away unable to secure seats. Seats
were reserved for the school, faculty
and their friends.
Rev. Dinger spoke on the Bible and
compared and contrasted it with
science. After determining what the
Bible was and what science was, he
took up successively points on which
science and skeptieism had seemed at
variance with the Bible and proved
conclusively that the Bible was the on
ly true source Of scientific knowledge
and that scientists and others were
today following the teachings Of the
Bible which had been demonstrated
thousands Of years ago. Scientists
had declared until few centuries ago
that the earth was flat when JOB
thousands Of years ago had said that
the earth hung suspended in space.
Darwin's theory Of the evolution Of
man was proven false for the Bible
declared in the very beginning that
God had created man in His own inn
age. Scientists had found out after
thousands Of years that the Ark was
constructed on scientific principles
and measurements and ship builders
Of today were following the same pro-
portions in building the big trans-At-
lantic liners.
Scientific research had proven and
is proving every day the authenticity
of the Bible. Witnesses to the divin-
unity Of God and his words are being
brought to light every day in the un-
earthing Of ruins Of cities spoken Of
in the Bible and biblical geography is
being proved correct. Mr.. Murray
in his geography, quotes the Bible in
proof Of the correctness of geographic
cal locations and other data.
All of these subjects and others
were enlarged and dwelt on by the
speaker at length and the entire dis
course was one Of the most instruct
i've and scholarly efforts ever deliv-
cred from a pulpit in this city. It was
an appeal TO thinking men and women
and was also so simple that a child
could understand it.
After the sermon the audience sang
"Yield Not to Temptation" illustra
ted with stereopticon views, the wordl
Of the song being thrown on the can
vas with the pictures.

Of the brain and advised that his rela-

hours Mr.. Barry became unconscious

remained until his death at seven
O'Clock last night.
Mr.. Barry was from one Of the old

told by the cashier Of the bank to

Candidate for the Legislature Defends
the Constitution and Gives
His Own Policies

To the democratic voters of Grady
County:
Having announced my candidacy
for the democratic nomination for re-
preventative in state legislature from
Grady county, I presume I am ex-
peeted, in accordance with the custom
of candidates, to make a statement Of
the principles for which / stand.
In approaching this subject | real
ize the absolute futility Of making a
declaration of principles in the ordi-
nary way, for the first legislature of
Oklahoma has work to perform diff
erent and more important than that
Of any legislature that ever convened.
1t is the FIRST time in the history Of
the country that two territories ex-
isting under separate and distinct sys-
TENS of laws have been united under
one constitution. To unity these two
codes SO as to protect the individual
and property interests that have ac-
crued under them and in way to
harmonize with the constitution, will
be the first and most important duty
for the first legislature to perform.
The present laws Of Indian Territory
make large book of about 1900 pages
and che laws of Oklahoma Territory
fill two volumes Of 1900 pages each.
From these facts some idea of the
magnitude of the task may be formed.
Besides this duty the constitution es-
tablishes many commissions and gov
mental agencies which are innoova-
tions in administration Of law, and i'm.
poses upon the legislature the task Of
enacting appropriate laws to put them
in operation. The framing Of stat
utes to give proper effect to these pro
visions will be largely pioneer worl
for even the most experienced anC
skilled lawyer in the Legislature.
BY the terms Of the constitution
! the general laws Of Oklahoma Terri
tory, not in conflict with the consti
tuition, will so far as is applicable, be
come the temporary laws Of the stat
as soon as statehood is proclaimed
while the present municipal laws o
Indian Territory will remain in fore
until changed by the legislature. TIL
present pratice code of either terri
tory is not adapted to the courts es
tablished by the constitution, and
will, therefore, be imperative on tn
first legislature to Immediately adop
code Of practice to put the court
into operation. The preparation D
this code viii require great familiar
ity with legal proceedings in orde
that the state may have the best oh
tainable and the courts be thus enabl
ed to dispose Of the business comm
before them expeditiously and wit
the least possible expense. Many 0

INDIANS GET NO MONEY
VIII Not Get Share Of Tribal Funds at
this Time

Muskogce, April 1.-The last ses-
sion Of Congress passed an act which
provided that upon the application Of
individual Indians the Secretary of
the Interior, could in his discretion,
cause to be apportioned and paid to
such Indians their pro rata share of
their tribal or trust funds on deposit
in the United States Treasury. Many
inquiries have been made by members
Of the Five Civilized Tribes with re-
ference to this act, they requesting
how, when and where they can obtain
their shares Of the tribal funds.
The Department of Interior has de-
cided that the Act of Congress mem
toned does not apply in any way to
the Cherokee, Choctaw, Chickasaw,
Greek or Seminole tribes for the reason
that the so-called "Curtis Net" Of last
year lApril 26, 19O6) specifically pro-
vidss how and when the funds Of the
Five Civilized Tribes shall be distrib-
uted.
The Act providing for the immed-
late disposition and apportionment Of
tribal funds only applies to the reser-
walton Indians throughout the United
States. Indian Agent Kelsey is in
receipt Of instructions from the com
missioner Of Indian Affairs To prom,
ulgate this decision and to advise All
members Of the Five Civilized Tribes
that the law as mentioned does not ap-
ply to them.

