Under the new law passed bv the last
legislature, the state lands shall be
rented at 4 per cent of the appraised
value, the rentals for the next tive years
being based on the appraisment of

The Sheik L'lislam, supported by all
the principal personages of the higher
church administration issued the Ketva,
as the decree of deposition is called. It
informed Meheiued Reshad Effendi
that he was chosen Sultan by the will
of the church, with the will of the par-
liment, the will of the army and the
will of the people. It admouished him
to serve God and keep the sacred law,

ates as to whether Abdul Hamid had
not forfeited the right to rule over the
faithful, they hud decided "Yes."
Abdul bowed his bead, saving:
"It is the will < f Allah."
At u secret sitting of the national as-
sembly in the early morning the decree
was read. It declared that Abdul Hamid
must abdicate or be dethroned. The
assembly unhesitatingly shouted:
••Dethrone him."
A deputation, consisting of two sena-
tors and two deputies, thereupon visited
the palace at Yildiz and communicated
to the Sultan the assembly's resolution.
Abdul Hamid replied:
" I expected this, ft my fate. My
only wish is that the lives of myself and
family mav he safeguarded and that 1
mav reside at the palace of L'openhagan
as I wish to die where I was born.
A similar deputation to the Dolmaba-
gti. he palace in lialatu and informed
Meheiued Reschad Ktteudi of the na-
tions wish. The newly proclaimed
sultan replied that he bowed to the
will of the people
Later the assembly debated the mo-
mentous question of Abdul Hamid's fu-
ture residence, The suggestion that he
be alloyved to travel abroad was strong!)
opposed on the ground that it might
cause complications. It was finally de-
cided that he must remain in Constanti-
nople.
VOTERS TO PASS ON LAWS.
Initiative and Referendum Working
Overtime.
Oklahoma's initiative and referendum
provition of the c.nstitutution is work-
ing overtime. Since the adjournment
of the legislature, a little more than a
month ago, arrangements have been
completed for submitting to the people
two laws passed by the legislature un-
der tlie referendum, two constitutional
amendments under the initiative, and
definite announcement has been made
that another law aud another constitu-
tional amendment will be submitted.
Senator (Jampbell Russell led off by
circulsting petitions to initiate a law to
locate the state capital site by the New
Jerusalem plau, aud was followed by
the state republican organization, which
is now circulating petitions to refer to
the people the general election law
passed bv the legislature. The Okla-
homa Suffrage association has prepared
its yetitions for a constitutional amend-
ment for woman suffrage. The social-
ists are circular ig similar petitions,
and .ue .* itiug petitions for a

Sous of Washington have prepared a
constitutional amendment substituting

hibition, and will hegiu circulating pe-
titions after the city electious, April 27.
Hill Murray, speaker of the first Okla-
homa legislature and president of the
constitutional convention, announced
before the adjournment of the legisla-
ture that unless it submitted an amend
ment to the constitution for the Tor
rens land registration system, ho would
secure its submission by the initiative,
and the officers of the Farmer's Union
made a similar announcement concern-
ing a stringent usury law to vitalise the
provisions of the constitution.

INVESTIGATE ADA LYNCHING.
• rand Jury Given Instructions by
Judge West.
Oklahoma City, Okla., April 27. —
District Judge A. T. West today in ad-
dressing the grand jury called at Ada,
Okla., to investigate the recent lynch-
ing of four prominent white men, said
"the lynching was the most outrageous
crime since the civil war in the south-
west."
"Remember your God," he said
further, "let him be your guide in your
actions in the investigation of fht
lynchers.
"Your plain duly is to set anexample
and set the state right in the eye- of tin-
world as being law-abiding."
He further remarked that possible
laxity of officials aud uoii-enforcemeut
of the law was responsible for the action |
of the lynchers.
The jury is composed of the best citi- ,
zen%from all parts of the country, with
Tom Lancaster, an Ada citizen, fore-
man.
To Keep Shoe Laces Tied.
A way to keep the shoe lace tied
is to make a bow in the ordinary way.
then insert a button hook underneath
the center of the bow and draw one
loop and one end through (under

ally upside down. Or draw one loop
through the other and pull the "an

knotted.

Can Stand More Acres in Cereals.
There is no longer any danger of
overproduction of breadstuffs and meat
and dairy products in this country.
Extension of the area of cultivation ap-
proaches the limit more and more, and
it does not keep pace with increase of
population. The demands of the do-
mestic market for consumption advance
out of proportion to production, and
the surplus for export is relatively di-
minishing while the world's require-
ments increase. The export of farm
products is still our mainstay for pay-

Nervous
Collapse
"I have traveled for thirty
years continually. I lost a great
deal of sleep, which together
with constant worry left me in
such a nervous state that finally,
after having two collapses of
nervous prostration, I was
obliged to give up traveling al-
together. I doctored continually
but with no relief. Dr. Miles'
Nervine came to my rescue—I
cannot describe the suffering
which this Nervine saved me.
Whenever I am particularly
nervous a few doses relieve me."
A. G. C. LIBBY. Wells, Me.
There are many nervous
wrecks. There is nervous pros-
tration of the stomach, of the
bowels, and other organs. The
brain, the kidneys, the liver, the
nerve centers are all exhausted.
There is but one thing to do—
build up the nervous system by
the use of Dr. Miles' Restora-
tive Nervine. Its strength-
ening influence upon the nerv-
ous system restores normal
action to the organs, and when
they all work in harmony, health
is assured. Get a bottle from
your druggist. Take il all ac-
cording to directions, and if it
Hftcs not benefit he will return
your money.
Recollections of Tour.
In a London drawing room recently
the hostess said to a comfortable-look-
ing lady, the widow of a wealthy Mid-
land manufacturer, who had been tour-
ing during the winter in the sunny
south: "Of course, you went to Rome,
dear Mrs. Dash?" "Rome!" replied the
widow, vaguely and meditatively, "did
we go to Rome, Ethel?"—to her
daughter this. "Yes, ma, you know
we did. that big place where I bought
those lovely Bilk stockings."
