Buford, a leading attorney of Checotan.
who is in the city, says that Checotah
is experiencing a small boom in anti
cipation of statehood. He says that
within the past week 10 families have
moved into that city from Mississippi
with the intention of buying farm
lands near that city and establishing
their homes there. Checotah is largely
settled by people from Mississippi and
Tennessee, and is one of the most dis
htinctively southern cities in the terri
tory. g.
Checotah is one of the largest corn
markets in the Territory. 1t is esti-
mated that $4,000 bushels of corn
have been marketed there this season.
The Davidson Elevator company has
completed arrangements to establish
a large corn elevator there which will
be ready for operation by next fall and
it is expected that the production of
corn in the vicinity of Checotah will
be greater next year than ever before
in the history of the town. =.

NEURALGIA CURED
PATIENT GIVES ALL THE CREDIT
TO DIR. WILLIAMS PINK PILLS.
Disease Had Attacked the Heart and
Would Doubtless Have Been
Fatal Had Right Remedy
Not Been Taken.

That DIR. Williams Pink Pills will
cure neuralgia there is no room TO
doubt 60 many severe cases of this
painful disease have yielded TO these
pills that the sufferer who is prevented
BY prejudice from trying the remedy
deserves little sympathy. And there is
no disease in which the pain is more
acute. more agonizing than in some
forms of neuralgia. The disease is not
only painful but dangerous, as Ii is
liable to attack the heart when, unless
speedily cured. it is frequently fatal
Mrs. Charles Schultz, of 179 Thomas
street, Newark, y. J., suffered for sew
en- years with neuralgia which attacked
her heart and which did not yield to
the usual remedies. The story of the
cure is best told in her own words.
She says:
81 had scarlet fever and it left me
with a weak heart. Then l took cold
and a severe pain settled in the region
of my heart. My suffering was almost
beyond description. l could not talk
and the pain caught me at every breath.
The awful pains would come on sud-
denly and / would have TO sit right
down. 1 could not walk and would get
dizzy for a time.
81 was confined to bed for four weeks
at one time and nothing seemed to do
me any good. | was under physi-
clans care for months. He pronounced
my trouble neuralgia of the heart and
prescribed for me. The capsules he
gave me relieved me for time but the
pain came back again.
Finally DR.. Williams Pink Pills
were recommended to me by a lady
whose husband had ben cured of
paralysis by them and decided to give
the pills a good trial. While l was on
the second box | began to see an i'm
provement, the pains became less fire.
quent and at last / was entirely cured.
This was some time ago, but have had
no relapse and have been in good
health ever since I think there is no
medicine to equal Dr. Williams Pink
Pills.
Neuralgia is the cry of the nerves
for food. Ii means starved nerves. Like
every other part of the body the nerves
receive their nourishment through the
blood. DR.. Williams Pink Pills actu-
ally make new blood which carries to
the starved nerves the elements they
need. So these pills cure neuralgia
just as food cures hunger. They con-
tain not one particle of opiate, NOR
phine, cocaine or anything soothing"
They cure troubled nerves by remov-
ing the cause of the trouble
In the same way, by building up and
enriching the blood, they have cured
such diseases as anaemia, rheumatism,
sciatica, neuralgia, st. Vitus' dance,
stomach trouble, debility. paralysis, To-
comotor ataxia and the special all
ments of women and growing girls

MinstreIsy Old Diversion. Min
streisy, the oldest diversion recorded
by the ancients and which has grown
to be the popular form of entertain
ment for the masses of the present
day, is fundamentally nothing more
or less than singing in the true sense
of the word. In the days of Homer,
the wandering minstrel played the lutte
which served as an accompaniment to
his songs which chronicled the events
of the day. Scott, Tennyson and Long
fellow give minstrels prominent place
in their verses and it has ever been
the rule that the human voice has more
charm than any harmony instruments
have been able to produce. The hui
man race seems to be fascinated by
vocal music perhaps from instinct, for
it is the original and was once the on
ly form of music Although minstrelsy
has seen changes and improvements
since the days of Homer which rival
the progress in electricity and other
branches of science since those days,
vocal music plays a prominent part in
the present day minstrel show and a
chorus of 20 trained voices which
blend TO perfection, support the half

"Babes in Toyland."-"Babes in Toy

is musical extravaganza which has
had great vogue for the past two sea-
sons 1t is said that Hamlin and
Mitchell, the proprietors of the organi-
cation. have outdone themselves in this
production and that Babes in Toy
land" is one of the most extensively
mounted attractions now before the
American public The play was writ
ten by Glen Marlborough, an American
dramatist and librettist of note, and
the music composed by Victor Herbert
who is easily recognized as one of
Americas foremost musicians. A pleas
ant fairy story is told in Babes in
Toyland'' dealing with the adventures
that befell an orphan boy and girl
named Alan and Jane, who run away
from their home to escape the persecu-
lions of a misery old uncle. and who
come to the mythical country of Toy
land The management of the Illinois
theater personally guarantees this to
be the original company of 100 people
that recently played at the Chicago
opera house.

Leads in Manufacturing. Many
people are under the impression that
Davenport is not exactly what might
be called manufacturing city, lack
of factories existing here. 1t is true
that more factories could be accom-
modated and would be exceedingly
welcome, the more the merrier, but at
the same time it is interesting to know
that Davenport actually leads every
city in the state in the matter of cap
ital invested in manufacturing enter
prises. The national bureau of census
has just issued a bulletin on the man
ufactures of Iowa as shown by the cen
sus of 1905 This shows 173 manufac-
turing establishments in Davenport

and total value of manufactured pro-

of wage earners is 3,S40.
