of them, forming lake, which will be
stocked with fish.

China Appoints New Officials to Man
age Customs Service.
Pekin, May 11.--An imperial edict
which may radically affect the status Of
Sir Robert Hart, director general Of the
Chinese customs and the customs estab-
Iishment, was published today, as fol-
lows:
"Tieh Liang, president of the board
Of revenue, is hereby appointed super
intendent Of customs affairs. Tong
shao, junior vice president of the For.
eign board, lie appointed associate min
lister of Customs affairs. All Chinese
and foreigners employed in the various
customs are placed under their control"
Both these offices are new creations
in the customs service. Hitherto the
customs have been nominally under the
direction Of the Foreign board, but
practically Sir Robert Hart has exer.
cised absolute control.
The diplomats here are unwilling to
comment on the edict until its inten-
tions and full force are apparent. II 1t
means a step toward active Chinese
management OF the customs, the foreign
governments are expected to resist 1t.

Salmon in Grand Ronde.

La Grande.-Superintendent Allen, of
the Wallowa salmon hatchery, was in
La Grande recently, and stated that the
hatchery released a few days ago
100000 fry and about the same amount
will be ready to be released within a
short time. Operations at the Wallowa
hatchery 50 far are considered satisfac-
tory. Salmon have commenced jumping
in the Grand Ronde river at Orc Dell, a
mile above La Grande. The salmon,
which in the early history of the valley
came up the river in abundance, have
for the past number of years almost
entirely disappeared. It is now hoped
that the hatchery will be the means of
restocking the river.

 There being no plea of justifi- cation, the court held that these charges were false. The court also held that the other words, stating that which was not true," were libelous per SC.

Walnut Ridge, Jan. 14-The Walnut Ridge and HoXie saloon license case is still hanging fire at Powhatan. In the meantime these towns are dry as bone, the lid being on tight. The tenn perance people presented a petl- tion which upon the face of the returns showed a small majority. Many of the names on that peti- tion were challenged by the sa- loon people and many were erased from the petition. It then de- veloped upon the saloon people to show the exact census in the three-mile circle.
 The list they presented was scrutinized very closely and con tested in every weak point, and it is doubtful if a decision will be reached immediately. The mat ter may go over for two weeks. A great deal of hard feeling has been engendered by the strife and in consequence families have been split in twain.

DIETz VERSUS PASSENGER.
Justice Wood Delivers Opinion of Su- preme Court in Favor of
 Appellant.

Little Rock, Jan. 14-Mr. Jus.
 tice Wood delivered the opinion of the supreme court Saturday ir the case of H. H. Dietz against Jacob Lensinger.
 On reconsideration appellee in- sists that the court erred in di- recting a remittitur for $350 be- cause he insists that appellant took possession of the timber be- fore it was sold under execution and that this timber routed in the woods while in his possession. True there was proof tending to show that appellant had taken possession of the hickory timber before he purchased same at the execution sale, but there is no proof as to when the timber routed. Appellee says the tim Der "rotted in the woods and he lost it all," but this does not show that the timber routed while in appellee's possession or through his negligence. If the timber did not rot before appel lant purchased it appellee suf- fered no damage and could not complain, for he might have pro tected himself at the sale. The broad language that the "timber routed in the woods and he lost it all' is too indefinite. Appel lee to have recovered damage in this account, should have shown that the rotting in the woods took place while appellant was in possession of the timber and on that account it had deterior- ated so that at the time of the sale it was worthless.
 The burden was upon the ap- police. While the $350 directed to be remitted may be somewhat in excess of the proper amount, yet, as there was error in the verdict, we must fix the amount large enough to make sure that the error will be cured by the remittitur. It is optional with the appellee whether he will ac- cept it or take a reversal and submit to new trial. The motion for reconsideration is denied and upon the remittitur beingentered judgment will be affirmed for the residue. @

IA Stitch in Time Saves Nine.'

Slight disorders in the kidneys or uri- nary organs are more serious than most people think. The first warning symp toms should receive prompt medical treatment to ward off Bright's Disease or some other dangerous malady. When the kidneys are ailing and the symptoms become sufficiently pronounced to be noticeable the condition calls at once for prompt measures to stay the progress of the disease. Prickly Ash Bitters is the remedy needed, Taken on the ap- pearance of the first symptoms, such as pain in the back, pufiness under the eyes, irregu1arities.in in the urine, digestive disorders, it will save the victim incal- cu1able misery and suffering, mental torture and expense, Used at the begin ming of the trouble it cures quickly. Used in the more advanced stages it will win back health and strength as rapidly as circumstances will possibly permit.

The lots in the new town of Kinta, 1. T., are selling faster than any new town opened since the days of Enid, Pond Creek, Ponca and a few others.
 Many people claim, who really are in close touch with the new town and surround ings, that Kinta will be a city of from 2,000 to 5000 in two years or less.
 What would that mean to you should you own one of these lots that are centrally located, as all that l am of- fering are?
 It would mean probably 1,O00% to you on the in- vestment. Kinta has fine agricultural lands, great coal, gas and oil deposits. Why shouldn't it be a great place? If you have not bought, do so now.
