BOND NOT FORFEITED
Vice President Of Capitol National
Claimed He Had Not Been Notified

GUTHRIE: J. c. Robb, vice presi-
dent of the defunct Capitol National
bank, whose bond was declared for
feited in the United States district
court, appeared in court later and
showed that he had not been notlhed
Of the date set for his hearing, where
upon the former action was annulled.
The indictment against him was then
quashed under the Phillips decision,
and he was given ten days in which
to furnish a new bond After the bond
of Robb had been forfeited 1t was
found that the original bond was miss
ing from the clerks office, as was also
that of Il. A. Neal, who was indicted
at the same time. Neal was then
clerk of the court. The loss OF Neals
bond was discovered in September,
and he gave a new bond at that time.

LEARNED in c0VNTRy SCHOOL

In sweet October's short'Ling days,
When comes the purple, smoky haze
OF many an Indian summer morn,
When through the rustling blades of corn
The wlnsome winds OF autumn play
No trace of winter, cold and gray
Then fancy takes a backward flight,
Forgotten pleasures come to light,
The fun and frolic, rigid rule,
OF childhood's joy-the Country School!
The course OF study was not high,
But small boys oft were made to- sigh,
With eyes upon the dog cared book,
Not daring otherwheres to look:
'"The rule of three" they pondered Ger.
And sadly mused on Webster's lore;
McGuffey's Readers were the JOY
or every story loving boy
The teacher at his desk and stool
Was tsar and sultan I'm the school.
But minds Oppressed would soon rebound
When came the call of fox and hound |;

CONGRESSIONAL ACTION WANTED
Judge Hainer Will Not Continue Using
Common Law Juries

GUTHRIE: Judge Hainer sustained
the challenge to the amended grand
jury, which was drawn under the direc-
tion of Judge Burford, and discharged
the jury. He will probably let the
grand jury matter rest for the present
in hope of congressional action, which
he believes to be the only absolute
remedy for existing defects. He
hopes for congressional action by
Christmas. The present term OF court
here will continue until February, and
II action is not taken by congress
early in the session the common law
grand jury will probably be impan-
eied. Judge Hainer has been using
common law grand juries, and still be-
lieves that they are all right, but hesl-
tates to continue, as the other Oklaho-
ma judges do not agree with him.

it, we'll knowing that the fault is not
with the SOIL but with the people.
King Victor Emmanuel is intent upon
rectifying the mistakes made by his
predecessors, which have been many
and grave. The Italian government
spent half a million lire on a policy
which wound up in defeat and the mas
sacre of 10000 soldiers, at Adowa, in
Africa. 1t listened to a clique of reck-
less spectators who even gained by the
defeat, as vultures of their ilk will al
ways understand to profit by the losses
of others.
The millions wasted upon Italian ex-
pansion in Africa might have been used
to far better advantage in helping the
farmers of the country, in the drying
out of swamps, in the construction of
roads and in Tightening the taxes which
are crushing the farmers.
King Victor Emmanuel seems to un-
derstand this and is eager to carry out
reforms, but at the same time he seems
to forget that while his people are poor
he receives an exorbitant salary-$3,-
100000 a year. In proportion to the
number of tax payers he is better paid
than King Edward, the kaiser and the
czar, not to speak of the presidents of
France and the United States.

a considerable amount of good dollars
are Gen. Grosvenor, of Ohio; Champ
Clark, of Missouri Charles Landis of
Indiana; Cushman, of Washington;
Adam Bede, of Minnesota, and others
of the lower house, while Senator Dolli-
yer, of Iowa, has for number of years
been star attraction on the lecture
platform in these chautauqua circles.
Senator Tillman also has appeared on
this forum, but his eloquence is little
radical and red hot for the literary Or
CARNATIONS.
Senator Dolliver has had to decline
engagements of this sort this year on
account of pressure of other business.
His absence from the lecture platform
would be matter of great regret. Gen.
Grosvenor and Champ Clark generally
travel together as an attraction in joint
debate. The entertainment they afford
is unique and greatly enjoyed. They are
the most radical types of partisans in
the house. Gen. Grosvenor is a stalwart
republican of the most aggressive kind,
and his part of the entertainment is to
attack the democratic party and its prin-
ciples.
Champ Clark is just as radical DEM
ocrat as Grosvenor is a republican, and
he completes the entertainment by at
tacking the republican party and its
principles. They go at it hammer and
tongs and do not spare each other or
each others party. 1t is rare treat to
hear these champions manipulate the
English language in devising invective
and arguments on their favorite themes.
One would suppose that they were bitter
enemies, but after the election is over
they go off arm in arm, and, in reality,
are close, warm, personal friends.

