Mrs. Lura NJ. Foster, who came to
 Prescott about i've or six weeks ago
 with her husband, s. c. Foster, from
 Seattle, Washington, died yesterday and the body was taken in charge by
 H. NJ. Maus & Go. who have prepared
 he body for shipment to Seattle where the remains will be inferred in the family cemetery. The husband, who has been by her bedside tenderly watching and caring for her during her sickness, will accompany the body home. The deceased was g years of age. Her little baby had died some months ago and ever since its death 'the mother had been failing until she too was cut down by the grim old reaper.
 The following very amusing little piece of bombast and expression of self conceit sounds very like the ex- pression: "What is needed on the board of trustees of the public schools is brains, and I am going to run for the position.

 The B.-B. company has a beautiful Easter window which is the admira- tion of all who pass the store. The figure of lady gowned in snowy whiteness and surrounded by one of the most handsome displays of faces, and other goods that attract the eyes of the ladies, that has been seen in the city this season. The display is beautiful in design and displays a stock of goods that is faultless. A pretty feature of the window display, and one that attracts the children, especially, is a bridge and brook scene. There is large doll represent ing a little girl standing on the bridge looking down into the brook below where a number of little ducks are about. The little girl is feeding the ducks and rabbit has slipped up behind, and has found a piece of the cracker and is sitting up eating it. The window is an artistic piece of work and should be seen by all.

took the former according TO direc-

ing It / would bathe my neck In very
warm water and Cuticura Soap. In a
few days the Cuticura Ointment had
drawn the swelling to head, when Il
broke. Every morning 1t was opened
with a large sterilized needle, squeezed
and bathed, and fresh Ointment put
on. Pus and blood, and a yellow,
cheesy, humorous matter came out. In
about three or four weeks time this
treatment completely eliminated the
tumor. The soreness that had ex-
tended down into my chest was all

Four Towns in indian Territory and

Special to Daily Leader
Muskchee, I. T. April 2O-The po
ltical wire pulling in Indian territory
and Oklahoma relative 10 a probable
location Of the capital when atehood
is acquired. is beginning to assume a
more definite and distinctive foru.
A dozen different towns in each ter
rltory are publicly proclaiming the
reasons why they should be designat
ed as the seat of government, but so
far only four seem to have fighting
chance so far as the general senti-
ment --Muskogee and South Nc
Alester in Inllan territory, and Guth-
rie and Oklahoma City in Oklahoma
territory.
But. hand in hand with the fight for
the capital is another cause of battle
-the location of two court centers in
case the proposed federal court bill Is
passed. This may have a great deal
to do with the location of the capital.
if congress is to be influenced by the
wire pullers Of the two territories
L is generally supposed that the
court bill will establish two divisions.
In such an event. the natural topog
raphy Of the proposed 8 ate is such
that the center Of one division would
necessarily fall in what Is now Indian
territory. and that Of the other, on
the Oklahoma side Of the present di
viding line. The spirited citizens o.
leach cf the four cities mentioned
would. losing the capital, gladly ac
cept the federal court in preference
to nothing. and consideration Of this
fact has resulted in some pairing.
Recently sentiment in Muskoge'
has begun to favor Oklahoma CITY il
preference to Guthrie, while, on thl
other hand, South McAles- -er is al
parenlly pairing with Guthrie
matters continue as they are. It seem
very probable tha, the real trad'ni
will soon begin. The supposition /
that Muskogee and Oklahoma Cit,
n will. after considering their RESPECTIVE
possibilities, come to an agreemen
whereby one will ges the others MOI

O her will receive a similar consider

Town and Guthrie would then hav
nothing to do but fall in line. Thi
would make pre- ty fight, If an od
