Haa Given 1,188 Opinions.—Attor-
ney General Charles J. West ba i sub-
mitted his report to Governor Hus
kell, showing that his office during
the eight months since statehood hu»
rendered 1.188 legal opinions, as com-
pare w,th I8‘I opinions rendered by
the attorney general of Pennsylvania
in two years. The great volume ol
opinions was r.iad« net ,.«*ary by th**
demands upon the office, owing to the
transition of two territories lo a
state form ol government and the
maty perplexing problems arising
therefrom. The report states that
tho corporation commission, through
Jhe assistance of the attorney genet
al's department, since statehood, has
secured reductions of freight rules,
saving the people a total of $;J,020,0(X'
a year. It also states that the cor-
porations, commissions and attorneys

of conferences at Oklahoma City and
Austin. Texas.
Stolidly Accepts Freedom. — With
the same stolid countenance with
which she sat day by day for fite
weeks, listening lo evidence in which
it was sought to convict her in con-
nection with the murder of her hus-
band. Mrs. Lila Meadows received her
liberty at the hands of the Jury at
Oklahoma City, after it hail been bal-
loting on the case for over 24 hours.
Twenty ballots were necessary before
the Jury reached a verdict. Eight of
the jury were at. no time of the opin-
ion that site was guilty. Rudolph
'Tegeler is now serving a life sentence
in the penitentiary for the murder
•of James Meadows. The crime oc-
curred on tho night of June 4. 1907.
It was one of the most noted crim-
inal cases in the hitsory of the city.
The trial of Tegeler lasted over five
weeks. He was convicted on cir-
cumstantial evidence. The same evi-
dence used in the Tegeler trial was
introduced against Mrs. Meadows, bu;
was insufficient to show any direct
’connection concerning her and the
killing.
Oklahoma Coal Output.—Oklahoma’s
total production of coal for 1907. ac-
cording to the annual report of tiie

Flush Sewer With "Boo/e.”—Se«
oral thousand gallons of Intoxicants
were dumped into the sewer opposite
tho state dispensary In Guthrie by
State Dispensary Agent R. K Lozier
A large crowd gathered to *<*♦? the
sight, hut none of the thirsty had a
chance to get hold of any of the
waste liquor, as It was all dumped In-
to a huge funnel which was placed in
the mouth of the sewer. At one time
several barrels and casks of beer,
whiskey and “tin-top" cider were
opened and their contents were all
running in one stream toward Cot-
tonwood river through the sewer. The
liquor spilled was all contraband
goods^ of an inferior quality.
Must Stop Seizing Liquor.—A de-
cision which constitutes a knockout
blow to slate prohibition enforcemen
officers who have been making pro-
miscuous confiscations of liquors in
various towns of the stale was ren-
dered by United States Judge Cotteral
in the federal court al Enid. He
giants a temporary injunction asked
for by a distilling company of Kan-
sas City to restrain Robert Lozier,
state dispensary agent, and certain
officers of Logan, Custer and Okla
honta counties from seizing interstate
shipments of liquor which have been
consigned lo Oklahoma customers by
“shipers’ orders” or from otherwise
interfering with the interstate busi-
ness of that company, even 1 hough
goods are branded only with !e in-
itials of purchaser. Attorney General
West was also made a party In the
case, hut the court decided that the
injunction will not lie against him,
as there is no evidence that he has
taken a hand in the seizures. State
Dispensary Agent Lozier is enjoined
from further receiving such liquors
and from preventing inspection of
such shipments by owners ’ for the
purpose of identification and from in-
terfering with recovery of such goods
in his possession.
Chid Killed Under Wagon Wheels.
—Flora Bohon, ihc 5-year-old daugh-
ter of F. A. Bohon, proprietor of a
coal yard at Chatanooga. was killed
by falling beneath tho wheels of a
loaded wagon. Her sisters were driv-
ing the vehicle and did not notice
that tho little one had followed. The
body was later found badly mangled
by the wheels.
Guthrie Gives Him a Start.—With-
in a few hours after Governor C. N.
Haskell was notified of his appoint-
ment as treasurer of tho Democratic
national committee, citizens of Guth-
rie raised by voluntary subscription
from sixty-two people. $2,789. Gov-
low plHces with sand and gravel, mak-
ing th«*m unproductive, besides cut- i
ting th<* fields Into Irregular shapes,
making them hard to work. I have
tried many ways of stopping a wash,
sometimes with success, sometimes
with failure.
If the wash is a small one two or
three feet deep. It can be filled partly
fall of brush, then straw on top. then
by plowing, throwing the dirt on the
atraw, then sowing rye and June grass
seed, and if the rye gets a good start
before another heavy rain it usually
bolds.
If the wash is a large one and grad-
ually breaking off at the upper end.
It is harder to handle. We have tried
filling those with brush and atraw,
but with little auccess; they keep
working back, breaking off as the
water works under the sod.
Now we build a dam with plow and
shovel across the ravine eight or ten
feet above the end of the ditch, leav-
ing a space in the middle for a flume
made of lumber so tight that there
will bo no leakage, cementing it at the
end so that no water works its way
outside, and long enough to extend six
or eight feet over the ditch, first set-
ting a long post in the ditch for the
end of the flume to rest on, then fill
in with brush for the water to dis-
charge upon.
Another way we have tried with sue.
cess is to thrash a straw pile into tke
head of the ditch, then make a dam
around the head and down both sides,
seeding with rye and blue grass, in
this way dividing water and carrying
It down on a well sodded run-way,
and by sowing rye and grass seed on
the slope of the ditch It may be held
from getting any worse.
We have tried growing willows on
the bottom and sides of these washes
•with but little success.
The farmer with hilly land liable to
wash should plow and cultivate as
little as possible, keeping tbe land
in hay and permanent pasture, and
keeping more cows and more sheep
will keep tne land from washing and
the farmer from bankruptcy.— (W. C.
Bradley before Wisconsin Institute.)

