IMPORTANT NEWSPAPER CHANGE
Henry Watterson's Courier. al
Announces New Policy.

During Three Decades the Louisville
Courier Journal has stood unalterably
and conspicuously before the public as
the representative of the great common.
atty OF the people against both Robbe1
Baron, seeking through the accretion
OF ill-got money to steal away the peo-
pies liberty by Stealing away their
franchise rights, and the ready-tool OF
the Robber Baron, the bandit politi-
clan, masquerading as Statesman
and patriot the better to serve the
ends OF his master. In fulfilling this
high function it has sometimes had To
go fast and sometimes to go slow, some
times to cry ''oward," and sometimes
to cry ''halt,' sometimes to drive at
the root of things, and sometimes to
drive ahead; but never changing the
direction of it's movement and al
ways true to the underlying principle
of its being, expressed by the simple
demand for "The Greatest Good to the
Greatest Number
With the advent of the New Year,
that is on the first of January, 1908,
the Courier-Journal began a campaign
from which it looks for commanding
results, and the better to reach the
objects it has before it, the twice.a-
week edition was changed to once-a
week edition, returning to the old
Weekly Courier-Journal. which for a
quarter of a Century was literally a
political bible to millions of Americans
who knew they could trust both its pre-
science and it's disinterestedness.
The new Weekly Courier Journal is
modern in every respect, and is a |
paper for the home. It is issued every
Wednesday, and its ten or twelve
pages are filled with the
best work of the best writer's. The
price of the paper is ST. a year, in ad-
vance, and it is we'll worth it.
BY special arrangement with the
publishers of the Courier-Journal YOU
can get that paper and the ROSEBUD
COUNTY News one year for only $500.

n WOnlan,s Complexion.

1t is rank foolishness to attempt to
remove sallowness or greasiness of the
skin by the use of cosmetics, or "local"
treatment, as advocted by the "beauty
DOCTORS. The only safe and sure wav
that a woman can improve her com.
plexion is by purifying and enriching
the blood, which can only be accom-.
Used by keeping the liver healthy and
active. The liver is the seat of disease

Flower acts directly on the liver,
cleanses and enriches the blood, puri-
fies the complexion. 1t also cures con-
stipation, biliousness, nervousness, and
induces refreshing sleep. A single

known to cure the most pronounced
and distressing cases of spepsia and
indigestion. New trial size bottle, Is

a farmer living one and one-half miles

some time he struck a small fissure IN

FOR plsTILLING PLANT.
Arrangements Have Been Completed
to Erect one at Shawnee.

Shawnee. o. T. Dec. 15.-Some months
since several gentlemen from the east
visited this city and concluded that every
thing here was favorable to the estab-
iishInent of a distilIing pant. as every
thing 20 use in one of those institutions
is grown here and the finest grades OF
liquor could be distilled at nominal
cost, says the News.
Preparations are now being made for a
plant OF this character. Mr. Esterwood,
OF Tennessee, a leading capitalist OF that
state, in connection with l.. B. Howell.
of the Kentucky Liquor House. and other
gentlemen. has purchased a tract of land
near the river west of this city and are
waiting to obtain title before beginning
work The money for the property is
now in bank here. and the deeds will
probably be turned over TO the new own
ers this week.
The new plant will cost upwards CT

will be of up-to-date character. capable
of handling a large amount OF vegetables,

RANDLETT-IS
EXONERATED
Investigation Into the Indian
Agents Act Is thorough.
CHARGES ARE DESTROYED
Lone Volt SWore to Matters
He Did Not Know.

. Washington, Dec. 15.-Indian Agent
Randlett, in charge of the Kiowa, Com
anche and Apache agency in Oklahoma,
and Indian Inspector Nesler are COM
pletely exonerated by Francis E. Leupp
in his report on the investigation of
charges against those officials by dis
satisfied Indians who alleged among other
things, that allotments were made to
dead Indians and white men.
The report says that not a single
charge of wrong doing wass ustained
by the evidence against either official
and that Ihe nearest approach to a
proved case is general complaint that
Randlett has an unruly temper. Mr..
Reupp says aganet Randlett is one of
the best agents in the service. Two
cases of arbitrary allotments were found,
one being double allotment, and the
two cases were look like allotments oc
aliens. The arbitrary allotments, inyes
tigation showed had not been concealed
from the interior department. The allot-
ing agent already had called attention
20 one of the double allotments, while
the other discoveries were made by care
full examination at the pay table" Two
other cases wered iscovered on the Wich-
ita reservation and laid before the grand
jury. As to Lone Wolf, the report says,
Inc conclusion is inevitable that he had
been victimized into swearing to state
