There is slavery where some free from the
work necessary for the satisfaction Of their needs
only to impose the same work upon others; where
there exists who does not work. not because
others work for him for love, but because he has
possibility Of not working himself and of forcing
others to work for him. There is slavery where,

His Last Hope Realized.

(From the Sentinel, Gebo, MONTY
In the first opening of Oklahoma to
settlers in 1899, the editor of this paper
was among the many seekers after for
tune who made the big race one fine day
in April. During his travelling about
and afterwards his camping upon his
claim, he encountered much bad water,
which, together with the severe heat,
gave him very severe disrrhoea 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 Chamberiain's Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy as last hope.
A big dose was given him while he was
rolling about on the ground in great
agony, and in a few minutes the dose
was repeated. The good effect Of the
medicine was soon noticed and within
an hour the patient was taking his first
sound sleep for a 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 DR.. G..

A Hack Team That Was Coming Down
Stump House Mountain.
Last Wednesday night about 10
O'Clock as team of Mr.. Chas Gaines
of Seneca came down Stump House
mountain road with driver and
a commercial traveller with bag
gage they were overtaken by a
severe thunderstorm. The drum
mer dismounted and preceded the
team. At curve in the road the
driver drove too near precipice
and the hack and horses went over
the driver saving himself by sprlng-
ing from the hack az he felt the
first wheel give way. Next morn
ing revealed the fact that one
horse had been killed, while the
other was apparently unhurt. The
hack was hurled about 80 feet and
was but slightly injured. The dead
horse was found at least 50 yards
from the road and every vestiga OF
harness was stripped off of both
horses. The road bed is a goot
one, but having no brakes on III
hack. the intense darkness and tn
driver beng unfamiliar with tt,
road, was probably the cause 0
misfortune.

Yankees laid down their arms and

Deafness Cannot be Curod

by loci applications as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There
is only one way to cure deafness, and
that is by constitutional remedies. Deaf
ness is caused by an infamed condition
of the mucous lining of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is iniamed you
have rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed.
Deafness is the result. and unless the in
famation 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 Casarrh, which is
nothing but an infamed condition of the
mucous services.
We will give One Hundred DollaSs ffvr
