Attorney General Garland has
decided that the coal mine leases
in the Indian Territory are invalid
and it is probable that they will be
closed up. This is liable to create a
coal famine in some quarters and
especially in Texas. The govern
ment ought to adopt a policy of
some sort that will enable the coal
measures of all public lands, wheth
er they be on Indian territory or
elsewhere to to be utilized. It is a
great misfortune to the country
that at the beginning of our career
as an independent government, con
gress did not reserve the title to all
coal mines, to be worked under the
general supervision of the national
government. The coal monopoly
bids fair to be the most dangerous
in the country. Lincoln Journal.

attendant. Blind, Weeding and itching

Her fingers festered and several nails dropped off
stone time Ilcr limbs contracted by the fearful
ulceration, and for years she did not leave her bed.
ller weight was reduced from 125 to 60 lbs. Some
faint idea of her condition can be glean; d from
tucfact that three pound? of Cosmoline or oint

Finally the physicians acknowledged their defeat
by this Black Wolf, and commended the sufferer
to her all-wise Creator
Her husband hearing wonderful reports of Swift's
Specific (S. S. S ). prevailed on her to try it as a
last resort. She began its nsc under protest, but
oon found that lier system was being relieved cf
the poison, as the sores assumed a red and healthy
color, as though the blood was becoming pure and
active. Mrs. Cailcy continued the S.S.S. until last
