AN ABRuP PRO osAL.
iAbsrnsthy Was Too Busy For Romance
and Courtet1ip.

Absrnethy Was Too! Busy For Romanos
and Courtship.
sssIhezreported fashion Of the famous
DR.. Abernethy' o courtship and mar
riages is very characteristic. It is told
that while attending alady for several
weeks he observed those admirable
qualifications in her daughter which
be truly esteemed to render the mar
zried state happy. Accordingly on a
Saturday, taking leave of his patient,
ahe esaddressed her to the following pur-
port:
"Youzare 80 we'll that need not
see you after Monday next, when
shall come and pay you a farewell wis
it. But In the meantime wish you
and your daughter to seriously consid
er the proposal am about to make.
It is abrupt and unceremonious, am
aware, but the excessive occupation of
my time by my professional duties af
f0rds me- mo i leisure to accomplish
what Iudesire3 by the more ordinary
course Of attention and solicitation.
My annual receipts amount to e.,

character Is generally known to the
public, so that you may readily ascer:

THE BABY'S WELFARE
A MOTHERS DREAD

A fear clutches at the heart of the
mother that her own little one may
not live long She breads it's second
summer, or that it may never wake
from it's sound sleep. All mankind
loves a mother-loves to see mother
love her child. A baby and it's mother
are insured against ill-health if the
mother takes DR.. Pierce's -FavOrite
Prescription, tonic for women that
DR.. r. V. Pierce invented nearly a
half century ago for women's ills.
This is a vegetable tonic, made only
of the chicinal roots with glycerine,
which puts the female system into
perfect, healthy action. Before baby's
coming it is just the tonic that. puts
the wOlnanly system into a proper
condition to make the birth painless
and to insure a healthy child.
Many mothers of families in, the
United States have reason to be CRATE
full to the person who recommended
DR. Pierce's Favorite Prescription! 1t
is put up for the SINGLE PURPOSE
OF CURING disease peculiar to wo-
men. 1t has sold more largely on
this continent than any other medic
favor: it is a temperance remedy and
does not contain a single drop, Of al
cOhol nor of any narcotic.
Young mothers who preserve athe
charms of face and figure in spite OF
an increasing family and the care
of growing children are always t6
be envied. DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription gives the strength and
health upon which happy motherhood
depends. It practically does away
with the pains of maternity. It en-
ables the mother to nourish the in.
fant life depending on her, and enjoy
the hourly happiness of watching
the development of perfectly neal
thy child.

BONDS ARE ESSENTIAL.

Not a railroad system in the
United States, not an interurban
system in the United States, not a
street railway system could have
been possible without the issuance
Of bonds what would the United
states be without the great
transportation systems and the
smaller transportation systems?
But for bond issues where would
Tulsa be today? Just a wide
place in the road. sort Of
Whistling station.
There has not been a bond is-
sue in this town for the past
eight years that it did not ad-
vance the interests Of every man,
woman and child living in Tulsa.
The paving bonds made the OPEN
ing Of residential districts posi-
bic which would otherwise be
merely truck farms. The is
suance Of watarwcrKs bonds
made possible the extension OF
the water works 1t is entirely
deuonstrable that there has not
been a bond issue whiSh has not
increased the market value Of
every foot Of real estate in the
city. and Of many outlying dis
tTiCts
There has not been a single
logical reason assigned for oppo-
siton to the bond issue which
will be voted IN Friday. Either
Tulsa is to go ahead or it is to
stand still A vote for the bonds
is a vote for progress, vote for
future development, a vote for
the homes and siresidcs which we
expect in the future. The OppO-
sition to the bond issues is
chimerical, flimsy based en- mar
row prejudice and shortnesS Of
vision. The men who have made
Tulsa the financial center and the
trade center Of this section of
country are still standing solidly
for the bonds

KAISER EXPECTED
TO INVADE ITALY
British Statement Tells of
Preparation for Long
Siege i'll Straits.

