Here’s a case: William Clift, 528 College St, Rensselaer, Ind., says: “I had kidney and bladder trouble and my back ached severely. I did not sleep well and was annoyed by a too frequent desire to pass the kidney secretions. I took doctor’s medicine and remedies of various kinds, but found no relief until I used Doan’s Kidney Pills. Since then my back has not troubled me and I have felt better in every way. It gives me great pleasure to endorse Doan’s Kidney Pills.” For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.

They went first to Glasgow, Scotland, where they purchased bicycles and on these went k distance of 2,200 miles through Scotland and England, visiting especially the cathedral towns. They then went to Frapce and employed the bicycles for considerable travel before selling them in Paris, where they spent tetween two and three months. There they mad a study of sketching and architecture. They then went to Stuttgart and Munich, and are at the latter place at this time. Their future plans are to visit Switzerland, Italy, including Rome and Venice and the island of Sicily. They will then go to Tunis and Algiers- in Africa. Thehce to Gibralter and through Spain. In March they expect to sail from Gibralter for home and Alban will engage in business as an architect, probably in Chicago. Jt is to better equip himself for his chosen business that he is studying architecture in foreign countries.

Deposits in Local Postal Savings Bank Total $5,073.

There are 43 accounts remaining open at the local postal savings bang, the postoffice, with a total amount on deposit to date of $5,073.. This money is redeposited in the First National Bank, which was designated by the department to receive the funds. Money deposited in the postal savings bank draws interest at the rate of 2 per cent per annum. It is the acme of security, as the government thus becomes your banker. Five years ago when there was a great amount of talk about the guarantee of bank deposits the law was enacted. The ‘public, .however, has used it in a limited way, and evidently most people prefer having their funds deposited where they can be checked upon as a matter of business convenience.

Parks’ farm in Newton township, west of Surrey, occupied by Mrs. Jerome Harmon, son and daughter, was totally destroyed by fire Tuesday evening. The fire sas discovered at about 6 o’clock, when the entire south roof of the house was enveloped in flames. Mrs. Hannon and two children removed what things they could from the house, but the flames spread so rapidly that only a few articles of clothiiig and bed-clothing were saved.

Entertained a Number of Old Friends of Visiting Relatives.

Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Learning, C. G. Spitler and Miss Maud Spitler entertained at dinner Tuesday evening in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Marion L. Spitler, of Oklahoma City, several of their old friends, at the residence of Miss Spitler on Van Rensselaer street. Mrs. Spitler has been here for, some time, her husband coming only a week ago and being unable to remain longer than today, when both will start on the return trip. The evening was spent in pleasant recollections of the days when most of the party were young people in Rensselaer and the changes of the fleeting years made the reunion a very .enjoyable one. All were interested in listening to Mr. Spider’s discussion of A 1 Jennings, now an Oklahoma City attorney, the former convict, whose life story has been published in The Saturday Evening Post and read so extensively all over the country. The rapid growth and the Cnsuing increase in the value of real estate, accompanied by the success and failure of many identified with the early days of Oklahoma City, 'as told by Mr. Spitler proved interesting. At this time the oil fields in various parts of Oklahoma are attracting attention. The operatives in the fields have their ups and downs as they meet with successes and failures, and their wealth is usually in prospect rather than fact. However, many have been very successful in the oil fields, and among them Mr. Phelps, son-in-law of J. Frank Warren. Mr. Warren and U. M. Baughman have been very successful in Oklahoma City, where Mr. Spitler also has an excellent legal practice. A. C. Farmer, who was caught by the breakers of 1908, and who lost out quite' entirely, moved to San Diego, Cal., where it is reported he is getting a good start. Mr. Spitler is convinced that the future of Oklahoma City is to be one of steady and dependable growth and that it will be the great city of the southwest. Its preent population is about 70,000. Many of Mr. Spitler’s friends were unable to see him at all while here, as he came especially to see his mother and remained with her almost all of his time. It was his first visit in five years and was entirely too short - to suit his many old friends.

Match It—Who Can I Twenty years ago a gentleman In Rensselaer took out a Three Thousand 20'payment life policy In the Northwestern Mutual. Herewith I give the settlement of this policy . this week: Earnings . $706.13 Cash Value ..$1,445.73 Total Cash .. $2,151.86 Premium $90.36 for twenty years, $1,807.20. This gentleman had $3,000 protection for twenty years, and the grand old Northwestern Mutual paid him back $344.66 more than it cost him, or almost 414 per cent on his money Invested. 7 X have other Instances equally good of settlements in this county recently made. If you want life insurance you are entitled to the best, and the Northwestern has demonstrated time and again that it Is . the best company for the policy holder. A policy on your life would be the finest present you could give your wife. I defy any company anywhere to show the above result. This happened at home and right now. Do results actually shown appeal more than the wind of the agent? Remember, this company pany, and every policy holder is a booster. If you’re in the Northwestern you are glad to say so. “It’s right if I write it” ARTHUR TUTEUR, . District Ageat

WEATHER. Continued unsettled tonight and Thursday; probably occasional rains.

Onions to Give Away at Ed Oliver’s Newland Farm.

Ed Oliver has about 2,000 bushels of onions to give away. This is a liberal offer at a time when onions are worth more than a dollar a bushel, but there is a reason. The onions for market are required to meet certain conditions of size and the ones which Mr. Oliver offers to give away are the smaller or screened onions. They are just as good for general use, however, but there is no market for them amd onyone who wants onions may get them at the Oliver farm at Newland. Mr. Oliver’s generosity, however, does not extend to the point of free delivery.
