A movement has been started among

The people of the portion of Crook
county supplied by Rev. Lilly are
largely poor settlers who greatly de-
sire a continuation Of his services.
but who are unable to contribute to
any great extent to his support. That
Rev. Lilly is in love with his peculiar
work is shown by the fact that he
was recently offered the pastorate
of a large church where he could de-
vote all his time to one charge.
"Who would look after my Crook
county people?" he asked, when he
declined the offer.

Hidden away in the heart of the
west, unobserved by the eyes of the
outside world and yet performing
great service for humanity are many
self sacrificing men in the mission
ary field, but perhaps one that de-
serves especial mention is Rev. G,
A. NJ. Lilly, a Presbyterian mission

He has neither team nor saddle
horse, but carries his books and
tracts through the wild and unset

serving his congregations and or
ganizlng Sunday schools.
Recently Rev. Lilly walked over
the Cascade mountains and down the
Mckenzie river, a distance of 10

"There is no such station as that on
our line," replied the ticket agent,
regretfully.
"oh, my; yes there is" declared
Miss Miller, surprised at such ignor-
ance on the part OF a Hartman Of

But at this point a bystander in
formed the ladies that Myrlck was
on the Northern Pacific branch line
instead of the o. r. & N. Very
crestfallen they hurried to the Webb

action to break the will of the late

death in Washington.
Her friends here say that such a
course has been contemplated ever

test will be based on the written ac-
knowledgement Of Senator Brown

own. In his will Brown expressly
disavowed the paternity of the two
children and stipulated that even If
they were his children. they should
receive nothing from his estate.

INDIAN TERRITORY
Wants Oklahoma Examination Ques-
tions for Teachers of
Schools.

Guthrie, Ok, May 2 y. Il. Dyche,
territorial superintendent OF public
instruction, this morning signed 81
common school diplomas for Logan
county graduates. By the time all OF
the counties are in he will have
signed 1000 diplomas. The ones issued
now are for the examination held last
week. An.examination for other ap-
plicants is to be held May 16 and IL.
Mr.. Dyche says he is receiving many
requests from the Indian Territory
for the common school examination
questions as we'll as the questions used
in teachers examinations. The ad-
mission of Oklahoma into the Union
cannot be perfected before September,
The month in which most OF the
schools start. The Indian Territory
instructors will have but short time
to comply with the law. For this
reason in many cities the Oklahoma
questions are to be used, and the
teachers will then ask the legislature
to recognize the certificates the same
as those in Oklahoma.

Located on Lynch's Prairie and Is
Promoted by the Farmers Union
ID. F. Clark, Manager.

The Farmers Union is going to
locate a store on Lynch Prairie, across
Grand river from Island ford, with d.
f. Clark. formerly of near Kelso, as
secretary and general manager
The new store will be located on the
Baker place about mile and a half
southeast Of old Santiago.
A good store on Lynch Prairie ought
to be a good investment, as it is in the
heart of a fertile country and is pretty
thickly populated. The placing Of
this store in that particular locality
will be a great convenience to the peo-
pie. The name Of the new town which
is expected to spring up from the es-
tablishment OF this store is Ocelola.
A blacksmith shop and. a grist mill
will be added later on, and maybe a
postotfice, as an effort is to be made to
have the Chaffee postofice removed to
the new town. Ocelola will be the
center of quite an extensive trading
district.
