MAKING CHANGES.
The Oklahoma Convention is Freeing
Proposed Constitution of Its
Most Radical Provisions.

Guthrie, Oklahoma, = Fourteen i'm
portant changes in the constitution
for the proposed state of Oklahoma
were made by the convention Thurs
morning. The most important
modifies the initiation and referendum
provision by eliminating the section
allowing the governor to take means
to put into effect any law in the
event of the legislatures refu-al to
act upon it. Another vital chan6
eliminates the plank forbidding for
cign corporations to appeal from the
decisions of state courts. Another
amendment gives home railroads the
right to merge. but denies the pre-
rcgatiye TO foreign corporations.
Other alterations affect the appropTi-
alton. habeas corpus provision court
power of contempt, religious utter
ance suffrage and board of agricul-
ture.

Another Brewery Gives Up.

Topeka, Kansas. = The Anheuser-
Busch Brewing association will give
up the fight against the attorney gen
eral and the supreme court and will
move from Kansas at once. Such was
the announcement made by the attOr-
neys for the company. The attorneys
asked the supreme court for a COM
plete list of costs and fees thus far in
the case and it is believed that as
soon as this bill is completed the COM
pany will pay the bill and then sell
its property as quickly as possible.
This action means that the company
will not appeal the custer suit to the
supreme court of the United States.

National Educational Association
Closed Meeting at lbs angeles.
Resolution impressed on Teachers
That Character Building Was
Real Work of Schools.

Los Angeles, Calf The National
Education association concluded its
Iabors Friday with the adoption of a
les of resolutions principal among
which was one presented TO the con-
vention by Col. Alexander Hogg, for
mer superintendent of schools at Fort
Worth. Tex. 1t reads:
Resolved, That it is the sense Of
this association that it is the duty Of
teachers of this republic to at once
enter upon a systematic course of in
structions which will embrace not
only broader patriotism, but more
extended course of moral instruction
especially in regard to the rights and
duties of citizenship, the rights of
property, the security and sacredness
of human life"
Second in importance TO this reSo-
luton was one upon the subject of
simplified spelling indorsing the work
of the simplified spelling board and
directing the secretary of the associa-
ton to adopt the shorter style of all
of the 800 selected words in the pub
locations of the association. 1t carried
by vote of 200 to %, although it was
claimed that many other than active
members voted in the affirmative.
The resolutions further indorsed
the efforts being made to increase the
salaries of teachers, favored harmo-
nizing of the child labor and truancy
laws and urged the state to provide
for the education of every child; i'm
pressed upon educators that the build
ing of character was the real aim of
the schools and deplored the tendency
among children toward the disregard
for constituted authority and lack of
respect for age and superior wisdom !;
urged abolishment of secret societies,
fraternities and sororities il schools,
denouncing them as inimical to the
interests of schools and pupils, de-
clared for the merit system and re
solved strongly in favor CT world
peace and international arbitration.

MAN IN WESTERN CANADA.
Three Years Ago Worth Only $4,000;
To-Day Is Worth $4,000.

The following is. a cory of a letter,
Of which the Agents of the Canadian
Government throughout the United
States receive similar ones many
times during the year:
Cayley, Alta, Dec. z, 1906.
Agent Canadian Government,
Waterfowl, S. D.
Dear Sir:
Your letter dated Nov. 9th at hand
and was very glad to hear from you.
see that you are still at work per-
, suading people to move into the Cana
dian Northwest. I must tell you that
owe you many thanks for persuading
me to come out here, am only sorry
that I wasn't persuaded sooner, and
there is still plenty of good chances
time. hope that you viii be able to
induce more to make start out to
this part of the country.
Now 1 must tell you what have
accomplished since I came out here
and it won't be three years till the 1st
of July. l shall shortly receive my
patent for my homestead, the home
stead cost me $1,000 in all, to-day it is
worth $4,000 per acre, but it is not for
sale. Then a year ago last May l
bought 800 acres at $500 per acre and
sold this fall for $1,000 per acre and
cleared a profit of $4,16O.00. How is
that for the Northwest? 1 now have
800 acres of land and all paid for. Is
head of horses, 80 head of cattle, %
pigs, sheep and about $50 chickens
and other poultry, and all new ma
chinery and everything is paid for.
We also bought lots in Calgary and
Z in High River. We gave S470 for
the Is lots and they are paid for. At
present I consider myself worth $13,-
10000, and when left Wisconsin less
than three years ago I had about
100000. This year 1 threshed little
over 1000 bushels of grain, have
about one thousand bushels of fine
potatoes and about five hundred bush
els of turnips. Mrs. Beisiegel sold
about 5000 worth of garden truck and
poultry this fall. Now there are lots
of others in this community who die
as well as I did in the same length OF
time.
The family and myself are all well
| at this writing and hope this letter
will find you the same.
Yours very truly,
(Signed) PHILIP BEISIEGEL,

state Rates Not Sacred.

Washington.-In an opinion hand
ed down Thursday for the interstate

that while a rate fixed by state
statutes or a state commission lis
naturally and properly entitled to re-
spectful consideration, it has no
greater sanctity as applied to inter
state traffic, than a rate established
by railroad company; and this COM
mission would not hesitate upon
proper evidence that rate so estab.
Used would be unjust either to a
carrier or to a shipper. to refuse it as
a basis for fixing an interstate rate.

scALY ERUPTION ON BODY.
Doctors and Remedies FruitIess-Suf.
fered 10 Years = Completely
Cured by Cuticura.

Small sores appeared on each of
my lower limbs and shortly afterwards
they became so sore that l could
scarcely walk. The sores began to
heal, but small scaly eruptions ap-
peared. The itching was so severe
that would scratch the sores until the
blood began to flow. After 1 suffered
thus about ten years made renewed
effort to effect a cure. The eruptions
by this time had appeared on every
part of my body except my face and
hands. The best doctor in my native
county and many remedies gave no
relief. All this was fruitless. Finally
my hair began to fall out and 1 was
rapidly becoming bald. A few months
after, having used almost everything
else, l thought 1 would try ~Cuticura
Ointment and Cuticura Soap. After
using three boxes 1 was completely
cured, and my hair was restored, after
fourteen years of suffering and an ex-
penditure of at least. $50 or $50 in vain
ly endeavoring to find cure. B.

May Send Another Shamrock.

London, Eng. = 1t is probable,
although Sir Thomas Upton will not
admit it, that the New York yacht
club will receive a challenge for the
Americas cup for 1908. The time for
challenging does not expire until Oc-
tober and it is not likely that the
challenge will be sent until the last
moment. Friends of Sir Thomas say
he is most anxious to make another
try and that unless something unfore-
seen happens another Shamrock will
cross the Atlantic next year.
