Subject to Taxation They Make a Poor
Investment for the Man Who
J Depend* Upon His Income
for a Living.
Guthrie.—The senate has passed the
Redwine bill providing for a new sys-
tem of handling public building war-
rants, after a lively debate over the
amendment by Billups which proposed
to cut out the provision of the bill,
making the warrants nontaxable.
Billups defended his position on the
ground that the adoption of the 'bill
as it stood would be in the interest of
the rich man, exempting the sort of
property in which he would invest his
money from taxation, while the poor
man had to pay full taxes on his. Sen-
ator Taylor defended the Billups
amendment, declaring that it was
laughable to hold that the provisions
of the constitution as to what proper-
ty should be exempted from taxation
could be construed to include these
warrants, and that if they were not
exempted by the constitution the leg-
islature had no power to exempt them.
Senator Campbell Russell was also
inclined to take Taylor's view of the
matter.
"I hate to see the senate trying to
construe the constitution," he said.
"We tried it last year, when we tried
to create a new state board to super-
cede all other boards, but when it
came up to the supreme court they
said we couldn't do it."
"The first issues at any rate will
have to be sold within the state," he
said, "and you know that no man will
be willing to pay 4 per cent taxes on
an investment that brings him only 5
per cent interest."
The retention of the exempting pro-
vision was also defended by Senator
Soldani, who declared that if the con-
stitution prohibited it, the constitution
was wrong and ought to be changed.
"It's a grand constitution," he said,
"but we find something wrong in it
nearly every day. If a provision of
this kind is not inserted the warrants
will be discounted 10 per cent and we
will lose more than the taxes would
amount to."
On roll call the Billups amendment
was defeated, 13 to 22, and the dis-
puted provision remained iq. the biil
as it was sent to the house.
The senate also adopted the house
resolution by Lincoln, Dixon, Heim
and Millsap, asking the government to
attest in straightening Deep Fork riv-
er through Creek, Okmulgee, Okfus-
kee and McIntosh counties, because of
the fact that a very large portion of
the land affected was full blood In-
dian allotments and not taxable for
such Improvements.
In the house Representative Hum-
phrey, Republican, who filed the
charges against the school land de-
partment, spoke at length on a ques-
tion of personal privilege in regard to
the answer of the department, which
declared that his charges were filed
either through ignorance of the con-
stitution and the laws, or willfully
and maliciously. He resented this im-
putation on his good faith and insisted
that the constitution sustain his posi-
tion.
New Vork.
New York. Feb 12—The cotton mar-
ket opened steady at a decline of S
points on over-night buying orders
But Liverpool cables were somewhat
disappointing, many of yesterday's
buyers were taking profits and as
room traders saw that long cotton was
coming out there was some local bear
pressure under which the active
months sold off to a net loss of about
6 to 8 points Business was quiet dur-
ing the middle of the morning.

