The Revival

The crowd was larger at the
Methodist church last night. The
theme of Rev. R6per's sermon was
"The Fruits Of Repentance. Re
pentance would be shown by right
doing, by obedience 10 Gods COM
mands and by restitution in case of
wrongs done. The sermon was an
able presentation of sound and
wholesome truths. 1t was one of
strongest sermons preached since
the meeting began.
Great good has already been ac-
complished by tho revival services
although the visible results donot
seem great. Men and women are
being stirred to stronger efforts to
live nobler, purer, and more useful
lives.

Told By Pioneer.

DR.. w. w. Carson who was one
of the first settlers in Chickasha,

When DIR. Carson left here in
1903, the town had about 700 peo-
pie. There was one brick building

In that day there were no schools

A Further Report of the Battle.
(By the Associated Press.)

st. Petersburg, Aug. 26.-After four
weeks interval the Japanese have re-
sumed their advance against General
Kuropatkin's positions. The opposing
armies are in contact east and south
of Lao Yang and fighting has been in
progress since Wednesday.
Since the rains ceased n week ago
there have been continued limitations
that General Kuropatkin was about to
assume the offensive. but instead OF
that it was the Japanese who attacked
the Russian commanders eastern and
southern positions. A Japanese col
umn, $4,000 strong, was reported en-
Tuesday to be marching up the right
bank of the Lianhe river which would
seem to indicate that three Japanese
armies are cooperating in enveloping
three sides of Liao Yang.

The fact that the Japanese are pre-

be the first object of the japanese

are counting on the superiority Of

1t was merely a demonstration or q

With an energy that left no doubt that

The Japanese pushed their ATTACK
