Attorney General Lyon and those
associated with him in graft hunt

States court had the dispensary
commission tied up. The following
copied from the Columbia State is /.
sample of what is being brought to
Hight by the commission and the
states attorneys: 3
| In the days of the late departed
State dispensary, SenatorB. r. Till
man alleged in a public meeting at
Batesburg that John Bell Towill,
resident of that town and a member
of the State board of directors, had
received beautiful Kentucky horse
from liquor house. This would
have been very, very naughty, it was
declared, for Mr.. Towill was mem
Der of the board to make purchases
of about $2,5OO,OOO worth of liquor
every year.
But Mr.. Towill denied the alIega-
tion in toto and later presented an,
affidavit, incorporating therein re-
ceiptfor $275 from, M. E. Rutland
of Batesburg, showing that Towill
had bought the horse.
Now it appears that in garnering
in confessions, orroborative evil
dence, etc., ETC., Messrs. Lyon and
Fielder recently learned the true his
tory of that horse. They were in
Lexington, Ky., last week and con-
irmed what they had heard.
Yesterday this matter was yentil-
ated as an opener, it lis said, for
much other matter of the same
kind. z.
Mr.. M. E. Rutland, the man from
whom Towill got the horse, was
put on the witness stand yesterday.
he declared that the first he ever
heard of the horse was one day when
Towill told him that a horse was ex-
pected the next day and to keep a
lookout for it. Witness did not re-

alities have entered his personal field
Of consciousness. New inventions,
great achievements, reach him now so
that he thrills with the rest of the
world at their happening. He is living
with his time instead of following it.
And his intelligence has quickened
and mis- convictions have strengthened
as he finds himself abreast with the
world. When rural free delivery was
first agitated, people said: why
the farmer doesn't need it. He seldom
gets any letters and he takes only
weekly papers" For that the farmer
was not to blame. To-day there are
over $1,000 free delivery routes. The
first route was established in 1895 Out
at Turner Post-Ofiice, Ore, there wer,
then just thirteen daily papers taken

some accommodations for the farmer
residents Of the state and for those
citizens in smaller towns who are COM
pelled TO travel many miles TO get
school books which the law says must
be used. Take the town of Lahoma,
FOR instance.
The Oklahoma Book Company with
headquarters at Oklahoma City, which
has a monopoly on the sale of large
portion OF the text books adopted by
Governor Haskell's commission, says
that as the company has several agen-
cies in Garfield county they see no
necessity for one in Lahoina, but il a
Lahoma business man will come to
Oklahoma City, put up cash bond in
a sum OF about twice the value of the
books he is liable to handle, they may
allow him TO sell their books There
is not another agency within twelve
/ miles of Lahoma in any direction and
large amount of school supplies are
sold here every year, yet this company
because Il has monopoly, and knows
the people have to buy their books
would force them to go to Enid or
some other town to- get them. If there
was competition in the book business
this company would be glad to let
some Lahoma business man handle
tie goods on reasonable terms.

The next day lift out the withered
petals, squeeze them free from lard
and add fresh petals. Continue this
for one week, keeping a lid on the
vessel meantime. Keep the lard in a

1t can be filled a. a druggist S for
about fifty cents. In return you will
have almost four times the quantity
of pure cream that you would be able
to buy already prepared. One ounce
of spermaceti; one ounce of white
wax, five ounces of the best imported
almonds. one and One-half ounces of
rOsewater, twenty grains of powdered
boraX. two drops of the oil of rose
Dissolve the bOrax in the rOSewater
Melt wax. Spermaceti in 4 granite
pan placed in a pan of boiling water
on the stove, or in double boiler.
When thoroughly melted pour in the
oil of almond Let remain on the
fire until all flakes caused by pouring
in the cold oil to the warm wax have
disappeared. Add the rose-water,
letting the mixture remain until all
flakes of wax are melted. Now pour
in jar and beat rapidly with a silver
knife. This cream is a wonderfully
good cleansing cream, and should be
applied before and after washing the
face. The face should always be
washed in warm, Soapy water and
then rinsed in warm water until all
soap has been removed.
