of Black work, there are now more
men employed in the Shawnee
shops of the Rock Island than at
any previous time sines the shops
were located there.
Governor Haskell has commuted the
sentence of P. L. Saunders, of Kiowa
county convicted of conveying liquor
within the state and sentenced to
thirty days' imprisonment and $50
fine. The Jail sentence Is cut off.
It is stated that Governor C. N.
Haskell, of Oklahoma, has been ten-
dered the treasurership of the demo-
cratic national committee. Formal an-
nouncement, carrying his acceptance,
it is said, will be made when the
committee meets for organization in
Chicago.
A petition has been filed with the
corporation commission by County At-
torney Hepburn of Logan county, for
injunction restraining the Pioneer
Telephone company from putting into
effect a 20 per cent advance in rates
of which it has notified its patrons
Three state banks were chartered
in Oklahoma last week: The Okla-
homa City State Hank, with a capital
stock of $25,000, the (Farmers and
Merchants Bank of Shattuck, witU a
$10,000 capital stock, and the First
State Bank of Idabel, with $10,000 cap-

In an opinion rendered at the re-
quest or an Oklahoma druggist, Attor-
ney General Charles J. West holds
that under the provisions of the Bil-
lups law it would not be legal for a
druggist to till a prescription for pure
alcohol, and that such a prescription
would have to be filled at the dispen-
sary.
The session laws of the last legisla-
ture probably will be ready for distri-
bution in about two weeks. The codi-
fying committee has now completed
Its work and is reading proof on the
copy. The plan is to print 10,000 vol-
umes, which will sell for 50 cent3 in
paper binding, and $1 in sheep.
While the regents of the state
school for the deaf have created the
position of bookkeeper and steward, at
a salary of $1,200 per year, they have
decided not to fill it for the coming
year, but will require the superinten-
dent also to perform the duties of
bookkeeper and steward, thus saving
the $1,200.

AIMS AT KANSAS COMPANY
COUNTY SEAT CONTESTS
West Says It Must Quit or
Down Oklahoma Law
GUTHRIE: That Attorney General
Charles J. West's tight 011 the Prairie
Oil and Gas company is also inciden-
tally directed against the Kaunas Nat-
ural Gas company, which supplies
Kansas City and Joplin, Mo., and most
jf the larger towns of Kansas with
gas, is made evident by a letter writ-
ten by him to J. C. Stearr, of Vinita,
and made public.
Mr. West claims to have positive 1
information thai the Kansas Natural
Gas company is practically out of gas.
H;> asserts that if the company can-
not b. eak down the Oklahoma law and |
get Oklahoma gas, or develop some
new gas territory within the next two j
years, it will have to go out of busi- j
ness. He intimates that the Kansas
Natural Gas company is therefore j
really a party to the oil pipe line j °
fight.
Another piece of information made
public by the attorney general's let-
ter is the positive statement that the
Texas company will within the next
two or three days organize an Okla
homa corporation for building pipe
lines in the state.
Break Twenty-Six Elections on Permanent
Locations Already Called
GUTHRIE: A statistical table com-
piled by Assistant Secretary of State
Leo Meyer in regard to the county
seat elections so far he'd and to be
held, shows that 2t> elections of that
sort have so far been called by the
governor, on presentation of the peti-
tions required by the law passed bv
the last legislature vitalizing the con-
stitutional provisions. The results of
15 of them have been officially declar-
ed by the governor, four more have
been held but no official proclamation
yet made as to the result, and seven
are yet to be held. Six cases were ap-
pealed to the supreme court. Two of
them, involving Grant and Coal coun-
ties, have been decided in favor of
the winners at the polls, and the other
four, from McIntosh, Wagoner, Adair
and Beckham counties, are still pend-
ing.

SAVAGE FLING AT AUDIENCE.
k—
Inebriated Orator Resented Disapprov<
al of His Condition.
"Like many a statesman of the
; past," said Senator Beveridge, "he
i drank too much. And one Fourth of
i July morning, on a platform hung
j with flags and flowers before the
J courthouse of a country town, facing
an audience of farmers and their fam-
I ilies that had come from miles around,
the statesman arose to deliver the In-
j dependence day oration in a slightly
intoxicated state.
"He was not Incapable of an ora-
j tion, but his unsteady gait, his Hushed
fate and disordered attire spoke ill
I of him, and the audience hissed.
"He held up his hand. They were
: silent. Then he laughed scornfully
I and said:
" 'Ladies and gentlemen, when a
statesman of my prominence consents
to appear In such a little, one-horse
town as this, he must be either drunk
or crazy. 1 prefer to be considered an
lnebiiate.' "—Washington Star.
Real Philosopher.
Philosophy, says Jerome K. Jerome,
Is the art of bearing other people's
troubles. The truest philosopher ha
»ver heard of was a woman. She was
brought into the London hospital suf-
'ering from a poisoned leg. The house
surgeon made a hurried examination.
He was a man of blunt speech. "It
will have to come off," he told her.
'What, not all of it?" "The whole of
it, I'm sorry to say," growled the
bouse surgeon. "Nothing else for it?"
j "No ether chance for you whatever,"
explained the house surgeon. "Ah,
well, thank Gawd it's not my 'ead."
There is at least one woman in the
world for every man in the world to
think the world of.

is shown to have been a heavy one
when it is considered that in the last
general electiou only 3,070 votes were
cast.
A. Kirkwood, the governor's special
agent, that the oil producers would
be ruined if Mr. West continued the
course he had taken, "but nevertheless
if there is a thief running down the
street, it is the duty of every good
citizen to try to help catch him.
"There is no question that there is
a great loss every day in the oil field,"
continued the attorney general. "If 1
had been let alone I believe that 1
could have stopped it before now, but
I wasn't let alone."
