CANNOT GET BOND
BUILDING AND LOAN COMPANIES
ARE SLOW IN COMPLYING
WITH LAW
POWERS WANT PEACE
ONLY CNt SURETY COMPANY COMPLIES
Cash Deposit of $50,000 a Stunner to
Most .Outside Companies—Ouster
Proceedings May be Resorted to
Condition of Banks Good
GUTHRIE: Paul Cooper, territorial
bank examiner, under a law passed
by the recent legislature, also has
charge over the operations In the ter-
ritory of all building and loin com-
panies domestic or foreign. Any
such company, which operates beyond
the country In which It Is organized
and chartered roust give a bond ot
fin.OOO before it can do business In
Oklahoma. Unlrw this bond is given
the attorney general Is authorized to
oust the company from the territory.
Mr. Cooper says that the building
and loan companies are having a hard
time to make bond. The recent legis-
lature also passed an anti-trust law,
which requires all trust, surety, guar-
anty and fidelity companies to make
a cash deposit of *50,0% with the ter-
ritorial treasurer before they can
operate in the territory. Thus far
only one security company has com-
plied with this law, and therefore It
Is the only one which can execute
bonds within the territory. This com-
pany refuses to make bonds for build-
ing and loan companies under the
recent act, and I his decision forces
building and loan companies to giv*
a personal bond. The surety com-
pany holds that on account of the
peculiar phraseology of the building
and loan law, it can not with safety
to Itself make bonds for such com-
panies. Thus far Mr. Cooper has not
received a bond from any building
and loan company and in all proba-
bility ouster proceedings will be com-
menced against a number of com-
panies in the near future. Because
of the decision of the surety com-
pany refusing to make bonds for the
companies Mr. Cooper will be as len-
ient as possible until they have had
jin opportunity to make personal
bonds.
Mr. Cooper announces the general
condition of territory banks good. He
has recently returned from examining
a number of them in different parts
of the territory and says the condi-
tions are very satisfactory.
it Is Not Known Yet What Action May j
be Taken
WASHINGTON: Diplomatic ae |
tivlty in Washington Indicates that the
European powers are prepared active-
ly to assist the president in any efforts
he may make in the interest of peace
Jn the far east, and It Is learned that
the German emperor heartily shares
the earnest wish of President Roose
velt for an early ending of the war
Neither the president nor the emper
or, however, is ambitious to assume
the role of peacemaker, although anx
lous to do what is possible to assist
Russia and Japan to enter upon peace
negotiations as soon as practicable.
From Information received here It Is
believed that the king of Italy can be
relied upon to cast his influence for
peace, and the long conference of
Baron Mayor des Planches, the Italian
ambassador, with Count Cassini, after
the latter"s 'call at the White house,
is but one of several evidences of the
activity of the king's envoy at Wash-
lnglon in the interest of peace.
Sir Mortimer Durand, the British
ambassador, in a recent visit to -the
White house, placed the president in
possession of the views of King Ed-
ward, who would welcome an early
peace. The views of the French gov-
ernment are well known to be of a
similar character. Several of the more
prominent diplomats were enabled to
cable their governments the general
features of the conference between the
president and Count Cassini, and the
whole diplomatic corps Is aware of
the important words uttered by the
president, and were speculating upon
their effect in St. Petersburg.
Baron Von Sternberg, the German
ambassador, was at the Russian em-
bassy discussing the stituation with
Count Cassini. Thus far the latter
has not heard from his government,
and advices from Europe would seem
to indicate that the czar and his min-
isters have reached no definite decis-
ion as to their future policy.
Except to intimate that he and the
president had a general talk on the
whole situation, Minister Takahira
had nothing to say in reference to his
conference. He did not appear to bo
concerned about the presence of the
Russian ship at Manila.
NEW MINES TO OPEN
Nine Modern Coal Mines to be In Full
Operation
HENRYETTA: Two of the mines
at Henryetta that have been operat-
ing intermittently and one that has
been closed down are expected to re-
sume operation with full forces of
men early in June. Three new mines,
equipped with modern machinery, are
expected also to open within the next
few weeks. Two of them are owned
by Thomas McDonald of Henryetta
and the Cameron people of South Mc-
Alester are the owners of the other
The impression has gone out that the
mines of this district have suspended
operations, but the fact is that the
Whitehead mine is the only one that
has been entirely closed down and
this is the result of labor troubles
When the new mines are opened
Henryetta will have nine modern coal
mines in full operation. Operators
have invested over $1,000,000 in the
He nryetta field.
| A-BOOZIN' WITH THE BOYS | | |
I don't see how a feller kin be a!way* satisfied,
To leave his lonesome wife a-settln' by the fireside.
A-waitln' fer his comin' and afeard of every noise.
And him up town carousin' 'round, a-boozln* with the boys.
It seems to me I d rather be a-settln' round the fire,
Whar I could hear the young una cheer with all their hearts
desire; .
A-watchin' them playin* on the carpet with their toys;
I d ruther be a-doln' this than boozin' with the boys.
I don't see how a feller kin forget tho ones who *att
And watch the winder till the day has darkened Into night.
Or how he can forgit that, tho* the hour Is growin late.
Tho ones at home still love him. tho* he s doln what ain t right.
And when the time has come to put the little una to bed.
When all their romps are over and their eveuln pra>ers are
said; . .
It seems to me I'd rather be a witness to such Joys
Than up In town, carousin' 'round, a-boozin with the do>s.
I don't see how a feller can forgit the oth*r days.
When first he wooed and Won her. who Is now his wedded wire,
When all he could remember was her fascinating wa>s.
And every smile she gave him was a sunbeam in his life.
It seems to me. 'twould better be to think of such as this,
And every day to pave her way to pleasure with a^ kiss,
And when we could we always should keep addln to her Jo> s,
An' let Home other feller go out a-boozln' with the boys.

