Oklahoma City.—Twenty seven days
of the regular sixty-day session of tlie
Oklahoma legislature have gone by,
aud though the legislature has prac-
tically determined some of the things
it will do, most of them remain yet to |
be done in the thirty-nine days of the
regular session ahead.
Some emphasis is put on the regu
lar session, for It now appears proba-
ble that a special session Immediately
after March ) will be necessary to re-
district the state congressionally.
So far 310 bills have been Introduced
in the house and 180 111 the senate.
Governor Cruce has signed the Colum-
bus Day bill; the legislative expense
bills, and one or two other minor
measures, but none of the big bills
have gone the gauntlet of both houses.
Prohibition enforcement Is one of j
the Important questions to be settled
by this legislature The liouso has
passed a bill by Webb and Anthony
and Thompson (of the senate), but
eliminated therefrom the most vital
section, giving the governor power to
suspend negligent county officers. The
senate has the hill now, and it is on
tho calendar for consideration, with
the section so objectionable to the
house reinserted by senate committee.
Two radically different primary elec-
tion laws have been introduced, one
in the senate and one in tho house.
The latter is the bill framed by Wil-
liam H. Murray, and associates. A
general election law, giving the views
of the present state election board has
been introduced in tho houes. None of
these three bills have be^n acted on,
even by committee.
The house has passed a bill creating
the office of county assessor and the
measure is now in the senate. A bill
creating the office of ditsrict attorney
is on the house calendar ready for
passage or non-passage, and will be
reached this week. Rills creating the
office of county coroner have been
killed.
The house and senate have both
passed a bill Increasing the emolu-
ments of sheriffs and their deputies,
and the same Is back in the house
waiting action on the senate amend-
ments.
The Muskogee fair bill has lodged
apparently for good In the senate com-
mittee on agriculture and live stock in-
dustry, and the subject is no longer
heard discussed. It may be dead or
may bo walling only for the psycho-
logical moment.
The senate has passed Senator Rod-
dle’s amendments lo the hank guar
anty law striking out the section al-
leged to discriminate against national
banks as reserve agents, but not put-
ting bankers on the banking board.
The house has passed finally a bill
creating five supreme court commis-
sioners to work under the direction of
the supreme court and assist in clear-
ing Ihe over-crowded supreme court
docket. Representative Marshall’s
bill appropriating $4.1,000 fur locating
artesian wells in the “Panhandle”
counties has also passed the house.
The game good luck has happened to
Mr. Mllburu’s proposed constitutional
amendment for a five months school.
The senate has killed the bill to in-
crease the emoluments of county su-
perintendents; also a hill to raise the
salary of the state labor commissioner.
Appropriation bills galore have been
introduced, but none have run the
gauntlet of both houses, except the
legislative expense bills and one or
two reappropriating old appropria-
tions. The two state prisons are ask-
ing approximately $750,000 for vari-
ous purposes; the state university
wants $.'.01,000 for maintenance, etc.
The oilier institutions are asking for
amounts smaller but in proportion to
their importance. A senate ami a
house bill would appropriate approxi
malely $3,000,000 for better schools,
but neither have emerged yet from the
obscurity of the respective appropria-
tion committees. Even the much ad
voeated $150,000 appropriation for a
law school building at the state uni-
versity was recommitted by the senalc
Saturday after a tight. A bill ^appro-
priating approximately $3,275,000 of
