Tulsa, Okla, Oct. 10.-Both men,

to attend the league baseball games

Face lotions and creams merely al
leviate the irritation of the skin-they
are of no permanent value. Stuarts
Calcium Waters go right after the
cause of pimples-the poisons and i'm
purities in the blood. They chase
them into the pores, change them into
gases that are easily eliminated and
then stimulate the pores into throwing
them out. There is no waste of time
no fooling around. These little waters
assimilated into the blood, work
night and day until every impurity is
gotten rid of and you not only have
clear complexion, but pure, vigorous
blood that endows you with new life
and energy.
Stuart's Calcium Waters contain
nothing harmful-nothing but what
thousands of physicians have used
and recommended. It's chief con-
stituent, calcium sulphide, is univer-

yourself the supreme happiness that
the consciousness of god looks and
the power of attractiveness will bring
you.

Cruce has referred to the local cham
Der of commerce telegram from the

REPORT Of
THE CHAMBER
Of COMMERCE
COMMITTEE APPOINTED TO IN
VESTIGATE LIGHTING CON-
TRACT, SUBMIT REPORT TO
PEOPLE.

Some time ago the chamber of COM
merce appointed a committee - n.
vestigate the proposed contract be
tween the Ice Light & Power Co. and
the city and yesterday filed the fol
lowing report for the public inspec
tion.
''We, the undersigned, who were
appointed as a committee by your
body to investigate the contracts en-
tered into between the city of Ard
more and the Ardmore Ice, Light
e Power company, beg to repor: the
following:
eve find that the city of Ardmore
has entered into a contract, sub
ject to the approval of the voters
of Ardmore at an election to be held
next Tuesday, by the terms of which
the city of Ardmore agrees to pay
to the Ardmore Ice, Light & Power
company $500 per calendar month for
6.6 ampere 400 candle power nitro
gen filled series lamps for street
lighting. These lights to take the
place of the present arc lights for
which the city has been paying
from six to ten dollars, mostly ten
dollars, per light; and to furnish
sc ampere 60 candle power nitrogen
filled series lamps to take the place
of the small bracket lights now used
in the residence section of the city,
for the sum of two dollars each per
calendar month AS to the 400 candle
power lights, your committee finds
that these lamps will give practi-
cally twice as much light as the
arc light but will require consider
ably less current. AS to the 60 can
die power lamps which are to take
the place of the present small lights
in the residence section for which
the city has been paying $3.50 per
month, we find that these 60 candle
power lamps will give practically
twice as much light as the present
lights, but will require only two
thirds of the current now required.
eve therefore find that the Ard
more Ice, Light & Power company
under this contract, would be furnish
ing considerably less power and fur
nishing lights which will consider
ably lessen their expense of up-keep
and will enable them to dispense
with the services of at least two men
whose duty it now is to keep the
present arc lights in condition. In
other words, the effect would be that
the Ardmore Ice, Light e Power com
pany would be furnishing consider
ably less current to the city than
they are now furnishing and at con-
siderably less expense to themselves
while at the same time the city
would be getting better lights both in
the business and residence districts
at a lesser cost. This is the result |
of improved methods of lighting.
1--WE have made a comparison of
the old system of lighting the city
Of Ardmore with the similar system
still in effect in other cities, with
the following results:

ALESTER RESULTS IN FREE
DOM FOR SEVERAL INMATES
OF PENITENTlARY.

McAlester, Okla, Oct. 10.-All par

of prison control, whether favorable
or unfavorable, are regular instru-
ments, and their beneliciaries will be
released from the state penitentiary,
whether the papers are attested by
the secretary of state or not, accord
ing to the decision of Judge Preslie b.
Cole, in habeas corpus proceedings in
district court, which ended here last
Friday evening.
Where petitions for clemency have
not been regularly presented and pass
ed upon by the board, the court held
that the acting governor proceeded
without authority, in which habeas
corpus writs were denied.
Only twelve cases were presented,
but those others coming under the rul-
iAi6S mag ObNuli iOltuot upOh dpplliSl-
ton. OF the twelve applying seven

In all the lieutenant governor granted
tifty-siX pardons, paroles or commuta-
tions during absence fro mthe state
of Governor Cruce. Nine of these
were attested as regular by the sec
retary of state.
Governor Cruce has issued an order
revoking the forty-seven not attest
ed but the court refused to recognize
the revocations, even on paroles, hold
ing in such cases that paroles can be
revoked only when violation of condi.
tions of parole is shown.
Judge Samuel w. Hayes represent
ed the governor and prison officials,
in opposing the writs, while the case
of the petitioners was presented by
Attorneys E. G. McAdams and Norman
Haskell. Secretary of State Ben. f.
Harrison and Miss Martha Rosenthal,
pardon clerk, were called as witness
es. Miss Rosenthal denied the insin-
uation that she had hidden the rec
ords of her office in order to thwart
the pardoning activity of the acting
governor.
Those who obtained writs and were
released from prison tonight, are Rob-
ert w. Thompson, Jefferson county,

1--WE have not been able to find
any other city of similar size to
Ardmore who have installed the
new system of lighting, such as is
proposed now to be installed, and
we are therefore unable to make
comparison with other cities as to
the cost of operating the new system
and the cost that we should pay for
lights such as is proposed to be fur
nished under the new system of
lighting.
1--WE wish to call attention to the
fact that this contract is virtually
a seven-year contract, whereas it
has been generally understood to be
a five-year contract.

Of Lieut.. Col. f. =. Robson.
Major General Davies, addressing
the corps after the inspection, said
that the "men" in the ranks stood
very well under arms. He knew it
was a very difficult thing for boys
TO stand still-much more than it
was for men. He watched them
pretty closely, and, as he had said.
hey stood very well under arms.
There were two points he noticed.
In the first place he saw a great
many dirty boots. He knew that tc
a certain extent this depended upon
the house and the man who cleaned
the boots. He noticed that some
boots we're beautifully clean, as sol.
diers' boots ought to be, but some Of

if they had not been cleaned for
