It is certainly gratifying to the public to know of one concern in the land who are not afraid to be gener- | ous to the needy @nd suffering.

Asthma, bronchitis, hoarseness and all dis- eases of the throat, chest and lungs are surely cured by it. Call on H. L. Tucker, Druggist, and get a trial bottle free. Regular size 50c and $1. Every bottle guaranteed, or prics refunded. Awaiting Extradition Papers. Guthrie, Ok.

They were anxious to know what could be done by the companies in order that they can be allowed to do business again in the estate, and called upon Attorney General Crow and superintendent Insurance Orear and stated the case to them. These officials could give them no encouragement and nothing will be done now until the court acts on the motion for rehearing. It is gener- of ally considered here that the com-| panies cannot be relicensed except by order of the supreme court per- mitting it. Attorney Bates stated that the opinion in the case was the most im- portant opinion relatiog to insurance rendered by any court in the United State, and that the managers of the companies admitted that It destroy- ed their western union; and that if the court overruled the motion fer rehearing they would be willing to obey the law as declared in the opin- ion, if allowed to in the state. The court meets on July 14, when it is expected tne motion for rehear- ing will ba acted upon. It is beliey- ed the court wil! adhere to its former opinion and overrule the motion for rehearing. continue SHOT FATHER AND SON. Quarrel Ove a Load of Wheat Ended ina Tragedy. Springfield, Mo., July 7 —George W. Hunter, a merchant of Astoria, a small town twenty miles northeast of Hartville, shot and killed C. O. Winningham and mortally wounded James O. Winningham, his son, early this morning The Wisninghams were tenants of Hunter. They had considerable trouble over the division of the grain. Winungham and were passing Hunter's house this morning with a load of wheat, which they were taking to market. Hunter it is said, demanded that they return home with the wheat, and their re- fusal to do so resulted in an alterca- tion in which Hunter shot and instantly killed the elder Winning- ham. The son, who tried to defend his father, was also shot. He is report- kis son |ed to be in a dying condition. Hunter started for Hartville im- mediately after the shooting and gave himself up to the sheriff. He claims that the shooting was done in self defense. All parties ON AMOUND WITH REPTILES | A Thousand Starving Persons) Cut Off by Texas Floods. Animals and Human Beings Huddled To- | gether—Several Persons Reported Dyi From Reptile Bites—Through Traffi Interrupted by the Brazos Overflow. Austin, Tex., July 7.—Governor Sayers received a message from Sealey to day over the long distance telephone, saying that 1,000 persons who had taken refuge on a mound three miles below there are slowly perishing for the want of food. The message said the refugees are sur- rounded by poisonous reptiles and skunks. Huddled together with the human beings are several hundred head of live stock. A number of those onthe mound have received bites from the reptiles, the message adds, and are dying. Dallas, Tex, July 7.—The long distance telephone between Dallas and Sealy was got in working order last night. Deputy Sheriff Swearin- ger, whois active in helping direct relief movements, said: “The river here has fallen about one inch today. No relief trains have yet reached here. With the aid of glasses we have been able to see this afternoon from this side of the river to ‘the Mound, about four miles away. We counted thirteen small boats, apparently lashed to- gether at ‘the Mound, on which 300 or 400 persens have been con- gregated for four days and nights. Provisions, it seemed, were being distributed from the boats, and we could gee struggles, as if the occu- pants of the Mound’ were fighting for the food. The boats seemed to be from San Felipe and Sunnyside.” RATIONS FROM THE G 9VERNMENT. Galveston, Tex., July 7.—On ap- peal from Governor Sayers, the War department has ordered the United States commissary department, at San Antonio, to deliver 10,000 ra- tions to the adjutant of the state, for the immediate relief of the destitute of the floods. It has also ordered all government boats at Galveston to proceed at once to the scene of flood and aid in the work of rescuing people. — Rich d, Tex., July 7.—Business is prac! ly suspended to day on accouat bf the flood from the Brazos river. Many plantations are under water. All trains except those upon the Southern Pacific west bave been washed away, and some of the com- panies are now separated by streams six feet deep. In many cases the men are sleeping with three feet of water beneath their bunks, which are elevated on eracker boxes. The company cooks when preparing the meals stand knee deep in water. Some of the roads leading to Pasay are simply impassible and the rice fields en all sides are one great lake. A high wind blew over several tents of the second reserve hospital. Manila bay is impossible of navi- gation by either launches or canoes, and no vessels are leaving the har-! bor. The United States transport Cen- tennial is ready to sail for San Fran- cisco with discharged soldiers, bat the latter have to sit around the water front all day drenched to the skin, waitiug for a launch to take, them to the steamer. The river Pasig and all the other streams are swollen, and the city streets at all low points are covered with water. A Clever Trick. It certainly looks like it, but there is really no trick about it. Anybody | can try it who bas lame back and | weak kidneys, malaria or nervous troubles. We mean he can cure himself right away by taking Electric Bitters. This medicine tones up the whole system, acts as a stimulant to liver and kidneys, is a blood purifier | and nerve tonic It cures constipa- | tion, headache, fainting spells, sleep- lessness and melancholy. It is purely vegetable, a mild laxative, and re- stores the system to its natural vigor. Try Electric Bitters and be convinced that they are a miracle worker.
