MRS. LAUTERBACH IN CITY.
Wife of Lawyer Distinguished for
Social and Intellectual Qualities.

Wife of Lawyer Distinguished for
Social and Intellectual Qualities.
A visitor to Washington is Mrs. Ed
ward Lauterbach. of New York. wife of
the distinguished lawyer who is at the
New Willard.
Mrs. Lauterbach is so thoroughly cul-
tured in social ways that on first meet
ing her one is tempted to think Of her
merely as a delightful woman of society
It is only upon more intimate association
that the new acquaintance learns the
depths of true womanly character under
lying the beautifully polished surface of
outward culture.
When the fineness of feeling and the
strength of character are known, it is
not regarded as surprising that all the
doors of society from the circle that
rises and falls with the variant waves
of the sea of politics to that which is
securely founded upon the rock of old
Washington, should have opened TO well
come a guest who represents not only
the beauty and grace of xC.uisite cul-
tuIe. but the stronger characteristics of
intellect and of sympathy with humanity.
In a twO-page illustrated article, the
New York Times said;
Mrs LauterbaCh. a friend Of many friends pos
sesses personality that IS wonderfully refreshing
She vas educated ia Paris She IS a skilled mus
clan, and has made her well-usined voice serve TO
the advantage Of the charities in which is in
terested
She is one Of those rare women who can be beau
tiful and youthful and wealthy and still work hard
for those who are beneath the wheel Of fortune.
Through her indefatigahe efforts she has helped SC.
cure the passage Of several phianthropc laws such
as the mercantile bill, the new Tombs, the public
school BILL the prison bin. and the anti-swesters'
bin regulating benefcially the employment Of GER
tain industrial clases.
These are but a few Of the many bene-
fits for which humanity is indebted 10
this earnest worker, who graces strong.
brave character with the manner of the
highly cultivated woman Of the world.

Looks Like Something Was Going
to Be Done at GAINESVILLE.

With the possible exception that the
core drills are revealing oceans of the
finest coal yet discovered in the Missis-
sippi valley, the best news that has
come to this town in many long day
was when Mr.. w. d. Althouse, manager
for the Keystone Oil and Gas Co.,
sent one of orr leading contractors and
builders plans and specifications for
20 single and 20 double houses to be
erected in, or in the vicinity of this city.
o. r. Balm, our local saw mill man also
received a letter from Mr.. Althouse
asking prices on native dimension ma
terial for the above mentioned houses.
Mr.. Althouse will probably submit the
estimates to the company for approval
before taking definite action in the
matter. 1t is not likely that the con-
tracts will be let until MIR. Althouse
comes out which, it is expected, will be
in short time possibly this month.
This is important as it proves that
the company is satisfied with the area
Of the coal field, and intends to open up
mines and operate them. The location
Of the houses is problematical and it
may be that it has not yet been settled
by the company. 1t is reasonably GER
tain that the shaft will not be far from
these buildings and the selection of a
site for them will be awaited with great
interest.
r. f. Hart & Co., of Coffeyville, Kas.,
who have block of about $500 acres
under lease near this city, are expected
about the first of the year. While here
they will pay the owners of the lands
they have leased the 10c per acre call
ed for in the leases for failure to be-
gin prospecting in the specified time.
This will amount to about $3.50. If the
conclusions of the biologists are cor
rect, the Hart boys were either very
shrewd or fortunate in the selection of
location for block, as their holdings
are on line with the we'll now being
drilled near the Murphy school house.
They are also close in, their line be-
ing about q miles southwest of this
! city. 1t is not known just when they
will begin developing their property,
but the chances are that they will wait
Murphy we'll are known.
The core drilling goes right on and SO
accustomed have our people become in
hearing of the exceedingly rich coal
finds, that vein of less than four or
| i've lScU OO6S uOU cAClUC U. OK
Bros, who are drilling mile or two
southwest Of town, are completing their
second hole, and have contract for
two more.
W. H. Brown is completing the first
hole of his contract and will drill an
other one. He also has the contract
for cleaning out core hole Mol, drilled
by A. G. West & Son. This hole is only
410feet deep, and it is thought that it
is the purpose of the company to sink
this hole to the 500 foot level where the
largest and best deposits have been
found.
The absolute certainty that the com
pany is satisfied with the area of the
coal field as evidenced by the two let
tiers above noted have caused our PEG.
pie to sit up and take notice of the
things that are going on. Trade is
quite brisk in land, and business lots
have been changing hands in lively
manner. Watch us. GAINESVILLE News

FEW HERE KNOW THIS.
Shake the ingredients Well in the
Bottle and Take a TedspOonfuI
Dose After Meals.

Few people here know that you can
cure that dread American disease, rheu-
matism, with just common, everyday
drugs found in any drug store. The
prescription is so simple that any one
can prepare it at home at small cost.
1t is made up as follows: Get from any
good prescription pharmacy, Fluid Ex-
tract Dandelion, one-half ounce; Com
pound Kargon, one ounce; Compound
Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Mix
by shaking in bottle and take in tea
spoonful doses after each meal and at
bedtime. These are all simple ingred-
tents, making an absolutely harmless
home remedy at little cost.
Rheumatism, as everyone knows, is a
symptom of deranged kidneys. 1t is a
condition produced by the failure of the
kidneys to properly filter or strain from
the blood the uric acid and other mat
ter, which, if not eradicated, either in
the urine or through the skin pores, re-
mains in the blood, decomposes and
forms about the joints and muscles
causing the untold suffering and de-
formity of rheumatism.
This prescription is said to be a
splendid healing, cleansing and invig.
Grating tonic to the kidneys, and gives
almost immediate relief in all forms Of
bladder and urinary troubles and back.

Which of us does not know it by

hearse it. Know then that when the
valiant Greeks had swept the field of
Marathon their first thought was to
get the news home. They sought a
fleet courier and found him in the
person of warrior who had fought
all day against the invading Persians
and who was even then painting from
his exertions. This one was only too
proud to be chosen messenger. In
deed, who would not be? And at the
word he was off, only disincumbering

great run was made with but one

 New York, June 26.-BradstreetS 10"
 Trade this week has taken on most of the characteristics Of the midsum- mer period. Retail business has been helped by warm weather in most sec tions and by widespread reductions in sales. Johbing houses have received moderate filling orders and made tha usual clearance sales.
 Fall buying has been and is eau ttous, but feeling Is conservatively op- timistic. Such lines as leather. staple w6rsted wools, agricultural implements and few lines of steel products are more active, but the great industries as whole are below normal activity and summer shut downs promise to be more widely indulged in than for some years past. Shoe shipments since Jan uary 1 from eastern .ceuters are the smallest reported for seventeen years past. Shoe shipments since January 1 from eastern centers are the smallest reported for seventeen years past. The preparations for crop moving and car repair material is being more freely. Coal and lumber are quiet but coke is quite active, A slight decrea3e in the number of idle in the building trades is reported. Labor Is stili plentiful and cheap.
