Kiniflsher, Okla, March n, 1901.
Jesse b. McQuic:
Dear Comrade; | cannot recall
how you look, but the facts you

Your very kind and good letter
Is flattering to me-that the old
boys after so many years should
give expressions to my worth rs a
soldier, not only gratifes but car
ries me back to the marches, hard
ships and battles. which we did,
and suffered over a generation ago
''for the love OF our country and its
flag" Read the clippings l send,
take warning, and keep your $50.
Watch the papers and save all the
Information you get, when you
want a homo you will have your

Hunt For Errors In Magazines.

Editorial vigilance is the only
safeguard against errors In maga-
zinc-making. Every article that
IL published In The Ladies' Home
Journal, for instance. Is read at
least four times In manuscript form
and all statements OF fact verified
before II goes to the printer. Thcn II
IL read and revised by the prooircs-
dcrs; goes back to the author for
his revision: IL rc-read by the cdi-
tors three or more times, at diiYcr-
cnt stages; and again by the proof
readers possibly half u dozen times
additional. Thus cnch article In
read ut least fifteen and often twcn-
ty times after leaving the authors
hands until II reaches the public
eye. But with all this unrcmltting
vigilance errors OF the most obvious
kind occasionally escape obscrva-
tion until perhaps thu final reading,
but IL IN rare, indeed, that an in
accuracy hides itself In the pages
securely enough to 10 through n
magazines edition.

Stopping the Paper.

Last week subscriber came in
to renew his paper, and asked why
we did not stop his paper when his
time was out. "Do you not want
to get 1t another year?" was asked.
He replied, "Ycs, but you could
have stopped it first and then start
cd 1t again when I subscribed"
Occasionally the argument Is met
and II Is hard to get over or around.
So many OF the Statesman's
friends ask us to wait till they
come to town, or till they sell their
hogs or hay, or till they get the
money, we actually believe II Is an
accommodation to most of our
readers to wait till they notify us
before stopping their paper. In a
few cases we lose the price of a
years subscription, while trying
TO accommodate our friends. Now,
and then, one who promised to pay
soon, either dies or move away or
discovers that he "never signed
for the paper no how" and then
lose. But there ore so many good
substantial people who pay for
what they get, VIC soon forget the
scoundrels who beat us because
we trusted them.
Ii asked to to discontinue sup
scciption when II has expired, We
do so cheerfully; but If the read
er continues to take 1t out and us-
es 1t six or eight months and then
requests II to be stopped, we are
not so cheerful, unless it is paid to
date.
No subscriber can plead igno-
rance as to the time to which his
paper is paid, because the date Is
printed with his name upon thu
margin or wrapper OF the paper. II
is there for his benefit as well a.
ours. Truth Is, there Is fame ano
fortune for the man who will dc.
wise plan for stopping the papel
of the fellow who wants it stopped,
for continuing the paper to the one
that wants it continued, and TO
shaking the subscription price
from the pockets of those wh'
willfully take advantage OF thu
editor and refuse to pay for th'
paper.--Columbia Statesman.

WELL PLEASED.
Officers Liked the Work of the
Soldiers at Canton.

At the armories of the local militia
companies the men were busted MOE
day night in unpacking their equip
ment that had been dumped in the
armories on the return of the COM
panies from Canton. There were no
drills. The commanders of the Ak
ron companies signify that they are
we'll pleased with the conduct Of their
men In the late call that was made
for their services and all are pleased
that the efforts of the soldiers were
appreciated by the people of Canton.
Much credit is given the militiamen
for the able manner in which they
handled the crowds there. The Off
GERS We're worried at the beginning
because of the unfortunate happenings
at Washington, where the regular SOL
diers were unable to hold back the
crowds and there were several fatal
tiles. The Ohio soldiers had no diff
Guilty beyond the necessity of using
the rife butts on several men who
were found to be crushing women in
the crowd and would not desist when
SO ordered.

SHEEP FROZEN
IN SOLID ICE.
Herd Must Have Been Caught by
Blizzard.

Vancouver, B. O., Sept. 24.-The
Dawson News prints a remarkable
story about the prospecting tour, just
completed, of II. w. Bracken, who
has returned to Dawson after six
months in northern Alaska Accord
ing to Bracken's narrative, while in
the mountains, about 1000 miles from
Dawson, he and his servants ascended
a glacier 5000 feet high. There they
found a herd Of mountain sheep fro
zen in the ice.
The theory is that some extreme
mid-winter blizzard had caught them
while stampeding over the dome. Then
the sheep huddled together and per-
ished, the snow gradually forming an
ice coating. Whatever portions Of
the bodies of the sheep were above
the ice were devoured by Arctic bears
and wolves.
Bracken is said to be q scientific
miner of twenty-five years experience,
having resided three years In the
Yukon.

HOPEFUL
The Condition of
Mrs. Mckinley.
Shows Interest In Her
House Affairs.
Takes Long Drives and
More of Them.
Mrs. McKinIey's Maid Has Come
From Washington.

Canton, O., Sept. 24.-(Spl.)-While
DR.. Rixey said last night that there
is no particular change in the condi-
tion Of Mrs. Mckinley, the day
brought out several encouraging In
cidents. One Of these was the fact
that Mrs. Mckinley took her meals in
the dining room and showed more
interest in the affairs of the house
than she has at any time. Another
was that she was able to take long
er drive, and hence secure more pure,
fresh air Monday than at any time
since coming from Washington.
AS usual, Mrs. Mckinley, Mrs. Bar
Der, and Or. Rixey drove out to West
Lawn cemetery Monday and spent a
short time at the side of the casket
in the vault. Later they again drove
into the country, and made their trip
more extended than any of its prede-
cessors.
The household was increased Mon
day by the arrival of Mrs. Charles
Tharin, who has been Mrs. McKin-
ley's maid for several years, and who,
since the funeral, has looked after
Mrs. McKinley's effects in the White
House and had them sent to Canton.
She will remain here as long as she
can be Of service in adding to the
comfort Of Mrs. Mckinley.

ALL WRONG.
The Mistake Is Made by Many
Akron Citizens.

Don't mistake the cause of backache
TO be cured you must know the
cause.
1t is wrong to imagine relief is
cure.
Backache is kidney ache.
You must cure the kidneys.
An Akron resident tells you how
this can be done:
Mrs. w. Greenert of 3O6 Washing
ton ST., says: ~ read about Doan's
Kidney Pills and being in need of such
n remedy, I procured them at Lam
parter & Co.'s drug store. I can con-
scientiously say that they cured me
of pains in my back and annoyance
from inactive kidneys from which I
suffered for long time. | had also
more or less headaches and the kid
ney secretlons We're not as they should
be. When STOPPING sharp, acute twinges
passed through my loins, the least
eXertion wearied me, and had no am
bition, but felt more tired In the
mornings than the night before. Since
using Doan's Kidney Pills have been
quite free from these troubles and
give all credit to that valuable and
reliable remedy"
