Cunningham started this morning- for Washington, to represent the territory's Interests in several suits pend ing on appeal in the supreme court of the United States.

T., Oct. 10 Manager Frank p ux, of the musical committee of the iC'uthrie Karnival Krews, announces that Many people arc afraid of ghosts. Few people are afraid of germs. Yet the ghost is a laucy and the germ is a Fict. If tie germ could be magnified to a size tqual to Its terrors tt would appear more ter nble than my nre Dreathing dragon, can't be avoided, Germs They ire ia the air we breathe, the wrater we drink. The germ can onlv pros per when the condition of the system gives it free scope to establish itself and Sevelop. When there is a aeficiency of vital force, hnguor, restlessness, a sal iavr cheek, a hollow eve. nhen the appetite is poor and the sleep is broken, it is time to guard against the gexm. You can fortify the body against ill germs by the use of Dr. Pierce's golden Medical Discovery. It increases the vital power, cleanses the system of clogging impurities, enriches the blood, puts the stomach and organs of digestion md nutrition in working condition, so that the germ finds no -weak -or tainted spot in which to breed. Golden Medi tal Discovery" contains no alcohol, Vhisky or other intoxicant. "Your kindness to me I can never forget," writes Mrs. Josie E.

DEATH OF EX-SHERIFF BARROWS Heart Trouble Carries Away One of Oklahoma's Pioneers. Guthrie, O. T., Oct. 11. Ex-Sheriff Bar rows of Oklahoma county is dead. The Oklahoma City Times-Journal says: "Word was received here last night at S o'clock by Mrs. Barrows that her hus band, J. R. Barrows, had died at Eureka Springs, Ark., where he had gone for the benefit of his health. Mr. Barrows had been sick for about two years with heart trouble. All efforts to effect a cure prov ed futile. For the last six months ho has been very poorly and it was known that be could not live long. About two weeks ago he went to Eureke Springs, thinking it would benefit him, but he found no re lief. Mr. II. G. Trosper went with him and he will arrive with the remains to morrow night on the 6:20 train over the Frisco. The funeral services will be con ducted Thursday morning at 9 o'clock at the house en East Second street. Rev. W. E. Graham will conduct the services. Mr. Barrows was 50 years of age. He came to Oklahoma In 1SS9 from Falls City, Neb. He has amassed considerable prop erty, was for two years sheriff of this county and served with honor and credit. The deceased leaves a wife and a grown son and daughter to mourn his death." The source of all health is rich blood. Hood's Sarsapharilla makes pure, strength-giving blood. "GIVE FREE HOMES A SHOW" Enid Wave Rebnkes ho Claim-Holder Who Proves Up Xow. Guthrie, O. T., Oct. 11. Comment will be caused hy an editorial in the Enid "Wave, which is Democratic. The Wave says: "The farmers who are rushing into the land office to prove ud must bo, very queer setof people. Didn't Dennis Flynn tell you he would secure you free homes? Didn't you vote for him because you be lieve what he said? Xow whytlon't you give him a chance? The "Wave believes that the next congress will give the Cherokee Strip free homes as well as statehood, provided the Republican man agement can be made to believe that two gold bug Republican senators can be se cured. Farmers are very foolish to prove up unless unavoidable circumstances compel them to do so. Every piece of land patented puts free homes that much far ther away and furnishes the enemies of the bill an argument against free homes. Give the free homes measure another show."

KENTUCKY STAKE IS EXTACY'S In Straight jreats3Ialzour Also a Straijrht-Heat Winner. Lexington, Ky., Oct. 11. The Kentucky stake was the feature of the trots today, and Major II. C. McDowell's grand filly Extacy was the favorite over a goo'd field, selling at $25, the field bringing $10. There was little betting at these odds, as the race seemed a gift for the filly. She proved worthily of the confidence, winning handily in straight heats. She was never extended and the race was a procession in both heats. Malzour was another favorite to land the money. He was a mild first choice, bringing only 13 to the field's 25. He won tho first heat and for the second was a hot favorite. Malzour took the next two heats and the race easily. The 2:19 trot was the only split-heat event of the day. The well played second choice Glory took the race after dropping the first heat to Fleet wood. The favorite, Cuttying, could do no better than third money. The track was slow, as a drizzling rain had fallen during the night. Results: Kentucky stake, for three year olds, two in three, $2,000: Extacy won in straight heats. Time, 2:1SU. 2:16. The Merchant, second; My Trick, third.

