Bonesteel, s. D., April PA
glance at the calendar of the Gregory |
county circuit court, which convened |
for its regular regular term today, Is
sufficient to show that there is
nothing in the popular belief that
the red man is incapable of adopting
the white mans ways. No fewer
than twenty divorce cases are on the
docket in which Indians are the prin-
cipals. This is regarded as a good
record even in South Dakota. 1t is
the first session of the court under
the new law which abolished the In
dian courts and required that all In
dian cases shall be tried by whites
The complaints would indicate
that the Indians apparently have bet
ter reasons for desiring that their
marital bonds be severed than Is Of
tentimes the case with their white
brothers and sisters For instance,
James Ghost Walk wants a divorce
from his wife Bessie Ghost Walk on
the ground that she eloped with
| Walking Soldier. The facts in the
case Ghost Walk expects to prove by
Thomas Two Socks and William
Bear. The complainant also asks
for the custory of his child Mollie
Three Thighs Ghost Walk.
A case in which the wife is the
complainant is that of Alice Good
Muskrat who asks for divorce from
her husband Henry, who is charged
with clipping with Florence Walks as
She Jumps. The plaintiff wants her
maiden name Of Alice High Kicker
frestored.
Another case is entitled Poor Man
Star Boy VS.. Jennie Star Boy. Poor
Man alleges that Jennie ran away
from him four years ago and took
up her abode with an Indian named
, Walking Thunder, with whom she is
now living. Her witnesses in the case
will be Three Dogs, Kicks High and
Three Moons.
Kate Belt, after waiting three
years for Anthony Belt to return, sues
for a divorce and alimony in the
shape of a slice of AnthCny's land
and some of his ponies and blan-
kets. Mule Driver, High Hawk and
Walks over will be the witnesses for
tie plaintiff.
Holy Track wants a divorce from
Never Stampede, who is alleged to
have belied his name by stampeding
with Anna Buffalo Pipe. White Bel
", Three Toes and One Tail are ex-
pected to prove the facts alleged by
Mrs. Holy Track.
One of the most peculiar cases on
the docket is that of Josephine Dog
Soldier who gives most novel rea-
sons for desiring a divorce from her
spouse. She declares that when she
was sick Dog Soldier bought a cof-
fin and made preparations for her
funeral and when she got well Dog
Soldier became very angry. threaten
cd to shoot her. knocked her leg out
of joint and finally drove her away
from home. She expects to prove
these things by Left Handed Thun-
der, Whistling Crow and Rafting
Shield.
Other cases that will be tried be-
fore the term Of court is ended are
those of Picket Pin VS.. Mary Picket
Pin; James Rull Tail VS.. Bear Bull
Tail: Helen Turning Bear VS.. Left
Hand; His Horse Standing VS.. White
Wbirl Wind. and Hail Fast Horse VS..

Keep the Kitchen Cool and Comfort.
able In Midsummer.


Many a housewife is wondering
how she will pass through the COM
ing summer months with the stove
she we'll knows will make the kitch-
en- unbearably hot-to say nothing Of
the dirt, dust and ashes that will
add to the discomfort.
There is a way out of it ala way
that not only lessons the work and
keeps the kitchen cool, but that also
reduces fuel expense. This con-
venience, comfort and economy is all
effected by the New Perfection Wick
Blue Flame Oil cook stove.
Anyone who has had to wait ten
or fifteen minutes for the fire to get
started will appreciate the New Per-
fection, which gives a strong work
ing flame at moment of lighting.
"Rlue Flame" means the hottest and
cleanest flame produced by any stove.
The flame is always under immediate
control and can be raised or lowered
instantly. The convenience of this
will be understood when It is con
sidered that while the flame of one
burner Is boiling the kettle or roast
ing a large joint, that of another can
be reduced to simmering point-in
this way enabling the housewife to
cook variety of dishes at one time.
On washing and ironing days the
comfort and convenience of the New
Perfection will be greatly appreciat-
ed. 1t gives best results in the least
time, and does away with all coal

