UNIQUE DISTINCTION.
Courts Of Usage County Without
Criminal Business.


Guthrie. Okla. Nov. 16.-When the
new state courts get down TO bust.
ness there will be enc county, Usage.
where both the county and district
courts will have the unique distinc-
tion of having no original business
at all. All of the civil business aris-
ing in the county will OF course be
disposed OF by those courts, but all
criminal matters must still be handled
by the federal courts. fer the reason
that the entire county composes an
Indian reservation. This condition of
affairs will continue until the allot-
ment of the Usage lands, now well
under way, is completed.
1t will apply to cases arising in the
future as well as those now pending
the prosecution of Mike White, Shor-
ty Green and Red Williams, indicted
by grand jury at Pawnee for com.
plicity in the lynching Of Frank Bal.
ley. a negro, at Usage Junction in
July last, must therefore be carried
on in the federal courts. This will
greatly increase the business of the
federal court here, as the Usage coun.
ty cases will presumably be tried in
Guthrie. Court terms in the western
district are to be held at Guthrie,
Enid, Oklahoma City and Lawton. and
Guthrie is the most convenient 10
the Usage country.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that is by constitution
remedies. Deafness Is caused by an
inilamed condition OF the mucous lin
ing OF the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube Is intamed you have q
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing
and when 1t Is entirely closed. Deaf
ness Is the result. and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored TO its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed Cor
ever; nine cases out OF ten are
caused by Catarrh. which is nothing
but an infamed condition OF the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused BY
catarrh) that cannot be cured by

COAL DEALERS COMPLAINTS.
indian Territory Operators Charge
Outrageous Price.

Oklahoma City, Nov. l6.-Oklahoma
City coal dealers are preparing to
buy all their coal from Missouri
mines unless the Indian Territory
operators lower their prices. One OF
the largest coal dealers in the city
said today that the Indian Territory
operators charged Oklahoma City
dealers s. per ton for coal at the
mines. They pay sl.35 per ton freight
and when the coal ia finally landed
to the consumer the dpalcr charges
enough to make q profit of 81 per
ton.
we can get coal from Missouri
laid down here and delivered to the
consumer for Sc per ton.' said the
local dealer. This Is getting good coal
to the consumer 35 cents cheaper
than the dealers can buy IL from
the operators at McAlester. only 100
miles away. while the Missouri coal
must come at least 400 miles. Twenty
three cars OF Missouri coal were de.
livered to the dealers here today and
more has been ordered.
Repeated attempts have been made
to get cheaper coal from the andian
Territory mines without success. In
terstate commerce hearings have
been held on the matter of freight
rates but no favorable rseG,i has
been announced The railroads a year
ago doid make small cut In the
freight rate on coal. but the price at
the mines went up and the dealer
or consumer got no benefit. IL has
been said that the railroads control
the mines. hence the Significance OF
lowering the freight rate and raising
the price of the product at the source
A coal famine has been predicted in
\ this city this winter. The dealers say
there will be no famine as long as
they can get coal form the Missouri
mines. Apparently on account OF tn,
recent furry in financial circles lo
cal dealers must pay cash on delivery
for all coal they buy from the In
dian Territory mines.

pared with, and corro5crated by those

nal service pattern, which for fifteen
years was IN operation at the Eame
elevation II we adopt the method Of
comparison used by Dr. Moore IN his
rainfall statistics. and divide the thir-
ty-fOur years into ten-year sections,
We have the following results.
The average annual wind run Of the
first ten years (1s75-18S2) was 1885,
05z miles; Of the second ten years
C1sSS-1Ssz) 131,04O miles; OF the
third ten years (1ss2-1902) 1z2, ,O12
miles, OF the last four years (1sO2-
19O6) 10o,212 miles. But as stated IN
regard to the rainfall, it seems to be
more satisfactory method OF cOmpar+
IsOn TO divide the entire period into
two equal parts. By this method we
find the average annual wind run Of
the first seventeen complete years
(1873-1899) to be 134,Ss miles, and
OF the second seventeen years (189C-
1909 119, ,252 miles. This gives an
average reduction OF 1877 miles per
annum for the second half OF our Pc
riOd Of observation as compared with
the first half. Stated in another way,
the average velocity Of the wind for
the first seventeen years was 1884
miles an hour, while for the second
seventeen years It was only thirteen
and sixty-One hundredths miles an
hour, giving a reduction OF nearly u
per cent.
II thus appears that the observa-
tons OF nearly forty years, made con
dnuOusly by, and under the direction
Of, the writer, indicates a gradual
change IN the climate at Lawrence,
Kan And as this locality presents a
typical illustration Of the climatic con-
ditiOns Of eastern Kansas, it is safe to
INFER that the same changes are tax
ing place over the entire region Of
which it forms a part The rainfall
and atmospheric humidity have in
creased, and the wind velocity has de-
creased The change in the rainfall
and wind velocity has been in each
case more than 10 per cent, while the
increase IN the atmospheric humidi-
ty has been more than s per cent And
these results are based not upon the
recOllectiOns Of the Oldest inhabit-
ants" but upon the faithful records
OF actual observations.
