New Enterprise.
FrIenda I'D relow.citIsens.

Friends and Tellow.C Citizens.
Il Is matter already made public
that Mr. Andrew Carnegie has Of
fered $4,000 to the city OF Guthrie
for the purpose of erecting public
library building, with the proviso
that the city furnish a site and a
maintenance OF $4,000 annually.
Our one mill levy will now give us
81 400, but this amount is $500 short
of meeting the requirement. and
making it possible for us 20 accept
Mr. Carnegie's generous gift.
The library board is confident that
this amount can be raised at once,
and they propose TO do it in the fol
lowing manner;
They viii issue memberships to the
library at one dollar each. Holders
Of membership cards are entitled to
draw books from the library for one
year. Heretofore membership tickets
have been issued at the rate Of two
dollars per year. No shorttime tick
cts viii be issued hereafter. and all
books taken from the library must be
drawn on annual membership cards.
Now, here is grand opportunity
for every loyal citizen Of Guthrie and
vicinity to assist in an enterprise
which will be of great public bene-
fit, and at NE same time give the
holders Of tickets ten times their
moneys worth of pleasure derived
from the reading of the new books
which win be placed within their
reach.
We cordially and urgently invite the
citizens of Guthrie to visit the library
and enter their names on the new
register that will be provided espeoi-
ally for the six hundred names at one
dollar each. The librarian will call
on all who do not find it convenient
TO come to the library.
Matters are being vigorously push
ed by the library board. They fully
intend that year hence an elegant
library structure shall adorn one II
the fine corners in the hea,t VI the
city.

MODERN HuMoR.
Comparison Of It With That Of Ward
and Billings.

The unusual activity of American
humorists is emphasized by the an
nouncement of ayear of wit and humor
IN one of the magazines. Not only
is the output of such me mas Peter f.
Dunno and George Ade extremely
large. but its quality is high. In the
past American humorous writings
have had great reputation. But the
work done today far surpasses that
o fthirt wears ago. Indeed, readers
of Modern Fables and "Mr Dooley"
would find the volumes OF Artemus
Ward, Josh Billings and the Danbury
News Man pretty dry picking.
This is explained in part by the
fact that the customs satirized by
Browne, Shaw and aBiley have chang
ed. The point of the satire is fire.

Blood and iron.


You could not live an hour without
iron in your blood.
You could not get the benefit of one
breath of air without this same iron.
The blood runs the circuit of the
Jody every three minutes, and when
it reaches the lungs each atom Of iron
takes two atoms of oxygen back with
it to keep the fires of life going. This
oxygen destroys waste matter and
helps to restore your wasted tissues.
If your blood lacks iron you lack
that much of life; you fail that much
to keep up the needed repair of your
bodies-that is, you get run down and
sick. This accounts for the life-glving
properties of Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic.
It supplies iron, and to do that is to
restore the full body building power to
the blood. This iron has 4 peculiar
life-quicksning function: vitality goes
down whenever any proportion of the
iron is lacking. Vigor anl stl ength re-
turn just as surely when this element
is restored.
Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic helps sick
or tired out people quickest because II
contains the particular blondmak'ne
and Strengthening form of iron that
the system needs. This remedy pnri
fes and enriches the blood, it IT.

"East Lynne"

East Lynne" a play that will live
when many more pretentious ones are
forgotten. will be seen at the Brooks
theater next Tuesday night, Nov y.
Almost everybody has read the
story, or seen the play produced by
an ordinary company, but never be
fore have they had an opportunity OF
seeing a specially selected company
in a production OF this character.
Miss Blanche stoddard, who plays
the part of Lady Isabel, is not only a
beautiful woman, but an excellent
actress, and the other members OF
the company are all players Of well
known ability.
East Lynne" Is a play that goes
home to every heart Millions have
seen the play and many more millions
viii see It again. Those who expect
10 see It during the forthcoming en-
gagement will have to secure theiI
