state CAPITOL ELECTION VOID.
Oklahoma Supreme Court Rulea Elec-
tion of June tlth Illegal
Guthrie, Okla.—Guthrie wins the
state capital back, by the decision of
the Oklahoma supreme court handed
down at 10: SO o'clock Tuesday
Oklahoma City was sustained, how-
ever, in her contention that the en-
abling act fixing the Capitol at Guthrie
until 1913 was not binding. The court
knocked out the election, which was
held on June 11, on the grounds of
unconstitutionality of the ballot used
under the initiated bill. The exact
ground was that the title did not con-
form to the law.
Associate Justice John Turner hand-
ed down the chief opinion and the
three conclusions he reached were
that the constitutional ordinance ac-
cepting the requirement that the cap-
Itol remain at Guthrie until 1913 was
a law until repealed; that the enabling
act in iixing the capitol at Guthrie
was not binding and that the capitol
location bill was improperly submit-
ted June 11, and hence void.
Associate Justice Kane concurred in
the general conclusion, that the June
11 election was void, but held the
constitutional ordinance accepting the
terms of the enabling act Iixing the
crpftol at Gntlirie until 1913 to be a
compact between Oklahoma and the
United States, which could not bo re-
scinded except both parties thereto
agree and says:
“That, this compact should be pro-
tected by moral sacred faith, which is
cherished ullke by individuals and or-
ganized couSkunities.”
Another concurring opinion by As-
sistant Justice Hayes and concurred in
by Chief Justice Dunn and Assistant
Justice Williams, go^s still further
than Justice Turner’s first two conclu-
sions, as follows:
“We concur that those provisions of
enabling act fixing the capitol at Guth-
rie until 1913 and constitutional ordi-
nance accepting the same are both
void for the reason that it was not
within the power of congress to im-
pose such condition upon the state not)
within the power of the state to con-
sent thereto."
This conclusion by a majority of the
courts meanB that there Is nothing in
the constitution or laws of Oklahoma,
fixing the capitol at Guthrie and that
to change the same only a single act
of the legislature is necessary, and
thus sustains Governor Has'- i v
leged intention to call a special legis-
lative session Dec. 1, to move the cap-
itol down to Oklahoma City.

Backache is usually kidneyache.
There is only one way to remove the

The kidney secretions were suppressed

Fifteen physicians treated me with-

Dealers Declare Railroads Are Over-
charging
Guthrie, Okla.—Oil producers and
railroad traffic and legal officials were
here Friday for hearing before the
state corporation commission of the
complaints of producers that freight
rates on oil shipments in Oklahoma
are excessive. C. A. Stannard, a fuel
oil dealer of Emporia, Kans., was the
principal witness at the morning ses-
sion and for the commissioner's edi-
ncation gave carefully tabulated fig-
ures on oil rates compared with rates
on coal. Stannard stated that between Note From the Basswood Bugle.
November, 1908, and 1910, he had paid 1 Somebody took the rope off the bell
as freight on Oklahoma business $86,- I ,n the fire engine house to U8e f°r a
857.28, and that the loss of oil in ship-
ment during that time had been $112.
This is the face of the railroad's con-
tention that the rate on oil Bhould be
high because of the great risk of loss
by fire, wreckage and other causes.
Stannard said that in ten years’ ex-
perience he had never had a car of oil
burned. Another contention of the
railroads has been that empty oil cars
can not be used for any other pur-
pose, while coal cars may be returned
loaded with other commodities. To
refute this, Stannard quoted the tes-
timony of General Freight Agent
Koontz, of the Santa Fe railroad, be-
fore the interstate commerce commis-
sion at Kansas City that less than two
per cent of coal cars are returned
loaded.

mer the other day and, when Hank
Purdy's corncrib ketched fire, the con-
stable had to hurry down to Hilllker's
store for to borry a hammer. Hllliker
had lent his hammer to Deacon Ren-
frew, who lives four miles out in the
country, and by the time the constable
had got there and hunted around in
the barn for the hammer and got back
to the engine house, the angry ele-
ments had done their worst and

