Railroad Rate Hearing Involving the
Great Northern.

!, st. Paul, MINI, July 81 During
the hearing before the state railroad
and warehouse commission on mer-
camille rates in Minnesota, r. l. Har-
rington, vice president Of the Great
Northern railway, made the state
ment that no matter how great the
earnings of the Great Northern rail-
way, james j. Hill had laid down the
rule that the stockholders should not
receive higher dividend than 7 per
cent. Harrington also said that the
improvements were paid for out Of
the surplus until new issue Of stock
became necessary, when the stock was
issued in blocks of $25,000,O00.
Harrington was asked by Commits
sioner Staples what became of the
$25, 100000 realized from the sale Of
stock.
"This goes back into the treasury
to make good the expenditures for inn
provements made from the SURPLUS"
said Harrington, "and to pay loans
which are frequently made for short
time.
"If you use surplus for construc-
ton of new lines" pursued Staples,
"Where do the stockholders get their
money!"
"Stock holders don't get their
money back for their stock" was the
answer "Their money is an invest
ment. They only get interest. James
J. Hill has always made it rule that
no more than seven per cent shall
be paid on stock. The use Of the sur
plus of new lines is simply tenn
porary use Of the assets borrowed, rs
it were, from the surplus until the
stock is later sold.'
"If you were to build 800 miles
of new lines in Minnesota wher would
the money come fromf" asked Sta
Piles.
Eventually from the subscribers
for new stock" was the answer.
Staples gave il as his opinion that
the method testified 10 demonstrated
that profits were too large. Some dis
cussion as to the accumulated sur
plus caused the matter to be looked
up, and il was shown that the Great
Northern now has on hand, surplus
of more than 100000.

dance, none brighter within the shin
ing folds of the flag.
On every democratic tongue through
out the state today hangs the anxious
question, "Can they do itP' From
every republican lip springs the ready
answer; "We can and We will. f" In
oevry democratic camp in the state
tonight stalks the ghost of democratic
defeat, state aud national, creating
Tread which before the campaign is
ever will grcw to dismay and eonsier-
uaticn uncomfortable. In the repub-
lican ranks in Oklahoma as in the ma
tion, marching shoulder to shoulder,
going forth to battle, guided by the
pillar of c,oud by day aud pillar Of
lire by night inspired by the vision Of
republican supremacy, there is conf
dence, determination, ON every hand,
and the shout of republican triumph
on every lip. And why9 Simply and
frankly, because we live in a day
when PRINCIPLES and issues will win
or lose in exart proportion to their
deserving to win or lose. This is a
commercial geenrat,on and that po-
litical party will gain the allegiance
of the people wrich not only in the
past transacted, but in the present
now transacts, and in tn efuture will
continue to transact the peoples bust
ness with greatest economy, dispatch
and thoroughness.

in Scum

Muskogee, July 31-The "Mulligan
Stew" given by the printers yester-
day on the banks of the Arkansas riv-
er, opposite Hyde Park, was bewild-
ering success. There were twenty
eight printers who pushed their faces
into the soup at the delightful dinner
hour. Twenty gallons of stew were
brewed in the shade of the big elm
trees.
Stories were told in after-dinner
speeches that would make Chauncey
Depew keep on living at sanitarium.
Grip" the little three-legged dog
known as the printers mascot, almost
lots his life in the raging Arkansas.
The heroic rescue Of the dog was an
exciting event.
Edwin Deming. delegate to the con-
vention at Colorado Springs, was pres
ent and received three cheers when he
made his appearance at the side Of the
stew pan and received his allowance.

SENATOR DICK, OF OHIO, CON-

Renegade Foraker Is Now Getting His
Roosevelt Ironing Out The
Wrinkles.

