Rheumatic Folks.
Are You Sure Your Kidneys are
Well


Many rheumatic attacks are due to
uric acid In the blood. But the duty
of the kidneys Is to remove all uric
acid from the blood. It's presence
there shows the kidneys are Inactive.
Don't daily with "uric acid solvents. +"
You might go on until doomsday
with them, but until you cure the
kidneys you will never get we'll.
Doan's Kidney Pills not only remove
uric acid, but cure the kidneys and
then all danger from uric acid is
ended.

ployed at The State Publishing Co.,

FENon PosTs MADE pURABIE.
Woods Given 16 Years Service by
Preservatiye Treatment.

Fence posts of many kinds OF cheap
woods which ordinarily would soon
decay if set In the ground can be
made to last for 90 years by a simple
treatment With creosote. Most of the
6so-called inferior" woods are we'll
adapted to the treatment. and this is
especially true of cottonwood, aspen,
willow. svcamore. lnw-grade pines,
acl some of the gums. When pro-
J perlyi treated these woods out-last
auntreated cedar and oak. which are
becoming too scarce and too much in
! demand for other uses to allow of
their meeting the demands for fence
!. posts.
u Impregnation with creosote has
\ been greatly cheapened by the intro
duction of the "open tank, which
can be installed at cost of from
Z $50 to $45, or much less IL AN old
/, boiler is used. A tank with a bot
tom twelve feet square In area will
suffice for treating forty or fifty six
inch posts a day, or double this num-
ber when two runs per day can be
made. The absorption of creosote
per post is about as follows: Euca-
lyptus, one-tenth gallon; willow,
s two-tenths gallon; sassafras, ash,
hickory, red oak, water oak, elm and
maple, four-tenths gallon; Douglas
flr, quaking aspen and black walnut,
six-tenths gallon; sycamore, cotton
wood and lodgepole pine, seven
tenths gallon. The price of creosote
Is about ten cents per gallon in the
East and Middle West, sixteen cents
per gallon on the Pacific coast, and
4 twenty-seyen cents per gallon in the
Rocky Mountain States. The cost Of
treating a post will, therefore, vary
from four to fifteen cents properly
treated, 1t should give service for at
least twenty years.
Experiments of the forest service
show that with preservative treat
ment the durability of lodgepole
pine in Idaho has increased sixteen
years. The cost of creosote Is there
relatively high, yet by treating posts
there Is a saving, with interest at 6
/, per cent, of two cents per post yearly.
More important than the saving,
however, is the fact that through
preservative treatment other woods
are fitted to take the place of cedar
of which the supply is RAPIDLY becom-
ing exhausted.
A detailed description Of expert
mepts in preserving fence posts, to-
gether with practical suggestions
for treating them on commercial
scale, are contained in Circular LII
of the forest service. This publica-
tion can be obtained upon aDplica-
ltion to the forester at Washington.

EUROPEAN FOREST RESERVE
ENDORSED BY SENATOR

London, Aug. 14.-United States
Senator Reed Smoot, Chairman of
the commission appointed by the
President to look into means for the
conservation of the National forests,
has just arrived in London after a
tour, of inspection of the European
forests.
He is convinced by what he has
seen that the general principles of
Continental scientific forestry may
be successfully applied to the United
States, although the character of the
West demands some modification in
them
Senator Smoot considers the forest
of Silwald, owned and managed by
the City of Zurich, the most care
fully developed in the world. Such
forests cost more per acre to take
care of, but yield a greater net gain
because there are arrangements for
the utilization of all possible pro-
ducts. Under the direction of the
Municipal Government saWmills,
planning mills, and excelsior ana
tooI-handle factories are rum
At Munich the Senator examined
the experimental forest of the UNI.
versity, directed by Prof. Mayer
Mr.. Smoot considers that what he OBJ
served being done in the Black For
est would be of the greatest benefit
in the United States Years ago the
Black Forest was being destroyed Il
has now been greatly built up by the
rigorous care of the German authori-
ties. Every tree is numbered, and
stock is taken each year.
In Mr. Shoots opinion the same
thing is imperatively necessary to
saev the $4,000. 900 acres of forest
reserve in the United States at the
present time He says the commits
sion he heads will probably advise an
increase in the Unite States Fores-
try Department to that end,

Snake Swallowed Iron Frog.

HARRISBURG, PA, Aug. IA
(SpeciaD-John Wax, residing on a
farm adjoining Newport, Perry coun-
ty, had a large cast-iron metal frog,
weighing four pounds, painted green
which he used in his house to hold the
door open. Monday the frog disap-
peared and he chastised his grandson
for throwing it in the we'll, which the
little fellow Indignantly denied.
Yesterday James Bistline, the Re-
publican boss of Oliver township, was
blowing in a field adjacent to Wax
farm, when he discovered a black
snake, feet long, alongside the
fence.
He killed the snake with a jockey
stick. and noticing it to be abnormal
about the body, held post-mortem
resulting in finding two half-grown
rabbits and Mr. Wax's cast-iron frog

LAND GRAB SCANDAL
IN OKLAHOMA
High Officials Win be Pro-
Ceeded Against.

