NEWS OF THE STATE
A Review of the Important Happenings in Oklahoma Condensed for
the Benefit of the Busy Reader Throughout the Country
LEAVES IT TO SCHOOL DIRECTOR JUDGE RULES ON PROHI. LAW
Question of Assessing School Tuition
Left to State Superintendent.
Cfcithrie, Okla.—The (Jueaton of how
toget some'revenue for the school dis
trict oat of farmers who moe to town
in the fall In order to escure scnooi
advantages for their children and then
move back to the farm again before
any taxes can be collected from them
by the city is bothering C. O. Gose, a
school director of Hennessey.
Mr. Gose addressed a letter to state
Superintendent E. D. Cameron stating
that many farmers were educating
their children in this way and ask
ing if there is any law by which they
could be required to pay taxes to
help support "he school which they
patronize. Assistant Superintendent J.
W. Wiliknson replied that under the
school laws of Oklahoma school di-
rectors can make such laws as they
deem necessary and fix tuition fees
for non-resident patrons of the schools

require a certain term of residence in
a town or city before parents would be
entitled to free use of the city school
for their children
Rail Chiefs Open Flflht.
Oklahoma City—The first move mi
ihe fight of certain interests to amend
Article 9, Section 9, of the state con-
stitution, a move which has been agi-
tated since early May, was undertaken
throughout the state Monday when,
primarily at the itsnance of Dorset
Carter, president of the Oklahoma Cen-
tral Railway, petitions were circulate^
asking Governor Haskell to cali a
special election for the purpose of con-
sidering the elimination of the section
referred to.
Mr. Carter has been laying plans
for some weeks past for the promul-
gation of the petitions. The section
ia question prevents one railroad from
owning or controlling another in the
btate unless it maintain separate gen-
eral offices and a distinct management
with offices in the state.
The petition is backed by the Feder-
ation of Commercial clubs of the state,
and the specific relief sought, though
unofficial, is* the absorption of the Ok-
lahoma Central railioad by the Santa
Fe. Under the present law this is
prohibited by the constitution.
"Near Beer" as Intoxicating Liquor is
Prohibited by Billings Law.
Guthrie, Okla.—Enforcement Attor-
ney Fred S. Caldwell has received a
copy of the instructions given by
Pudge William Howies of Perry to the
grand Jury there on the "near beer"
question, sustaining Caldwell's -posi-
tion that their sale is forgiddeu by
the prohibitory law, and expects that
an opportunity will be given there for
a lest case of that point, which has
never yet been decided by the court.;.
In his instructions Judge Bowles
said:
'"fhe Billups bill provides that
spirituous, vinous, fermented or malt
liquors, or any imitation thereof or
substitute therefor, the traffic therein
shall be prohibited. Malt liquor and
fermented liquor doesn't have to be
beer, as generally understood it
doesn't have to be Amber Mead, it
doesn't have to be Red Top, Loilg-
horn or anything of that sort. When
a beverage has malt in it. it then be-
comes malt liquor and when the state
shows that it is malt liquor, amd
shows a sale thereof, the defense of
non-intoxicating, or whether it con-
tains leas than one-half of one ,ier
cent of alcohol is immaterial; in
other words, the court means to say
that when the state has established
the article disposed of, bartered or
given away, as malt liquor, the ques-
tion as to whether it is intoxicating
or non-intoxicating is no defense.
"That portion of the Billups bill
which provides that liquor, mark the
languae, LIQUOK, not malt liquor,
containing less than one-half of one
per cent shall pass muster, from every
fair construction that can be placed
on the bill, means liquors which have
been medicated, such as bitters and
decoctions of that sort, that may be
used as a beverage."
To Recdlaim Overflow Lands.
Guthrie, Okla.—Pawnee county is
Imping for some government assist-
ance in draining the overflow districts
along Black Bear Creek. W. J. Mc-
Eathron, supervising drainerge engi-
neer of the department of agriculture,
who made the plans for Deep Fori'
drainage work in Lincoln county, has
been looking over the situation and
makes an encouraigng report. He
thinks that Black Bear can be straigfc'
<necl and the channel cleaned out at:
a cost of considerably less than $5
?;er acre to abutting farms and the
work could probably be dene for from
$2.."Q to $:! per acre.