Oyster Bay, ~ Y, July 81. Seuat-
or Charles Dick, of Ohio, and Elmer
Cover, secretary of the Republican
National Committee, made a joint pill
grimage to Sycamore Hill today, Pres
ident Roosevelt discussed with them
for two hours the political situation in
Ohio.
Aside from the advantage Of discus
sion, the simple fact that Dick was a
guest of Sycamore Hill and came
away bearing the presidents express
sions of enthusiastic desire for har-
mony and success in the coming con-
gressional campaign, is regarded as
political occurrence which will have
decided weight in the Republican
situation in Ohio. 1t has been said in
Ohio that Senators Foraker and Dick
do not stand for the Roosevelt admin
istration, and this report bids fair to
cause at least degree of trouble. II
has now been "nailed to the mast, "
if these words from Dick have any
meaning.
1t is safe to make prediction hat
President Roosevelt's administration
and the work of congress " = receive
sincere and enthusiastic o..s
in the Ohio Republican platform. SEN
ator Dick has for many years made
the first draft Of the state platform,
and this was one Of the principal top
les of his discussion with the Presi-
dent today.

SULLIVAN RoAsTs BRYAN.
Scores Bryan for Asking that Sulli
van Resign.

Chicago, July 31.--By the publica-
tion today of letter from William
j. Bryan, asking Mr.. Roger Sillivan
to resign as National Democratic com
from Illinois, Sin the in
terests of harmony" and the publica-
ton tonight of Sullivan's answer to
Bryan's letter, a bitter controversy
has been aroused as to Sullivan's fit
ness for the position of national com
mitteemen. Bryan's letter was writ
ten to Judge Owen p. Thompson, Of
Jacksonville, who is directed by Bry-
an to call upon Sullivan and request
his resignation.
Bryan s letter is in part as follows:
"His Sullivan corporate con-
nections would harm the party far
beyond his power to aid organization,
but this could be left for some future
convention to deal with if he were ac-
tually the choice of the Democrats
of Illinois. The fact, however, that he
holds his office by fraud and against
the expressed wishes of majority of
the delegates to the state convention,
makes it impossible for honest Demo-
Gratis to associate with him as a mem
ber of the committee. If he will at
once send his resignation and make
the matter clear to the public, he will
show his desire to help the party and
will do much to restore himself in the
opinion of those who felt outraged by
the last state convention
Sullivan, in replying to Bryan 5
letter, gave out the statement in part
as follows: ~ have seen the letter
purporting to have been written by
Bryan. 1t shows proof that he has
allowed himself to persist in what the
Democratic national convention of
1904 declared was misrepresenta-
ton and libel. II is probable that
he is mistaken again, as he was on
the free silver question, and that he
is willing again, as he was when he
permitted himself to cut such an envi-
able figure as he did in the Bennett
will controversy.
"Bryan saws hold my seat in the
Democratic National Committee by
fraud. That seat came to me by
virtue of vote of 40 to 5 in my favor
1t was one to which the Democratic
National Committee decided was
entitled to. If I hold my seat by
fraud, then Bryan must accuse Senat.
or Tillman, of South 'arolina, Sen.

Not Known II Caused by Reduction In
Pressure or Additional Consumption

Pressure or A0dltlonal ConSumption
Mike Miller of Petrolia, says the
Kansas Natural Gas company will be-
gin pumping gas at Petrolia this week,
says the lola Register. This will be
the first gas that has been pumped
through the Petrolia Pumps. The big
pumps and engines have been tried
out several times, but now, according
to Mr.. Miller, the pumping is to be-
gin as a regular thing. The big pumps
will he run in two shifts, night shift
and day shift.
When the pumps were put in it was
stated that II was unnecessary to
pump gas. as the natural pressure was
sufficient to supply the needs of the
companv's various pire lines. Whether
the gas sunply of the company along
the pipe line at various points has got
TO a point where il is necessary to
pump it in order to get sufficient
pressure. or whether additional con-
sumption has made II necessary, is not
known. At any rate, the pumping will
begin this week.

For the first time, distinct anti-for-

Der of the board of health of the city.

