SiCK "CASCARETS"
Gently cleanse your liver
sluggish bowels while
you sleep.
and
Get a 10-cent box.
Sick headache, biliousness, dull-
ness, coated tongue, foul taste and foul
breath—always trace them to torpid
liver; delayed, fermenting food in the
bowels or sour, gassy stomach.
Poisonous matter clogged in the in-
testines, instead of being cast out
of the system is re-absorbed into the
blood. When this poison reaches the
delicate brain tissue it causes con-
gestion and that dull, throbbing, sick-
ening headache.
Cascarets immediately cleanse the
•tomach, remove the sour, undigested
food and foul gases, take the excess
bile from the liver and carry out all
the constipated waste matter and
poisons in the bowels.
A Cascaret to-night will surely
straighten you out by morning. They
■work while you sleep—a 10-cent box
from your druggist means your head
clear, stomach sweet and your liver
and bowels regular for months. Adv.
Never Got Through Beresford Book.
During the Boxer rebellion in China
one of the missionaries was reading
Lord Charles Beresford's book on "The
Break-up of China" while the bullets
of the Boxers were raining round.
He had not gone very far into the
volume when the pages wooed him
to sleep. The book lay beside him on
the pillow. Biff-ff-ff! came a Mann-
licher bullet through the window, in
a bee line for the man's head, but
Lord Charles' book lay in the bee line.
The bullet stuck In the book, but
failed to penetrate It.
The missionary Jumped up, gave
thanks for his escape, packed up the
book ready for the first parcel post,
and addressed to Lord Charles Beres-
ford with a polite note. He said: "My
Lord—I think it only right to send you
this copy of your excellent book .
as neither myself nor the Boxers' bul-
lets can get through It."
OLD SOLDIER WISHES TO
HELP SUFFERERS FROM KID-
NEY, LIVER AND BLADDER
TROUBLES.
I am frequently troubled with kidney
and bladder trouble, especially in the
Spring and Fall. Being an old Veteran
of the Civil War, a little exposure or
cold settles on my kidneys, and then
I am laid up with kidney or bladder
trouble. Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root was
recommended to me a number of years
ago, and I took a number of bottles of it
and was more than pleased with the re-
sults. I consider Swamp-Root the great-
est and best kidney medicine on the
market and it never fails to give quick
results in kidney trouble, bladder trouble
and lame back.
Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root has done me
so much good that I feel if any words of
mine will be the mean3 of relieving any
poor sufferers, that you are at liberty to
use this letter as you see fit.
Yours very truly,
GEORGE W.ATCHLEY,

Oklahoma City.—
Exercising for a second time in the
present session his prerogative of vot-
ing 1n case of a tie. Lieutenant Gov-
ernor M. E. Trapp cast his ballot to
amend the "bank robber" bill in the
senate, extending its terms to cover
all felonies. As amended and re-
drafted by a special committee ap-1
pointed by the senate committee of
the whole, the bill was extended to
include any felony committed "by the
aid of exploives, fire arms or other
force or violence." Spirited debate
preceded the vote.
Senator McIntosh made three at-
tempts to amend the bill as to the
amount to be appropriated to the re-
ward fund, his first motion being to
reduce the appropriation to $2,000.
Failing in this, he lodged a second
motion to reduce it to $5,000, and then
a third time to reduce the sum to $10,-
000, each of wich motions was
promptly voted down.
House concurrent resolution No. 4,
memorializing congress to pass the
Shepard-Hobson nation-wide prohibi-
tion amendment was passed by a vote
of 31 to 11. The resolution was op-
posed by Senators Davidson of Tulsa
and Davis of Sapulpa, and after its
passage Senator Mitchell gave notice
of his intention to lodge a motion to
reconsider the vote.
Final Passage for Two Bills.
House Bill No. 20, by Hunter of
Choctaw, making amendments design-
ed to strengthen the general statute
relating to crimes ana punishment for
perjury, and house bill No. 70, by Rep-
resentative E. E. Glasco, consolidat-
ing the offices of county clerk, clerk
of the county court and register of
deeds with the office of clerk of the
district court in McClain county, also
were passed finally.
To Increase Court Commission.
Legislation that will transfer the
authority of appointing members of
the supreme court commission from
the supreme court to the governor,
and perhaps increase the number of
commissioners, was foreshadowed in
action taken by the house.
The bill providing for continuation
of the commission as now constituted
and continuing the present method of
appointing commissioners was under
consideration by the house in com-
mittee of the whole wnen an amend-
ment by Representative N. B. Maxey
of Muskogee, proposing that the gov-
ernor should appoint members of the
commission was adopted by a big
vote.
At the same time Mr. Maxey pro-
posed an amendment that would in-
crease the number of commissioners
from six to fifteen. Discussion on
this amendment finally resulted in the
bill being recommitted to the house
committee on judiciary without i
structions. The debate, however, on
the floor of the house, and the vote
on the first amendment was sufficient
to indicate beyond doubt sentiment in
favor of increasing the number of
commiesioners and placing their ap
pointment In the hands of the gov-
ernor.
New "County Line" Bill.
With the avowed purpose of defeat-
ing the plan to organize the new coun-
ty of Shaffer with Cushing as its
county seat, Senator Edmonson
pressed his new county and county
line bill to its third reading and final
adoption in the senate. The territory
most vitally affected by the bill has
no representative in the senate and it
met no opposition insofar as the in-
terests of the newly proposed county
are concerned.
This measure makes two important
changes in the present law and re-
quires an affirmative vote of 60 per
cent of the qualified voters of any
given territory to detach it from one
county and attach It to another. The
old law only required a bare majority.
The second change extends the dis-
tance from ten to fifteen miles. By
the terms of the Edmonson bill no
county line can be so changed as to
locate a county line nearer than fif-
teen miles to the county seat, while
the law, as it now exists, fixes the
limit at ten miles.
The house voted to dismiss the con-
test of W. W. Whitmore, republican,
against C. L. Pinkham, who was elect
ed a member of the house from Kay
county by a plurality of one vote.
The senate has passed a law amend-
ing the Harris-Day Code by the pro-
visions of which the board of agrlcul
ture may take a census of the state
through the county assessors and the
county clerks. The board of agricul-
ture may furnish blanks to the asses-
sors and that individual is to perform
the service required In conjunction
with his work as listing property for
taxation The census work will be
3one without pay. The provision of
the law was suggested by President
Frank Gault of the board of agricul-
ture