0ECI0E TO PUSH Oil CASES
A BOV INCINOIARV.
Th* Cotton Boll Weevil.
Encouraging results are announced
by the Bureau of Entomology from its
recent careful examination to deter-
mine the present status of the boll
weevil. The bureau examined some
40 localities In the states of Texas
I-ouisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas and
Oklahoma, all infected by tbe cotton
boll weevil. In each locality from
two to five representative fields were
selected, and in each one of these
fields groups of plants were examined
Estimating the number of plants to
the acre. It was easy then to compute
the number of weevils to the acre.
This plan has been followed for sev-
eral years, so that the comparisons
can now be made with conditions ex-
isting in previous years. The number
of weevils is shown to be much small-
er at this time throughout the infected
area than it was at this time last year,
due primarily to the unfavorable
weather last fall, especially the very
early first killing frost. In Eastern
Texas no weevils were found, whereas
last year there were 226 per acre. In
southern Texas the weevils stand 256
now, as against 308 last year; in west-
ern Texas, 11 against 101. In Louis-
iana 174 of the insects were found as
against against 485 last lear. In Ok-
lahoma no weevils were found. The
figures are for comparison only and
will not, of course, stand for the en-
tire season, as the insects may not
have emerged from hibernation in
such numbers as to have been detect-
ed.
GOVERNMENT PROSECUTING OF-
FICERS CONFiR.
To Make Every Effort t > Secure Re-
vi*ion of the Rece it Chi-
cago Decitio*.
Lenox.—After an all day conference
«f tho leading government prosecut-
ing officers and Frank I. Kellogg of
Minnesota, one of the sp'cial counsel
for the government in certain civil
tuits, it was announced by Attorney
General Bonaparte that every effort
*ould bo made to secure a revision of
the recent decision and opinion of tbe
L’nited States circuit court of appeals
-n the case of the Standard Oil com-
pany of Indiana and that an applica-
tion for a reargument of the case and
a motion for a modification of the
opinion would be submitted to that
court. Although no time is fixed, this
action by the government will be
taken at the earliest possible moment,
while the pending prosecution against
the Standard Oil company and all oth-
er prosecutions In which the giving
or receiving of rebates is charged,
will be pressed to trial. The decision
to take this action was unanimous on
tke part of the five men who parti-
cipated in the conference.
Attorney General Bonaparte called
to the conference solicitor, Gen. H.
M. Hoyt of Washington; Edwin M.
Sims of Chicago, United States dis-
tinct attorney for the northern dis-
trict of Illinois; James II. Wilkerson
of Chicago, Mr. Sims’ first assistant,
and E'rank B. Kellogg of Minnesota.
Mr. Hoyt, Mr. Sims and Mr. Wilker-
son arrived here Tuesday and held a
oonference in the afternc-on with the
attorney general. Mr. Kellogg ar-
rived Wednesday morning and parti-
:ipated in the two confeiences which
were held Wednesday.

