The people of southern Oklahoma
are enthusiastic over the proposition
to build an iuterurban railroad from
I-aw ton to Ardmore, according to (
Judge James II. Wolvcrton of Lawton.
He says the peop.e of iatwion and all
along the proposed route are showing
an unusual interest and that the peo-
ple of Duncan have subscribed $.'>,000
••"d twenty two miles of right of way.
Oklahoma City.—Twenty-seven days
of tlio regular sixty-day session of the
Oklahoma legislature have gone by,
and though the legislature has prac-
tically determined some of the things
It will do, most of them remain yet to
be done in the thirty-nine days of the
regular session ahead.
Some emphasis is put on the regu-
lar session, for It now appears proba-
ble that a special session immediately
after March ) will be necessary to re-
district. the slate congresslonally.
So far 310 billB have been introduced
in the house nnd ISO in the senate,
(iovernor Cruce has signed the Colum-
bus Day hill; the legislative expense
bills, and one or two other minor
measures, but none of the big bills
have gone the gauntlet of both houses.
Prohibiten enforcement Is one of
the Important questions to be settled
by this legislature The house has
pnsRed a bill by Webb and Anthony
and Thompson (of the senate), but
limlnated therefrom tho most vital
section, giving the governor power to
suspend negligent county officers. The
senate has the bill now, and It. is 011
the calendar for consideration, with
the section so objectionable to the
house reinserted by senate committee.
Two radically different primary elec-
tion laws have been introduced, one
I11 the senate and one in the house.
The latter is the bill framed by Wil-
liam H. Murray, and associates. A
general election law, giving the views
of the present state election board has
been introduced in the houes. None of
these three bills have been acted on,
even by committee.
The house has passed a bill creating
the office of county assessor and the
measure is now in the senate. A bill
creating the office of ditsriet attorney
is on the house calendar ready for
passage or non-pa^yge, and will be
reached this week. Hills creating the
office of county coroner have been
killed.
The house and senate have both
passed a bill Increasing the emolu-
ments of sheriffs and their deputies,
and the same is back in the house
waiting action 011 the senate amend-
ments.
The Muskogee fair bill has lodged
apparently for good in the senate com-
mittee 011 agriculture nnd live stock in
dusiry, nnd the subject is 110 longer
heard discussed. It may be dead or
may be waiting only for the psycho-
logical moment.
The senate bar passed Senator Rod-
die's amendments to the bank guar-
anty law striking out the section al
leged to discriminate against national
banks as reserve agents, but not put-
ting bankers on the banking board.
The house has passed finally a bill
creating five supreme court commis-
sioners to work under the direction of
the supreme court and assist In clear-
ing the over-crowded supreme court
docket. Representative Marshall's
bill appropriating $45,000 for locating
artesian wells in the "Panhandle"
counties has also passed the house
The same good luck has happened to
Mr. Milburn'! proposed constitutional
utnendmcnt for a the months' school.
The senate has killed the bill to in-
crease the emoluments of county su-
perintendents: also a bill to raise the
salary of the state labor commissioner.
Appropriation bills galore have been
introduced, but none have run the
gauntlet of both houses, except the
legislative expense bills and one or
two reapproprlating old appropria-
tions. The two state prisons are ask
lug approximately 9750,000 for vari-
ous purposes; tho state university
wants $.">01,000 for maintenance, etc.
The other institutions are asking for
amounts smaller but in proportion to
their importance. A senate and a
house bill would appropriate approxi-
mately $S,000,000 for better schools.
I but neither have emerged yet from the
I obscurity of the respective appropria-
I tlou committees. Even the much ad-
! vocated 9If 0,000 appropriation for a
j law school building at the state unl-
j Ycrsity was recommitted by the senate
i Saturday after a tight. A bill reappro-
prlating approximately 93,275,000 of
Oklahoma City, Okla.—The probabll
ity of an extra session to con-
vene Bhortly after the regular session
ends on March 3, has about become a
certainly. No definite action can be
taken on that most Important matter,
congressional redistricting, until con-
gress shall have passed the C'rumpack-
er bill, or some other bill, fixing the
population basis on which the states
can work in redistricting the congress
ional districts.
The Impression ts general here, and
is fostered by the views of Oklahoma's
congressional delegation, that congress
will not pass the congressional appor
tionment bill until near or at the end
of the present session, or about March
3. United Slates Senator Owen says
this. In other words, the Oklahoma
legislature will not be able to begin
effective work until the end of the reg-
ular legislative session on a matter
that will take up a month at lpast.
This being true, when the .regular
legislative session ends March 3, ad
Journment sine die will take place,
with the distinct understanding that
(iovernor Cruce call the assembly to-
gether again as soon as President Taft
signs the apportionment bill. Okla-
homa politicians are a unit in declar
tng that the matter of redistricting the
state congressionally is important
enough not only to justify a special
session, but to demand such.
A few days ago, it is true, some of
the state senators, n minority num
ber, however, were inclined to urge
that there was no immediate necessity
for the state being redistricted con-
gressionally. If Oklahoma gets three
additional congressmen, as it will un-
der (he Orumpacker hill, they could be
elected at large in 1912; the regular
January 1913 session of the legislature
could attend to redistricting the state
and in 1914 would be held the first
elections in the new districts.
This idea met general opposition
from state democratic leaders. And
the reason is not far away. Fully one
out of every two state politicians on
tlie democratic side, who haven't some-
thing else in view, are intending to
seek one of the new congressional
places.
For two reasons they don't want the
new congressmen to be elected at
large. In the first place, the expense
of stumping the entire state in the
primaries would be so much greater
than stumping a district. In the sec-
ond place most of these would-be con-
gressmen intend to get the legislature
to so cut out the new districts that
each will be the only "logical" candi-
date therein nnd consequently can win
without working or fighting.
it is said that there are fifty candi-
dates for congress among the 109 rep-
resentatives and 44 state senators;
affd many of them came to the legisla-
ture largely to see that the congress-
ional redistricting was not adverse to
their own ambitions. A blind man can
see the fight that w ill ensue when the
redistricting bill appears. The one
matter could keep the legislature busy
for two months, with so many men
wanting a hand in the game.
SEYEN
YEARS OF
MISERY
All Relieved by Lydia E. Pink-
ham's Vegetable Compound.
Sikeston, Mo. — "For seven years I
Buffered everything. I was in bed
-— fur four or live days
at a time evert
month, and so weak
I could hardly walk.
I cramped and had
backache and head-
ache, and was so
nervous and weak
that I dreaded to
see anyone or have
anyone move in the
room. The doctors
gave me medicine to
lease me at those
rviinnu i*u niuou
times, and said that 1 ought to have an
operation. I would not listen to that.
nnd when a friend of my h band told
him about Lydia E. I'inklu. i's Vege-
table Compound and what it had done
for his wife, I was willing to take it.
Now I look the picturo of health and
feel like it, too. I can do my own house-
work, hoe mv garden, and milk a cow.
I can entertain company and enjoy
them. 1 can visit when I choose, and
walk as far as any ordinary woman,
any day in the month. I wish I could
talk toevery suffering woman and girl."

