bill. President Bellamy affixed ins
signature to the bill. When fne bill
reached the senate Senator Roddie
again gave notice of the senate's con-
tention that Che rules do not require
the signature of the presiding officer
until after a bill has been enrolled.
The copy signed by President Bellamy
was not an enrolled copy, but its hav-
ing been signed in this manner prob-
ably stops further contention between
the houses.
Senator Thomas presented a resolu-
tion adopted by the State Bar associa-
tion at its meeting in umahoma City,
December 19. asking that there be no
change in court procedure in the stale
until after 1909, when the new code
shall have been prepared In accord-
ance with the constitution.
The resolution presented by Senator
Stafford asking an investigation of
printing done and contracted for by
the state printer since December 20.
provides that the special committee
shall inquire what firms or corpora-
tions are doing the printing and 011
what authority, whether or not print
Ing contracts have been made, wno is
responsible for such contracts, what
orders for printing have been mad1,
who determines what shall be printeu
and how It shall be done? In other
words, the resolution calls for a com-
plete statement from the state printer
of all work done. An amendment
which Senator Stafford accepted pro-
vided that a statement should also be
procured of all printing that was done
prior to December 30 and since uie
Ifresent administration went Into
power.
ln connection with a verbal state-
ment of the report of the committee
ippointed to investigate the cause of
tie state university fire at Norman.
Senator Thomas called up his resolu-
!ion asking for the appointment by
the governor of a state fire marsnal,
whose duties it shall be to Inspect the
Itate institutions with regard to fire
protection. At the time of the uni-
versity fire Senator Thomas declared
Tne university waterworks system
was not available ,and that the build-
ing was nearly destroyed before water
from the city plant could be secured
The report, which has not yet been
formally submitted by the committee,
-ecommends that If cities near or in
arhlch state institutions are located,
'ail or refuse to Install water systems
for the institutions that the state pro-
seed to do the same at its expense.
Senator Sorrels asked, through a
loncurrent resolution, for the appoint-
ment of a joint legislative committee
to prepare a memorial to congress
praying for free homes for 3.000 home-
steaders of the Kiowa. comanche and

Ani-trust bills were Introduced by
Senators Davis and Redwine. Each
j defines illegal combinations in re-
! straint of trade and fixes penalties for
! violations. Each is rigid in its require-
ments. The Redwine bill fixes penal-
ties of both fines and Imprisonments,
the former varying from $500 to $10,-
000, and the latter from two years to
ten years.
A bill by Senator Brooks provides
for the appointment of a state barbet
board to consist of three members.
Applicants for license must be nine-

Shell, agent for the Cheyenne and
Arapaho Indians at Darlington an-
nounced that a circular letter has been
sent out to all Indian agents of fie
state asking that they meet in Guth-
rie January 21 to discuss the mescal
bean bill. Senator Soldani, who is ot
Osage blood, declared grandiloquently
that this* bill Is more important than
the banking bill or the prohibition bill.
"When yo-j permit Indians to use this
bean," he said, "you find til em at home
and away from the influences ol

Resolutions were offered from the
Tulsa Commercial club and citizens of

meanor, to which minimum .iud max-
imum fines of $r> to $ are attached
for a teacher, officer t r student to

