Guthrie, Olila., Feb. 24.—Speaking
to a question of personal privilege on
the senate uniform text book btll
which was before the senate this af-
ternoon. Senator Roddie today de-
clared that if the bill passed in its
present form it will exclude ail com-
panies from bidding to furnish school
books to the state except the Ameri-
can Book Company. He singled out
the clause requiring the first con-
tract to be let for three years as the
one that would allow the American
Book Company to have a monopoly
in the state.
Senator Roddie made these re-
marks in reply to Senator Biair. who
expressed the opinion that Senator
Roddie might be trying to kill the
bill by loading It down with amend-
ments.
The bill differs In many respects
from the uniform text book bill
which was passed in committee of
the whole by the house this after-
noon. It provides for a text book
commission composed of the state
superintendent of city schools, a
county superintendent, an elemen-
tary teacher and a teacher in some
higher institution of learning, all of
whom must hold first grade certifi-
cates.
The senate today refused to ac-
cept copies of the Joint rules as print
ed under direction of the state print-
er. pointing out that the printing is
poor, the paper bad and that many
or's approval. Upon motion of Rep-
resentative Murdock, author of the
bill, the house today refused to con-
cur in the senate amendments to the
Fort Supply asylum appropriation
bill, and the senate was asked to re-
cede from its amendments. The
house passed the concurrent resolu-
tion by Ashby, empowering the state
board of health and medical examin-
ers to reinstate any physicitn who
has been barred from practicing as a
physician by tnistake or otherwise.
The committee on public buildings,
appointed in the house yesterday, an-
nounces that it will begin to consid-
er propositions of aspirants for state
institutions on March 25th.
The Billups liquor bill was again
launched upon troubled seas when
the question of concurring in the re-
port of the conference committee
came up in the senate this afternoon.
The senate spent all afternoon dis-
cussing the bill as amended and made
no progress. A further conference
committee amendment was presented
today, which allows druggists to pur-
chase liquors from the dispensary
agents for compounding or preserv-
ing medicines without burdensome
regulations, and allows the dispen-
sary superintendent to prescribe
rules and regulations under which
liquor may be furnished to drug-
gists.
Although the conference report met
some opposition in the senate today
mistakes were made in the subject | it is believed th^t it will be accepted
matter. ^ by both houses within a few days.
The old light between the house j -
and senate came up again in the sen | Guthrie, Okla, Feb. 26.-Charging
ate this afternoon, when a resolution j that a ring Is being formed in the
by Meminger. that Lieutenant Gov-
ernor Bellamy is to preside over all
joint sessions of the legislature, was
adopted by common consent in the
senate. Senators declared that later
they will try to have the joint rules
amended to read that way, to show
compliance to the constitution.

day announced the membership of
the public buildings committee as

ner of Kiowa, Lindsay of Garvin,

of the capital aspirants apd very few
of '.he towns that w'ant state insitu-
tione are represented on the com-
mittee.
Gov. Haskell tonight directed At-
torney General 'West to dissolve the
alleged combination of Rock Island
and Frisco railway systems.
The governor requested such ac-
tion after he had examined a report

tigation conducted by the attorney
general into the alleged merger.

feat the will of the people in a free
selection of capital location and the
location of new state institutions.
Senator Campbell Russell today fath-
ered a resolution providing for a
joint committee of six, three front
each house, to investigate and re-
port upon the advisability of taking
of the same race attending the insti-
tute.
It became evident this afternoon,
that the Billups liquor measure would
pass the senate with little opposition
and be sent to the house in a day or
two. Practically every amendment
proposed was voted down today, in-
cluding the l.ittle amendment to
strike out the provision extending
dispensaries to towns of 1.000 and
less population, where it is deemed
necessary by the governor and the
agency superintendent.
Both branches of the legislature to-
day agreed to the conference com-
mittee report on house bill 20C, ap-
propriating 1150,000 for the mainten-
ance of the insane at Fort Supply and
upon senate bill 112 by Blair, provid-
ing for the organization and mainten-
ance of the state board of agriculture
and carrying an appropriation of
$75,000. and the bills as soon as en
rolled will be ready for the approval
of the governor.
The Anthony-Hart-Smith bill ex-
tending the time for making the as-
sessment for 1008 taxes from March
1 to May 1. passed the house today
and was sent to the senate.
Guthrie. Okla.. Feb. 28.—The sen-
ate spent the entire day discussing
the Billups liquor bill. A proposed
amendment by Senator Davis of Bris-
tow to submit articles 1 and 2, con-
taining the dispensary features, to it
vote of the people, was defeated af-
ter several hours' discussion.
The bill as it stands provides that
the dispensary law shall become ef-
fective immediately upon the pas-
sage of the bill, but that the portion
of the dispensary plan as submitted
In article 1 shall be submitted at the
next election. Davis took the posi-
i tion that the slogan of the party dur-
ing the cuinpalgn, "Let the people
rule," should be adhered to with re-
gard to dispensaries, as many good
people oppose such a system.
"Put the dispensary system upon
the back of the Democratic party to
carry into the next campaign and you
are putting the Democratic party up-
on a crosB and you will see blood
oozing from its body next fall." de-
clared Davis.