Washington, D. O., Aug. 14.-(Spe-
cial) baby State of Oklahoma
seems likely to signalize its cradle
days with an unsavory land-grab
scandal. Men in high position are
involved in a situation which already
has stirred up bitter fractional strife
in the old Indian Territory, and which
in the course of a short time, may
arouse more attention on the part of
the rest of the country.
Assistant Attorney General Char
les w. Russell returned today from
a protraeted visit to Oklahoma,
where he has been engaged in ar
ranging the governments side in
cases, embracing some four thou
sand defendants, whose title to lands
formerly belonging to the five civiliz-
ed tribes is in dispute. Thus far
few criminal suits, unearthed by the
federal authorities, have been turned
over to the state authorities for pros
ecution under the laws of Oklahoma
While the great bulk of the cases
involved have not been based on al
legged criminal action, the land-grab
feature, cloaked by the asserted tech
nical protection of the law, plays a
part not at all harmonious with the
present day ethics of dealing with af-
fairs affecting the public domain and
the public interest

All the Chiefs Arrested


General Sherman promptly ordered
the arrest of Satanta and the chiefs
with him at the massacre, and in
structed the Fort Sill commandant
that they should be returned to Texas
for trial on charges of murder.
The trial occurred in the old Court
house at Jacksboro in the summer
of 1871 Only Satanic and Big Tree
were tried Lone Wolf had satisfac-
torily explained his connection with
the Salt Creek fight. Satank was also
arrested and was being transported
to Texas with the others. All were
in irons AS the cavalcade passed
near the scene of the massacre on
Salt Creek, Satank slipped off his
irons and Selling a gun made ready
to fight. He was instantly shot to
death by soldiers.
Samuel wv. t. Lanham, afterwards
governor of Texas, was at that time
the prosecuting attorney of Parker
County, and it fell to him to repre-
sent the state against the Indian
chief
Of the Kiowa chiefs who figured in
those days, Lone Wolf, the senior, is
the only one still living. Lone Wolf,
the junior, known as William Lone
Wolf, is a far different man. A Car
Isle graduate, Christian minister, he
breaches peace and eontentment at
all times. He is now second chief
of the Kiowas and one of the most
respected Indians in the Southwest.

TOO MANY LIBATRONS
$3.50
MADE HIM GENEROUS

New York, Aug. 14.-(SpeciaD-
Morris jacobson found business dull
yesterday, so he made frequent ex-
cursions from his clothing and hab-
erdashery shop on Morris avenue, to
neighboring cafe. Gradual he
forgot the troubles of business, until
at o'clock he eXuded good will and
charity from every pore.
He hurried back to the shop, threw
open the door, and made it known to
the neighborhood that he wasn't going
to sell any more goods, but was go
ing to give them away For the next
few minutes Jacobson was kept busy
filling orders. He grew happier with
each artncle he gave away, and pre-
sently he sang.
BY this time a crowd of nearly 500
persons had gathered about the shop.
Policeman Brick of the Alexander
Avenue Station caught on to what
Jacobson was doing, and. to save
the man from himself, arrested him
on charge of intoxication.
At the Police station they put JAG
OLSON in the back room instead of a
hard cell, for fear of the consequence
es when jacobson should realize what
he had done.

Silver Quoted at Bottom.

NEW YORK, Aug. 14.-(SpeciaD -
The price of bar silver in New York
market recently dropped three-eighths
of |. cent per fine ounce, to 81 &c, fol-
lowing a corresponding decline in
London, which put the metal at the
lowest quotation since 1903 In that
year silver old on April 23 at 515sc
per fine ounce here.
The decline in silver set in last
year, and last spring low prices for
the movement were made, from which
there have since been, however, small
recoveries. The fall in price has
been attributed by the best authorities
chiefly to the cessation of purchases
for coinage purposes by the Indian
minis last year and to the small de-
mand throughout the Far East for bull
lion owing to the hard times. Another
factor has been the small purchases
by the manufacturers of silver in this
country, who have been severely af-
fected by the business depression

Senator owen a Defendant

The fact that United States Sena-
tor Owen. himself of Indian blood
is one of the defendants to the suits
brought by the government lends
dramatic interest to the trials soon
to be had and the incidental develop
ments of political character likely
to ensue. Senator Owen is under
stood to have upward of $50 tracts of
land, title to which will be attacked
He is a rich man, even as reckoning
goes in the American house of lords,
having received one fee as attorney
for his Indian kin in land claims
before the federal courts which put
him high in the six-fgure class. If
he can retain the vast tracts of land
he has acquired under the alleged
doubtful title, his wealth would be
enormous in the course of a compare
lively short time Another of the
defendants Of high station is Chief
Justice r. L. Williams of the Supreme
Court of Oklahoma There are said
to be others of prominence whose

on his father-in-law's estate
When the body of the suicide was

articles passed through the hands of