AMERICAN VESSEL EASILY
WINS RACE ACROSS OCEAN
The schooner yacht Atlantic, owned
by Wilson Marshall of Bridgeport,
Conn., crossed the flDlsh line off The
Lizard, England, May 29, at 9:15
o'clock In the evening, winning the
kaiser's $5,000 cup in the great ocean
race and beating all records across
the Atlantic for sailing yachts. Her
time from Sandy Hook to the finish
was 12 days and 9 hours. The Endy-
mlon, which, up to this time has held
the record, crossed in 1900 in 13 days
20 hours and 86 minutes. The Endy-
mion finished at Cowes, however, mak-
ing a longer course, and Capt. Charles

JAPAN'S GREAT ADVANTAGE
Mikado's Army Can be Landed On
Russia's Pacific Coast
TOKIO: With the destruction of
Russia's naval power, interest is re-
turning to militar yoperations on land.
Togo's victory tremendously alters
the military situation and removes all
limits to offensive operations against
Russia's maritime provinces. It Is
now possible to effectively close Vladi-
vostock, seize Sakhalien, the mouth of
the Amur river, Kamtchatka and any
point between the Tumen river and
the Arctic circle that the Japaneses
may desire,
A foreign military observer discus-
sing the question with the correspond-
ent of the Associated Press says:
"Togo's victory may drive Russia
away from the Pacific coast of Asia.
Japan now has a free hand in Russia's
maritime provinces and her offensive
capability is unlimited. Nothing bars
the way except the Russian force at
Vladivostok, whose speedy isolation
is possible. The Amur river is open
to Japan and Russia's defensive ca-
pability is now entirely limited to the
capacity of the Chinese-Siberian rail-
way.

