TIE OLD WAFER WAGON.

How lonely, forsaken, detected and
solemn, the wagon now stands
at the side Of the street,
With iclcles dangling like spears from
a column of soldiers. and cover
ed with snow and with sleet.
The driver is missing, the horses are
banished: the riders slid of and
skidooed down the road;
And lslaye the Recovered wagon
have vanished to hunt for a
warmer and pleasanter load.
The Ice-covered wagon,
The sleet.covered wagon,
The old water wagon where water
once flowed.
oh, well remember the morning it
started, fresh painted as If it wsFe
new from the shop,
And how when the crowds on the
crossings were parted, lot
clambered on, as 1t came to a
stop.

gardens exhaling perfumes were
aglow $50 they felt) and, per.

Some hundreds were left on the cor

The fresh painted wagon,
The popular wagon,
That carried those cheerful and reso-
Lutte chaps.
No swift.speeding chariot in old Col
liseum e'er heard such acclaim
on its well.beaten track,
No white.yested chorus e'er sang a
TIE Deum so well and so strong
as this self.ransomed pack.
But, oh, tie sad sight that descends on
my vision, as zero and snow fur
ries ride on the storm
old l3oreas laughs with a mockiag de-
ris!on and the crowd scamrors
hack after something that's
warm.
The water.logged wagon,
The recovered wagon,
The old water wagon alone in the

Great Victory for General Intelli-
gence. Mistaken Ideas Surrender.
Owing to our method of living and
lack of exercise diseases of the liver
are becoming alarmingly prevalent.
About three-fOurths of the women
have sluggish liver, and about half
of the men are similarly affected.
Inactivity of the liver Immediately re-
suits in diseases of the stomach and
bowels, and in a short space of time
some form of the liver trouble fire.
quently develops.
Hundreds of people have taken dys-
pepsia cures for years without receiv-
ing any benefits simply because they
were treating the wrong disease. The
trouble was not the stomach, but the
liver. Hundreds of people have taken
all kinds of anti-constipation rem
edies for years without receiving any
benefit, simply because they were
treating the wrong disease. The
trouble was not with the bowels, but
with the liver.
You can make no mistake in taking
Dillingham's Plant Juice, because it
cures dyspepsia, liver trouble and
constipation. So if you have dys-
pepsia and the trouble is with your liv-
er you do not need a physician to
diagnose your case. because Dilling-
hams Plant Juice cures all or both.
You are always safe in taking Dill
lingham's Plant Juice.
AS liver troubles progress some of
the following symptoms are generally
present: Headaches, bitter taste in the
mouth, bowels irregular, indigestion,
pimples. restlessness, feet and hands
cold; occasionally the complexion be-
comes pale and sallow.

tanned at Bell Bros, Dawson.

STOP R. F. D. SERVICE7
POSTOFFICE DEPARTMENT WILL
INSPECT THE ROUTES.

Official Says the Average Amount of
Mail on Each Route Should Be Two
Thousand Pieces a Month.
In replying to numerous inquiries
Fourth Assistant Postmaster General
Degraw has indicated the purposes of
the department in connection with an
inspection Of rural free delivery routes
which is in progress with view to
disseminating or reducing the service
of such of them as show little patron
age. In answering the inquiries Mr..
Degraw has replied substantially as
follows:
In discovering that there is a lack
of patronage on given route con-
sideration is given first to the posi-
bility of increasing the interest in the
service on the route; second, to the
possibility of rearranging the route so
as to increase the patronage; third, to
the possibility of establishing every
other day service in lieu of daily SER
vice, and last to its discontinuance
where the conditions are such that the
expenditure is unwarranted.
While no fixed rule as to the amount
of mail which should be handled on
rural route has been adopted, still the
department feels that the average ru-
raj route should handle 5000 pieces of
mail per month, with possible mimi
mum of 1000.
The expenditure involved in operat-
ing the service on a given route might
not be warranted, even though the
minimum of 1000 pieces of mail per
month were handled, where it was
found that considerable number of
the possible patrons we're not availing
themselves of the benefits of the SER
vice.

came to trial and Miss Rescher was

her favor, giving her $4,000 damages.
The case was reported in the local

Miss Rescher has received fortyfour

Some of them gave her more or less

ALLOTMENT OF LAND TO INDIANS
Commission Has Negotiated Neces-
sarY Agreement.

Sary agreement
The final report of the commission
of the five civilized Indian tribes in
Indian Territory, covering the fiscal
year 1905, when the existence OF the
commission officially ended, has been
submitted to the secretary of the in
terror. The report says that the com
mission has accomplished the purpose
for which it was created, though such
things as final allotment of lands to
Mississippi Choctaws and allotment
contest cases must go on for a con-
siderable time.
The commission has negotiated the
agreements necessary to the dissolu-
ton of the tribal governments and the
transfer of land titles from the tribes
as communities to the individual In
dians. The commission experienced
great difficulty in making the rolls alb
solutely correct, owing to the pecul-
iarities of Indian nomenclature, mar
riages with whites, etc. The Choctaw
and Chickasaw nation had 6,217 APP
plicants for enrolment, Cherokee 49,
1854, Creek 20. ITO, and Seminole 3,171.
Out of this total of 1876, 1853 Indians
SO, 295 men enrolled or identified, 49,
522 refused or dismissed. and 1855
applications are still unsettled. Out
of the total 10, 525, $40 acres of land up
to June 30, 1905, there were allotted
II, 754, 347 acres.
