He Again Tells President Indians Were
 Unfairly Treated.

Guthrie, Okla., Nov. ?. = Governor Charles N. Haskell addressed letter to President Roosevelt involving the renewal of the oil lease on the Osage tribal lands. The letter in part fol. lows:
 "Oet. 9 the acting secretary of the interior, writing as he stated on ac- count of your having referred my let ter to him, his explanation was that you had nothing to do with the lease except fixing the compensation that the landowners were to receive. l was not satisfied with the answer be- cause that was the very thing we ob- jected to-namely. the grossly made quate compensation to the landowners, which was the real complaint.
 "Your secretary of state says am insolent. Mr. President, if honest ad- herence to my duties is insolence, then let it be insolence, but that absurd statement from your secretary of state will not be accepted as substitute for $15,0OO,00O or S2O,00O,Oo1 due to the Osage Indians"

PRESIDENTS PROCLAMATION.
Hs Fixes . Day of Thanksgiving and .@ Tells Why,

Washington, Nov. 2-In his Thanks giving proclamation fixing Nov. 26 as the day President Roosevelt says.
 Nowhere else in the world is the average of individual comfort and material wellbeing as high as in our fortunate land.
 For the very reason that in ms terial wellbeing we have thus abound ed we owe it to the Almighty to show equal progress in moral and spir- itual things. With nation, as, with individuals who make up a nation, ma terial wellbeing is an indispensable foundation. But the foundation avails nothing by itself: ,
 That life is wasted and worse than wasted, which is spent in piling, heap upon heap, those things which minis ter merely to the pleasure of the body and to the power that rests only on wealth. Upon material wellbeing as a foundation must be raised the struc- ture of the lofty life of the spirit if this nation is properly to fulfill its great mission and to accomplish all that we so ardently hope and desire"

 New York, Nov. 2.-The New York and New Jersey interstate bridge com missions have decided to take offices at 115 Broadway.
 A letter was read from President Butler of Columbia university pro testing against the fixing of the New York terminal of the proposed bridge at or near West One Hundred and Six teenth street.
 Dr. Butler says in his protes. that nearly twenty years ago "Morningside heights was chosen as the site on which some of the noblest and most important institutions of the city of New York and of America were to make their permanent home." The total investment of educational. re- ligious and philanthropic institutions there. he says, reaches nearly $30, ,000.- GOO. and he ventures to suggest that 1t would be little short of vandalism to make any portion of the territory so developed and occupied the termi- nal of an interstate bridge"

Deafness Cannot Be cured

reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf

remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inaamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inaamed you have
a rumbling sound or imperfect hear

deafness is the result and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed for.
