NO GAMBLING IN OKLAHOMA.

Thrifty Eastern Farmers Have Driv-
en- Out the Men Who Once Ran 1t.
To-day there are not five towns in
Oklahoma of any importance where
gambling Is conducted openly, as 1t was
six years ago, says the Kansas City
Star. As late as three years ago the
biggest games ever seen in the terri
tory were running in Oklahoma City,
though confined to upper floors or base
ments. During the last two months all
the boss gamblers in Oklahoma City
upon whom the law could lay its hands
have been put in Jail and kept there.
They had violated injunctions prohibit
Ing them from using certain buildings
for gambling purposes. Guthrie has
been without Its big games for more
than a year.
The change is due to activity among
religious organizations, a public senti-
ment that rests upon practical as well
as moral grounds and the displace-
ment Of certain adventurous pioneer
citizens by more conservative men -
women from older communities. The
explanation of an old-time boss gam
bier, a man who came to Oklahoma at
the opening, may not be without In.
terest. He said:
I'm my town In earlier years, when
gambling was under full Roadway, the
.producers' were mostly farmers. These
farmers were western men, who had
been with the vanguard Of western SEN

hesitancy in gambling than they had

without danger Of raids. In many In
stances he went home broke.
The agricultural prosperity In Okla
homa In the last ten years brought Z
great advance In the value Of farm
property. Farmers from eastern and
northern states began coming to Okla
homa with bank accounts. The original
settler was offered $1,000. 5000 and

Intestinal 4n01Yost1OAs
It was formerly thought that the
stomach was the main organ Of diges-
ton, and dyspepsia was supposed al.
ways to have Its seat there. But this
question has been much studied Of late,
with the result that the stomach has
been found to be Of little account, COM
paratively, In the preparation Of the
food for absorption. The most import.
ant part Of digestion occurs In the up
per part Of the intestine, where the
food, after leaving the stomach, u
churned and mixed thoroughly with the
bile and pancreatic secretion.
Since, then, the intestine takes such
an important part in digestion, 1t 10
natural to suppose that failure to per.
form this function properly would give
rise to serious disturbances Of health,
and such, In fact, 10 the case.
Intestinal indigestion Is a not un-
common affection at all periods Of life,
and is especially prevalent in children.
The chief symptoms are flatulence, or
wind, more or less collie, diarrhHa, or
more often constipation, or an alterna-
ton Of the two; and practical stafva'

but this will vary, Of course, according

And milder moons imparadise the night
A land of beauty, virtue, valor, truth,
Time-tutored age and love-exalted youth.

The wealthiest isles, the most enchanting

Touched by remembrance, trembles to that

For in this land Of Heavens peculiar

The heritage of Natures noblest grace,
There is a spot of earth supremely blest-
A dearer, sweeter spot than all the rest
Where man, creations tyrant, casts aside
His sword and scepter, pageantry and

While in his softened looks benignly blend
The sire, the son, the husband, brother,

Here woman reigns; the mother, daugh-

Strew with fresh flowers the narrow way
of life;
In the clear heaven of her delightful eye
An angel guard of love and graces lie;
Around her knees domestic duties meet
And Preside pleasures gambol at her feet.

Beneath the heaven Of. thine.

Familiar watch DER men,
When coarser souls are wrapped In

There is an hour when holy dreams
Through slumber fairest glide;
And in that mystic hour it seems
Thou shouldst be by my side.
Ny thoughts of thee too sacred are
For daylight's common beam;

When stars are in the quiet skies,
Then most I pine for thee;

CONTROVERSY ENDS
JAPANESE SCHOOL QUESTION IS
PRACTICALLY SETTLED.
San Franciscans Agree to Abolish
Oriental Schools in Return for
Passage Of Immigration Bill By
Present Congress-Southern
Senators Object.

w asnlngCOn, req. l0.-Ino san
Francisco controversy growing out Of
the segregation Of the japanese school
children in that city has been settled.
The basis Of the agreement reached
yesterday is that Mayor Schmitz and
the members Of the school board will,
Immediately after the passage of the
immigration bill as reported by the
conferees in congress-, abolish Oriental
schools and again admit Japanese
children into the white schools.
The president and Secretary Root
assured the Californians that If the
bill is not passed at this session an
extra session will be called Immediate
~ after adjournment on March 4.
South Opposes Measure
An agreement to vote today on the
conference report on the immigration
bill, which includes the provision in
tended to settle the California Japan
csc question was reached in the senate
yesterday as the result Of an entire
day of discussion upon that measure.
The principal speakers were Senators
Bacon and Tillmsn in opposition to
what they regarded as an effort to pre-
vent the South from getting a dosir-
atle class of immigrants. Sen
Tillman's remarks on the Japanese
situation brought warning from
Senator Lodge that if continued he
should move that the discussion pro-
coed behind closed doors. Intrena-
tional references were not made after
ward by Senator Tillman.
Senator Gallinger expressed surprise
that the conferees should contend
that they had not injected ''new' mat
ter into the conference report and
Senator Carter said he should vote
against it solely on that ground and
predicted it's defeat.
Predicts Extra Session
Senator Lodge made free predictions
of special session of congress in case
of the failure of the immigration leg
islation.
Senators Bacon and Tillman were
even more determined yesterday than
they we're the previous day in their
opposition to the bill on account Of
the provision which would prevent
state associations of any kind from aid
ing in securing immigration to their
states It is understood that they are
supported by number of Democratic
senators from Southern states. On
the other hand the Republican advo-
Gates of the conference report say it is
impossible for them to yield this
point.
Speaking after the session, Senator
Lodge said it was impossible to &C.
cept the Democratic contention.
''What the outcome may be at this
time l cannot foresee," he said, 'but
if the report is defeated it looks to
me as if an extra session Of congress
would be necessary, for it is absolute
~ necessary that something should be
done to settle the Japanese question.
