RAILROAD FAVORS
 LIVERPOOL PLAN

Houston, Tex, August 8.-C. K. Dun- lap traffic manager of the Hartman lines in Texas, in a statement today announced that the Liverpool cotton bill of ladin3 ag1 cement would be signed by all the Harriman Texas lines. Cotton dealers and bankers object seriously to the IAver- pool method. he said, but the railroads have found it necessary to sign if they will do business. Formal announcement has not yet been made by other lines in |Texas.
 English cotton buyers have agreed not to buy cotton except under the Liverpool settlement and to demand definite means to cut off that business.
 Advices received here today stated that the entire Guild system of rail- Pacific, has declined for the present at least to sign any agreement binding them to utilize the central bureau plan for validating cotton bills of lading New Orleans bankers and cotton men feel greatly encouraged by the atti- tude of the lines, as it is believed that 1t will help local interests to fight the Liverpool plan
 Announcement was made from New York several weeks ago to the effect that about 40 of the leading trunk lines of this country had made an agreement to cooperate with LiverNool as in the operating of the central bu- reau. This plan has been condemned by southern bankers and cotton men.

NOT DETERMINED.
County Attorney VIII Take Up the
Question OF the Legality of
the Boards.

Il am entirely ignorant of the law
in the matter as the case has never
come up before, that / know Of" said
County Attorney Pat Malloy, when
asked what effect the decision of
Judge Clark of Oklahoma City hold
ing that the county insanity boards
were Illegal would have on Tulsa
county.
1T is "A very important matter, ana
] intend to dig into it just as soon as
can get the time"
District Judge Clark, a few days
ago, rendered an opinion, which, if
sustained by the state supreme court,
means the end Of the insanity board
of every county in the state, This
board is composed Of three members,
the county judge, a physician and a
lawyer, appointed by the county Judge.
1t is their duty to examine persons
brought before them on. the charge
of insanity and to recommend that
they either be discharged or taken to
the state insane hospital.
If these boards are Illegal the in
sanity cases will be tried before the
county judge alone

The modern national guardsman is

was enacted H. 1892 and remained in
force with a lew amendments until
1903, provided that all able-bodied
men between the ages of IS and As,
with the exception of those specifi-
.cally exempted, composed the militia.
Under that law the men equipped
themselves and the equipment would

CLAIMS he DID NOT
GET attorneys FEE
THEREFORE, \ SAPULPA ATTOR-
NEY is SUING MARTINDALE
AND DEICHMAN HERE.

One of the most interesting cases
that will be tried at the preesnt term
of the district court was started yes
terday when the case of Richard
Shaha, an attorney of Sapulpa. ver-
sus d. NJ. Martindale and Peter Deich
man, attorneys of Tulsa, went to trial
at 4 o'clock in the afternoon.
Shaha is suing for division of an
attorney fee of approximately $15,-
600 procured In Martndale and
Deichman from an Indian woman as
payment for their services in getting
for her divorce from her husband,
who owned valuable allotment in
the Glenn Pool oil fields, half of
which the court granted TO the wife.
Shaha claims that under written
contract he was to get one half Of
the fees paid, but up to this time he
has been paid only $500.
He charges that Martindale and
Deichman secured the $4,000 and
have refused to pay him his share.
The case Is being watched closely
by all attorneys as the details of the
case reach out in many directions.

Verdict of Not Guilty i'm One Case and
No Witness I'm Another.

Evidently yesterday was not the
states day in the county court. All
day long the assistant count attorney
and the attorneys for Dud Moore in
dicted by the grand jury on charge
of selling liquor fought in the county
court room and late in the afternoon.
the jury returned a verdict of not
guilty, after being out twenty min
utes. The only other case started yes
terday came to an abrupt end when
the only states witness in the witness
stand declared he knew nothing what
ever about the case and the state
was forced to dismiss the charge. All
other cases set for trial yesterday
were continued.

that Judge Breckenridge is usurping

The amended petition was immed-
lately filed and Judge Breckenridge
announced that he would not file
answer, as he did not desire TO delay
matters. The failure of the supreme
court to hand down a decision was a
disappointment to all the attacks of
the superior court, who feeling cons

ceiving the several months back pay
that has been held up by the county
commissioners. 1t is hardly prob
able now that a decision viii be had

SPIRITS FOR RHEUMATISM.

The use of spirits in the treatment
OF rheumatism has proved an innova-
ton among the medical profession.
When mixed with certain other in
gradients and taken properly II is
said to be an almost infallible cure for
rheumatism and backache. Here is
the formula. From your druggist get
one ounce of Toris compound lin
original sealed package) and one
ounce of syrup Of Sarsaparilla COM
pound. Take these two ingredients
home and put them into a half pint
Of good whiskey. Shake the bottle
and take tablespoonful before each
meal, and at bedtime" Results come
Immediately. If your druggist does
not have Toris compound in stock he
will get It in few hours from his
wholesale house. Don't be influenced
to take some patent medicine instead
Of this Insist on having the genuine
Toris compound in the original one
punce sealed, yellow package.
