Rev. ]. G. Cromer returned from Cher
ryville, Saturday, where he has been
preaching during the week. The people
there are very much stirred up over the
smallpox and the utmost precautions
are being taken. No Sunday school
or preaching services are being heid,
and there is no congregating on the
streets. The mills are running; but all
persons who have in any way been ex-
posed have been excluded from the
MILL The required regulation went
into effect Sunday. The streets are
practically deserted. But in just few
DAYS it is hoped and expected that the
condition will be changed and the fright
over Parks Huffstetler had a cary
ing at his barn Thursday morning
when his two Negro tenants started to
work. Tom Crawford and Will Nealy
are two Negroes with families, and got
into a quarrel over their women. AS
a result, Crawford let into Nealy with
a knife, and covered his body with flesh
wounds, and left him in blood. One
cash in his side took Is stitches, anoth-
er in his shoulder took IA stitches.
Crawford gathered some Of his clothing
and hastened to leave. He was pursued
by hounds for some distance; but was
not caught. Efforts are still being
made to capture Crawford. Crawford
was not injured. Mr.. Huffstetler is out
of help just at time when he needs
it most on his farm. 1t was at first
thought that the Negro would die; but
now he may recover.

1T is against the law to introduce in
toxicating liquor into the Indian Terri
tory, whatever it's name, whatever its
composition; If it intoxicates 1t Is
against the law to introduce it; it is
against the law to sell it; it Is against
the law to give it away. Suppose you
buckle on the armor good and strong
this morning. and looking back to the
solemn oath you have taken, conclude
that you will help the officers Of the
law in driving out, eXterminating If we
can, the sale of intoxicating liquors.
The man who steals away my horse
and I think a horse thief is pretty
bad man-is a gentleman and good
citizen compared to the whisky seller,
to the man who deliberately steals my
brain, my sense; and the bread of my
wife and children; not Of me alone,
but of hundreds of men in every COM
munity where homes are blighted
through the greed and crime Of men
who sell whisky.
why, the man who will sell whisky
is so much meaner than a thousand
horse thieves that he is not to be men,
toned in the same year. to say nothing
of the same week or month. A man
who sells whisky Is the meanest man
Of his kind. If a man wants to get a
bottle of whisky and take a drink him
self, have nothing to say about that,
that is a matter Of taste, and If man
happens to be over in Arkansas or Tex
as or Oklahoma and puts bottle of
whisky in his pocket for his own use,
the law was never intended to reach
cases of that kind. We can't fool away
time on such cases as that. The case
intended to be reached by the law are
where men bring in intoxicating liquors
for the purpose of selling it."-Kansas

to the Chickasaw Grand Jury.

Judge ThOmns's Temperance Talk
to the ChicI<asav Grand Jury.
In his charge to the grand jury at
Paul's Valley, Chickasaw Nation, the
other day, Judge John R. Thomas, OF
the United States district court, deliver
ed a scathing indictment of unlawful
liquor selling as we'll as a quantity put
temperance sermon.
about eight-tenths of the crimes
committed in the Indian Territory,
said his honor, ''can be traced directly
10 the immoderate use of Intoxicating
liquor. If the devil has been able to
find one agent for mischief more potent
than all the others, it is intoxicating
liquors. 1 don't drink myself; but If
man wants to take a drink / don't OBJ
ject to it, if he feels he can stand it.
I used to drink some and I am pretty
thorough Americans l never liked to
go up against game that l could not
beat sometimes, and they always could
make whisky faster than / could drink
it. That was not all that made me quit
its use either. When I came to preside
as Judge and had to sentence men to
the penitentiary for introducing liquor,
I felt and knew that in order to MAN.
tain my self-respect I had to be on
pretty good terms with the fellow l
slept with, and I could not be guilty
Of the same crime and conscientiously
enforce the law.

OFF THE TRAcK.-The following story
is told by a traveller about one of the
local railways in Ireland:
We were bounding along, he said, at
the rate of about seven miles an hour
and the whole train was shaking badly
I expected every moment to see my
bones protruding through my skin. Pas
sengers were rolling from one end OF
the carriage to the other. held on hrm-
ly to the arms of the seat. Presently we
settled down a bit quieter-at least l
could keep my hat on and my teeth
didn't chatter.
There was a quiet looking man op-
posite me. I looked up with ghastly
smile, wishing to appear cheerful, and
said:
I'VE are going little smoother, I
see.'
Yes" he said; we're off the line
now."-Spare Moments.
