Some New Low Records.

NEW YORK. October lion sale of
1000 shares Union Pacific opened point
lower today at lat. Canadian Pacific and
Illinois Central lost IN. The general
movement was downward. but In most
cases recessions were limited to small
fractions. Nearly dozen stocks reached
new low prices for the decline.
Exhaustion of selling pressure enabled
the list to rally fract:onally. after the
cary selling orders had been executed.
The Mexican situation was the most
talked of influence today in restraining
buying. but there were other considera-
tions which accounted for the indifferent
support.
Evidences of an oversold condition were
apparent today Early selling was due
in large part to closing out of impaired
margin accounts and when this process
was completed large operators began to
work for a rally. on he theory that such
q movement was justified by the extent
OF the decline.
In spite of the heavy shrinkage In mar
ket values recently. no sizeable demand
from investors has teen stimulated, II
was said by commission houses, and the
buying which sent up prices was the re-
suit of professional initiative, with cover

noted anti-usury and '1oan shark" bills
which so far have failed of passage

The measure took the following
numbers: State question No. 48; ini.
tiative petition No, 30.
Representatives Woodard, Matthews
and associates are now drafting an
initiative petition to abolish nine state
educational institutions. This will
make the second recourse to the ini.
tiative and referendum, as a result of
the refusal of the legislature to pass
san act abolishing any educational in

The third question submitted prob.
ably will be Senator Campbell Rus

ALMOST LOST
HER REASON
But Thanks To An Old Friend,
This Terrible Catastrophe
Was Avoided.

Tampa, Fla.-Mrs p. G. Coram of
No. 2905 Highland Ave. says: Il was
very weak and worn out from woman
ly troubles. My husband bought me
two bottles of Cardui to take as a
tonic, and from the first day it seemed
to me l felt it's good effects.
BY the time had used the two bot
ties, felt and looked like a new
woman.
Some time later got my feet wet
at the wrong time, and l turned to
Cardui to remedy the mischief done.
Before l had taken one bottle 1t
gave me the needed relief.
Again, in later life, when passing
over a critical time, l almost lost my
reason, but thanks to three or four
bottles of Cardui, l did not. That has
been Is years ago. l am now 80 years
of age, and feeling fine
/ constantly praise Cardui to all my
sick friends.
1t is a wonderful remedy"
This earnest letter should take from
your mind any doubt you might have
as to the merits Of Cardui, the wom-
ans tonic, Mrs. Coram is certainly
competent to recommend Cardui,
since it helped her over three critical
stages Of life.

Low Rates For the State Fair.

On two dates during the seventh
annual Oklahoma State Fair and EX-
position, September % to October 4,
1913, inclusive, a rate of one fare for
the round trip will prevail from all
points in Oklahoma.
An open rate of two cents per mile
in each direction, with minimum sell
ing fare of $lO0 for the round trip
from all points in the state to okla
hOma City, and return, was also an
nounced. This rate will be in force
daily during the State Fair and Expo
sition with final limit the day follow
ing the close of the fair.
The rate of one fare for the round
trip for two days during the fair
period is the best ever before given
in the state of Oklahoma on any state
occasion and means record-breaking
crowds.
While the two-cent rate would
make it possible for immense crowds
to attend the State Fair and Exposi-
ton when the gates swing back Sep
tember % for twelve days, the cent
and a half rate will enable the great
est number of Oklahoma's population
of nearly two million persons to at
tend what promises to be the greatest
State Fair and Exposition in history.
The granting of the special rate
will be beneficial to people in every
town and city in Oklahoma and at the
same time be of greah value to the
railroads. They will get a great
amount of publicity out of the special
rate and the volume of traffic will be
heavy enough to make the aggregate
amount in dollars and cents larger
than ever before spent in railroad
fares during the State Fair and Expo,
sition.
Local passenger men say they are
expecting to handle anywhere from
25O,OO0 to 100000 people during the
twelve days of the fair this year
