PIPE LINE CASE CONTINUED
HEARST HAS HIS OWN PARTY
TIME SET FOR JULY 27 UNDER
AGREEMENT
GOVERNOR'S ITMY AT THE HEARIN6
West Prottsts Against Plea Thst the
Governor Had Not Sufficient Time
to Inveetiflate—Injunction Shall
Stand During Continuance
GUTHRIE: Continuance in the case
of the state against the Prairie Oil
& Gas company was granted by Dis-
trict Judge A. H. Huston until July
27, when the parties, under the agree-
ment, will appear for trial.
Attorney General West, who recent-
ly secured a temporary injunction
ugainst the Prairie company restrain-
ing further construction on the pipe
line after it had traversed Washing-
ton county from Caney, Kansas, ap-
peared for the state. George I. Ram-
sey, of Muskogee, and J. H. Burford,
of this city, represented the Prairie,
while O. T. Smith, law clerk in the
governor's office, appeared for Acting
Governor Bellamy.
Mr. West protested against Mr.
Smith's plea that the case should be
continued on the ground that Gover-
nor Haskell has not had sufficient
time to make an investigation of the
matter and rather ironically suggest-
ed that the governor had previously
declared his acquaintance with the
case.
The importance of the agreement
between the Prairie and Mr, West re-
sulting in the continuance is that the
case shall remain status quo, that is,
the injunction shall stand, the Prairie
shall not seek a writ of prohibition
or seek to have the case transferred
from Logan county.
This last point was considered of
special import by the attorney gener-
al and he expresed himself as being
pleased with the agreement.
Evidnce of the Intense interest ta-
ken by the small oil producers was
the presence of Attorney J. J. Shea,
of Bartlesville, who represented a
number of well known independent
companies.
New York Editor Will Not Support the
Denver Nominee
NEW TORK: That William J.
Bryan is not to have the support of
j Wil!!am R. Hearst is indicated by the
attitude of Mr. Hearst's two New
j York newspaperg, the American and
j the Evening Journal. The two papers
announce a loss of confidence on their
; part both 1n the democratic party and
j in Mr. Bryan.
Preparations are well under way for
the neit national convention of the
Independence party, which will be
I held at Chicago, Monday, July 27. |
While the eyes of most politicians
I have been centered upon the demo-
| cratie national convention hall in Den-
j ver these last few days, the Independ-
ence party leaders have been com-
| pleting their plans for the Chicago
j convention, and with the return from
; Europe of William R. Hearst next
week, all will be ready.
j The Independence party leaders say j
they will put a full ticket in the fleid |
! and will also try to have a state tick- |
| et In every state in the union. In |
j thirty-eight states national commit- j
j teemen of the Independence party
have been appointed, the last state |
, thus represented being North Dakota.
Although the party leaders have
not come out strong as yet for any
| one man as their standard bearer 5n
j the campaign, there is a strong senti-
| ment, they say, for Thomas L. Hisgen,
i of West Springfield, Mass. Mr. His;
i gen ran for governor of Massachus-
etts two years ago on the Hearst
I ticket and polled a surprisingly large
. vote. This was encouraging to the
j Independence party leaders. Another
| possible candidate is M. W. Howard,
j of Alabama, a member of the national
j committee of the Independence party
from Alabama. He is a former con-
I gressman.
The Independence party leaders
j here say that the strength of tlhe
party has grown In the south remark-
j ably of late and they expect It to keen
on growing from now until the day of
| election.
The party leaders say they do not
I expect to win this fall, but seek to
j bring the party and Its principles be-
fore the people to open the way for
{ future growth.
HIS WAY OF PROPOSING.

