Peril in Letter Writing.

The adage which says: Don't
write letters" emanated, of course
from some cautious mind, fearful
that written words might betray its
cherished secrets. Tradition has 1t
that its originator was politician
who found it inconvenie 1t TO be
quoted against himself. In any event
it has been left for a modern poll
tician to devise a method by which
letters containing secrets can be
written and were kept safe from a
critical public eye. Boss Brayton of
Rhode Island, who ruled his party
with the aid of Senator Aldrich, for
many years, had no anxiety about
letters, and he wrote-or dictated, for
The was blind-a great number of
them in his time. This is what he
said on the subject not long before
his death:
"No one need fear that any trace of
any transaction with me will come
to light. When I get letter from a
man of a specially private nature I
always send it back to him. Then
he knows where it is, and if he keeps
1t where others can see it that is his
lookout. And when I send one I do
not care to have preserved I always
put in the middle of it, in a place
where my correspondent can not de-
stroy it without destroying the letter

about him that he would not care to
have known (there is seldom any

this may be made up to some extent
by increased patronage on account of

MYSTERIOUS DEATH.
Body Of Well Known Tulsa Man
Found on Railroad Track.


Tulsa, Okla, Nov. 29-Lying face
down in the cinders along the right
of-way, the skull badly fractured and
two ugly holes torn in the head, the
body of Marvin Bowly of Red Fork,
a we'll known resident of Tulsa coun-
ty, was found covered with frost be-
side the Frisco tracks between West
Tulsa and Red Fork Monday morning

train

NEW QUESTION IN
THIRD DEGREE
CHARGE is MADE THAT WYOM-
ING SENATOR ENCLOSED Gov
ERNMENT LAND.

Washington, Nov. 2S.-The special
committee appointed by the senate
to investigate alleged third degree"
police methods was asked today to
take cognizance of charges of some
what different nature when an attor-
ney for Albert S. Connolly of Wyom-
ing appeared before it and asked it
to investigate charges that Senator
Frances L. Warren of that state had
violated the government fencing laws.
Mr.. Connolly, who was represented
by Attorney Matthew e. OBrien of
this city, claims that for several years
he has been endeavoring to get &C
ton taken against the senator by the
departments of justice and interior.
He believes the senates third degree
committee has jurisdiction over the
complaint, because it is authorized TO
investigate the third degree and ANY
other practices tending to impair the
fair and impartial administration of
the criminal laws of the United
States"
Mr.. Connolly alleges that Senator
Warren has violated the act of con-
gress prohibiting the fencing of gov
ernment lands, and that the law has
not been impartially administered be-
cause the senator has not been call
ed to account Attorney O'Brien re-
cites that he had endeavored to get
the matter before the senate, but
was unsuccessful. He therefore ap-
pealed to the third degree commit
tee under the wording of the reso-
lution creating it.
Mr.. O'Brien was given a hearing
at an executive session of the COM
mittee, which has taken under ad-
visement the question of its jurisdic-
ton. Mr.. O'Brien and Mr.. Connolly
probably will be given another hear
ing before a decision is announced.
The complainant and his attorney es-
specially desire the aid of the com
mittee in getting certain records from
the interior department, which they
allege will show that Senator War
ren, or the Warren Live Stock Com
pany has fenced in many acres of
government lands in Wyoming and
that no action has been taken against
the senator under the anti-fencing
| laws.

ly and his attorney is entitled

Unlawful Fencing of Government
Land and How the Hand of Justice
Was Stayed" A sub-caption reads:
An Attempt to Have an Investigation
and the Obstacles Met"
Mr.. Connolly says he endeavored
to have his charges looked into by
the Ballinger-Pinchot investigating
committee, and when that committee
did not see fit to attempt any juris-
diction over the matter he turned to
the thind degree committee.

LET YOUR STOMACH HAVE ITS
OWN WAY.
Do Not Try to Drive and Force it to
Work When it is Not Able or
You VIII Suffer All the More.


You cannot treat your stomach as
some men treat balliy horse; force,
drive or even starye it into doing
work at which it rebels. The stom-
ach is a patient and faithful servant
and will stand much abuse and III
treatment before it "balks," but
when it does you had better go slow
with it and not attempt to make It
work. Some people have the mis-
taken idea that they can make their
stomachs work by starving them
selves. They might cure the stom-
ach that way, but it would take so
long that they would have no use
for stomach when they got through.
The sensible way out of the difficulty
is to let the stomach rest If 1t
wants to and employ a substitute to
do its work.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will do
the work of your stomach for you
and digest your food just as your
stomach used to when it was well.
You can prove this by putting your
feed in a glass jar with one of the
tablets and sufficient water and you
will see the food digested in just the
same time as the digestive fluids of
the stomach would do it. That will
| ;cg, md fD tiCf
both your mind and body take one of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after eat
ing-eat all and what you want
and you will feel in your mind that
your food is being digested because
you will feel no disturbance or weight
in your stomach; in fact, you will for
get all about having a stomach, just
as you did yhen You We're healthy
boy or girl.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets act in
natural way because they contain
only the natural elements of the gas
trio juices and other digestive fluids
of the stomach. 1t makes no differ
ence what condition the stomach is
in, they go right ahead of their own
accord and do their work. They know
their business and surrounding con-
ditions do not influence them in the
least. lhey thus relieve the weak
stomach of all its burdens and give it
it's much-needed rest and permit 1t
to become strong and healthy.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are for
sale by all druggists at so cents a
box. They are so well known and
their popularity is so great that a
druggist would as soon think of being
out of alcohol or quinine as of them,
In fact, physicians are prescribing
them all over .the land, and If your
own doctor is real honest with you,
he will tell you frankly that there
is nothing on earth so good for dys-
pepsia as Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets

SCROFULA
HEREDITARY BLOOD POISON

Scrofula is a disease manifested
usually by a swelling and liberation
of the glands, especially about the
neck. 1t is almost entirely hereditary
in its origin, being the dregs or re-
mains of some specific blood poison.
Where the blood is greatly weakened
with the scrofulous poison, the disease
attacks other portions of the system
besides the glands, and then we see its
effects i'll weak eyes, poorly developed
bodies, running sores and ulcers, skin
diseases, especially on the scalp, ca
tarrhal troubles, etc. Scrofula usually
makes its appearance in childhood,
though manhood or womanhood may
be reached before the poison pro-
crosses to the stage of outward mani
festation. S, S. S. is the one real cure
for Scrofula. 1t is blood purifier
without an equal, and it cures this
destructive blood poison by removing
every trace of the infection from the