To-day we want to talk to

edy that we know is right-that we can
back up with all our reputation for hon
esty and square-dealing.
And wouldn't you rather buy that kind
of remedy? Wouldn't you rather hold
us responsible than to hold no one
responsible? We are right here, right
where you can get at us every day in the
week, right where one false move on our
part will bring upon us your conden-
nation, the loss of your friendship, your
patronage, your influence. Can we afford
to tell you anything that you will learn
later is not absolutely true?
Are you not safer in taking Our word
for the merits of an article, than you are
to rely on the printed statement of pa
tent medicine manufacturer. whom you
never even saw and probably never will?
Common sense most emphatically tells
you that we cannot afford to depart one
hairs breadth from the rigid truth.
None of US can deny that there is such
a disease known as "catarrh." Those
who have it, or who have had it, know
that it is one of the hardest diseases to
cure.
Perhaps the worst thing about catarrh
is its prevalence. Almost everyone
especially in a climate like ours-has
catarrh in some form or another. That is
what has made the "catarrh cure" busi-
ness so profitable. There are so many
thousands of cases of the disease and it is
so hard to cure, that the patent medicine
manufacturers have reaped harvest in
preparing remedies that appeal to this
large class of sufferers.
One of the most serious things about
catarrh is that it breaks down the sys-
TEN, so that the sufferer becomes prey
to other diseases. This fact has led the
proprietors of so many "catarrh cures"
to advertise their remedies as a specific
for almost every disease under the sun.
We have ONE catarrh cure that we
are willing to say to you; 1--WE know
this is all right. Take it home and use it
with the full assurance that if it does not
cure you, you can bring it back to us
and we will promptly refund your
money" That catarrh cure is
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1907-04-24

During the past few months we have
been publishing what some OF our good
friends have called "heart-to-heart talks"
on patent medicines.
That name suits us all right-"heart-
to-heart talks" is just what we have
intended. There can't be anything more
serious to sick man or sick woman
than his ailment and the remedies he or
she takes to cure it.
Our talks have been "heart-to-heart."
Every word we have printed has been
written in absolute earnestness and sim
cerity, and judging from what our GUS
toners tell us, we have not been talking
in vain. We are convinced that our
frankness has been appreciated, and that
our suggestions have been welcomed
which naturally encourages US to con-
tinue.
To-day, and perhaps for some time to
come, we want to talk about that big
class of remedies known generally as
"catairh cures"
Broadly speaking these are the patent
medicines that have been the chief tar
gets for the attacks of the Ladies'
Home Journal" "Collier's Weekly" and
other magazines which are waging such
lively warfare against patent medicine
abuses.
AS we have pointed out in previous
talks, it is not our business to pass judg-
ment on the crusade of these we'll
known, highly-respected publications.
The public alone must be the judge and
jury. Our business, as we see it, is to
carry in stock complete line of patent
medicines, and to sell those medicines at
the lowest possible price.
We sell hundreds-yes, thousands of
bottles of so-called "catarrh cures" and
know nothing of their ingredients. The
manufacturers advertise them, the public
demands them; we order them from the
Manufacturers, and sell them at the low
est price. That is absolutely as far as
our knowledge goes. The manufacturer
keeps his formula a secret. 1t may be
good, or it may not-we don't know, and
we have no means of finding out.
Naturally, we would rather sell rem

other disagreeable jobs that have to
be done with other stoves.

A Knitted Waistcoat

The pattern is worked as follows, always be-
ginning with an even number of stitches. The
one given here is worked on 20. Begin by work
ing 20 chain with the dark wool, turn and work
up each chain loop on the needle, turn with I
chain, and work back in the usual way--viz.,
drawing the wool through two loops at time,
until the row is worked off.
Third row. Work up the long loops in front of
the work and back loop together throughout the
row, bringing 20 stitches on the needle Now
take up the light wool, and keep over the fingers
with the dark wool, and work back the stitches
alternately with light and dark wool
Fifth row. Work the same as third, being
very careful to take the back white loops with
green front loop, to leave the two white loops
showing in the front, which forms the little "dot"
OF light in the pattern; work back with dark WOOL
This forms the pattern, and is worked in the
same way throughout.
Some workers, when knitting wastcoats, like
to knit a square, and have it cut to shape by a
tailor But this uses much more wool than the
quantity given.

