Oklahoma Cattle All Right.

Guthrie, Okla, Nov. 27.-Secretary
o. B. French, of the Oklahoma live
stock sanitary board, states that the
cattle of the territory are in splendid
condition for the winter, and that they
are remarkably free from diseases of
every nature. He said that since the
open season began, November Is, a
large number of Southern cattle had
been inspected and permitted to come
into the territory, where there is an
abundance of grain and roughness to
fit them for the market. The secretary
said that good many herds were turn
ed back because they were infected,
and the board had decided to rigidly
enforce the regulations adopted for the
protection of home cattle.

Rev. E. P. Stevens Of this place, that
gentleman has found a remedy for all
diseases of the kidneys and urinary
organs. For years he suffered severely
with these complaints, incontinence of
the urine, making life burden to him,
but he never ceased experimenting in
the hope that some day he would dis
cover remedy. After many failures
he has at last succeeded and is today
perfectly cured and well man, and
explains that his recovery is due to the
use Of Dodd's Kidney Pills. This rem
edy has been successfully applied to
many cases Of Lame Back, Rheuma-

other Kidney Diseases and there seems
to be no case OF the kind that Dodd's

Vincent stood at his bedroom win
dow that night, looking out, when
plaintive little voice, tired out with
the heavy duties of the day, confded
in him the awful intelligence of Cava-
nagh's engagement.
He had told her about 1t himself,
and had said that the engagement was
to be announced the next week when
he went back to town.
Vincent took the lit figure into his
arms. But he smiled broadly into the
friendly darkness-husbands are hui

In all the gay week that followed
it seemed that Cavanagh was attentive

night before the breaking up of the

Washington, Dec. 1.-The president
has removed William Jenkins as gov
ernor of Oklahoma and appointed
Thomas b. Ferguson, of Watonga, as
his successor. In taking this action
President Roosevelt gave his reasons

order of removal which is forcible re-
minder to public officials that their
Conduct must be above suspicion. He
speaks courageously and without any
sympathy for the governor, for he was
evidently very deeply impressed with
his wrong doing. He finds no excuse
for such conduct and says so in plain
words
Ferguson is territorial committee
man and has always been active in
territorial affairs. He has had the
confidence of the party leaders and his
paper, the Watonga Republican, has
been closely watched for indications as
to the plans of the party during cam
paign years. Just what political am
bition Ferguson had is not known.
He was pressed to take a land office
position last summer, but refused on
the grounds that he had his paper and
home at Watonga and was making
money there.
For several years he has been chair
man of the Republican party in Olslaho-
ma. The people of the territory are to
be congratulated upon his selection.
Mr.. Ferguson is a man of strictly
temperate habits, He is a pronounced
enemy to vice and is outspoken in his
opposition to gambling.
