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."

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."

A Now York dispatch to the St.
Mollis Globe-Democrat says: "Con
gressman II. T. 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. While tho commissariat
was supposed to serve food at cost,
stewards, ho said, wore ordered to
i'uiui.' ii iiruiii ui ui least .ou to $(H) a
wopk. Shoes that could be bought in
road upon whom service could be per
fected an attachment against the
freight car was secured and an order
has boon taken in the superior court
directing its sale at public outcry, the
proceedings to be held pending a re
sult of a damage suit brought against
the company by Charles Brown.

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.
