Hon. j. Y. CALLAHAN feels quite
sure that some good may come to
Oklahoma out of the presenr session
OF congress between now and the 4th
OF March, and II it does not the Repub-
lican majority in congress will alone
be responsible for it. These are free
homes, statehood and the donat on OF
the Fort Sill reservation TO Oklahoma
for an insane asylum. The enactment
Of one or all three OF these measures
depend exclusively upon the action Of
speaker Reed. he can let all Of them
become law or he can prevent any
of them. The free homes bill will be
added TO the Indian bill In the senate
and then 1t will go back in that shape
to the house. and II Speaker Reed
says so IL will become q law, and il be
says no IL will not. The responsibility
for its fate is wholly in the hands Of
the Republican majority OF the house,

BY local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that Is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infiamed condition Of the mucous
lining of the ecustachian tube. When
this tube Is inhamed you have q rum
bling sound or imperfect bearing, and
when II is entirely closed, deafners is
the result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube restor-
ed TO its normal condition, hearing
will be Destroyed forever; nine cases
out OF ten are caused by catarrh,
WHICH is nothing but an indamed con-

DOES IN MEAN THAT

A great many persons who have
been keeping a close tab IN the legis-
Iature believe that the vote in the
house on the Doyle bill is an indication
that the administration on the subject
Of the tax raise will be sustained and
endorsed. They argue that In refer
ring the bill TO the committee Instead
OF keeping II in the committee Of the
whole as its friends insisted 1t should
be, means that IL will not be heard of
again this session. The bill was pig
eonholed by reference to the commit
tee by the following vote cn Doyle's
substitute TO retain it in committee Of
the whole.

TED FROM THE MESs1GEs
Governor Barnes message was in
tended to have been complete state
ment Of Rll the facts connected with
the territorial administretion. and no
state paper is complete that suppress

should have given some reason why
the auditor is paid two salaries when
the amended law governing his ONCE
and that of the superintendent of
public instruction, only intended he
should receive one salary, which the
appropriation act fxed2 Or why 10
per cent of the school fund is paid TO
the attorney general ia addition to
salary Of 81 800 year ss attorney
general9 or why the acting adjutant
general is paid sll6 month when the
law provides that the salary shall be

The absence OF any mention of
these fscts and some others of equal
moment from the message could not
have been accidental, and the fact
