INDIANS AS cHrfcH MEMBERS.
They Become Deeply Religious Once
Than Noruortod
They Are Converted

| 1t has been only few decades since
the selfsame Indians who now are taking
an active interest in the religious life o.
Oklahoma were terrorizing the southwest
| with their deeds of cruelty. During this
month the annual Comanche revival will
be held west of Cache Last year fifty
converts were taken in through the inhu
ence OF the camp meeting.
The Indian, when converted, is deeply
religious and enjoys, more than the aver
age white man, the privilege of holding
and attending religious meetings. His
preference is. for camp meetings, as this
form more closely resembles the conven-
lions held by the tribes before their con-
version to Christianity. 1t is the custom
for the Methodists and Baptists in partic-
ular to hold camp meetings for the Indian
tribes among whom they have been doing
missionary work. The Kiowas and Co.
manches are especially favorable to these
open air gatherings and attend in great
numbers each summer.
The Catholics hold first place in doing
missionary work among the Indians of the
southwest, with the Methodists and Bap
lists close together for second place, and
the Presbyterians and Episcopalians in
third position. Recent congressional &C
ton has given all these denominations the
control and ownership of the church and
ScHoOl lands, Wnlcn tney nave improved
by the erection of buildings thereon. Each
of these denominations has numerous
schools and churches for the red men
throughout the new state, and occasion
ally may be found buildings belonging to
one of the many other denominations.

KENT WON'T HANG.
DR.. Steele Thinks Legislature Will Com
mute Sentence.


While discussing the recent action OF the
supreme court in sentencing Elroy Kent
to hang on Jan. l3, 1911, DR.. Fred &
Steele said Monday that he did not think
that the prisoner would ever be executed
for the offence, as he thought that the 1911
legislature would commute his sentence tc
life Imprisonment
Dr. Steele is one of three members of the
state board of supervisors for the hospital
for the insane, and came in contact with
the convicted murderer OF Della Congdon
a number of times, as he was twice an in
mate of the Waterbury hospital, where
the board makes a monthly inspection
The doctor said that Kent did not receive
very close examination at the hands OF
the board and therefore he could not give
his opinion as to his sanity. Unlike most
of the other patients at the asylum, Kent
was detained there on the order and dur
was no need of the board of supervisors
examining him, as they had no power to
release.
DR.. Steele said, however, that the board
thought as a whole that it was better not
to recommend Kent's release to the court,
as is the custom with patients under OBJ
servation relative to their mental condl-
ton, as they thought that he was an un-
safe man to be at large. 1t was after
making his escape that he committed the
deed for which the supreme court now
says he must hang.
The doctor spoke very forcibly regarding
capital punishment, stating it as his belief
that it was the sentiment of this state TO
abolish this barbarous custom, and that If
it was put to the voters to change the con
stitution in that respect, he thought that
vast majority would favor it. As there
is no likelihood of constitutional amend
ment being made within the next year, DR..
Steele thinks that the next legislature
will vote to commute the sentence of 81
roy Kent to life Imprisonment at such
manual labor as he is able to perform

WHY NOT STOP THAT ITCH?
Druggist GRAHAM Assures Relief With
Every 25 Cent Bottle.

Druggist GRAHAM of this town says that
he has found indisputable proof that exec
ma can be cured-not in one or two cases,
but in scores of cases which he has studied.
He would, of course, not think of making
such recommendation to his neighbors
and patrons, were it not that his years
and years of success with d. d. d. Pre-
scription enables him to speak of this
remedy with confidence. 1t is a gentle,
soothing wash with the mild oil of winter
green as base. All the cures seem to be
permanent; at any rate, a trial bottle at
25 cents will take away the itch at once
instantly. We are sure of this.

for all women. To the feminine part of
the audience there is never the slightest
failure to understand and appreciate the
motives for Warehouses; sin. For while
women may not approve, may not even
cOndone, they at least understand.
That a young girl madly in love with her
husband should steal from her best woman
friend in order to spend the money in
making herself beautiful in the eyes of
her husband Is the basic principle of the
Bernstein play, which concerns itself both
with the detection Of the theft and the
wreck of marital happiness which its dis
closure makes imminent.

From the rise of the first curtain until
the fall of the drop at the end of the play
there is not one dull moment in The Thief.
Scorning all subterfuge, Bernstein gives
the public series of dramatic punches
which keeps the mind alert, the senses on
the tense and the interest unhagging.
The play comes here after a 10 months
run at the Lyeeum theater in New York,
three months at the Park theater in Bos-
ton, and three months at Powers theater
in Chicago IL is presented under the di-
rectlon OF Charles Frohman and will be
acted by a specially selected company of
unusual merit.

Experience in the Use of Poultry Foods.

Experience is the best teacher every
time. 1t is fortunate that all do not have
to go through the same experience. Some
can have the benefit of that which Others
have gone through. Ii is not necessary
that every poultry keeper should use all
the various foods that are on the market,
in order to learn which is best and most
reliable. He can rely somewhat on the
experience of those who have used them.
Charles a. Hancock, Barre Mass, says:
Il have used Pages Perfected Poultry
Food the past year with great success,
and would not be without it. IL certainly
is an egg producer"
