Meanings of Dyke.
Dyke" has even more divergent
meanings than ditch in Lincolnshire
and bank in Holland. In Scotland It
means a low wall or fence Of turf or
unmortgaged stones, and in some parts
of northern England a dyke" is n
hedge. Yet there are other northern
districts where 1t is pond. Originally.
in English at any rate, dyke" or
"dike" and ditch" both meant what
ditch still means to us, but as the dig

the raising Of mound with the dug
out earth the words came to signify
ditch and mound together and eventu.

Acting upon instructions received
by wire from the father OF the young
lady. Chief of Police Booker took in
charge wv. A. Odell and Miss Lillian
Harkins of Tishomingo, yesterday al
ternoon.
1t was simply a case of young
couple trying to get married against
the wishes of the parents of each OF
them. The young lady, so her father
says, is under age, but shs looks fully
eighteen, has a determined mouth and
chin and says that she is determined
to marry the man of her choice in
spite of all the fathers in Oklahoma.
The young lady spent last night at
the Randol hotel, while her would
be husband was neld at police heau-
quarters. This morning, accompanied
by an officer the young man went to
the Randol for breakfast. His af-
fianced bride was called and they
went into the dining room together
while the officer waited in the hotel
lobby But instead of eating their
breakfast they made second break
for matrimony. With the assistance
of a kind hearted and romantically
inclined employe of the hotel they
slipped out the back way, hired an
automobile and skidooed toward Love
count yand happiness. Chief Booker
overhauled them at Overbrook and
returned them to the city where thev
We're held until the arrival of their
"old folks" who will take them back
to the Johnston county capital.
Odell is a fine looking, pleasant
spoken young man. He says that he
has no bad habits, that he loves the
girl and she loves him and that they
are yet going to get married. If there
is anything in a good, clear eye and
a manly, straightforward manner, the
young man will prove loving and
true husband to any gia

MANY BILLS ON
HOUSE CALENDER
IMPORTANT MEASURES KILLED
BY ADOPTION OF CONCURRENT
RESOLUTION.

One hundred and siXty-one house
bills that died on the calendar OF the
house Monday night were wiped Off
Tuesday morning, and nothing left
before that body but seven or eight
senate bills, most of which were dis
posed of in the course of the day.
This was in accordance with the
concurrent resolution by which both
houses agreed to devote the remainder
of the regular session solely TO busi-
ness from the other branch.
Among the bills which died on the
house calendar were several measures
to annul and otherwise concerning
school book contracts; the free text
book bill, the anti-usury bill; the fair
primary law; the educational penal
and eleemosynary institutional appro-
priation bills that originated in the
house: the bills to abolish secondary
agricultural schools; a bill to prohibit
false statements made to obtain cred
it; a bill to limit the amount of state
or school lands leased for oil and gas
purposes; the mental anguish" bill;
the senatorial redistricting bill; the
chiropractiC examining board bill; the
bill to prohibit betting on horse rae
es; the minimum wage law for wom-
en-; TIE barber regulation bill; the
bill to give the governor power TO
remove public officers failing to do
their duty; the patent medicine bill
the latter a measure bitterly op-
posed by the druggists and most OF
the newspapers.
The question of adjournment of the
regular session is still very uncer-
tain. The house is practically
through but the senate is not. The
senate resolution to adjourn Thurs
day is consequently meeting with lit
tie favor among house members, since
they want the senate to hold on until
at least the important house bills sent
over are disposed of.-Oklahoman,

SUDDEN HALT IN
PROBERS WORK
INVESTIGATING COMMITTEES GET
SORE AT EACH OTHER - AC-
CUSED OF BUTTING IN.

The greater part of the night ses-
sion of the house Monday night was
occupied in discussion of a message
from the governor calling attention
to the legislature to the fact that a
transcript of the evidence taken
against appointive officials, whom he
has been asked to remove by house
committees, has not been furnished
him. The message was finally sub
mitted to the general investigating
committee. A near row occurred be-
tween members of the general and
special investigating committees, the
former accusing the latter of butting
in. The special or efficiency COM
mittee was supposed to be vested
only with powers to make recon-
mendations to the main probe COM
mittee as to clerical and business
methods of the departments while
this committee actually did some
probing work and made reports to
the house upon it, independent of the
general committee.
The work of probing state depart
ments in the house has come to a
sudden halt and it does not seem
IA ioDublC biltAI any lllllS HlOIe VIII Dt
done in that line until the special
session. 1t is stated on good author
ity that the general investigation
committee of the house will not make
report on the Marland leases, text
book probe and other matters which
have come before it before the close
of the regular Session. Members of
the committees which have been
probing departments explain their in
activity during the past few days to
the fact that the house has been
working almost night and day that
much of the time is devoted to roll
calls with so many members absent
that the committees cannot be spared
from the sessions There has been
little or no opportunity to meet at
night because of night sessions of the
bouse.-Oklahoma City Times.
