charges made against him is what
the people who know BIZ McLamore
expected. lie has been an oidcer
too long, he has done too much
faithful service for the people, and

this Judgment was entered of record
where the land is situated, Della Bo-
wen filed contest against Buckner
Burns, before the commissioner to
the five civilized tribes, alleging that
she had a prior right to allot the land
by reason of the fact that Bucllner
Burns had conveyed the land to white
persons and not citizens of the tr.re.
The contest was decided in favor of
Della Bowen and patent was is
sued and delivered to her to this land,
and when this was done, Dorset Car
ter ct al filed their suit. charging that
the action of the commissioner in eli
pertaining jurisdiction of the contest
was an error of law and likewise thn
judgment awarding the land to Della
Bowen was an error of law and the
issuance and delivery of patent TO
Della Bowen was an error of law, and
asked that their title to the land BE-
Quieted and that Della Bowen be held
as trustee holding the legal title for
them.
Judge Frank NJ Ga.,ey in harding
down his decision, in part, said that
when the allotment certificate was is
sued and delivered to Buckner Burns,
this ousted the jurisdiction o. the
commissioner and he was powerless
to proceed further unless some action
in the courts had been taken seek
certificate issued to Buckner Burns,
and inasmuch as no such action had
been taken. the judgmen. awarding
the land to Della Bowen was a null
ity: that the allotment certificate hav-
ing first been issued to Buckner Burns
the patent should have been issued
to Buckner Burns, and for this error
of law by the commissioner, court
of equity has the power and author
ity to correct same.
II. A. Ledbetter of Ardmore, who
represents the plaintiffs in this suit,
when asked about the decision of
Judge Bailey, said; The holding of
the court in this matter is in conform
ity with various decisions of the SUI
preme court OF the United States, and
those persons who have purchased
lots in this townste need not feel
bit uneasy. That in the even, NJ ap-
peal should be taken. the holding of
Judge Bailey would be affirmed"

The Woman Past Forty.

Nothing seems to arouse masculine
Sympathy so much as the woman past
fCrty.
\ western paper has lately made
the tragic inquiry: What will the
working women, who have not taken
refuge in marriage do after they are
past forty"
Well. there are a number of thing
they might do. In want of further
things to occupy their time, might
get married. \ woman who has work
ID until she is past forty is generally
able to get married And if she
should, that would keep her pretty
busy the rest of her days.
In fact, it is a man. who tells MS that
any woman who hasn't hump or a
sQuint may marry whom sne VIII.
But if she has nothing more to do
she might learn to keep her hat on
straight. # is really remarkable, con-
sidering of how much moment a w0-
mans hat is, that the average woman
past forty cares nothing for the angle
AT which her hat is placed on her
head. ! have seen women with hats
poised on their heads as If they were
an aeroplane ready for flight. Then
again they are often tilted raHsh.y
over the eye at quite an undignfiea
slant for a woman of such mature
years No woman need ever consider
herself old enough or important
enough to escape the tyranny of her
bonnet.
The woman past forty has much
upon which 10 pride herself Gen
orally she can take pleasure in the
fact that nobody knows it, Some
how or other the age line has been
wiped out in tle twentieth century.
But. if she persists in telling it, and il
she hasn't a husband to look after,
she might devote her extra time to
preserve her looks and above all
things to keep her hat on straight.

A New Department.

The new firm of Randol-Ditzler
have added one department to their
store not generally advertised
On last Saturday afternoon two 1f
their country customers came in and
after bashfully standing around
awhile made known to the manager
that they We're in the market, not FOR
dry goods. but for matrimony.
The blushing groom produced his
ticket and a preacher was secured
and the happy couple were soon SEN
on their way rejoicing.
Mr.. Randol says he doesn't adver-
tise this branch of his store, because
he cant guarantee the goods; some
times they wear well and sometimes
they fade the first time they find
themselves in hot water. They are
sold entirely at the purchasers risk.
Often. without knowing it, the buyer
picks up a real bargain; but the store
does not guarantee the wearing quail
ity of the goods. They will also not
accept goods for exchange and no
articles bought from this department
can he returned.
If the purchase proves unsatisfac-
tory the management refers them to
the exchange department which is in
the hands of any of our lawyers.

