Of Mother" Ellen White, head Of the
Adventist Church, that Battle Creek IL

and disastrous fires which would sweep
the Adventist esta blisments in this city.
She was laughed at by those Of the
faith But the fires came Sanitariums.

valued at several millions. There are
from $500 TO 1900 Advenusts numbered
among the pOpulaCe.

Democratic Nominee for
Three Hours--Mas-
terly Address

The mammoth tent at Fourth and
Kansas avenue, known as the Chris
tan Tabernacle, was filled to its full
est seating capacity Saturday evening
by an audience which for three hours
gave most appreciative attention to
the address Of Charles N. Haskell,
democratic candidate for governor Of
the new state Of Oklahoma.
The speaker Of the evening was in
troduced by Hon. Sam w. Hayes,
who said that the campaign just clos
ing was without a parallel in political
history, from the fact that but one
party stood for the constitution and
enforcement; tne republicans stood
for nothing. made no promises, but
simply made one request Of the peo-
pie: "If W do sdopt the constitution,
please keep us in office; the consti-
tuition IS bad, We don't want it, but
we do want the Offices (Voice in
crowd They'll never get 'em.") }
They say Elect US and we'll amend
IT, but they don't say what part they
viii amend. Like the story Of the
little boy who whitfield just to be
whiting theg viii amend the consti-
tuition Just to be amending. Conclu-
ding his remarks. Mr. Hayes tnen in
troduced the first governor of the
great state Of Oklahoma.

recovered.
Although the heart had long ceased
to beat, the condition Of the body gave
hope that life might be restored and
hours the physician worked but all
to no purpose.
After the body had been recovered
it was taken to the Thorogood home
which is near the pumping station
and later was removed to Kreitz' un-
dertaking rooms where it will lie till
tomorrow morning when the funeral
will be held at $3.50 and at 8 o'clock
service will be conducted at the
Catholic church. Interment will take
place at thee Catholic cemetery.
The Thorogood family which con-
sists Of father, mother, four daught-
ers and one son, came here from Al
bion, Ind, about seven months ago.
Just two days before the fatal ac-
cident they had moved to the pumping
station where the father had taken
a position as night engineer. The en-

sad calamity that has befallen them
