Letter From E. D. flyers. CLOOD CHIEF, OK. TY., July 4,1899.
ED. REVIEW:—
As I promised my friends that I would write when I got through,
THE REVIEW.
I
will now do so through the medium of
I have come from Museotali, Kansas tL western Oklahoma with a team, so I
could
see all the country. I will de
scribe crops in different localities. From Muscotah to Topeka, wheat and oats are fair. Corn is late and poor on account of the wet weather from Topeka to Florence, wheat and all small grain was badly damaged by a heavy hail storm. The fruit is also badly injured. From Florence to Wichita crops look very well from Wichita about six miles on the Arkansas River they are entirely ruined by hail and water and from there across to Oklahoma line everything looks well. Oklahoma has the finest wheat and oats I ever saw. Fruit is very nice. I was in one man's orchard and he showed me one peach-tree, two years old, that was bearing forty-two peaches They were as large as a hen's egg. When they get ripe they will be as large as a good sized apple. I ate the first roasting ears of the season, ou the Sierta Leoua River. I have not had time to look over the country yet, so I cannot tell much about it. There is some vacant land here yet.
Persons wishing to correspond with tne should address me for the next thirty days at Cloud Chief, Ok.Ty,

Robinson's Circus.
Robinsons circus this year, is a neat and clean performance, and was remarkably clear of those things which condemn the ordinary circus. There were fakirs and confidence men, but these follows as a rule steer clear of Crawfordsville. Too many of them have come to grief here, and they now regard it as a tough proposi tion. The circus was well patronized, both afternoon and evening. The business men connected with the show are all gentlemen.
Porcupine Quills.
Peter Porcupine, Jr., in THE NEWREVIEW. at Crawfordsville, has blossomed out into a satirist of the first water. Some of his writings are wor thy a place in the highest rauks of journalism, and should be read by everyone. '-Peter Porcupine" is a fictitious name, of course, but it is well chosen, since his articles are all bristling with pointed paragraphs.--Hills boro Times
Chas. Darnall has sold his Chicago livery stable, and will farm in Clark township.

Many women live where there is no skillful specialist in women's diseases, and still more cannot afford, to pay the high fees charged. These sufferers should follow the txaniple of Mrs. Anna Willy, of Northville, Spink Co., S. Dak., who writes as follows to Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y.:
I am enjoying good health, thanks to your tind advice and valuable remedies. I suffered very much with female ailments for more than two years, when I wrote to you for advice. After rarefully following your free advice, and taking six boU.ca each of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and Golden Medical Discovery,' I am now ft well and happy woman. I have also taken MTr ral vials of your Pleasant Pellets,' which aid me great deal of good."
Dr. Pierce has probably treated and cured ®°re cases of female weakness, pains in the back, side and abdomen, nervousness, headache, irregularities, ulcerations, tutors and other female troubles, than any other living physician. His wide experience peculiarly fits him to bring about cures when every one else fails. He charges no leu whatever to those who write him for advice, and he invites all to consult him free by mail. His wonderful remedy, Df- Pierce's Favorite Prescription, can be depended upon to overcome nearly ev-
ery
kind of disease that afflicts girls and •omen. It contains no alcohol, opium, or other narcotics, and does not create craving •or injurious stimulants, as is so often" the case with other medicines advertised for woman's ailments.
An honest medicine dealer will give you W. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, and not to persuade you to take some inferior substitute fdf the little added profit he may make thereon.
Those who wish may enclose ai one-cent in their letters, and Dr. Pierce will 'ree his 1008-page Common Sense •neaical Adviser, which is the most comn'hr Practical family doctor book ever Pjiolished, containing over 700 pictures, book, cloth-bound, 31 stamps.

