Chief ROGERS Opposed,

Tallequah, T. T.: The political OPP.
ponents of W. C. Rogers. Cherokee Ma
ton, organized a rump council yester.
day and notified him that they were
ready to do business. This action re-
suited from Chief Rogers refusal to
call an election last summer for new
members of his council on the ground
that the council would go out of exist
ence when the tribal government is dis
solved at an early date for all time.
Rogers opponents assert that he re-
fused to call the election because it
was doubtful if the ROBBERS men would
be elected. Chief Rogers has the adj
vantage, as no bill can become a law
without his signature.

LEARNED LESSON TOO READILY
Young Doctor Was One of Those Who
Profited by Advice.

When the old doctor met the young
physician who used to be his assistant
he inquired how he was prospecting.
The young man poured out tale of
woe, and said he had very few patients
and they never paid their bills.
Whereupon the old man told him to
cheer up and all would come out right
in the end.
And by all means cautioned the
veteran medico, do not be so candid
with every one as you have been to
me about your lack of success. Re
member that the recording angel
keeps a large sponge with which to
wipe out the white lies young doctors
employ in telling the laity about the
large practices they enjoy"
A few weeks later't the old man again
met the young physiciaa and asked
him how he was getting along. The
young doctor at once began to rattle
off q list of cases he was treating
which far exceeded that under the
care of half a dozen medical men who
had been in the business for many
years. The old man listened patiently
until the young doctor subsidized, when
he remarked:
But l didn't tell you to lie to me"

LOUISIANA NEWS.
Compromise in Rice Tariff Case.

compromise III NICE arm SoSS'
Baton Rouge: There is a rumor here
! to the effect that a tentative agree
ment. looking to a compromise of the
case which has been pending in the
district courts for the past year be-
tween the railroad commission of Lou
isiana and the Morgan's Louisiana and
Texas Railroad and Steamship Co. ct
ais, in regard to the tariff on rice and
rice products to New Orleans. This
case originally came before the COM
mission at the December meeting in
1904. In the following May the COM
mission compiled and ordered put into
effect a tariff which was considerable
reduction on former rates. Before this
tariff became effective, however, the
railroads took the matter TO the courts,
where it has since remained.
From the best information obtanable
the compromise which is proposed will
come within about two cents per 100
pounds of being as low a rate as that
ordered by the commissions tariff. and
will provide for a refund Of the differ
ence between the rates charged and the
compromised rate on all shipments of
rice and rice products made since the
tariff ordered was to have become eff
fective. 1t is said there are a few
minor details to be arranged before
the case will be formally dismissed
from the courts.
