MONUMENT FOR A BOOSTER.
Remarkable Feats of Fowl That Won
Several Prizes.


A monument is planncd for a rooster
belonging to Q. l.. McIssi'd OF Vermilion
county, ILL.,, which recently died at the
age of twelve years, says Blooming
ton Qll.) correspondent of the Chicago
Inter Ocean.
1t was claimed to be the champion
of champions, having won first prize at
eight successive state fairs and also at
the Pan-American exposition. The
fowl WAS valued at a high figure and
was considered to be one of the finest
blooded chickens in the country.
OF beautiful form and fine color, this
rooster was one of the sights of the
Nermilion county section of the coun-
try, and chicken fanciers from all over
the United States went TO Bloomington
to see him.
lie had been taught many tricks by
his proud owner and would follow him
around like dog. 1t was not an I'M
usual sight to see Mr.. McCOrd walking
along the street with the big rooster
gravely stalking along behind him.
His Intelligence was remarkable. He
seemed TO understand many words and
responded to many simple orders. For
instance. his owner would tell him to
sing. and the bird would crow until
told to stop, when he would become as
silent as the grave.
While Mr.. McCord always endeavored
to discourage the birds tendency to
fight on the slightest provOcation, he
admits that there was one occasion
when he rejoiced in the ROSTERS abil-
ity to put up good battle. This occa-
sion was when the bird whipped a
pointer owned by neighbour. The dog
had made n dash ut some chickens in
the yard when Old Bill-that was the
maize Of the rooster appeared on the
scene and attacked the intruder.
The battle that followed was n hot
one, with houors about even until the
rooster jumped on the dogs head and
began pecking at the animals eyes.
This was more than the dog could
stand. and. with howl, he gave up
the fight and fled.

A STRONG ADDRESS

in establishing county
boundary lines and declared that these
would not be changed. He scored
Judge Pancoast and made it plain that
he acted within the bounds Of the law
in refusing to file the original copies
of the constitution and election ordi-
nance.
The speaker paid a high tribute to
Delegate Hayes, Hayes is probably
better fitted to construe the constitu-
ton than any man in the state
Mr.. Murray's argument for Has
kell was that the latter was thorough
" in sympathy with every provision
in the constitution ard would enforce
II. He had no abuse for Mr. Cruce,
but said the latter was an honest
clean man.

Fears that be CasuOt Speak out with
PrOpriety at Present Time

Washington, May 2O-Three demo-
cratic members Of the Oklahoma con-
stitutional convention. Messrs. Led
better, Moore and Hayes, this after
noon had talk with Attorney Bona
parte calling his attention to the in
functions which have been issued re-
straining the governor from issuing
his election proclamation and the cleo
tion officer of the territory from per-
forming certain duties and asking
that the attorney general take steps
to have the legality of this action
locked into.
Speaking subsequently Of the COM
mittee's visit Mr.. Bonaparte admitted
that the gentleman from Oklahoma
had asked him to appoint government
counsel to defend certain suits grow
ing out Of the action of the constitu-
tional convention. The attorney gen
eral replied that this course woul3
seem to identify the department oi
Justice with one side Of the contro
versy to the exclusion Of the other, t.
which he though there was very seri
ous objection.
To the statement that the people O.
Oklahoma desired to act in strict OBJ
servance Of the law in framing thei
constitution and to that end aske'
for any suggestions the department
might see fit to make, the attorne
general said that the situation wa
peculiar and in part, at least 50 ia
as he knew, unprecedented. H

question of policy whether any sue

IT CHRIST SHOULD
COME TO CHICKASHA'

we may not class it with the wrongs
we have mentioned, yet before the God
that loved US and gave His Son to die
for US, believe it is a wrong and
must be removed before every knee
in your city will bow to Jesus Christ.
God is my witness that What say
on this last evil is said in love. !
shall be backed up by the plain and
simple words Of our Saviour and one
Of his apostles. / speak of the di-
visions among the churches; viewed
in the light Of Gods word, this is
wrong. Jesus says: Neither for
these only do ! pray, but for them also
that believe on me through their
word: that they may all be one; even
as thou, Father, art in me, and in
thee, that they also may be in u.s.:
that the world may believe that thou
didst send me- John 1870, 21) !.
Noes not Christ pray here that we
shall all be one, and the purpose Of
the oneness, that the world might be
lieve? Is it not fact that because Of
our divided condition today we are
losing sight Of this pointed prayer Of
our Saviour? Paul says divisions are
wrong, and he broke them up in the
church at Ccrinth. Hear Paul: "Now
4 ! beseech you, brethren, through the
name OF our Lord Jesus Christ, that
We all speak the same thing, and there
be no divisions among you; but that
4 ye be perfected together in the sam'
mind and in the same judgment. Fol

Sermon Delivered BY Evangelist Buch-
anan at the Christian Church
Last Night

Evangelist Buchanan, at the Chris
tan church took for his text last
night the rather unusual text what
Would Christ See and Hear If Hel
Came to Chickasha?" /
In part he spoke as follows:
It is quite likely that this subject
has attracted some in this large au-
dience to come here tonight through
curiosity, thinking to have sensa-
tional sermon, but / pray God, if this
is your motive in coming, that before
we are through with this address,
your curiosity shall have been chang
ed into a strong desire to separate
yourself from all evil and consecrate
yourself to God, and then consecrate
yourselves against all sin until Christ
shall have control Of each individual,
each home, each place Of business and
each church in its borders.
First then what would Christ hear
If he came 70 your city in person.
You, my friends can answer this bet
ter than |. You know the language
you have used. Father how have you
spoken before your boyg There is
one thing that Christ would hear that
would cause his heart bleed and his
face 70 turn pale, and that Is the way
you men use Gods name. Ny broth
er, have you stopped to think whose
name this is you are using in such a
filthy way7 20 you know that God
is your friend, that He loves you and
is not willing that any Of you should
perish, but that you should repent Of
your sins and be forgiven. Then, men
don't use His names as If he were
some vagabond. There is nothing "a
be gained by expressing your thoughts
in this way If I were as unclean al
some Of you fellows ! would 60 down
10 the grocery store and buy boz
Of Ivory soap and use It cleansing th'
inside Of my mouth and the outside O.
my body and then I would say, 20
Cod, help me to Eet the inside clean
What would Christ see II He cam
10 your city in person? Suppose
pilot should be showing Christ aroun'
the city. pointing out to Him the diff
ferent fine buildings, stores and resi-
dences. But suppose You should com
to a building over which the wor
esaloon" and Christ should stop i
front If Il, would you feel like tel
ing him Of the workings Of that il
stitution? When Christ would kno'
that this stuff that men are pourin
down their throata was blasting the
souls, would he not cry out again
these hell holes. Men, there is OF
subject, only one for which man VI
sell liquor, and that is for the dolll

to make money provided you make
in a legitimate way and have aloE
