Electric Current From Electro nodes
Proves An Astonishing Remedy
For rheumatism and
Other Diseases.

You hear no click. you feel no cur

tie healing, soothing. restoring current
is sent into every fibre. nerve, vessel
and organ of the body by means of a
remarkable new discovery called Elec-
tropodes.
Proofs Of the results of Electropodes,
In cases of rheumatism especially, and
OF nervous afflictions and organic
diseases, have caused a transformation
I'm scientific theories. ElectrOpodes are
different from any other electric ap-
plance since they create no current
except while they are actually In serv-
Ice. The current generated has been
found to have an astonishing effect on
blood impurities and the Kidneys thus
being quick remedy for rheumatism

Electropodes In appearance are pe-
cuiiar metallic insoles so placed in the
heels and arch of the shoes as to be
unnoficeable to the wearer. They
never cause discomfort. No medicines
or temporary drug stimulants are used
or needed. Right from the start the
system undergoes complete. healthy,

current. So remarkable are the re-
suits of these Electropodes that they
are now being sold under legal bind

In the 18th century. 1t says, chicle was
known to the Spanish explorers. who
reported that the InSians used the gum
to Quench thirst and relieve exhaus-

however. did not begin until as late
as 1876. Since then the demand has
increased to such an extent that i'm

search the markets and exploit the
growing of the tree in order to meet
requirements. Prior to 1883 chic'e sold

The question involved In this case
Is tremendous one. For more than a
decade progress in eastern Oklahoma
formerly Indian Territory has rested
upon congressional legislation. The
work of the agents of congress has
been accepted as final by all except
the claimants in the Fleming case who
seek to overturn everything that has
been done. II they succeed, no man
who has been accepted as a member
of the Choctaw and Chickasaw tribes.
and who has improved an allotment of

stands. To review the entire work OF
the commission to the five civilized
tribes presents a colossal task and
would eventually affect every one who
has acquired land under the original
acts Of that commission and the In :
dian citizenship court. The rights of
nearly 10000 accepted and enrolled
in the Fleming case. are in some meas
ure involved in this suit
Briefly the claim of J. e. Fleming

and executive departments of the gov-

HousToN,s LUCKY PREACHERS.

From the Houston Post.
The Houston preachers are as unpoor
as any who live in this country. About
100 of them live here and we defy any
city to show so prosperous a looking
ministry. They preach in churches that
have cost about $2000,000. They reside IN
parsonages that would make the palaces
of South Carolina bankers look like San
tee bottom shanties. Their tables groan
three times daily with Injuries and the
clothes they wear are in the height OF
ministerial fashion.
There is not preacher in Houston who
is not able (and wiling to put on a
clean shirt every day, as against the
once-a-week change which is the South
Carolina custom. One of the greatest
Presbyterian divines of the south, who
lives in Houston, is a native Of South
Carolina, and he has on many occasions
brought tears to our eyes by relating
the hardships to which he was subjected
while trying to save the people of that
state When he left South Carolina he
carried his effects In carpetbag sup
posed to have been left in the state by
the northern visitors of the Governor
Chamberlin era. When he came to Hous-
ton from Nashville ii took steamer
trunk and a suitcase to hold his apparel
Now when he takes summer vacation
it is not uncommon for him to pay as
much as si4 excess baggage.

NEGRO MINsTRELsY ABROAD.

From the New York World.
Pony Moore, who died in London E ri
day, was born in Mulberry street New
York, but he found his public in Lon
don, where for years he managed the
Moore Burgess Ministries at st. James
hall. New York has no such record of
continuous success in such venture.
For years black-face minstrelsy, an
American product in its beginning, has
had its vogue abroad not only have or
ganized performances met approval, but
at any occasion of popular interest, such
as the Derby, the Henley regattas or
an important football match, minstrels
wander about singing and drumming
banjos for pennies. They seldom have
any idea of negro dialect, but 1t makes
little difference. Though Britain has
more negroes under its flag than have
we, the people know nothing about them
Negro Ministries reached London and
Paris not from Algeria or Cape Town,
but from America.
OF late years there has been scholarly
study of negro music, Anton Dvorak IN
particular visiting this country to follow
its elusive trail. Most often what seems
transplanted African folk-song proves
up analysis to be some strain caught
years ago from the windows of the PLAN
tation great house. and modified by
untaught singers with minor chords and
syncopated movement. To the rendering
of such music negroes bring a fine native
sense of melody and rhythm.
The writer of the "S vance River
neither knew nor cared where it was. In
such songs as 'Massa's In de Cold Cold
| Kentucky Home" white composers de-
| liberately employed the plaintive minor
! cadences supposed to be appropriate to
| a people enslaved. The first negro melody
of record, Jim Crow with 'patting
| juba" accompaniment to which a per-
| forming uncle" may "turn about an
turn about an jump des So" was quite
as. characteristic of another mood of slave
| times
| The plantation darby figured in ragged
| dress in the early productions. Now we
| have alleged minstrels in costly costumes.
| OF late years real negroes have COM
| peted with burnt-cork whites in min
strelsy and have burlesqued the altered
| ways of emancipated negroes since the
! war. Perhaps London is too faithful to
| traditions to care for anything in black
| face except the "minstrels' to whom it
| has long been used.

