steve Burke.

Steve Burke got in from Arkan-
sas City last night, where he has
been for nearly three weeks hold
ing revival meetings at First Bap-
tist church. The meetings were a
success, many souls saved. besides
a wonderful church revival. Steve
is beginning to be known as the
most successful temperance worker
and evangelist in the Territory.
He has a large list of calls before
him.-Pawnee Dispatch.
Steve Burke was formerly an
Ardmoreite and lived here several
years. Like others he had frail-
ties which he fought hard against.
He left here and became an Office
deputy marshal in Oklahoma, and
later attended a series of religious
meetings and was converted. He
said he had been called by the Lord
to labor ia His vineyard, and the
ARDMOREITE rejOices to know that
he is a successful worker.

Manila, May 8.-Insurgents who
gathered in force about Bacolor, a
few miles southeast of San Fer
nando, attempted today to inter-
rupt the army gunboats, Laguna
de Bay and Cavadonga, which are
establishing a water base for the
army supplies at Guagua, four
miles southwest of Bacolor. The
rebels opened fire on the gunboats
from the trenches at Sexmoan and
Guagua, the sharpshooters at
tempting to pick off the Americans.
The gunboats, which had not pre-
vieusly done any firing, returned
the insurgents fire, shelling their
trenches and bombarding the towns
of Sexmoan and Guagua. There
were no casualties on the American
side. BacOlor will be the next
center of American operations. A
force of several thousand Filipinos
is gathered there, it is believed,
with the intention of fianking Nc
Arthur's left and diverting his
movements against the Filipinos
army to the northward. The reD-
els at Bacolor are we'll armed and
strongly entrenched.

We belong to the fellows who

rather roost behind an old kraut bar

We have never had to climb tree to

pistol, which he supposed was empued or

had, and Gassway laughingly told him
that he would shoot him for it. and TAX