Women the World Over

Frederick, the German emperors mother. The
American Ambassador had mentioned a certain
pathetic picture of George Ill. to the king :
great-granddaughter and in talking of the long
ended bitter feeling between the United States
and Great Britain he said ut is a remembrance
of mine, now hard to realize, that | was brought
up to abhor the memory of George Ill" At
this the empress smiled and answered-and all
who have known her will imagine the note of
humor in her voice: "That was very unjust, for
| was brought up to adore the memory of Wash
ington."
Duels of various kinds, from the set-to with
fists up to the combat with knives or bows and
arrows, are still undertaken in the interests of
love in sundry places of the earth. The Aluras
fight with their fists, some of the Mexican tribes
use the cold steel and at least North Amer
lean tribe relies upon bow and arrow. Among
the Arabs of upper Egypt the youth who pro-
POSES for a girl must submit to whipping at
the hands of all her male relatives, 'and,' says
dry narrator, "if he wishes to be considered
worth having, he must receive the chastisement,
which is sometimes exceedingly severe, with an
expression of enjoyment" Not infrequently it
is the maiden herself who imposes the test. The
Sakalava girls of Madagascar make their lovers
stand at a short distance from a clever spear
thrower and catch between the arm and side
every weapon thrown at him. If the youth
"dsplays fear or fails to catch the spear he is
ANONYMOUSLY rejected, but if there be no finch
inc, and the spears are caught, he is at once
proclaimed an accepted lover" Worse than this
is the trial imposed upon their suitors by Dun
golowee girls. When in doubt as to the respee'
tive merits of two rivals the young woman fastens
sharp-pointed knife to each elbow, then, seat
ting herself between the lovers, she drives the
blades slowly into their thighs and the hero who
takes the greatest length of steel without mur
mur wins the bride.

There never a time when furs were more
lavishly used than today. They employed
for purposes which formerly were served by
cloths, vevets and various forms of decoration.
Today fur has the call. 1t is variously combined
with one more furs as means of contrast,
therefore women who have but scraps of fur,
half-worn garments, neck pieces muffs, have
had them remodeled into quite stunning de-
signs as shown on the market
FURS HAVE THE CALL
Fur adds richness quite its own to every
| fabric with which it is combned-anything from
real laces and chiffon to cloth of gold, vevets
and brocades.
When a garment is antiquated beyond redemp
tion in its present condition, cut it up and COM
bine it with other furs, vevets or cloths; but,
whatever you do, do not allow it to remain idle;
get your worth of it while you can.

MODELLED

Timely Household Hints

If grease be spilled the hearth do not wash
it. Take up much as you can by rubbing it
with old newspaper, and then rub the mark over
well with piece of dry hearthstone. Brush off
the hearthsone, and, if necessary, repeat the pro-
cess In the meantime the grease will soon utterly
disappear.
For good furniture cream, finely shred an
ounce OF beeswax half an ounce of white wax,
and half an ounce of CASTLE soap. Cover with
half pint OF turpentine, and stand on the stove
in gallipot to dissolve. Next day add quarter
pint of boiling water, stir thoroughly together,
and then put in wide-mouthed bottles for use.
Keep this cream well corked
Perhaps the best dish cloths are made of knit
ted cotton, but excellent ones may be made by
neatly hemming pieces of crash of convenient size.
After using always wash dishcloth with soap
and soda, then rinse it thoroughly and hang in
the air to dry, A dirty dshcloth is disgrace
to housekeeper and there is no excuse for it.,
for it is easily kept clean ii attention is paid
to it.