nklahNma,s Bank Guarantee Law

When the state banking commits
sioners of Oklahoma closed the Co
lumbia Bank and Trust company oil
Oklahoma City they admitted their
own incompetence, for they had per
mitted bank holding deposits
amounting to 100000 to drift UNI
der their noses into insolvency It
does not appear that they had taken
anv steps to ascertain what was go
ing on within the bank. There was
no excitement, it is true, among the
danositOrs when the banks doors we're
closed. for Oklahoma has bank guar
antv law and fund, and the deposltors
have been or soon will be paid in full.
The closed bank is not, however, Il
conclusive test of the guaranty law. A
single bank failure in normal and even
nrosperous times is very different from
a school of failures in a panicky
period. Oklahoma's law has not been
tested in a period of that nature, and
The hone is it never will be.
After all, is it right to tax SOUND
bankers to foot shortcomings of the
unsound? The money that is to be
paid to depositors in Oklahoma CITY
will not come from the vaults OF the
state. The other banks of the state
are to be taxed to meet the deficiencies
of the suspended bank. The taxed
bankers may begin to fear that time
may come when they would be unduly
taxed for concerns that should nave
been more prudently conducted.

Production and Consumption

The government report puts the
condition of the cotton crop on Sep
TENDER 25 at about IL points below
the condition of the previous years
crop at the corresponding date. This
report points to crop of about
II 900, 900 bales. This report remains,
however, to be authenticated. The
crop will doubtless turn on the num-
Der of bales stated. 1t may be Il
half a million bales more or a half
million of bales less.
The Chronicle puts the consumption
of American cotton in the last cotton
year at 13,001,S46 bales. No one antic-
ipates a smaller consumption of Amer
lean cotton this year. In whatever
amount the crop this year falls be-
low the consumption of last year the
loss will be felt In all the cotton mills
in the world. II the American crop
is two millions bales less than the
world needs the deficiency will surely
be reflected in the price of the staple.
1t NAV be said to be so reflected
at the present time, for spot mid
dlings are worth about 10 cents
throughout the cotton belt. The sta
tistical position of cotton has rarely
been stronger and it is plain that the
great staple will not go a-begging this
season. In order that all may sea
what the consumption of cotton was
in the last cotton year the figures
of the Chronicle covering that year
are added:

PRINTERS ERRORS.

From p. It's Weekly.
A certain great authority on Jerusalem
was in the habit of contracting the name
of the city in his MS. to "Jerus." In one
of his books upon the subject he described
the sensations which attended his ap-
proach to the famous city. After reaching
the summit of hill, "the glorious piano.
rama of Jerusalem" he wrote, was
spread before u.s." Owing to the usual
contraction the genial compositor rem
dered this "the glorious panorama OF
Jones was spread before u.s." A misprint
which will always bear repetition is that
concerned with the sailors wife who
wished It to be announced: "A sailor go
ing to sea, his wife desires the prayers
of the congregation" This got itself rem
dered into: "a sailor going to see his wife
desires the prayers of the congregation
Before we condemn the compositor who
perpetrated this however, we must bear
In mind the possible nature of his own do
nestle relations. Another excellent one
is that OF the editor who wrote: when
Mrs. Jones lectured on Dress she wore
nothing that was remarkable" HOW the
compositor came to the conclusion that
this should read, when Mrs. Jones lee
tured ON Dress she wore nothing. That
was remarkabie!' is a mystery.

FOR A DEAD LADY.

By Edward Arlington Robinson in Scrib-
ner's.
No more with overlooking light
Shall fill the eyes that are now faded,
Nor shall another's fringe with night
Their woman-hidden world as they did,
No more shall culver down the days
The flowing wonder of her ways,
Whereof no language may requite
The shifting and the many shaded
The grace, divine, definitive,
Comes only as a faint forestalling;
The laugh that love could not forgive
Is hushed and answers to no calling;
The forehead and the little ears,
Have gone where Saturn keeps the years
The breast where roses could not live,
Has done with rising and with falling
The beauty, shattered by the laws
That have creation in their keeping,
No longer trembles at applause,
Or over children that are sleeping;
And we who delve in beauty's lore
Know all that we have known before
OF that memorable cause.
Makes Time so vicious In his reapdng.
