High School Burns.
Magnificent Educational Institu.
ton a Pile Of Ruins.

The Cherokee County high
school, located at Columbus, was
completely destroyed by FIRE at
2 o'clock Sunday afternoon. The
blaze first was discovered by
Charles Klessms an, a janitor, who
was in the building, and an
alarm was Immediately sent in.
The fire department worked UNI
ceaSingly to save the building,
but was unable to make head
way because of the low water
pressure. The principal part of
the structure was destroyed In
an hour. The FIRE was first dis
covered in the Auditorium. Five
residences were iguited from fall
ing brands, but these were saved.
A large amount of equipment
was saved and this was due to
the untiriug efforts of the fire.
men and the citizens. The chem
istry and physics laboratory was
entirely destroyed and all the
paraphernalia in the domestic
science department was lost. A
building near the main structure,
used by the blacksmithing de-
partment was saved. The main
school building contained ~
rooms and the original cost
amounted to $4,000.
All churches were dismissed
Sunday night and a meeting of
the citizens was held to discuss
the situation. A fund of S13, 900
was raised aud petitions and
pledges we're circulated TO-DAY to
secure more donations. The
building was insured for $50, 900.
According to plans, a building
to cost between SIS, 900 and $780,
900 will be erected on the old
site, and all modern equipment
will be installed. Four hundred
students are enrolled this year
and the school has been crowded.
Classes are being held in the
churches now and this arrange
ment probably will continue for
some time.

Miami Mines Company

f. Burleigh Johnson, President
IT the Miami Mines COMPANY, OF
Oklahoma City, is in town look
ing over the situation and receive
ing bids for building a 200-ton
mill on the Timothy 10 acres in
Lincoluville. They are now crib
bing up the old shafts and pre-
pairing the location for the first
mill on the site where the old
Common Law mill stood some
years ago. This 40 acres is To-
Gated in the very heart of the
best mineral land in the, Lincoln
vile district. The shipping fa-
cilities are the best that can be
had; two railroad spurs, from the
Frisco, and M. o. G. G. run right
up to the southwest corner line,
and loading facilities are as good
as il located in town near the
Dept.
There are five shafts on this
40 acres, two of which will be
used for the first mill. From the
operators standpoint the fine
thing about this is, that this
property is thoroughly opened
up, and a 2O0-ton mill can be
readily supplied with rock for
crushing from the start, and
kept in constant operation from
anv pair of the shafts. AS soon
as the first mill is completed the
second mill is to be built and put
in operation. and so on until the
four mills are put in operation on
the 40 acre tract. There will be
no uuwatering operations neces-
sarv as the ground is compare
lively dry, and one pump will
drain the whole tract.
The management is consider.
ing whether to use gas or cleo.
tricity for power; in fact, the fea-
sibility of putting in a power
plant of their own to generate
their own electric power for the
four mills from one central plant
with the initial power from fuel
oil. They believe this to be
practical and a money saver.
This company is a strong cor.
poration and proposes to develop
their mining interests here in the
most approved up to date man
ner. They are we'll informed as
TO the future possibilities of the
commercial zinc spelter interests,
and believe that it will be many
years before the price of spelter
will be lowered to any extent;
they quote from the Morgan in
terests of New York, that should
the European war cease today it
would take at least five years,
then some, to supply the worlds
needs in zinc, to be used in recon-
struction, pursuits of peace, and
warehouse storage equal to the
amount before the war, then af-
ter that, zinc will enter larger in
use in manufacture, munitions of
war, and general commercial use
than ever before.
The company proposes to open
a branch Office in Baxter. Mr..
A. L. Jones will have charge of
the local Office here. It will be
quite an acquisition to our town
and local interests, and the en-.
terprise should be encouraged as
much as possible. Our citizens
should get busy and see if we can
localize more of the zinc mining

TAKE CARE OF
YOUR LIVER
And 1t VIII Take Care of
Your Constipation.

The liver is supposed to furnish the
proper amount Of bile for the intesttnes.
This bile has two purposes-to help digest
in the intesttnes that part of your food
which the stomach is not meant TO digest
and to act as natures laxative and pre-
vent constipation.
1t is plain to be seen that oils and the
ordinary laxatives which do not act on
the liver give only temporary relief. II
you want to get real and lasting results
you've got to take the remedy that acts
on the liver and causes it to furnish the
bile which In turn acts on the bowels. The
name Of this simple but sure home treat
ment is Natures Remedy-popularly
known as Mr. Tablets.
An Mr. Tablet at night before retiring
will tone UP the stomach, put your liver
to work and in the morning act thorough
ly. but without gripping. on the bowels.
Natures Remedy also relieves rheunna-
tisn. acts benefcially on the kidneys and
purihes the blood.
No household should be without its hoy
Of Mr. Tablets-taken in time they will
break UP colds and prevent much sickness
arising from disordered stomach or
bowels.
Get sc box of Mr. Tablets and take
one tonight-youll feel better in the
morning.
