Special Session Nobly
Relinquishes Nine Dollars
Both houses of the legislature passed a
resolution yesterday, fixing today noon
as the hour of adjournment. Just why
th* dominant faction decided to adjourn
today Instead of waiting until Saturday
night was not made apparent. The mem.
bera would havo been entitled to draw
their dally stipend of fG.OO for their
arduous and unselfish labors in behalf or
the common people until next Monday.
It has been whispered in some sections,
roared in others, however, especially In
agricultural districts, where the big
was dlsgrunteld and peevish. A nffero-
seoplo examination of the achievements
of the present session, so far as their in-
terests have been affected, has failed to
disclose any cause for congratulation. It
seemed to pain those who tolled under
the hot sun for their income to lavish it
upon others who earned theirs by hot
air, and not a particularly convincing
kind, at that.
Hut. of course. If they adjourned a
whole day and a half before thoy might
have, und still continued to draw down
the six iron men, there could be no just
vote comes from, that said proletariat j ground for censure, of course!
Will Adjourn
at Noon Today
Marlow, in Stephens county, and it la
probable that the bill would have car-
ried thus amended if it had not been
weighted down by its enemies.
THIN OUT BIG BILLS
The anti-dispensary bill passed fin-
ally, as amended and substituted by
the senate, the re-districting bill by
Russell and the county assessor's bill
are both near to final passage. It is
not expected that either can be de-
feated. The re-districting bill was so
emended n-s not to be effective until
after the next general election.
MORNING SESSION
The house resumed its grind prompt
ly at 9 o'clock, with just a bare quo-
rum in their seats. To facilitate the
work of the closing hours .Speaker
Wilson suggested that a certain Um-
bo devoted to roll calls as soon as
bills are ready for passage, so that
business might be kept from piling up
in advance. The speaker also recom-
mended that members who tfo com-
mittee work up to the wee small hours
of the night, escort their stenograph
ers home thereafter.
Monday's house journal was correct-
ed and reprinted with the anti-sher-
iffs' resolution expunged and copies
distributed yesterday morning.
Two resolutions by Senators Thom-
as and Sorrels respectively were adopt
ed, accepting the notes and data of
the code commission, und providing
for payment of the state mining board
for services. The former was adopted
by a viva voce vote and the latter on
roll call bi- a vote of r>9 to 2.
CALL OF THE BLUEBIRDS
Whereas the bluebirds proclaimed
the approach of spring and plowtime,
Lon Lovelace of latimer county, dem-
ocrat, offered a concurrent resolution
calling for aljournment sine die, at 6
O'clock yesterday afternoon. TheiV
were already several screeds of a sim-
ilar natnure hanging fire in various
stages, and Lon failed to even get a
voto on his.
In view of the amount of business
cleaned up at the Wednesday evening
cession, a resolution of thanks was
adopted, to Representative Durham,
who presided in committee of the
whole.
A roll on senate amendments to the
Anthony bill, requiring foreign corpor-
ations doing business in Oklahoma to
produce their books and papers for
Inspection, resulted in their adoption.
The same was true of amendments to
the. Cope bill, amending the statutes
relating to challenging elector?,
Messrs. Maxey, of Shawnee, Harri-
son, of Calvin, and Sherman of Es-
telle, were appointed house conferees
on Senate Bill No. 78, by Morris, tho
JUST REST AND
Will Cure Most Cases of Ner-
vous Prostration.
Other Severe Nervous Disorder!
Also Cured by the Tonic
Treatment.
The tint tiling to do tu the treatment
of nervous troubles is to stop the cause
of the trouble, if possible, whether it is
Irregular living, worry, or whatever it
may be. The next step is rest, recrea-
tion and the use of a good tonic. The
nerves muni l>e nourished and strength-
ened and. a* they can receive their nour-
ishment only through the blood, tlie ,, ,, i,^
tonic must be a good blood builder.
I)r. Williams' Pink Pills are the best
tonic for uervous sufferers because they j
build up the blood and give the nerves
Ihe nourishment they need. In this way
Wiey rebuild and strengthen the over-
worked nerves until health is restored.
Mrs. J. E. Udeile, of No. ^7*0 Grand
avenue, South, Minneapolis, Minu., suf-
fered for years from nervousness.
"1 was completely worn out from
overwork n few years ago," says Mrs
Udeile, "and had nervous prostration
for neveral years. 1 grew so nervous
that I was uuable to continue at my
-work as dre*snuiker. I w as very weak
und mv baok ached continually. My
stomach was so weak that I could eat
nothing but light food and oven then
I would have pains and cramps. Gas
formed on my stomach. I was short of
breath and had palpitation of tho heart.
I was in bed for throe months.
"At Davenport, Iowa, I was nuder
doctors' eare but received only tem-
porary relief so gave them up. I then
tsed I)r. Williams' Pink Pills for I had
read of u. oase, similar to mine, iuabook-
let which was left at our house. When
I began using the pills I had no
strength at all and had lost a great deal
in weight. I did not have to take tho
pills long before 1 felt better. I gave
the pills a fair trial und was entirely
cured. I am in good health now and
shall alwavs recommend Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills."