Strother St., Mt.
Sterling, Ky. "Had
I not used Doan's

Mrs. Hlpson. "My eyesight was poor,
I suffered with nervous, splitting head-
aches, spots would dance before my
eyes and at times I would be so dizzy

support. My back was so weak and
painful 1 could hardly bend over to but-

A New One About Napoleon.
A "new" story about Napoleon is
necessarily doubtful; the probability
is that it is simply so old that it has
been forgotten. However, here is one
that Arthur M. Chuquet prints in
L'Opinion as never before published.
It relatesto Napoleon and Blucher.
The emperor received the general
at the castle of Finkenstein, while he
was preparing for the siege of Danzig.
He drew him to a window in an upper
3tory and paid him compliments on
his military gifts, and Blucher, going
away delighted, described the inter-
view to his aide-de-camp. "What a
chance you missed!" exclaimed the
'atter. •
"You might have changed the whole
course of history."
"How?"
"Why, you might have throv-n him
out of the window."
"Confound it!" replied Blucher. "So
I might! If only I had thought of it."
—New York Evening Post.
Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric Is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear-
ing quality of the goods. This trou-
ble can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as It can be applied
much more thinly because of its great-
er strength than other make3.
Hia Size Was Known.
"I want some collars and neckties
for my husband!" she snapped.
"Yes, madam."
The clerk offered her the latest
thing.
"What size are these?" asked the
lady.
"Why, twelve and a half, madam!"
"How on earth did you guess that?"
"Ah," replied the clerk, smiling,
gentlemen who let their wives select
their collars and ties always take that
size!"
The extraordinary Dopularity of fine
white goods this summer makes the
choice of Starch a matter of great im-
portance. Defiance Starch, being free
from all injurious chemicals, is the
only one which is safe to use on fine
fabrics. It great strength as a stiffen-
er makes half the usual quantity of
Starch necessary, with the result of
perfect finish, equal to that when the
goods were new.
Hypocrite in the Hereafter.
Dr. Madison C. Peters was discuss-
ing the question. "Will the coming
man marry?" He instanced a certain
type of bachelor.
"This man," he said, "is a hypo-
crite. He uses his religion as a
cloak."
"And what will he do in the next
world, eh?" said the reporter.
"Oh," said Dr. Peters, "he won't
need any cloak there."

CHAUTAUQUA WISDOM.
KTRMHIS'
HMtNMfr?
One of the Chautauqua talkers says:
"Husbands, let your wives have an
extra dollar now and then." He might
have rendered a groater service to
mankind by saying: "Wives, let your
husbands have an extra dime occa-
sionally without asking them to ex-
plain why they want the money."
FALL PAINTING.
The majority of property owners
are under the impression that spring
time is the only painting time. But
the fall of the year offers several ad-
vantages to the painter. One of the
most important is that surfaces are
almost sure to be dry, and there is no
frost or inner moisture to work out
after the paint is applied.

Carnations Go to Sleep.
Florists often suffer losses through
a habit carnations have of sometimes
"going to sleep" and never opening
again. A series of experiments made
in the Hull botanical laboratory and
described in the Botanical Gazette
makes it seems probable that this
"sleep" is caused by the effect of il-
luminating gas, to which, even in very
small quantities, these flowers are
surprisingly "sensitive.

TAKE
Fooled Them Thirteen Years.
Frank Nelson, former state superin-
tendent of public instruction of Kan-
sas, and "Cap." Gibson, the veteran
record clerk in Auditor Nation's of-
fice, are great friends. Nelson is now
president of a Minnesota college.
When Nelson was still in the state
house he and Gibson had a talk one
day about teaching school. "I was
once a school teacher," volunteered
Gibson.
"Is that so?" asked Nelson. "How
long?"
"Yes, I fooled 'em 13 years," re-
plied "Cap."
"How is that?" asked Nelson.
"Oh," 6aid "Cap.," "I quit when
teachers had to qualify."—Kansas City

AT ALL DRUG STORES
Sheer white goods, in fact, any fine
wash goods when new, owe much of
their attractiveness to the way they
are laundered, this being done in a
manner to enhance their textile beau-
ty. Home laundering would be equal-
ly satisfactory if proper attention ^was
given to starching, the first essential
being good Starch, which has sufficient
strength to stiffen, without thickening
the goods. Try Defiance Starch and
you will be pleasantly surprised at the
Improved appearance of your work.
Its Troubles.
Tne family skeleton complained.
"I wouldn't mind being exhibited
once in awhile," said the skeleton, ar-
ticulating with difficulty through its
•set teeth, "but they air me so fre-
quently In the courtroom, where the
air is always notoriously bad."
But who ever thinks of looking at
such exhibitions from the family skel-
eton's point of view?
The Root of Altruism.
The three eternal roots of altruistic
energy are these: First, the principle
of justice; that there is a moral law
before which all men are equal, sp
that I ought to help my neighbor to
his rights. Second, the principle of
charity;that I owe infinite tenderness
to any shape or kind of man, however
unworthy or useless to the state.
Third, the principle of free will; that
I can really decide to help my neigh-
bor, and am truly disgraced if I do not
do so. To this may be added the
idea of a definite judgment; that is,
that the action will at some time ter-
ribly matler to the helper and the
helped.—G. K. Chesterton.
With a smooth iron and Defiance
Starch, you can launder your shirt-
waist just as well at home as the.
steam laundry can; it will have the
proper stiffness and finish, there will
be less wear and tear of the goods,
and it will be a positive pleasure to
use a Starch that does not stick to the
Iron.