She—Well, rather good.
He—Here's one for you: If 1 were to
ask you to marry me, what would you
say?
TWO CURES OF ECZEMA
OUSTER SUIT BY WEST
The Attorney General Starts Actior
Against Oil Company
GUTHRIE: Attorney General West
in the district court of Logan county
filed suit to compel the Prairie Oil
and Gas company to relinquish all its
lease holdings and oil wells in the
state and practically to abandon Its
business other than the actual trans-
portation and refining of crude petro-
leum. He asks that the surrender be
made subject to regulations made In
court.
The petition charges the company
with already having warranted the
forfeiture of its corporate rights In
Oklahoma and demands that It be
forced to live up to its obligations in
the transportation of oil and that it
be enjoined from "the unlawful own-
ing, operating and producing of oil
along its said pipe lines and trans-
porting same over its said pipe lines,
and that it be required to dispose of
said oil wells, oil lands, Interests in
and titles thereto under such terms
and regulations as the court may pre-
scribe."
The suit is filed under two provi-
sions of the constitution enlarged
upon by subsequent laws. One pro- j
vides that no public service corpora- '
tion shall own any land except such '
as is necessary for the conduct of its
business as a public service corpora- \
tion. The other provision prohibits j
public service corporations from con-
ducting a business that brings it 1n
direct competition with a like busi- J
ness conducted by its patrons. This ;
point also is covered by the Hepburn
act.
MRS. KERN SORRY IT'S SO
Baby Had Severe Attack—Grandfather
Suffered Torments with It
Owe Recovery to Cuticura.
"In 18S4 my grandson, a babe, had
an attack of eczema, and after trying
the doctors to the extent of heavy bills
and an increase of the disease and suf-
fering, I recommended Cuticura and
in a few weeks the child was well. He
is to-day a strong man and absolutely
free from the disease. A few years
ago I contracted eczema, and became
an intense sufferer. A whole winter
passed without once having on shoes,
nearly from the knees to the toes be-
ing covered with virulent sores. I tried
many doctors to no purpose. Then I
procured the Cuticura Remedies and
found immediate improvement and
final cure. M. W.LaRue, 845 Seventh St.,
Louisville, Ky., Apr. 23 and May 14, '07."
Appreciates the Honor, but Thinks of
Her Husband's Health
INDIANAPOLIS, IND.: Mrs. John
W. Kern, wife of the nominee for vice
president, when notified of the nomi-
nation of her husband at Denver, was
at her home with her children.
"I had hoped," said she, "you would
give me the good news that Mr. Kern
had not been nominated. I, of course,
appreciate the honor conferred upon
Mr. Kern, but I cannot understand
what conditions at Denver have arisen
that would cause him to have accept-
ed the nomination.
"Mr. Kern has injured his health in
the past campaigns by his activity and
he means vastly more to me than any
political honors. I am sincerely sorry
although I suppose I should not say
so."
PETITIONS ARE THROWN OUT
Ten Republicans and Five Democrats
Fail in Number of Names
GUTHRIE: Official r.gures given
out by the state election board show
that the petitions of ten republicans
and five democrats candidates for
nomination as memhers of the legisla-
ture have been thrown out on account
of an insufficiency of signatures. The
petitions of nine, including that of J.
B. Thompson, of Pauls Valley, chair-
man of the democratic state central
committee, were withdrawn. Mr.
Thompson was a candidate for the
legislature from Garvin county.
In these counties there are no re-
publican candidates for representa-
tive: Beckham, Choctaw, Delaware,
Garvin (three petitions thrown out),
Greer, Jefferson, Johnston, Latimer,
Love, Marshal, Pontotoc, Stephens.
Alleged Slayer May Prove Alibi
LAWTON: R. G. Wade, the travel-
ing salesman who was arrested Sat-
urday evening In Walter, charged
with the murder of his former wife,
Ada Reichter, in Hot Springs, Ark.,
and with kidnaping their 9 year old
daughter, was brought to Lawton by
City Marshal N. Jones, of Walter.
Jones refused, however, to turn Wade
over to the county officers, and after
permitting the prisoner to secure affi-
davits here to establish his alibi, re-
turned to Walter, leaving Wade with
friends here on his honor to await the
action of Arkansas officers. Wade
says he has known nothing of his
wife's whereabouts for two years and
offers a reward for the return of his
daughter, supposed to be kidnapped.
Artesian Water Near Lehigh
LEHIGH: The government pros-
pecting party which has been operat-
ing on the segregated land near Le-
high for some time, has struck two
artesian wells of pure soft water.
The flow is strong and the citizens
believe that great use can be made
of the supply.
To Celebrate Removal of Restrictions
GUTHRIE: Oklahomans will cele-
i brate July 27, the day when the reraov-
j al of restrictions from 9,000,000 acres
; of Indian lands will become effective.
Acting Governor Bellamy has issued
j a proclamation declaring a holiday on
j that date, and also making It a "red
j letter day," when all commercial or-
ganizations and other bodies are ask-
ed to join in celebrating the event by
[ writing letters to other states, invit-
j ing outsiders to come to Oklahoma,
j At Muskogee, the center of the area
| most favorably affected by the remov-
al of restrictions, a big celebration
will commence on the 27th and Son-
tinue all the week.
An Accident.
A "perfect lady" was charged in the
police court with having broken her
umbrella over the head of another
"perfect lady."
"What have you to say to the
charge?" asked the magistrate.
"It was an accident, your honor."
"Do you mean to say that after
smashing an umbrella over this wom-
an's head you claim it was an acci-
dent?"
"Sure, yes; but I meant not to break
my umbrella."

The Expensive Part.
"Does it cost much to live In the
city?" asked the old lady from the
small village.
"O, no," replied her city nephew, "it
doesn't cost any more to live in the
city than it does in the country, but
it costs three times as much to keep
up appearances."—Chicago News.

The romance of a spinster is apt to

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
j desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
I sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
j thickness, which not only destroys tbe
appearance, but also affects the wear-
ing quality of the goods. This trou-
ble can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great-
er strength than other makes.
That's Different.
