GOOD THINGS TO EAT.

ARTICLES SERVED WERE OF THE MOST TEMPTING KIND AND WERE PREPARED BY MRS. SWAN, PROFESSIONAL COOK.

Porter house steaks three inches Ihirk hcfore eookinc and linlf that

thickness when served with the finest jrravy you ever tasted; baked potatoes that burst under a slight pressure of the fork; macaroni and cheese that was as fine as custard pie; hot biscuits browned to a nicety; toothpicks and big red-cherries all this and then more. That the the kind of a beefsteak supper fit for asking served a number of the business men and newspaper "fellows" by Frank I,ane, manager of the Light. Heat & Power company last evening. The meal was served in a room on the first floor of the "Weatcolt Hotel. It was not a hotel menu, however. It was prepared by Mrs. Swan, the professional demonstrator of the economical use of artificial gas. Every man who partook of the suiper may have some; woman friend he likes better than any other but every man that partook of the meal will unite in declaring the viands were the best he ever ate. It is all right for a reporter to make such a statement ns he will not have to face the irate wife today, but even Mis. Housekeeper, Mrs. Hank President, Mrs. Editor, Mrs. Manufacturer and all the other mesdames would say it is true every word of it, if they had been so fortunate as to sit. in at that supper. The affable local manager of the power company presided as host at the head of the table. Mrs. .Swan manipulated the ovens and put in and extracted from them the dishes of choicest viands. She was ably assisted by the Misses Holthouse and Weisbrodt and the other members of the company's office force as waiters. Every one did his part and the largest part was done by him who ate.

All INDIAHEMETEBY High Waters Wash Out Relics Of Pioneer Days When Indians Ruled.

NEAR SCENE OF OLD FORT.

Logansport, March 21. A washout caused by the high water in the river the past, two weeks has revealed an old Indian burying ground near the mouth of Wea creek down the river. Yesterday a number of Indian skulls, deer antlers and other relics were picked up by persons who happened to be passing along the river bank. The washout where the old burying ground was found is located on the east bank of the river a quarter of a mile below the German National club. This would make it very near the point where the old "Wea creek originally emptied into the river. Fort Ouiatenon was located on the west side of the river directly opposite the mouth of old Wea creek. The fact that the old French Jesuit mission stood opposite the burying ground just diclosed by the washing out of the river bank is evidence that this is where many of the dead were buried in the early days. During past years skulls have been unearthed from the high ground on the other side of the river. The French fort was on one side of the river and a large Indian village stood at the mouth of the Wea on the side of the river where the bones were found yesterday. Tf there was any doubt about the location of Ouiatenon. the finding of these bones will remove iL

which Frank Tanner, a Delaware half- i breed, 21 years old. is the chief figure. Spirited away by two wealthy oil men j whirled from one end of the state to j the other in an automobile, wined and i dined most luxuriously, and finally, as, the hour of his twenty-first birthday ; neated, entertained in an Enid hotel while a rival oil man was hurrying io town on a special train. Tanner signed a lease which gave to his hosts the j right to develop his llo-ano allotment, i pronounced by experts to be fabulously j rich in oil and gas deposits. For the, lease, which does not expire for twenty years. Tanner received S'jumo cash. , He is to get one-eighth of the royalties. J Oil producers say lie will be worth a million in a few years. The fight over j the big game was exciting. Charles ,1. Wrightsman, of Tusla. with W. Hon- j nolle, of Batesville, and A.. I. Tillot-; son, a member of the legislature from Nowata county, found in W. O. Sinclair, a wealthy oil producer of Independence ; Kansas, a bar to the coveted lease. I Bid Raised by $5,000. j Sinclair, who represented Pittsburg capitalists, had had a contract with! young Tanner, but the Oklahoma pro-: ducer raised his bid by $.",.immi. Of course, the Kansan was willing to tneif th raise, but h- could not get

in toucn wiwi the Indian. uepoateu inquiries at iiis home in Xotawa only disclosed the information that he had disappeared. Sinclair was frantic. He saw thousands slipping through his fingers, but there was time yet to act. for Tanner could not simi the lease until be was of age. When the first scene of the drama opened the young Delaware lacked nearly two weeks of

being 21. Ilis disappearance, created 1 excitement. Sinclair did not stop to sympathize with the family. He knew instinctively thai the lease had something to do with the unaccountable absence of the Indian. Ilis detectives j telegraphed lo every part of the stale, j Descriptions of the missing youth ' wore forwarded to the police of every important town in northern Oklahoma j but the dragnet brought no desults.

