find the sign of Leo rising in the east
with no planet in the ascendant The sun
is in favorable aspect in midheaVcn, but
the other planetary conditions are more
or less evil. The benign influence of
Jupiter is weakened by its position in
the twelfth house in the sign of Cancer.
Saturn and Herschal in conjunction in

in opposition to the neon. Mars in con-
junction with the moon, and Mercury ses-
uuiquadrate to Saturn, all of which are
most evil aspects. The position of the sun
would show that Mayor Bailey will, with
out doubt serve out his term Of Office, but
stormy times and much dissatisfaction
will prevail during his term.
Mayor Bailey was born under the sign
of Tarus with Moon in Virgo. Owing to
planetary influence he lacks the indc-
pcndoncc of character and force in carry
ing out his ends that are usually found
in persons born under Taurus.

Cusslon Of the paper and it was the

tween parents and teachers would
make suspensions almost unnecessary.

BRAKEMAN's SAD DEATH.
Charles Brady Instantly Killed While
Coupling Cars.

Charles Brady of Providence, a Della
ware and Hudson brakeman, employed
on Conductor Frank Callender's train,
was instantly killed by being run over
while coupling cars between the elec-
trio light station and Carbon street.
Two gondolas were taken out Of the
electric light house switch and attached
to the train. Brady, it is supposed,
went between the cars to couple the
hose and while thus engaged the train
was started, in response to a signal
given by another brakeman who was
at the head end.
Brady's comrades found him short
time later lying beside the track with
his skull crushed and life extinct.
The unfortunate man was one of the
veteran employees of the company, hav-
ing been on the road for thirty-two
years. He is survived by six mother
less children. He was a member of II.
A. Mace lodge, No 157, Brotherhood of
Railroad Trainment.
The funeral will take place Wednes-
day afternoon at o'clock. lnterment
will be made in the cathedral cemetery.

were to be no evangelistic tricks in
these services: it was through the Holy
Ghost that the regeneration of souls
would be made. What was wanted
was the power of God in these meet
ings.
IL is unlikely cases that the Holy
Spirit often selects. Zaccheus was
poor little wretch down I'm Jericho.
He was the worst kind of a humble
reprobate, an outcast Jew. But he
wanted to sec Jesus and he had hard
fighting, but he did see the Master.
1t was to this mean little man. tax
gather that Jesus spoke. His name
was a misnomer.
Zaccheus means pure, but it is often
the desperate cases, the ones
deemed by the world outside the pale
of salvation upon whom the Holy
Ghost descends.
The address throughout was given
the most thoughtful attention. Meet
ings will be continued through the
week The afternoon meetings will be
held at 4 o'clock.

SEVENTH ANNIVERSARY.
Exercises Held at the Rescue Mis-
sion Last Night.

Short but enjoyable exercises were
conducted at the Rescue mission rooms
on Franklin avenue last night and
the room was comfortably crowded by
those in attendance. The affair was
in honor of its being the seventh an
niversary of the organization of the
mission and should have been held
last Monday evening, but was post
poned owing to the snow storm.
An additional cause for pleasure
could probably be found in the fact
that Mr.. Sanborn was formally well
coined back to his work at the mis-
sion after an absence of several
months by reason of i'll health. j. L.
Stelle, vice president of the mission
board of management presided last
night The exercises We're opened

KEYSTONE REPUBLICAN CLUB.
Held a Very Interesting Meeting
Last Night.

The keystone Republican club held a
rally at the New American Hotel last
evening. President Crapbell Hughes
presided and made the address Of the
evening. In part he said:
1T is well to tell the truth. The
Democratic party means well but ac-
complshes nothing. 1t is always prom
isng something and never able to
perform what # undertakes to do.
On the other hand, the Republican
party not only means well, but does
well. Every city and every state as
well as the entire nation owe their
prominence in peace, plenty, progress
and prosperity to that party"
The other features of the occasion
We're the Carl Brothers instrumental
duets and John Roney in guitar solo.
John Strange sang several selections
and Walter Miller presided at the
piano. Much enthusiasm was manifest
ed and three hurrahs for the entire Re
publican ticket were given with will

DIR. GINNER TO LEAVE US.
Sheriff Comes on from st. Paul with
Necessary Papers.

Sheriff Wagner, on whose telegram
DR. Samuel George Ginner was ar
rested, arrived here yesterday with
extradition papers and will today start
back for the West with his noted pris-
Oner.
Sheriff Wagner does not express any
high opinions of DIR. Ginners honesty,
and intimates that ne is not to be
taken too seriously in his pretensions
of sanctity. In short metre, it is to
be gathered from the sheriff's conver-
sation that the Bishop" is not looked
upon in st. Paul as being all that one
might take him to be after reading
the articles which appeared i'm some
of the local papers.

MAINTAIN THE NATIONAL GUARD

MAINTAIN THE NATIONAL GUARD.
The legislature ought not for a
moment to entertain the idea of wiping
out the national guard of this terri
tory. II would be a blunder that
would hurt the fair name Of Okla
homa more than one conld estimate.
Not state or territory In the whole
union is without nstional guard or.
ganization, and for this magnificent
territory with her 4OO, 900 intelligent
and progressive people to say to the
national government that il will not
keep pace with the progress Of the
age in respect to her military equip
ment, weuld be most unfortunate. II
would be a setback to her in the eyes
Of the nation which she could not af-
ford to accept. The 5000 a year in
valuable supplies would be lost TO
her at once, besides all the military
property and equipments OF every char
acter would have to be gathered up
and returned TO the general govern
ment at the expense of the territory.
II there be wrongs committed
charge IT TO those administering the
law and not the rank and file of the
national guard. Correct the law but
maintain the military organization.

rs he IN CONTEMPT.

The Biddison committee met last
evening at 7 o'clock, but concluded to
hear no testimony, and Immediately
went into executive session TO discuss
the question of the auditors refusal to
obey the subpoena, and the means
necessary to compel obedience. The
committee very freely eoncede the
fact that unless this can be done the
investigation is virtually at an end,
as without these warrant stubs and
vouchers it is impossible for the COM
mittee to know anything OF the con-
dition Of the auditors Office or any
other Of the territorial department
offices.
The joint committee after examin-
ing the law as to It's powers and an
exchange Of opinion that they had
full authority TO compel the produc
tion Of the papers demanded, agreed
upon basis OF procedure and to re-
port resolution to the legislature
citing the auditor to appear before
the legislative assembly for contempt.
They win proceed under the follow
log statute:
In case of refusal OF witness be-
fore the investigating committee, the
law provides that the witness so re-
fusing may be judged guilty and pun
ished for contempt. Under section 81
Of the statutes OF Oklahoma which
read ss follows:
Punishment for contempt shall DO
by fine or imprisonment or both, as
the house may direct. Imprisonment
shall be effected by warrant under
the hands of the presiding officer of
the house ordering il, countersigned
by the chief clerk, running in the
name Of the territory and directed to
the sergeant-At-arms or sheriff or
jailor OF the proper county. Under
such warrant, the proper officer will
be authorized to commit and detain
the person; but Imprisonment for con.
tempt shall not extend beyond the
session at which the legislative as
sembly is then sitting. Fines shall
be collected by similar warrant di-
Tected to any proper officer in any
county in which the offender has
property and executed in the same
manner as executions issued for fines
from courts of record, and the pro-
ceeds shall be paid into the territorial
treasury. The sergeant-at-arms shall
see that the one sentenced TO inn
prssonment is duly delivered to the
proper jailor, Provided, That a mem
Der Of the legislative assembly shall
only be punished by eensure or ex.
pulsion."