the 1909 appropriations, because of the
doubt cast upon their validity by a re-
cent supreme court decision, is pend
ing In the senate.
Concealed weapons, gambling, pool
balls and divorces are each attacked in
various bills pending tn tho house and
senate; but none of these "anti" meas-
ures has yet passed tlie final roll call
of their respective branches. Ihe
house has about decided upon a bill re
quiring all automobiles to be register-
ed with Ihe secretary of state, and reg-
ulating the joy riders generally, but it
has not reached tho point of passage
yet. -
Governor Grace's suggestion of a
state hoard of education lias called
forth half a dozen hills, all_ differing
more or less, but none have appeared
from committee.
The mooted question of the code
commission and the code lias not yet
taken definite direction of shape, al
though Ihe senate bus devoted several
««riu debates to the subject.
Oklahoma City, Okla.—The probabil-
ity of an extra session to" con-
vene shortly after the regular session
ends on March 3, has about become a
certainly. No definite action can ho
taken on that most important matter,
congressional redistricting, until con-
gress shall have pussed the ( l Uinpack-
er bill, or some other bill, fixing the
population basis on which the slates
cun work in redlstrlcting Ihe congress-
ional districts.
The impression ts general here, and
is fostered by the views of Oklahoma s
congressional delegation, that congress
will not pass the congressional appor-
tionment bill until near or at the end
of the present session, or about March
3. United Slates Senator Owen says
tills. In other words, the Oklahoma
legislature will not he able to begin
effective work until the end of the reg-
ular legislative session on a matter
that will take up a month at least.
This being true, when the regular
legislative session ends March 3, ad-
journment sine die will take place,
with the distinct understanding that
Governor Cruce call tho assembly to-
gether again as soon as President Taft
signs the apportionment bill. Okla-
homa politicians are d unit in declar-
ing that the matter of redistricting the
stute congressionally is Important
enough not only to justify a special
session, but to demand such.
A few days ago, it is true, some of
the state senators, a minority num-
ber, however, were inclined to urge
that there was no immediate necessity
for tho state being redistricted con-
gressionally. If Oklahoma gets three
additional congressmen, as It will un-
der the Crumpacker bill, they could be
elected at large in 1912; the regular
January 1913 session of the legislature
could attend to redistricting the state
and In 1914 would be held the first
elections in the new districts.
This Idea met general opposition
from state democratic leaders. And
the reason is not far away. Fully one
out of every two state politicians on
the democratic side, who haven’t some-
thing else in view, are intending to
seek one of the new congressional
places.
For two reasons they don’t want the
new congressmen to be elected at
large. In the first place, the expense
of stumping the entire state In the
primaries would be so much greater
than stumping a district. In the sec-
ond place most of these would-be con-
gressmen intend to get the legislature
to so cut out the new districts that
each w ill bo the .only “logical" candi-
date therein and consequently can win
without working or fighting.
It is said that there are fifty candi-
dates for congress among the 109 rep-
resentatives and 44 state senators;
and many of them came to the legisla-
ture largely to see that the congress-
ional redlstrictlng was not adverse to
their own ambitions. A blind man can
see the tight that will ensue when the
redlstrictlng bill* appears. Tho one
matter could keep the legislature busy
for two months, with so many men
wanting a hand in the game.

