A Guthrie, Okla., dispatch says: "The constitution for the new state of Oklahoma is being printed and will be ready for circulation the middle o next week. It covers 12JI pages hi book form and contains 100,000 word. It is more than twice as largo as any other state constitution of tho TJnftcd States. The lougest constitution of any existing state is that of Louisiana, which contains 45,000 words. Vir ginia stands second with 85,000 ami Alabama third with 33000 words. The shortest constitution is that of Rhode rsland, with (5,000 words, and the av erage length of the state constitutions of tho union is 15,500 words. Tho groat length of the Oklahoma consti tution is duo to the large amount jf pure legislation contained in the doc ument. The railroad and pubNc ser vice corporation chapter, for example, contains 7,000 words, or is longer than the entire constitution of the state of Rhode rsliind. This chapter is almost wholly legislative, containing all of tho statute laws of Texas governing rail roads and public service corporations, in addition to a number of now legis lative provisions." tho United States for $3 a pair wore sold by tho commissariat, tho con gressman declared, at $8 a nalr.

An Associated Press dispatch from Now York says: "Frank W. Hill, a stenographer, was arrested tonight charged with .having sold to a news paper a personal letter of E. H. Harri man. Tho warrant was sworn to by Alexander Millar, secretary of the Union Pacific Railroad company, of which Mr. IlarrJman is president. Tho letter In question was addressed by Mr. Harriman to Sydney Webster, and was first published here by the World last Tuesday morning. Statements therein contained called forth a reply from President Roosevelt Tuesday af ternoon. Hill Is thirty-seven, years old and lives in Brooklyn. Action! against Hill Avas taken under the sec tion of the penal code which defines as a misdemeanor the act of a per son who wilfully and without author ity either takes a letter, telegram or private paper belonging to another, or a copy thereof, and publishes, the whole, or any portion thereof.' As sistant District Attorney Paul Krotel has charge of the case, and it was said the arrest Will, it is believed, discour age the publication of letters of an other prominent man, which, accord ing to report recently had been of fered for sale."

Rainey of' Illinois, af ter spending eight days in the Panama canal .one, today returned here, en thusiastic over the progress made, but most uniavorably Impressed with the management of the commissary de partment. A careful Investigation of tho commissariat, Mr. Rainey believes, would bring to light a scandal 'second only to the meat scandal of the Spanish-American war.' Tho chief trouble he thought lay in the fact that meat arriving at tho Isthmus well preserved was not mot at tho dock, as was sup posed, by refrigerator cars, but instead was leisurely transferred in a tempera ture of between SO and 90 -ogree's, with the result that, unless served with a strong garlic dressing or gravy, It, was unpalatable, air. Rainey said that ho would prove that .the lunch scrvtil to tho congressional party that recently visited the isthmus, Mind which was; supposed to consist of the same menu served daily to canal workers at a cost of no cents a man, was in reality or dered five days in advance, and cost $1.05 a plate.

ORIGINALITY REWARDED Former Senator Guy says he thought he had boon "touched" by all sorts of beggars, but a man he met hi Fifth avenue sprang a new dodge on him, says the Now York Press. 'Bog pardon boss, but won't you please help 'a sick man?" said 'the mendicant. "What ails you?" kindly enquired the former secretary. "Well, you see, it's tliis way; I've got a prescription that a doctor gave me, and " "Oh, I understand, you want monev enough to get it filled?" "No indeed, sir! I've got the medi cine, but it says on tho bottle that I must take the doso after eating. Now all I need Is tho prico of a meal." Mr. Guy gave a dime to tho man. He thinks anyone who can invnnf ai. I a story is entitled to the money. C. E. BROOKS, Tho Inventor solutely hold the rupturo and never slip and yet is light, cool, oomfortablo, conforms to every movement of the body without chafing or hurtimr and costs less than many ordinary trusses. There aro no springs or hard, lumpy pads and yet it holds the rupturo safoly and ilrmly without pain or inconvenience. I have put the prico so low that any person, rich or poor, can buy, and I absolutely guarantee it. I make it o your order send it to you you wear it, and if it doesn't tatisfy you send it back to me and,I will refund your money. That is the fairest proposition ovor made by a rupturo specialist. Tho banks or any respons ible citizen in Marshall -will toll you that is tho way I do business always . absolutely on tho square. If you have tried most everything else, come to mo. Whoro others fail is whero I have my greatest success. Write me today and I will send you my book on Rupturo and its Cure, showing my appliance and giving you pricos and names of people who have tried it and been uureu. j.c is instant reiier wuen all others' fall. Remember I use no salves, no harness, no lies. Just a straight business deal at a reasonable orico. C. E.