MAYOR BRIDGES DELIVERS
INAUGURAL ADDRESS

creased tax valuation seems the only
relief, in selecting our board Of equal
ization it will be necessary to use care
that they be progressive citizens, men
who we feel are permanently with US,
not the speculator or the man whose
interests is 50 light that he might be
working to a selfish end; that revenue
might become increased to an extent
that Improvements on an unusual scale
be started thereby creating boom
that he or she could benefit by for a
short time, and leave the citizen that
has come to make this his home bear
the burden; nor the man that feels
that all tax is an imposition but with
the precedent set by some of our pro-
perty owners, feel like the board we
select would line other interests in
in keeping, and thereby start the
move for new high school building
and provide revenue for other improv
ments which are so necessary. / feel
like the time is here for the city to
take the responsibility of caring for
the Carngie Library in a financial
way.
In regard to developing in COM
mercial way we should offer to out
side concerns all the inducements poss-
ible to locate with us, and foster, as
far as necessary, the ones we have
that they might grow and strength.
en-. 1t may be only the granting Of a
spur that would transform the retail
house into wholesale. / do not believe
that any one citizen should be finan.
cially injured to aid another; but oui
policy should be the greatest good tc
the greatest number; and at all times
feel that we should do what is hest
for the interest Of the town in gener-
al; for IL one proposition comes uE
and it is against the interest Of 9
friend and We stand gainst it, by the
time we stand for all our friends
there has been no progress made.
10 not believe keeping city employee
on small pay or starvation wages, MOI

with the city's money than with oui
own. In instances where one man i

and working one half the time com

same salary, thereby making the placi
attractive, which viii insure compe
tent men.

changed that bids can be gotten ol
our deposits, properly safeguarded t,

idle in the banks, in way of sinking

There Is no question but what tn

was as follows:
To Members Of the City Council and
Police Department,
Gentlemen:
After having taken the oath Of Of
flee, that we may better understand
each other, few words might not be
out Of place. Our one desire as citi-
zens is to make Chickasha a better
place in which to live. Better has var
ious meanings to the different minds.
One would feel that in an education
al way we are not what we should be-;
that buildings are insufficient and our
faculty not up to the standard; while
another might find fault with us be-
cause we are not making the strides
commercially that we should; while
others might object to our moral at
mosphere. 50 the upbuilding Of a
town means much and in living up to
the platform ou which we were elect
ed, that Of progressiyeaess, it is not
we'll to progress along any one line
at the expense Of another. We must
improve our town morally; we must
advance in an educational way, al
we improve our material and CONNER
cial interests.
To induce others to look kindly on
us from moral view point, we must
enforce our laws, for when the i'm
preston goes out that our laws arc
poorly enforced, It does not appea'
to the class Of citizenship that mosi
towns desire. | do not mention any
particular violation, but that Of al
laws and ordinances. The man whs
violates the ordinance against hitchinf
on the paving or Of running his mo
tor car over the paving without thI
necessary drip pan, thinks lightly O.
1t, and in cases goes unmolested. Th'
man that violates laws Of more i'm
portance feels that he has been un
Justly dealt with when he is retrain
ed. Now, gentlemen, shall endeavol
to select men on the Police Force, (anC
hope you will confirm the appoint
ments) who will be a credit to oui
town, and / will instruct these meI
through the Chief Of Police, that wher
their attention is called to viola
tion Of any kind by one Of the Coun
ell or a citizen not a Council member
that they 90 with the authority vest
ed in them, and stop the violation o
make arrest, without saying alderman
% and-so or citizen so-and-so say
you must stop this, thereby creating
feeling between citizens and endanger
ing the peace and quiet Of the commul
ity, the very thing they are sworn t
keep. Should thy deem 1t necessar,
to saddle the responsibility on anyon
let It be the Chief Of Police or tn
Mayor.
IN an educational way we hav
much for which to feel proud, but tn
time has come with our increasing
population when we must have NOR
room. An additional building is need
ed, and as under our laws our bon
issue has reached the limit and hi

Speakers Urge Local Women to Or
 ganize for Rights.


