No Poison in Chamberlain's Cough Remedy

From Napier New Zealand, Herald;
Two years ago the Pharmacy Board
of New South Wales, Australia, had
an analysis made of all the cough
medicines, that were sold in that mar,
Ket. Out of the entire list they found
only one that they decided was ell"
tirely free from all poison. This excep-
ton was Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy, made by the Chamberlain Med
icine Company, Des Moines, iowa,
n. :. A. The, absence of all narcotics
made this remedy the safest and best
that can be had; and it is with feel
ing of security that any mother can
give it to her little ones. Chamberlain
I Cough Remedy is especially recon-

Indian Territory Is part Of the
original Louisiana purchase, and In
the treaty made with Napoleon the
United States government solemly
guaranteed that the new country
ceded, SO soon as 1t had the requisite
number Of people, should be admitted
as a state or states, with equal rights
and privileges with other states Of the
union. The treaty has never been re-
pealed. For nearly a decade the ter
ritory has been knocking at the door
Of congress with a plea for self au
tonomy.
All the important towns Of the ter
ritory will be represented at the fair
on October by delegations which
will be interested in calling the atten'
ton Of the public to the fact that In.
dian Territory citizenship is Of the
highest type. Many places have sc.
lected young ladies to represent them.
1t will be shown that besides the
material resources of the five civilized
tribes and Indians there is every evi.
dence of white mans country; that
the Indian proportion of population
does not exceed Is per cent. OF this
per cent the major part of their blood
is white. Out of the 100000 inhabi-
tants of the territory only 10000 are
OF Indian blood or extraction.
Some of the early pioneers of the
territory will visit the fair and be
present on October 1. II is unlikely
that any military organization will az.
company the delegations, owing to the
fact that companies are maintained
Independently and receive no support
from the federal government How.
ever, some of the towns may sub.
scribe toward sending one or two Of

Mayor Dick of Ardmore said that
Commissioner Hubbard would prob
ably outline a program within the
next few days. and until he acts moth

cerning 1t.

Much Keen Interest Is Being Manifested in the Affair."
Date Fixed for October 1st

ARDMORE: Keen interest is be.
ing manifested in Indian Territory

and 1t Is planned by the citizens OF
the territory interested in the matter
to celebrate the event in such man.
ner that public interest viii; be
aroused and at the same time call
the attention Of the outside world to
the fact that Indian Territory is q
country Of varied resources, rich in
agricultural possibilities, and offers to
the homeseeker every inducement to
settle In section that bids fair to
become one Of the most prosperous
and greatest in the union.
In the story of the progress of the
territory the point will not be over.
looked. It is said, to impress upon
persons who have little knowledge Of
conditions in this country that the
citizenship Of Indian Territory can be
compared favorably with that Of any
state where the American flag flies;
that her institutions and schools are
among the best, and that the capa-
bilities Of production will rival many
of the southwestern states.
Leading men who arc interested in
the territory's display are felecltat.
Ing themselves that the opportunity
has arisen to demonstrate to the gen.
eral public that Indian Territory, tho
youngest country within the boun.
daries of the United States, has made
q better showing than any new coun.
try under the sun, and this has been
done In spite Of the most distressing
conditions.
Facts and figures will be shown on
Indian Territory day to substantiate
the claim that the territory has out.
rivaled In progress and proserlty
some Of the older states, with an or.
ganized form Of government. and
where there was every oportunity for
the homesecker 20 prosper. Fer this
and other reasons the rise Of the ter.
ritory is considered all the more re-.
markable. Once out O; the chaos Of
uncertainty. Indian Territory made
remarkable headway. II had been
burdensd for many years with con.
flicting laws and unsettled conditions.

TO EXTEND STRIKE
AN EFFORT BEING MADE TO
HAVE ALL UNIONS Assist
RAILROAD EMPLOYEES NAY Be CALLED

stoekhandIers start the Movement
That May Spread to Al Unions
Affiliated With the striking Butch.
ere In Any Way
CHICAGO: A strong effort is to
be made by the leaders Of the unions
now at the stock yards to spread the
scope OF the strike SO that it will in.
clude every trade which is affiliated
in even remote degree with the
packing industry.
The first step in this direction was
taken when the stock handlers now
employed at the yards voted to go
on strike. There are about 1000 Of
these men, and their duties are to
look after and feed the cattle In the
pens between the time of their ar.
rival and the time of their killing.
Their action, therefore, will make it
incumbent upon the packers to pro.
vide other men to take their places.
President Donnelly of the butchers
union has declared that 1t is probable
that all Of the switchmen employed
on all the railroads who do switch.
ing at the yards would be called out.
1t Is also said to be probable that the
strike will be extended to other de.
partments Of the railroads.
