OIL MEMS MAD SCRAMBLE
TO SECURE AN OIL LEASE IN
CHEROKEE NATION THEY
RUSH TO CUBA.

Muskogec. l. r., Nov 9.-In a.
frce-for-all race across the continent
went four noted oil men from Indian
Territory and into the wilds OF Cuba
in an effort to secure an oil lease
on forty.acre allotment In the
Cherokee nation. Each man started
about the same time, but neither one
knew he other was after the land
Th contestants in the case were
George Irwin and c. B. Hainey OF
this city. Bud Ieady OF Nowata and
W. H. Whitford OF Independence.
Kas.. The course included several
miles OF railway travel, passage
across the Gulf of Mexico. another
railway across the smiling Cuban
isle and then a plunge into the
tropical jungles. Whitiord was the
last man to start. but by fine
maneuver he won the prize.
Edward r. Newcone Is full
blood Dclaware.Cherokee Indian and
is private in the Eleventh reg
ular United States cavalry. which
is at present stationed in Cuba.
lie is the possessor Of a fortyacre
tract of land In the Cherokee ma
tion which Is considered one OF
the greatest oil fields in the world.
For some time oil men have been
searching for Newcone. the owner of
the land, the value OF which Is great.
His whereabouts was discovered by
the four oil men about the same
time. Bud Heady of Nowata left
for Cuba at once and reached there
several days ahead of the other
contestants He congratulated him
self on the way that he had gotten
ahead OF the other oil men and
started In to find the Indian. lie
found him and had about finished
the deal when the Indian received
a cablcgram from Irwin stating that
he was on the way and not to close
with anyone as he had extra in
duccments to oficr. About this time
Heady and. his arguments arrived on
the scene. Between the three crack
oil men the indian was kept in a
maze in their efforts to make a deal
themselves anl to Illustrate the
deal of the other fellow.
Now comes Whitford on the scene.
with his wife, who Is an adept en-
tertaincr. he succeeded in getting the
full.blood mother OF the boy to
accompany them to Cuba. That the
oil mans wife made good with her
part OF the transaction is evidenced
by the fact that Immediately upon
the arrival on the ground of Whit
ford the lease on the forty acres
was secured for his company and
the entire party returned on the
same boat for the United States.
Aside from the sl25 per acre which
was paid for the lease royalty
OF per cent was paid on all oil
taken from the ground. The forty
acres Is estimated to be worth $40,
900 yet the owner is content tc
draw the salary OF IA private in
the army OF Uncle Sam.

in CONSTIPATION

People who have tendency to consti.
patton, or actually have chronic consti.
patton, will give q good deal to know
how to cure il. Yet the method Is q
simple one and not at all expensive.
However, il is almost as important to
know what not to do as what to do. Do
not attempt to cure constipation by .
sudden movement of the bowels secured
through salts. purgativs waters or ca
thartic pills or powders, because II can't
be done in that way. One swallow does
not make q summer, and one movement
OF the bowels does not cure constipation.
II may clean out the bowels and give
momentAry relief, but the bowels vill soon re-
lapse TO their old state Of congestion and you
viii have constipation OF Q more obstinate form
than before owing to reaction.
BY all odds tho beat way 70 cure constipation
u BY the use of DIR. Caldwelrs Syrup Pepsin IN
the dose suited 70 chronic constipation and
which ia described in full on each bottle In this
way the cure Is brought about scientifically. and
the result Is permanent. It Is Q gentle but efec-
tive laxative, pleasant TO the taste and 80 sure In
results that every bottle is guaranteed. II you
want 10 cure constipation so that it will stay
cured try this wonderful herb laxative COM
pound.
After m experience OF ave years of medicine
taking To cure constipation, In which almost
every known remedy and method was tried.
MIS- Knight, OF Bellview. Tenn, is unhesitattng
In her assertion that the only way TO cure con.
ssipation Is with DR. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin.
II cured her and IL will cure you.
IL Is sold In 50 cent and VI bottles and can be
obtained at any drug store. Every bottle 10

CRAVING FOR DRINK DESTROYED

The best aid to temperance is
something that will strengthen the
drunkard's wrecked nervous system
and cure his unnatural craving for
drink. We believe that any man who
really desires to be cured of the liquor
habit can cure himself by using Or
rIne. This remarkable discovery has
made so many cures among our Gus
toners that We are glad TO sell IL un-
der an absolute guarantee to refund
the money il it does not cure.
II is in two forms; No. that can
be given secretly, and No. for tbose
who wish 10 be cured. Il is not only
the most reliable treatment known.
but It Is also the most economical as
II cos's only 81 box and there Is no
detention from the usual duties. while
II cure is not affected, there is no ex
pense whatever. Mail orders filed.