The Proof
STORY OF A $5. GOLD PIECE.
Giv?n ton Street Sweeper for a Penny, It lteaches Its Owner After 45 Year*. "Forty-five years ago," remarked a well-known resident of Washington, "I was one of the many boys who did not have as much spending money as I could have gotten rid of easily. About the only way I could get spending money was to earn It. This I did by doing odd jobs, carrying water, for few houses were supplied by Potomac water in those days, and !n nearly every other way that carn.j a boy's way.
One evening I was especially anxious to get some money, an with another boy, who, like myself was armed with a broom, we entered into the business of crossing sweepers, depending on the kindness of passers-by to chip in a few pennies. The place we picked out was in front of a drugstore, at the corner of Seventh and Louisiana avenue. There was a great deal of traffic between those two points, and the mud was very deep in consequence of a heavy slush about the wind-up of winter. Business was very good, or, at least, the passers-by were, and in !cs« than two hours we had collected about 45 cents between us, for we had agreed to divide equally. The last piece of money handed to me I thought to be a penjjj, and as I afterwards learned the giver also thought so, but whsa w? cOup]£l "P
ln the
Mght of the ug-
store it proved to be a .five-dollar gold niece. knew that whoever gave it to ifiC supposed it was a penny, and I had scruples about spending it "My partner did not insist on It, for it was regarded more as a find than a part of our earnings, so that five-dollar gold piece remained my property until two years ago, when I surrendered it to its owner, who proved t.h« property by describing the three letters which he himself had cut on it. At the time mentioned I was in Athens, Greece, having gone there to witness the Olympian games. One evening, while at a hotel in Athens. I noticed on the register the name of a boyhood friend, although he was ten years older than I was, and I sent my card to him. It proved to be he. I had not seen him for thirty years, for he had lived abroad the greater part of his life. He is a "well-known American lawyer, who has practiced his profession in Rome for over twenty-five years. "Of course, we got to talking over old times in "Washington, and about the boys in our day. Incidentally he mentioned the boy who was my partner on the street-sweeping transaction, and something put it into my head to tell of getting the flve-doilar gold piece. To my surprise, the Roman lawyer said: "I remember you both, a ad the particular night you speak of you wore a red comfort and your associate had a broom which had no handle. And
am the man who banded yon the fivedollar gold piece, which had lhe letters "E. It. L." cut on it.' 'Of course. I handed him the coin, which, as you may imagine, was somewhat worn, for I carried it for many years on my watch chain. "We spent a very pleasant week together, and on my return there came with me two Roman scarfpins. One of them, you see. I wear. Dr. my dentist friend and street sweeping partner, has the other. Now, are you willing to agree with me that this Is a small world after all? To think had to go all the way to one of the first cities started in this world to find the owner of this coin."
Itoliei Among tht Znlna.
The South Africans still keep a firm hold on their superstitions ln spite of the efforts of the civilized English reformer and the British soldier Prob ably the Zulus are the most intelligent race of black men on the globe to-day --."00.000 of them dwell Just north of Natal, which has been developed of late until it is known as lhe garden spot of Africa.
One peculiar custom of the Zulus is the "smelling out" to discover a thief or criminal. Some cattle dio recently and a smelling out was held. Three hundred Zulus formed a ciicle. one half those who had lost cattle: the others had an interest in knowing who the sorcerer was. In th^ middle of the circle a dozen men c.ressed in palm leaves had buffalo hide drums hanging from their shouldc-rs. On these they beat while the circle moved slowly, the women crooniuir a weird song. This is the first process in catch ing the witch.
With as sudden shriek the priest his face streaked with white paint and wearing a pair of horns, sprang through the line and began to go through the wildest contortions, spin ning about on one foot and beating himself. All the time the women became more noisy, screaming loudly that the name of the witch be re vealed. When the priest had worked himself up to the point of collapse he abruptly ceased and retired to con suit his assistants. He was then sup posed to be naming the witch. The si lenre was tragic, and all present held their breath.
The priest walked into the middle of the circle again to the beating of the 'rums and looking ail about the circle twice, finally fixed his gaze. Every nne followed it. Part of the circle fell back, leaving one poor wretch stand ing alone. A gasp of relief went up from the others, who could hardly contain themselves while the priest described the horrible sorceries this man had used. After this the whole camp pounced on the witch and tore off his tharms, bracelets, his kuross or shield and took his weapons. The fel low was dragged to the banks of stream, where he pointed out the "ubuti," a little root in the edge of the water, which caused the death of the cattle. After that he was tortured.
