Clear Creek Roads
To Be Improved

The. state has appropriated
81 400 for road work in Clear Greek
county. The county has appro-
priated like sum, making a total
of S14.8OO which the county COM
missioners now have available for
road work, and they expect to use
it to the very best advantage. The
three commissioners-Green, Max
well and Miller-were out on the
Floyd Hill road this week on a
tour of inspection and making
numerous surveys of places where
they propose to widen the road.
Guard ropes will be used where
necessary.
It is Mr.. Maxwell's idea that a
number at contracts should be let
and the work expedited instead
of dragging it out over a long
period Of time.

SfOO Ore In The
West Edgar Vein

The People S Leasing company
have encountered in their lease on
the West Edgar vein a streak Of
solid grey and yellow copper ore
eight inches in width that is good
for at least 500 per ton.
The find was made in the breast
of the drift about 300 feet from
the Big Five tunnel. The vein is
heavily mineralized for its entire
width of five feet, and is good
quality of mill dirt, but has never
yielded very much smelling ore
for this company until the present
strike was made, which is about
100 feet below the surface. The
indications at present are that this
find will rival the famous Mosher
lease on the Lake vein.
This company is composed en-
tirely of home people. j. Fl. and
r. Nankervis, Emmett Tuck, Rob-
ert Oxley and Walter Jones are
the lucky ones. All of them are
good stayers and progressive citi-
zens.

Activities Resumed AT
Democrat Mountain

The Red Oak. Mining company,
which has been idle for number
of years has placed $25, 10000 in
bank and work will be resumed on
the properties by the 10th of the
month. This company owns some
Of the best mining properties on
Democrat mountain, from which
large bodies Of ore were mined in
early days, and the renewal of ac-
tivities in that territory promises
that there will soon be large
force Of men employed there. The
mill, which was situated within the
northern boundary lines of George
town and which was destroyed by
fire several years ago, will be re-
constructed and heavy produc-
ton will be made.
The idleness of the properties
for years has caused great deal
of dead work, which will be per-
formed with all possible speed SO
that active development work can
be commenced and continued with
in short time. Prior to the clos.
ing down of the mine when the
prices of metals were low the
mines were producing very good
grade of ore, SO that now with the
general prices of metals at their
present high standards, handsome
returns should be received from
the undertaking.

the same as those of the old danchu emnerOrs, and during his adnlinistra- uOn North China was kept at peace by great military forces, which dominated the political situation and made it i'm possible for independent figures from the south to come to Picking. This mil itary strength has been transferred to Yuan Chi-jUi. The methods of the mil itary have been so reprehensibIe that even now southern leaders are un- willing to risk their lives in Picking, and refuse to come here for conference. Shanghai is the center from which most of the of the negotiations for a settlement of the present controversies are conducted.
 The military party, of which Yuan Cht-jui is one of the chief members, is quite willing to disband the north ern armies and replace the troops now in Peking with southern soldiers. The revolutionary leaders insist that this must be done before harmony can be reestablished between the warning fac tiOns, and Picking rendered a safe cap itaI for legislators of all political faiths.
 Broadly speaking, the two great fac tions in Chinese pOlitiCals might be characterized as the Yuan Shi-kai men and the anti-Yuan Shi-kai men. The former believe a tremendous mil Itary organization is necessary, and have little faith in popular control of of the government The latter believe a great army has defeated the develop ment of the Chinese republic under Yuan Shi-kai, and favor a decided re- ductiOn of the present military streng ngth as the only possible means of better ing Chinese conditions.

JUDGE WHEELER FOUND
 COURT ERRED IN CHARGE New Trial Ordered in Turner Admin istration Case-Fahey Will Case is Withdrawn.

In the case of Arthur P. Turner, admrr vs. Thusa Gidman Turner, exeCX., Judge WheeIer's finding was filed Tuesday with Hibberd R. Nor man of the superior court. This is an action by the administration of Mary A Turner against the executrix of Robert E. Turner to recover certain funds brought to the superior court for New London county and tried to the jury before Judge Bennett: yer dict and judgment thereon for the plaintiff and appeal by the defend ant
 An error and new trial are ordered.
 Judge Wheeler finds that the issues pressed in argument are few and the IactS of record are clear. Robert B. Turner and Mary A. Turner were mar hied in the state prior to 1875, and subsequently, resided in this state. Mrs Turner had on deposit in a bank at Norwich on March 2, 1906, two days before her death, $1,62O.36. On March 3rd 1t was withdrawn by her husband on an order and deposited to his ac- count. The plaintiff claimed that Mrs. Turner did not sign this order and that MT. Turner took possession of this deposit as statutory trustee of his wife under the request of his wife that he pay their adopted son, Arthur Turner, $100; and take the income of the remainder during his lifetime and at his death the principal should be delivered to Arthur. Arthur admit ted that he had received $100 from Robert B. Turner out of said $1,620.36, and as the plaintiff administrator claimed that Robert had converted the balance to his own use.
 In the trial of the case a woman to whom Mrs. Turner had told what she wanted done with her estate lost her notes of the matter and paper that the stepson had sent Rev MT. Turner was also lost
 The evidence is reviewed and the judge thinks that the court erred in the charge given and in not giving substantially the charge as requested. This husband had the right to the income of the fund if he chose to ex- erCise it. He had the right to the custody and bad management of the fund if he chose to exercise his right until he asserts his right over the fund as statutory trustee he has not appropriated it's income and it re- mains here to do with as she pleases. s Whether in the event that the hus- band had in fact exercised his stat utory rights over this fund and held it as such trustee at the time of it's alleged gift to him by his wife, the law would cast such a burden upon the husband, claiming to have receiv- ed the gift from his wife, does not arise in the case and we do not de- eide to consider it.
 From this opinion, Judge Thayer dissented.
 Notice of withdrawal was filed in the case of Cornelius DOnohue vs. Hugh Treanor, exc.
 This was an appeal from probate in the matter of the will of Mrs. Mary kaheX, sister of MT. zDonnhue. sss.ss .sfss