"Many extensively advertised reme-

Hunt's Lightning Oil is an exception.
Confidence in it is never misplaced-

SHIPS MUST REMAIN
Russian Vessels at Manila Canoot
Leave That Harbor
WASHINGTON: After a confer-
ence at the White house be-
tween President Roosevelt, Secretary
Morton and Attorney General Moody,
instructions were sent to Rear Ad-
miral Train, at Manila, that the Rus-
sian, Aurora, Oleg and Jemtchug,
which arrived there in an injured con-
dition, must be detained.
The navy department received a
cablegram from Vice Admiral Train,
dated Mainla, stating that, while cruis-
ing off Lingayen gulf, he sighted three
Russian vessels, the Aurora, the Oleg
and the Jemtchug, close in shore. He
said he found many wounded on
board, and that he escorted the ships
to Manila.
Dogs With Eyeglasses
"Goggles for dogs?" echoed the
dealer in motoring supplies. "Yes, we
keep them, and sell quite a few; but
generally they are made to order
You see, there is such a difference in
the shapes of dog noses. Some are
broad and flat and others are sharp
and pointed. The woman who goes
in heavy for motoring, record break-
ing runs and long trips is seldom a
buyer of goggles for her dog. But
the woman who puts her dog ahead of
the sport, who rides in an electrlo
laudau in leisurely fashion through
the park or on the drive Is the one
who insists upon her lap dog wearing
goggle*. It is a fad, nothing else."
Slow Journey
The cable car crawled slowly on
with an occasional pause at a threat-
ening breakdown. At last an old
man with a long white beard rose
feebly frpm a corner seat and tottered
toward the door. He was, however*
stopepd by the conductor, who said:
"Your fare, please."
"I paid my fare."
"When? I don't remember it."
"Why, I paid you when I got on the
car."
"Where did you get on?" j
"At Nether Liberton."
"That w n't do. When I left Lib-
erton there was only one little boy
on the car."
"I know it I was that ll^le boy.''

Tells Russian Ambassador That it Is
The Sensible Thing
WASHINGTON: The president
has struck a blow for peace in the tar
east. In conference nt the White
House with Count Cassini, the Rus-
sian ambassador, the president ex-
pressed the earnest wish that Russia
would forthwith conclude peace with
Japan. Prolongation of the war, he
believes, will not result In victory for
the Russian arms, and can only serve
to increase Japan's demands and ren-
der more difficult tho drafting of a
treaty of peace with the czar as well
as the mikado can sign. The presi-
dent spoke, he said, as the friend of
Russia no loss than of Japan, and on
behalf not only of the Washington
government, but in the interests of
humanity. Until his words have
reached Tsarakoe-Selo and have been
communicated to Emperor Nichalos
in the friendly spirit in which the-y
were uttored the effect can not he es-
timated. Soon after reaching his am-
bassy Count Cassni began the prepar-
ation of a dispatch to liis government.

Feed Your Brain, and It Will
You Money and Fame.
"Ever since boyhood I have been
especially fond of meats, and I am
convinced I ate too rapidly, and failed'
to masticate my food properly.
"The result was that I found my-
self, a few years ago, afflicted with
ailments of the stomach and kidneys,
which interfered seriously with my
business.
"At last I took the advice of friends
and began to eat Grape-Nuts Instead
of the heavy meats, etc., that had con-
stituted my former diet.
"I found that I was at once benefited
by the change, that I was soon reliev-
ed from the heart-burn and the indl>
gestion that used to follow my meal?
that the pains in my back from my
kidney affection had ceased, showing
that those organs had been healod, and
that my nerves, which used to be un-
steady, and my brain, which was slow
and lethargic from a heavy diet ot
meats and greasy food3, had, not in a.
moment, but gradually, and none the
less surely, been restored to normal
efficiency. Now every nerve is steady
and my brain and thinking faculties
are quicker and more acute than for
years past.
"After my old style breakfasts I
used to suffer during the forenoon
from a feeling of weakness which hin-
dered me seriously In my work, but
since I have begun to use Grape-Nuts
food I can worlt till dinner time with
all ease and comfort." Name given by
