celebration of the thirty-third anniver-

norman is the esteemed and first presi-
dent of the Sisters lodge of the Sons of
Herman, and the guests included all the

douply happy by the fact that Ii Was the
first time that Mr.. Zimmerman was able
to be among his friends again, after several
months confinement, the result OF broken

Mrs. Zimmerman received number OF
pretty presents, among them being a
beautiful bouquet OF flowers, presented by

DEspERADoEs AT WORK.
An Effort 70 Rob Came Near Resulting In a
Double Murder.

Passengers who came in over the Rock
Island last night report a villainous act of
outlawry yesterday at North Enid John
Kelly lives on the east side Of the Rock
Island track, By himself, and for some
time past there has been a story
current that he had in his posses
sion quite a good deal OF money
belonging to few friends who are hold
ing down claims outside or town.
Yesterday morning an armed band OF
would-be desperadoes rode up to his
shack and ordered him to shell out.
He did not comply and they poured
the contents Of a shotgun into his
room, wounding him quite severely
about the shoulders and face. Another
of the desperados fired another slot
which entered the room OF a man named
Hutchinson and came very near killing
him. The shooting so alarmed the town
that the desperadoes thought IL wise TO
leave aud turned their horses west and
gallopcd away at full speed without Sc
curing any booty A posse followed them
as soon as it could be organized and At last
accounts they had them cornered. 1t was
further related that the feeling runs high
at Enid, aud that people are talking OF
ropes and telegraph poles.

ANOTHER RUSH.
AIloting the Kickapoo Lands Was Commenced
Yesterday Morning.

Yesterday morning Major Moses Neal.
ailotting agent. commenced his work al
lotiug lands to the Kickapoo Indians in
the Indian Territory.
For two or three weeks be has been
working with the Indians endeavoring to
get them 20 listen to reason. and at times
became almost discouraged a5 their stub

one after another came over To his side uu-
til now be has majority OF the tribe on

OF Shawness have made hii2 most of The
trouble by sending his emissaries 10 the

that band, WAS exceedingly troublesome

eight townships. or nearly 1850 acres. TO
be opened TO settlement. He estimates
that the work of allotipg will take ninety
days or more, and if there are any obstrep-
erous Indians left after all the voluntary
are made, thirty days more Will
be consumed before the work is
entirely completed: 50 i, will be March or
April before the surplus land can be
opened TO settlement. The country has
been sectionized but not divided into
quarters and eighths, and in many Cases
the section corners have been destroyed,
so that the work will be quite difficult
without complete survey. This reserva-
ton is the only rirnainlng one to bs open

WHAT is THE ANSWER
To the Editor Of the Eagle.

To the Editor OF the EagIe-
The attendants at the service of the
First NJ. E. church last Sabbath were
treated to feast for mind aud soul. The
calm of the day succeeding night OF
storm lent charm TO the house OF wor-
ship. The soft prismatic light which fell
from the vari colored windows shed a
peaceful radiance into every heart. while
the swelling notes of the organ rose
heavenward, lifting the affections TO that
real of seraphic melody which we fondly
picture as the home of the soul. The pre-
vailing quiet OF the vast congregation told
of the love and reverence enthoned in
the breast Of every true worshiper,
while the almost tangible presence
of the Divine Ruler shed a heavenly bene-
diction upon the assembled multitude.
The pastor took for his text the familiar
in,errogatory of Pontius PLATE: What
shall I do with Jesus, which IS called
Christ ?" The sermon was in nowise dis
cussive. though it abounded in strong
positions and in richness of illustration.
II was simple appeal to the congrega-
tlon suggested by the words of the text
what shall l DO with Christi" 1t was
not the Christ OF Catholicism, Unitarian
ism or Armenianism. 1t was not the
Christ of philosophy, of science or OF
reason. 1t was not the sectarlan
Christ. But the Christ of Love and
Mercy, which the speaker commended
with an earnestness and feryor which
trooked no evasion of the appeal. Indi-
vidual responsibility will not be cfaced
by the lapse of time or change OF condi-
lions. There is no period in life at which
we are exhonorated from the duty Of a
condid, seif-conscious rsply to the text.
As The writer left the service there came
the involuntary thought-if the pastor
should accomplish nothing moro on earth
than to enforce full ard truthful ans
wer to his text. from even score OF his
congregation, his mission in the world
would be great indeed
Who will presume not to answer. Christ
comes across our way, and in some
way must be disposed of. Twenty
centuries Of investigation have not shaken
the simple story OF His life and reign. The
best OK our literature and the greatest
scientific achievements have developed
side by side with the Christian religion.
Is it myth, and do the real, tangible
things which are patent TO the UNDERSTAND
ing grow fungus-like upon legendary
faIlacy: Granting this, the answer would
be easy. If Christ was pretender and a
cheat the man VINO made the discovery
would live in the hearts of un born millions
as the greatest character in history. no
one could be excused from his
part of plain duty-that of show
ing up the utter futility of Christ
and his church. If there was even a
reasonable hypothesis upon which this
page of history might be reported. or if
intelligence and numbers, to u respectable
degree. should rise up against it, the bur-
den of responsibility would be lighter,
but under the existing order Of things no
one can escape the ever pursuing shadow
of logic and reason which nationally calls
for the answer pro or con. ARGUS.

VISIT FROM MISSOURI PACIFIC OF.
FfClAiS

W B. Doddrige, general manager. and
II. b. Clark. general superintendent of the
Missouri Pacific railway system arrived in
the city by special at p. m. yesterday,
spending several hours looking over the
terminal and division yards and interests
at this point with Superintendent Hsriing
and Assistant Superintendent Webb.
Their train was sidetracked at Twelfth
street and they remained over night. re-
turning east this morning. They did not
give out the particular business that called
them TO Wichita. In general talk Gen
eral Manager Doddr;dge spoke very hope
fully of the near future, of its business
aud enterprlsing developments for the
west. The Missouri Pacific system like
ali the business interests of the country,
great and small, I'D suffered from the late
squeeze. many Of its subsid-
larry lines, links aud branches failing TO
meet their operating expenses, but the
system as whole is getting into n prom
isipg shape aud was never more solid.
