Producers had been greatly encour-
ufed during the past two ur three
weeks at the propect that the regula-
tions of the Interior department which
have prevented pipe line construction
during the past two years would be
modified and the laying of the line per-
mitted. But even if this were to hap-
pen now the continued activity of the
attorney genera! makes It extremely
hazardous to Invest money in pipe lines
In this state, in the meantime, how-
ever, the producer* will continue their
efforts to make the secretary of the In-

APPOINTMENTS BY
ROOSEVELT
(By c. A Looney.)
Washington, Dec. It.—The attitude of
President Roonevelt toward* both
louse* of congress ha* brought about
a situation that may not be advanta-
geous to those person* who have been
appointed to office as personal appoint-
ment* of the president, requiring the
confirmation of the senate. The pres-
ident will he out nf office in less than
ninety days. The senate Is not Inclin-
ed to do anything that will show any
connideration for the president, other
than the strictest courtesy demand*
It is easy to hold up such appoint-
ments until March i Home that have
gone In have been held up. They may
remain that way untli President Roose-
velt retires from office, when President
Taft may make new appointments.
A prominent republican from Okla-
homa today said that he believed the
appointment of Miss Alice Robertson
a* postmistress at Muskogee would be
held up in this way The senate sim-
ply not acting upon It. The same-per-
son said he believed the confirmation
of Stephen Douglas a* postmaster at
Ardmore would lx* sent in before the
holidays. Miss Robertson's appoint-
ment was sent in at the same time.
24 FOOT SNAKE KILLED
BY FAST FREIGHT
TRAIN
'Skin" Tomlinson of Shawnee
Will Stuff Skin and Pre
serve Backbone
George Timmons, county surveyor of I
Pet* watt omit county, with headquar* j
ter* in Bhawnte. who was here today
on business, is the bearer of a weird
snake story but he aays it is true
nevertheless. He nays that while rid-
ing near Wewoka last week on a frieght
train. "fcfcin*’ Tomlinson, whose nick-
name is secured by being In the hide
business, captured perhaps the largest
snake ever seen la Oklahoma. Tomlin-
son saw the snake dart under the tram
and cried out to a brakeman who wa*
standing near him, "Did you see that
snake?” The brakeman said he had.
and when the train stopped at the
water tank a few hundred yards away
to water. Tomlinson and the railroad
man went hack to where they had
seen the reptile
The snake had tried to crons the
tracks and the wheels severed hts raon-
sterous body. The snake was the
largest that Tomlinson had ever *ern
and being a great curio collector, he
talked the brakeman into helping him
with the dirty job of loading the
snake'• body on the train. Tomlinson
took his "treasure** to 8h»wnee and
there skinned it. The snake was so
long that the hide man decided to pre-
serve Its vertlbra* He laid the snake
on two planks, one sixteen feet and
the other eight feet in length The
snake Just reached from the end of one
board to the end of the other, a dis-
tance of about twenty-foor feet.
Tomlinson will stuff the skin and
link the backbone of the reptile to-
gether and add them to hl» already
large collection. Just how* the snake
happened to be where It was killed Is
unknown. It !* not of any specimen
that l» found in Oklahoma and is extra
large. To give the readers an idea of
the enormous slxe of the snake, there
were three tub* of vltcra taken from
the reptile. It Is thought that the
snak«- escaped from some circus and
just wandered onto the right-of-way
when the train rolled by It probably
became frightened, and in lt» mad rush
to escai** the train rushed under the
car*.
In the snake's stomach wa* found
several quail, evidently Just swallowed
by the reptile, and two larg** swamp
rabbits.