It needs a vigorous contest to .straighten matters out. AVe should tackle the Philippines and overcome them as Hcstetter's Stom ach Bitters does dyspepsia, indigestion, malaria, fever and ague, and liver and kidney diseases.

Foul Smelling Catarrh. Catarrh is one of the most obstinate diseases, and hence the most difficult to get rid of. The disease is in the blood and all the sprays, washes and inhaling mixtures in the world can have no permanent ef fect whatever upon it. Swift's Specific cures Catarrh permanently, for it is the only remedy which can reach tho dis ease and force it from the blood. Mr. B. T. McAllister, of Harrodsbarg, Ky., conld see no improvement whatever. though I was constantly treated with sprays ana wasnes. ana ainereni inhaling rcmedLcs-ln fact. 1 ccnld feel that each winter I was worse than the vear previous. "finally it was brought to my notice that Catarrh was a b-ood disease, and after thinking over the matter, I saw it was un reasonable to expect to be cured by remedies which only reachKi the surface. I then decmea xo trys. S- and after a few bottles were used. I noticed a 1 perceptible improvement. Conttnmngtherem- y, the disease was forced out of my eystam, i and a complete cure was the re'mlt. I advie all who have th'q dreadful disease to abandon iheir local treatment. which has neTer done 1 Jhem any good, and take SSf.a remedy that can reach the disease and cure it I To continue the wrong treatment for J Catarrhis to continue to suffer. Swift's Specific is a real blood remedy, and cures obstinate, deep-seated diseases which j other remedies have no effect whatever j upon. It promptly reaches Catarrh, and never fails to cure even the most aggravated cases. is Purely Vegetable, and is the only blood remedy guaranteed to contain no dangerous minerals. nooks mailed free oy fa wilt bpecine Company, Atlanta, Georcia. 'KdW i&SS&Blood ENGLAND AWAIT Continued from First, Pass. Gloucestershire, in .the course of an inter view this evening said it was imperative that England should give the Boers a manifestation of her strength. William T. Stead, editor o'f the Review' of Reviews, in the course of an inter view says: "I fcalntain that this war is fielng forced upon the Boers by men who have never forgiven Majuba Hill. In my oplnoon, owing to Great Britain's un preparedness, hostilities during the next two months will resemble the internation al yacht race off Sandy Hook. As there cannot be any serious fighting during that period, hostilities will be as dull as yacht races without wind. Long before Christmas, I take it, the fool-fury of the jingoes wil have evaporated." 00IYI PAUL TO AMERICANS Chicago, Oct 1L The folowing cable gram was received tonight by the Chi cago Tribune from President Kruger of the Transvaal Republic The cablegram was. sent in answer to a message from the Tribune requesting- a statement of the po sition of the Transvaal in the present crisis.

Town Topics has been played here for three seasons, and last night it was probably better than ever, certainly much better than last season. John World is not with the company this year and he is missed very much by thoe who have seen the show before. However, he has a good j substitute and the entire performance i from beginning to end Is characterized by j a high degree of excellence.

STORIES OF THE STAGE "The Musketeers," which Mr. Glhnore is presenting at the Bijou theatre this week has been aj big success. Mr. GUmore is as delightful and unassuming in con versation ps he Is pleasing In D'Artag nan,' He says: "This is my second sea son as a star. I was fairly successful in romantic roles from tho start. At the be ginning of last season I became lmbuod with the starring Idea and took out the "Dawn of Freedom," with my own com- pany. It was a military play and was successful, but in Chicago disaster came. All the scenery and all my property was burned up and I lost everything I had. The production had cost mo SS.dCQ. Well, about that time the 'Three Musketeers' craze was getting abroad in tho land, and it was my ambition to give the play this season.
