Making Good Makes Friends There is no way of making lasting friends like “Making Good”; and Dr. Pierce’s medicines well exemplify this, and their friends, after more than two decades of popularity are numbered by the hundreds of thousands. They have “made good” and they have not made drunkards. A good, honest square-deal medicine of known composition is I>r. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. It still enjoys an immense sale, while most of the preparations that came into prominence in the earlier period of its popularity have “gone by the board” and are never more heard of. There must he some reason for this long-time popularity and that is to be found in its superior merits. When once given a fair trial for weak stomach, or for liver and blood affections, its superior curative qualities are soon manifest; hence it has survived and grown in popular favor, while scores of less meritorious articles have suddenly Hashed into favor for a brief period and then been as soon forgotten. For a torpid liver with its attendant indigestion, dyspepsia, headache, perhaps dizziness, foul breath, nasty coated tongue, with bitter taste, loss of appetite, with distress after eating, nervousness and debility, nothing Is as good as Ur. Fierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It’s an honest, square-deal medicine with all its ingredients printed on bottle-wrapper—no secret, no hocus-pocus humbug, therefore don't accept a substitute that the dealer may make a little bigger proht. Insist on your right to have what you call for. Don’t buy I*r. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription Expecting it to prove a “ cure-all.” It is only advised for woman’s special ailments. It makes weak women strong, sick women well. Less advertised than some preparations sold for like purposes, its sterling curative virtues still maintain its position in the front ranks, where it stood over two decades ago. As an invigorating tonic and strengthening nervine it is unequaled. It won’t satisfy those who want “ booze,” for there is not a drop of alcohol m it. Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets, the original Little Liver Pills, although the first pill of their kind in the market, still lead, and when once tried are ever afterwards in favor. Easy to take as candy. They regulate and invigorate Stomach, Liver and Bowels.

According to the recent reports of the Oklahoma State geological survey headquarters at Norman, Okla., and of the United States Geological Survey, the coal region in the eastern part of the State of Oklahoma, especially near the City of Coalgate, is a part of the great coal region. This region extends as far as Ft. Smith, Ark., on the east. It is certain, however, that It is only in parts of this field laid out by the scientists that coal can be mined successfully and profitably. The mining region surrounding Coalgate and Lehigh is one of these favored parts, and the mines take rank with those of McAlester and other great coal centers of the State, give employment and good pay to thousands of men, and make “Little Coal" one of the most important counties in the great new State. This is known as “deep coal.” The coal, lies in slopes, like a hillside, and is mined from 300 to 700 feet below the surface. This would seem a serious handicap to the operators, but there are favorable conditions in the thickness of the vein and quality of the product which more than off-

set this apparent disadvantage, and I enable these mines to compete sue-; ' cessfully with the shallow or surface | coal fields. Coal was discovered first in that ! vicinity in 1882, at Midway, three miles south of I^high. This Is still i a paying mine and is now operated | i by tlie Folsom-Moore Company. Altogether there are now in the I district nine “openings,” as the miners say, located in the territory approximately eight miles north and south by three miles east and west. Dan Mclguighlin, local manager of the Coalgate company, at Coalgate, estimates the number of men In and about the mines at 2,500, whose wages will average $3.50 per day. This does not include the work of furnishing the timbers for the mines, which of itself may be said to form quite an industry, and consumes a small-sized forest each year. Most of the timbers are shipped from Tupelo, a little town on the Katy, fifteen miles west of Coalgate. The Western Coal and Mining Company operates three mines at Lehigh. The Missouri, Kansas & Texas Railroad has three mines and the Coalgate company one at Coalgate. The dally output of all the mines when working at fullest capacity, as they are now, is estimated at 30,000 tons. Prospecting lias been going on in the Tupelo neighborhood and the wise ones say that there is plenty of coal at a reasonable depth in that locality, which some day will make it the big mining center of the district. About 5,000 people live in Coalgate and 3,000 in Lehigh. This estimate Includes all who really live in both towns, and not those merely who live within tlie limits of the two litle territory town sites. At least one-half of the inhabitants of Coal County live within tlie bounds of the coal district. Comparatively few accidents have happened In this district, but a slight nifiu.'intance with the work will convince any one that the occupation of a coal digger is a dangerous one. The miner proper goes to work in the morning. He is let down the main shaft or entrance a few hundred or a few thousand feet, as the case may be, to his level. He then knows his “entry” to where his “room” is located. These entries in mines bear the same relation to the rooms where the miners work as streets do to, houses in cities. The main entries radiate from the main shaft, whichl cross entries connecting them where , necessary. On arriving at his room the miner clears away the coal blast-, ed away the night before and loads! it on the mule car which is in the

entry.

WIDE TIRES MAKE ROADS

Iteeatin' Farmer Says That Heavily Loaded Wagons Should Have Wide Tire Wheels.

OTHERS TEAR UP THE PAVEMENTS

Henry Hodges, a farmer, living near Greensburg, Decatur County, who has had experience as a landed proprietor and a public official in several counties, was saying to legislators recently that if they wanted to do something of real service to every one who drives or walks through the country, they should get behind the bill which Representative Tomlinson

has prepared.

“The average county, I venture to say,” he commented, “will expend $50,000 a year on roads. This large expenditure is made necessary by reason of the narrow tires of vehicles. There ought to be nothing narrower on heavy wagons than four inch tires. The narrow tire tears up the road; the wide one makes the road. That is the difference, and it ought to be recognized. The narrow tire, if the road is a bit soft, cuts into the pavement. If rain follows, the roal material is washed away, or if drought follows the road material is carried away in dust, not only thus exit :listing the road, but becoming a nuisance and a menace to health wherever it falls. The narrow tires also prepare tbyroad surfaces to be sco iped out bj tcfitomohiles. “Now the purpose ^f’the bill is to encourage the use of wide tires. To that end it will put a premium on the wide tire in the form of a graduated tax on all vehicles- the narrower the tire the higher the tax. The wide-tired vehicle will carry a very light tax. for it is really of service in packing the road. “There is some good sense behind this bill. We hear of many measures relating to road-keeping. Good rock roads are now worn out in a short time. And the gravel roads have to be constantly renewed. With the use of the wide tires farmers will get the first relief they have had in road repairing in a long time.”

Ignatius E. McNamee, representing Notre Dame University, won first place at the Indiana state oratorical contest in Tomlinson Hall, in Indianapolis, Friday with a brilliant oration on “Child Labor.” Mr. McNamee had a close competitor in Miss Janete Fenariiore of Earlham College, whose oratorical ability led many to put her in first place. .Miss Fenamor’s spirited defense of the principles of Socialism in her oration, “The Social Revolution,” won her second place, seven points lower than the winner of first place. Third place went to Walter H. Linn of Wabash, who spoke on “Democracy and tlie Individual.” Victor F. Westhafer of DePauw and Miss Harriet W. Elliott of Hanover tied for fourth place. Mr. Westhafer spoke on “The New Reform of Freedom.” a denunciation of child labor. The accomplishments of Maude Balltngton Booth with the prisoners of Sing Sing formed a topic for Miss Elliott In her oration, “In the Shadow of Prison Walls.” The judges placed Butler College, represented by D. F. Robinson, in fifth place and Franklin College, represented by Howard C. Whitcomb, in sixth place. Both orations were on political subjects. Following is the standing as agreed by the judges:
