TERRIBLE EXPLOSION

A serious accident occurred at the
Gonzales home four miles south Of
town, week ago Thursday evening,
says the Lake Arthur Times. An ex-
plosion was caused by the igniting
of quart of gasoline, which was
placed near burning lamp by mis-
take, the gasoline being taken for coal
oil Mrs. Gonzales was so severely
burned that she is not expected to
live. And a nine months old infant
was so badly burned that It's recovery
is doubtful Mr.. Gonzales was not
burned at the time OF the explosion,
but he burned his hands painfully in
removing the clothes Of his wife and
child.
A young man who lived with the
family died Friday morning. The ex-
pIosion had nothiRg to do with his
death. DR.. Matthews was called, and
states everyone is doing very well.
The explosion was Of great force, de-
molishing everything in the room and
tearing a door off its hinges.

Innumerable catarrh sufferers have

entire system before 1t ehokes the nasal

the result of some serious blood trouble
Of former years, and this is only one of
the many peculiar effects Of impure blood.
Now s. s. S., in its influence upon the
mucous surfaces, causes those catarrhal
secretions to be changed or converted

THE new PASTOR
BY +. NJ. EcRERT.

Well, when we heard that sky-pilot
was coming to Raw Gulch we allowed
1t would be q good thing for the town
Raw Gulch had been a tough place
in its time, like most Of the mining
camps, but that was many years be
fore, and the gold had all been taken
from the river beds and the mining
was done respectable like, with
stamps and cyanide There had been
a good deal of gambling, but the new
state law had put that out Of business
and the only signs of evil was Miss
Flora Deering setting up the drinks in
Bill Hicks saloon. Flora was all
right, and II her hair was golden II
was that way naturally
So, as said, we thought the arrival
of Rev. Mr.. Tracey would be good
thing for the town. We'd heard he
was a Harvard man, and we looked
forward to an intellectual polishing
In Raw Gulch. Mrs. Fay Anderson,
the secretary of the local Browning
society, said she was glad he had been
at Harvard because he would certain
ly be an educated man, and education
was booming in Raw Gulch Just then
When Rev. Mr.. Tracey got down
of the stage coach we were very
much interested in him. He wore a
sweater and high boots, and he was
six foot three and broad in the beam
accordingly. The group that had col
lected round the coach prepared to
greet him cordially.
"My names Tracey. and I'm to be
the new pastor here, he says, looking
straight in front Of him. AS Jim Ben
sons face happened to be in front Of
him, It was Jim Benson caught his
eye. Jim looked at him for about ten
seconds. and then he looked at his
hat, and then at his boots, but when
he came back to the parsons face the
parson was still looking at him.
well, sir?" says Mr.. Tracey
sharply.
"Yes, yes, quite wellI mean, thank
you, Mr. Tracey" stammers Mr.. Ben
son.
The parson smiled kind Of sarcas-
tic.
'1've heard OF the tough ways you
folks out West have he says, "and If
there's going to be any fighting I'm
ready for you now"
Which certainly feazed us. Be
cause. you see. we had come to the
coach prepared to give the new pas
tor cordial welcome. and we didn't
have thought Of fighting in our
heads.
Il anticipate good deal Of opposi'
tion in Raw Gulch." continued the
pastor, and I want to ind the bad
man and have him fire bullets be-
tween my feet. I'm ready for him

FLYNN IN THEIR DEclS-
I'VE BATTLE

Kansas City, Oct 26.-Carl Morris,
sapulpa Giant Killer who faces Jim
Flynn before the G. A. Al, c., Thurs
day night in the crucial bout of a
series boxed by this pair, arrived yes
terday morning from Joplin, Mo.
where the big Oklahoma giant has
been training with Jeff Clark and a
corps of huskies the last ten days.
Morris will put on the finishing
touches at Louie Cutters Business
Mems Athletic club. Morris will work
with Bob Devere, Jimmy Hurst's
hope, and several other big men. Nor
ris will start the matinee this after
noon at 8 o'clock. The Business
Mems A. G. is eager that the public
attend the workouts and get line on
the largest boxer in the game, with
the exception of Jess Willard, the
other Oklahoma heavyweight.
In a long distance conversation with
Billy Mccartney Morris told his mana
ger last night to get right on the job
and land another big game for him.
Morris says he is going to put the
uuietus on Jim Flynn when they meet
at Association park Thursday night.
Flynn" said Morris, has been tell
ing it all over the country that | am
afraid of him because | failed to keep
date with him which Jack Dillon
filled. did not take tnat date TOR
the simple reason was not in the
right kind of shape for Flynn. have
never bunked the public yet, and will
meet no man, no matter how large
or small his reputation, unless | am
in shape to give the bugs who pay
their money for action a real, red
blooded contest.
Flynn has gone along since our
Joplin meeting and made several good
fights and there are many who likely
figure he is the better man. Thurs
day night will tell the tale, and am
very confident that am going to
flatten this fellow when we hitch up
for the third trip. 1t is the acid test
for the pair of us and am going to
waste no time getting in action from
the first gong"
Jim Flynn worked hard at his Ex-
celsior Springs training camp yester-
day, and reports that he will stop
Morris this time beyond the shadow
of doubt The big fellow is going
to lay his end down when the Okla
homa delegation gets here that he
will do things to Morris via the knock
out. Many likely will go down this
afternoon and watch Flynn work out.
Flynn always gives them great show
when they visit him.
There is a healthy advance sale at
the Hurst and Brewer cigar stores,
with plenty of out of town requests
coming in for reservations to the
bouts.

Deafness Cannot Be cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucus lin

this tube is infIamed you have a rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing. and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result, and unless the inflamma

restored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out Of ten are caused by Ca,
