Guthrie, Okla., May 21.—The state
board of agriculture today issued a
proclamation placing a ban upon the
shipment of cattle into Oklahoma
that are infected with tuberculosis.
-\ 11 cattle intended for breeding or
dairy purposes must be accompanied i js nia,ie by lmv for Idling hi
by a health certificate issued by a js the opinion of Attor
state or federal veterinarian in the
state of origin before they will be ad-
mitted to he unloaded in the state of
Oklahoma, the certificate to show
that the cattle have undergone the
tuberculin test and have been found
free* from any infectious orcontagious
diseases. I his rule /Iocs not apply to
the shipment of cattle to slaughter-
ing pens within thi^ state where regit
ar inspection is maintained or to the
I shipment of cattle into Oklahoma for
feeding or grazing where final dis-
tillation is to be northern or eastern
I markets.
Guthrie
officer elected under the old munici-
pal election law holds until his r.
cessor is elected and qualified an-l
that where no provision i> made tor
the office under the new city election
law, the officer Tiolds over for an in
definite period until some provision
>fikc,
ney General
West to J. L. Gault of Vian.
The town marshal of Vian was
elected April, 1908, but the Taylor
bill passed by the last legislature
made no provision for the election
of town marshal. The opinion there
fore holds that the town marshal of
Vian continues to hold his oiiic mi
til some legal method is provided I",
electing his successor, and that the
only way a new marshal could l « ap
pointed would be through the re-ig
nation, death or removal from oflu\
of* the present incumbent.

Warrants were issued by County At-
torney Benjamin Franklin today

Guthrie, Okla., May
-tale institutions that have expended
the appropriations made for them by
the first legislature to cover main-
tenance to June 30 of this year will
probably have to skirt close to the
shore, flir state board of public af-
tairs will not gn beyond the appro-
pi ..tion made for the lis,;,I vear, and
in all ca-es money appropriated bv
the last legislature does not become
available until July 1, 1909.
Appropriations made for specific
purposes, it has been held, can not be
used for anything else, and when spe-
cial funds become exhausted, no more
money will be available until the new
appropriation bill is effective. Some
of th, in-titulions havf plenty of
money, while others are about broke.
The board believes it has no authori-
ty to create a deficiency, hence will
hold the institutions to their appro-
priations.
BONDS SOLD.
The bond issue of $885,000 recent-
ly voted by the people of Oklahoma
(ity, according to the Oklahoman
of the 19th inst. was sold on the 18th
by the city council to McCoy &
Company of New York for a prem-
ium of $17,700, and that the next
highest bidder was R. J. Edwards of
Oklahoma City who offered $15,-
487.50 premium for the entire issue.
Strange as it may seem they ac-
tually received bi.ls for the bonds,
21 Those ! so'1' ''lcm to the best advantage.
Now what do you think of that?
And again the bond issue included
$400,000 for parks and boulevards,
$200,000 for sewer extension, $1^0,-
000 for water extension, $100,000 for
fire extension, $35,000 for a city jail.
Now why are they keeping the mon-
ey derived from the sale of those
bonds separated? Can any one tell?
Oh, just because the law don't per-
mit them to be used for any other
purpose, than for that which they
were voted.

Davis. Okla., May 21.—It became
known here today through the at-
torney- in the case *that a case of
more than local interest was filed on
Saturday last in the district court of
the county. The First National Bank
and the Merchants and Planters Na-
tional hank of Davis, Okla., through
their attorneys, Hawaii & Patrick, lil
ed suit and prayed for injunction re-
straining the county treasurer and
tax lerret further proceedings in the
levy or assessment or collecting of
taxes against them. The application
was prayed for on the grounds that
the matter at issue had been passed
upon by tin hoard of equalization
and its finding was final.
That all property subject to taxa-
tion had been rendered. That the la.v
under which the officials were pro-
unconstitutional and
reason that the power
\ -i'd in thi county
too i lcertatn and in-
terim and tl'a. the of-
f tribunal with
constitution so
ceeding wa*
void for the
attempt to I
treasurer wa
i!efinite in it?
ficer was not a court 1
in the meaning of the
that he could pa>s upon property i
right, and for the further reason that '
the appellate power granted to the '
county judge was beyond the juris- j
diction of the county court as pre- }
scribed in the constitution. Judge
McMillan granted the temporary or-
der. I
WE PLEAD GUILTY
In voting waterworks bonds
extend and improve the waterworks
system ever piece of property in tli<
city should become liable for it-
proportion of the interest « 11 said
bonds would draw during the ?5
years of their existence and al.-o for
its proportion of tin m<>n<y i
sary to pay off tile bonds. The pcopl<
voted for this encumbrance to 1>
placed on their property, in th be
lief at least, that while it encumbered
their property, it would enhance the
value ot the property by bringing tin-
property in contract with the water
works system every property owner
in the city i> entitled to tin enhanred
value a water works service inn
would give to his propertv . provided,
the waterworks bond fund i- -uftici
tut to put in the service line in con
ncction with the construction <>f tin-
waterworks system in a business like
manner. The constitution ot the •
was framed for the purpose of j,r,
venting city councils from defeating
the expressed w ill of the p< <>pl<. I h
people of Norman should figure on
the value that a water service line ad
jaccnt to their property would giv
to their property, and this will gi\
them some idea of what this paper
is trying to save them in dollars and
cents, by demanding that all of the
money that people voted to be used
in extending and improving tin-
waterworks system he used as pe >
pie directed. If to insist that the will
of the people be carried nut by the
the city council is a crime in telling
lis to be characterized a a knock* r,
then call us a knocker and a howler
