of the senate has been called by Presi-

anti-trust legislation. The extra session
convened at noon yesterday It is said
that statehood Will be granted Oklaho-

people of this territory still have some
consolation in some more republican
promises. It is mighty poor consolation

fl lie Washington Post one day this
"week contained a cartoon on the state-
hood situation which excited much com
ment among members of congress. It
represented a legislator homeward
bound from the capital, carrying the le-
gend (i. (), I*, on his hat band, and in
one hand a scroll: "To the public All
promised legislation has been cnaeteil,
platform pledges redeemed." Three
little boys in knickerbockers and som-
breros are making fun of the statesman
and laughing at him .Is if to split their
sides. They are labeled "oklahoma,"
•'Arizona" and "New Mexico," and the
statesman shows that he is greatly an-

boys.

l.acey's Teachers' and Patrons' Meeting.
From our Lacey corre*|Joiideiit.
It is probable that the most important,
es well as the most interesting educa-
tional meeting ever held in this part of
the county, was held here last Friday
evening and Saturday.
As per arrangementsof County Super-
intendent G. D. Moss, President Conway
of Alva Normal school, was expected to j me
deliver a lecture Friday night, but for
some unknown cause he was not present.
lhit t he people of Lacey are not easily
put out.
A discussion of the Hanna ex-slave
pension bill was taken up and ably dis-
cussed by some of the able spokesmen of
which Lacey can justly boast.
Owing to the severity of the weather,
teachers and patrons were rather late
in congregating on Saturday morning.
About noon two tables, the entire length
of the room, were spread. As if by
magic there appeared upon those tables
every conceivable eatable, which the
good cooks of Lacey know how to pre-
pare. After all had eaten, the meeting
was called to order by L. T. Hickman
and the programme for the day taken
up. Quite a lengthy and very interest-
ing paper on our course of study was
read by L. T Hickman. A general dis
cussion followed, and brilliant speeches
were made by Thos. Waters, T* J. Mo-
Carl, Berry Wood, A. G. Howies ami
others.
The characteristics and use of a text
book, consolidation of schools and trans-
formation of pupils, and visiting of the
schools by patrons wero taken up in
their regular order and lengthily dis-
cussed.
During the entire programme intense
inteiest was shown by the teachers and
patrons present, and excellent order
prevailed.
The meeting adjourned at about .r :;u
o'clock p. in., and all went home feeling
that they had been highly entertained
and greatly benefitted by being present.
A mooting tor the same purpose was
held at this place by Superintendent <«
D. Moss last year. As people in general
have shown so much interest in these
meetings, we anticipate another grand
teachers' and patrons' meeting here
next year.

the rumors. While there is nothing
definite in the present rumor, ii is said
that the beliel among prominent rail-
road officials that the Mock I land'
i Frisco ileal has gone through is so pro-
J nounoed, that the deal seems to be a
certainty.
However, the reported chanjj
stirred tilings up considerably in
town and city that would be affected in I
anyway b\ such a deal. Wichita, where [
the Frisco is building terminals and a!
new passenger and freight depot, i-
agitated because of the rumored deal. ;
Wichita figures that if the Ilock Island
has secured control of the Frisco, t hat j
all of the improvements now going on
there will come to a stop. Oklahoma
City, where the railroad interests are ■
dominated by the Frisco, Santa Fe and
Hock Island, the people are on the anx-
ious seat as to what will be the outcome
as regards the town by the deal ICnhl,
which has been expect ing great things |
from the Frisco, is also more or I -s up I
in the air over the proposed change |
All of these towns, and many more are
wondering what will happen to them
when the new state of affairs becomes a
reality. They all figure that instead of
the towns being benefitted by the change
conditions will be such that the merg-j
ing of the road will bo a detriment, in j
more ways than one.
Hennessey, which hfts only the Hock
Island main line, isn't worrying about
any chango taking place that will hurt
the town. 'I here is talk, however, that

Food Protection.
A decision far reaching in its effect
and of interest to all lovers of pure food,
has just been handed down by Judge
Adams in the ( ircuitCourt of the United
States.
The suit in question was brought
against The Union Biscuit <'ompan.\ for
infringement on the ln-er-seal pack ace,
Controlled exclusively bv The National
Biscuit Company, for t lie protection ol
biscuit and crackers against dust, mois-
ture, odor and germs.
In deciding against The Union Biscuit
Company. Judge Adams says:
"The proof abundantlv shows that
prior to the invention of the patent, the
old paper cartoons or boxes, were inad-
equate to the demands of the service re-
quired of them; that their contents d
teriorated rapidlv ii< substance
flavor: that they wore subjected to the
baneful etl'ects of the air, moisture and
t he
and the road will not be t
<iuthrie, as has been the
the company that is buildii
If this happens, a slight ben< lit will ac-
crue to Hennessey, although the road
on the east has never been much of it
detriment to the intere sts of this town.
But if the road was completed and put
in a condition to handle much business,
some of the trade thai belon-s to Hon
noSsey would go k/Marshall. The onl\
difference it makes to this place
whether the merging of the roads takes
place lies in the completion of the
Donver, Enid A: Gulf. Aside from this
the people of Hennessey are not much
interested in the new deal.

sumer and ai the same time lessens the

Jud^e Adams' full decision against
the infringement not only shows the