Senator Franklin introduced a bill
providing for a text book commission
and a uniform system of text books.
The commission is to consist of one
college president.* one principal ot a
high school, #one city superintendent,
one county superintendent, one rural
primary teacher, with a first grad*'
certificate, and the governor, state
superintendent of public instruction 1
and attorney general. Provision is j
made for a 30-day advertisement for
bids and any member of the commis- j
sion who may be interested in any i
text book concern or agent or related ,
to any such becomes disqualified t<>
sit on the board. Companies to whom ;
contracts are to be awarded must til«* |
bonds of $10,000 each and establisn
agencies in the state. Provision is j
made for the purchase of copyrights,
plates, etc., and the list of books in-
cludes one on the constitution of Ok-
lahoma.
In committee of the wtoole a discus-
sion arose as to the wisdom of at-
taching an emergency clause to a bill
introduced by Senator Brook provid-
ing for the calling of elections in cities
to be proclaimed to be of the first
class denominations. The bill provides
that 25 per cent of the voters of a
town or city having more than 2,000
population, which was not chartered
prior to statehood and had come in
since that time, but has not alreauy
been chartered, may petition the gov-
ernor for a charter. The governor by
proclamation calls an election to vote
on the charter and the election 01 of- |
fleers. After the election a second
proclamation is to be Issued declar-
ing the city one of the first class and
the officers duly elected.
'Fne bill was referred to a special
committee on account of objections.
There was no session in the house
a vacation oeing decided upon to al-
low the committee to handle the num-
erous bills which have been introduced
within the last few days and turned
over for committee investigation.
The Blllups prohibition bill, wnicli
was made a special order for tomor-
row. along with the substitutes intro-
duced by Branson of Muskogee and
Crouch of Muskogee—Haskell prob-
| ably will occupy mos tof the day. The
Billups bill as passed by the senate
and amended by the joint house and
senate prohibition committee, has the
unanimous endorsement of the com-
mittee. The Crouch subsitute would
amend the committee bill by permit-
ting dispensaries in all towns instead
of only in those of over 2,000 inhabit-
ants and allow the druggists 10 sell
liquors for medical purposes upon re-
ceipt of a physician's prescription.
Branson's substitute provides for an
assistant to the attorney general who
shall have the same power in liquor
prosecutions as county attorneys.
The asylum appropriation 0111 ask-
ing $12,000 for the asylum at Fort
Supply, being an appropriate measure,
will take precedence over the Billups
bill unless the house shall vote to
suspend the rules in order to take up
the prohibition bin first.
Judge J. A. Baker of Wewoka ad-
dressed the senate briefly, declaring
that the constitution is a pillar ot
cloud by day and a pillar of fire by
night to the legislature that is guiding
them in fneir actions.
Two petitions regarding the dispo-
sition of the government army post at
Fort Reno were before the committee
on federal relations. One asked mat
the post be set aside as a state home
for veterans the other requested the
legislature to memorialize congress to
continue it as a government post. At
the request of Representative Cope ac-
tion on the petitions are held up for
ten days awaiting further recommen
dations from El Reno.
The c >mmitt«e will recommend to
the house a resolution asking for
homesteads for settlers in the iviowa
and Comanche country and also a
request from the delegation in con-
gress asking the legislature to arrange
| for an exhibit of Oklahoma coal at tho
International Mining exposition at
J Madison Square garden May 26. to
June 20.
Several bills relating to the occupa
tion tax in towns and villages, as the
municipalities outside of cities of tho
first class are designate*, are pending*
before the committee on revenue and
taxation. On the Indian Territory side
the first instalment of the tax which
has fallen due since satehooj, was
collected January 1, under the federal
provision. The state law does not pro-
vide for the tax in any cities except
of the first class.

House Spends Entire Day Discussing
Dispensary Measures.
The house spent nearly.all of Tues-
day in a discussion of an amendment
to tht house prohibition bill affecting
the dispensary, system and allowing
each separate county to say whethor
or not dispensaries should be oper-
ated therein
The heat of the discussion grtw
at ti UK's into almost a blaze of indig-
nation on the part of some members.
Speaker Murray succeeded in hav
ing the house pass his InitlatUe and
reuteuduiu bill, and this, with tho
reception of a t -w resolutions and
memorials. nstfctuted the Important
business of an all da\ session aside
from the prohibition discussion.
Senate bill by Moore of Jack"
sou. has been eurolk l and signed by
the ptvsiding officers of the two
houses and Is ready for the signature
of Acting Governor Bellamy. Gov-
ernor Bellamy's name will appear 011
the bill twici-, first as president of
the senate, and second as acting
governor The bill provides for the
transfer of tax rolls from original
counties to new counties created in
part or in whole from, original coun-
ties, and the collection of taxes as
shown due by those rolls.
Defeated In the forst test vote. 6
to 15, the opponnients of some of the
provisions of the amended Billups
prohibition bill gained strength dur-
ing the forenoon session and defeat-
ed the bill's supporters on the ques-
tion of tabling Representative Ash-
by's amendment to allow counties to
have local option on the dispensary
proposition 52 to 42, just before the
noon adjournment until afternoon
without voting on <the amendment,
hut the insurgents would not be put
off and achieved a short-lived vic-
tory, for the second motion to table
the amendment carried after two
hours of hot debate in the afternoon
session by a vote of 53 to 24, almost
one-third of the mt^ubers being ab
sent or not voting.
The debate on the Ashby amend-
ment wandered at times for from the 1
question under discussion, and dur
ing the four hours' debate on it most
of the provisions of the entire bill
were up for debate. The discussion
grew heated at times and charge.^
that the utterances of .certain speak
c-rs reflected upon the good faith ol
other members were frequent. The
statement of Mr. Vandeventer thai
il was a common practice of enemies
of a bill to load it down with amend-
ments under the guise of being friend*,
of the bill was immediately excepted
to by a half dozen supporters of the
amendment, and references to the re
mark were made during the entire
discussion; Smkh of Custer, in hi.-
speech favoring the amendment, weni
so far as to declare that no man couH
be found who would accept the ic-
.-ponsibilities of dispensing agent foi
the salary proposed unless he "erf
at heart a bootlegger.
Cope of Canadian, while condemn
ing the amendment as unconstitu-
tional and asserting that the passage
of such an amendment would allow
one county to suspend the operation
of any law which the legislature
might enact, was interrupted by Put-
nam of Oklahoma for the privilege ol
a question, but he had uttered onl>
four words before he was interrupter
by Mr. Cope and a war of words en
sued in which the sergeant at arms
was called to compel both member*
to be seated.
Speaker Murray took the floor In I
defense of the bill. and ^replied with!
a defending speech to every attack
upon the diEpensary provisions.
When the Ashby amendment was 1
lost. Ellis. Cimmaron and McIntosh |
counties, by special request of their
representatives, were permitted ti j
have their dispensaries located by tin j
state agent at the county seats and
in remote parts of the counties.
The Crouch and Branson substitute; I
for the Billups amended bill were re-
ferred to the prohibition committee
when the session opened and Mr
Crouch's attempt to have his bill con-
sidered was the first test of strength
between the forces. The motion tc
table his call for the bill carried over
whelmingly. Mr. Branson's amend
ment to cut out the 25 per cent profit
which the state will receive from the
liquor sales was defeated.
By Smith of Custer, prescribing
qualifications for applicants for mar-
riage licenses; by Wortman of Okfus-
kee, creating a land appraising |
board; by .lapp of Comanche, pro-
viding for transfer <Tf real estate in !
new counties; two by Sands of Bea\
er, a banking bill and one to allow
counties to issue bonds for bridge. . \
Representatives Beck. Ellis and
Bridges were added to the judiciary j
committee at the request of the chair- j
man of that committee, who asked
for some members who were not law- j
yers. Speaker Murray's initiative and '
referendum bill, which had been
passed by the h'ouse Saturday with ;
the exception of two sections, was ;
passed and signed by the speaker.
Two republicans, led by Stanford !
of Okmulgee, renewed their attack j
upon the Brook bill in the senate and 1
by virtue of having gained support I
from the democratic side succeeded
in recommitting the bill to the mu-
nicipal corporations committee. Thi::
bill provides for the creation of cit ;
ies of the first class, as provided in
I the constitution, except that it en- i
larges upon the constitution by pro-
viding that 25 per cent of the qtiali ,
i fled voters may petition the governor 1
• to Issue a proclamation calling for an
j election.
Two chief objections were made j
One was the bill's departure from the <
method provided by the constitution I
; and the method afforded by the pres- '
' ent law. Another was to its provis-
ion that salaries of ccrtain city of-
ficials should be limit'eel to fees col
lected. Senator Brook asked leave u
amend t'ae bill by empowering cit> i
councils to regulate salaries of clt> j
officials. e
A )■• tltion frtfm Pottawatomie coun-
ty asked that a law be passed requir-
ing interurban railway companies op-

