John H. Cullom, editor of the Garland, News, has written a letter of congratulations to the manufacturers of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, as. follows: "Sixteen years aga, when our first child was a baby he was subject to croupy spells and we were very uneasy about him. We began sing Chamberlain's Cough Remedy in 1887, and finding it such a reliable remedy for colds and croup, we have never been without it in the house since that time. We have five children and have given it to all of them with good results.

One good feature of this remedy is that it is not disagreeable to take and our babies really like it. Another is that it is not dangerous, and there is no risk from giving an over dose. I congratulate you upon the success of your remedy." For sale by Slosson Co. THE LATE GENERAL GORDON. We once were foes upon the tented field, And faced each other in the deadly fight; Each battled then for what he deemed the right, As each, one saw his duty there revealed, And neither would his firm convictions yield; Till smiling Peace dawned on the nation's sight, And North and South both saw wiui glad delight The brother-love which passion had concealed.

And then he was my best friend, tender and true, Who gave me kindly words of praise and cheer; And now, as heaven distills her gentle dew, I would distill my soul into a tear, And let it fall, hot from my blinded eyes, Upon the bier where a true hero lies.

Former Coffeyville Girl Hurt by Gas in Cherryvale. Cherryvale Republican: Saturday afternoon about 6 o'clock a gas explosion occurred at the home of W. P. Cram on West Third street, the gas igniting and inflicting a most painful burn on Miss Goldena Crum. The explosion was in the kitchen stove.

Miss Crum had touched a match to the, burner in oven, so she thought, and was waiting for the oven to get thoroughly heated, as she was baking pie for supper. The gas had been escaping some, time and when Miss Crum opened the oven door, which caused a draft of air, forcing the gas in the oven up to the burner in the front, igniting the gas at' once. The force of the blaze knocked Miss Crum three or four feet away to the wall. She was wearing her sleeves rolled up at the time, exposing her arms to the fire. The blaze struck her full in the face, scorching her eye brows and burning her hair, also her hands and arms above the elbow.

A physician was called at once to dress the burn. He is of the opinion that the burn will not leave a scar. Miss Crum is a very pretty girl and almost a stranger in Cherryvale, moving with her parents from Coffeyville about six weeks ago. Her friends here wish her a quick recovery from the injury, and trust that no sad remembrance will remain to mar her future happiness. Mr.

Wm. S. Crane or California, suffered for years from rheumatism and lumbago. He was finally advised to try Chamberlain's Pain Balm, which be did and it effected a complete cure. This liniment is for sale by Slosson Co.

Washington, Jan. 18. Although the United States is deficient in creating new breeds of animals, according to Secretary Wilson, who outlined the policy of the department of agriculture to the house committee on agriculture Saturday, Sir Thomas Lipton buys horses and pigs at Chicago. The horses, said the secretary, he ships to Ireland and trains them as jumpers, then sells them in Great Britain to "ten-stone Englishmen" as "Irish jumpers." The pigs, of which he selects the thin ones, he cans as "Irish bacon," which he also sells in England. Secretary Wilson believes that the United States can furnish the mounts for the cavalry of Europe, with proper study of the breeding of horses, and the department is turning its attention to this subject at the present time.

The only thing the United States has ever produced in the way of new breeds, he says, Is, perhaps, a few breeds of hens, although we have converted a running horse into a trotter. Marriage Licenses. Name. Age-Louis H. Donnelly, Oil City, Pa.

Dr. Wollgast's driving horse Charlie," which has been suffering with lockjaw for several days, has not improved very much and the chances are completely against its recovery. So to save the animal any further suf fering, the doctor was compelled to shoot it afternoon.

Old "Charlie" was a fine horse and his unfortunate accident and death will be greatly deplored by many who knew the faith ful TOO MUCH MONEY. A Vinita Man Wanted Oil Lease Near Coffeyville. Boyd Hamilton came home last night from a prospecting tour in the oil country, says the Vinita Chieftain. His primary object was to secure a partial allotment but the bonus de manded put him out of the lists. In one instance $1,500 was asked for a forty-acre tract, and the nearest oil well three miles away.

This was the nation, south of Coffeyville. In the state, north of there, par ticularly in the vicinity of Independ ence, a veritable boom is on in oil, and derricks are everywhere. Mr. Hamilton says he must have seen five hun dred while away. All sorts of inducements are held out to strangers by a lot of fellows who have got in and secured oil lands for speculation.

Some of the schemes are legitimate but it is fair to presume that many of them will never yield any return on the investment. The Oil Market.

jirror-Vritins. In a recent case of mirror-writing a boy, of seven or eight wrote unusually well, but in this singular reversed style, and some months later, after acquiring the normal method of writing, would return to his original style on becoming fatigued. Dr. C. D.

Jones, of Boston, in reporting the case, states that the anomaly seems to be more common in England than in America. In one group of 451 the percentage of mirror-writers was 5.1, but in many reported instances the specimens have proven to be merely those of poor penmanship. Various explanations of the peculiarity have been offered. It seems to be most common with mental disease, but has been observed in persons of normal mental capacity, and one explanation is that it is due to left-handedness and some preponderating influence of the left brain.
