MAKE GAS OF COAL
 FOUND AT CAMDEN
Machinery Is Being Installed and If the Experiment Is Successful, Larger Plant Will
 Follow.

Camden, Feb. 1.-The new 60-horsepower gas engine ordered for the electric light plant here some time ago arrived today and is being unloaded. The engine is a combination retort and gas engine bought to utilize the lig- mite which abounds in this county. Almost the entire city and sur rounding country is underlaid with this coal, which, according to the government test made by Joseph A. Taft in 1899, is the highest gas-producing coal per ton in the world. The test showed ii, ,386 cubic feet of gas per ton. This machine will mako 1t own gas from the coal, and means quite a saving in the fuel bill each year.
 The light plant IS the property of the Camden Mill Company, one of the largest blaming and sash and door plants in the state, and if the engine proves satis- factory, it is possible the plant will be equipped with this kind of power.

Guthrie, Ok, Feb. 1.-The legisla- ture investigation of public expendi' lures by Gov. Haskell and other state officials was one of the sensations. The governor acted as his own attor- ney.
 Main interest was in the testimony of Orville T. Smith, executive clerk in Gov. Haskell's office and private coun- sel to the governor in regard to S25O warrant paid to him out of the governors emergency fund April 26, 1909. Three days later it was shown by court records Smith was in Ohio taking dispositions for Gov. Haskell in the case wherein Scott McReynolds of Brooklyn, N. Y, attorney for William Randolph Hearst, was demandins s50,000 damages from Haskell foA causing McReynolds arrest in Guthrie when he was hunting evidence for Hearst
 On the stand Smith admitted being in Ohio as above stated but insisted he was using the states money in securing evidence in the states case
 
 against the Indian Territory Illumi- hating Oil and Gas company of New Jersey, tracing it's Standard oil con nections
 It developed later that Smith also drew his salary in full for April as the governors executive clerk. Al though Representative Clark insisted
 fc of hfc Ohio investigation or naming one per sons or company from whom he ob- tained information Smith refused nor could he remember of ever making an itemized accounting of his expend- ing the $250.
 The records of State Auditor Trapp and State Examiner Taylor show Gov. Haskell endorsed the voucher on which Smith drew the s250.

ZIMMERMAN GIVEN
 SEVERE SENTENCE
Judge Rogers Scathingiy Arraigns Convicted Perjurer, Declar- ing He Is Entitled to
 No Mercy.

Fort Smith, Feb. 11.-"The court believes that you deliber- ately set at work to secure an alibi to poison the very founda. ton of justice. You not only perjured yourself but suborned others. l believe you to be the central figure in this affair and these other men were your dupes. You are not entitled to the mercy of the court"
 With this scathing arraign- meut Federal Judge Rogers Thursday sentenced Lon Ammer- man of Sapulpa, Ok, to serve four years in the peniteutiary at hard labor and to pay a fine of $500. Zimmerman was convicted on a charge of perjury.
 George Windle of Ponca City and Sapulpa was given one year and one day in the Federal prison on a like charge. Zimmerman was found guilty by a jury some weeks ago, while Windle pleaded guilty shortly after Am merman was convicted.
 As soon as the sentence was an- nounced, counsel for Zimmerman asked the court 10 fix bond tor the prisoner, as petition would shortly be filed Tn assignment of error iu the Federal Court of Ap- peals, asking for new trial. The counsel suggested that the bond be placed at $4.000, but the court refused to grant bail for any amount less than $5, 900.
 The defendant then furnished bond for this amount. It was signed by residents of Oklahoma. The court declined to approve the bond unless some of the signers resided ia this state. A second bond, bearing the signature of several local business men, was offered and accepted and Ammer- man was released from the federal jail.
 Zimmerman and Windel were members of the gang of seven who, 1t is alleged, attempted to establish an alibl in the federal court last June for Patterson, Thompson and Bell, who were found guilty and sent to the fed eral prison at Leayenworth, Kas., for term of eight years each for robbins the postoffice at Hunting ton. Indictments charging per jury were quashed against Am- merman's father, Jesse, and K. N. Gillian. Teddy Linn and Windle pleaded guilty. Walter Faucet was acquitted, while the remainder have not been tried.
 The court stated 1t believed Zimmerman was the central fig ure in the movement to clear the postoffice robbers who made bis hotel, the Buffalo house at Sa- pulpa, their rendezvous. The court severely criticised the place, stating that the yeggmen spent their ill-gotten gains with the proprietor, and for that reason he shielded them. Judge Rogers re- minded the defendant tbat Eau cett testified he resie ned his posi- ton as clerk at the hotel because of its character and because it was not fit place for Faucett's family.

WHY SALvES FAIL TO CURE
 FC7FMA

Scientists are now agreed that the eczema germs are lodged not in the outer skin or epidermis, but in the inner skin. Hence, a penetrating li- quid Is required, not an outward salve that clogs the pores.
 We recommend to all eczema pa- tients the standard prescription oil of Wintergreen as compounded in liquid form known as D. D. D. prescription. A trial bottle of this D. D. D. Pre- scriptiop, at only p cents, will in stantly relieve the itch. We have sold and recommended this remedy for years, and know of wonderful cures from it's use. We recommend it to our patrons.