“My son was about three weeks old i
when I noticed a breaking-out on his ;
cheeks, from which a watery sub-
stance oozed. A short time after, his
arms, shoulders aud breast broke out
also, and in a lew days became a solid
scab. I became alarmed, and called
our family physician, who at once pro-
nounced the disease eczema. The lit-
tle fellow was under his treatment
for about three months. By the end
of that time, he seemed no better. I
became discouraged, and as I had
read the advertisements of Cuticura
Remedies and testimonials of a great
many people who had used them with
wonderful success, I dropped the doc-
tor's treatment, and commenced the
use of Cuticura Soap and Ointment,
and in a few days noticed a marked
change. The eruption on his cheeks
was almost healed, and his shoulders,
arms and breast were decidedly bet-
ter. When he was about seven
months old all trace of the eczema
was gone.
"During his teething period, his
head and face were broken out in
boils which I cured with Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. Surely he must
have been a great sufferer. During the
time of teething and from the time I
dropped the doctor's treatment, I used
the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Oint-
ment, nothing else, and when two
years old he was the picture of health.
His complexion was soft and beauti-
ful, and his head a mass of silky curls.
I had been afraid that be would never
be well, and I feel that I owe a great
deal lo the Cuticura Remedies.”

Bill Approved
The free school book bil lha snot yet
passed the house, but will probably do

Bills to sell all the state school lands
have been introduced and are being
pressed. Bills to legalize the school of
chiropractics are also pending.
Freak bills are present as usual, the
most Important one being by Landrum
to prevent the exhibition of freaks or
monstrosities. An antl-‘‘tip” bill was
killed in the house; also a bill to make
it a misdemeanor to wear bird feathers
on hats. This list also includes a bill
prohibiting marriage unless both par-
ties to the contract present certificates
of good health. A bill prohibiting rop

in the house.
Hackett Takes Shot at Schools
Oklahoma City.—That the system of
state control of higher institutions of
learning was now on trial and that
time would show that state universi-
ties are a failure, was the declaration
made bv Senator Jesse M. Hackett of
Durant in the debate in the senate
over the appropriation of $150,000 for
a new building for the law school ol
the state university at Norman.
By reason of that belief Hackett was
opposing the appropriation.
IBs speech brought a sharp reply
from Senator Thompson, author of th«
bill who declared that Hackett was
out of harmony with the principles of
Thomas Jefferson.
Final action on the bill was deferred
because of the raising of n question as
to whether appropriations for build-
ings and equipment could be made in
or.e lump sum or whether the two
Items would have to be separated.
Bill Recommitted
The senate Saturday recommitted
tho state university law school appro
priation bill of $110,000 to a joint com-
m it tee composed of tho senate appro
priation and public buildings commit
toe. Senator Thomas’ bill allowing the
transfer of school lands sold from the
first purchaser to another was passed
to third reading. The bill provides, in
brief, that the notes made hv the first
purchaser to the stnte shall be surren
dered to hint, and the second purchas
er, or person to whom the tract It
transferred, shall make nek notes.
of his civilized ancestors, carried the
warning to the agency at Yellow Med-
icine. Here he gathered the fright-
ened pioneers in’ the stone warehouse
for the night, and in the morning saw
them safely across the river before
the storm of savage fury which car-
ried hundreds of settlers to death was
upon them.
There is nothing in the meager his-
tory of Old Joe which shows that he
felt any close attachment for the
whites, and after that one day of serv-
ice he dropped back into his old life
again.
But some pride of the white man re-
mained in him so that when the re-
wards for the Indians who had helped
the whites in the outbreak had run
through the red tape of government
departments and Joe received nothing
but a few farming Implements, he ac-
cepted them sullenly and refused to
fight for what was his by right. The
gift of these tools he always consid-
ered as a personal insult.
One piece of log chain he always re-
tained, insisting that it was the per-
sonal gift of Abraham Lincoln. This
chain, when he could be prevailed
upon to talk about the matter at ail,
he always exhibited with infinite
scorn as the gift of Ihe great white
father for his services to his white
children.
Shortly before Old Joe died, Doane
Robinson, secretary of the State His-
torical society of South Dakola, visit-
ed him In his home near Vebiln, In
Marshall county, S. D. This is Mr.
Robinson’s account of the interview:
"I found old Joe smoking his pipe
In front of IBs cabin, and he motioned
me to a seat by his side.
" My grandfather, La Framboise,
was very nice man,’ said Old Joe.
•Very nice man, very religious man.
He was shot in bees teepee while say-
ing hees prayers,’
“Old Joe smiled through his griz-
zled beard which sparsely covered his
thoroughly Sioux features, and said:
’I have not said my prayers. 1 not
reesk it.’
"Joe displayed not a little Gaelic
pride In his ancestors. His conversa-
tion about the grandfather led him lo
boast of Ills relationship to Franklin
Pierce.
"Joe picked up Ihe bit of log chain
which he said was a gift from Lincoln,
then threw it down and kicked it un-
til the heavy links rattled.
“There was a great deal of sarcasm
and bitterness in Joe. Perhaps the
one glimps? of the better man within
him had disappointed him with the
rather sordid preponderance. He re-
fused to discuss the Yellow Medicine
rescue, for that was another man, tb«
man at Yellow Medicine."
Crutches or Biers.
Richard Croker, at a dinner in New
York, expressed a distrust for aero-
planes. „
"There’s nothing underneath them,
he said. "If the least thing goes
wrong, down they drop.
“I said to a Londoner the other
day:
“ 'How is you son getting on since
he bought a flying machine?’
“ ’On crutches, like the rest of
them,’ the Londoner replied.”

When You Think
Of the pain which many women experience with every
month it makes the gentleness and kindness always associ-
ated with womanhood seem to be almost a miracle.
While in general no woman rebels against what she re-
gards as a natural necessity there is no woman who would
not gladly be free from this recurring period of pain.
Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription makes
weak women strong and sick women
well, and Hives them freedom from pain,
ft establishes regularity, subdues inflam-
mation, heals ulceration and cures fe-
male weakness.
