Treat catarrh in Spring.

The spring Is the time 10 treat catarrh.
Cold, wet winter weather often retards
a cure of catarrh. If q course of Peruna
is taken during the early spring months
the cure will be prompt and permanent.
There can be no failures If Peruna is
taken intelligently during the favorable
weather of spring.

eradicates catarrh from the system
wherever it may be located. 1t cures
catarrh of the stomach or bowels with
the same certainty as catarrh of the head.

house yard which were used for whip ping posts. Almost all crimes except murder were punished with whipping, from fifty to one hundred lashes being laid upon the bare back of the offender. A rope was tided about his wrists and the loose end swung over limb of the tree His hands were drawn above his head and the lashes were administered without regard to the prisoners feel ings.
 The Creeks discouraged professional criminals by executing, a prisoner after Sit had been found necessary to whip him three times This had whole some effect, and it is said there was less crime in the Creek nation when the old Indian laws were in effect than at present under the regime of the United States courts.
 Il movement Is Aon foot to preserve the historic trees tn the council yard which were the silent Instruments of justice during the days of Indian supremacy, to keep alive the memory of the scenes enacted under them. The council yard in the center of which stand the old Creekcouncilhous whose laws of the tribe have been enacted fo the last thirty years, is now sur rounded by modern business blocks and 1t is only ground owned in com mon by the tribe within the town of okmulgee During the session of the Creek council many Indians camp there sleeping on the ground at night and hanging their blankets in tbe trees in 1 the daytime.--Kansas City Jounai.

CREEK CRIMINALS SHOT
TREES IN COUNCIL HOURS YARD
 THE PLACE OF EXECUTION.

Allowed to Choose the ExeeutiOner,
 Who Was Frequently Criminals Best
 FrIend-sOme Curious Tribal Cus-
 toms.
 Within the stone fence inclosing the old Creek council house at okmulgee, I. T., stand several trees under which a number of Indians have been whip ped or put to death under sentence of the Indian courts. The last execution in the Creek nation occurred in the council house yard nine years ago and a tree, tall sycamore standing with in few feet of the stone wall, is pointed out to visitors as the one to which the prisoner was tied while a captain of the light horse guard put him to death with a rifle ball.
 The name Of the prisoner was Tim othy Jack. and he was sentenced by the Creek court at okmulgee for stab ping another Indian to death at a dance. He was sentenced to be ex- ecuted and, according to the Creek custom, was given an opportunity to name the person who should fire the fatal bullet into his body. Duke Ber- ryhill, for many years captain of the light horse guard of the Creek nation. was selected by Jack as his execution I.er. It was a common practice among | Indian criminals about to be put to death to choose one of their friends to do the work. Jack had at one time been an officer in the light horse guard under Berryhill and he entertained a high regard for the captain. Berry, hill performed his task well, although it was a painful one to him.
 Captain Berryhill, who Is now clerk ing in store within full view of the scene of the execution, pointed out the tree to a Journal representative. ri you go over there and examine that sycamore in the corner of the yard" he said, you still see the hole in the trunk where the bullet entered, al- though it Is almost closed by the new fiber of the tree. We strapped the prisoner to the tree in a standing DO sition with his breast exposed. Then we pinned a round piece of paper over his heart which served as a target and I fired at that. regretted the neces- sity of executing Jack, but 1t was his wish and he would have scarcely for given me if I had allowed any other person to fire the shot
 Berryhill says that shooting was the legal form of execution among the Creeks. Hanging was considered dis graceful, but to be shot was more like the death of soldier, and hence more 1 honorable, for even the Indian crlmina desired to die the least ignominious death possible. It was the usual GUS tom to allow the prisoner to select two linen to execute him. The executioners preferred this, as there was always a doubt as to who was responsible foI the fatal shot,
 There is an old Indian buryine ground within the limits of Okmulget which has been the scene of severa Indian executions. When such place was chosen the prisoner was tied to a tree near the open grave which hat been prepared to receive his body. Tn, Indian seldom if ever showed signs oi fear on the eve of his execution, al teven in the last moments Of his life he did not wish to appear in the light l of a coward fn his fellows
