NATIONAL GUARD
IN FINE CONDITION
MAJOR WM, BLACK, U. S. A., SUB
MITTED HIS RREPORT.
Regular Army Officer Speaks in
Flattering Tones of the Per-
sonnel of the Regiment
Members.
Guthrie.—The annual inspection of
the Oklahoma National Guard has
been completed by Major William
Black, U. S. A., and he has submitted
a lengthy report to the secretary of
war at Washington. Upon the result
of this report will depend the govern-
ment funds for the maintenance of the
national guard for the fiscal year,
commencing July 1.
"It is safe to say in advance," de-
clared Major Black, "that our militia
will participate according to its full
strength in all allotments. The
amount is estimated at $40,000 for
camp purposes and supplies."
Various notations were made In Ma-
jor Black's report under the head of
remarks and recommendations, such
as the number of officers and men,
military appearance, condition of
arms, physical condition of men, offi-
cers' capacity for exercising command,
scope of drills, marches, camps of in-
struction and much other information
of interest and value to the war de-
partment. Under qiost of these head-
ings marked progress over preceding
years is shown. As an example, it is
cited in 1909, a considerable deficiency
was voted in various equipments, such
as leggings, canteens and other arti-
cles. Commands of 60 and 70 men
then lacked many necessary articles.
To correct this condition, Adjutant
General Canton held a special. Inspec-
tion to determine what equipment was
necessary and promptly obtained them
from the national supply depots, using
about $15,000 of the government's al-
lotment for the purpose.
Free Distribution of Children.
Tulsa.—The Sisters of Charity of the
New York Foundling and Orphan
asylum announce, through their rep-
resentative, Joseph C. Butler, that
having received numerous applications
'rom Catholic families in Oklahoma
for children upon whom there are no
claims, a special car of two-year-old
boys will leave New York the latter
part of this month. This will be the
last chance this year, it is stated, that
Catholic families wishing these child-
ren (selected for health, intelligence
and good dispositions), and applica-
tions for same must be made to some
Catholic clergyman. These children
will be sent out here free of any ex-
pense to those who might take them
to raise, and it is announced that the
Institution sending them out will take
them back at any time up to twelve
years of age.
COTTON MARKET.
New York, April 11.—The cotton
market opened steady at an advance
of 2 to 5 points on the old crop, but
unchanged to 2 poinis lower on the
new in response to easier cables and
week-end realizing. There appeared
to bo little May for sale and that
month held steady at an advance of
from 2 to 4 points, but later positions
eased off to a loss of 6 to 9 points
during the early session In the absence
of bull support. Weather advices were
considered favorable. Rumors of pos-
sible labor difficulties in Lancashire
were denied by private cables.
Ft. Louis, April 11.—Cotton, steady;
middling, 14 3-4c; sales, none; re-
ceipts, r.Gfi bales; shipments, 6ti6 bales;
stock, 39,495 bales.
Qalveston, Tex., April 11.—Cotton,
steady, 14 7-16c.
Capital Site Fight Is On.
Proclaim a Holiday.
Guthrie.—In order to wage a more
effective fight against the Carter
amendment to the constitution, re-
pealing article nine, section nine of
the Oklahoma constitution with a view
of facilitating the building and acquir-
ing of new railway lines within the
state, the executive boards of the
state federation of labor and the far-
mers' unions have decided to proclaim
a holiday on June 11 when the vote is
to be taken on the proposed amend-
ment so that all laboring mon may go
to the polls. An effort is being made
to secure the presence of Samuel
Gompers In the state to make speeches
against the proposed amendment.
Coatly Home for Oil Man.
Tulsa.—Robert Galbrcath, discover-
er of the Glenn Oil field and who has
made a large fortune out of oil, has lot
the contract for a residence to be
erectecd at Thirteenth and South
Boulder avenue in his city, to cost
$33,000.
For State Confederate Home.
Ardmore.—The building committee
of the State Confederate honm awaru-
ed the contract to C. F. Fralcy of
Ardmore. His bid was $23,490 and
was the lowest filed with the commit-
tee. Mr. Fraley is a Confederate sol-
died himself. Construction work is to
begin at once and the committee plans
to have the cornerstone laid with Ma-
sonic ceremony on St. John's day,
June 24. The home will be built by
private subscription and Dr. Halley, a
member of the commitee, says there
will be no delay in construction for
want of funds. One hundred appli-
cants of old soldiers are now on the
file awaiting the completion of the
building.
Guthrie.—Oklahoma is lnovlved in a
contest for the permanent location of
the state capital. The election has
been called for June 11 by Governor
Haskell, giving the three candidates
entered for capital honors, Guthrie,
Oklahoma City and Shawnee, a little
over two months in which to make a
statewide campaign. Iloth Guthrie
and Oklahoma City are already active-
ly engaged in the fight, having ap-
pointed committees, raised campaign
funds and outlned tentatively at least
the nature of the campaign they will
make. Shawnee, it Is understood, soon
will name committees and get into
the active fight.
The location is to be made under the
terms of a bill initiated by Oklahoma
City, which embraces some of the fea-
tures of the New Jerusalem plan, pro-
viding that the capital site may be
chosen either within the corporate
limits of one of the cities entered as
candidates or within five miles of
either city.
If a majority of the votes cast at
the election favor the bill the city re-
ceiving a majority or plurality of the
votes cast on the location will become
the permanent capital site. If the bill
fails of adoption the votes on location
will not be effective. If in the June elec-
tion no candidate receives a majority
or plurality of the votes cast on loca-
tion, a second election will be held
under .the terms of the bill. In which
the two receiving the highest number
of votes in the first election will be
the candidates.
The bill provides for a state" capital
commission composed of three quali-
fied electors to be appointed by the
governor, not more than two of which
shall be of the same political party.
Each commissioner must give a $50,000
bond. The commission shall have
power to definitely locate the site of
the capitol buildings, within or near
the city chosen as the capita llocatlon,
to secure the title to all lands neces-
sary for capitol purposes and for all
buildings and state institutions which
the state may, establish there.
The bill appropriates $300,000 out of
the general revenue funds derived
from the sale of the common school
lands, which shall be at the disposal
of the commission to use In the pur-
chase of not to exceed 2,000 acres of
land located within or not more than
five miles from the city selected as
the permanent capital. If the com-
mission cannot arrange with the pri-
vate owners for the purchase of this
land it is given the power to exercise
the right of eminent domain and con-
demn the land for the use of the state.
State Agency Bill Vetoed.
Guthrie.—Governor Haskell on his
return from Atlanta announced that
he had vetoed the bill providing for
the repeal of the state agency provis-
ions of the Billups prohibition law.
His principal reason given was that it
contained a "joker" which would per-
mit liquor dealers to have liberties in
Oklahoma.
For More Rhodes Scholarships.
Norman.—The next qualifying ex-
amination for the Cecil Rhodes schol-
arship will be held at the University
of Oklahoma about the middle of Oc-
tober, 1910. Two students of Okla-
homa University have received schol-
arships at Oxford. They are Keller
and Kline.
"Uncle Joe" To Visit Tulsa.
Tulsa.—Secretary, D'. B. Gore of tfie
Tulsa Chautauqua has received a let-
ter from Speaker Joseph G. Cannon
in which "Uncle Joe" accepted an in-
vitation to speak at the Chautauqua
to be held early in July. It will be
his first appearance In this section of
the new state.
Indian Lands to Sell.
Sulphur.—Will D. Baker, superin-
tendent of United States Indian agen-
cies under the commission of Indian
affairs, was In Sulphur and announced
that 3,000 acres of Indian lands in the
five nations Is soon to be sold through
his department.

