A New Discovery.

Nathan B. Williams, a young lawyer of Fayetteville, Ark, in his researches into the history and workings of the United States Post office Department re. gently made the astounding dis covery that according to his in' depreciation of the Constitution of the United States and certain acts of Congress, a very large proportion of the mail matter in this country is being transported in direct violation of the law.
 Section 37S2 of the Revised Statutes of the United States makes it unlawful for any one to establish private express for the carriage of letters or pockets over any post.roads of the Unit ed States or between which the mail is regularly carried, and yet this is precisely what the express companies are doing every day in the year.
 MT. Williams finds that large proportion of the mail other than the first class is now carried by the great express companies in competition with the Post. office department.
 As a result of this surrender by the government of it's preroga- tive, MT. Williams contends that "towns and villages are handi- capped and discriminated against by the express companies, and they so juggle their rates as to get all of the profitable business which would otherwise go by mail, and leave the post. office to carry such only as those to distant and remote places, anG all of this is plainly seen at the expense of the revenues of the

Mild Laxative
 for Baby Free

The child of today is the parent of the future, and whether it grows up healthy and strong, or puny and weak, depends upon the intelligence of its parents, for most children are born into the world healthy, but thousands become future weddings between birth and the age of ten, when the parents are still in greatest control.
 The prime cause of trouble is in the stomach: A baby that is digesting it's food seldom cries and always looks cheer full; the little child whose stomach is good romps and plays and never whines; the growing child learns well at school and Is eager for fun if it's head is clear and its stomach light, and that means if it has no constipation.
 The best and safest way to cure any irregularity of the stomach and bowels in children is by the use of Dr. Caldwelps wonderful in its effect as Mrs. John ". Durham, Apple Creek. O., Mrs. H. l.. Cullam, Plainville, Ind, and numerous others can testify who give 1t to their children with extraordinary results.
 A bottle only costs 50 cents or S1 ac- cording to the size you want, and even one 50-cent bottle will do wonderful amount of good in family. It can be given to any member of the family. in Constipation, sour stomach, indigestion. torpid liver dyspepsia, heartburn, sick headache and similar digestive troubles. It never gripes or strangles. like pills. tablets, salts and powders, which should not be given to children. women or old folks.
 If you have a child or other member of the family who needs, but has never used this grand laxative tonic, send your name and address to the doctor and free trial IT u bottle will be sent to your home. In this way you can find out what 1t will do without personal expense.

views of fpeople who are familiar with those in force in oil fields. In addition to the 10 cents per acre paid down, an annual rem tai of 15 cents per acre shall be paid the land owners until actual development is commenced. In the event of the discovery of oil royalty of 10 per cent of the marketed product is to be paid to the owner of the land. If gas wells are developed a rental is to be paid on each we'll of S150 per year.
 The lease calls for the sole and only purpose of mining for oil and gas, so should anything else be developed, the land owner is the only one benefited.
 The Tribune believes that the land owners will sign just as fast as the leases are presented, and it will soon be up to Payne & Reese to go to sinking a well.
 People of Green Forest should remember that little stubborn ness on the part of a few indiv- duals is what stopped the Drought prospecting here some years ago. By all means let us not suffer this mistake to be made again.

TIT IS NOW UP TO THE LAND OWNERS
Oklahoma Capitalists Put Up the Money to Pay for Leases on 1000 Acres of Land South of Town to be
 PrOspeCted for Oil and Gas

It is now up to the land owners. If active prospecting for oil and gas is not commenced at Green Forest soon it will be because the people owning land between town and the mountain to the south do not lend proper encour- agement. Leases must be had on 2000 acres before the capita lists who are behind the sc heme will begin work.
 The gentlemen who propose to finance the move, however, have come across and deposited the money to pay at the rate of 10 cents an acre for at least 2000 acres, but no cash will be paid over 10 the land owners until the requisite number of acres is se- cured.
 Blank leases and the cash are both now in the hands of w. A. Butt, who is busy getting the necessary acknowledgements, and it is believed that no trouble will be had in secu ring the amount of land desired.
 The leases read in favor of Tom Payne and Arthur B. Reese of Tulsa, Okla, and the contract is very liberal according to the

 More at 2 Cents per Mile
 Little Rock, Oct. 2.-Judge Jacob Trieber of the United States court yesterday granted to the Missouri & North Ark ansas Railroad an injunction against the railrard commission, preventing it's enforcing g. cent rate on the railroad.
 The railroad will today file the $25,000 bond required during the period which will transpire before the hearing on perman- ent injunction is called.
 The issuing of the te mporary order was resisted by Judge J. M. Hill, w. F. Kirby and J. H. Harrod, special counsel for the State, on the grounds the cor poration was not entitled to the relief sought for the extension to the railroad was made after the passage of the 2.cent rate.
 Judge Trieber held that the contracts were made before this time, showing the actual work to have legally commenced be- fore that time.
 w. B. Smith, general attorney for the railroad, presented affidavits from the officials of the road showing the line had lost money under the court tariff for freight and the 2-cent pas- senger rate, and asked for fur ther relief by permission to charge 3.cent passenger rate. Even with this advance the rail- rord officials claim they will sus- tain loss for several years on account of the sparsley populat- ed country through which the railroad passes.
 The railroad officials presented affidavits showing the expenses of the Arkansas portion of the line, taken on a revenue basis, taking for the expenses of oper- ating the Arkansas end of the line the per cent the Arkansas receipts bore to the total receipts of the line, and the attorney for the State attacked this on the grounds the figures were taken from an improper source, and did not throw su Efficient light up- on the case to permit Judge Trieber to act. The Missouri & North Arkansas will put the new rate into effect within the next 10 days.
 Traffic Manager Whitney in his affidavit stated the increase in receipts anticipated for the coming year was S36,000 on pas- senger and S14,000 on freight, with one item of expense more tha n this, showing the road to be losing money.
 Attorney Smith in his brief argument yesterday recited from the different affidavits. He took up the sparsley populated coun- try through which the line oper- ates, saying the people had lived among themselves and were not much in the production of freight, only recently beginning the ship ping of chickens and stock. He said the lumber industry, the most of which was inter state business, with the big end of the freight going to other lines, was all that kept the loss from being greater than it has been. He estimated the loss for 1908 at S8,OOO and 1909 at S17,0o0. He said the railroad should be per- mitted to make it's gains large and losses small for about five years in order to get on it's feet and paying basis. He called attention to the dead track of about "A miles along the Little Red River.