ROLL CALLS THE ORDER
Tho long string of roll calls on
senate bills recommended for passage
commenced at 10:30, with the Blllups
bill establishing a district agricultural
school at Cordell, amended to locat'
an Institution in every county in the
state. Receiving only G2 votes, the
bill was declared lost.
The Bryan election bill was finally
passed and sent to the governor for
signature, by virtue of adoption of
senate amendments, the vote resulting
59 to L'5, all republicans present vot-
ing "no."
Senate concurrent resolution No. 34
by Williams, was adopted, providing
for the auditing of legislative
counts pending at adjournment, and
authorizing Representative George E
Jahn of Coalgate, to proof-read the
permanent journal of the house.
Conferees on the anti-dispensary
bill reported, recommending the agree
ment to the senate substitute bill.
Vogle dissented, objecting to tho sale
of confiscated liquors by the state,
Tho bill had been amended and sub
stltuted so often that there was a lot
of doubt as to just what effect
would have on the dispensary as now
maintained, and reading of the meas-
ure in full was called for. The read
ing re-opened the discussion and Bell
took tho floor to explain the effect of
the bill. Tillotson repeated again that
he was against the sale of liquor by
tho state. Rev. Howell Smith, of
Custer county and Ben Williams, of
Pushmataha county indulged in pro-
hibition speeches, and the roll was
carted. The vote resulted 66 to 36.
KATE BARNARD'S BILL.
After tho redlstrlctlng bill was per-
fected, the house took up a bill by Sen-
ator Taylor in which Commissioner of
Charities and Corrections, Kate Barnard
is interested, requiring jails to be paint-
ed, whitewashed and cleaned every three
months. It was hurriedly advanced to
third reading.
When committee of tho whole had re-
ported, the speaker signed a number of
enrolled bills, Including the fees and
salaries bill. The pen with which tho
latter was signed, was presented to
Representative Dunham, a houso author-
ity on fees and salaries.
With great enthusiasm, tho house
adopted a resolution to adjourn at higli
noon today. Speaker Wilson signed it
and presented the pen to Faulkner who
has urged adjournment since the sessn
opened.
A number of bills were ready for roll
call, including the county assessor bill,
which came up for adoption of the con-
ference report. "When this bill first,
passed the houso it secured barely T
votes, the necessary majority. t
Helm, republican declared that he had
been wrongly recorded as voting for th
bill. If this were true, the bill did not
pass, but the speaker refused to go he-
hind the record, and overruled Helm.
Beforo the roll call could be asked for,
Judge Terral asked for further informa-
tion regarding the contents of the bill,
and it was permitted to go over until
this morning.
An appropriation of $10,400 for the
purchase of additional land for the in-
sane asylum at Vinita, was provided for

Judge Took offered an amendment to
the Sulphur appropriation bill, to ap-
propriate $'.5,000 for erection of proper
buildings for the colored deaf and dumb
school at Taft, In Muskogee county.
Maxey raised a point of order against
amending on third reading and Tillotson
moved to table the Cook amendment.
Republicans demanded a roll call, and
the amendment was tabled, 4S to 32. The
bill then passed as originally drawn.

Senator Roddie made against the con-
ferees named by PreslJent Bellamy on
the usuary bill. Bellamy named Senators
Russell, Soldani and Potter. Roddie pro-
tested that two of them were unfavor-
able to the bill as it passed the senate
a d declared that he would remain
the floor until two members were named
who were in sympathy with the bill. He
charged that Bellamy had attempted to
throttle the will of the majority of the
senate and stated that it was the first
time in three years he had been here that
such an attempt had been made,
threatened to appeal from Bellamy to the
senate, but when he failed to carry out
that threat Senator Taylor put the mat
