball, which luckily was unin-
Iured, and sewed up the incision. He
also sewed up the incisions in tile
back
The woman would not consent al
that time 20 have her arm cut off, and
Il was dressed antlSeptically, but In a
day or so the arm began To turn black,
and Private Jones, believing that gan
creme was setting In, amputated II
above the elbow by the circular meth
od. Private Becker assisted at the op
Grafton.
Captain Bratton says that when he
returned few days later he found the
patient doing Well Her arm had heal
ed entirely. lie says that "the good
judgment, fortitude and skill shown by
Private Jones In this case warrant me
In reporting the facts and in recon.
mending him for future consideration. +"

Won Over $4,000

Judge Gray, in the United States Cir
cult Court of Appeals, affirmed the de
cision of the lower court sustaining the
will of the late Judge John HanleY the
Scranton, Pa, millionaire. He was the
owner of considerable real estate in Scran-
ton and coal and timber lands in the
South. He was particularly attached to
the city of Winchester, near which place
he fought many battles in the Civ War.
He left $4,000 for public library for
that city.
The residue of his estate 100000 he
left to the city of Winchester, for twenty
years, the income to be paid out and ex-
pended in that city for the erection of
schoolhouses for the education of the
poor. Judge Hanley lett no relatives
nearer than first cousins BY them the
will was contested, because the city of
Winchester, municipal corporation, has
not the legal capacity to take the estate,
because the beneficiary and the objects
and purposes of the trust are uncertain,
and because the subject of the resduary
bequest is also uncertain.
