G. Gilliland, Maple 18 Minnie Cole, 18 Have You! Heard Of You may have heard about SCOTT'S EMULSION and have a vague notion that it is cod-liver oil with its bad taste and smell and all its other repulsive fea-1 tures. It is cod-liver oil, the purest and the best in the world, but made so palatable that almost everybody can take it. Nearly all children like it and ask for more. SCOTT'S EMULSION looks like cream; it nourishes the wasted body of the baby, child or adult better than cream or any other food in existence.

It bears about the same relation to other emulsions that cream does to milk. If you have had any experience with other so-called "just as good" preparations, you will find that this is a fact. The hypophosphites that are combined with the cod-liver oil give additional value to it because they tone up the nervous system and impart strength to the whole body. 5oc. $1.00.

John Wilkin was in Winfield Saturday. He is busy these days building and repairing fences. He has great trouble with a gang of bad boys led by Eddie Greer and Charlie Mcintire. They persist in climbing on his fences and tearing holes in them. U.

M. Scott complains of another gang of bad boys led by Tommie Eckert. They have almost ruined some of his best fences. These bad boys ought to be taught a lesson. R.

C. Bourdette arrived Tuesday night from Cuba, and did not enjoy our snow storm a little bit. He gays the people are eating vegetables fresh from the garden down there, and! he enjoyed several dishes of fresh ripe strawberries before he left. His descriptions do not tally at all with those of his brother Doug and other dissenters. He has the signed statements of 250 practical farmers, who say the country where the new colony is located is all right.

Emperor "Bill," not he of Germany, but of America, is treating his colonial subjects with less consideration than the imbecile George III treated his colonial subjects in America George III refused to receive representatives from his subjects, and spurned their petitions. So does President McKinley. George III sent governors to his colonies with final veto powers. So does President McKinley. George III imposed a stamp tax on his colonists.

President McKinley and his cuckoo congress impose a tariff tax on their colonists that is far more unjust and galling. It was bad enough to do those things in the name of monarchy. It is worse te do them in the sacred name of a republic. There are a lot of little old one-story buildings in the business portion of Winfield that would be a discredit to even a frontier town. It would be a splendid investment for the owners of these shacks to tear them down and put up good modern three-story buildings.

Local capital might also find first-class investment in the building of good dwelling houses There is a demand far greater than the supply. But it will probably not be done. Winfield capital has performed wonders, but it has been mostly away from home. There is not a played out town on the barren plains of the westerM frontier but the ghost of Winfield capital stalks amid its ruins. It is scattered all over Oklahoma, and reaches clear to the Texas coast.

It roams through the orange groves of California, and sleeps its last long sleep in the mining holes of Missouri and Arkansas. The rule has been -if you have capital, invest it elsewhere. Any old fool scheme will do, just so you don't use it to build up Wintield. A St. Louis "get rich quick" scheme got several thousands.

A "gold" mine in British Columbia got some more Poor old Cuba fleeced it a little. Even the women are biting at an endless chain silk skirt concern. If all the capital wasted in outside investments had been invested right here at home, we could have had a city of 50,000, and some people would have been better off and more contented. Stand up for Winfield. Admiral Dewey, General Merritt and the Philippines.

Hon. Murat Halstead, the worldfamous writer, correspondent and editor, will lecture on this subject at the Grand opera house next Monday night March 5. Personal association with these heroes and observation of the islands enables Mr. Halstead to lecture as an eye- witness, giving the most authentic information of the Philippine islands and people and makers of history there. This is the last attraction of the lecture course.

NUMBER 28. Dr. Kuehne delivered a very interesting and instructive lecture at his rooms in the Business and Academic college Saturday afternoon, on the subject, "The Road to Success." It is impossible to give an extended review, but he especially impressed on his hearers the importance of energy, purity, perseverance, diligence and concentration. The lecture was fine, and those who missed it missed an intellectual treat. Beginning next Sunday afternoon Dr Kuehne will deliver a series of Sunday afternoon lectures, from 3 to 4 o'clock.

JULIA B. KING, County Supt. THE DOCTOR'S MISTAKE. The doctor made a mistake in the number and called at the wrong house. No woman calls a doctor after she is once acquainted with the remedial value of Dr.
