DIPP|NGE CHARGES
ORDERED REDUCED

Oklahoma City, Jan. 19.-An order
was issued Thursday by the corpora
ltion commission in the complaint of
H. c. Heaton, J. l. Clare and II. G.
Egell against the Midland Valley Rail-
road company, directing the company
to reduce the price of dipping cattle at
their five dipping pens in Usage county
| from % cents for the first dip and 10
cents for the second to 10 cents for the
first dip and cents for the second.
Tie amount involved in the case is
a large one. The commission brought
out in the evidence submitted that
more than $4,000 cattle are dipped each
year. Last year 1874 were given a
first dip and at % cents per head this
amounted to S19,199.40; 20,272 dipped
a second time and ,54S dipped third
| time at 10 cents each brought the rev
enues from this source up to $22,395.
1t was shown that the dipping pens at
Nelagony, Big Heart, Skiatook, Black
land and Meyers cost total of So
IS79.74, and that allowing for 20 per
cent depreciation and other charges
they are worth total of $4,676.01,
from which they derived a revenue, as
shown, of more than $4,000.
Complainants testified that the coun-
lty dipping pens charge but cents per
head, which is said to be the actual
cost of the operation, and on this show
ing the commission ordered the reduc-
ton, which becomes effective Febru-
ary ].

1t is to be composed of 16 men Of
letters, with Minister of Eduea.
lion Okada as ex officio chairman The
authorities state that the work of this
ommission will be to criticise contem
.Dorary literary works, mostly novels
nd plays; to offer prizes for special
literary excellence, to collect literary
yorks in prize competition and to un

rature.
The government censors have re.
Gently suppressed many works of fic.

morals and this has resulted in much
bitterness by the literary world
against the authorities.

MILLION PIECES IN A TABLE
inlaid Work Of Joplin Carpenter Is
Unusual Work Of Art-one Year
Required TO Make II.

Joplin, Mo.-A table made up of
100000 pieces of wood, inlaid on a
solid foundation of white pine, which
required one year for the manufacture
Ier, s. P. Wood, OF 1705 Jackson ave
nue., to construct, and which drew q
blue ribbon at the Interstate exposi
tion this fall, will probably be sent
to the Panama exposition in 1915 for
further conquests.
More than score of native and for
eign woods went into its makeup, the
entire outside surface being a design
colored by bits of varicolored woods,
some of which were not more than
one-sixteenth Of an inch in dimension.
1t has been estimated that at least
100000 pieces were required for the
entire table. This large number is
accounted for by the fact that two
blocks on the top were inlaid with
sawdust, made when other blocks
were formed. Several blocks in the
top, which caused any amount OF
speculation as to the kind of wood
used, were made of shavings of many
OF the blocks. Wood never took les.
son in inlaid work.
He has been a carpenter all his life
and interested in the work, but did
not study for preparation. The large
table was in course of construction
for ten months at odd moments. All
of the outside surface was inlaid, no
piece OF wood being duplicated. An
other small table, containing a speci.
men box for the ores of the district,
made by him, is also an interesting
curio. On the front is a perfect pic.
ture of canoe being propelled by a
man. All of the colors are natural
woods, the mans fingers being each
separate piece. Either the large ia
Bile or another one to be begun in the
near future will be sent to the big
exposition.
Wood has been offered $500 for
the small table, but refused this price.
The fact that so many foreign woods
went into its makeup makes is valu-
able.

She blushed and frowned.
Yes, you may ask" she said, III

The pale passenger gulped. "You

Eyes, do say Many years ago a
ship conveyed cargo of deaf mutes
from Boston to Liverpool, and not one
of the deaf mutes got seasick. This
caused the ships doctor to put on his
thinking cap. He stuffed the ears Of
q seasiek voyager with cotton, and the
voyager thus deafened, got right up
from his sick bed and ate a seven
course dinner Since that time it has
been realized that the stomach nerves
and the nerves of hearing are in sym.

the seasick their illness in many cases
has been made to disappear.

Italian officers, Wives.

Recent regulations bearing on the
question of marriage in the Italian
army are worthy of brief mention.
Henceforward, officers, whether on ac
tive service or half pay, will not be al
lowed to marry till they have reached
the age of twenty-five and have OBJ
tained the sanction of the king. The
bride will no longer be required to
bring specified dot, but she will, OF
course, have to give satisfactory evi,
dence as to her social fitness for the
position of an officers wife. 1t viii
be remembered that the dot regIe
nentaire" was abolished some years
ago in the French army by General
Andre, other social requirements, OF
course, remaining as before.-The

Indians Lay Down.

