The Revival Meetings.

Evangelist Frier is opening up some
of the eyes of people nowadays to the
fact that religion means something
more than joining church. He is try
ing to prove to them that conformity
to the world is enmity to God, and he
seems to be finding good backing from
the bible. His text last evening was
Timothy III; 1-5. He said the words
did not only refer to the time of Tim
othy but to the present, that the world
was given over to pleasure, and that
before we could have religion worth
having. Christians must show them
selves to be somebody. We haven't
time to tell of the opening up of some
of the blisters he had put on the night
preceding. You will better appreciate
how well this is done if you go and
hear him Mr.. Reynolds is working
up a splendid choir and the music
goes with swing. Come tonight. it
will be the best yet
Cottage prayer meetings are now
being held. This afternoon (Tuesday)
the meeting will be with Mrs. o. d.
Neville, 1O9 South Brewer street. To-
morrow, with Mrs. T. w. Cook, 240
North Thompson street.

The enabling act of the state Of Ok
lahoma, passed by the congress of the
United States and approved on June
10th, 1906. by the acceptance of which
Oklahoma became a sovereign state
provided in section No. 5O4 as follows:
"Tte capital of said state shall tenn
porarily be at the city of Guthrie, in
the present territory of Oklahoma and
shall not be changed therefrom previ-
GUS to ammo domini nineteen hundred
and thirteen but said capital shall
AFTER SAID YEAR. be located by
the electors of said state at an cleo
tion to be provided for by the legis-
lature; provided. however that the
legislature of said state shall
not appropriate any public moneys of
the state for the erection of buildings
for capitol purposes during such
period"
On the 22nd day of April, 1907, the
constitutional convention of the then
proposed state of Oklahoma passed
the following ordinance:
'Be it ordained by the constitutional
convention for the proposed state of
Oklahoma, that said constitutional
convention do BY THIS ORDINANCE
IRREVOCABLE, accept the terms and
conditions Of an act of the congress Of
the United States Quoting the above
act) approved June 10th, 1906" and
such acceptance was condition pre-
cedent to securing statehood.
Now, the initiative petition to be
voted upon at the special election on
June 18th. 1910, will determine two
questions, viz:
(1) Shall the capital of the state
of Oklahoma be permanently located
by this election?
(2) Shall the capital of the state
of Oklahoma be permanently located
at (a) Oklahoma City or (b) Shawnee
or (c) Guthrie?
The Democrat asserts unhesitatingly
that THE BILL SHOULD BE De
FEATED. and that the first question
should be answered emphatically
NO"
The proposed bill is an Oklahoma
City real estate boom scheme.
Guthrie and Shawnee are unwilling
candidates, and are both fighting per
manent location ANY WHERE at the
present time. Their names are placed
on the ticket over their objection by
the trainers Of the bill.
If passed it is certain that the state
of Oklahoma will have on its hands
another expensive law suit through all
the courts of the land till settled by|

the supreme court of the United
States and in this law suit, carried
on at the expense of the taxpayers
llor the benefit of an Oklahoma City
real estate boom, the state of Okla
homa, whose honor should ever be un-
sullied, will appear in court confess
ing unnecessary reputation of its
plighted faith with the congress of the
United States, its violation of its
ORDINANCE IRREvOCABLE." and
will present to the world the shame
full spectacle of asking the courts of
the land to sustain it in its self-con-
fessed act of dishonor!
It's honor is the very essence of the
life of state or nation, as is the
honor Of any individual his crowning
glory; and it should not be lightly
tossed aside and besmirched at the
behest of those who seek mere pecuni-
airy advantage.
The legality of the proposed per-
manent location at this time is as
questionable as the act itself is un-
timely and unnecessary.
Nor is this all: the proposed loca-
tion bill itself is otherwise objection
able-dangerous.
In further contravention of the en-
abling act, as portion of section
seven of the bill carries with it an
appropriation Of SIX HUNDRED
THOUSAND DOLLARS of the peo-
pies money to be Immediately avail
able out of any money in the state
treasury not otherwise appropriated
for the purpose of carrying the pro-
visions of this act into effect"
This money, according to the terms
of the bill, is to be sent by three
commissioners appointed by and act
ing with the governor for the pur-
chase of lands within or at a distance
of not more than five miles from the
corporate limits of the city selected
as the Capital in ANY AMOUNT
THEY MAY CHOOSE from one foot
square to two thousand acres!
The unlimited and unnecessary pos
sibilities for exploitation of and graft
upon the states funds under any such
bill are apparent
Yes, the bill should be defeated
For these reasons and others appar-
ent to any reader of the bill who has
no personal interest in the measure
aside from that of citizen and tax
payer, we are of the opinion that the
voters should vote mo- on the first
proposition; and that on the second
they should VOTE FOR GUTHIE. as
the permanent location if one is made
at this time; because that would be
nearest in keeping with the terms Of
the enabling act on the permanent To-
cation question.

