According to a writer in the Kan
sas City Journal. Indian Territory has
several exclusive negro towns. Ono Is
called Rentiville, after one Of tho pro-
moters, and is located fifteen miles
south Of Muskogee, on the Missouri.
Kansas & Texas railroad. Tho Creek
nation has q number Of other negro
towns. among them being one known
as Wildcat. It is q government town
site. Everything in the place is tho
property of colored people. The peo-
pie of no other race are allowed to
settle there. It is said by those ac-
quainted with the place that II an oc-
casional white person chances to come
in on business or otherwise the word
is soon passed around to him: white
man, don't let the sun go down on you
here!" A hint Is all chat is necessary.
Another negro town is Wybark, To-
Gated on the Arkansas river at the
point where the Oklahoma branch of
the Missouri. Kansas & Texas railroad
leaves the main line north Of Nusko-
gee. This place is a shack town and
is well known to commercial men
making the territory. By many it ia
regarded as upper tendon" in col
ored society, on account of the lcca-
tion of negro academy within a
short distance.

An Easy Way To Do Il.

Mineral, Idaho. April 11.-Mr. d.
s. Colson of this place has something
to say which will be of interest to
many men. Mr.. Colson claims to
have found simple way to get rid of
pains in the back, Sciatica or Rheu-
matism. He has cured himself and
SO claims personal experience in proof
Of his method.
Mr.. Colson says:-
Il had awful pains in my hip. They
got so bad at last that could hardly
walk. tried several things, but got
no relief till l began to use Dodd's s
Kidney Pills and l had taken but a
few Of these pills till the pain left
me entirely.
'Dodd's Kidney Pills certainly did
me lots Of good and consider them
great medicine"
The remedy that cured Mr.. Colson
is the same that has been making
such sensational cures of Bright s
Disease. Diabetes. Dropsy and Rheu-
matism all over the country. The
name Of the medicine is Dodd's Kid.

Paper Car Wheels,

In making paper car wheels 120 to
$50 layers are put together with flour
paste and subjected to pressure of
500 tons while at a temperature of 120
degrees Fahrenheit. The blocks are
then turned in lathe. slightly larger
than the tire, and the hole is bored for
the castiron center. In turning. the
paper blocks make a shaving that re-
semble strips of leather. The average
life of the tire of paper wheel is
about 100000 miles. That represents
about one and one-quarter inch wear
The centers do not seem to be affect
ed by service, and they are always
good for renewal of tires unless some
accident happens to them

Fish Not a Brain Food.

The idea that fish nourishes the
brain is popular fallacy. says the
London Lancet. 1t is doubtful wheth-
er any given food in common use con-
tains constituents which have a select
i've action, or the property of minister
ing to any one part of the body more
than another. 1t is often said that
fish is food which ministers particu-
larly to the needs of the brain because
it contains phosphorus. AS matter
of fact. fish does not contain it in the
free state. The notion that fish cSn-
tains phosphorus had. no doubt, its orr
gin in the glowing or phosphorescence
in the lark. This phosphorescence is
due not to phosphorus at all, but to
micro-organisms.

The End OF Coloradoss

There Is every indication that
the strike situation in Colora5s is
past its worst phase. and that rom

Reports from Cripple Greek and

coal mines is also on the increase.
Consequently Governor Pea body
has good reasons for expressing his
belief that things will be practical
ly normal BY the middle Of Janu-
ary.
The phenomenal Christmas busi-
ness in Denver indicates that the
disturbed labor conditions have
had less effect than many people
feared. 1t is true that the strikes
had some effect in many lines of
industry and trade, but the resour-

prosperous holiday season resulted

Of the facts stated in the complaint

court would have to possess the
the power TO decree a remedy and
have likewise the power TO enforce
its decree. In like manner with
such situation a that presented
at Sunnyside. where there was
originally no complaint OF wages
or hours, but simply an unlawful

that the management should adopt
rules which no employees have
either a legal or moral right to

nation of absolute liberty because