And that’s the reason why Dr. Pierce’s Family Medicines are advertised so little now-a-days. They have
made hundreds of thousands of cures in the past 40 years, and some of the grateful people whom they
have restored to health are to he found almost everwhere. There’s scarcely a hamlet that don’t contain
some. Look them up. Interview them. They are living, walking, active advertisements
For Dr. Pierce’s Family Medicines.
You can believe your neighbors. Therefore ask them. What cured them will very likely curt you,
if similarly afflicted—only give them a good, fair trial.
It's a food, sound, common sense policy to use medicines only of KNOWN COMIKISITION, and which contain
neither alcohol nor habit-forming drugs. The most Intelligent people, and many ot the most successful, conscien-
tious physicians, follow this judicious course of action. The leading medical authorities, of all schools of medi-
cine, endorse the Ingredients composing Dr. Pierce's medicines. These are plainly printed on wrappers and
attested under oath. There's no secrecy; an open publicity, square-deal policy Is followed by the makers.
We have a profound desire to avoid all offense to the most delicate sensitiveness of modest women, for
whom wc entertain the most sincere respect and admiration. We shall not,
therefore, particularize here concerning the symptoms and peculiar ailments
incident to the sex for which Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription has for more
than 40 years proven such a boon. We cannot, however, do a better service
to the afflicted of the gentler sex than to refer them to Dr. Pierce’s Common Sense

At a public meet ng held in Broken

that in the opinion of those present
County Attorney Breckenrldge had not
done hi* full duty In endeavoring to
rid the town and county of law vio-
lators. However, before condemning
him the citizens thought it best to give
him an opportunity to be heard and an-
other meeting wa* called for Tuesday
evening and Mr Breckenridge invited
to be present. The county attorney
was there and thut he fully exonerated
himself and won ihe friendship and
cord al good will of ai| Broken Arrow-
Kes is evidenced by the following re-
port* from the two local papers :
The Broken Arrow I-edger (Republl*
an), aays :
"Mr. Breclenrldge *ent word to
Broken Arrow that he would be cn hund
to uddre** the people Tuesday night.
The fckmth M. E. church was thrown
open and the meeting held there. The
huri h was crowded. Mr Breckenrldge
completely vindicated himself In his
iddres*. He gave his reasons for his
action* which had been called Into
question and showed that he was do-
if his duty all along the line. Mr
Williams then spoke for a few min-
•ite*. On a motion a vote of thanks was
endured the state's attorney for his
m- ’'vpM'nn end (tiro to uphold the*
ounty officials in their great battle
with the liquor traffic.”
Th»» Broken Arrow Democrat thus
hack* up the endeavor of the county
authorities In their effort to suppress
the Illegal traffic In liquor:
"The county attorney reached town
on the evening train nnd met the citi-
zens In a mas* meeting again Tuesday j
night when he fuPy explained every of-
ficial act to the entire satisfaction of
every one present, for which the peo-
ple gave him an unanimous vjte of
thanks and promised to stand to his
back In prosecuting the law breakers
of this county.
”It !» an evident I act that the dirty
bootlegger from Tulsa, Muskogee nor
anywhere else can run It over our peo-
ple ns they do in other places.
"We b°l»e for th# glad day when

"We are proud of our town and Its

STRANGER WAS
BADLY STABBED
Will Smith, of Toledo, Ohio, Was As-
saulted in Front of the Mis-
souri House.
From Saturday’s Dally.
A second stabbing affair occurred In
Tulsa last night when an unknown
man. wielding a big kn fe, did acme
fancy can ing on the head and neck of
one Will Smith that may result In his
death. Smith, who says his home Is in
Tgledo, Ohio, was standing In front of
the Missouri house when the stabbing
took place. He wag under the Influ-
• nee of liquor when h** wus assaulted
and is unable Jo give a connected ac-
count of the affuir. The man who did
the stabbing escaped and although the
pollc# arrested several suspects, Smith
could not identify any of them as the
man who cut him
Both Smith’s cheeks were laid open
by the sharp blade of the knife and one
ear wa* badly lacerated. It was split
In three place* and another large gash
crossed his temple. The knife wi\j al-
so sunk Into his neck and tor a time
It was thought that Smith was dead, a*
he lay In a pool of blood growing lurg-
er wit hevery beat of hi* heart Dr
Wallace, who attended to oRe'* In-
Juries earlier in the evening was called
and he gave Smith medical treatment.
A great many stitches were necessary
to close the wounds, and Smith will
not be about for several day*, at least
