Just why the boomers should choose
Lawton for their resting place no one
could tell. It was located high and dry
so much so that water has proved
scarce. A government well was dug
100 feet, but no water was found. The
thirsty boomers drank the Cache river
dry. then a well was dug 12 feet deep
in the lowlands. and a continuous
stream of cool water has beeu found.
Perhaps the reason that LIS wton is a
border metropolis is the fact that but
a few miles away lie the Wichita
mountains. These hills are said to
contain gold. So strong is the belief
that gold is in these mountains that
the government makes every man who
takes a homestead any way near them
fill out a mineral clause which puts
him under obligations of FORGETTING the
same should gold be found. The gov
eminent is allowed this privilege I'M

The First Legislature.

the query may be properly answered

THE size of the estate left By che late
Senator Cushman K Davis, says the
Pittsburg Chronicle Telegraph illus
trates the value of vulgar ronnances
about the senate as millionares'
club. Senator Davis held prominent
position in the organization of the
senate, aud so far as political influence
carries with it pecuniary opportunities
no man had more advantageous po-
sitlon. He left an estate valued at
10000 in personal and $4,000 in
real property. So far from having
been an advantage, his political act
.ivitles were doubtless detriment to
his estate, and had he applied to money
getting the zeal and intelligence he
gave to the public service he would
have accumulated a. fortune. There
are rich men IN the senate, but as
ruleit is safe to say that they would
have been richer had they kept
out of the senate.

How Armies May Prevent War.

1t is likely enough that, if the mill
tary equipment of the United States
had been a little more evident and
ample, Spain would not have risked
the chance OF hostitities, and would
have withdrawn from Cuba on some
plan beneficial to the Spanish treas
ury, and not less SO in the end to our
own. This question of military eff
ciencv is one about which should be
plain speech as we'll as clear thinking.
Let us admit that it was negligence
and error rather than wisdom and
foresight that had allowed this nation
of ours to attain its vast population
and wealth with an army of only 70,
600 men, and with preparations-as to
arms, ammunition, and materials OF
all Enthusiastically adequate even for
30 small a force. There were many
military experts throughout Europe,
who strongly believed that SPAN could
defeat us in a quick campaign, on
the same principle that fifty well-armed
soldiers may readily disperse several
thousand unarmed and unwarned
citizens. Spain had 2OO,0OO men un-
der arms in Cuba. while we had hard
" more than tenthof that number,
and ours were doing garrison duty IN
small detachments all over the contl-
nent. Under these circumstances
Spain could not believe that we really
meant to fight; and still less did she
believe that we could fight to any adj
vantage on short notice For TINS
very reason the controversy was al
lowed to drift on until it was too late
for peaceful solution. Spain would
have understood what we meant, and
there would have been no war, II our

NO MAN Is STRONGER
Than HIS STOMACH.

The stomach is the vital center of the
body. 1t is the organ from which all
other organs are fed. A weak stomach
means a weak man. There never was a
strong man with weak stomach What
is called vweak stomach is in general a
diseased condition of the stomach and
other organs of digestion and nutrition,
which prevents the proper digestion of
the food which is taken into the storn-
ach, and so reduces the nutrition of the
body. When all food is taken away the
body starves. When the food eater is
only digested and assirlilated in part it
only nourishes the body In part, and so
the body is partly starved. And this
starvation is felt in every organ OF the
body dependent on the blood which is
made from food.
The great variety of the cures per-
formed by DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery is due to its remarkable
power to heal diseases of the stomach
and allied organs. 1t cures through the
stomach diseases seemingly remote, but
which have their origin in a diseased
condition of the stomach and the other
organs of digestion and nutrition.
rWeak" heart, lungs, kidneys and weak
ness of other organs is cured with the
