In IL Q first opening OF Oklahoma 10
settlers in 1889, the editor of this paper
was among the many seekers after fol-
tune who made the big race N 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 a very severe diarrhoea
which it seemed almost impossible to
check, and along in June the case be-
came 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 a few moments
the dose was repeated. The good effect
OF the medicine was soon noticed and
within IN hour the patient was taking
his first sound sleep for a fortnight
That one little bottle worked a complete
cure, and he cannot help but feel CRATE.
full. The season for bowel disorders be-
ing at hand suggests this item. For sale
by all druggists.

Miss Lulu Pitcher has been confined
to the house for the last week having
difficulty with her feet which are very
much swollen and quite painful. The
trouble is attributed to the pairing of a
corn and it is feared that it may be a
case of blood poisoning. However, as
the orr was only on one foot, and the
swelling is in both feet, we cannot IN
derstand how that can be, and we think
they will have to look further for a rea-
son for the trouble. At any rate we sim
cerely hope it will not prove serious.

We noticed on Thursday that the
workmen were busy removing the bar
and fixtures from the saloon belonging
to Mr.. Douglas easier. Upon inquiry
we learned that it was not the intention
to discontinue the business but simply
to exchange the fixtures here to be re-
placed by those at present used in their
saloon at Hill City. 1t seems like an
expensive undertaking for what good it
will do, but they should know their own

saw on the streets of Custer an
automobile. 1t was propelled by gaso-
line and steared by its owner, Mr.. I. V.
Garlock, who had very recently made
the purchase. 1t puffed naturally, glided
along smoothly, stopped easily, and stood
quietly without hitching. We were
reminded of the Chinaman's description
no mulee, no hose, no pulle, no pushee,

an excellent thing for half grown up

to be death on horses. They ought to
be given something they couldn't kill.
