Take Eject July 1.

The report sent out from Pierre OF
the decision Of the Supreme Court A. to
b date upon which the laws passed
BY the last legislature, without the
emergency clause. went into effect
were In error In some particulars. The
constitution of the state provides that
no law shall take effect until ninety
DAYS after the Legislature adi0urns.
An old territorial law Of 1890 provides
that the laws without the emergency
clause shall go into effect July 1. The
court held that the constitutional pro-
vision that no law shall take effect
until ninety days after the Legislature
AdjOurns was negative in form and
does mot prohibit . law from taking
effect later than ninety days, aud
therefore that the act of 1889 WAS In
force. and all laws passed by the last
Legislature without the emergency
clause do not 20 into effect until July
/. Ono hundred laws were enacted
last year without the clause, hence
they will take effect on the first Of
next month aud not ON June 81, ~
many supposed.

and awaits with CONSERVATION the details

The most damage was done IN the vicin-

portion of the county. Passing north
ward and slightly to the east it crossed
the South Canadian river about midway
between Purcell and Norman. Here it
struck the thickly settled portion of the
county and only missed Moore by about
one mile. Seven dwelling houses and two
school houses were destroyed, besides ma
chinery and stock and numerous outbuild-
inGs, fences and barns.
The last and most destructive cyclone
passed about five miles west and north of
Norman through what is known as "Ten
Mile Fla.," along the Canadian river, the
most prosperous agricultural vicinity of
the county. Its force was spent few
miles further north. The loss of stock and
farming implements is a serious one. Alb
solutely nothing Nas left uninjured along
the track of the last cyclone, which was
the severeSt ever witnessed.

A Celebrated New York Case Ends In "a


Surprise.
NEW YORK, April 27.-Dr Robert w.
Buchanan, who has been on trial for the
past few weeks charged with the poisoning
of his wife, was found guilty of murder in
the first degree. The jury had been out
twenty-four hours and their lengthy delib-
Grafton gave the defendant and his counsel
the hope that they would at least disagree.
The verdict was in the nature of sur
prise. The Buchanan case has excited a
good deal of interest hereabouts, following

Harris, and was similar in many respects
to that celebrated case.
buchanan married woman much older

considerable money through her proprietor

together. and when the woman died sud-

her property to her husband, an investiga-
tion followed which resulted in Buchanan's
arrest and his subsequent trial, ending in
conviction. Counsel has given notice of
the usual exceptions and an appeal A
chief cause of the surprise was the manner
in which the experts got tangled. Their
evidence really wasn't worth anything to

PURGlNG THE PENSION LIST.
A Campaign Against Alleged Fraudulen.
Pensioners,


WASHINGTON, April 27.-Steps have been
taken by deputy Commissioner Murphy to
secure information relative to pensioners
whose names should be stricken from the
rolls. The belief obtains on the part of the
administration that the pension lists should
be purged of quite number of names now
on it, and an effort will be made to weed
out persons who are clearly not entitled to
the benefits of our pension laws. A circular
letter signed by Murphy has been sent to
all the special agents in the field directing
them to make inquiry wherever they may
be concerning fraud on the part of pension
ers in the vicinity.
The idea is to collect the local informa
ton in various neighborhoods regarding
pensioners. and in small towns it is
thought there will be no difficulty in learn
ing of any irregularities known in the To-
cality to exist. At the same time agents
must be careful in their inquiries and not
endeavor to stir up malicious gossip.
Postmasters will also be asked to furnish
any information they may learn regarding
fraud ulent pensioners.