POLITICAL DIVISION OF
 CHINA NOT NORTH AND SOUTH
Chased as Military Party and Non
 Military Party.

Peking, August 1.-Recent political strife in China has shown that the ar bitrary division of Chinese politics in to the northern and southern parties is decidedly misleading. There are va riOuS factions in China which defy def mite classification. But in a general way, Chinese leaders may be classed as members of a military party
 Yuan Shi-Kai was the chief ex- ponent of the views adhered to by the military clan. He believed in rule by r"i"ht, and created a military organi- zation which became decidedly top heavy. Many southern men shared Yu- an Shi-kai's views. Liang Shih-yi and several of the other leaders whose power waned with the death of Yuan -Sh1-kai were Cantonese.
 M1litarism has not been confined to the north, and geographical lines are in no way indicative of political views. Yuan Chi-jui, the premier under Yu- an Shi-kai who has been reappointed l by Ii Yuan hung, is a militarist, but did not share the imperial aspirations of Yuan Shi-kai. He is @ republican, N'1t not as radical a republican as Ii Yuan-hung, the president
 While Ii Yuan-hung is primarily @ soldier and has spent practically all of his life in naval and military effort. he is not an ultra -militarist. He be- lieves in popular rule, and has never an immense army

NEWS OF THE LEGISLATURE
Refund From the Frisco.

An agreement has oeen entered into
between the corporation commission
and representatives of the st. Louis
San Francisco Railroad Company
whereby the latter company will make
immediate payment to the commission
the sum of $76,62735, the amount
overcharged shippers of freight over
that road during the period from July
81, 1911, to December 81, 1912. In
addition to the above amount, the road
agrees to pay $2,196.65 as interest &C
cruing on the principal.
The $76,625.35 represents the over,
charge in rates on coal, oil, building
materials and lumber, as compared
with the schedule of rates on those
commodities promulgated by the cor
poration commission on July 81, 1911.
At the same time, the commission pro-
mulgated schedules of rates, lower
than the rates then charged by the
railroads, on grain, but the refund on
shipments Of that commodity have
not been collected from the railroads.
In all five orders making lower rates
on coal, OIL building materials, 1um-
Der and grain, the difference between
the rates charged by all railroads in
Oklahoma and the rates as promulgat-
ed by the corporation commission,
amounted to more than 100000. OF
that amount, the commission has col
lected $238,30554, exclusive of the
Frisco amount. OF that collected, the
commission has paid out $1S9,774.74
Checks for the remainder were sent
out to shippers to whom the refunds
were due, but the letters and checks
were returned with the letters marked
address unknown"
The Frisco, heretofore, has paid to
the commission about $4,000 as re-
funds on shipments of building mater
ials and lumber; the Atchison, Topeka
& Santa Fe has paid $4,000, and the
Gulf, Colorado & Santa Fe, approx
mately $4,000. The Rock Island has
paid approximately 100000, and the
Missouri, Kansas & Texas, about $22,-
900.

WHY "ANURIC"
is AN INSURANCE AGAINST SUDDEN DEATH
Sufferers from Backache, Rheumatism and kidney Trouble

Before an Insurance Company will
take risk on your life the examining
physician will test the urine and re-
port whether you are a good risk.
When your kidneys get sluggish and
clog, you suffer from backache, sick
headache, dizzy spells, or the twinges
and pains Of lumbago, rheumatism and
govt. The urine is often cloudy, full
OF sediment; channels often get sore
and sleep is disturbed two or three
times a night. This is the time you
should consult some physician OF wide
experience-such as Dr.. Pierce, Of the
Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute,
Buffalo, N. Y. Send him 10 cents for
sample package of his new discovery
"Anuric." Write him your symptoms
and send a sample of urine for test.
