THE OKLAHOMA CAPITAL FIGHT
CONTEST FOR PERMANENT LoCA-
TON WILL BE SHARP.
Oklahoma City, Guthrie and Shawnee
are Active Candidates for the
Honors.

Guthrie, NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Is
involved in a contest for the perma-
nent location of the state capital. The
election has been called for June IL
by Gov. Haskell, giving the three
candidates entered for capital honors,
Guthrie, Oklahoma City and Shawnee,
a little over two months in which to
make a statewide campaign. Both
Guthrie and Oklahoma City are AL
ready actively engaged In the hght,
having appointed committees, raised
campaign funds and outlined tentative
ly at least the nature of the campaign
they will make. Shawnee, 1t is under
stood, soon will name cammittees and
get into the active fight.
The location is to be made under the
terms of a bill initiated by Oklahoma
City, which embraces some of the
features of the New Jerusalem plan'
providing that the capital site may be
chosen either within the corporate linn
it's of one of the cities entered as
candidates or within five miles or
either city.
If majority of the votes cast at
the election favor the bill the city re-
ceiving a majority or plurality of the
votes cast on the location will become
the permanent capital site. If the bill
fails of adoption the votes on location
will not be effective. If in the June
election no candidate receives a ma
jority or plurality of the votes cast on
location a second election will be held
under the terms of the bill, in which
the two receiving the highest number
of votes in the first election will be
the candidates.

LIMIT TIME OF COLD STORAGE
ONE. SOLUTION OF HIGH PRICED
FOOD PROBLEM.
Senate Committee Presents a Bill That
Has For its object the Cheaper
ing of Foods.

Washington, d. CA limit o. one
year should be put on the use Of cold
storage for the purpose of maintaining
or advancing prices artificially. This
is the judgment of the senate cost OF
living committee, and Chairman Lodge
introduced in the senate bill to meet
5he recommendations
In presenting the bill Senator Lodge
said:
Under the resolution Of the senate
he committee to inquire into wages
and prices of COMMODITIES was given
authority to make recommendations.
In pursuance of that authority the
committee now desires to recommend
70 the senate legislation limiting the
time perishable food may be held in
cold storage.
From such investigation as the COM
mittee has thus far been able to make,
it is satisfied that some limit ought
to be put on the use of cold storage
for the purpose of maintaining or adj
vancing prices artificially. 1t is of the
opinion that this limit oof time will
tend to an equalization of prices, and
in some cases to reduction.
"The investigation of this subject by
the department of agriculture is not
completed, but it has proceeded far
enough to confirm by the results thus
far obtained the view taken by the
committee.

TAFT REMINDED OF A PROMISE
Kansas Not Getting Any Aid in En-
forcement of Prohibitory Law
From the Government.

Topeka, Kansas.-The order which
President Taft promised Governor
Stubs he would issue prohibiting in
ternal recenue officers from compro-
missing with bootleggers has not been
issued or the revenue officials are not
obeying it. The governor sent to the
president the evidence in a case
where, after the state officers had cap
tured a bootlegger, the revenue officers
asked the man to pay the stamp tax.
This man was locked in the Emporia
Jail, and after his conviction for vio-
lating the Kansas Prohibitory Law the
internal revenue office for Kansas
asked him to pay the stamp tax and
announced that he would not be prose-
cuted for violating the revenue laws.

A BIG BENEvOLENCE PLANNED
A $25o,ooo Hospital and Home for
Orphans and Old Persons to be
Built at Kansas City

Kansas City, Missouri-The National
Benevolent association of the Chris
tiaD church is to build in Kansas City
a $3.50, 900 hospital, home for orphans
and a home for old persons. &.
These additions to Kansas City elee-
mosynary life are a result of the re-
cent meeting of the associations in
Pittsburg, Pa, which produced new
impulse for benevolent work in the
church.
OF the $25O,0OO hospital fund, $780,
900 has been subscribed. In addition
10 these subscriptions two sites have
been offered for the hospital, one of
them worth $4,000. However, no site
has been chosen, and the selection
probably will not be made until the
full amount has been subscribed.

Vegetable Compound has done for me
during this trying period. Complete
restoration to health means so much
to me that for the sake of other suffer-
ing women I am willing to make my
trouble public so you may publish
this letter" MRS. CHAs. BARCLAY,
RID, Graniteville, vt.
No other medicine for woman's ills
has received such widespread and un-
qualified endorsement. No other med
icine we know of has such record
of cures of female ills as has Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
For more than 80 years it has been
curing female complaints such az
Inflammation, liberation, local weak
nesses, fibroid tumors, irregularities,
periodic pains, backache, indigestion
and nervous prostration, and it is
unequalled for carrying women safely
through the period of change Of life.
1t costs but little to try Lydia =.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and,
as Mrs. Barclay says, it is "worth noun.
tains of gold " to suffering women.

FELL OFF THE WATER WAGON
Many Cities and Towns in Illinois Re-
verse Local Option Vote of
Two Years Ago.

Chicago, Illinois.-The local option
vote in Illinois cities and towns showed
a tendency in favor of the saloon men,
when it is compared with the similar
contests of two years ago. Numerous
cities of greater size and Importance
which had been controlled by the
"drys" went back into the liquor col
umn, while few cities of large size
were gained by the anti-saloon forces.
In all 26O towns and cities voted on
the proposition, and while the places
of lesser Importance apparently broke
about even, there were many in
stances of reversal of the verdict of
two years ago on both sides.

is evidence of saloon brawl in the
place on Sunday night. Surely
there is no more reason for closing
this place than there has been for
closing others that the excise board
have relicensed or are anxious to re-

makes application"
