New York, April —The cot'on
market was generally steady and quiet
today and closed steady, net - pciat>
lower to it higher. The market opened
steady at a de<line of 2 to "> points in
response to dull cables, a favorable re-
view of weather report* and the ac-
tion taken at the meeting of southern
manufacturers in unanimously recom
mending a more drastic curtailment
But there was considerable covering
by near months at the Initial decline.
Prices later firmed up, with the old
crop selling to a net gain^of 4 to "•>

Guthrie—The average Oklahoma
wage earner has 3.1 persons In bis
family; receives $6G8..riO in wages an-
nually; spends $240,9!) of this for food,
or 30 per cent of his total income; his
annual cost of living, including fuel,
clothing, sickness and rent, is $478.20.
His savings are unknown, the aver-
age dally cost for food for each mem-
ber of his family is 21 cents.
This average has been ascertained
by Labor Commissioner C. L. Dough-
erty after an exhaustive census of 223
wage earners, of 27 vocations, includ-
ing brick layers, school teachers, re-
tail clerks, conductors, miners, ma-
chinists, printers, etc.
Of the 223 wage earners who sub-
mitted their vital statistics, however,
about hallf earned less than the annual
average; 49 earned over $1,000; 24,
between $!)0 and $1,000; 21, between
$800 and $900; 27, between $700 anu
$800; 28, between $600 and $700; 30,
between $500 and $600; 30, betweeu
$100 and $300; 12 between $300 andj
$100.
Conductors seem to earn the most
annually of any of the vocations, those
reporting having an annual earning of
$1,443; pritners are also well paid, re-
ceiving $1,311; railroad engineers
averaged $1,302; the much abused
plumber averaged $1,146; firemen,
printing pressmen, electricians, boiler-
makers and machinists all average
about the same, between $1,005 and
$1,080 annually.
The intellectual school teacher must
undoubtedly feel that brains are at a
discount. Twenty-seven teachers em-
ployed in state institutions, averaged
$780 in earnings; 41 first grade teach-
ers averaged $677; 24 second grade
teachers averaged $527; 14 third
grade teachers $470 annually.-
The retail clerks averaged $658, bar-
bers, $808; painters. $865; carpenters,
$849; brakemen, $860; miscellaneous
occupations, $937. Evert the hod
carrier averages $580 annually, or con-
siderably more than second and third
grade teachers

Chickasha.—Condemnation suit ihas
been filed by President Carter of the
Oklahoma Central against property
owners that his road may enter the
city limits over its own track.- It now
comes in on the Rock Island. Suit
was filed some time ago, but techni-
calities were discovered that prevent-
the order being granted by the court.
.Many property owners are opposed to
the route the road will follow 'as it
proposes to locate the depot near the
choice residence section of the city on
tlie main street of the city.
To Vote for Court House.
Stillwater.—Payne county voters
will on June 11 pass upon the ques-
tion of a new court house, that date
having been fixed by the county com-
missioners following the filing with
them of a proper petition for an elec-
tion. This date coincides with the
one on which the state capital ques-
tion will be voted upon and it is be-
lieved that the court house proposition
will be looked npon favorably. It is
proposed to build a court house to
cost at least $60,000.
No Man ts Stronger
Than His Stomach
A strong man is strong all over. No man can be
strong who is suffering from weak stomach with its
consequent indigestion, or Crom some other disease
of the stomach and its associated organs, which im-
pairs digestion and nutrition. For when the stomach
is weak or diseased there is s loss of the nutrition
contained in food, which is the souroe of all physical
strength. When a man "doesn't feel just right,"
when he doesn't sleep well, has an uncomfortablo
feeling in the stomach after eating, is languid, nervous, irritable and despond^
ent, he is losing the nutrition needed to make strength.
Such a man should use Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. It cures diseases of the stomach and other
organs ot digestion and nutrition. It enriches the blood,
invigorates the liver, strengthens tho kidneys, **ourishes
the nerves, and so GIVES HEALTH 21KD STRENGTH TO
THE WHOLE BODY.