The cattle market underwent grad
ual softening last week, and closing
prices were off 20 to 35 cents on most
all kinds, with heifers showing even
greater decline sometimes. Feed
ers did not lose quite as much as
there is a good demand in the coun-
try for young cattle to feed, and bulls
..iso held up almost steady. Calves
1uctuated a good deal, but closed in
a rut, with all their advance wiped
out. The run today is 10000 head.

with other markets supplied in pro-
portion, the natural seult is lower
prices today, steers to Is lower
cows and heifers steady to a shade
lower AS usual on Monday, stockers
and feeders are in good demand and
prices are firm today The top on
heavy steers today is $3.50, in the ma
tive division, and drove of 1,100 lb.
steers in the quarantine division also
brought $3.50, Oklahoma corn fed
steers. Medium class steers bring
cattle from the south sell at $500 to
to S6.65 mostly, some meal fed steers
today at 1925. The range on heifers
is SAFE % $780, and best heavy cows
bring up to $6.75 The latter have
been scarce during the past week.
Best veals are worth S8.75, and bulls
bring $4.75 to $6.4O, feeders $6.25 to
$500, stockers $500 to $3.50. Prices
remain about $3.50 per cwt. higher
than at this time last year The mar
ket closed little firmer today, when
it was learned that railroad washouts
would prevent 100 car loads of stock
reaching the yards in time for the
market
Hog receipts were at minimum
figures all of last week and although
prices advanced is cents, it was
poor showing. Packers have been de-
void of the buying impulse for ten
days, as they claim demand for fresh
meats is slack, and that they do not
need the hogs. The run today is

at 1920 to 1896, medium weights
1910 to 1926, and light hogs up to
1920 The extraordinary slim re-
ceipts last week were abnormal, and
unless much wider outlet develops
in the fresh meat trade, increased
supplies will meet some hard knocks.
Sheep and lambs declined Is to 80
cents last week. on about normal re-
ceipts, but the downward trend was
accelerated today, with the advent of
10000 head, the closing market today
taking on something of the appear
ance of rout. Best clipped lambs
brought s875 early today. but the
same quality could not reach $3.50
later, and an early bid of 1910 on
choice Colorado wooled lambs could
not be realized later in the day, Fair
to good Texas muttons sold at $3.50

the full strength of the market, goats
worth $3.50 to $500. Clipped wethers
are worth up to $3.50, and best ewes.

SKATING IS GREAT
At Bonner POND

Harry Davenport came down from
his skating emporium at bonner last
evening and announced that he had
the best ice of the season at the dis
posal of Missoula skaters. The ice is
not Harry's but he has taken a pride
in arranging some of the details for
the convenience of those who want to
enjoy good skating. Among other
things he has skates to rent and does
a fine job OF keeping them sharp and
in repair. The ice is on the mill pond
above the power house and is free to
everybody. There are 1000 yards of
space available and in the evening,
when the moon does not shine. the
whole ice field is brightly illuminated
by the light company with electric
lights. A trip to the Bonner ice is one

Old SOLDIER FOUND
HELPLESS AND ALONE

While walking along the railway
track several miles south from Fort
Missoula yesterday a soldier was
hailed by a little girl who told him
the story of an old mans sickness
and suffering and that help was neces-
sary at once to save his life. An in
vestigation led to the discovery OF
Tom Williams. an old soldier, about
10 years of age. lying on a bunk In
hut three miles from the post. He
was absolutely helpless and later
when when the county commissioners
were notified he had to be moved IN
an ambulance.s He was taken to the
ST. Patricks hospital for treatment at
the expense of the county. Old age
and rheumatism are mostly to blame
for the old soldiers pitiable condl-
tion.

VIE WITH "PoPuLAR" MUSIC
AT BAND coNcERr.a

. There are great many people In
Missoula who missed something
mighty good last evening by staying
away from the concert given by the
Missoula band at the Harnois theater.
Nothing vet has shown the rapid prog
ress this organization is making as did
last evenings performance. Professor
Gustav Fischer led his band through
q program that showed it's versatility
and Its ability. The band played with
a verve that 1t has not shown before
and received the heartiest applause
from the faithful who made up the
audience. 1t appears heart breaking
task that the band has taken hold Of
Missoula doesn't seem to desire to
learn to appreciate good music. Last
nights concert was as entertaining as
any attraction that the Harnois the
ater has known in months.
High class music 1t was that Di-
rector Fischer gave his audience; !;
every number on the program, with
especial reference to the solos by Mrs.
GrOssberg and Herr Fischer himself
was excellent. The playing of III
Trovatore" and Carmen" did more
than anything to demonstrate the fact
that the band is able to interpret the
more difficult. These light classics
appealed to the audience as much as
the more popular selections; to
many in last nights audience they
proved revelations.
The solo by Mrs. Grossberg was
warmly received and encored Herr
Fischer also responded to the call Of
the audience.
The program was played as pub
lished previously.
