REVIVAL SERVICE
is Now Going On at Centenary Meth
odist church.-Two Services Daily.

The revival at the Centenary Meth
odist church began yesterday. and the
opening services, in the opinion of
those who were present, give promise
of a decided religious awakening.
At IL o'clock, the pastor, Rev. t.
H. Morris, preached to a fair-sized
congregation, using for his text IL.
Kings, 4th chapter and 25th verse;
is it well with thee, is it well with
thy husband, is it well with the
child?' The sermon consisted of en-
phasizing the personal, voluntary and
involuntary relationships of life as re-
lated to religion and eternal life. The
attention was marked, and the effect
seemed to be good.
In the afternoon at p. m. the pas
tor preached to the children, and the
discourse was based upon II. Kings,
9Th chapter, and was designed to show
that children could and ought to be
religious.
At 7:45 the congregation was large
and the feeling hopeful. Bro. Morris
took for his text Mark 2:5, and the
two points of the sermon were the
connection between sin and suffering.
and the contagion of faith. The SER
mon was concluded by the relation of
instances in the speakers own min
isterial life confirming the positions
taken. At the conclusion of the ser
mon a large number of persons.
among them our most intelligent and
successful business men. came to the
altar to reconsecrate their lives to
God.
A pleasing feature of each even
ing's service will be singing by little
folks of the Junior League. and an
occasional appropriate solo, though
most of the music will be the old IA
miliar hymns of Wesley. Watson and
others.
The services for the week are an
nounced for and 7:45 p. m.

A. F. ROBINSON SAYS PRESENT

Special to the Herald.
Kansas City. Mo-, March 12.-The

Robinson, representing the Uncle Sam
Refinery of Cherryvale. Kansas. was
the first witness. and after telling
how oil rates jumped as soon as the
Standards pipe line to Kansas City
was completed. he gave samples of
rates in effect at the present time.
From Cahnute to Weber. said Mr..
Robinson, a distance of 254 miles, the
rate is ten and one-half cents per
hundred. To Superior. Neb.. nine
miles further on the same road. it is
nineteen cents. From Cherryvale.
Kan. to Galena. Kansas. eighty-one
miles, il is six and One-half cents.
To Joplin. on same road. it is nine
teen cents The rate from Caney.
Kas.. to Bartlesville before the Stand
ard pipe line was built. was five
cents: it is now nineteen cents.
The Kansas maximum oil freight
rate law reduced the price of kero-
sene oil to Kansas consumers four
cents per gallon, saving them two
hundred thousand dollars annually
But the present rates prevent eight
flourishing independent Kansas re-
fineries from doing business beyond
the state line.

Not Enlist for So Much Less
Money Than IL Paid in
Civil Life.

Recruiting for the regular army of the
United States was not as prosperous at the
Omaha station for the month OF January
as war hoped for. The total number Of
enlistmcnts for the month was but twenty
nine. The number of reflections reached
during the month was ninety, the reflections
being for lack of the necessary physical
qualifications. moral obliquity and minority.
OF the twenty-nine enllstments and accept
anoes, seven were accomplishments.
The same general story of a paucity OF
cnlstments prevails throughout the west.
One Of the recruiting officials at the
Omaha station said: THE cause Of the
scarcity OF enlistments can be attributed
10 the meager wages paid in the army.
Very few young men care to enter the
service for three years on a salary of s13
per month. Any person who wants to work
can readily earn more than that. believe
the present agitation for increase of wages
Of the private soldier to S16 OF 500 per
month will bring us a better class of young
men. This question is fully as important as
the canteen question and IT is hoped the
matter will be taken up little better pay
will make the soldier more self-respecting
and there can be no other result than a

same with Clerical Force.
Liberal extra pay for clerical services,
as is practised in the navy. will have an
other good effect. Take the position of

to he a wcll-educated man, capable of
managing a body Of from sixty to eighty
men to the end that the very best service
can be given to the government. He is
personally responsible to his commanding
officer for all the company property, aggre-
eating in value many thousands of dollars
He must supervise the feeding and equip
ment of the men. and is in fact the general
manager of the company. A similar posi-
ton in civil life with its attendant respon-
sibilty would command a salary of from
$3.50 TO 5000 year. Yet the first sergeant
of a company gets but a trihe over 800 per
year"

TRIBAL TAX
CATTLE TAX
COLLECTION is SUSPENDED ON
BOTH SINCE DEC. 81.
Secretary Hiteheoek's order to In
speotor Wright Sets Him 7ight
with Business and Professional
Men and Cattlemen.

Inspector j. George Wright today
promulgated an order from the secre-
tary of the interior to suspend the col
lection Of Creek tribal permit tax ac-
cruing after December 81, 1905. This
probably means that the merchants of
the Creek nation will be relieved from
paying the troublesome tax for the
last three months preceding the dis
solution Of the tribal governments, as
a bill has been introduced into con
gress abollshing the tax. after the end
OF 1905. Secretary Hitchcock has rec
ommended this bill, and It will prob
ably be passed.
The order also instructs the inspec.
tor not to enforce the COLLECTION OF the
tribal cattle tax in the Choctaw and
Chickasaw nations after December 81,
1905. Where cattle are grazed on un-
allotted ground in the Creek and Cher
okee nation the tax rs still to be col
lected as heretofore provided in trea-
Ties WIN lltot udAibhos
The news that the secretary has
suspended he collection OF the famous
tribal tax Is welcome to every busi-
ness and professional man in the
Creek nation, each Of whom has felt
the burden OF paying out money with
out receiving anything in return. When
the order came last spring from the
secretary of the interior to collect the
tribal tax. many business men re-
belled. The Indian police were In
structed to close the stores of those
who refused to pay the tax When the
Indian police started to carry out
these orders in Muskogee they were
arrested by the city police on charges
OF disturbing the peace. and feeling
ran high. The city authorities, how
ever, decided that they could not le-
gally interfere with government Off
GERS in the dicharge of their duties
and the Indian police were released.
The business men of the Creek ma
tion then sent delegation to Wash
ington to plead with President Roose'
welt TO abolish the tax. The cry was
that the tax was unjust, as II repre-
sented taxation without representa-
tion. President Roosevelt, however. re-
fused to revoke the tax, which had
been held legal by the tax. The tri-
bal tax cases are now before the SUI
preme court OF the United States for
final review. II the decision OF the
lower courts Is not sustained, and the
tax declared Illegal, the government
will be called upon to refund all mon
ey paid by the people Of the Creek
nation.
In each OF the five Indian nations
the Indian governments imposed tax
upon non-citizens engaging in bust
ness or professional pursuits within
their borders, In the Greek nation no
attempt was made to collect this tax
for several years, and when the sec.
retary decided to enforce its collec'
tion last spring a storm of protests
arose. Many merchants had to pay
several hundred dollars tribal tax.