N. North and w. A. Sharp were ap-
pointed on the board The member Of
the board retaining his seat was Mr..
Rhode.
The question was raised as whether
the gas and PLUMBING inspector ap-
pointed by the former council legally
held the position under the present re-
gime, was done away with by the APP
p0intment of the present incumbent,
Mr.. Hounker. to act during the life
of this council. which is according to
law. 1t was the sense of the council
that work should begin under the re-
Gently passed plumbing inspection or
dinance as soon as possible, and fol

pointed William Parkinson, a master
plumber, and DR.. Grosshart, to aci
with the plumbing inspector as an ex'

at the present time.

The Bartlesville Enterprise says
The debt Oklahoma and indian Ter
ritory owe to the republican party
was stated in detail last night by ex-
Delegate Dennis Flynn, in an improm-
tn address delievred from the en-
trance to the Almeda hotel. Conf
derce was expressed by hte speak
er that at the first election "Okla-
hcma would ccme to the border Of In
dan Territory, shake hands with it
and hand in majority of 10000 for
the republican ticket" lie had al
ready prophesied republican major
ity in the Indian Territory division
Of the state of Oklahoma.
Governor Frantz' reception was
wholly informal. In the rotunda of
the Almeda hotel he greeted the hun
dreds of people who pressed around
him and sought introductions. Gov.
Frantz did not make any address
prior to the banquet. His impression
| on his new acquaintances was good.
Following the reception, Attorney
James A. Veasey introduced from an
improvised platform at the entrance
of the hotel Colonel Dick Blue, once
of Kansas, now Of Bartlesville, Okla.
No man in Oklahoma politics is
more popular in Bartlesville than ex-
Delegate Denis Flynn. The oppor-
tunity to hear hfm cmfwyepatoin
tunities to hear him have been all too
limited for Bartlesville people, and
his presence at the open air rally
last night was source OF much graf
ifcation. While there was no single
sentence in his address to which any
republican could properly take ex-
ception, the hearer posted in Okla
homa politics could see in the speech
as a whole evidence that the ex-dele-
gate is not out Of politisc.
What the republican party in con
oress has done for Oklahoma and In
dian Territory was hown in state
ments of the passage Of the "free
homes" bill, the statehood bill and
the donation of $5,000,00O in cash to
the public school fund and $15,OOO,-
900 worth of lands. The efforts to
secure statehood were reviewed, and
Mr.. Flynn said: 81 do not want to be
a hypocrite; | was not an original
single state man. Originally the
effort had been made TO secure state
hood for Oklahoma alone; that fail
ing. efforts were made to secure the
admission of Oklahoma and Indian
Territory together The opposition to
separate statehood arose from the
antagonism of the east, which did not
want to see two more western senat-
ors from the west in congress.
Mr.. Flynn referred complimentary
to the g worthoftalrBcpymtefwvt
to the growth of Bartlesville and its
section Of the country, and recalled
the occasion Of his only former visit
three years ago.
i Governor Frantz said in part, in
opening:
We are not to devise ways ant
means for originating the first solid
republican state south Of Mason ant
Dixon's line. Tonight, united in
comomn faith and with common
scpirit, we sit down together to ban
quet in good fellowship and rejoice
lin the assurance of republican success
in the first state election. Oklahoma

cussion of this question, it was
brought out that under the Curtis bill
the city had the right to force the
sidewalks and paving to be done
across alleyways and assess the char
ges against the property owners, but
that the city had been in the habit in
the past of assuming this cost and to
therefore make the matter uniform, an
ordinance is to be prepared forcing
the city to do this in the future
A motion was passed. authorizing
the city recorder to offer reward Of

NAMED LAMP FOR HUBBY.

A young merchant recently pre- sented to his better half an elabo- rate piano lamp. He was much fiattered when she told him she intended to give it his name, until he asked her reason for such a peculiar proceeding. Well, :" said she, you know, dear, 1t has a good deal of brass about it; it is handsome to look at; requires a good deal of attention; is remark ably brilliant; is liable to explode when half full; is sometimes un- steady upon its legs; flares up oc- casionally; IS always out at bed time and is bound to smoke.