party has at its command, and he has
filled a number of government positions
during the past 30 or 40 years.
1t is related of Tanner, that when he
was being carried off the Bull Run field
on stretcher, his mangled feet hung
over the edge Of the canvas and gave
him great torture. AS he was being car
ried past a Pennsylvania regiment a
young soldier stepped from the ranks
and laid the wounded feet within the
canvas stretcher. Years after the war,
when Tanner was collector of internal
revenue at Brooklyn, he was telling
Daniel Butterfeld, a lawyer friend of
his, about losing his feet, and the Incl
dent of some one placing them in the
canvas fold of the stretcher as he was
being carried off the field. "If could
learn the name of the soldier who did
that act, l certainly would stand his
friend and try to help him if it ever came
into my power" the corporal added
Il can tell you who the soldier was"
said Mr.. Butterfield. "It was my
Brother Ben, for / have heard him often
relate how he lifted the mangled feet of
SOidiSi WIN was DeluS CdIIleu WOuhu-
ed from the Bull Run field into a
stretcher as he saw how the poor fellow
was suffering"
Corp. Tanner was greatly pleased to
learn the name of his good angel, and
when he was made commissioner of PEN
sions by President Harrison, the first
of his official acts was to appoint Banja-
min Butterfield to be chief of one of the
divisions in the pension bureau. Corp.
Tanner, as soon as the stump of the legs
healed sufficiently to permit the wearing
of artificial feet, was appointed to a
clerkship in the war department, and
boarded in the house next door to that
in which President Lincoln died.

Mr.. Newman certainly had very
tough time with the grip, and it is no
wonder that he thinks that the remedy
that cured him can't be beat. His case
shows how profoundly grip poisons the
system and how obstinately it resists all
ordinary efforts to eradicate it.
Few cases can be worse than Mr.. New

ach troubles combined with great weak

continually and was filed with kissing
and roaring sounds. My heart futtered
and had regular running-away spells.
My stomach was so sore that could
hardly bear touch on that part of my
body. 1 had great deal of pain in the
region Of my liver and the doctor said
that organ was enlarged. Ny kidneys
ached SO at times that could hardly
stand"
Didn't you give up and go to bed?"
ne was asked.
"No, 1 simply wouldn't. Ny head
and my back ached dreadfully, but
obstinately dragged myself about, kept
growing worse and finally ran down to
almost nothing"
What did you do to get relief?"
First tried doctor, but he did me
no good. Then took all kinds of ad-
vertised preparations but nothing proved
helpful until 1 began to use DIR. Williams
Pink Pills. AS soon as got them I
knew that had at last hit the right
remedy for my case. The very first box
did more for me than anything else I
had ever taken. They gave me relief
right away and in three months they
positively cured me. I think was
scarcely ever in better health in my life
than l am at present"
Mr.. William A. Newman is we'll

Ways of the MulIet.

Mullet, the food fish which the larger
portion of the game fish live upon and
which they follow about, are found In
enormous schools in the ocean. A small
section-say $4,000 or 5O,OOO-will find
their way in the lake looking for food,
and corresponding section of the at
tendant school of bluefsh will follow
them. When these fish once get in the
gill nets trollers can make no apprecia-

that effect in the last congress, and in
talking on the subject the other day, in
dicated that he would press the meas
ure in the future. In discussing the ad-
vantage of true craftsmanship in time
of war, Col. Hull said:
I'm estimating the military efficiency
of soldier in battle, if we consider ten
points as standard of perfection at
least S1a of these points are skill in rifle
and revolver shooting. In the Santiago
campaign the Spaniards were protected
by rifle pits with the ground in front of
them cleared in some instances for
quarters of mile over which our
troops were Obliged to move in attack.
At that time our regular army was per-
haps the finest body of expert rifiemen
in the world, due to the great care and
amount of work that had been devoted
to target practice. The Spanish troops
had received little or no instruction in
target practice, and were poor shots
Our troops marched over these open
places, captured their rifle pits and sus-
tanned dcomparativelyfew few casualties. Had
our men been behind the enemy's rifle
pits we could have killed at least ten
times our number out of any troops at
tacking them, as they did the Span
iards. In the war in the far east, the
Japanese have attacked fortified places
and carried them because they have
been instructed in target practice while
the Russians up to the present have
given little attention to the individual
instruction of their soldiers in this duty.
There is no way by which rife can be
accurately shot without the individual
training of the man who aims it and
pulls the trigger"

NOT A MERE KING" "
VICTOR EMMANUEL OF ITALY
is A HARD WORKER.
One Ambition of Ruler Is to Raise the
Agricultural Conditions of His
Country-Is Trying to Cut
Down Expenses.