Guthrie.—Some interesting figures
in support of the corporation commis-
sion's freight rate and the two cent
passenger fare were presented at the
hearing before the commission this
week in the form of a comparison of
business and revenues prepared by the
commission auditor's department,
showing volume of business and reve-
nues prepared by the commission au-
ditor's department, showing volume of
business and revenue earned by the
forty railroads of the United States.
According to these figures the M. K.
& T. and the G. C. & S. F., two of the
railroads which recently secured tem-
porary injunctions against the com-
missioner's rates on the ground that
they were confiscatory, had the high-
est density of traffic and net earnings
per mile of any roads cited.
It was shown that in the matter of
density of passenger traffic the Katy
hauled 60 and the Gulf 91 passengers
per train miles in Oklahoma doring
the fiscal year ending June :',0, 1909.
No other railroad in the United States
shows an equal density of traffic. Next
in the comparison were the Grand
Rapids and Indiana railroad, with 59
passengers per train mile, the Houston
& Texas Central with 54, the Penn
sylvania with 54 and the Baltimore &
Ohio with 55. The number of passen-
ger carried one mile per mile of line
in Oklahoma was 187,681 on the Gulf
and 135,513 oft the Katy. Of the forty
roads compared only four exceeded
100,000. They were the C. R. I & L ,
(!. R. & I , T. & P , and C. & N. W.
Figures on fourteen of the forty roads,
including the Central of Georgia, At
lantic Coast Line, Mobile & Ohio, Soo
line. C. R. I & G. and Chicago, Peoria
& St Louis, show less than 75,000.
Figures were also presented to show
that the Oklahoma railroads are earn-
ing $100 of operating revenue at lower
operating expenses than elsewhere in
the country. The Gulf expended $56.96
in operating expenses to earn $100
revenue. None of the others showed
such a low figure. It is also declar-
ed that the net earnings of the Gulf in
Oklahoma were $6,492.81 per mile of
road and of the Katy $3,355.56. The
earnings of the Katy for its entire
system are $1,000 behind its net earn-
ings in Oklahoma, according to the
commission's figures, and the entire
line of the Gulf $4,000 behind its earn-
ings lu this state.
LIMBURGER AND THE LAW
Odorous Compound Responsible for
Some Trouble and a Little Al-
leged "Wit."
"Technically," said Judge Wells to
William Rung in the municipal court,
"you had the right on your side. How-
ever, you chose a form of cruel and
unusual punishment that cannot be
tolerated by this court. I'll have to
fine you one dollar."
It appears from the evidence,«that
Mr. Rung, who is a stereotyper, sat
down to luncheon with Edward Snider,
a fellow employee. The piece de resist-
ance of Rung's luncheon consisted of
limburger cheese, and Snider, who re-
gards himself as something of a wag,
had made certain remarks about the
cheese, reflecting particularly on its
odor. Thereupon Mr. Rung smeared
a piece of the cheese over the humor-
ous Snider's countenance.
"This," said Rung, as be stepped up
to pay his fine, "is the kind of justice
that smells to heaven."
"That will be about all from you,"
said the court bailiff; "cheese it!"—

Civilization and Missions.
There is a question that is larger
than government or trade, and that is
the moral well-being of the vast mil-
lions who have come under the protec-
tion of modern governments. The rep-
resentative of the Christian religion
must have his place side by side with
the man of government and trade, and
for generations that representative
must be supplied in the person of the
foreign missionary from America and
Europe. Civilization can only be per-
manent and continue a blessing to any
people if, in addition to promoting
their material well being, it also
stands for an orderly individual liber-
ty, for the growth of intelligence and
for equal justice in the administration
of law. Christianity alone meets these
fundamental requirements. The
change of sentiment in favor of the
foreign missionary in a single genera-
tion has been remarkable.

"We'll make him custom-house In-
spector," they declared.

Lightning Calculator's pathetic plea
at the psychological moment.
"If you would only cut out the
booze," he growled, "and pass up the
crap and dice and the handbook thing,
you wouldn't have to be touching your
friends for a grub-stake so regularly."
"Ah! You're like so many others,
my Philistine friend," sighed the
Lightning Calculators "it seems im-
possible for you to understand the ec-
centricities of genius!"—Los Angeles

Not Quite.
"Young man," inquired her father,
sternly, "will you give her a home like
the one she has been used to?"
"No," replied the truthful suitor,
"for there will be no grumpy father to
come home and make every one mis-
erable by bis kicking over trifles and
swearing at matters in general. There
will be no mother to scold her from
morning to night for wasting time
merely because she wants to be neat.
There will be no big brother to abuse
her for not doing half his work, and
no little brother to make enough noise
to drive her crazy when her head
aches. There won't be any younger
sister to insist on reading some trashy
novel while she does all the work.
She will not have with me a home like
she has been used to, not if I can help
it."—Puck.
