PREPARE TO
TAKE CHARGE
ALL ARE EAGER TO GET INTO
THE HARNESS AND THE OLD
ONES ARE GLAD TO GET OUT
OF THE COURT HOUSE.
All of the county officers elect are
prepariae to take their respective
places or the pay roll when the board
of county commissioners convene the
first Monday In January. Judge Cham-
pion In coaching himself for the job
he wob over his competitors and
will be called upon to open the regu-
lar term of the county court before
he has been in office fifteen minutes
as that tribunal convenes the first
Monday in January. Judge Freeman
will move over on the other side of
the hall to the district judges cham-
bers and be ready for business as it
appears. Fred llaynie will have a bun-
dle of books and records to take over
from the county Judge's office and
will have a nice lot of probata mat-
ters to keep straight while he Is rest-
ing between spells from his duties as
clerk of the district court. Slielton
Tyre as county clerk will also have
a lot of records to look after a the
office of clerk and register of deeds
has been consolidated and there is
going to be some lively hustling on
the part of the employes allowed by
law in order to keep this department
in a flourishing condition.

before the people in the primary and
promised to do all the work in their
respective offices or at least the most
of it are going to find that promises
are far easier made than carried out
and that they are going to have all
and more than they can do to do the
work in their office with the deputies
allowed by law and the chances are
that the force will have to be added to
right at the jump.
The legislature in its wisdom (?)
sought to economize with the peo-
ple's cash by abolishing a lot of coun-
ty offices or rather consolidating them
very few of the ones higher up were
disturbed and the result is going to
be that in all probaillty some of the
laws passed at the recent legislature
are going to have to be repealed or
amended after the county officers be-
come aware of how futile their pre-
election promises are.
One county official stated yesterday
that he has had several years' experi-
ence in county work (and he is also
one of the re-elected ones) and that
he had no idea In the world that he
could do the work required in his of-
fice with the deputies allowed by law.
He stated that he was willing to work
all the day and pnrt of the time if
necessary but as he made no prom-
ises to the people about doing all the
work of the county he was going to
check it up to the county commission-
ers if he fell short of keeping his
books and records up to the minute.
The newly elected county officials
are planning for a little bnnquet soon
after they are introduced into office
get together and talk matters over as
to the best manner of getting along
together for the next two years the
outgoing officials seem satisfied that
their tasks have been well performed
and willing for others to take charge
for the next two years.
Following are the officers who will
receive the oath of office on the first
Monday in January 1915:
W. F. Freeman district judge; Tom
Champion county judge; F. S. Haynie
clerk of the courts (re-elected); Shel
ton Tyre county clerk; John Yell
county treasurer (re-elected) ; A. J.
Hardy county attorney; Ruck Gar-
rett sheriff (re-elected) It. S. liendon

