CHORUS.
During the presentation of diplomas by
A. M, small, the president of the board of
trustees, the Belfasters made their way OH
as quietly as possible, and returned to the
hotel, regretting that the lateness OF the
hour and sthat tired feeling" precluded
their staying to hear Prof. George Emery
Fellows, president of the University of
Maine, give the address to the graduatinH
class. Our chaperone had thoughtfully Or
dered coffee ''agin" our return, and it was
gratefully partaken of before getting set
tied in the buck board By the time we
were ready to start the exercises were over,
and the class was on its way to the Grange
hall, where they expected morning to find
them still banqueting. Complimentary
cheers were given by both Freedom and
Belfast, and we started on our homeward
way well satisfied with ourselves and every
body else. The chorus concert program en-
route was varied and, like variety show, a
continuous performance, varied by occa-
sional solos. The two Junior buck boards

sum of s12.044 and per cent interest
thereon from October. 1902, which the pc
tition alleges these defendants fraudu-
lently obtained from the government.
The petition alleges a conspiracy on
the part of these defendants. charging
that they did conspire, confederate and
fraudulently agree to make and present
for allowance and payment to and by the
secretary of the interior department of
the government certain false and fraudu-
lent claims of Stokes against the gov
ernment.
The petition sets out in full the location
of the bridge piers complained of, the
size, character of masonry, etc. and
then saysfth was audited and allowed
one claim for the construction of two
stone piers over Rainy Mountain creek,
which claim fraudulently represented
that the said two piers were constructed
and completed and that the same con-
tanned sixty cubi yards of stone masonry
at $40 per cubic yard, making a total
of 1884 The petition further alleges that
no such piers were ever built as set out
in such claim.
A similar charge is made as to piers
designated as bridge 'I," over Little Elk
creek.
The petition charges that in certain
other designated piers the quantity of
masonry in fact constructed or intended
to be constructed by the defendant
Stokes was not executed in safe of
workmaniike manner, but that the banks
of each of the piers were above the bed
of the stream of water and were con-
structed upon a base of earth, sand or
loose Ioam. and that they were not of
solid masonry as they were fraudulently
represented to be, but We're shells filed
with loose stones.
The petition further alleges that in pur-
suance of said conspiracy Stokes made
out his claims for piers and wings as for
solid masonry piers, and that w. J. Ryan
IN pursuance of said conspiracy entered
upon each claim his certificate to the ef-
feet that as superintendent he had duly
inspected the masonry work set out in
the claim, and accepted the same as ful-
filling the specifications of the contract;
and that in furtherance of said conspir
acy, Poole. Blair and Ryan. acting as
the board of county commissioners, on
the 11th day of August, 1902, audited and
allowed said claims: and that said board
of county commissioners knew that said
claims were false and fraudulent, and
were made to defraud the government

subterranean lake underlies a portion OF
fact, says the Oklahoman. About ten
feet below the ground and beneath a
tract of about fifty acres located north
of Eighth street and west of Hudson
street is a body of blacksh water vary
ing depth from five to fifteen feet, and
persons residing in that locality when
sinking wells. have to construct casting
through this bIackish water and get the
pure water some ten feet below the sub
terranean lake.
1t is believed that ages ago that this
was a portion a vast inland sea or a
part of the Gulf of Mexico In digging
wells on the tract mentioned many peb
bles and sea shells are found and larg-
er rocks have been brought to the sur
face that have been worn perfectly
round and smooth and evidently shapen
thus by the action of the sea waves.
Old plainsmen and Indians say that
the earths surface about Oklahoma City
has undergone considerable transforma-
tion within even the past seventy-five
years and it is generally known that
not many years ago the main channel of
the North Canadian river coursed very
near The present business district Of the
city on the south and west sides, where
the main body of the storm water made
itself manifest in the storm period Of
last spring. Some large cottonwood trees
near the Frisco track in the western su-
burbs of the city mark the early channel
of the stream.
1t is also we'll known that underlying
all that portion of the city from the
Shoctaw tracks southwark to the pre-
sent river channel is vast gravel bed,
verying from ten to thirty feet in thick
ness. through which a greater volume
Of water flows than courses through the
open channel of the river 1t is said that
there is quite a strong current Of water
in this strata of gravel. which has been
frequently demonstrated by dropping a
feather down into the northwest side
of a well. the feather being swiftly car
ried to the southeast side OF the well.
1t has been asserted that if all the
waters of the North Canadian river
flowed on the surface the size and vol
urne of the stream would commensurate
with the Ohio river.

