Habit.

Habit is one of the worlds con-
trolling influences. More men are
swayed by force of habit, uncon-
sciously perhaps, than any other mo-

things in a certain way grows from
beginnings 50 small as to be scarcely
noticeable until it forms a chain
that can scarcely be broken. The

comes a master, and a more exact

A CONDITION
THAT CALLS
FOR A TONIC
When Run Down and DebiIitated
Try DR.. Williams Pink Pills.
a Tonic That Is Also a
Specific for Many Dis.
orders of the Blood
and Nerves.

When the health is run down from
overwork, overstudy, or from whatever
cause, a good tonic is needed.
But sometimes what is mistaken for
simple debility is a symptom of a more
serious disorder, anRmia perhaps, or a
breaking down of the nervous system.
By taking a tonic that is also specific
for many disorders of the blood and
nerves the threatening disease may be
prevented. That is what was done in
the case of Mrs. Ora Ford of 1908 Wash
ington Boulevard, Chicago, H., who
was undoubtedly in the early stages of
anemia before Dr. Williams Pink Pills
cured her. She says:
Il was completely run down in health
for about year My blood was thin
and poor and l had great deal of
trouble with my stomach and kidneys.
My appetite was poor and / had no
desire for food. What l ate distressed
me. l had always been troubled with
sick headaches which came on as often
as three or four times a week. l also
had dizzy spells, my breath was short
and l frequently hal pains in my side.
had no ambition or desire to do any
thing. / became so pale and thin that
I looked terrible. My friends thought /
was going into consumption.
after l had tried several kinds of
medicine that did me no good whatever
| read of DR.. Williams Pink Pills in a
newspaper and decided to give them a
trial. 1 began picking up little after
taking about two boxes Of the pills and
noticed that l was getting an appetite.
I gradually got stronger. the dizzy spells
left and my color came back. The
headaches ceased to be so frequent or 50
severe. l can recommend Dr. Williams
Pink Pills for troubles due to poor and

DETERMINED TO GET OUT
Train Robber Oliver Curtiss Perry
Desperate in His Desire
for Freedom

New York, Oct. 2s-Efforts which are
being made by a few of his steadfast
friends to have the sentence Of Oliver
Curtiss Perry committed have revealed
the fact that for four years the dar
ing criminal who in 1892 startled the en-
tire country with the holiness of his
train robbing exploits has not eaten
particle of food or worn a stitch of outer
clothing except a togo. Since Nov. 10,
1903, he has received nourishment through
a tube. not because it is necessary. but
simply because he was determined to die
rather than eat the regular prison fare.
Perry declares he will never take q bite
of food so long as he is in Dannemora
hospital. Perry claims that he is not
insane and that he will prove it by eat
ing again and wearing clothing If given
his freedom. He says he wants to go to
some quiet spot and lead a respectable
life for the remainder of his days. The
man is blind. having himself. ruined his
eyesight III the hope that he would bring
his relatives to his aid. They deserted
him years ago.

Un in Smoke.

Butte, Mont, Oct. 2S.-The immense pa
vilion at Columbia Gardens, Butte's chief
pleasure grounds, about three miles from
the city, burned to the ground at an early
hour this morning. The building con-
tanned a large dancing floor, cafe and
several valuable collections, one of which
represented the evolution of firearms
from earliest history, and upon the value
of which its owner can place no estimate,
as the collection can never be replaced.
Another extensive collection was that of
minerals and smelling products from the
different properties of ex-senator W. A.
Clark. Columbia Gardens are owned by
Mr.. Clark, and are maintained at his ex-
pense fer use of the public. The total
loss Of building and contents Is estimated
at between $4,000 and $4,000 with fnsur-
ance of $1,000. The fire is supposed to
have been of incendarY origin.

IMPOSSIBLE TO KEEP OPEN
PROCLAMATION ISSUED BY ACT
a ING GOVERNOR.

Oklahoma City, o. T.. Oct 2S-On de-
mand of the bankers of the territory.
Acting Governor Fiison has issued a pro-
clamation closing the banks of the ter
ritory for a week The action was ia
ken because the hanks of Kansas CITY
and St Louis refused to forward cash
TO the banks of the southwest 1t is
said that a consultation of the bankers
of Oklahoma. Indian Territory. Arkansas
and northern Texas. by means OF teie-
phone took place during the early hours
this morning and all have taken q SINH
lar action. There had been no unea siness
in this city and the bankers say the
deposits last week were greater than at
any previous week in the month.
The closing IS for the purpose of pro-
tecting the banks in case of a run. Since
the banks here could not get cash from
Kansas City in case of a run, they con-
sidered the risk too great.
The BANKS of this city are carrying
many of the small banks over this ter
ritory
They have arranged to issue clearing
house certificates to carry them until con-
ditiOns have improved.
The banks of the southwest are further
embarrassed because of the demand for
cash to move the cotton crop.
1t was necessary to get cash from the
east TO meet the demands. The refusal
of those banks TO forward cash caused
the banks to taae radical steps to pro-
tect themselves.

Of Oklahoma, that all of the leading cit

apparently unable to control. and by such
concerted action are refusing to snip
currency to country banks which have de-
posits with them or to honor the bills
of lading drawn upon the banks of such,
or to pay checks of customers over the

committed murder in a lonely section OF

Mary Armstrong and Jack Harper were
placed under arrest by officers connected
with the sheriffs office In this city to-
day. and George Harper was captured at
Fort Lupton by the marshal of that town
on telephone orders from Sheriff Nisbet.
Nine years ago Ezra Penney and his
son George disappeared in Willard cOun-
~. Utah. George Harper and Mrs. Arm
strong were arrested at that time, charged
with the killing Of the two men, but were
released because the bodies could not be
found.
Last week two skeletons were diseov-
cred IN the Frisco hills. Miss Emma
Penney, daughter of the elder Penney, of
Salt Lake and her brother identified one
of the skeletons as that OF her father.
The Identification was made through