GETTING HIS IDIOMS MIXED
German-American May Have Meanl
Well, But His Directions Were
Somewhat Complex.
Passengers on a New York street
car were treated to some choice exam-
ples of German-American English
when a stout, gentleman with a robust
voice started to relate to a friend
his adventures of tho previous night.
"Twelf o'glock it wass when he
come alretty," said the stout .man,
"und on de toor rap."
"But," said his companion, "It was
only about ten o'clock when he started
over there."
"Veil, twelf o'glock it wass when
he comes alretty und on de toor rap.
Und I tell him de dogtor he vant, he
shouldn't go de frondt vay oudt, de
side vay roundt und de pack vay oop,
und chust as blain as dot. Und den de
plame fool, he rap yet und vake efery-
pody de house in. Den I put mysell
my pants on und maype I don't pall
him oudt. 1 call him a chumbp und a
lopster—"
"No," laughed his friend, "you sure
ly didn't call him that.'
"Call him dot?" snorted the fat man.
"Say, I call him eferything I can lay
my hands on."
Hopeless.
"Your store is no good, sir! I
asked for lace curtains last week, and
1 couldn't get 'em."
"Indeed?"
"Yes. And I asked for silk socks
yesterday, and I couldn't get 'em."
"That's strange."
"And to-day I asked for credit, and
can't even get that. Is this a regu-
lar store, or what?"
Algy Explains.
"What do you suppose, Algernon,"
the young thing asked, "is the reason
the ocean is salty?"
"I am sure I don't know," drawled
Algy, "unless it is because there are
so many salt fish in it."—Success.