Product of Six Ewes.
An Iowa sheep grower says:
“One lamb to the ewe, and that Is
certainly a low estimate, would mean
six lambs at $3 per head, or $18 for
the lamb crop. One dollar and fifty j
cents per head is certainly not too 1
high for an estimate on w-k>1. which
would amount to $9 for six ewes. Add-
ing this to the $18 for lambs gives a
total of $27. and as proof that 1 have
given the sheep the worst of the es-
timate. I could cite you many flocks
that have given double these returns
from a merely market standpoint. I
will venture the statement that not
a flockmaster will agree to contract

The Hog That Is Always Staple.
All admire a good-looking hog, and
there is no reason why good looks
should not go with the highest useful-
ness, but neither good looks nor fancy
breeding should stand for a moment
in tbe way of the hog that combines
vigor of constitution, growthiness, and
reasonably early maturity with a form
pleasing to the eye. When we come
io the final test of beauty, “pretty is
as pretty does.” The prettiest hog,
after all. is the one that is most profit-
able; the one that makes the most
and best pounds of gain from a him
dred pounds of the most inexpensive
dry matter; the one that makes the
largest contribution toward providing
for the family necessities; toward
meeting the interest on the mortgage,
and to paying the mortgage itself; for
the addition to the house, the new
carpet, the piano or organ, the new
dresses for the girls, or their educa-
tion at school.
If the breeder* of any breed depart
from the practical hog they make a
mistake, for sooner or later the com-
mon-sense farmer will demand the
common-sense hog. and will waive any
preference he may have for particu-
Kansan Attacked by Burglar.
Salina, Kan.—Earl Miller, the 20-
fear-old son of D. D. Miller, a farmer
living at Salemsburg. had a desperate
fight with a burglar Wednesday night.
While he was retiring for the night,
the burglar, who was hidden in an ad-
joining room, attacked him, and, in
:he fight that followed. Miller was
■hoked until he could not speak for
two hours. The elder Miller heard
his son’s cries for help, but could npt
assist him until he screwed on his
wooden, leg, which he hail previously
removed. The young man’s assailant
was finally beaten off. but he escaped.

ter trying to Ignite tbe clothing of
Mr*. William Stum. Elza Stringer, 15
year* old, was arrested Thursday af-
ternoon.

fires had broken out and always Just
ufier the Stringer boy had been In tba
building*. About one o’clock in tbe
afternoon ho left tho Moore livery^
barn and in a few minutes it was'
burning fiercely. Ho then tried to
drop a lighted match in a pile of hay
in the Clayton livery barn. Coming
out of this barn, ho dropped a match
on the sunbonnet worn by Mrs. Sims,
and while screaming for help she
fought with him. Men ran to fcer aid
and the boy was arrested. The boy
had served a term in the Missouri
reformatory and is now out on parole.
He is considered to be irresponsible
for bis actions.
Late at night he made a full confee
sion. He told of an uncontrollable de-
sire to see big conflagrations and ad-
mitted having set eight fires in Webb
City and Carterville in the last four
days. The confession clears the mys-
tery which has surrounded the burn-
ing of several cars of hay In the Webb
City railroad yards which were de-
stroyed Monday and Tuesday.
After being arrested the boy started
a fire in his cell in the Jail. When
the police reached the scene It was
burning fiercely.