n ONDON, June 15.-The Austro-
IL German rushing in Galicia is on
again. Both Berlin and Vienna Off
cially lay claim to progress along vir-
tually the entire southeastern front
and Lemberg seems again to be in
danger
Mosciska, to the east of Przemysl,
has been captured by the AustrO-Gcr-
mans and according to the German
contention the Russians are falling
back south Of the railroad connecting
PrZCmySl and Lemberg. All the Rus
sian Counter-attaCks have been re-
pulsed with gains for the Teutons
from a point north Of Pr2emysl into
Bessarabia.
Far off as this front is from Eng
land and France it is being watched
more closely than the western front
because it would appear that these
operations are being pressed in an at
tempt to clear GaliCia of the Russians
preparatory to a breathing spell in
the east, which is likely to be fol
lowed by a crushing blow aimed at
Italy.
The fighting Is growing harder daily
along the Austro-ltalian frontier and
in view of past performances it is
Germany will throw a great mass Of
troops on this front and endeavor to
sweep into Italy and hold ground
there just as she has done in Poland,
Belgium and France.
Statements Contradict
The fighting in France around
Arras, while bitter and marked by
daily attacks and counter attacks, has
reached the stage where the German
and French official communications
fatty contradict each other. on the
whole it Is believed here the advan-
tage has been with the French.
That England is prepared for long
siege operations in the Dardanelles is
indicated in an official statement just
issued, explaining the nature Of the
tedious trench warfare prevailing
although asserting that the Turkish
offensive IS not so sharp as it was
formerly.
Almost complete returns from the
general elections assure a war cham
Der for Greece although with the

PEDESTRIANS MAKE
TRAFFIC TROUBLE


CHICAGO, June Is. - Complete

tion lines marked the second day Of
the strike Of the Chicago street rail-
way employees The elevated COM
panies ran occasional trains over part
Of the system but these carried few
passengers ana made irregular stops.
only q few minor acts of violence
were reported.
Prospects of the United States
government overseeing the operation
Of the oak Park division of the ele-
waited system were seen in an order by
G.. G. kOhlsaat Judge of the United
states circuit court Of appeals direct
ing Samuel insult receiver for the
Chicago & oak Park Elevated rail-
road, to resume operation at once and
to report amy unlawful interference
or obstruction by any persons what
sOcNer for such action as the court
may deem proper
Traffic COngcstcd.
In the meantime the great mass of
the population walked to work or
rode in automobiles, steam trains or
husses, which included vehicles of all
descriptions, ranging from converted
ice wagons to huge delivery motor
trucks with seats for 40 or so persons
In spite Of the absence of street
cars traffic was worse COngestcd than
ever before and tonight police officials
We're attempting to work out a
scheme Of regulation to control motor
cars which have been running through
the shopping quarters in the heart Of
the city.
Judge Kohlsaats order came just
before the close of court today and

hudd, president and Samuel insult,
receiver of the oak Park elevated.
The Chicago Oak Park Elevated
Railroad company operating about
ten miles of road on the west side,
went into the United States district
court some time ago and obtained the
appointment of Mr. insult as receiver
at the instance Of a suit brought
against it by the Central Trust COM
pany of New York. The receivership
has not yet been discharged and the
federal court has charge through the
receiver of the operation Of the road
and the employees of the road are thus
employees of the court.
"In exercising its powers over the
railroad the court owes a duty to the
employees the order read, namely
the duty to see to it that they are
fairly treated in all respects for they
are for the time being employees OF
the court.
But the court also owes duty to
the public and that is to operate the
trains by the best means obtainable.
Consequently, the receiver is directed
to resume operation without delay
employing such men as may be avail
able for the purpose"
The direction TO employ "such men
as may be available" is contradictory
to an ordinance passed last night by
the city council which Mayor Thomp-
son has not yet signed.
Reports from eastern labor Centers
are that numerous strike-hreakers are
on their way here from the east. Sew
eral hundred recruited in this city are
housed i'm outlying barns.
The council committee Of five,
headed by Mayor Thompson, spent
the afternoon in conference with labor
leaders. At night the traction Off
cials Joined the meeting and the pro-
lOnged discussion gave rise to hopes
that a settlement was in sight.
