lor an the date for llnal hearing And

Is received for them the stnte treas-
urer will Isrue a general call for all

warrants nnd will pay them off us
fast as they aro presented.
Original Date Changed
January 15 was the dato originally
deeded upon for tho tlnal hearing
and salo of the bonds but delay was
caused by two different matters one
to allow time for tho Western Hank
Note nnd lCngrnvhig company of Chi-
cago to print nnd engrave tho bonds;
the other becnuso of the necessity of
weeding out of tho warrants to bo re-
funded between $7G000 nnd $S0000 of
warrants held -to havo been Illegally
Issued and consequently not entitled
to tho refund.
Tho law requires that ten dnys' no-
tice of tho final hearing be advertised
beforehand nnd these liio attorney
general will publish not later than
Jnnuary 15.
State Treasurer Dunlop does not an-
ticipate any difficulty In selling the
bonds. Tho first slate bond Issue of
$1460000 brought a substantial pre-
mium. The refunding bo 's will bo
Issued In teji series of $:t00000 each
tho first to fall due In' 10" 5 the others
one each year until 1913. Thoy will
bear 4 per cent Interest payable semi-
annually the Interest dntes being Feb-
ruary 1 ami August 1.
Interest Accrues On All
Tho exact nmount of warrants with
Interest to be refunded cannot be
calculated as the interest accrues un-
til thirty days after the treasurer shall
Issue his call. The approximate
amount will bo $3000400 or equlva
lent to the amount of the bond is-
sue. The registration numbers of the
wnrants to bo refunded as taken from

Special Train on Secret Schedule.
Sometime before January ir a ms-
terlous trnln trnellng on secret
Rchedule will transport 300 Insane
patients from the Normal asylum for
Insnno to the new building at Vlnltn.
Tho routo of the trnln will bo kept
secret to prevent any congregations
of sight soets enroute nnd for other
rensons of public policy.
A similar train carried about the
snme number of Insane patients from
Noruinn to Fort Supply four years
ago and mado the trip without any
exceptional events. The violent
maniacs wore transported in especial-
ly prepared nnd guard-il coaches.
Tho Vlnltn nnd Fort Supply asylums

The Norman asylum Is managed by
the receiver of the defunct Caplaol

Health Document Before Marriage.
That a determined effort will be
made at tho forthcoming seslon of the
legislature to cnacta law requiring
the presentation of 11 health certificate
by both parties coutemplnliig mar-
rlago before tho Issuance of the regu-
lation mnrrlngo license Is forecasted
by the activities at the state federa-
tion of women's clubs nnd other organ-
zatlons including many of tho medi-
cal societies of Oklahoma.
In the biennial report of the state
health department Stato Commission-
re of Health Mnhr gives some Interest-
ing Information on this subject. He
declares that the records of inspection
recently made by tho department of
nil state Institutions will show that
had medical certificates been requir-
ed of the contracting pnrties fifty
years ago many of the Inlmntes of the
penitentiaries reformatories asy-
lums nnd poor farms would not now
be charges of the state and a source
of expense to tho public.
Commissioner Mahr says In par'
"Society recognizes only such
unions as aro legalized by a llconso
nnd a regularly porfoi med ceremony.
Vet under this cloak there are dally
performed crimes every bit as heinous
and for more blighting than that for
which Oklahoma mnn recently arose
In his might as n father and took tho
life of his daughter's seducer.
"Statistics throughout tho United
States show- that from 60 to SO per
cent of nil abdominal operations per-
formed for tho purpose of relieving

the result of a contnglous disease
from which tho husband was suffer-
ing nt the time of mnrlage. Statistics
from our state home for feeble mnld-
ed located at Enid show that 75 per
cent of the Inlmates of this Institu-
tion are part of the crop of 'wild
oats' sown by their fnthers when sin-
gle men. Forty per cent of the child-
ren In the stnte school for the blind
nre denied the right to seo tho beau-

sowed 'wild oats' They must suffer
and pay tho penalty for their fathers'

For a great

hnvo been gnth-

of l'oruna when
taken for ca-
tarrhal do-
rnngonients. I
hnvo on hand
thousands of

who claim that
a f t o r mnny

have found completo relief by tho
use of Peruna. Theso testimonials

ply been gleaned from my prlvnto cor-
respondence with patients that havo
been more or less under my treatment
or taking inv remedies.
No remedy ofllclnl or unofficial hns
n greater accredited basis for tho
claims we make for It than Peruna as
a remed for cntarrh.
1 have in rr been opposed nt nny
tlmo to the regulations offered by tho
Pure Food nnd Drugs Act. I nm not
now opposed to Its provisions but I
nm opposed to tho proposed amend-
ments to pin' to n partisan hoard of
physicians the unqualified authority to
decldo ns to all therapeutic claims
which may be made for a proprietary
medicine. It is manifestly unjust to

worthlessnesB or proprietary medi-
cines. To glvo such a body of men
tho unlimited authority to decldo
whether our claims for Peruna aro
valid or not Is n manifest violation of
my constitutional rights.
My clalniB are based both on cred-
itable theoretical grounds and upon
Irrefutable BtatlBtlcs. Hut I am qulto
