Lebaron today shot and killed his
wife, whom he married in February,

LIFTS LAND BAN

IN OKLAHOMA.
supporters Are willing Ia Grant
Freedmen Protection IL Life is
Threatened.

Washington, April 24.-By vote
of 249 to 0, the house passed the
Mcclure bill, which opens up 5000
600 acres of land. or 10000 farms.
to white settlement in eastern Okla
homa. 1t now goes TO the senate for
action. The same bill practically has
been before the senate committee on
Indian AFFAIRS, and has been agreed
to with few slight amendments.
The chief difference Is that the house
bill protects the freedmen, while the
senate bill protects the freedmen's
homesteads along with all other
homesteads.
The senate will no doubt insist on
protecting the freedmen's home
steads, and rather than lose the legis-
lation the Oklahoma delegation will
in due time ask the house to yield
on that point. Senator owen will
Iendeavor to have all. homesteads cut
down to forty acres, in accordance
with an agreement of President
Roosevelt, but the senate may not
accept the amendment.
When the bill was called up fol
consideration in the house Represen,
tative Mcclure explained fits princi
pal features and told what the legis
lation would do In opening Oklahoma
to white settlement. Speeches wer,
also made by Messrs. Ferris and Car.

sissippi, and Chairman Sherman, o

Science.

This is an age of progress In the
world of medicine as well as In arts
and science. This is demonstrated
by the remarkable discovery after
years of research by two eminent
French chemists of the process by
which the curative, medicinal ele-
ments of the Gods liver may be sep
arted from the oil, thus getting rid
of that nauseating part of this vaiu-
able remedy.
In vinol modern science has given
to the world a most delicious cod
liver preparation without oil male by
a scientific. extractlve and coneen-
tfating process from fresh Gods
livers, combining with peptonate-of-
iron all the medicinal. healing. body
building elements of cod liver OIL
but no oil.
As body builder and strength
creator for old people. delicate chill

Rnd with nerves on edge through

not to hurt their feelings; an effort
not crowned with any compromising
sense of success. There had been the
difficulty of persuading her to leave
her dead father, who lay upstairs on
his bed, with wonderful smile upon
his thin face. She was convinced that
this smile held special meaning for
her, being eloquent Of encouragement,
Of resignation, and of rest. 1t express

conviction that their own days were
numbered thrilled them to the inmost
core. Each, on leaving the room, al
lowed a faint sigh of relief to escape
from his or her lips, and each-al-
though not one would nave admitted ii

had been taken first And this seem
ed eminently fitting, because the dear
man had never really been part and
parcel of his parish. Always they had
regarded him as an alien, almost an
interloper, for everybody knew that
for four successive generations Hern

it had been different. But after heI
