RELIEF OF TAXES,

MOlRiyUAND IS SEATED.
Attempted Railroad Legislation to lie-
•luce Freight and Passenger Kate*
—TtaeNergeaut-at-Ariim Aftkt*d to
Talk as Expert on liatlroada.
The characteristic so far shown by the
house seems to be to pass bills on gen-
eral sentiment and opinion,and with-
out much argument. The members
being mostly of one school of thought,
seem to agree on general lines,
and that agreement has a tendency to
pass by the detail study of the meas-
ures proposed to be passed into law.
I'inned for a reason why a certain
measure should become a law they do
as Chief Justice Dale is said to have
done when he first became an associate
justice, and when the other two mem-
bers were still republicans. The three
judges were sitting as a supreme court.
They were writing opinions, In private
chambers, to become law. A very
weighty case was before them, and
Judge Dale differed with his asso-
ciates. They asked him to give logi-
cal reasons for his conclusions,
when he astonished them by saying
"Gentlemen, 1 feel it in my bones 1
am right, and when 1 fell th;it way 1
am never mistaken." This was a
corker. There was uo going beland
this. It was final. The limits of ar-
gument had been reached. '1 he judges
had been used to analyse and build up
proposition after proposition even the
question of human life, from proto-
plasm to a diety, but here was a man
who took a short cut on a law propo-
sition by consulting the thermometer
of his big toe and saved himself the
logic of a synthetical argument or a
syllogistical analysis. A n old rheumatic
woman had been known to prophesy
the approach of a storm by the aching
of her bones, but never a judge the
correct conclusions of a legal
proposition. The saying of Judge
Dale has become proverbial and now
at the social whist games, when a man
doesen t know what to lead instead of
following Pole's rule to lead trumps.

An attembt was made to force the
resolution to a vote without discussion.
Mr. Vickers asked that it be laid over
until tomorrow morning no that fur-
ther information could be gathered
regarding the statements contained,
to see if they were true. It wouldeu t
be very creditable, he argued, to the
present legislature to have such state-
ments go out if they were uot true in
detail. ,
Mr Shannon thought any man knew
these things, whereupon Mr. Vickers
asked him to make an argument in
support of his measure and give the
members that information they de-
sired. about the cost of building roads,
the rate of freight and passenger rate*,
and on how much less the railroads
could be successfully operated.
Mr. Shanuon said he could not
give the information then but it could
be furnished him. lie then asked the
consent of the house that Mr. .Jones
as an expert railroad builder, be
allowed to inform the house on
the history of railroad building.
Mr. Jones proved to be the sergeaut-
at-arms, Uutfalo Jones. He was about
ready to begin talking when Mr.

lution saying that it is well known
that the present railroads of the
United States could be buiit ^ for one

penalty on the non-payment of taxes
due last December until the second

be signed by the governor as soon as
possible.
Mr. Uiaves movedr a re-con-
sideration of the vote by

members saying they had voted

Hon*<! Yesterday Afternoon Semion,
The school district bill providing for
redistricting being disposed of with a
recommendation that it do pass.
I 11. 1!. No. 41 was taken up. It pro-
vides that the county treasurer shall
affix his signature to an abstract of
title of any property, showing all the
taxes unpaid and all the history of the
property. This virtually intends to
do away with an abstractor. It pro-
vides that he shall receive 25 cents for
such work. The act compels him
under a tine of ®r>0 to get out such an
abstract. The bill was introduced by
Mr. May. , .
11. H. No. 58 was next considered. il
amends the act providing that a man
to be eligible for probate judge must
be a lawyer and to have practiced law
at least three years preceding his
election. It intends to throw open
the office to anybody. The bill
was introduced by SpeakerTousley and
ib4 Mr. Vickers began his argument
for the side of Mr. Mouriquand, Attor-
ney Denton having already spoken in
the interest of Kulkerson la*t Satur-
day morning. He argued in that the
case of a certain number of ballots
being voted without the initiaJ* of tt e
clerks upon the corner, there was no
vital wrong done the voter. He claim-
ed that in the election board before it
counted the ballou the clerks placed
their initials on the corner. :uid so
realy when the ballots were countcd
the initials were there, lie read the
law to prove that where there was
neglect, error or even intentional
desire to do wrong on the part
of an election board should not
deprive the voters of their fran-
chise ora district be thrown out. In
this case uo wrong was intended and
no one was cheated. He thought the
position c f Attorney Denton that the
legislative body was in the nature of a
court was wrong
The house in tbisccntest was to judge
the rights of parties—it was by law
the final judge as to the qualification*
of its own members.
In this case the m_„
the investigation committee reported
in favor of Mouriquand while the mi-
nority report was for Kulkerson. 1 he
minority report showed that two other
irregularities were practiced, either

