ROCK ISLAND
CREPPLES LAYTON
Stops Railroad Building
and the People are
NOnpIuSSed

Fort sill, o. r.. July 1S.-Prospec-
tive residents of Lawton are non
plussed by the inactivity Of the
Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Rail
way company Work was stopped
several weeks ago on the proposed
extension of the road from Anadarko
to Lawtoa Former announcement of
the railroad officials promised that
the road would be in operation by Au-
gust G.. There is no longer any hope
offered that even so much as an effort
will be made to accomplishETAOlN
thousands who will attend the sale of
town lots at Lawton.
All manner Of rumors are in cir
cuation, and the impression largely
prevails that the railroad company will
wait until after the sale Of town lots
at Lawton and then establish a new
town site. This could not be done as
corporation measure, but individuals
associated with the management could
organize the townsite company and
make thousands OF dollars.
The officials of the Interior depart.
ment are unwilling to believe that
the executive heads Of the company
would resort to such trick for the
purpose OF speculation. The Rock
Rock Island company has been ac
corded unusual privileges, and the
county seat OF Comanche county was
not located until after the survey Of
the road was made so as 90 assure
its location on the line
Eve. .vhing has been done to ad-
vance the Rock Islands interests on
the theory that a through line Of rad
road would be of great benefit to the
new settlers It is apparent however
that the management of the company
has not met the Interior department
half way nor given much thought tc
the accommodation OF homesteaders
The only reason so far for failure "a
construct the road in time for the op
ening is that the price of labor has
been SO advanced by the demand foi
harvesters that the cost of construc
tion would be too great. The Rocl
Island is said to be bending It's ener

The homeseeker excursion tickets

A Reported Great discovery.

- II0pO1 YEA GIGdl 4ISCVVGIy.
One of the most fatal and most
dreaded of all diseases is consump-
ton and if DR.. Hon, of Austria.
has really found a cure for it, as
he so confidently announces, he
has conferred a great boon upon
mankind.
The eminent Austrian presents
his remedy gratis and upon its
efficacy bases his professional rep
utation.
He is convinced after long in
vcstiyation and practical expert
ments that his remedy will effect
a cure in any case Of consumption
which is taken in time.
The Hoff cure is not serum, but
mixture of ordinary drugs that
can be found in any drug store.
The formula given by Or. IIoff
is as follows:
"One part OF arsenic acid, two
parts of carbonate of potash, three
of cinnamlic acid, five of distilled
water; heat until perfect solution
is obtained, then add twenty-five
parts of cogllac and three parts of
extract Of opium which has been
dissolved in twenty-five parts Of
water and filtered OF this mix
ture there are to be taken at first
six drops after dinner and supper,
and the dose is to be gradually
increased to twenty-five drops"
DR.. Hoff declares that he has
tried his consumption cure on 200
cases and says:
"lncipinnt cases were quickly
cured and those in an advanced
stage were greatly improved"
Appetite and weight of patients
increased steadily; the 7er ecame
lower; nights sweats, insomnia and
asthmatc symptoms lessened; the
cough decreased and the rattle
stopped. The duration of the
treatment depends mainly on the
Of the patient. Mild
cases may be cured in two months;
severe ones may require two years.
One Of DR.. Hof's own patients
had cavities in his lungs large
enough for the insertion of fist,
yet cure was effected in about
TWO years"
The established reputation and
high character of DR.. Hoff cause
his statement of the results of his
experiments with his consumption
cure to be received with conf
fence and arouse strong hopes
hat a more successful method of
reating the disease than any
hitherto tried has been discover
I'd. !

him as the candidate for Senator for
the ensuing term. In one of his
characteristic witty speeches H. A.

marks along the same line.

A Very Narrow Escape.

A miraculous escape from serious
injury happened at X. l. Haugen's
store last Wednesday afternoon. Ed.
Ostenson, one Of the clerks, was wash
ing the skylight over Mr.. Haugen's
office in the center of the store, when
large part of it fell in, taking Mr..
Ostenson with it. Mr.. Haugen was
sitting at his desk beneath the sky
light, and clasped his hands over his
head to protect himself. Mr.. Ostenson
narrowly escaped falling on Mr..
Haugen, and dropped inside the office
railing. Strange as it may seem,
neither of them was hurt beyond some
slight scratches.

Unintentionally Omitted.

In our write-up of the Winnesheik
County Fair last week, we uninten-
tionally omitted the mention of the
splendid display of Iver Larsen in the
Floral Hall. Mr.. Larsen's exhibit
was sixteen feet in width and extended
from floor to ceiling, and it contaiued
a greater variety of goods than the
others and far exceeded them ip cash
value. In some manner the slip of
copy written for this display was lost,
and it consequently was omitted.