Important Agreement.
An Important agreement with refer-
ence to appropriation bills has been
reached between the appropriation
committees of the house and senate,
by the terms of which the work has
been divided between the two
branches of the legislature, with a
view of expediting action and saving
time. It is agreed that all appropria-
tion bills for the secondary agricul-
tural schools, the A. & M. college, the
penitentiary and reformatory schools
and the general appropriation bill
shall be introduced and considered
first in the house. The work in the
way of appropriations in the senate
will be that relating to normal
schools, the state university, school
of mines, charitable institutions, the
general deficiency bill and the state
capitol.
The committees request that all ap-
propriation bills be introduced not
later than February 1. and by this
melhodical way of handling the appro-
priation measures it is hoped to avoid
any of the disagreeable and entangling
difficulties encountered by the fourth
legislature.
Automobile racing associations,
baseball clubs and other bodies whose
purpose is to promote amusement en-
terprises, will be enabled to incorpor-
ate under the laws of Oklahoma, if a
bill offered in the house by Represen-
tative J. H. Wright of Oklahoma City
becomes a law. It is not thought that
any opposition will arise toward the
measure inasmuch as it is wanted by
several sections of the state, includ-
ing Muskogee, Tulsa. Okmulgee, and
Sapulpa, as well as Oklahoma City.
Capitol Contracts Awarded.
It was announced by the state cap-
itol commission, that contracts have
been let by that body for all the ma-
terials that will go Into the basement
of the building. The total amount of
the contracts let is $79,426, and they
embrace all the materials that will go
into the portions of the basement and
sub-basement of the capitol that are
not yet completed.
Pensions for ex-Confederate soldiers
and their widows Is proposed in a bill
introduced by Senator M. M. Ryan of
Poteau. Should th.s bill become a
law the old soldiers would be paid
$120 per year and widows of ex-Con-
federate soldiers would be cared for at
the rate of $100 per year.
No more deputy county attorneys in
counties with a population of fewei
than 40,000 is the law sought to ba
enacted by Senator O'Neill. In pre-
senting the bill the senator contended
that it would bring about a saving of
over $60,000 per annum to the tax-
payers of the state and further sug-
gests that the present expenditure of
this sum is worse than waste.
More public service corporation leg<
islation is suggested by a bill intro-
duced by Senator Davidson of Tulsa,
While the bill by its general terms re-
lates to all public service corporations
the real purpose of its supporters 19
to reach the oil pipeline companies and
to compel them to appear before tho
cororatlon commission and give bond
to provide adequate facilities for tha
transportation of all oil offered.
A concurrent resolution proposing
that neither branch of the legislature
permit the introduction of bills after
February 1 except committee bills and
bills specifically roc> mmended by the
governor was Introduced by Repre-
sentative W. T. Powell of Cotton and
Comanche counties.
A new house resolution Is by Mc-
Cance of Woodward and proposes sub-
mission of a constitutional amendment
that will reduce the size of the legis-
lature to a senate of twenty-one mem-
bers and house of seventy-seven mem-
bers.

pany. On this rate a showing was
made that the income of the company
for the past year was $1,218 10, while
tho expenses were $1,346.19. The
company wanted to charge $1.50 for
! residence and $2.50 for business
} phones. wThe commission allowed a
rate of $1.25 a montn for residence
and $2.50 for business phones.

Impromptu Solo.
Pierre Garat, the singer and exquls-
te of Napoleonic Frauce, was not
nerely a glass of fashion and a won-
lerful, self-instructed singer, but an
irtlst devoted to his nrt. But is the
ollowing, asks Mr. Bernard Miall In
bis biography, an example of sincerity
In art, or of love of attracting atten-
tion?
Coupigny had supplied htm with u
"romance" to be set to music When-
ever the two met, Garat replied, "I
have not hit upon an Idea as yet."
One day Coupigny was walking down
the Rue Neuve-des-Petlts-Champs.
Hearing a sound of some one running
behind him, he turned; it was Garat,
who seized him by the arm, dragged
him up the stairs of a neighboring
house, and, halting on the first landing,
exclaimed, "I've got It!" At once he
began to sing the romance through at
the top of his voice. The Inhabitants
of the house began to open their doors;
heads were projected over the ban-
isters; finally they began to approach;
but Garat, having finished, tore down
the stairs like a monkey, dragging the
bewildered poet with him.—Youth's
Companion.

"Oh, hopelessly so. She is still

cards!"

"Where do you suppose the expres-
sion 'not in It' arose?"
"Probably with Adam and Eve."
