HUMOR IN THESE VERDICTS
Quaint Ideas and Expressions Re-
corded at Having Been Rendered
by Coroner’s Juries.
Referring to a verdict recently
given by a coroner’s Jury that death
was "caused by the medical evidence,"
the Orltlsh Mqdlcal Journal says:
"Thle verdict may be added to those
cited •• the report of the select com-
mittee on death certification, where
Doctor Ogle te quoted as saying, ‘One
verdict came before me a little tlmo
ago which was this: ‘‘A man died
from stone In the kidney, which stone
be swallowed when lying on a gravel
path In a state of drunkenness.” That
was given us a verdict. I thought
some Joke had been played, and I
wrote down about It, and found It was

Reason for Strange Names.
A Httlo colored girl appeared on
one of tho city playgrounds tho other
day, accompanied by two pickanin-
nies. who. she explained, wero cousins
of hors, visitors In Newark. "What
are their names,'' asked tho young
woman lu charge of the playground.
"Alda Overture Johnson and Lucia

HEALTH AND INCOME
Both Kept Up on Scientific Food.
Guthrie, Okla.—Oklahoma celebrat
ed tho third anniversary of her birth
Into the Union of states the other day.
The progress of the young state dur-
ing these three years has been re-
markable when guaged by the mile,
atones of her commercial and political
progress. •
' A quarter of a million people have
been added to the population of the
state since President Roosevelt signed
the statehood proclamation, while two
of the lending cities of the state have
doubled their population within this
period. Agricultural resources have
been developed to a remarkable ex-
tent and the oil and gas Industry has
grown from an Infant Industry to
mammoth proportions.
Probably the most rapid progress
has been made in tho establishment,
of educational, penal and eleemosy-
nary Institutions. Taking the excel-
lent public school system of Oklahoma
territory as a foundation, tho new
state has built three state normal
schools, six secondary schools of ag-
riculture, a university preparatory
school, schools for blind, incorrigible,
deaf and orphan children and homes
for tho feeble-minded and ex-Confeder-
ate soldiers. A modern penitentiary,
costing more than $250,000, and a
state reformatory costing $50,000, are
now nearing completion, and two hos-
pitals for the Insane have been estab-
lished. A completo system of public
schools have been established on tho
east side of the stute where practically
none except Indian schools existed in
territory days.
All the larger cities of the state and
some of the smaller ones have built
miles of paved streets and sewerage
systems and practically every city and
town in the state of over 2,000 In-
habitants has voted bonds for schools
and municipal Improvements. .
Politically tho state has been Demo-
cratlo from the beginning, but the
Democrcatlc majorities have not been
large enough to put It In the category
of the solid South. Much experimental
legislation has been adopted and many
of the laws falling under this class
have been tied up In the courts. Same
of these laws, however, have been up-
held by the courts and are in success-
ful operation.
The turbulent political history of
the state Is best known by the fact
that during the three years of Its cu
reer as a state three sessions of the
legislature have been held covering
an aggregate period of nearly ten
months of the thirty-six months of
the stute’s history. Almost an en-
tirely new code of state laws was
adopted by these three eessions, in-
cluding the establishment of many
new state institutions.
COTTON MARKET.
New York.
N«w»York, N. Y.—The market open-
ad easy nt a decline of 5@13 points
dwptte relatively steady cables and
near positions eased off another 2(?p3
points under heavy liquidation and
local selling. Private cables from
Liverpool reported that the south was
relatively firm, but there were rumors
of easier spot markets here and the
Increasing movement seemed to en*
courage bear pressure. At any rate
the market was very nervous and stop
loss orders were uncovered at the
decline. The early selling appeared to
have left the market In a pretty well
liquidated position. At any rate offer-
ings were smaller during the late
forenoon and the market ruled a little
steadier on covering with prices nt
midday showing a net loss of about 7
points, a recovery of 4@5 points
from the lowest. Private advices from
the Bouth, claiming a large percentage
of the crop ginned to November 1 In
both eastern and western sections of
the belt, probably lielped the rally but
failed to create any general demand.

BABY’S GIFT FROM HIS PAPA
Inheritance for Which Mother Did Not
8eem to Be In Any Great
Degree Thankful.
Richard Harding Davla, at a foot-
ball game In Philadelphia, praised the
voices of the young undergraduates
shouting their weird college yella.
“It makes me think of a L/jcuat
street wife." said Mr. Davis, smiling.
"She turned to her husband one night
at dinner and remarked:
" *My dear, the first time I saw you
was at Franklin Field. Your head
was thrown back, your mouth wida
open and your face was very red—
you were yelling your college yell.’
" ‘Yes, I remember,’ said tha young
man.
" ‘And I noticed,’ she continued,
‘what a remarkable voice you had.’
•• ‘Yes, you spoke of It at the time,'
said he. 'But what makes you think
of It now?'
“ ‘Oh, nothing,’ aald the bride.