ceipts, 1,140; shipments, 1,084; stock,

Confederate Home Assured.
Guthrie.—The senate finally passed
the house bill bv Maxey, Gilmer and
Casteel, appropriating $20,000 for the
support of the Confederate Home at
Ardmore; advanced to engrossment
for final passage the county assessors'
bill, and took up the consideration in
committee of the whole of the Smith
Durham fee and salary bill.
In the house the governor's bill lim-
iting county and local tax levies failed
of passage, because of the absence of
many members, who were interested
in the Haskell probe. The vote was
51 for the bill and 0 against. A mo-
tion was lodged to reconsider and it is
certain the bill will pass.
The senate received the support of
the joint code committee, which recom-
mends that the minority report of the
code commission, prepared by Harris
of Oklahoma City, and Day of Mc-
Alester, be accepted.
If the committee is sustained the
legislature will pass on the Harris-Day
code, and will employ one to index,
annotate and print it as it will be
ready for adoption when the next leg-
islature meets. Thomas and Brown-
lee, Republicans, and Hayes, Demo-
crat, offered the majority report of
the code commission, claiming the
work had not been completed and ask-
ing for an appropriation and more
time.
Biood Poison From Wheat Beard.
Gas and Oil Well.
Bartlesville.—A. D. Morton has
brought in a well in Copan district, it
is a number 1 on the Josie Buffalo
land and is drilled to the Bartlesville
sand, making 15.000,000 feet of gas
a day and about 200 barrels of oil.
Butler.—S. W. Baker, had the mis-
fortune to run a wheat beard into his
foot recently. He gave the incident
no thought, and in a few days his foot
began to swell and pain him a great
deal. He thought it would be all
right in a few days. He went to Foss
to have some dental work done and
when the dentist examined his teeth
he told him he wouldn't work on them
and he better see a physican. He did
so. and the doctor told him he had
blood poison in his foot.
Bitten By Mad Dog.
Pryor.—While going along the road
near the county poor farm, James Mar-
tin was bitten six times by a mad dog.
The dog went on up through Salina
and down along the river bottom
where it bit a cow, dog and horse at
Mr. Hite's farm, where it was shot.
Omaha, Neb., Feb. 9.—The most
interesting feature of the enormous
sale of the Cooper preparations, now
going on in this city, is what the med
icines are actually accomplishing
among the people of Omaha.
At the commencement of his visit
here Mr. Cooper prophesied that dur-
ing the later part of his stay he would
receive hundreds of callers daily who
came simply to thank him for what
the preparations had done. He also
stated that stomach trouble is the
foundation for a great many diseases
and that his New Discovery, as it is
3alled, would prove very effective in
all cases of rheumatism simply by
getting the stomach in working order.
That this prophecy has been fulfilled
cannot be doubted after a half-hour
spent at the young man's headquar-
ters listening to what his callers have
to say.
A reporter, who watched to ascer-
tain, if possible, some light on the
reasons for the immensity of Coop-
er's success, interviewed about twenty
of his callers yesterday afternoon. The
statements made by those seen indi
cate that physicians who claim that
Cooper is merely a passing fad, have
not looked into the facts.
Some of these statements were as
follows:
W. J. Grant, a popular cigar dealer
at 508 South Sixteenth street, upon
being questioned, said: "After a most
remarkable experience with the Cooper
remedies, I cannot refrain from saying
that anyone who is suffering in any
way from stomach trouble, and who
does not give this Cooper medicine a
trial, is passing up a golden opportu
nity for restoration to good health.
"For three years I was troubled
with my stomach, and what little I
did eat gave me distress. Nothing
tasted right. I felt weak and bad near-
ly all the time. I was nervous and
allowed matters of small importance
to worry me. I treated with two differ-
ent physicians, but received no benefit.
I had about reached the conclusion
that medical science had not yet pro-
duced anything that would help me.
"However, a number of friends
urged me to try Cooper's New Dis-
covery, and they were so persistent
that I finally took new hope and got a
bottle of the Cooper medicine. After I
had begun to take it I wondered why I
had not taken it long ago. Its effect
was marvelous—brought me right
out. I regained my appetite, took on
new strength—in fact, began to feel
like a different man altogether. I
would not have believed there was a
medicine on earth that could do so
much in so short a time. I have good
reason to be grateful for what Coop-
er's New Discovery has done for me,
and cannot praise it too highly."
The statement of Mr. William Ken-
nedy, advertising manager of the Ben-
nett Company, at Sixteenth and
Harney streets, was as follows:
"Long and tedious hours of hard
work, and continuous confinement in
a stuffy office tended to put my stom-
ach in a condition that has for many
months made my life miserable. There
is no need of my going into detail, for
anyone who has ever had stomach
trouble knows the suffering to be en-
dured. I became weakened and run
down, and life began to be a drag.
"A personal friend persuaded me to
give the Cooper medicine a trial. I
procured a bottle of the New Discovery
preparation and began taking it. Re-
lief came quickly, and in a short time
I was feeling like a new man. I de-
veloped a splendid appetite, could eat
anything I wanted with no ill effects,
and it all tasted good My strength
returned and once more work became
a pleasure.
"I have taken four bottles, and
shall continue Its use until I am fully
recovered, which I am confident will
not take long. This is a remarkable
preparation for any one who is 'all
in' as a result of close confinement
and overwork. I earnestly recom-
mend it to anyone in this condition."
Other statements taken from those
who had previously used the medi-
cines seem to prove that Cooper's
success throughout the country is gen-
uine.
Consoled.
It was after the distribution of
prizes at a Sunday school.
"Well, did you get a prize?" asked
Johnny's mother.
"No," answered Johnny, "but I got
'horrible mention.' "
Let none of you treat his brother in
a way he himself would dislike to be
treated.—Mohammedan.

For
Sprains
Sloan's Liniment is the best
remedy for sprains and bruises.
It quiets the pain at once, and
can be applied to the tenderest
part without hurting because it
doesn't need to be rubbed —all
you have to do is to lay it on
lightly. It is a powerful prepa-
ration and penetrates instantly —
relieves any inflammation and con-
gestion, and reduces the swelling.
Here's the Proof.
Mr. l. Roland, Bishop of Scran-
ton, Pa. says:—"On the 7th of
this present month, as I was leaving
the building at noon for lunch, I
slipped and fell, spraining my wrist.
1 returned in the afternoon, and at
four o'clock I could not hold a pen-
cil in my hand. I returned homa
later and purchased a bottle of
Sloan's
Liniment
and used it five or six times before
I went to bed, and the next day I
was able to go to work and use my
band as usual."
Sloan's Liniment
is an excellent anti-
septic and germ
killer— heals cuts,
burns, wounds and
contusions, and will
draw the poison
from sting of poi-
sonous insects.