spector Dunn went to Holey, a negro
town in Okfuskee county, the other
day to examine the Holey bank and
Trust Company. He arrived after the

Guthrie, Okla., Feb. 25.—The house
today passed the Franklin-Durant
bucket tshop bill, which was reported
out of the house committee as a sub-
stitute for the Franklin bill, which
passed the senate several days ago.
and the Durant bill in the house. It
combines some of the features of
both measures. The bill prohibits
the sale of cotton, grain, meat, lard
or any stocks or lionds of any corpo-
ration on future contracts where the
goods are not actually to be deliver
ed. It permits "hedging," but not by
the use of prlvute wires, and makes, f()r the Krunklln senate
steps toward locating the capital and . .
state institutions in connection there- < ed to the bill, including two »>^ a' _
with. The resolution is fuvorable to
the location of an ideal capital upon
a site at or near the geographical cen-
ter of the state.
After a long and heated debate the
resolution was killed by the adoption
of a motion to postpone indefinitely.
Russell declared that this resolu-
tion was Introduced to open the pre-
liminary skirmish for the location of
the state capital and to bring out of
the brush the various aspirants for
the capital and state Institutions.
“I desire to open this fight now so
thut the public may have something
to say about the location of thes~ In-
stitutions. If the matter Is hushed
up by trading among the various can-
didates we will soon have one of the
most damnable rings which will pre-
clude anybody but the favorite towns
getting Into the race."
The resolution was opposed by
Senutors Stafford of Oklahoma City.
Eggerman of Shawnee and Cunning-
ham of Guthrie, nil of whom repre-
sent towns that are aspirants for the
state capital, and was also opposed
by senators who represent towns that
are candidates for state Institutions.
The house reconsidered the hotel
bill which was killed somp time ago
and re-commttted it with the agree-
ment that the hotel inspector feature

out the provision establishing liquor

which Gov. Tom Ferguson vetoed."
It is probable that the senate text-
book 1)01 will be killed and that the
senate will adopt the house bill with
amendments.
The house agreed to the senate
amendments to the Ratliff hill, pro-
viding for the transfer of civil and
criminal cases from the district

Senator Matthews made a strong
attack upon the dispensary provision,
declaring that the only people that
are for it are those who have appli-
cations in their pockets for a place
as dispensary agents.
The house passed the Evans bill
regarding county teachers' institutes
and killed the Franklin bill from the
senate prohibiting the use of locomo-
tives with caps on top of the boilers.
Speaker Murray argued that the mat-
ter should properly be left to the cor-

Coaidale, Alfa, Can , Nov. 19. 1907.
Sir: I beg to say that this year w®
bad 349 acres of grain, consisting of
197 acres of spring wheat and 162
acres of oats. The average yield of
wheat was 38 bushels per acre and
oats 74 bushels. Wo were offered
$1.00 per bushel for wheat and 50
cents for oats, making the acre val-
ues for the two crops $38.00 and $37.00
respectively.
We also bad 50 tons of hay worth
$13.00 per ton, and 500 bushels of po-
tatoes, worth 60 cents per bushel, th®
latter off 2% acres of ground.
Our best yields this year were 107
; cres of wheat, making 41 bushels per
acre at $1. 00 per bushel, would b®
$41.00 per acre; 47 acres of oats, yield-
ing 95 bushels per acre were sold for
50 cents per bushel. Proceeds, $47.00
per acre.
I might add that 50 acres of our oata
were "stubbled in.”
During the spring of 1906, we hired
about 300 acres broken by steam. We
put in and harvested 65 acres of grain
last year, did the remainder of our
breaking, worked up the ground and
seeded this year's entire crop, put In
seven acres of alfalfa and five acres
of garden potatoes, trees, etc., all
with one four horse team. During har-
vest we hired other teams, but, aside
from this, and part of the breaking,
the one team did the work of raising
practically 19.000 bushels of grain,
worth $12,000.

"Some years ago my three littlo

Itching eruptions formed on the backs
of their heads which wore simply cov-

failed. Then my mother recommended
the Cuticura Remedies. I washed my
children's heads with Cuticura Soap
