DOUBT EXPRESSED AS TO AC-
TION OF JUDGE IN LOT CASES
HOT UNDER DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Court Action in Drawing Jury of Six-
teen Not Consistent With the
New Law—Say There Must
Be Twenty-Four
Washington, D. C.—The wide publi-
city which the department of Justice
is giving the fact that the towa lot
fraud cases in Oklahoma are to be re-
opened and a new grand jury sum-
moned, Indicates that the government
proposes a campaign of publicity in
this matter so far as not permitting
the cases to drop is concerned.
And there may be method in this.
It will be noted that the department
instrructs the district attorney to ask
the court of the western district for
a new grand jury. There is consider-
able doubt expressed here whether
there is any law under which tha
judge can summon a grand jury in
conformity with the decisioii of Judge
Marshall.
Thhe difficulty lies in finding a pro-
vision of law now which will permit
drawing a grand jury of sixteen men,
as was the law in the old western dis-
trict. The law now requires that
24 jurors shall be drawn. The atten-
tion of the attorney general was call-
ed to this difficulty by a number of
lawyers who were consulted in the
matter, ar\d this was one of the rea-
sons for t 'e delay of the department
in deciding what course to pursue.
The district Utorney, unlike the court
is under the direct jurisdiction of the
department of justice. So it is up to
the judge to determine whther n
new grand jury can be drawn for con-
sidering tibe Haskell cases.
It was stated Monday by a mail in
close touch with the department that
the course of the attorney general
should not have been unexpected, ss
there was nothing else he cou'.l lio
under the circumstances and that it is
up to the courts to determine whether
a grand jury can or shall be sum-
moned for the purpose indicated.
It is openly hinted here that the
department would not be seriously dis-
appointed should the Oklahoma judge
fail to find a legal way to summon
a grand jury, as that would relievo
the department of .any furtherr re-
sponsibility or embarrassment in the
matter.
GOVERNMENT LOSER IN FIGHT
Ruling of Supreme Court Favors the
Railroads on Commodities
Washington, D. C.—It has been
many a day since a decision of the
supreme court of the United States
has been received with so much in-
terest as was manifested Monday in
the decision of that court in what are
known as the "commodities clause"
cases, growing out of the Hepburn
rate law and affecting the anthracite
coal carrying roads. These case3
had been decided by the United States
circuit court for the eastern district
of Pennsylvania, favorably to the
railroajds in that the clause of the
Hepburn rate law, which prohibits in-
terstate railroads from carrying com-
modities manufactured, mined or pro-
duced, directly or indirectly, by the
roads. It was declared unconstitu-
tional and the general impression had
been that that decision would be af-
tirmeed by the supreme court. When,
therefore, there was a reversal instead
of an affirmation, the interest was
much magnified. \
Boosters Spend Night in Texas
Wichita Falls, Tex.—Speeding south
toward the Texas Panhandle the Okla-
homa Cily Trade Getters, who left Ok-
lahoma City on a special train at
12:05 Monday morning on their ninth
annual business asking excursion,
passed through one of the state's
garden spots and tarried briefly at
•some of the leading western towns.
Frederick was the last of those on the
north side of Red River to extend a
welcome.
"Wichita Falls was reached late on
Monday afternoon. The visitors were
given the real treat of the trip, a ride
on Lake Wichita, which was followed
by a banquet. G. B. Stone, one of the
Trade Getters, created a friendly feel-
ing between Wichita Falls and Okla-
homa in a speech based on the sub-
ject "Blest Be the Tie That Binds."
He referred to the railroad tie that
will be a link in the ultimate direct
connection of the two cities.
Klngflsheer, Okla.—Another bank
will open its doors In this city as
soon as the safe can be put in place.
Differences in Senate
Washington.—Set speeches In the
scivite 011 the tariff bill and the Intro-
duction of amendments by semtors in-
dicate that the differences of opinion
are likely to compel roll calls to fix
the rates on coal, oil, hld?s, lumber,
zinc and perhaps on both pig iron and
scrap iron.
Muskogee, Okla.—The contract ha
been let here for the St. Joseph's col-
lege, a Catholic school, which will be
erected at once at a cost of $60,000.
PAINT EVERY YEAR.
Mo One Wants to Do It, But Some
Paint Will Wear No Longer.
When you have a job of painting
done you don't expect to have it done
over again very soon. But to make
a lasting job, several things must be
taken into consideration—the proper
time to paint—the condition of the sur-
face—the kind of materials to use, etc.
All these matters are fully covered in
the specifications which can be had free
by writing National Lead Company,
1902 Trinity Building, New York,
and asking for Houseowner's Paint-
ing Outfit No. 49. The outfit also in-
cludes a book of color schemes for
both interior and exterior painting,
and a simple Instrument for detecting
adulteration in the paint materials.
The outfit will solve many painting
problems for every houseowner.
Meantime while buying paint see that
every white lead keg bears the famous
Dutch Boy Painter trademark, which
is an absolute guarantee of purity and
quality. If your paint dealer cannot
supply you National Lead Company
wiU see that some one else will.

