Political Faiths.

Eufaula, Aug. 1S.-Five thousand
people gathered here attracted by
the picnic and barbecue given by
the Commercial Club. The picnic
took place in beautiful park about
one mile west of the city and is
conceded to be one of the most sue
cessful ever held in this community.
j. M. Graves, state lecturer for
the Farmers Union, delivered an ad-
dress in the morning which ws in
structive as well as sensible and was
given good attention by the farmers
who attended in large numbers.
The afternoon was given over en-
tirely to politics, Hon. j. H. Wilkins,
of South McAlester, delivering an
eloquent address and argument of
the Republican principals, while SEN
ator Gore, the blind orator of Okla
homa, presented the Democratic doc

A ball game in the afternoon be-
tween Oktaha and Eufaula resulted
in shut-out for Oktaha by large
score. Plenty of barbecued beef was
on hand to feed the multitude and
no one went hungry. All manner of
amIsements were on the grounds. So
great a success was the picnic that
there is talk of another in the near
future.

How to Get the Better Of This Cause
Of Misery.

u usory.
A scientific writer upon stomach
troubles says: "If you have ever suf,
fered from Indigestion who has
notf-your imagination has probably
pictured a ferocious little imp dane
ing in the pit of your stomach, caus-
ing that organ to neglect all its duties,
with the result that it is not only
painful, but fills you with misery from
day to day." The writer certainly
had suffered with indigestion, for
there is no more disagreeable, nerve
racking and sick-all.over disease than
indigestion.
A great many people who have been
treated for years for diseases Of the
heart, liver or kidneys, when they
used Mona stomach tablets, found
that not only did Mona cure the
stomach disorder, but it made them
well all over and the other troubles
were also cured.
II you suffer with nervousness,
sleeplessness, indigestion, sick or ner-
vous headache, pains in the back or
sides, get SOC box Of Mi-o-pa from
Shackle Drug company and take one
of the little tablets before each meal.
1t will do you world of good and
you will soon be we'll and free from
indigestion and its symptoms. The
Shackle Drug company has so much
faith in this medicine that they give
an absolute guarantee with every
box. Ask them to show you this
guarantee.

ber Of years done vast amount of
charitable work in the Indian Terri
tory.
The First Presbyterian church at
Wagner is a beneficiary Of this wo-
man. Henry Kendall college in Mus,
kogee is an institution which she has
done much for in financial way. A
few years ago Mrs. Thaw introduced
through the territory several circulat-
ing libraries, which we're sent from
town to town, and to the remotest cor
ners of the territory, and in this man.
ner did much to develop a teste for
reading among the poorer classes.
In all her charities she is modest to
degree and her friends who are
aware of her splendid unselfshness
and know her intimately, resent the
many stories which have been printed
in the metropolitan papers about her.
In Muskogee Mrs. Thaw has person
al friends who through contact with
her in q social way, and knowing the
quiet manner in which her charitable
work is accomplished, speak of her in
the very highest terms. Mrs. Thaw's
pastor in the Presbyterian church was
Henry Kendall, after whom the college
in Muskogee was named, not because
he endowed the school, but as mark
of respect of the high regard in which
he was held by those establishing the
Institution.
SO well did Mrs. Thaw regard Rev.
Kendall that she named her son Har-
ry K, after him. Mrs. Marguerite
Wade, a niece of Mrs. Thaw, who is at
present a member of the faculty at
Kendall college, has been in Muskogee
