His Last Hope Realized.

From the Sentinel, Gebo, Monot. }
In the first opening of Oklahoma to
settlers in 1889, the editor of this
paper was among the many seekers
after fortune who made the big race
one fine day in April. During his
travelling about and afterwards his
camping upon his claim, he encoun-
tered much bad water, which, to-
gether with the severe heat, gave
him very severe diarrhoea, which
it seemed almost impossible to check,
and along in June the case became
SO bad he expected to die. One day
one of his neighbors brought him one
small bottle Of Chamberlain's Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy as a
last hope. A big dose was given him
while he was rolling about ON the
ground in great agony, and in q few
minutes the dose was repeated The
good effect of the the medicine was
soon noticed and within an hour the
patient was taking his first sound
sleep for q fortnight. That one little
bottle worked complete cure, and he
cannot help but feel grateful. The
season for bowel disorders being at
hand suggests this item. For sale by

Farmers Telephone Meeting.

Representatives Of the different
farmers telephone lines Of the county
met at the court houes on Saturday
afternoon and talked over the pro.
posed plan to establish central sta.
ton at DEBORAH, with which all the
lines should connect, thus giving them
service Of the entire county. Mr..
jacobson of Lincoln township presid.
ed, and Mr.. Torgrimson, of Spring
field township, acted as secretary.
After some discussion it was decided
to request the different lines of the
county to meet and. then send one re.
preventative to meeting to be held
at the court house ON June 14th, when
the matter would be definitely decid-
ed. 1t seemed to the concensus OF
opinion that the plan was feasible
and practical.

An transformations Observance.

On account of the recent disaster to
DEBORAH, the public observance OF
Memorial Day which had been ar
ranged for was dispensed with, and as
a consequence no services were held
on Friday. The ladies of the Womans'
Relief Corps met and prepared large
number of boquets, which on Friday
morning were deposited upon the
graves of the old soldiers in the diff
erent cemeteries by the Sons of veter-
ans. Other thap this there was no
official observance. The cemeteries,
however, were visited by large mum.
bers, who went there to strew flowers
upon the graves of loved ones, and as
a consequence the appearance of the
burying grounds was beautiful.

Notice regarding Disinfecting.

] Suggestions regarding an easy and
cheap way to disinfect houses, cellars,
carpets, etc.
All carpets should be disinfected
after they are dry before laying down.
Take 40 per cent solution of formal
delyde. ct is cheap and can be pre-
/. pare by any druggist.) Put it in a
common garden sprinkler and
sprinkle the carpets well. Fold up
and put into tight box for 10 to "a
hours. Several families could join in
this matter using one large box and
facilitate time and expense. To
Thoroughly disinfect cellar evapo-
rate from l to 8 ozs. of solicited for
maldehyde. Keep all doors and win
dows closed from five to fifteen hours,
owing to the amount used. A fairly
efficious disinfection of chairs,
lounges, walls and etc. can be obtain
ed by sprinkling the same with 40
per cent solution and keeping the house
closed for several hours.
To keep down odors evaporate ii to
OF of solicited formaldehyde or sus-
pend sheet sprinkled with 40 per
cent solution.
So many questions have been asked
regarding the sanitary condition of
the mud taken from the cellars and
should it be used for lot filling In
reply to this we will say there is no
reason why this deposit of mud is not
a perfectly sanitary substance unless
it is contaminated with some foul de-
composing vegetable matter that exist
ed in the cellar before the food. In
this case it should be carried outside
the city limits.
Do not think that every odor is an
unhealthy one. Because the food
swept district smells bad is no sign
we are to have plague
Asafaedita smells bad, yet scores of
people believe it is specific for all
infectious diseases. Neither think
that the health department is trying to
shift its duty or that we are tired of
complaints for we want you to report
odors and we would consider it favor
for any one to inform us the where
abouts of any offending matter.

Deafness CANNOT Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deaf
nesms, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infiamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets infiamed You
have rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely clos
ed deafness is the result, and unless
the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an inflamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars
for any case of deafness Caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall g

TWO NARROWLY ESCAPE DEATH.

A circumstance happened in Dry
Run on Friday afternoon about two
O'Clock, which nearly cost two lives.
A number of boys were playing in
the water near the L.. ]. Andersen
stables, wading and floating about ON
an improvised raft, and Thos Gilman
was working at the Riley q Baker
lumber yard, repairing the fence. He
heard the boys calling, and looking
in that direction saw boy struggling
in the water. 1t proved to be the son
of A. d. Palmer, about ten years old,
and he had gotten into a deep place
which the food had washed into the
creek. Mr.. Gilman at once ran to the
rescue, and when he got there the boy
was nearly drowned. He jumped into
the water after the boy, who had gone
down, and he grabbed Mr.. Gilman
about the arm and back, crawling up
onto his head, where he held them
both down into the water. 1t seemed
for time that both would be drowned,
but Mr.. Gilman, realizing their
perilious position, by supreme
effort threw the boy off from himself
and some four feet away where the
water was shallow, and he was
promptly rescued. Mr.. Gilman was
too far gone to get out himself, but a
rope was thrown to him by those who
had gathered ON the bank, and he was
pulled out, with scarcely any strength
left. 1t was very narrow escape
for both of them.

Mr.. Ruth who has been insane for

about twelve o'clock, jumped from the

ground, breaking limb in the fall.
His condition had been improving of
late, but the food made him more
violent, and he has been very unruly
since.
