Dawson Drug Co. Gives News Read
ers a Chance to Try 1t.
Druggists do not often guarantee
anything.
But the Dawson Drug Co. and
Peoples Drug Store assure persons
suffering from distressing indigestion
that they can surely be relieved.
Since nobody knows when people
have suffered from indigestion, sick
headaches, bloating, dizzy spells, dis
tress after eating, sleeplessness and
many other symptoms Of stomach
trouble and have found the usual
remedies powerless.
At last a prescription called MILO
ma stomach tablets is offered to the
medical profession and general pub
lie as a final solution of curing stom-
ach and intestinal troubles. Its sue
cess everywhere has made it, in the
last few years, the acknowledged
specific it is today.
Strengthen the whole digestive
system with Mona and you will
soon find that the stomach and bow
els do their work as they should.
There will be no distress after eat
ing, and no need of physic.
The Dawosn Drug Co. and Peo-
pies Drug Store have so much faith
in the power of Mona to cure StOm-
ach ills that they give a guarantee
with every 50-cent box to refund the
money if the remedy fails to cure.

financial trouble in our currency

the other fellow with his big stick

then jumps up and down upon the
grave and challenges everybody to
come on. He seems TO forget that
he is leader of this country and

In the United States senate every
third man is q millionaire; III the
house of representatives one man III
every twenty-seyen is reckoned worth
q million or more dollars. To be eA-
plicit the senate has thirty-two mil
Iionaires and the house fourteen.
It is a good deal easier to say TINS
man or that is a millionaire than II
is to substantiate the statement
Men of riches are not given to put
ting forth appraisements OF thelr
financial worth. The man with a
hundred thousand dollars often
makes more display than the man
worth hundred times as much.
When a mans fortune is ten mill
lions or more it is impossible to ac-
curately gauge it, That much
wealth in certain lines of invest
ment, might well shrink or swell a
million dollars over night
The forty-six men named in the
ACCOMMODATING list are generally ac-
cepted by their colleagues in con-
gress as millionaires. The estimates
placed upon their wealth are based
uDOn information secured from mem
bers of their own state delegations
and from other reasonably trust
worthy sources. Some of the for
tunes set opposite their names may
be too high; others may be too low.
But the figures approximate correct
ness.
Many Are Near-MilliOnaires.
There may be other millionaires
in congress, but If there are they
have succeeded in suppressing gen
eraI knowledge of the fact that they
have crossed the line which is ac-
cepted as marking the beginning of
DIutocracy. There are any number
of men known to be very wealthy
who have not been set down as mil
lionaires. For instance, Vice-Presi-
dent Fairbanks is often referred to
as a millionaire but best obtainable
information places his fortune at be-
tween 100000 and $750,000. Chas.
A. Culberson of Texas, the demo-
cratic leader in the senate, is another
whom common report has placed in
the millionaire class. Senator Gull
berson is a rich man, but his friends
declare that to write him down a
millionaire is to eXaggerate his
wealth. Senators Brandegee of Con-
necticut, Overman of North Carroll

TEDDY DRINKS COCKTAILS
Dv. Swallow Warns the Prohibitions
lists to BE on Guard Against
the Big Stick.

Rev. Dr. Silas c. Swallow OF
Philadelphia, one of the prohibition
leaders of the country, expresses his
fear of Roosevelt. He thinks things
are running the way of the prohibit
tionists now, and that if Roosevelt
can only be eliminated from the cal
culations everything will be lovely.
But Roosevelt. he says, has way OF
drinking cocktail when he wants to
do so that is not short of demoraliz-
ing. and if he were to be again elect
ed president he would be apt to veto
any prohibition measure that might
be passed by congress. That ought
to be sufficient to place the prohi0i-
tionists on guard against the man

BLACK STIGMA is REMOVED
SPENDS FORTUNE PROVING HIS
DAUGHTER OF WHITE BLOOD.
The Famous Case of Polly Hall, of
Portuguese Descent, at an End.
Sued School Board.


A Muscogee, Okla, dispatch says
that, through the action of the dis
trict court of Okmulgee, Polly Hall,
daughter of Wesley Hall, has been
proven innocent of any faint of ne
gro blood and a fine of 81 and costs
has been assessed against the school
board of Sonora district because they
caused Polly to be expelled from
school on account of charge that
she had negro blood. Not in the
history of the state has there been
a case of similar interest except that
of the Arnolds of the Choctaw ma
ton, who spent thousands of dollars
and swept three states for witnesses
to prove that they were Indians and
not of negro blood.
Wesley Hall is a respectable farm
er. and lived in the Sonora district
near Okmulgee. He had been there
for a number of years. He is very
dark in complexion and so is his
daughter, Polly. But during their
residence in Okmulgee county they
have always associated with the
white people, Polly has attended the
white school and been received at
all the neighbOrhood functions ana
is a charming girl.
When the jim Crow law passed
the state legislature the question OF
negro and white blood was sharply
drawn in many places throughout
the state, particularly IN cases
where there was a question whether
a dark skin denoted negro or Indian
blood. The Indian takes rank with
a white person everywhere put Il
there is a drop of negro blood in the
veins of an Indian the ban falls upOT
him. The Halls claim no lndlal
blood. and therefore suspicion fel
uDon them. and the question OF the
blood of Polly Hall became the burn
ing issue under discussion in Sonora
district Acting under singing crlu
cism the members of the schoo
board sent a note to the teacher o
the school calling attention to IN
fact that il was reported in tn
ueighbornood that the Halls were o
negro extraction and that Polly Hal

more. She was notified not to come
The singing disgrace OF this &C
ton was so keen that Mr. Hall state
that they could no longer live IN ina
section. and they moved to anothe
locality and brought suit in tn
name of Polly Hall for $4,000 dam
ages against the Sonora school bo boar;

court at Okmulgee, and after tris

as it was not the money that the

THAT SPECIAL SESSION"
Legislature Was Held Over the Rail-
roads as a BOgy Man.


An Atlanta dispatch says that all
the recent rumors about a special
session of the legislature during the
spring was nothing but a piece of
politics. 1t is said that no such SEES
sion was ever seriously considered,
but that the probability OF one be
ing called was held over the heads
of the railroads to induce them to
come to terms with the administra-
ton. The Southern came in, but the
Central is still holding out, and de-
