when all other remedies fail. I can
heartily recommend Peruna as q CO.
tarrh remedy"
The spring is the time to treat ca.
tarrh. Cold, wet winter weather often
retards cure of catarrh. If course OF
Puruna is taken during the early spring
months the cure will be prompt and
permanent. There can be no failures il
Peruna is takenintelligently during the
favorable weather of spring.
AS systemic catarrh remedy Peruns
eradicates catarrh from the system
wherever it may be located. It cures ca
tarrh of the stomach or bowels with the
same certainty as catarrh OF the head.

MAY VISIT OKLAHOMA.
Bishop Meerschaert Gives Invitation
70 Former Sovereign.

70 Former Sovereign.
Guthrie. 0. T.. Oct. 19.-If King Leopold
ever visits America. as it is said it is his
intention. he viii be asked to remember
the invitation to visit Oklahoma, which
was made by Bishop Theodore Nicer
schaert, who has just returned from a
journey of several months duration in
Europe. This invitation was given YER
baIly at the time Bishop AIeerschaert had
an audience with King Leopold. Leopold
is the sovereign of seven million people
and Catholic.
Bishop NIeerschaert, whose Catholic di-
ocese extends over Oklahoma and Indian
territory. is one of the best known
men in Catholic circles in the west. In
regard to his trip the Bishop gave out the
following interview 70 the newspaper men
who called on him today:

DEADLY PARALLEL DRAWN.
Lewis Says That Clark is Mixed Up
In His Dates.

Oklahoma City, o. T., Oct. I'D. c.
Lewis in u communication to a local
newspaper says that Sid Clarke has
doubled up in his dates. The remarks
follow:
Less than ten years ago. at Ardmore,
I. T., Mr.. Clarke used the following Ian
guage:
4 know It has been said that there
should be two states formed out of this
domain. 1t has also been proposed that
an Indian state be created out of the
five tribes. AS have said elsewhere, so I
say here, that this proposition is pre-
posterous and contrary to the genius Of
our free institutions. This is not gov
eminent of distinct races or of states
founded upon class and caste. Equality
of citizenship is the pride and glory Of
our republican system. The Indian. like
the emigrant from the old world, has on
" to take the oath of allegiance TO the
government of the United States 10 be-
come one of its citizens and be protected
by its flag"
On the 10th of October. 1901, Mr.. Clarke
advocates the following:
THE truth is, the Indian territory is
not ready to become a state. Not
single acre of the land. in a territory
nearly as large as the state of Indiana,
has been finally allotted. When the al
lotments are completed. only a small
traction of the land can be sold or taxed
under existing agreements. Whether
united with oklahoma or not the town
properly VIII have to pay the chief por-
ton Of the taxes that can be collected.
If the two territories are united in one
state, the taxpayers of Oklahoma will
have to pay, for many years, more than
three-quarters of all the taxes for the
support of a single state. These condi-
tons will exist for a quarter of a cen
fury. during which vast lease system
viii be saddled upon the people, of which
the Indians VII be the beneficiaries and
the renters the dependents.
Mr. Lewis adds: 4 presume the pub
lie would like to know which position
Mr. Clarke now deems correct. If his po-
sition is now correct, is he willing to ad-
nit that his speech at Ardmore was not
made in good faith? If abe was in earn
est at Ardmore, is he willing to admit
that his present position is not taken in
good faith.
AS a prophet, Mr.. Clarke stands with
out a peer. Just before the converting
of each cohgress for the last three ses-
sions he has prophesied that a state
hood bill would be passed In the Okla
homan on the 9Th, Mr. Clarke says that
An enabling act for Oklahoma state
hood win be passed at the ensuing ses-
sion Of congress"
Will it be for Oklahoma as now bound
ed. or viii it include within it's bounda-
ries the old Indian territory?

ROAR FROM EDITOR.
AIVa City Council is Roasted and
Slated, Too.

Alva, o. r, oct 19.-The editor of the
Courier has big roar in his paper today
about the achievements of the city coun-
ell. He says:
Last sprng we elected n city Council
composed of our ablest business men and
financiers. They were the salt of Alva.
They were the men who had always made
things go. They We're the men who have
built up Alva and made her what she is.
They were the men most heavily interest
ed in Alva's welfare and progress. We
promised the people that if they voted for
these men they would be proud of it the
rest of their mortal lives. We promised
the people great things which would grow
out OF that election. We made a hard
campaign in our little community for al
of them. We told the voter who didn't
vote for them that he was a chump of
the very chumpiest kind. We nearly
broke our fool neck to elect every one of
them. We promised water for the thirsty
and work for the unemployed. We did
our durndest. And we played hell. now.
didn't we? The only evidence of water
works at this late date is about 90 salt
barrels standing around the public square
although we are assured that all Of them
contain water. Our council are the salt
Of the earth. hence the salt barrels. We
have learned of only one lack Of har-
mony that ever existed among the coun-
cilmen in their councils. 1t is said that
some members were in favor of painting
the names of the councilmen on the salt
barrels as monument to their ability,
while some insisted on having simply the
name City of Ava" painted on them: and
the latter prevailed. much to the chagrin
and humiliation of the others. We re-
gret this lack of harmony in their midst
and fear that it viii impair the efficacy
OF the salt barrels in case of fire. The salt
of the earth and a salt barrel administra-
ton that the people accept with a grain
of salt.

substantial interest. You represent to
US that Shawnee would furnish US free