General Demand
of the Well-Informed of the World hm
always lycn for a simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; a laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its com-

In supplying that demand with its ex-

on the merits of the laxative for its remark-

strenuosity of the big town got on
the boy's nerves, and by bedtime h
was about run down. He tumbled
into bed quite regardless of certain
duties, but his father was more ob-
servant.
"Don't forget to say your prayers,
my boy," he said.
"O, what's the use, pop?" respond-
ed the boy. "God^p too busy over hero
to bother with a little thing like that."
The father was shocked, but under
the circumstances he thought it best
not to urge his son.—Llppincott'

All Lost.
David Belasco, the playwright and
manager, was talking about matinee
idols. "Strange," he said, "the fasci-
nation that they exert upon young
girls. I overheard the other day a
literary conversation that is apropos.
Two men were conversing. "Did you
ever read Shakespeare's "Love's La-
bor Lost"?' said the first. 'No,'
growled the second bald head, 'but
I've taken my best girl to the theater,
and heard her rave all through the
show about the leading man's heaven-
ly hair.'"
He Was Willing.
In the morning mail the busy editor
founjl the following written on a pos-
tal card: "Dear Sir—I have just grad-
uated from a correspondence school
of journalism. Would you like to
have me write for your paper? J.
Alexander McNutt."
Seizing his trusty pencil, the busy
editor dashed off the following reply:
"Dear J. Alex.—Certainly we would
be pleased to have you write for our
paper. Kindly address your letter to
the circulation manager and inclose
the regular subscription price.'1
RAILROAD MAN
Didn't Like Being Starved.
A man running on a railroad has to
be in good condition all the time or he
is liable to do harm to himself and
others.
A clear head is necessary to run a
locomotive or conduct a train. Even
a railroad man's appetite and diges-
tion are matters of importance, as the
clear brain and steady hand result
from the healthy appetite followed by
the proper digestion of food.
"For the past five years," writes a
railroader, "I have been constantly
troubled with indigestion. Every doc-
tor I consulted seemed to want to
starve me to death. First I was diet-
ed on warm water and toast until I
was almost starved; then, when they
would let me eat, the indigestion
would be right back again.
"Only temporary relief came from
remedies, and I tried about all of them
I saw advertised. About three months
ago a friend advised me to try Grape-
Nuts food. The very first day I no-
ticed that my appetite was satisfied,
which had not been the case before,
that I can remember.
"In a week, I believe, I had more
energy than ever before in my life. I
have gained seven ppunds and have
not had a touch of indigestion since
I have been eating Grape-Nuts. When
my wife saw how much good this food
was doing me she.thought she would
try It awhile. Ws believe the dis-
coverer of Grape-Nuts found the 'Per-
fect Food.'"