B. Ferguson announced today in response
to a query by the representative of the
Eagle. that the resignation of Jas. ].
Houston as secretary of the territorial
board for leasing school lands was not

Houston was not exonerated, saic
the governor in talking of the affair.
His removal was because he could not

Kiowa, Caddo and Comanche. On June
26, the days of the investigation by the
territorial board, told Mr.. Grimes and
Mr.. Baxter that Houston could not be
retained longer in office One member
of the board suggested that his removal
be postponed for time, but this 1 would
not permit.
1T has been alleged that in not retain

investigation held by the board did not
result in a finding against Houston, but
the investigation was not concluded as
it was known that more evidence would
be submitted Before another board
meeting was held, Houstons resignation
went in, and it was presumed at that
time that the unity to step down and out
without too much adverse criticism.
Since that time however, it has been
brought to the ears of Governor Fergu-
son that he was being freely criticised
by friends of Houston and that there
was an effort to make a martyr out
of Houston for political purposes.
Whether these statements were true or
not, Governor Ferguson had no hesitation
today in giving the inside of the Hous-

Since Houston's removal additional evil

GIRL AND WOMAN
CARE NEEDED AT THE TRANSIT
TION FROM ONE TO THE
OTHER.
Many Life Spent in Suffering Be.
cause Troubles Were Allowed to
Develop at This Time.

Every mother OF a growing girl should
remember that there will come a time
when her daughter will be a girl no
longer but wiz share with her the bless
inss of womanhood. Unless nourish-
ment keeps pace with growth the founda-
tions of a life of suffering are laid at that
time. Chlorosis, commonly called green
sickness, may develop unless the blood is
kept rich and pure; incipient consump-
ton and nervous constitutional troubles
that have been dormant in the blood,
will surely appear unless the system is kept
toned up until the danger line is passed.
Mrs. John MacKinney, of No. AS Thir-
teenth street. Detroit. Mich, writes a
timely word on the subject. She says:
Il did not get proper care at the first
critical time in my life and for seven
teen years l suffered as result. had
dizzy spells, felt a constant fear that
something dreadful; was about to hap
pen. and was afraid TO go out alone.
My breathing was very short and / had
palpitation of the heart so badly that 1
could not go upstairs nor walk even
moderately fast. l was so nervous that
1 could not sit still At different times
for years / was under the care of the
best physicians in Detroit and l tried
a number of advertised medicines. Moth
ing helped me until, on the advice cf
neighbor, | tried Dr. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People. 1 felt relieved before
the first box was finished and I kept on
taking them until / was cured.
Last winter my little girl had rheuma-
tism and l gave her DR.. Williams Pink
Pills and she got well right away. My
sisters daughter was thought to be- go
ing into consumption and. upon my ad-
vice, she tried the pills. They cured her
cough and she is now we'll and strong.
You can readily see that my entire fam
lily is enthusiastic over DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People and we can
not say enough in their praise
Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People
are always successful because they go
to the root Of the disease. Other rene
dies act on the symptoms-these mar
velous vegetable pills remove the cause
of the trouble. They have proven them
selves to be an unfailing specific for all
diseases arising from impure or inn
poyerished blood and weakened nerves
two fruitful causes of nearly all the Ills
to which humankind is heir. DR.. VIII
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People are sold
in boxes at 80 cents box, or six boxes
for $3.50. and may be had of all druggists.