ROYALTY AS THE G0DFATHEF
Difficulty In Europe Successfully Over
come by the Exercise of Some
Diplomacy.
In the early days of the reign of the
/ate King Leopold of Belgium a sev
enth son was born to a Brussels worn
an. and when the king heard of it and
was told (hat the boy was the seventh
successive one, and that no girl had
como to the family, he asked to be the
baby's godfp.;iier. Ever since then
every seventh son born in Brussels
has had the same honor, and the moth
ers have received gifts in keeping
with their station in life. King Al
bert, in carrying out the old adage a
short time ago had some difficulty
because the seventh son was twins,"
according to the Frankfurter Zcitung.
He could not stand for both boys, be-
cause that would give the family two-
Alberts. The remedy was found by
Cjueen Elizabeth, who suggested that
her little son, the duke of Brabant,
be the godfather of the eighth boy,
who consequently received the name
■)f Leopold.
Bill Approved
The free school book hi! lha snot yet
passed the house, but will probably do
so this week.
Hills to sell all the state school lands
have been introduced and are being
pressed. Bills to legalize the school of
chiropractics are also pending.
Freak bills are present as usual, the
most important one being by Landrum
to prevent Hie exhibition of freaks or
monstrosities. An antl-"tip" bill was
killed in the house; also a bill to makr
it a misdemeanor to wear bird feathers
on hats. This list also includes a bill
prohibiting marriage unless both par
ties to the contract present certificates
of good health. A hill prohibiting rop
lng contests is pending final passage
in the house.

"But why is it that you always serve
toast with each slice stood up on

"Oh, I just got into the habit; you
knew we lived in a flat when we were
first married."

defiling your heart.
Hackett Takes Shot at Schools
Oklahoma City.—That the system of
state control of higher institutions of
learning was now on trial and that
titne would show that state universi-
ties are a failure, was the declaration
made by Senator Jesse M. Hnckett of
Durant in tho debate in the senate
over the appropriation of 9150,000 for
a new building for the law school of
the state university at Norman.
By reason of that belief Hackett was
opposing the appropriation.

EASY CHANGE
When Coffee Is Doing Harm.
A lady writes from the land of cot-
ton of the results of a four years' use
of the food beverage—hot Postum.
"Ever since I can remember we had
used coffee three times a day. It had
a more or less Injurious effect upon
us all, and I myself suffered almost
death from Indigestion and nervous-
ness caused by It.
1 know It was that, because when
I would leave it off for a few days I
would feel better. But it was hard to
give it up, even though 1 realized how
harmful it was to me.
At last I found a perfectly easy
way to make the change. Four years
ago I abandoned the coffee habit and
began to drink Postum, and I also in-
fluenced the rest of the family to do
tne same. Even the children are al-
lowed to drink it freely as they do
r"T.er. And it has done us all great
good.
' I no longer suffer from Indigestion,
nnd my nerves are in admirable tone
since i began to use Postum. We
never use the old coffee any more
0 aPPreclatae Postum as a de-
fi'' tul and healthful beverage, which