 Mrs Ella Kendrick of Hartford was present at the meeting of the local branch of the Women's Tenn perance union held in this city yes terday, making a brief address on woman suffrage. The speaker urged the women to use their right to vote on school matters and declared that they will not be able to accomplish much until they have the same say in the run of affairs as men. Mrs Kendrick has been an earnest work CT for the union cause. She organ ized many loyal legions in Hartford county At yesterdays meeting it was decided to meet every two weeks notwithstanding that during the past the union met only once n month during July and August. But there Is SO much business to be transacted that 1t will be necessary to hold two meetings during the hot months. Mrs Jenkins. Mrs Baldwin Mrs Barnbrock. Mrs Austin.

NO LEGISLATIVE SOUVENIR.
Senate Rejects Resolution Appropri- ating S2.O00 to Souvenir" Taylor.

The resolution to appropriate s2,- 900 to W. H. Taylor for the "legis- lative souvenir" was taken from the calendar in the senate yesterday on motion of Senator McGoyern.
 Senator McGoyern moved the re- jection of the house amendment.
 Senator Potter moved as an amend ment that the senate concur with the house.
 Senator McGoyern said he re- gretted to criticise the work for s2,000 was appropriated.
 At the same ratio sS.000 will be asked for the work in 1909. He hop ed the senate will not infiict on the public libraries such book. The cuts represented the senators as men who were in a penal institution. He supposed that because the author of the Souvenir" is republican he omitted the democrats from it. It would be a misfortune to omit the democratic minority. They make up in good looks and intelligence what they lack in numbers. It is a com mercial enterprise pure and simple. If the author was a poor man he might take another view of 1t. But he Is one of the assistants of the eapi- tol.
 There is no justification for the ap- propriation of s4.000 for the book. He tSenator McGovernl hoped the senate would show its confidence in the committee on appropriations by sustaining its report.
 Senator Potter said the pictures and print are not what they ought to be. It vas for the purpose of get ting out a good book that he favored s4.0O0. It would be better not 10 have a book than to have an inferior one.
 The senate rejected the house amendment increasing the appropria- tion.
 The senate afterwards rejected the resolution making an appropriation Of t1.o0a. thereby refusing to appro- priate anything for the work. The vote was IT to 1T Lieutenant-Gov- ernor Lake broke the tie by voting against the apprOpriation-

One Local Man Gets Place on the
 Tuberculosis Committee.

Rev James Nihill is rector of St Patrick's parish in Bridgeport and is familiar with the social and economic problems ere ated among working people by the disease.
 Representative Dossin of Meriden, who is democrat in politics, is the youngest member of the commission, being 26 years old. He is cigar maker by trade and is interested in the fight against tuberculosis. Dr Maher of New Haven is we'll known for his study of the disease, and MT Kimball, who is an associate editor of the Waterbury American, is also a director of the Gaylord sanitarium at Wallingford.
 Dr LaRue of Putnam is well known physician and is thoroughly familiar with factory conditions. The work done by John F. Gunshan- an in Hartford is we'll known. MT Cheney is large employer of labor and ex-Senator Brennan of New Lon don is the only lawyer on the board. He was a member of the senate in 1905. His legal knowledge will be of value to the commission in the matter of drafting proposed legisla- tion.

BOYS HELD FORT.
Street Sweeper Was Given a Ducking
 In Driving Thew Away.

The city laborer whose Jurisdiction is North square is a prohibition of the deepest dye, but he has no use for the fountain that obstructs traf- fic on the corner of North Elm and Cherry street, or in other words, the south east corner of his working domain. He was attacked by two small boys yesterday. These boys held the fountain or. pump, as some call it, and the city laborer, who is a brave Neapolitan was held at bay for five minutes. He wished to clean up around the fountain, job which has been found to come nearer to perpetual motion than the famous Keeley motor. The boys wished to preserve their self instituted rights by keeping the place as dirty as pos sible with cigarette stubs, cigarette papers, burned matches, chunks of bread and green apple cores.
 The brave Neapolitan made rush with his brush on the defenders of the fountain but he was beaten back by the deluge of water they squirted at him. While he was recovering his breath one of the boys soused him with a cup full. This seemed to irritate him to desperation for he made another rush at the boys, and once more he got the water square in the face. However, he stood the onslaught and beat the boys back from their base of supplies. One ran down Cherry street the other down North Elm street and as the Neapolitan could not run both ways at once he did not run at all but mopped his wet face and clothing and then proceeded with the work which was delayed by the five minutes battle.
