A missionary in charge of small
church on the Indian reservation at
Onondaga held evening services for his
people at which subjects upon which
he lectured were not strictly RELIGIOUS.
one evening when the little building
was well filled with braves and their
sauaws he described the solar system
and told them that the earth revolved
about the sun and also turned over
once in every twenty-four hours.
Early the next morning the priest
was awakened by = knecs. He opened

A Year Old Mystery Recalled,

The notice of a sale of land un-
der a deed of trust published in
the Democrat last week recalls
the myster' ofthe diappearance
one year ago of August GLAND,
living southeast OF Butler who
started hunting one day and has
never since been seen or heard of
alive or dead by his family or any
one who knew him Mr. GLAND
was a farmer in southeastern
Bates and something over a year
ago disposed of his farm. He
was not living with his wife who
has since secured a divorce and
after the sale he divided the pro
ceeds with her aud purchased
another farm of forty acres which
he rented out. To complete the
purchase he borrowed 5 O m G
money upon his new place. This
was in May Of last year. A short
time later and just at the time Of
the big rise in the river he left
home to 20 hunting. IL is said
that he was at this time in bad
health and when he failed to re.
turn his daughter, Mrs Jessie
Sinister who lives on route five
out of Rich Hin, believed that he
lost his life ia the river. From
that day no trace Of his body has
ever been discovered n has
there been any report of the find.
ing Of a body ia the river The
land purchased by him was left
without an owner and the action
OF the trustee in selling it will
enable his estate to be settled
and the proceeds to go to those
who are entitled to them in case
be is dead as seems practically
certain underthe circumstances.

NOTES FROM NARROW
ROASTING THE CHAMPION BAS-
kET BALL TEAM-WEATHER
AND MONEY MATTERS.

MARROW, Okla, Feb, lj.-The Mar.
low basket ball team went up against
the crack champion team from Ed.
mond college, here Friday night.
As usual the result was decisive
victory for the NARROW boys. The
score was ~ to II, and by this
victory NARROW established a record
of 20 straight games without de-
feat. The home team now claims
state championship and Is prepared
10 defend it against all comers. Fur
ther our boys are ready and willing
for swat at the Texas teams that
have been flying so high OF recent
days
One of the hardest spells OF wealth
cr We have had in years is now upon
us. Saturday afternoon the tempera-
ture began TO get lower and sudden
ly a terrific downpour OF rain, hail
and sleet accompanied by strong
winds, caused our people to hunt
their storm cellars, ami soon after
the warm firesides. Today all is fro
zen hard and fast with hail and
sleet banked up in many places
Again has NARROW been honored
abroad. At the recent consolidation
OF the grand chapters of the order
Of Eastern Star of Oklahoma and
Indian territories, few days ago,
Mrs. Ada r. Martin of this city was
of the new jurisdiction for the en-
suing year. Mrs. Martin is the wife
of 7. p. Martin, Jr., cashier of the
First National Bank Of our city him
self prominent in Masonic circles in
the new state. Mrs. Martin formerly
resided in Fort Worth and has been
grand matron Of the order OF Eastern
Star Of Indian Territory since Aug
ust last
Farmers complain that money mat
teIs are in harder shape than they
have seen it for years, and fail Il
understand why this is the case, es
pecially when We have a new state
bank at this place However, this may
be in part explained by a knowledge
Of the fact that the crops were quite
short in this section last year an(
many farmers could not pay theil
notes, having to be carried over unit
the coming fall. Perhaps continued
activity on the part of some OF oul
lawmakers in ways OF new bankinl
