The Twentieth Century club of Du-

Miss Mary B. Statham. who spent a
winter in Washington, and made a
study at that time Of clubs in general

whose mission now will be to show
the people of Vinita that race dis

it is purely matter of taste, but

It was but natural for Indian
Territory to desire the appoint
ment of w. H. Darrough, of Vini.
ia, as United States marshal of the
northern district when the divis-
ion of territory was made July l..
His appointment was championed
because he bad the endorsement
OF the territorial organization and
was for several weeks dark horse
in race against carpetbag field.
But the "home rule" man has dis.
tinguished himself by forgetting
that dangerous color line existed;
by advocating equality by elevat-
ing a negro to an appointive office
over a number of white applicants.
He has announced the appoint
ment Of Louis Muldrow, colored,
guard at the United States Jail,
much to the disgust of staunch
friends and party workers at vini-
Ia. AS guard, the negro will be in
charge of white prison efs, and
Vinita claims that law breaker

Jail without standing example of

ANCIENT
TORTURE
How it has Been Revived
in Modern Times.

An ancient method of poisoning
criminals was to force them TO swal-
low quantities Of BULBS blood. Bulls
blood is really no poison at all. Yet
the prisoner usually died in agony,
caused by the coagulatien or harden
ing of the bulls blood in the stom-
ach. The pressure Of this solid mass
on the vital organs almost always re-
suited fatally.
That's like Indigestion. If your
food doesn't digest it remains in a
hard lump in the stomach. Gases
form which crowd other organs, Many
cases OF supposed heart disease are
due to Indigestion.
This trouble is removed by the use
Of such a preparation as Kodol Dys-
pepsia Cure, wdich gives the stomach
perfect rest by digesting what you eat
without the stomach's aid. The food
builds up the body. The rest restores
the stomach to health. You don't
have to diet.
During the last few yearsn stom-
ach was in such condition that |
couldn't retain the food ate, writes