Stumbles Or.to Trail. j A week passed and Sinclair had es-' tablished no clew. Finally, as in despair ho was giving up the quest, the Kansas producer stumbled on the trail Tanner was in Guthrie. It was Sunday and the hotel lobbies were crowded with politicians. Detectives arrived on the scene, to find that Tanner had registered at one of the large hotels. But he was gone. Then Sinclair learned the Indian was in Oklahoma City, thirty miles away. He wired his detectives to detain Tanner at any cost. Sinclair's detectives struck the trail. It was easy to follow. The Indian and three others were in a big red motor car. They traversed the city with the inconsistency of tourists on pleasure bent. They went to a fire. The; detectives followed in a machine. He lost, them in the smoke and confusion, but picked them up again down town. The job looked like a sinecure, lie had an assistant telephone Sinclair that he had the party "on the line." His plans were quietly to keep the trail until his employer arrived. Then an absurd thing occurred. The detective was arrested. In vain he protested and demanded to know by what right he was detained from indulging in a peaceful ride. Charges Unfounded. The police officer was obdurate and the indignant detective was guided to the police court. He easily satisfied the magistrate that the charge against him was unfounded and he was released. In the meantime the red automobile had gone. The darkness had swallowed the party and the asphalt left no tracks. The pursuer and his chauffeur scoured the city until morning They visited the hotels and rooming houses, and finally gave it up. The trumped-up arrest had cooked the goose of t'ne Oklahoma City detective. Sinclair arrived to hear a gloomy report and voluminous "it's." Sinclair was nearly wild as he saw the minutes slipping away, and with them the hopes of beating his. opponents. He knew without asking that Tanner's companions were his rivals. He called the roll of his hotel acquaintances and frankly told them of his plight. That way he raised the "pot." One man lent $50. another $25 and so on until the $250 was gathered. Race Against Time. Then it was a race against time. The engine with one car shot into the darkness, while the tenacious oil man clung to his seat in the swaying coach, his watch clasped in one hand. Up in the cab the engine driver watched the hands go around. The track was poor. Up and down grade, over the mushy roadbed, shrieking for the crossings as town after town flashed by the special ate up the miles. The speed was scarcely checked for the curves and the abbreviated train hugged the rails by a miracle. The pace was never slackened until the lights of Enid suddenly came forward to meet the bolt of iron and steam and the special stopped abruptly at the station. Before it reached a standstill a dark figure leaped from the rear steps and ran toward a hotel over the mud clogged streets and slippery sidewalks. Straight up to a room on the third floor it hurried

New York, March "Jl. Quite by mistake Carlotta Reidle threw cold water on the early courtship of L-aac Marks whom she married in City Hall. It was this way: Marks, who has a pretty home at Flat bush avenue. Brooklyn occupied a

front seat at the Hippodrome at a recent performance. He was all intent on the antics of a score of beauties who were preparing to dive into a tank of water on the stage. In order to get a better view he leaned forward. As the girls struck the water there was a pailful of water struck Marks fairly in the face. He was mopping his face and seeking to rearrange his dismantled collar and cravat when Miss Keirile peeked over the edge of the tank and saw his predicament. She was convulsed with laughter, but managed to shout roguishly : "Really. 1 didn't mean to do it:" Marks forgot his (lit-conit it ure instantly and replied: "h was worth ii to see you dive." "There's a good natured man." MisReidle told her mermaids. "I would like to meet him." Marks was no less impressed hy the vivacity of the blackcyed beauty. Through an official of Ihe Hippodrome who was his friend. an introduction was arranged. The courtship was brief and the young couple were married by Mayor McClellan.

When Digestion Stops Anger or excitement may stop digestion, even when the stomach is strong. Then Kodol becomes an instant necessity, for digestion must go on. Kodol digests all sorts of foods. Please note our guarantee.

It is wrong to suffer from indigestion, when Kodol nieaiis instant relief. Please let it digest your food. If your ankle was lame you would aid it. Tf the body was weak yon would ret it. It is far more important to rest the weak stomach. Not by dieting, for that means partial starvation. The body requires many sorts of food. To cut out some elements means to rob some parts. But let Kodol, for a little time, do what the stomach can't do. Then see how quickly the stomach recovers.