RASH ALL OVER BOY'S BODY.
Awful, Crusted, Weeping Eczema on
Little Sufferer—A Score of Treat-

Cure Achieved by Cuticura.
"My little boy had an awful rash all
over his body and the doctor said it
was eczema. It was terrible, and used
to water awfully. Any place the water
went it would form another sore and it
would become crusted. A score or
more physicians failed utterly and dis-
mally in their efforts to remove the
trouble. Then I was told to use the
Cuticura Remedies. I got a cake of
Cuticura Soap, a box of Cuticura Oint-
ment and a bottle of Cuticura Re-
solvent, and before we had used half
the Resolvent I could see a change in
him. In about two months he was en-
tirely well. George F. Lambert, 139

Judge Will Wait and Sea.
An earnest plea was made by Attor-
ney Charles Pettijohn to Judge Prltch-
hrd of the criminal court for leniency
to a client who had entered a plea of
guilty to larceny. The burden of the
attorney's argument was that his cli-
ent was the father of twins and was
tempted to theft in order to feed the
mouths of the infants.
"Your honor, I will say frankly,"
said Mr, Pettijohn in closing, "that if I
were the father of twins and needed
food for my family, I would not hesi-
tate to go out and steal it."
"Mr. Pettijohn, when you are tlie
father of twins I will consider your
proposition," said Judge Pritchard.—

After a hard day in Wall street he
had been dragged by his spouse to the

to take a nap. In the midst of it he
was awakened by this in the most

dear?"
"Er—ah—yes—how mucl would you
say it's worth?" he murmured.

OLD SOAKERS
Get Saturated with Caffeine.
When a person has used coffee for a
number of years and gradually de
clined in health, it is time the coffee
should be left off in order to see wheth-
er or not that has been the cause of
the trouble.
A lady in Huntsville, Ala., says she
used coffee for about 40 years, and for
the past 20 years was troubled with
stomach trouble.
"I have been treated by many physi-
cians but all in vain. Everything failed
to perfect a cure. I was prostrated for
some time, and came near dying. When
I recovered sufficiently to partake of
food and drink I tried coffee again and
It soured my stomach.
"I finally concluded coffee was the I
cause of my troubles and stopped us- |
iug it. I tried tea and milk in its
place, but neither agreed with me, then [
1 commenced using Postum. I had it
properly made and it was very pleas-
ing to the taste.
"I have now used it four months, and
my health Is so greatly improved that
I can eat almost anything I want and
can sleep well, whereas, before, 1 suf-
fered for years with insomnia.
"I have found the cause of my trou-
bles and a way to get rid of them.
You can depend upon it I appreciate
Postum."

Mrs. Joannah Straw, 526 North
Broadway, Canton, S. D., says: "For
three years I suf-
fered everything
with rheumatism in
my limbs and a dull,
ceaseless aching in
my back. I was
weak, languid,
broken with head-
aches and dizzy
spells, and the kid-
ney secretions were
thick with solids. I
was really in a crit-
ical condition when I began with
Doan's Kidney Pills, and they certain-
ly did wonders for me. Though I am
81 years old, I am as well as the aver-
age woman of 50. I work well, eat
wel! and sleep well."

Early E .periences.
Some time ago an office boy, answer-
ing the telephone for the first time In
his life, and not knowing how to use
it, was told that when the bell rang
he was to answer it.
When, therefore, he heard it ring, he
picked up the receiver and shouted:
"Hello, who's there?"
The answer came back: "I'm 105."
"Go on," said the boy. "It's time
you were dead."
Beyond Expression
G. W. Farlowe, East Florence, Ala.,
writes: "For nearly seven years 1
was afflicted with a form of skin dis-
ease which caused an almost unbear-
able itching. I could neither work,
rest nor sleep in peace. Nothing gave
me permanent telief until 1 tried
Hunt's Cure. One application relieved
me; one box cured me, and though a
year has passed, I have stayed cured.
I am grateful beyond expression."

was the sound of a snapping twig in

the branches.
