bill ADVOCATES LEASES.
Governor Instructed by Interior
Department Not To Sign.
QUARANTINE BILL is VETOED.

Guthrie, Okla, Mar. Ex-Governor
Ferguson vetoed the quarantine bill
that was passed by the last legislature.
His action in killing the measure was
prompted by instructions from the
interior department at Washington
telling him not to sign it. The gov
ernor had expressed himself as being
in favor of signing the bill and gave it
out that he would. The interior de-
partment said that the bill abrogated
leases made by the government in the
Otoe Indian reservation and was
worthless.
Henry e. Asp, attorney for the Santa
Fe at Guthrie, said that the principal
objection to the quarantine bill as
finally agreed upon and passed by the
Oklahoma legislature was that by
throwing an impossible line around
the Otoe and Missouri Indian reserva-
tons it abrogated certain rights accru-
ing to cattlemen who had contracted
with the government for pasture with
in those reservations, and by reason of
that fact was clearly unconstitutional
1.-The Importance of fair quarantine
legislation to Kansas City can hardly
be estimated" said Mr.. Asp. ''If the
Matthews bill originally introduced
and passed in the house, throwing a
stone wall around all OF Oklahoma,
had gone through intact it would have
meant that 10000 cattle annually
from the southern pastures which now
come here would possibly have been
detected to the ST. Louis market. The
original bill was ininical to the cotton
growers, the oil mills and the cattle
men of Oklahoma, and whatever affects
those interests unfavorably will have a
cognate effect upon Kansas City, which
is the natural market for the terri
tory"

Topeka, Mar. 2o.-It is just discov-
cred that the bill to prohibit the
making of exclusive contracts was
never passed by the legislature. This
bill was aimed at the harvester trust,
and everybody, including all the state
officials, thought it had passed and
become law. The harvester trust
lobby evidently got in its work. With
in the past few days scores Of letters
have been received by the secretary of
state asking about the exclusive con-
tract law. That official bad clerk
look the matter up in order to reply to
the letters. 1t was then found that
the bill had fallen by the wayside.

Alhambra, Ill. March 23d.-Physi-
clans are much puzzled over the case
Of Mr.. F. ]. Oswald of this place. Mr..
Oswald suffered much with Rheuma-
tism and was treated by doctor after
doctor with the result that he got no
better whatever. They seemed un-
able to do anything for him, and he
continued to suffer till he heard Of
Dodd's Kidney Pills.
Mr.. Oswald began a treatment of
this remedy, which very soon did for
him what the doctors had failed to do
and they cannot understand it.
This is the same remedy that cured
Hon. Fred A. Busse, our State Treas
urer, of a very severe case Of Rheu-
matism some years ago and which has
since had an unbroken record of sue
cess in curing all forms Of Rheuma.
tism and Kidney Trouble.
There seems to be no case of these
painful diseases that Dodd's Kidney
Pills will not cure promptly and per
manently.
