party of friends south Of the Yellow

was successful on the hunt in shooting
large elk, the first one to be secured

in Norfolk and will be mounted by
Sessions & Bell. The teeth are pro

was one of small herd. He was shot
three times, the first time in the neck

Asa K Leonard, returning homo
from a hunting trip out in the country
last evening, drove into an uncovered
sewer ditch near Eleventh street and
Norfol kavenue. 1t is said that there
were no lights to indicate the pres
ence ofythe trench. Mr.. Leonard was
driving two horses to a light buggy
and both horses became entangled in
the sewer trench. One of the horses
was extracted from the trench with
out difficulty but the second animal
had to be literally hoisted out of the
hole. One of the horses suffered a
sprained shoulder but otherwise the
accident, which might have been a Sc
rious mishap to a carriage full of wo-
men and children, brought no serious
results. The accident occurred about
p. m, just after Mr.. Leonard had
driven w. J. Stadelman, his companion
on the afternoons bunting trip, to the
latter's home.

SIMPLE HONE RECIPE
PREPARE THIS SIMPLE RECIPE
AT HOME AND TRY IT.

Druggists Here In Town Say They Can
Supply the Ingredients or Make up
the Mixture-Presoriptio Of an EN-
inent Authority.
Get from any prescription pharma-
cist the following:
Fluid extract dandclion, one.halt
ounce; compound kargou, one ounce;
compound syrup sarsaparilla, thrce
ounces.
Shake we'll in bottle and take n
tcaspoonful dose after each meal and
at bedtime.
The above is considered by an emil
nent authority, who writes in a New
York daily paper, as the finest pre-
scription ever written to relieve back
ache, kidney trouble, weak bladder
and all forms of urinary difficulties.
This mixture acts promptly on tho
climlnative tissues of the kidneys, en-
abling them to filter and strain tho
uric acid and other waste matter from
the blood which causes rheumatism.
Some persons who suffer with the
Affections may not feel inclined to
place much confidence in this simple
mixture, yet those who have tried it
say the results are simply surprising,
the relief being effected without tho
slightest injury to the stomach or 9TH
er organs.
Mix some and give 1t trial. It
certainly comes highly recommended.
1t is the prescription of an eminent au-
thority, whose entire reputation, 1t Is
said was established by 1t.
A druggist here at home when
asked stated that he could either sup
ply the ingredients or mix the pre-
scription for our readers, also recon-
mends it as harmless.

1t is probable that physicians fees
in Norfolk will go up within a day or
two, An agreement to this effect has
been signed by nearly all of the pro-
fesson in the city and 1t is said that
all will likely agree to the advance in
fees. From 81, the fee for town Wis

Cause for the advance is assigned by
the physicians to the increased cost
of living. The new fees will become
operative as soon as all of the profess

pointed out that physicians fees are
where they were twenty years ago,
while the cost of commodities has gen.
orally increased. 1t is also pointed out
that fees in all small towns are higher

Our Political Experiment Station

Oklahoma has been duly admitted to

BILE circumstances. Granted the oppor-
tunity for statehood under Republican
auspices by a republican congress, ana
with the existing republican national
administration doing its best to have
its appointee continued as governor,
the people of Oklahoma went directly
the other way and voted the demOcra-
tic ticket with great enthusiasm and
unanimity
We have been accustomed to think
of constitutions as comparatively brIei
statements of the principles which
should rule the conuuct of the govern
ment established through them. Many

Present Season Splendid Time Tor
Citizens to- Improve Their Homes
by Planting shade Trees and Fruit



This is tree planting season, s2Io
a prominent Charlotte man yesterday
If only the people Of Charlotte

The speakers words were appropri-

them much of weight and truth.
Every one admits and sees clearly

which have been planted in the years
gone by, by others and which have
now attained full maturity. being i'll
the prime of their strength. It would
be hard to imagine that dreary, sun

would be, had not the fore
sight and thoughtfulness of some
one made provision for the future and
brought into being the array of trees
whose presence is guarantee OF
shade in summer where one may find
refuge from old Soils burning rays.
But comparatively few people take
| the forethought to beautify their own
homes in this way.
Charlotte is known as "the city OF
homes" as we'll as the city OF
churches" and the number of these
homes IS increasing every day. In
| the suburbs, especially, uninhabited
| blocks of land are undergoing the
transformation into places of resi-
dence. If these have not the added
| assets of shade trees and fruit trees,
| they will never have them until some
| body takes the initial step and plants
| them. The sooner this is done, the
sooner will the result be obtained
Not only sentimentaliy, but actually
financially and from considerations OF

feeling that one has in his backyard
