Three streams of water were turned
on the crowd from windows, but this
apparently only served to anger the

which more than fifty windows were
smashed.
The door was guarded by uniformed
officers, but the rioters obtained a
rope and ladder and began pouring
through second story windows. Large

Nowata, Okla.-Mrs. w. B. Daw. son, resident of this place, says: My husband is a great believer in Blhck-Draught and thinks it cures about everything.
 It is splendid for headache, con- stipation (which usually causes headache), indigestion, or any kind of stomach trouble, and We just keep it for these troubles. l don't know when we haven't used it, and we always find it satisfactory.
 know it has done us both a lot of good and saved us many dollars. l use it in ateaspoon doses at first and follow with small doses, and it sure does make person feel like new.
 It cleanses the liver better than any other liver tonic I have ever used, and after taking a thorough course nature asserts itself and you are not left in constipated condi- tion that follows a lot of other active medicines. This is one thing I like especially about it."
 For over 70 years Thedfords $ Black-Draught has been in use for many simple ailments and today is q recognized standard remedy in thous- ands of family medicine chests. It will pay you to keep Black -Draught in the house for use when needed. Your druggist sells it. adv

 Berlin, Tuesday, Nov. Apr. von Bethmann- -Hollweg, the former Ger man chancellor, stated in the course of his testimony today before the ub-committee of the national assem- bly, that he did not believe during the war; and does not now believe in a lasting peace.

 "As regards our strategic de- mands (regarding Belgium and the eastern frontier) I did not believe that a comparatively long period of peace would be granted us. am still today unable to believe in a lasting peace particularly after We have had exhibited to us the state of mind in which the entente has founded what it calls real peace"

Jefferson County
 Realty Sales Are
 Showing Increase

That thousands of persons are in- vesting in Jefferson county real estate is demonstrated by the records in the office of Circuit Clerk s. F. Vaulx. Activities this year are 37 per cent greater than last year. From January 1, 1919 to yesterday 3 21a instruments pertaining to real estate had been filed in the circuit clerk S office, as compared with 2,355 instru- ments filed during the same period in 191S Most of the instruments are warranty deeds. While there is a seller for every buyer, many of the vendors sell only part of their prop erty, the number of real estate own CTS being thus increased.
 Among the transfers records yes- terday were two involving city real estate. R. H. Foster sold to H. s. Moreland the west 50 feet of the lots comprising the northeast corner at the intersection of Elm and Four teenth. L. L. Brockman bought from the Park View Land company the south half of four lots north of the alley in the block bounded by Twen- ty-first, Twenty-second, Linden and ! Mulberry, paying $140O.
