SECRETARY Gage is having another
whack at the Treasury surplus. He is
buying bonds, when those who offer
them meet his own views. Perhaps he
thinks he won't have chance to buy
sany bonds after Congress gets a chance
at the surplus.

is unequaled by any other remedy.
If a cold has settled in any portion Of

hope of cure. This is not true, however,
Peruna cures such cases. Thousands Of

EAGLE PREDICTED IT
interesting story in Life Of Ferguson
Is Recalled.

Guthrie, o. T. Dec. 12-Charles Nc
Bryan. probate Judge of Blaine county,
Governor Ferguson's home county, tells
a story regarding the opening of the
Cheyenne and Arapahoe country which is
Of interest at this time. Seven or eight
men among whom were Governor Fergu-
son and McBryan were camped on tho
borders waiting for the opening. The
men were well equipped for the camping
out. having two large tents and three
wagons. Owing TO the fact that Ferguson
had had experience on the range. ne was
installed as cook and the boomers lived
well They made excursions TO the near
est town. which was forty miles away
in order to get papers and supplies. On
one trip a number Of Eagles were secured
and in one paper the statement was made
mat a future governor Of Oklahoma was
camping on the border waiting for the
opening. This item was read with inter
est and an election was Immediately
called in which Tom Ferguson was nomi-
mated and duly elected governor. The
incident was forgotten in the rush and
during the long years consumed in set
uirg up the new country. LAST Sunday
while talking over old times. the incident
was recalled and Governor Ferguson re-
membered all OF the details. which is an
other interesting feature in connect ton
with his appointment.

ANOTHER AGAINST JENKINS
Ex-Governor Didn't send Treasury
Report to Washington Monthly.

Guthrie, o. T.. Dec. 12-One Of the
things which confronted Governor Jenkins
when he made his trip to Washington to
fight for the retention Of his position was
the fact that he had not been sending to
the interior department a report from
the treasurer at the end Of each month as
to the condition of the finances of the
territory. Governor Jenkins Claimed that
he had never had any knowledge that
such a thing was required of him. This
was one OF the serious charges against
him. Governor Jenkins Immediately wired
10 the territory TO ascertain il there were
any such instructions on file in the gov
ernor's office The reply which went back
stated, it is understood, that the instruc-
tions had been received by Governor
Barnes from the interior department and
had been removed by Barnes when he
went out of office, claiming that they
were his private papers and hence be-
longed to him. This was rather an en-
barassing situation for Governor Jenkins.
One OF the things which the new adj
rninistration will do is TO send a report at
the end of each month, showing the ex-
act condition OF the territorial treasury,
so that the interior department may keep
check on what is being done.
