few days ago, a peculiar mistake
was made in the preparation Of the
elements for the communion service,
which is always held at the close
Of these annual district conferences.
The steward whose duty il has
been to provide the bread and wine
forgot, in mis- busy hours OF enter
tainment Of the delegates. til few
minutes before the preaching sery-
ice was to begin.
He hastily went ont into town,
stirred up a brother cnurchman who
owns a store, begged him to open
MS place OF business in the emer-
gency and let him have a pound Of
crackers and quart Of grape juice.
The merchant complied and the
steward hurriedly placed the ele.
ments in place for the sacramento
service.
II was noticed that a look OF sur
prise overspread the faces of the
ministers who communicated the el-
ements 10 the beloved congregation.
and also on the faces OF many VINO
came away from the communion
table
When the steward was asked what
sort Of wine he had procured, ha
told them how and where he had
secured the grape juice but inves-
tiga.ion by the merchant afterward
revealed the mistake he had made
he had drawn off a quart Of coca
cola sirup and that had been served

Border Days in Kansas.

Guthrie, Okla Aug. l1.-Joseph ".
McNeal OF Guthrie, republican candi.
da,e for governor and his democratic
opponent, Lee .Cruce Of Ardmore, are
botl national bankers. Cruce was ;or
several years president of the Ardmore
National bank, while McNeal has been
president Of both the Guthrie NauonaI
bank and the National Bank of Com
Eerce of this city. The Guthrie Ma
JiOnal bank was started by McNeal
here on the day that Oklahoma Ter
ritory was opened to settlement, q
years ago. being the first bank in
Oklahoma Territory TO do business.
McNeal is a native of Marion county,
Ohio. and Cruce of Crittenden county,
Kentucky. Both We're farmer boys,
Cruce worked on a farm until he was
20 years old and then attended col
lege at Marion, Kentucky, and Van
derbilt University, and was afterward
admitted to practice law at Marion.
He came to Ardmore and began the
practice Of law in 1891. He has four
brothers. all Of whom reside in Ard
more.
Cmce was defeated for the demo-
raticc nomination for governor three
years ago by Charles n. Haskell, who
recently endorsed Cruce for the NOM
ination this time. Following Haskells
election he appointed Cruce a men,
Der of the board of regents Of the
state University at Norman, position
" which Cruce accepted. A. c. Cruce,
a brother of the democratic nominee,
is one of the attorneys defending
Governor Haskell against the federal
indictments in the Muskogee town
lot frauds.
Lee Cruce was a Chickasaw squaw
man, his wife dying several years ago.
In regard to Indian affairs his plat
form declares for speedy settlement
of the affairs of all Indian tribes IN
this state and he endorses the sale
oc the surface of the segregated coal
and asphalt lands to actual settlers,
leaving the underlying minerals in
possession of the Indian owners. In
an address in Roger Mills county Mr..
Cruce went on record against woman
suffrage. He failed TO get the en-
dorsement of the State Anti-Saloon
League for governor the league in
stead endorsing William H. Murray
OF Tishomingo. McNeal, the republican
nominee, was also endorsed by the
league.
Cruce during the present campaign
created something of a sensation in
Oklahoma political circles when he
announced in public statement that
he would stand for no vilification dur
ing the campaign and stated that he
would settle his differences in tne.
present campaign after the Kentucky
fashion.

The Republican Nominee.

Joseph W. McNeal the republican
candidate for governor, is a staunch
standpatter politically and has so an
ncunced himself several times during
the campaign He has ioked a great
deal about this during the primary
campaign for the reason that his
brother Tom McNeal, was running
for congress in the First Kansas dis
trict on a rampant insurgent platform.
McNeal has been prominent in re-
publican politics ever since old Okla
homa was opened to settlement. He
financed the first campaign that Den
mis- r. Flynn made for congress and is
accredited with being the author of
Flynn's famous campaign for free
homes for Oklahoma settlers. In ter
ritoIial days he was a candidate at
one time for delegate to congress
against Bird S. Mcclure. the present
from the First district.
1t is admitted by Mr.. McNeal's op-
ponents for the nomination for gov
ernor that he won practically on his
campaign slogan Of Il favor more
business and less politics This has
become a general campaign cry for
the republican party. McNeal went
on record during the campaign against
the disfranchisement of the negroes
Of the state. In addition to being en-
iorsed by the Anti-Saloon League as
a favorable candidate for governor,

BRYAN BELIEVES
that DAHLMAN IS
BOUND TO LOSE
He Predicted a Republican Victory In
The Event of the Mayors Nomi-
nation For Governor.

Omaha, Neb., Sept 22.-The oppo-
sition of w. J. Bryan to the candi-
dacy of Mayor James c. Dahlman, of
Omaha, for the governors chair, was
not surprise to Nebraska Demo
Gratis, as it was foreshadowed in his
speech at the Democratic platform
convention at Grand Island two
months ago.
Mr.. Bryan has made fight for the
incorporation of county option plank
in the platform and was defeated by
vote of more than three to one.
The convention also declined decisive
ly to adopt a plank against county
option and the platform as framed
avoided the issue, merely endorsing
the o'clock saloon closing law of the
State.
Mr.. Bryan from the platform de-
clared a Republican victory probable
as result of the evasion, the Repub-
lican convention having adopted a
county option plank.
Mayor Dahlman, then a candidate
for the nomination for governor, said
from the platform that if elected gov
ernor he would veto any county op
ton measure should one be enacted
by the Legislature during his term Of
office. He also asserted his antagon
ism to the o'clock closing law ant
said he would aid in the passage ant
sign any bill repeating it.
Governor Shallenberger, who wa
defeated for denomination by Mayo
Dahlman, announced his determine
tion to rigidly enforce the s o'clocl
closing law throughout the State, es
pecially in Omaha, where it has bee
disregarded. This probably resuite
in his defeat, the vote in Omaha bein
heavily against him. Mr.. Bryan ha
been expected to aid in the campaig
of Governor Shallenberger had h
been renomianted.

Are Waiting to Lynch SWinton Per-

Miss jamie Sharp.

Louisville. Miss, Sept. 22.-Louis-
vile is resting today on powder
magazine, as it were, and there Is no
telling what moment the explosion
may take place. There is intense un-
rest among those who want to see law
and order hold the mastery and eX-
citement has run high ever since late
Tuesday afternoon, when the grand
Jury returned a true bill for murder
against Swinton Permenter, who is
charged with the brutal killing OF
Miss jamie Sharp, the 1S-y 1ar-old
daughter of John Sharp, in a lonely
woodland thicket near Rural Hill,
Miss, about two months ago.
Permenter was not here when the
true bill was returned, and a posse OF
twenty men, who were sworn in by
Judge Mclean after the adjournment
of court, at once left for some poin'
unknown to bring the accused here foI
trial. This matter was kept secret
for a time, but when the Information
finally leaked out there were threats
of vengeance and all sorts of trouble
heard on every side. The posse o.
officers left here last night, and 1t Ii
said will return here with Permentel
some time this afternoon. Every
train will be watched by sympathizer'
of the Sharp family and friends OF tn
murdered girl and if the prisoner cal
Je reached there is no question abou
