SERVICES AT
THE STATE ST A FARM
Ministers Are Beginning to
Take InterestNln This
Settlement. NJ

It Is q rather curious fact that for
years there have scarcely been any ser
vices of religious character at the
State Farm, which has regular popu-
lation Of nearly $50 men. representing
the lowest grade Of morals. The min
listers Of the city. however, are beginning
to manifest an interest in the farm and
it is probable that regular services will
be conducted from now on.
Dr.. John Moncure. Episcopal city mis-
sionary, has recently paid several visits
to the place. On two of these visits he
held nine services, some in tho public
dining hall and some in the hospital
wards. He also distributed papers and
Bibles and portions Of the Scripture
among the prisoners, every one being
supplied with some religious literature
Very much appreciation was shown by
both officials and prisoners, and, al
though not within tho bounds OF hts
Richmond work. DR.. Moncure will pursue
his efforts in this direction.
The Baptist ministers are also begin
Ming to look in the direction Of the State
Farm. At the instance of Mr.. T, H.
Elicit. prominent layman, they have
agreed to conduct services there during
the coming month, E

TOOK DAUGHTER HOME.
Girl Seemed Less Nervous When Her
Father Was Present.

FL Reno, o. T., Aug. H.-Relative to
the case of Mrs. Alena Reid who was
insane in this city, the Democrat says:
The father of Miss Alena Reed who was
adjudged insane yesterday and cared for
by the authorities arrived from his home
at Aline in Woods county, Oklahoma
and took his daughter home with him
this morning.
The father was of course much affected
by the occurance and said il was the
first symptoms of anything wrong with
the young lady's mind and believes it
TO be merely a temporar delusion that
will quickly pass away under the influence
and companionship of the home circle.
Miss Reed has been visiting a brother
at Duncan and had never travelled on a
railroad to any extent and the father
thinks she became bewildered by some
thing that occurred and that no serious
results will follow She was delighted
to see her parent and seemed less nerv-

scene and talked with her.

ARE NOT PLEASING.
Governor Ferguson Answers Some OF
the Newspaper Assertions.

Guthrie, o. T.. Aug. 21-For some time
past there have been number of news
paper comments on the selection of Fred
L. Wenner as secretary of the school
land department. These newspaper ar
tfcles have not been pleasing to Gov
ernor Ferguson. and in this weeks issue
of the Watonga Republican, under the
caption of ''They Squeal,' the governor
says:
The effort on the part of three or four
fellows around certain Office in the
territory to use Kansas City paper 10
create an impression 10 the effect that
the appointment OF Fred L. Wenner as
secretary of the school land board was
not sa tisfactory to the politicians, has
proven failure. In the first place. the
Republican politicians, with the excep-
tion of a very small group have very
highly commended the appointment. Mr..
Wenner is one of the best officials that
Oklahoma ever had and the politicians
know it. The people generally know it
and have faith in him. But we rise up
to remark that governor is presumed
to suit himself in making his appoint
ments. The present administration is re-
sponsible for Mr.. Wenners political acts,
the politicians are not. The governor is
presumed to have a right to appoint any
many that he desires to appoint without
asking permission of two or three per-
sons who imagine themselves dictators.
He will probably take that privilege and
risk their displeasure.