character than any single act of hero-

ABANDONED IT
For the Old Fashioned Coffee Was
Killing.
"I always drank coffee with the rest
of the family, for it seemed as if there
was nothing for breakfast if we did
not have it on the table.
"1 had been troubled some time
with my heart, which did not feel
right. This trouble grew worse steadily.
"Sometimes it would beat fast and
at other times very slowly, so that I
would hardly be able to do work for
an hour or two after breakfast, and if
I walked up a hill, it gave me a se-
vere pain.
"I had no idea of what the trouble
was until a friend suggested that per-
haps it might bo caused by coffee
drinking. I tried leaving off the coffee
and began drinking Postum. The
change came quickly. I am now glad
to say that I am entirely well of the
heart trouble and attribute the relief
to leaving off coffee and the use of
Postum.
"A number of my friends have aban-
doned the old fashioned coffee and
have taken up with Postum, which
they are using steadily. There are
some people that make Postum very
weak and tasteless, but if it is boiled
long enough, according to directions,
it is a very delicious beverage. We
have never used any of the old fash-
ioned coffee since Postum was first
started in our house."

WASTED A FORTUNE ON SKIN
TROUBLE
"I began to have an Itching over my
whole body about seven years ago and
this settled in my limb, from the knee
to the toes. I went to see a great maay
physicians, a matter which cost me a
fortune, and after I noticed that I did
not get any relief that way, I went for
three years to the hospital. But they
were unable to help me there. I used
all the medicines that I could see but
became worse and worse. I had aq
inflammation which made me almost
crazy with pain. When I showed my
foot to my friends they would get
really frightened. I did not know
what to do. I was so sick and had be-
come so nervous that I positively lost
all hope.
"I had seen the advertisement of
the Cuticura Remedies a great many
times, but could not make up my mind
to buy them, for I had already used so
many medicines. Finally I did decide
to use the Cuticura Remedies and I
tell you that I was never so pleased as
when I noticed that, after having used
two sets of Cuticura Soap, Cuticura
Ointment and Cuticura Pills, the en-
tire inflammation had gone. I waa
completely cured. I should be only
too glad If people with similar disease
would come to me and find out .tha
truth. I would only recommend them
to use Cuticura. Mrs. Bertha Sachs,

"Mrs. Bertha Sachs ts my slster-!n-