County Official Held Not Guilty.
Sttgler, Okla.—The examining trial
of County Judge A. I.. Beckett for the
killing of County Treasurer John E.
McBrnyer, resulted In the defendant
being discharged. The testimony
showed justifiable homicide. County
Attorney Foster was assisted in the
prosecution of tho case by Morton
Rutherford of Muskogee, while the de
fenio was conducted by Morton Ruth
erford of Mc-Alester and local attor
neyB. The killing occurred on the
morning following the general elec-
tion. There was considerable reeling
aroused among the friends of both
men at that time, but excitement lias
subsided to a great extent nnd no fur-
ther trouble Is expected.

Question of Rate Per Cent,
Guthrie, Okln.—The suit brought by
the Bankers' Life Insurance company
of Lincoln, Neb., against Insurance
Commissioner Miles Lasater to cam-
pel the licensing of tho company,
set for hearing in the district court
here this weok. Commissioner Lasa
ter refused tho license because th<
company was doing business on th«
assumption that it would be able ti
earn 4 per cent net on its Investments,
while the commissioner held that un-
der the Oklahoma law it was not al
lowed to count on more than 3V4 Per
cent. The company claims that the
commissioner had no discretion in
that matter, but must license it. If It
la shown to be in a solvent condition.
A similar condition has caused the
refusal of r license to the Royal High-
landers, a fraternal organization. No
question is raised as to the company «
being solvent nnd well managed, but
It is doing business on a 5 per cent
basis, while the commissioner insists
that under the law 4 per cent Is the
limit, for that olnas of organization.
Mrs. Quiz—Has your huBband ever
been accused of plagiarism?
Mrs. Spacer—No; and it discourages
him, too. It shows he has never writ-

Mixing His Dates.
There Is a story of a man who was
so transported with Joy as he stood
up at the altar rail to bo married,
that his thoughts reverted to a day
when he stood up at the prisoner’s
bar In a court of Justice to plead
“guilty” or “not guilty” to a criminal
charge. 80 powerfully did that, the
most painful event of hit life, obtrude
itself upon his mind, that when the
clergyman put the question, "Wilt
thou have this woman to be thy
wedded wife?” and so on, the poor
distracted bridegroom answered with
startling distinctness, "Not guilty, so
help mo God!”—From Tuckerman’s
“Personal Recollections.”
Carrollton. Mo.—To have served as
trnnf^uTuTdUtfficIlou fZ
has come to only one man in the his-
tory of the United States. And yet
for nearly 30 years that man, Gen.
James H. Shields, whose military rec-
ord was even more Illustrious than
his record as a statesman, lay in'an
almost forgotten and unmarked grave.
He was the first territorial governi,
of Oregon, he served a full term as
senator from Illinois, he was one of
the first two senators from Minnesota
and he served out an unexpired term
as senator from Missouri. He went
Into the Mexican war a brigadier gen-
eral and served with such distinction
that his sword found ready acceptance
and he was commissioned a brigadier
general at the outbreak of the Civil
war.
General Shields served four states
and his adopted country (he was Irish
bom) both faithfully and well, and
doubtless bad public attention been
called earlier to the neglect of hla
grave In St. Mary’s cemetery here,
Congress would have been quicker to
show, by a monument, Its apprecia-
tion of his services. However, when
Representative Rucker, of Missouri,
Introduced a bill at the last session of
congress to appropriate $3,000 for that
purpose, it was quickly passed and
the monument was recently unveiled.
General Shields was one of the
many young Irishmen who camo to
America in the generation that pre-
ceded the Civil war and gave their
adopted country cause to feel proud
of them. He was born In County
Tyrone, December 12, 1810. About the
age of 16 young Shields emigrated to
the United States and finished his edu-
cation. He studied law and began
practice at KaskaBkla, 111., In 1832.
He rapidly achieved professional dls-

To make up enough of the "Dande-

a prompt euro for Backache and Kid-
ney and Bladder trouble, get from any
good Prescription Pharmacist one-half
ounco fluid extract Dandelion; one
ounce Kargon Compound and three
ouncea Compound Syrup of Sarsapa-
rilla. Shako well In a bottle and take
In tonspoonful doses after each meal
and agnln at bedtime.
Those who have tried It say It acts
gently but thoroughly on the Kidneys
nnd entire urinary system, relieving
the most severe Bnckacho at once.
A well-known medical authority rec-
ommends tho prescription to be taken
the moment you suspect any Kidney,
Bladder or Urinary disorder or feel a
constant dull Backache, or If the urine
le thick, cloudy, offensive or full of
sediment, Irregular of passage or at-
tended by a scalding sensation; or for
too frequent urination during the
night.
Thle Is a real harmless vegetable
mixture which could not cause injury
to anyone and the relief which Is said
to Immediately follow Its use Is a rev-
elation to men nnd women who suffer
from Backache, Kidney trouble or any
fnhn of Urinary disorder.
This le surely worth trying, as It I*

will do It for you, and doesn't cost
much.
