STATE SUES TO RECOVER
ALLEGED ILLEGAL SALARY
GIRL OF NINETEEN DOES
"HOBO"ACT TO TULSA
Former Lieutenant-Governor Bellamy
Is Asked to Return $2,462.50 He
Was Not Entitled To
Oklahoma City—In a suit died In the
Canadian county district court, the
stute of Oklahoma became plaintiff in
an action to recover $2,462.50 from
former lieutenant governor G. W.
Bellamy, alleged illegal salary. The
suit was filed by Assistant Attorney
General Reeves, Mr. Bellamy was
served with notlco of the suit. The
notion for the recovery of the money
from Bellamy is based on the propo-
sition that an official of the state can-
not hold two state positions and draw
sulary from both at the same time.
The petition recites that Bellamy
was lieutenant governor from the 16th
day of November, 1907, until th; ••h
day of January, 1911, and that the
statute fixed his salary as such official
at $1,000 per annum.
On the 17th of December, 1907, by
a legislative act, the state banking
board was created, and the act was
afterwards amended so that on May
26, 1908, Bellamy was made a member
of the board, and that by a resolution
adopted by tho board on June 1, 1908,
he was voted a regular salary of $1,500
per annum as chairman of the board.
After Two Hundred-mile Trip in Box
Car She Reaches Goal With Only
Twenty-five Cents in Money
Washington.—Former United States
Senator Thomas Henry Carter of Mon-
tana for many years a notable and pic-
turesque character ln national politics
and once chairman of the republican
national committee, died at his home
early Sunday of infarction of the
lungs. He was 57 years old.
Mr. Carter has been under the care
of a physician for months. He was
able to go about, however, and his ail-
ment, a filling of the lungs with clotted
blood, did not become acute until
about a week ago.
A Baltimore specialist was sum-
moned last Wednesday and at that
time the attending physician express-
ed confidence in the patient's recov-
ery, but the malady became worse and
death resulted at 3 o'clock Sunday
morning. The funeral will be held in
Washington.
Mr. Carter had a remarkable ca-
reer, extending over twenty-two years
of official life at Washington. This
embraced service as the first represen-
tative elected from Montana, two
terms In the United States senate and
executive positions, as commissioner
of the general land office, chairman of
the republican national committee ln
tho second and third unsuccessful
campaigns of Benjamin Harrison for
the presidency, president of the board
of United States commissioners for
the Louisiana Purchase exposition at
St. Louis and Eince last March chair-
man of the newly-created "internation-
al Joint commission, American sec-
tion," especially charged with Cana-
dian boundary matters.
Perhaps the most remarkable of his
forensic achievements was his defeat
of a big river and harbor appropria-
tion bill during the McKinley adminis-
tration. President McKinley did not
favor the bill and Mr. Carter always
a strong administration supporter,
began a speech against It and talked
continuously until noon of the day fol-
lowing, when the session of congress
expired.

how good It is If the mother had been
discouraged by the failure of her

tells the story:
"We had never used Postum till last
spring when father brought home a

had heard from our neighbors, and ln
fact every one who used it, how well
they liked It.
"Well, the next morning Mother
brewed it about five minutes, Just as
she had been ln the habit of doing
with coffee without paying special at-
tention to the directions printed on
the package. It looked weak and
didn't have a very promising color, but
nevertheless father raised his cup
with an air of exceptancy. It certain-
ly did give htm a great surprise, Vit
I'm afraid It wasn't a very pleasant
one, for he put down his cup with  
look of disgust
Mother wasn't discouraged though,
and next morning gave R another trial,
letting '.t stand on the stove till boil-
ing began and then letting it boll for
fifteen or twenty minutes, and thl 
time we wero all so pleased with It
that wo have used It ever since.