It would have been a great piece of
humor to the outside world had the
house allowed the sergeant-at-arms to
.stand upon the floor of the house as
requested by Mr. Shannon anil allowed
to give the members information, as
xpqrt upon railroad legislation.
'Xn<T- when it should go out
that the sergeant-at-arms Was
Buffalo Jones. The idea that the
house needed the assistance of its ser-
geant-at-arms—to pass inteligent laws
would have made the whole world
laugh.
The action of the house in rightfully
seating Mr. Mouriquand, is great credit
to the populist party. It shows that
while their party feeling is deep
seated it does not blind them
to the distance of doing an
injustice to a member of another pol-
itical faith. Mr. Vickers is to be given
great credit in this contest. He was
the attorneny for Mr. Mouriquand and
the success of the case was largely
due to the able, clear, straight forward
manner, that convinced everyone,
with which he presented Mr. Mouri-
quands claims and the law that ap-
plied to elections. He was right and
the house has lost nothing in the esti-
mation of the country in seating Mr.
Mouriquand.
Al rnlok Session.
Rev. Mewmaw prayed thisjjmorning
in the house.
The iirst matter considered was a
resolution memorializing congress to
u-ive free homes to the future state of
Indianola, which shall be made of the
five tribes, and it was passed.
House concurrent resolution No :i,
introduced by Mr. Shannon, sending
greetings [o the legislatures of Kan-
sas. Nebraska and Texas, ami asking
them to co-operate with the legisla-
ture of Oklahoma in the reduction of
freight and passenger rates. It states
that "It has been demonstrated be-
yond a doubt that the cost of railroads
through the middle, western and
southern states can be built at a cost
of less than one fifth of the average

such an imputation. Both he and Mr.

presented just as well. The bill was
recommended to pass.
House bill No. 73, by Mr*. Wilson
was taken up for consideration for a
time and laid over to a future time.
It provides that any man who draws
public salary and owes the county any
taxes, or there is a judgment against
him for any public money, one-half of
such salary or monies coming to such
a person shall be appropriated to the
payment of such taxes or judgments.
Bill No. 56, by Barnes, provides that
where roads are cut on the half sec-
tion lines, the petitioners shall have
right to make a road not more than
48 feet and less than 32. It was ar-
gued by Mr. Doyle that the maximum
for such roads should be 06 feet to con-
form to the section line roads, provided
for by the United States statutes. The
provision of not more than ♦ <> feet and
not less than 32 feet carried. The
passage of the bill was recommended.
C. B. No. 2r>, extendingthe payment
of taxes, was made a special order. It
postpones the payment of a penalty
until the second Monday in March for
taxes due last December. It is an
emergency measure passed by the
ouncil. The house referred the bill
to the committee of the whole.
HIIIh Adopted.
Bill No. r l was adopted as recom-
mended above by the committee of the
whole.
Also bill No. 40, providing that the
county treasurer shall be an abstrac-
tor.
Bill No. 58, relating tp probate
judges, was amended simply by strik-
ing out that portion demanding that
he shall have practiced low three
years next preceding, but must still be
a lawyer.
The amendment was lost and the
report of the committee of the whole
was adopted, and any one is eligible
to be a probate judge.
Bill No. *>() was reported to pass and
ordered engrossed. It relates to mak-
ing roads on half section liaes.
The house went into the committee
J of the whole on Council Bill No. 25,
nalty of non-pay;
ment of taxes « .a*t December until
the second Monday in March.
Mr. feliannon offered an amendment
to extend t< the second Monday in
May. Also that one per cent penalty
be charged instead of two.
Alourli|iiaud-lrulkerson Content.
The Mouriquand-Fulkerson election
contest being made special for the
evening, immediately on convening of
the house, the matter was taken up
Mr. Rose thought that he agreed
with the law read by Mr. Vickers. but
he thought that it was a poor policy
to consider that voters were too igno-
rant to know how to vote, and should
be held responsible.
Mr. Willis said that Mr. RosO §X-
prf&sed his opinion in the matter bet-
ter t«it'v he could do himself
Mr. Mouriquand thought it queer
that the stftlnte should be strictly con-
strued in tin* ?ase of the votes where
no initials were" written on the ballots
and not where Ihe ballot box was
taken home to dinfieT and where peo-
ple voted in the wrong district.
The vote on the minority report was
finally taken and the report was lost
by the following vote

but Mr. Woodmansee voted for the
majority report and Mr. Mouriquand
was declared entitled to his seat.
El Reno News: Agent Baldwin of
Anadarko has been asked to resign,
the cause evidently lies in his relation
with the cattlemen of the Indian
country. The climax was reached
when he recently endeavored to put
off the opening of the Wichita country.
His dismissal is rega rded as a favor-
able omen by those who are most in-
terested in the opening. Baldwin
recently leased the land down there
for a new term to the cattle men and
this was done absolutely with author-
ity, with the evident intent of
blufling the thing through and bring-
ing the government to endose his ac-
tion, but he ran airainst a stump this
time. Secretary Francis didn't bluff
and the cattle men would appear to be
in the soup as well as the agent.
Charles L. Brock way, of Adel, Io.,
nephew of Mrs. Frank Greer, arrived
on the noon train to make a visit with
his aunt of several weeks.