Answer No Doubt Truthful, But by No
Means What the Orator
Desired.
Booker T. Washington, congratulat-
ed by a New York reporter on the
success he has made of his life, said
with a smile:
"1 suppose I must be modest and
declare that luck has had much to do
with my progress, or otherwise I'll be
in Senator Dash's shoes.
Senator Dash of Talapoosa prided
himself on his rise from the bottom,
for Senator Dash in his youth had
worked with the colored men in the
cotton fields.
"Boasting at a political meeting
about his rise, the senator singled
out Uncle Calhoun Webster among his
audience and said;
“ ‘I see before me old Calhoun Web-
ster, beside whom, in the broiling
southern sun, I toiled day after day.
Now, ladies and gentlemen, I appeal
to Uncle Calhoun. Tell us all, uncle,
was 1, or was I not, a good man in
the cotton field?”
" ‘Yo’ wuz a good man, senatah,'
the aged negro replied; 'yo' wuz a
good man, fo' a fack; but yo' sut’ny
didn't work much.'"
hea-tng, objected to much of Stan
nara’s testimony, but he was consist-
ently overruled by Commissioner A. P.
Watson, who is conducting the hear-
ing. Stannard declared that the oil
people would be willing to accept a
rate 10 per cent higher than the rate
on coal. He cited instances from
present rates that seemed excessive.
In one instance the freight on a $90
shipment of oil from Keifer in the oil
country to Cherokee, Alfalfa county,
was $222.
George Henshaw, probably elected
corporation commissioner Tuesday,
appears as attorney for the commis-
sion in the oil hearing.
ANOTHER BUMP FOR GENIUS.
To Call in Warrants
Guthrie, Okla.—The state treasurer
will issue a call on Nov. 25 calling in
more state warrants. How much the
total will be is not known yet, but
it is certain the amount will not fall
under $150,000. During the month of
end to a hard fight between the two May $760,597 in warrants was called
cities, which has lasted for nearly a
year and a half and at the same time
relieves the state of Oklahoma of the
puzzling case of a double state capi-
tol, or as Attorney General West calls
It "walking about capitol” to Guthrie
and Oklahoma City.
To Sell Timber Lands
Muskogee, Okla.—W. T. O’Neill, the
head Of the government forestry ser-
vice In Minnesota, and H. G. Gaynor, a
government timber expert, arrived
here Saturday and after a conference
with J. George Wright, commissioner
to the Five Civilized Tribes, left for
the timber reserve of the Choctaw na-
tion to lay plans for the immediate
re-appraisement and sale of the one
and a half million acres of timber land
there.

more has been paid out by the treas-

$1,500,000 redeemed in the past six
months.

Kidding Worse Than Cutting.
Tal kabout making good with your
friends, a New Orleans man told
everybody he knew that ho was going
to Philadelphia for the dual purpose
of seeing the world's baseball series
and having a slight surgical operation
performed. Reaching this city, he
consulted a specialist, and was told
that an operation was not necessary.
"But, doctor,” the New Orleans
party urgently Interposed, "it must be
done."
"Why must it?" wonderingly quer-
ied the surgeon.
"Because,” was the startling re-
joinder of the Southern man, "I told
all the boys at home that I was going
to have an operation performed, and
if I don't make good they will kid the
life out of me.”—Philadelphia Tele-
graph.

Mexicans Warned to Leave
Lawton, Okla.—Orders have been
given the large number of Mexicans
who have come upon the Fort Sill
military reservation to visit with the
Apache Indians, to move on. This
edict of the war officials at Fort Sill,
was made to prevent any trouble with
Mexicans. It was feared they might
bring to the Apaches intoxicating
drinks and cause e. general uprising.
Should the proposition carry, over
900,009 acres will be thrown open
to the oil men of the state, it is said,