INSINuATIoNS ARE AS WICKED
AS HE'LL ITSELF

fhe statement alleged TO nave
been made by John Whayne, THAT
il took a lot of money to elect Lee
Cruce and they intended to have
that money back" is by no means
in harmony with the Cruce admin
isu'aton. nor is it in harmony VITA
the motives OF the men whom Lee
Cruce has, by appointment, placed
under him in his administration.
Whether it is meant that the money
was spent in tne primary election,
or in the general election. the re-
sul is the same. Lee Cruce per
sonally made the statement that he
would not violate the laws of his
state in order to become governor
OF Oklahoma. In maaing that state
ment, which was heraldcd by the
press all over the country at the
time, he started active work In the
primary campaign, he had direct rpf-
erence to the limitations placed by
law upon the amount he was al
lowed to spend in making his pri-
mary campaign. Lee Cruce never
violated that law and he was nom
mated IN as clean a campaign as
ever a man made for any office.
With reference TO the Cruce head
quarters and the amount of money
spout 10y that body Lee Cruce had
no knowledge. He was IN the ield
the entire time and knew less OF
the work of his headquarters than
the citizens OF the state, who had
time to make observations ana 10
read the press reports BAT the
money raised by the Cruce head
quarters was raised in legitimate
way. The Cruce men of every coun-
ty OF the state contributed 10 that
fund These contributions camo in

not one OF these men expected the

they may have returned to them the

STEPHENSON OF WlSC SIN
MUST SHOW COMMITTEE HE
WAS HONESTLY ELECTED.
CAMPAIGN EXPE NSES ENORMOUS
An Investigation Of His Election o.
dered by the Upper House OF
Congress-A Committee Is to Be
Named.

Washington, Aug. l4.-An investi-
cation of the election of United States
Senator Isaac stephenson of Wiscoh-
sin, was directed in resolution PASS
ed by the senate today.
The resolution was reported to the
senate by Senator Dillingham;, chair
man of the elections committee, wh'Cn
at a meeting today, approved the rec
ommendation of a subcommittee
granting the Wisconsin legislatures
request for an investigation. The
committee was authorized to sit dur
ing the recess of congress, TO sub
poena witnesses aud to cal cor al
necessary papers.
Senator Stephensons official state
ment of his campaign expenses in the
senatorial primary was that he spent
$lO7, 1906 in the interests Of his can
didacy. This was filed at Madison.
Wis, February II, after resolution
had been introduced in the state leg
islature accusing him of purchasing
his seat in the United States senate.
The Wisconsin senate adopted
resolution June !, 1911, declaring that
Senator Isaac Stephenson had bought
his seat in the United States senate
and requesting that the United states
senate investigate it. The vote on
the resolution was 10 to 3.
Senator Husting. a member of the
senatorial investigating committee,
reviewed the testimony taken at the
investigation and argued that It clear
ly showed Stephenson guilty of bri-
berry and the corrupt practices law in
spending Sill 900 IN the primary COM
paign and election and unknown
amount between his nomination and
election by the Legislature.
Mr. Stephenson is a unique charac-
ter in American politics. He Is self
educated, selfmade and egotstical to
a degree that is hardly understand
able until one becomes acquainted
with him and studies his characters
tics.
He was born near Fredericton,
New Brunswick, the son of prosper
Gus lumberman according to those
days. He had a short schooling, and
cooked in his fathers camp for fifteen
men when he was II years old. He
was tall, stalwart in frame and rug
ged in character.
When 16 he left home and became
a sailor on the lakes. year later
he landed from a schooner in Milwau-
kee with a dollar in his pocket and
decided to become woodsman. He
went to Escanaba and hired out to
Daniel Wells, Jr.. the man who be-
came his friend and benefactor. He
was a hard worker, with remarkable
foresight, and was keen judge OF
men.
He quickly earned the confidence
of his employers and in 1S47 was put
in charge of the lumber camps dur.
ing the winter, spending the summers
sailing on the lakes as common~sail.
or After a few years of steady pro
gression he in 1857 was able to pur'
chase a quarter interest in the ".
Ludington company and was made
superintendent. \ mill was built at
Marinette and the foundation laid for
the vast fortune which now is esti-
mated at more than 10 million dollars.
He is now nearly sole owner of the
big concern with its two mills and
the millions of acres of land and i'm
mense output of lumber.
