KILLING Rabbits in Oklahoma.

Thu following is part of a letter
from al old Tar Heel in Oklaho-
ma. written January 9.h:
"We have been having very bad
weather ever since New Year. We
had a little snow the first of last
week and it was very cold a few
days. On Tuesday morning the
temperature dropped four degrees
below zero, then it turned off
warmer and it has been foggv
and misty ever since.
II guess you thought you had a
good time, killing rabbits, when
you were out here, but you wasn't
in it at all. You didn't see any
rabbits at all when you we1e here;
you ought to have been here about
a week ago. They had a hunting
match over at Mrs. Deals. They
had twelve or thirteen on a side,
and the side that lost had to "set
up" to an oyster supper, and, as
it happened, they had a "hurt"
up at Billings on at the same day.
Over at Mrs. Deals they killed
1876 rabbits, including Jacks
and ''cotton tails" and all these
made the lower box of the wagon
bed rounded up full, and at Bill.
ings they killed 595 rabbits and
the next day Jerry, Daniel and
Jason came over here and we
hunted about three hours and
killed Is rabbits and never got off
of my place.
"Now how does this sound for
Oklahoma when there isn't any
rabbits here?
Now this is every word true"

tries and recommends regulation by

FREIGHT TRAINS COLLIDE.
Fireman Wounded, -Four Box Cars Destroy
ed and the Engines Badly Damaged.
CHINA GRorE RECORD, Feb, 2eth.

CHINA GRoTE RECORD, Feb, 26th,
On last Monday morning about
80 o'clock, our little city was
thrown into considerable excite.
ment by a head-on collision be.
tween two freight trains, No. 81
the local, and No. 70 a through
freight train, which occurred just
below the crossing one hundred
yards south of the station. Con.
ductor Chapman and Engineer
Hatley we're in charge Of No. 81,
which was southbound and had
stopped IN front of the depot to
unload some freight. A fagman
was sent forward to stop the
through freight train. No IS, I'M
der charge of conductor Clayborn
and Engineer Smith, until No. 81
could unload and run out on the
side track and give them the main
line, as they had orders to pass
each other at this point. The
fagman says he ran down the line
below the curve in the road and
tried to flag down the train, but
on account of the heavy fog the
engineer could not see his signal
to stop. By this time the local
Was moving along slowly towards
the switch, where in a few mo.
ments the two trains, coming from
opposite directions, met and ran
together, twisting off the plows
and knocking in the fronts ofboth
engines and completely demolish-
ing four box cars, one OIL the local
and three on the through freight
train. When the trains met the
engineers and firemen Jumped and
escaped without injury, except
Mr.. Arthur Bost, fireman on No.
Is, who in leaping fell Oh some
hard substance which cut an ugly
wound on his forehead about two
inches long. He also received
several bruises on the face about
the nose and chin, though not of
a serious nature, also q slight skim
ned place on his left knee. The
wrecking crew was telegraphed for
and they soon responded, bringing
with them the necessary tools;
they went to work and the track
was in a very short timecleared of
the debris. The engines were TAX
en- to the shops at Spencer, but
the four cars we're SO badly smash
ed up that they could not be NOV
ed, so they were thrown from the
track and burned.
Mr.. Bost was first taken to the
Office of DR.. G.. A. Ramsauer,
where his wounds were dressed and
afterwards carried to the Salisbury
Sanatorium, where he is now eing
treated. We learn that he is get
ting along nicely and will soon be
able to be out again.

Ia Mexico. where he remained for two
weeks. after which the wanderlust be
came too strong again and he beat

had no attractions for Penn per
hans il had too many jaiis-and so
he went back To little old New York.
From New York state he went 10 his
old home in Pittsburg, where he re-
manned the whole OF two days. Later
he hit Chicago. Minneapolis and
other cities on the way. and now he
il going to Seattle, from which place
he will go to San Francisco and thence

started in 1894. he has covered a total
of 532. 600 miles. and has been thrice
around the globe not to mention the
number of times he has covered the
United States. He is at home in every

novel theory. He believes thu rt.a
human stomach is directly res ls.-.e
for most disease. To quote as own
words from an interview upon his ar
rival in an eastern city: The average
man or woman cannot be sick IL the
stomach is working properly. To be
sure, there are diseases of virulent
nature, such as cancer, tuberculosis,
diabetes, etc. which are organic, and
are not traceable to the stomach, but
even fevers can, in nine cases out of
ten, be traced to something taken into
the stomach. All of this half-sick,
nervous exhaustion that is now so
common, Is caused by stomachic con-
ditions, and it is because my remedy
will and does regulate the stomach
that am meeting with such success.
