Oil Lands Measure
 Favorably Reported by House Committee

Washington, Oct. 15.-The public land, oil, gas, phosphates and coal leasing bill, recently passed by the senate, was ordered reported favor ably today by the public lands com mittee. Few important changes were made by the house committee and Representative Sinnott of Ore gon, chairman, said the measure would be called up for house action next week.
 The minimum royalty to be paid the government on oil lands was fix ed as one-eighth. of the production, instead of one-quarter, as provided by the senate. s.f
 The Harris amendments to the ori- ginal senate bill were eliminated by the house committee. These amend ments, proposed by Senator Harris of Georgia, limit oil stock ownership to one company, if it had been creat- ed because of an antitrust law dis solution decree .,or to escape anti trust prosecution. Forty other amendments made by the house com mittee were said by committee men to be without special importance, the majority being textual changes.

:. DRINK 4 GLASS
 OF HOT WATER IS
 ASPLENDID HABIT
Cleanse and Sweeten the Sys- tenn Each Morning and Wash Away Poison 0us, Stagnant
 Matter.

Those of us who are accustomed to feel dull and heavy w.len we arise; splitting headache, stuffy from cold foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stom- aCn, lame back, can, instead, both irok and feel as fresh as daisy always by washing the poisons and .oxins from the body with phospaated hot water each morning.
 We should drink, before breakfas: a glass of hot water with teaspooc, ful of limestone phosphate in it to flush from the stomach, liver, I;;d. neys and bowels the previous days .ndigestible waste, sour bile and poi sonous toxins; thus cleansing, sweet c.i.ng and purifying the entire a;l- m, rtary tract before eating moro food.
 The action of limestone phosphate and hot water on an empty stomach is wonderfully invigorating. It cleans out all the sour lamentations, gases, waste and acidity and gives one a fine appetite for breakfast. A quar- ter pound of limestone phosphate costs very little at the drug store, but IS enough to make anyone who is bothered with biliousness, constipa- tion, stomach trouble or rheumatism an enthusiast for internal sanitation.

May Clear Mystery
 of Missing Vessel

Miami, Fla, Oct. 15.-Hope that the mystery surrounding the loss of the Spanish steamer Valbanera with it's crew and passengers totaling 450 persons may be cleared up soon has been revived by reports reaching here that Cuban expedition is be- ing prepared to explore the wreck off Rebecca. Shoals.
 The American government, accord ing to the report, has asked for per- mission to salvage the valuable car- go of wines and liquors and other merchandise aboard the foundered ship.
 No reports of the finding of bod. ies from the Valbanera have been verified. The theory held in Hav- ana it is said that the vessel was cut in half when it struck a reef, thus accounting for the fact that no life. boats were launched.

Sale of Firearms
 at Helena Stopped

Helena, Ark, Oct. 15.-An order issued by Judge Jackson directs the sheriff to "at once search all hard ware stores and other places of busi- ness in the county of Phillips and state of Arkansas, and take posses sion of all pistols and ammunition found in said places" and hold all such pistols and ammunition until further orders from the court. At tempts on the part of owners or managers to obstruct search of their premises are to be reported imme- diately to Judge Jackson.
 In most instances, hardware men had already boxed their firearms and ammunition and sent them to the sheriff's office.
 Judge Jackson gave no reason for the order to Sheriff Kitchens, but it is assumed that his notice was to prevent further sale of firearms and ammunition to irresponsible parties. Hardware merchants, prior to insur- rection, eported heavy sales of guns, rifles and ammunition to negroes in this county.

BASE BALL

The Young Boys of Island Pond
visited Camp Winappe last Friday,
and had very enjoyable time. The
Winappe Boys were rather stronger
than our younsters, but nevertheless
the Island Pond boys played very
plucky game. All were more OF less
nervous at the start, it being some
thing new to them to play on dia-
mond, such as there is provided at the
Camp, and the expert young players
whom they opposed put fever into
them. But Mr.. A. Speers gave the
youngsters every encouragement,
even when great odds were against
them, as will be seen, innings had
began, with a score of 18 to nit in
favor of the Camp boys and at tn
conclusion of the 7th inning the
youngsters put on 10. The final
score was 22 to 10 in favor of Camp
Winappe, as it was only inning
game. The star player of our boys
was evidently Richard Morrisette,
when he came into the box, things
were looking serious but Richard
soon found his nerve, and pitched in
beautiful style, it must be saidthat
Morrisette did not pitch until the
start Of the 4th inning. Two other
pitchers being tried before him, viz ::
Raymond Tracy ana Gerard CASTOR
quay, although the Camp boys mas
tered their pitching as the scores
then indicated. F. Danforth also
played a .plucky game, as did C. Will
son and Stanley Seymour, who was
the teams catcher. Raymond Tracy
on third was nervous for a greater
part of the game, but rallied after
the 4th. inning started, and did some
useful work. r. Melcher on End. was
successful in putting two of the Camp
Boys out which helped greatly to en-
courage our youngsters. E. Letour.
neau missed some good catches, and
felt little at sea in his position.
On Saturday next the Island Ponc
boys will visit North Stratford, tt
play the team of that own. Mr.. A
P Speers will again accompany anc
take full charge of our youngsters
They will leave by the 2:15 P. M
! train and will arrive back at 7:3O P

The Government clerks in Wash
ington are always wanting something
it seems. All in all they have things
pretty soft, as it were, but never
the less they are always crying out
for more. They have thirty days an
nual leave from their duties each
year, thirty days sick leave, conven-
lent working hours, lots of other
holidays from time to time land pref
ty good pay, most of them, but the
the truth is that they are like spoil
ed children. All thru the summer
they have been released from work
at l o'clock. Now they want to get
away from work at / o'clock on ev-
cry Saturday the year round. 1t is
good thing that the Government
does not run it's affairs like a private
corporation or business or else it
would have to go out of business be
cause of too many clerks, short hour
and general leniency all around.