Paris.-All honor to King Victor EN-
manuel of Italy, who, without trying to
appear as strenuous as his imperial
cousin in Germany, has shown himself
endowed with most fertile brain. Like
the kaiser, he objects to being mere
figurehead on the thrSne, and many
schemes carried out by the Italian gov
ernment have emanated direct from
him.
He is responsible for the purchase Of
Italian railroads by the state, the Latin
ization of Mediterranean commerce,
and his latest plan-that of creating an
international agricultural parliament,
the idea of which was suggested by an
American-may prove greatly bene-
fetal to Italy During the last 80 years
agriculture in Italy has been in decad-
ence. The country, naturally fertile,
has become the poorest in all Europe,
and produces proportionately less grain
than any other European country, with
the exception of Switzerland. where
geological conditions stand in the way.
While the production of grain in
France, Germany, Belgium and England
is rapidly increasing, it is decreasing in
Italy. Even in Lombardy-the most
fertile province of the kingdom-it falls
far below that of 1874, and the produc-
tion of corn and all sorts of vegetables
is also decreasing. The king hopes that
the agricultural institute planned will
do for agriculture what an academy
does for the language. He intends to
educate the people, to show where the
evil lies, and suggest means to eradicate

commissioner comes as shock to O
large number of the old clerks, who
thought they had an easy mark in the
congressman. They had chafed under
the discipline of former Commissioner
Ware, and the latter was criticised and
kept in hot water continually because
he, too, believed the clerks should do
more work for the government than
they had been doing for good, round sal
aries. Commissioner Warner, it was
thought, would be complacent gentle
man, who would allow the Office to run
itself, but the force has been rudely
awakened from their day dream.
The first drastic action the commits
sioner took was to dismiss ten members
of the board of review, all of whom were
old soldiers and old clerks drawing the
largest salaries paid in clerical posi-
tions. His attention was called to the
slipshod methods of work they had been
following, when it appeared that they
had allowed pensions to several mem
bers of Pennsylvania regiment which
had been raised for the three months
service in 1861, but which had never

ulations were against this allowance,
and former administrations had passed
adversely upon the claims of these ap-
plicants. The offense was so glaring
that the commissioner could not con-
done it, and they were dismissed.
Then 1t began to dawn on the clerical
force that Mr.. Warner, although very
easy-going in manner and appearance,
had been keeping his eyes open since
taking office. He was not long in learn
ing that combination was in effect
among the pension clerks by which work
was retarded, so as to make it appear
that the large force in the bureau
was absolutely necessary. The COM
missioner believes that he could dis
pense with about 500 clerks if the bal
ance would put in fair days work at
their desks.

Do one thing at a time.
Be larger than your task,
Prepare for it thoroughly.
Make it a means of character-building

artisan.
Make it stepping stone to something

self-the weaker part.
Keep yourself in condition to do it as
well as it can be done.
Regard yourself as a coworker with
the creator OF the universe.
Believe in its worth and dignity, no
matter how humble it may be.
Recognize that work is the thing that
dignifies and ennobles life.
Accent the disagreeable part of it as
cheeF1uuy as the agreeable.
Choose, if it is possible, the vocation
for which nature has fitted you
h1, f,,tN In,
stead of how much you can take out
of it.
Remember that it is only through your
work that you can grow to your full

mate the weak ones.
Remember that every vocation has
some advantages and disadvantages not
found in any other.
Regard it as sacred task given you
to make you better citizen, and to help
the world along.
Remember that every neglected or
poorly done piece Of work stamps itself
ineffaceably on your character.
Write it indelibly in your heart that
1t is better to be a successful cobbler
than a botched physician or a briet1ess
barrister.
Refuse to be discouraged if the stand
ard you have reached does not satisfy
you; that is proof that you are an art
ist, not an artisan.
Educate yourself in other directions
than the line of your work, so that you
will be broader more liberal, more
intelligent worker
Regard it not merely as a means OF
making a living, but first of all as a
means of making life-a larger nobler
specimen of manhood.-Success.
