Speaking of material greed as the
enemy of Kingliness the Rector
said. A man is a dethroned King
when he experiments on the belief
that material wealth is omnipotent.
There is a spirit of the age which
breaches the gospel of gold on al
most every street corner and in the
public press and the voices that pro
claims it are strident, strenuous,
urgent. Gold we are told is the key
that unlocks doors: the couplet reads.
The strongest castle, tower or town
The golden bullet breaks it down.

ties, TO lift purpose into achievement

ual training that points you to
a better purpose for the building of
Your life and honor, earth's hoarse
voices would be ceaselessly dinning
into your ears. Wealth will do a
great deal-either of good or harm
but when we are told that it is abso-
lutely necessary TO a mans happi
ness, to his greatness, TO his regal
worth we are told a shameful false
hood Westminster Abbey is not
full of the monuments of millionaires.
If the lack of money is capable of

is it not a vsrv curious contra
diction that the Poets corner in that
famous Abbey commentaries a glor-
ious company of paupers; and that
the only way in which a millionaire
has ever become. famous has been
by giving his money away. If power
ty has stifed genius, and it has very
likely wealth and its abuse have
stified it sooner and far more effec-
tually.
The Preachers address was full
of beautiful Illustrations and sharp
telling points.
The great congregation was held in
absolute quiet while he described
the self sacrifice of true Priest, and
ridiculed the fear of what men call
Priest craft And when he described
motherhood, and the Sacrificial Sac
erdotal Element in a living tod
fearing motherhood, many of the
large number present were moved to
tears.
1t is certain that the attendance of
the American Mechanics and Daugh-
ters of Liberty at church this year
was an event long to be remembered
and the pleasant thing about it viii
always be the memory of simple but
earnest, straigh forward sermon
from the pulpit which was calculated
to ennoble all who heard it.

SALT FORK LIVE srocK ASSOCIATIONS.
A Successful Meeting held in this City on SAT-
urday, at Which 1t was Unanlmously Or
dered that Organisation be Maintained.

The members of the Salt Fork Live
Stock Association, pursuant to call,
met In this city on Saturday. April 1e,
and by unanimous vote reconsidered
the action OF consolidating the Salt
Fork Association with the Oklahoma
Association. The meeting amounted
to reorganization and all the details
connected Herewith were gone
through. The officers of the associa-
ton, elected, are as follows:
President-W. G. Millar.
Vice President-D. T. McIntire.
Secretary-J. w. DeGeer.
Treasurer. r. Holmes.
The executive committee, On motion,
was increased from seven to nine, and
the first three officers were made mem
bers and officers ex-officio. The re-
naming members were appointed by
the president and are, Geo. W. Hend-
rlckson, c. F. Biddle, Marion Grouse,
0. Mills, Geo. Sombart, b. A. Bailey.
Semi-annual meetings will be held on
the 1st Friday of March and Septem-
Der. The March meeting to be held at
Medicine Lodge and the September
meeting at Coldwater.
The executive committee were in
structed to make application for men,
bership in the state association, and
the matter of inspection was exhaus-
lively discussed. The officers of the
association, as well as all the members,
express themselves as being DESTROYS of
standing their part of the expense
toward securing proper inspection and
1t is probable that the Salt Fork Asso-
citation will work with the Oklahoma
ASSOCIATION for that pupose.
The membership was increased by
thirty more names and it promises to
grow.
We are not fortunate enough to he a
cattleman, but we believe that the Salt
Fork Association has done the proper
thing. 1t will not only promote their
own interests but it will inure to the
benefit of the entire country immedi-
ately surrounding. There is no end to
the benefits derived from such an asso-
ciation-benefits which could not be
received by the Woodward association
on account of the fact that the terri
tory would be too great.
The meeting was we'll attended and
every man favored maintaining the as
ISOLATION. They realize that member
snip in the Oklahoma association is al
most worthless and at the same time
no cattle country can afford TO BIZ with
out an association. From this time on
the success of the organization will be
assured and all stockmen Will see the
advantage of enrolling.

Last Wednesdays Kansas City Star
contained the intelligence that z. A.
Simmons was arrested in New York
City on the charge of embezzling S24.-
600. Mr.. Simmons was, at the time of
his arrest, cashier for Blair & Co. He
was cashier of the First National Bank
In this city from 1884 to 1889, when the
bank was owned principally by j. A.
Blair and o. G. Ewart. When Messrs.
Blair and Ewart disposed of the bank
here they established the FidelityTrust
Co.. at Kansas City. and again made
Mr.. Simmons cashier. Later they went
to New York and organized the Blair
& Co., firm so that Simmons has been
steady employee with them. This
misfortune is generally regretted by all
who knew Mr.. Simmons and all his ac-
quairtances hope that he may be able
to establish his innocence. He was
recognized as among the most honora-
BILE OF men, pious. and of the highest
integrity.