1t is practically assured that al
though the Choctaw and Chickasaw Of
ficials have fought bitterly against the
sale of the surface and the mineral
rights separately they will cease their
fight and make no attempt to oppose
the measure in the senate, for it is
practically agreed that the best way
to go about obtaining the desired end
is to get legislation for the sale of sur
face and then seek legislation for the
sale of the mineral rights. The min
eral rights fight is certain to follow
the passage of the Owen bill.
After the senate. has acted on the
coal land bill with it's amendments it
will go to the conference committee
where an effort will be made to secure
the approval of the house committee
men. If all amendments are concurred
in, the house will go through the form
altty of accepting them and the legisla-
ton only will need the signature of
President Taft to become effective.

RELIGIOUS HOAX IN INDIA
People Drink From Staanant Pool
Scented With Stolen Perfume and
Story Spreads of Spring.

Calcutta.-One of the most extra.
ordinary religious hoaxes ever record
ed even in India has just occurred

pool of stagnant water formed
from the accumulation of sewage
from roadside drains suddenly began,
according to the local inhabitants, to
emit sweet perfume which had q
lovely lemon flavor. Many people
came, smelt, and were conquered, and
the rumor spread that the pool was
holy and that new goddess would
soon rise from its waters to redeem
the world
The pool became place of pilgrim
age. Diseased people bathed in 4
and drank of it, and those of uneasy
conscience washed away their sins in
1t. The water was carried away in
jugs and bottles and a brisk trade
sprang up under the aegis of an astute
young Bengalee in selling the holy
water" in all parts of the city at as
much as $3.50 bottle.
news OF lne noly perfume came to
the ears of Bose G Co, scent manu-.
facturers, who sent connoisseur to
investigate. His nose Immediately
provided him with clew to the mys-
terious disappearance of several cases
of essential oils belonging to the firm.
The police found that several broken
bottles of the oils had been thrown
into the pool. This was the explana-
tion of the holy smell
The young Bengalee and carter.
suspected of having stolen the oils.

New French Art Match Boxes.

NGW FtCiCH MI NabCH oOACSs
Art in France is hereafter to be con.
aected with match boxes. The minis.
try of finance, having to renew the
supply, decided some time ago that as
not every Frenchman has leisure to
study the pictures in the Louvre, the
opportunity should be given him of
admitting them on his match boxes
Some Of these have hitherto been or
nanlented with the heads of the ia.
pcus generals of the revolution. The
generals will now have to retire and
make way for the Rembrandts, the
Van Dycks, and the Watteaus of the
Louvre. Foreigners and travellers
generally will also find 1t an advant
dge Instead of spending hours and
days in the museums and getting foot,
sore in front of miles of pictures they
have only TO buy matches, or, rather,
boxes with few sulphur sticks inside
1t is quite assuring to know that, with
all its concern for art, the state mo.
nopoly will not forget to give us a
few matches with the Rembrandts
The price also is to remain the same
as before, and the quality of the con.
tents--well, the officers of the govern.
ment regie themselves assure US that
1t cannot possibly be worse.

THE OWEN BILL
IS PREFERRED
Indian Affairs Committee Recommends
Proposed Act Be Passed-Insures
No Delays.

Washington, d. c., Jan. 1S.-With
several amendments affecting the time
and manner of sale, Senator Owens
bill providing for the sale of the sur
face of the Choctaw and Chickasaw
coal and asphalt lands, nearly $4,000
acres, was reported to the senate
Thursday from the Indian affairs com
mittee with the recommendation that
lit be passed.
The Owen bill will take the place of
the Carter measure, Pat Hurley, attor-
ney for the Choctaws, made the de-
claration that although the tribes af-
fected were opposed to the separate
sale of the surface and the mineral
lands they approved the Owen meas
ure over the Carter bill because it has
tened the time of sale in addition to
making possible the disposition with
out reserv ttion of $4,000 to $4,000
acres of surface land under which they
are no minerals.
The Owen measure provides that
there shall be three appraisers appoint
ed by the secretary of interior and that
the sale of the lands shall take place
Immediately after the appraisers have
completed their work, which must be
started as soon as the act becomes ef-
fective.
What Carter Bill. Provides.
The Carter measure provides six
months for appraisal and that the sale
must be made within year after the
completion of the appraisal
Improvements shall be given sep
arate appraisal, the Owen bill provides
and the secretary of the interior is en-
powered to sell tracts adjoining towns
as subdivisions to be divided into lots.
The McAlester Country Club is CIV
,en the right to purchase 100 acres for
it's use and the state penitentiary is
given power to condemn all mineral
rights beneath the surface now occupi-
ed by the prison The owen bill has
'cgAe approval of the department of in
terror as Senator Owen and depart
ment officials spent much time in franz
ing it. AS Senator LaFollette was also
consulted it is expected he will make
, no effort whatever to oppose it in the
senate.