are inclined to give her tit for tat.

pleasing manners and of "ulture and
she does nothing rudely: btft with a
smile on her face, she says she thinks
she was elected to her position ami
does not think she can be set aside.
The house today placed itself on re-
cord in its attitude on railroads. Its
attitude stated in plain language is
that the railroads of the west are at-
tempting to pay interest on five times
the capital stock of the actual cost of
construction of the roads, in other
words that the roads can be built for
one-fifth per mile to that declared in
the capital stock of the roads. It puts
this statement in positive language
and asks the legislatures of Kansas,
Nebraska and Texas to join with it
and pa<-s legislation that will reduce
freight and passenger rates propor-
tionate to the actual cost of the roads
act! expense of running and not
"watered'' stock, as now. The mem-
bers were unanimous on the legisla-
tion desired but did not like to place
themselves on record as railroad e\-
the usual preliminaries. Thje tiirst bus-
iness done *as tc-oonfeidar the action
taken list week in. reconsidering the
note by which lflirs. Ui^abaihi Weeks
v\a.s made one of the c^rossiag
'clerks. By that vote Mrs- Wetijs vas
dismissed. The vote this morning ^t
her the place \>y 17 to 1, some members
being absent and some refusing to
vote. The cause given for her dismis-
sal is that she lives in Withita. and not
in this territory.
Mr. Shannon's resolution asking the
state legislatures of Kansas. Texas
and Nebraska, in deducing freight and
passenger rates of railroads by legis-
lative action was next considered. It
It claims that the roads attempt to
pay interest on watered stock and
that protit can be made for the roads
by one-half the rates now charged on
actual cost of construction of the
road. The resolution claims that the
stated costof railroads is five times the
actual cost.
Mr. Shannon made a lengthy talk
in favor of the resolution.
Mr Willis gave state statistics show
ing that the cost of all the roads in
the United States is $5,000.000,000 and
that at least $2,000,000 was watered
and should be taken off.
Mr. Vickers wanted the geutlemen
t«> show by actual figures that the act-
ual cost of building roads was ov,*-
fifth of their capitalization, lie show* ,
ed by statements made for taxation,'
and also by the assessment of vu&d-
thc different counties at •' ia
that the comparison « " c!'riito^
good. He did not - not hold
fore the peOK" -ant to go out be-
- e with a statement that
C°M be sustained.
1 .. Doyle said that the difference
was too great. If the resolutian had
said that it was one-half or some such
proportion, it would be nearer the
truth. He offered an amendment
stating the same thing in less positive
and specific language. lie claimed
the only purpose of the resolution
was to apprise the legislatures of Ne-
braska. Kansas and Texas, that we
think there is much needed railroad
legislation.
Mr. Rose offered a resolution read-
ing tha*. they could be built at a much
less cost than the capitol stock given.
His resolution as well as Mr. Doyle's
were defeated.
The original resolution was adopted
by a vote of 14 to 8.

One of ti^ most tieeply interested
and truly educative books ever written
is "The People's Common Seng«- Medi-
cal Adviser," by l)r. II. V. Pierce,
chief consulting physician of the In-
valids' hotel and Surgical Institute.
Buffalo. N. V. This splendid volume
of loos pages, includes ninety pages on
the subject of diseases peculiar to w •
men. with directions for hoine-treat-
| ment, rendering unnecessary the em-
barrassing ' examinations," and gen-
erally useless ' local treatment,'' so
dreaded by modest women. It also
treats exhaustively diseases of men
anil points out their remedies. This
book contains the most comprehensive
explanation of human physiology and
the rational principles of hygiene ever
published. Illustrated with over 300
engravings—a complete medical libra-
ry in one volume. No other medical
book in the English language ever
had such an enormous sale. i.xo,000
copies were sold at £1.50 each. Dr.
Pierce is now distributing a new free
dition of half a million copies. A
copy will be sent absolutely free to
i anyone who will send to the World's

members said that it was all a waste
of time in passing the resolution, as it
would only find a waste basket in
Kansas, Nebraska and Texas, and
might place Oklahoma in an attitude
of lighting the railroads, which was
not true. They thought Oklahoma
needed railroads perhaps more than
anything and should not intimidate
their building.
