Washington, Nov. 8. The nnminl
gross cost of n complete rural frco
delivery sorivce throughout the
United States .will approximate $24,
000,000, according1 to the annual re
port which .first Assistant Postmas
ter General Wynne yesterday re
ceived from August V. Machcn, the
general superintendent of the serv
ice. The remaining 700,000 square
miles not now covered by rural free
dclifcry service, according to the re
port, will require the employment of
26,000 or 27,000 carriers in addition
to those now employed, making the
entire force of carriers when the ex
tension of the service is completed,
within the next thi'ee years 40,000.
After thlB extension is completed the
annual rate of increase in the appro
priations is expected not to exceed
eight or nine per cent., the rate
maintained in the other branches of
the postal service. To extend the
service 12,000 routes' a year until it
becomes universal, the report says,
will require such largely increased
appropriations that the annual post
office deficits for the ensuing two or
three years will probably reach $8,
000,000 or .$10,000,000, if not more;
but once the servlco is completed, the
additional revenue derived will soon
reduce the . deficits to present fig
ures, if not entirely wipe them out.
During: the year 1002 12,403 peti
tions for the service were filed, mak
ing a total on July 1 last of 22,040,
which excluded by over 2,000 the to
tal number during the preceding four
years. Since July petitions received
have averaged over 000 a month.
On July 1 last the city free de
livery service embraced 933 cities, in
cluding four in the insular posses
sions, and the total number of uni
formed letter carriers in the city
service was 17,87.1 ,as against 10,389
the previous year.

Guthrie, Ok., Nov. 8. Tn an au
thorized interview yesterday Con
gressman Flynn stnted that the Ok
lahoma election, no matter who may
now be declared delegate-elect to
congress from the territory, will
thwart the passage of any kind of a
statehood bill, for the renson that the
senate is jealous of creating new
states nnd would see in the close
vote of the territory a pretext to
defeat statehood legislation.

i Beardsloj', who was appointed post

years. He is the oldest postmaster in
the United States.
It i not in the south that the rich
est negroes are found, although manyi
in that region have amassed a goodly
store of property since the war.
Doubtless the wealthiest community
of colored people in the world is found,
among tho Creek Indians inlndinn ter
ritory. There are about 7,000 of them,
and they are worth, on an average $3,000
each. The wealth of the more industri
ous foots up oven higher, certain indi
viduals' being the owners of from $10,
000 to $15,000 worth of land each, saya
a local exchange
Theso negroes are the descendants' of
slaves of the Creek tribe of Indians and
are known as Creek negroes. They are
entitled to a share in the division of
Creek Indian lauds, also a part of the
trust funds. Together the 7,000 ne
groesown 22,000,000 acres of land. And
yet their education is far from com
plete. Their social environment are
crude in the extreme and progress1 goes
slowly amid their hutsand fields.
Unlike the other Indians of the rich
five civilized tribes, the Creeks insisted
upon freeing their slaves' to give them
an equal share in their lands1 nnd
money. At that time there were few
slaves, but the number grew through
descendants-, until now fully 7,000 have
laid successful claim to a "head right"
on the Creek rolls'of citizenship. They
have thoir own representatives in the
Creek Indian legislature, their own
schools nnd their own churches.
Everything bids fair to make them
the model community of negroes in
the United States when Indian terri
tory is recovered from the tangle
wilderness of reconstruction, its laws
made uniform nnd itself a state of the
union.
There is little culture among the
Creek negroes. They have a social set
all their own, to which nott even rtho
Indians- are invited. Their character
istics are in a great measure different
from the negro of the south or the
north. It is a mixture of both, with
additional peculiarities.
Like the Indians, these negroes havo
their dances1 in the open, which havo
come to be a sort of religion with them.
And, following in the footsteps of the
southern negro, they have barbecues,
'possum hunts' and the like. As a
northern typo of the negro they are
more Industrious and independent of
the whites, know how to work hard
nnd savethcir money.and, like the typo
from the city, are well dressed gaudi
ly, but at the same time wearing ex
pensive clothes.
Notwithstanding that many of theso
Creek negroes are industrious, there
are some among them who rent out
their estates' and lounge in idleness1
about the railway stations. It is a
common .sight to see a 500-acre tract
of rich land in the Canndian bottoms
being tilled by a white man. Invari
ably, upon inquiry as to his landlord,
he will refer to the negro owner in
no complimentary terms. Meanwhile
one will find the owner shooting craps
or enjoying himself eating turkey nnd
'possum in a neighboring village.
When the Creeks freed their negroes
in 18(54 the two fraternized for a time,
and even intermarried, but that, has
all passed now. In accordance with the
terms granting their freedom, the
Creek negroes are allowed a voice in
the tribal government, and so they
hnve their own members in the coun
cil, have tlieiv own sclioolsand all that;
but the Creek Indian feels above the
Creel; negro and refuses to associate
with him-

