DIED OF RTDROPHOBIA.

This morning at 9:20, lit
tie Edna May Jackson died of by
drophobie, aged ten years. This
little girl came to Chickasha about
six weeks ago, with her mother,
Mrs. Ida M. .Jackon. They are
from Corsicsna, Texas. and were
living at 1920 9th street.
The first symptoms of illness
were observed last Friday. The
little girl seemed 10 want water
but when it appeared, she became
violent. Medical aid was sum
moned, but nothing could be
done to save the little one. On
Sunday afternoon at a consulta-
ton of prominent Chickasha ply
sicians it was decided that the
case was too far advanced to be
checked.
1t was not definitely known
when the little one was bitten.
Before the family came from Tex,
six weeks ago, the child received a
bite from a small Scotch TERROR.
Some of the friends of the family
state their belief to be that the
child was bitten or scratched by
cat since she came to Chickasha.
1t is peculiarly sad case and
the bereaved family have the
sympathy of the entire community

A RICH CHURCH.

It was announced at the opening ses-
sion of the New York Conference of
the Methodist Church. North. on
Wednesday that of the s2oOOO,O 900 Of
the Twentieth Century Thank Offering,
which this church proposed to raise,
$4,000, 900 was in hand. The opinion
was expressed that there was no doubt
that the entire amount would be OBJ
tanned. This is a wonderful achieve
ment. 1t must not be forgotten that
this money is being raised in addition
TO the regular charges of the church.
1t has not been so very many years
since the Methodist Church was COM
posed mainly of people having but little
wealth. It's growth has been rapid, and
it now numbers among its members
some of the richest people of the coun-
try. 1t has magnificent church prop
critics in every part of the country.
1t may be a question whether it is
as powerful an agency for good as
when it possessed less wealth. 1t may
be that in the localities in which the
richest congregations are found it
has lost something of the earnest,
spiritual life which characterized the
Methodist Church half a century ago,
but there are thousands of congrega-
tons all over the country in which the
worldly influences of wealth have as
yet made no impression.
And it is said that the efforts that
have been made, and which are still
being made. to raise the Twentieth
Century Thank Offering has had a
wonderful revivifying effect-an effect
so marked that it is hoped that there
will be a general revival.