elected) commissioner second district

NORTH STAR CHANGES
Astronomers Say Vega Will One Day
Be the Guiding Point.
Neptune's discovery iu 1S46 marked
the great triumph of mathematical as-
tronomy. Uranus hud failed to move In
Its orbit precisely as predicted and
astronomers were at a loss to explain
the fault. The difference between the
predicted and the actual positions was
extremely slight from a naked-eye
viewpoint but that there were differ-
ences showed that something was
wrong. Two men Adams of England
and Leverrler of France independent-
ly took up the solution of the problem
and not only each arrived at the con-
clusion that a planet exterior to Ura-
nus was causing the perturbation of
the latter but each computed this
amazing accuracy.
The observatory to which Leverirer
sent his calculations was the first to
recognize the planet within a very
short distance of where its position
had been figured. For many years
Adams was not given due credit for
tliis marvelous labors since though his
calculations were completed months
before those of Leverrier the astron-
omer royal of Kngland to whom Adams
sent his figures was too methodical
a man to take up the search for this
supposed planet until it was too late to
be first. It may be said that the two
men Adams and Leverrier fairly di-
vide the great honor.
The present north pole of the ce-
lestial sphere is close to a bright star
which is called in consequence Polaris
or the North Star; but owing to one of
the earth's motions a "wobble" on Its
axis like a huge top this pole is not
a constant point. In the course of
about 26000 years the earth's axis
describes a circle on the celestial
sphere so that 13000 years from now
I'olaris will be far from being the
North Star which honor will be held
by the bright star Vega of the Lyre
But 111000 years later I'olaris once
again will be in its present relative po-
sition to the north. Some 4000 years
ago Tliuban of the Dragon was the
North Star and it is said it was for
the purpose of viewing this star at all
times that the great slanting tunnel
In the Pyramid of Cheops was built.
The number of the stars is not
known with any approach to exact-
nest. It is certainly great. Estimates
have been given up to well over loO-
000000. The number visible to the
naked eye is about 6000. From "The
Essence of Astronomy" by Edward W.
Price.
Prompt Action Will Stop Your Cough.
When you first catch a Cold (often
indicated by a sneeze or cough) break
it up at once. The idea that "it does
not matter" often leads to serious com-
plications. The remedy which immedi-
ately and easily penetrates the lining
of the throat is the kind demanded.
Dr. King's New Discovery soothes the
Irritation loosens the phlegm. You
feel better at once. "It seemed to
reach the very spot ef my cough" Is
one of many honest testimonials. 60c

DEATH PENALTY QUESTION
IN THE SEIGLER CASE
Oklahoma City Dec. 6. Whether
Henry A. Seigler of Lawton sentenc-
ed to die Dec. 18 will receive a
stay of execution or a commutation to
life imprisonment from Governor
Cruce is a matter of general in-
terest. If the governor wishes ty keep hifl
own administration as clear of death
penalties as it has been and yet
give the law an opportunity to take
its course he may grant a brief stay
to postpone execution until after Gov.
Williams' Inauguration.
Governor. Williams Is not an anti-
doath penalty man. If the governor
wants to be certain that Seigler will
not suffer hanging for the murder of
William A. Stanford Comanche coun-
ty farmer he must grant him a com-
mulation to life Imprisonment before
Jan. 11.

SELLS ESTIMATE FOR INDIAN
BUREAU APPROPRIATION
Washington Dec. 6. Estimates fur-
nished the Indian committees by the
Indian bureau for the fiscal year end-
ing June .10 1016 contemplate ap-
propriations amounting to $9533000
about $250000 less than appropriated
for last year. Very few of the item
are increased. That for the sup-
pression of the liquor traffic is in-
creased from $100000 appropriated
last year to $125000.
A total of $175000 is asked for
administration of the affairs of the
five civilized tribes In Oklahoma.
Among the items is $83000 for pro-

DECISION IN PRODUCTION TAX
IS SAVING TO PRODUCERS
Oklahomu City Dec. 6. It Is es-
timated that the decision of the su-
preme court of the United States in
the gross production tax case against
the Choctuw Okahonia & Gulf Rail-
way company will save coal produc-
ers of this state an aggregate of
$.113000 In taxes that would have
been due had the law been sustained.
With the penalties added as provided
by law the tax now due had the law
been upheld would be atxMit half a
million dollars.
Two wrosB production taxes have
been placed on the statute books
since statehood. The first enacted in
1!)0S levied a tax of 2 per cent on
all coal marketed by coal companies.
In l!io:t the tax was reduced to one-
half of 1 per cent. Hoth taxes have
been resisted by the coal companies
The case decided by the supreme
court Is an old action based wholly
upon the tax of 2 mt cent. The
company Involved In the Instant case
was operating under a federal char
ter and In that respect occupied a
dlffurent position from some of the
other coal companies in this state.
Another point Involved in the
court's decision wherein the coal
company is held to be an instru-
mentality of the federal government
in carrying out its agreements with
the Indians affects all coal companies
In the state alike so far as they are
operating on Indian lands. Most of
the coal of Oklahoma is from Indian
lands.
