ed that Bird McGuire of the First Ok lahoma district was the member of the house involved.
 The ex-senators brought into the matter are Chester l. Long of Kansas and John NJ. Thurston, Nebraska.
 MT. Gore says the senator involved Is a member of the committee on h. dian affairs and tue congressman a member of the corresponding commit tee in the house.
 The syndicate formed to purchase the coal and oil lands of the Indians, MT. Gore said, was composed of J. Frank McMurray, Cecil Lyon, ex-Sen- ator John M. Thurston of Nebraska. ex-Senator Chester l. Long of Kansas and Dick Adams of this city. The price to be paid was $3O,O00,O00. The lands, he said, are worth all the way from $30O0O,0OO to $50,O0O.000.
 J. Frank McMurray obtained a con- tract with the Choctaw and the Chick asaw nations to sell their coal and oil lands and was to receive 10 per cent of the proceeds. President Roosevelt and Secretary Garfield refused to ap- prove this contract on the ground that the fee was excessive. MT. McMurray then sent out hundreds of agents, and they personally obtained individual contracts from more than 10000 In- dians.
 Senator Gore introduced a resolution to investigate the scandal. 1t was fav- Orably reported and referred to the committee on contingent expenses.
 The senate, shocked by the startling charges, lost no time in allowing the blind senator to frame an amendment covering these contracts in practically his own language. This amendment was promptly adopted by the senate and the house, and now it will be i'm possible for the law firm to obtain its enormous fee in the event of the sale of the Indian coal lands without the contracts first being approved by con- gross.

 BLIND SENATOR,

 plains of Insulting Offer.

John P. Gore, the blind senator from Oklahoma, startled the senate by de. claring that $25,OOO, with the sugges. tion of an increase to $50,OOO, had been offered to him.
 He charged that in the event of ia vorable legislation by congress fee of $3,O00,00O is to be paid to J. Frank McMurray and his associates by the Choctaw and Chickasaw Indians of Oklahoma for effecting the sale of their coal and oil lands to syndicate for $3O,OOO,OOO, that one United States senator and enc representative in the house are interested in this great fee and that one senator and one repre- sentative have been approached on be- half of those concerned and offered large bribes to prevent objectionable legislation.

EXPORTS BREAK
 PREVIOUS RECORDS.
Estimates For the Past Twelve
 Months S77O,OOO,O 900.

Exports of American manufactures in May were larger than i'll any earlier month in the history of our export trade and for the full fiscal year 1910 will be larger than in any earlier fiscal year. The total value of manufactures exported in the month of May was $71, ,O00,0OO, including in this term both manufactures ready for consumption and manufactures for future use in manufacturing, and for the eleven months ending with May amounted to S699 100000. indicating that June, the twelfth month of the year, will cer- tainly bring the record for the fiscal year 1910 above that of any of its predecessors. The total value of manu- factures exported in the full hsCal year 1907 was $74OO0O.000; in 1908. $75O,- OOO,0OO; in 1909, SG71,O00,0OO, and for the fiscal year 1910 seems likely to ma terially exceed the high record of 1908. Should the June exports of manufac- lures equal those of May, for which the figures are just at hand, the total for the fiscal year 1910 would amount to $77O,0OO,o0O.

A Little Good Paint in

When your buildings need painting, avery days delay costs you money. The suu, rain, snow and frost are getting ln their work. Lumber costs too much to let it decay for want of a little paint. It costs less to use good paint than to 20 without it. We use nothing but good paint and artists with the brush on all our work. We guarantee first class and durable job, prices reasonable. Don't put it off, let us figure with you on all Painting, Papering. Signs, etc.

The centillty Of Baseball

I have seen q quiet little Sunday after
noon game in which every man on either
side told every man on his own and the
other side just what he thought of his
character. One captain, says Ellis Parker
Butler, In Success Magazine, began by
telling his pitcher what he thought OF
him, and ordered him off the field, and
the pitcher remarked that If he had a
catcher who knew how to catch ball
once every week or so he would be able
to use some speed. This seemed to dis
please the catcher, and he remarked In
no gentle tone about the pitchers gem
eral ability and the shortsightedness of a
captain who would have such a man on
his team. This gave pleasure OF he OPP
posing nine. and they showed 1t by ap-
propriately guying remarks, and were
taken to task by the nine men of the
other side. The 200 spectators who gath
cred to see the ball game then told both
mines what they thought of them. and
were given to understand that not man
on either nine care faded fig for. An
hour later the umpire went home. or in
the direction of home. but the two cap
tains were still discharging their men.
I have seen one stout catcher discharged
eight times in one seven-inning game,
during which period he resigned four
times of his own accord.

The system

From the Youths Companion.
!, Tile man who had been married 20
years had the. calm expression of one
lifted above the ordinary troubles of
life as he listened to the plant of his
nephew, John. She's been home with
her folks more'n two weeks now John
complained. I'VE haven't been married
but two years, and this is the third visit
she's made. I'm willing to have her
go, but l want she should come home
at the end of fortnight. But II 1
write and beg her to hurry, she'll more
likely stay a few days longer yet, just
to show her independence"
| MINI Did you ever know your Aunt
Mary to stay away lonsern we expected
whilst you lived with us?" asked his
uncle.
NO" said John "she usually came
home day sooner than she'd promised,
l remember
MINI! said his uncle. Just SO.
WE'LL that was the result of my sys-
tenn. She's never known 1t. but I'll tell
you, as you seem to be in straits.
-Four or five days before time for her
to come home I'd send a kind of test
piece to her. Sometimes 'twoud be a
remark asking her II she'd heard the
news about one or another. Sometimes
twoud be the news column. chopped
off right in the most interesting place.
| sometimes Id REFER TO letter Id had
and not say what twas about. There's
a lot of such things coming handy when
you look for 'en.
''Well, soon as she could get re-
turn mail to me she'd ask about the
thing. and tell me to be sure and write
more particulars next day. And some
way or other next day was always so
busy I'd just have time for note, or
maybe postal, saying. All we'll. No
news and next day l wouldn't have
time to write even that much
Twas always the day after that she
came home; yes, sir, the morning of
the day after.
Now there's a chance for variety in
| my system. You've got to study the
subject of the experiment, so 10 speak,
an adapt the system, but you'll find

you've got is different from any l ever