November Colds Should Not Be Al
lowed to Develop Into Chronic
Catarrh.
Pe-runa Cures a Cold Promptly and
Permanently.
"lam glad to recommend Peruna as
it has done so much forme. Iliad been
a great sufferer from catarrhal coldsun
til I was urged to try Peruna, and I am
happy to bay that it has entirely cured
me. 1 shall never bo without it and
most cheerfully recommend it to others
who are afllictcd as I havo been."
Knthorino Dautcr, 239 13th St., Mil
waukee, Wis.
Most people think the success of Pe
runa depends upon the use of advertise
ments. Undoubtedly tho advertise
ments help some. Uutby far the great
est number of peoplo who hear of Pe
runa, havo their uttention called to it
by a friend.
Some ono gets cured of chronic ca
tarrh by Peruna. After ho is certain of
his cure, ho is sure to recommend it to
his friends. Friend recommends it to
friend and tho news spreads from
tongue to tongue.
All the advertisements In the world
could not make Peruna as popular as
It Is. Peruna cures. That is the rea
son people like it. Peruna cures a
very stubborn disease. That is why
everyone recommends It. Peruna
cures chronic catarrh after nil other
remedies fail, which explains why
neighbor rccom
mends it to neigh-' "
bor. Peruna cures
catarrh permanent
ly, and this way has gained
a ma-long menu.
Peoplo who have been cured by
Peruna many years ago havo been
eager to recommend Peruna to their
friends over siuce. This is the way Pe
runa is advertised. It advertises ithclf.
Its merits are its chief advertisement.
Once cured of so distressing and exas
perating a malady as catarrh, it becomes
the duty of every ono to pass it along;
to call the attention of those who are
still victims, to a remedy that rarely
fails to cure.
react
Ilownro of Cheap Imitations of
ru-im Ho Sure- Tliat You
Pc-riMin.
There are no substitutes for Peruna.
Allow iioono to persuade you thatthero
is something justas good. Tho success
of Peruna has tempted many people to
devise cheap imitations, lloware of
them. Ho suro that you got Peruna.
Miss Jennie Driscoll, 870 l'utnam ave.,
Brooklyn, N. Y., writes:
' I heard so much in praise of Peruna
as aspecific for catarrhal affections that
when I found myself with n bad case pi
cntHrrh of the head and throat Penan
was the first thing that I thought at.
And my convictions wero Hot wrong,
for in a few weeks after using Peruna
systematically I was entirely rid of thiH
aggravating nnd distressing discaHO,
catarrh. ""
"If peoplo knew how efficient Po
runa was for this troublo they would
not hesitate to try it. I havo all Iho
faith in the world in it, nnd havo novoi
known of a enso whoro tho person was
not cured in a short time." Jennie
Driscoll.
If you do not derive prompt nnd satis
factory results from the uso of Peruna
write at once to Dr. Hartman, givlng-a
full statement of ymir enso and ho will
bo pleased to give you his valuablo ad
vico gratis.
