A bottle OF gasoline and two men
A. E. Clark and Marion ] Johnson
created some excitement around on
Washington avenue Saturday after
noon. The former had the bottle.
He pulled the cork to give Marion a
smell to convince the latter that it
was gasoline. The bottle dropped
from Clark's hands. About the
same time he had a match in his
hand. Without thinking he drew
the latter across the seat of his
pants. There was an instant fame,
fire leaping from the burning gaso-
line and vapor arising from the side
walk, and also from the paperin one
of the cellar windows. A general
smothering followed. No harm done
Clark was bottle of gasoline out.

The Hon. Tams Bixby, who is a
member of the Dawes Indian COM
mission, which is receiving a few
hunts from the public just now, says
that the commission wants an in
vestigation. He admits that he is
interested in several land COM
panies having interest down around
the Indian strip in the territory,
but claims that right as a private
investor. The right is probably
sacred, but the government needs
a law preventing any of its office
holders from taking advantage o.
official knowledge in order to en-
nance private gain. When Tan
gets through he will probably admit
this.

CALL FOR PRAYER.
Movement in Opposition to the West
minister Chance.

New York, Feb. 26.-The Twentieth
Century Gospel Legislation commit
tee composed of prominent ministers
and laymen of the different evangelical
denominations has issued an appeal to
the ministers and Christian public ask
ing that a day be kept as day OF hu-
initiation and prayer. Various topics
are renumerated, for which at the
present time. the appeal says, there
is pressing call for prayer. The nfst
on the list is For return to absolute
faith in the Bible, as the inspired, au-
thoritative word of God, and as furn-
ishing the churches their only Gre
dentials and messages; and for an
immediate revival of earnest and sys-
tematic study of that word In order
to learn what God would have us DO
in the present conditions"
This appeal of prayer is one phase Oh
the movement in opposition to the re-
vision of Westminster confession OF
faith. The changes in the confession
were approved by the general assembly
and by majority of Presbyterians last
year and can not formally be incor-
porated in the confession until the next
general assembly. Meanwhile those
opposed to the changes are active.
