ACTIVE WORK

CAPITOL NOW.
AGREEMENT REACHED AND CON-
TRACT SIGNED YESTERDAY Az
TERNooN BUILDING COMPLETE
IN TWO YEARS.

Oklahoma City, Aug 3.-After weeks
of delay, the state Tuesday finally
reached an agreement with James
Stewart & Company on the form OF
the capitol building contract and the
document was signed late Tuesday
afternoon by Governor r. l.. Williams,
the three members of the capitol com
mission and John II. Frederickson
western manager for the construction
company. This means that the ad-
vance guard of Stewart & Company's
army of skilled workmen will COM
mence Wednesday morning the huge
task of completing the mighty $1,5OO,-
GOO state house in the short time of
two years allotted for the work.
When the conference of officials
meeting for the purpose of closing
the deal was called to order in the
capitol commissions offices in the
Patterson building Tuesday, represen-
tatives of the construction firm again
found a feature in the contract with
which they were displeased, and
threatened to cause additional delay.
Here Governor Williams put his foot
down.
Gentlemen" he said, "we've got to
attend to this business right here
this afternoon. We've quibbled around
for more than a month now, and | am
not going to stand for any more of it.
Why, if we don't go ahead and get the
signing of this contract over, there's
no telling when we will conclude the
business. We agreed on this contract
yesterday, and there will not be any
more fooling away time
Points Agreed Upon
After a few minutes the points in
dispute were settled, couple of new
pages were written under the direction
of Assistant Attorney General Smith c.
Matson. Governor Williams and Mr..
Frederickson then identified every
page of the contract with their sigma
lures.
The actual signing of the document,
which has been looked forward to so
much, then took place. Governor Will
liams, the members of the capitol com
mission and Mr.. Frederickson affixed
their signatures at the close of the
long agreement-and the last prelimi-
nary step toward the erection of a
magnificent capitol for the state of
Oklahoma had been taken.
With the formal closing of the con-
tract the work of the capitol COM
mission composed of w. r. Anthony,
Pat Goulding and Stephen A. Douglas,
is just about concluded. for the pres

of the State FAR of Texas. There
have been some remarkable men be.
fore the public Of recent years, but
none to compare with young Smith.
He is the wonder of the times.
Last year visitors to the state
Fair Of Texas were thrilled and de-
lighted beyond expression by the
work Of the late Lincoln Beachey,
and while his CVolutions high in the
air were of the most signal and I'M

tame alongside the stunts that Smith
is doing He does all that has ever
been done by other men and then

Smith will be seen at his best at
the state Fair Of Texas this year.
That portion of humanity which loves

ent at any rate. Fifteen days from
now, at the latest the body will ad-
journ subject to call of the governor,
who is eX-officio chairman, according
to the terms of the law covering the
erection of the building. enacted by
the Fifth legislature. The members
of the commission cease drawing a
regular salary and will receive so
much a day and travelling expenses,
when actually called in session.
Now that the contract has been sign
ed, it must be forwarded to New York
to be approved by the board of direc'
tors of Stewart & Co., but this, accord
ing to Mr.. Frederickson, is a mere mat
ter of form Work on the structure will
not be held up pending that action by
the company's high officials, he said.
Begin Work Wednesday
AT s o'clock Wednesday morning
there will be from fifty to seventy-five
men in the employ of James Stewart
& Company at the capitol grounds,
ready to begin their labors,' he assert
ed. The number to be employed, of
course, will vary from time to time,
as different stages are reached, and,
also, will be governed by the success
we have in securuinuguu umuatueriua
we have in securing materials when
needed. As yet | cannot tell just how
many men we will employ on the
building"
Mr.. Frederickson, who will be in
command Of the building, brought
with him from Utah, where. Stewart
& Company just finished the capitol
of that state, the heads of the differ
ent departments. They will direct
the actual work and in turn will be
directed by Mr. Frederickson.
The general contractor is taking
charge of the building just about a
year after the work was started by
the capitol commission. Ground for
the building was broken in July, 1914,
but it was after August l. that the
actual eXcavating for the foundation
was started.
According to the terms of the con-
tract the capitol must be finished
within $50 calendar days from the
time the contract was signed, or slight
ly more than two years. The legisla-
tive chambers are to be ready for oc-
cupancy, however, by December l,
1916, in time for the next regular ses-
sion of the states law-making body.
Stewart e Company's reputation
for speedy work is well known. The
built the Utah capitol in
fourteen months less time than was
provided in the contract. It's most
notable feat, however, was erecting
the general Westinghouse buildings in
London in two years after all the
great contractors of England and Ger
many said it could not be done in
much less than six years.
Mr.. Frederickson expects to be able
to finish the Oklahoma capitol sever
al weeks, perhaps months, before the
time specified in the contract. If it
lakes longer than two years, the com
pany will forfeit TO the state 5000 for
each day.

HOW WE WON OUT.
We Saw the Prize and Grabbed 1t.

we OdW lHC IlES c''S '~'
Everybody in town knows that we
are first in getting the best of every
thing. Last week we received letter
from Professor Munyon, showing us a
plan whereby he could rush the ho-
meopathic remedies direct from his
laboratory into our store without los
ing any of their curative properties.
We saw the Importance of this offer
and Immediately sent in our order for
a full line of his remedies.
We want to say that we received
a letter from Professor Munyon, stat
ing that if anyone bought the rene
dies, and they were not perfectly sat
isfied with results, that we were to re-
turn the money. He says, 81 want you
to specially push the rheumatism rem
edy in order that people may know.
Find the hardest cases in town, those
that doctors have failed to cure, and
get them to buy a 25c bottle, and II
it doesn't relieve stiff and sore joints,
pain in the back, side, or in any part of
the body before one bottle has been
used, give the people back their
money" This certainly must inspire
confidence as everybody knows that
Munyon's Homeopathic Remedies are
absolutely harmless and millions of
bottles are sold every year.
He also has sent us few hundred
packages of his Paw-Paw Laxative
Pills and wants us to give them away
absolutely free. He says these pills
are the best stomach and liver regu-
lator that the world has ever known.
They don't scOur, they don't gripe.
They school the bowels to act natur-
ally and take out of the system all
the poisons and matter that irritates
the nerves and causes biliousness,
headache and general debility.
We are also to give away four
mage sheet of music free to everybody
who calls.
