Stomach Trouble OF Is

The latest endorsement of this
great nerve tonic received at Burke's
drug store, where the tonic is sold
exclusively in Clarksburg. came from
Mr.. Holden. who, after declaring that
he had suffered with sour stomach
"for 25 years" added: Have tried
about all the medicines / have ever
heard of and good many doctors and
could get nothing that would stop
that sourness till / got your NerV-

Mr.. Holden continued TO say that
when he had taken half a bottle

and to all sufferers. f"
These are words used by Mr.. Hold
en- over his own signature. Note the
fact that less than a bottle OF Nerv-
Worth began the work of banishing
stomach troubles that had lasted for
quarter of century.

Speaker Clark's part in the fight
will not be active, and 1t is under

interference with the presidents

so with the aid Of the man who then
blocked them.
Ono Cause Personal.
The causes of the break between
the president and his former pre-
mier are all known except one; that
is personal, and results from the fact
that neither Mr.. Bryan nor his wife
believe in second marriages. This,
however, is Of great weight in the
Quarrel, for the presidents action has
DESTROYED the confidence which the
Commoner had felt in Mr.. Wilson'S
sincerity and high motives. however
they differed on practical questions.

pied with the entire disapproval OF
the presidents recentSpublic policies,

Friends of the administration have
been charging that the discontinue
which has overtaken the presidents
policies in Congress Is due to the ac-
tive opposition of Mr.. Bryan. While
1t is yet too early to venture pre-
diction as to whether the president
will have power enough to force
through the policies he has proclaim
ed. it is already apparent that he will
not have a solid party behind him
on any one of them, and that so far
they are not making any appreciate
1t is not doubted that some
measure of preparedness will be en-
acted. or that the tariff fence will
hold tight, but beyond this no one
will venture to predict any success

ant Philippines bill.

Sixty Per Cent of County Under Lease

panies and Many Wells Are
Being Sunk.

The oldest inhabitant of Pittsburgh
county cannot remember when there
were not assures at various parts of
the county from which gas has issued.
In the southeastern Part OF the coun-
ty one stream is covered with a scum
of black oil, and the memory Of man
cannot run back to when this phe-
nomenon was first discovered.
Biologists of the United States and
Holland have declared that if there is
anything in geology at all one of the
greatest oil pools of America is within
radius of 80 miles Of McAlester.
Owing to the large amount of land
still belonging to the tribes, either
unallotted or segregated, this field
long remained undeveloped! But re-
Gently active development work has
begun. The records of the county show
that fully so per cent of the land of
Pittsburgh county is eithered covered
by oil or gas leases or owned outright
by Oil and gas men, who bought 1t at
the government sale of unallotted
land.
The belief Of the biologists is shared
by practical oil men, who are showing
their faith by their works.
There is not man engaged in the
oil business in Oklahoma who does
not expect to hear of one of the big
gest oil strikes in the incomparably
rich fields of this state in the immedi-
ate neighborhood Of McAlester.