Undigested food grows hard, and irritates the stomach lining. It causes inflammation sometimes ulceration. That is the source of the pain. It also ferments and forms gas. It decays and breeds germs. And those germs load the biood with their poisons. That leads to serious troubles. Don't think that the stomach can ever get strong while those conditions continue.

! and fell to pounding on a door. The lights inside went up and the door ' was thrown open. "Oh. hello. Sinclair." I said a man in pajamas. "Come right t in. We've been looking for you. Have ! a oh, the lease? That was 'signed a j minute after midnighi. It 's 12:05 now. Tanner? Oil, bo's in bed. Have soniej thing to take the chill off.'" That was I how Wrightsman greeted his crest I'alion rival. It was as he said. One ! minute after tho dawn of Tanner's

birthday the lease had been signed.

Kodol consists of all the digestive elements, in highly concentrated form. It digests all sorts of food, and completely. It does all that the healthiest stomach can do. l'ensin is part of it, but pepsin digests albumen only. Starch requires something else, fat something else. Kodol combines all that is needed. Digesters which denend solely on pepsin do only what pepsin does. They are but half-way treatments. Other elements are just as essential, and they must be in liquid form. That Is why Kodol is liquid. And. because it is liquid, like the digestive juices, its action is In

stant. 1; even begins in the mouthing the flow of saliva.

-by increa-

The action of Kodol can be easily proved, either in the stomach or out of it. Eat what you need of the food that you want, and take Kodol. Note the absence of pain and gas. You know to a certainty that the food is digesting. Or you jrn see it digest food in a test tub under proper conditions. In these laboratory tests, Kodol digests every whit of the food, just as it does in the stomach. All other digester digest but part of the food, just as they do in the stomach. LHm't employ half-way measure, for the stomach needs complete relief. Any undigested food will, through irritation, interfere with the cure. Nothing but Kodol does all that must be done. No other digester can digest all foods.

Our Guarantee

We ask you to prove these statements at on risk. Buy a dollar bottle of Kodol. and ask for the signed guarantee. If the results are not as claim -I. take the empty bottle back with th warrant, and your druggist will return your money. This offer applies to the large bdtle only, and to hut one in a family. This la sufficient to prove how much Kodol means to yoti. If you need relief, won't ym learn how to get it on such a fair offer as that? Kodol is prepared at the laboratories of E. C. DeWitt & Co.. Chicago. The $t.00 bottle contain 2Vi times as much as the 50c bottle.

room. He objected to being laughed at and asked Conner, who bad subpoenaed him as w itness, if he had been

brought no there to make a fool out of. Davis was asked by Conner, if he were not. a neighbor of the 'Thomas family. "Well no, not much of a neighbor in the last year." he answered. He stated he had heard Mrs. Thomas say "a right smart" about, her husband. He said, "Well she said Thomas was no account and said he ought to bo burned up and said she'd see him in hell." "What do you think of that?" he asked the attorneys and judge. Continuing he said: "Mrs. Thomas is a woman who works real hard on the farm and wanted to wear the breetches. One day I was helping Thomas load pumpkins and his wife came out into the field. Thomas had whipped the horses and I remonstrated. His wife said you, don't you strike those horses again. Now, I don't like to use the kind of language she did" and the man protested against the use of profanity. "Now let me tell von Mr. Davis." said Judge Fox. "The lawyers have the right, to ask you just what she said. You may consider that you are not swearing yourself, only repeating what the woman siid in your presence." Davis said he had heard Mrs. Thomas call her husband a mean old fool, damned devil and other names, some more vigorous and others not quite so strong. Davis stated he had heard Thomas cursa his wife, "but he always had cause, as she cursed him first." At this juncture it seemed as if Conner was trying to confuse the witness and with gesticulating hands and body leaning over in the chair, the aged man said: "Hold on here, now. You needn't think you got me up here to make a fool out of me. She always commenced on him. when he cursed her." Again Davis was pressed to repeat the names used and he informed Conner he does not write such things down in order to remember them. "She horned him every time he came to the house," he said. "I am not unfriendly to her but she has not treated him fair." Mrs. Augusta Bowsman, a sister of Mrs. Thomas testified to the fact her sister had come to her house seven years ago and later Thomas came. He wanted to take her home with him, but she refused. He cursed her, forced her into a corner and was about to strike her, when the witness stepped
