TONIGHT

Besides the objections filed by the
who have objected to
his grotesque pictures Of life in that

show his hair all tousled up and stick

this is nobodys business except Opie's
and is perhaps one of the legitimate
privileges Of genius. A man who can
write books like "The Kentucky Col
onel,' The Juckhns,' etc, is entitled
to wear his hair any way he wants to.
Mr. Read will give one Of his enter
tainment at the Baptist church this
evening under the auspices OF the Y.

and no one should fail to hear him.
His rumor is Of the droll sort that per
meates every fiber Of ones system and
as story teller he has few equals.

Rev. Percy Silver
Speaks Here on
Important Themes

board Of missions Of the Episcopal
church, will visit Chickasha, Monday,
March 18th. Mr.. Silver will be remem-
bered as one Of the principal speakers

copal church held here last spring. A
Fort Worth paper in reporting his
visit to that city says:
"Mr Silver charmed and delighted
every one present He was at his best
and seized the opportunity to urge the
enlistment Of all in the Laymens For
ward Movement. He has the rare gift
Of SO weaving humorous stories into
his remarks as to hold the interest Of
his hearers, as well as add strength to
his argument. He never loses sight
Of the point he is emphasizing, despite
many apparent transgressions. II is
not an easy matter to present the
subject Of general missions 10
crowded congregation IN such way
as to arouse their conscience. The
predominating purpose Of his address
was to make his hearers feel and re-.
cognize their responsibility to their
fellow men near and far away"
Mr.. Silver win speak three times
during his stay in chickasha next
Monday, viz. I'd the women OF st.
Lukes parish and others who may be

try Of ST. Lukes church to make this
a great missionary service and all are

ment that the highway commissioner
should be civil engineer and the
provision placing irrigation matters
in his hands, and reducing the salary
from $4,000 to s2,5OO.

was expected to land the position in
case Of the passage Of the bill.
Work Of the Senate.
The entire day in the senate was de-
voted to revenue bills, because Monday
was the last day on which they could
be considered if an adjournment is to
be taken Saturday as now seems to be
the plan. The senate passed finally
bills by Glover and Barrett, regulating
the sale of commercial feed stuffs, by
Edwards, providing for the formation
of road districts, by Berkey, appropri-
ating s25,OOO for waterworks systems
at the colored university at Langston,
and by Milburn. making taxes due
November /, instead of December 1.
Amendments to the latter bill, chang
ing the time OF delinquency from De-
cember to January and striking out
the requirement Of notice to the tax
payers by the county treasurer were
both defeated.
House bill No. 476 by Milburn was
\ postponed indefinitely III the senate
because Of the fact that it increased
too greatly the maximum levies, es-
pecially in the small counties, and be-
cause Of disinclination to recast the
revenue laws at every session Of the
Legislature.
When the board OF education bill
was signed to be sent to the governor
the pen was presented to Senator
Wynne, who responded with an appro-
pirate speech. stating that he believed
the bill meant the saving Of many
thousands Of dollars TO the taxpayers
of the state every year.

Oklahoma City, Mar. Following a
signed statement issued by officials
OF the street railway company to the
effect that there is no strike among
the employees but that the latter were
simply forced from their work by un-

or Lackey said today that he would

crate its lines until the difficulty is
settled.
The mayor will hold a conference
with members of the commission this
afternoon. He says the company's
franchise demands it to run its cars
except when there is a strike and on
these grounds he asks that the com
mission take charge.
Although no rioting or violence has

VIII Power Alone VIII Not Stop the
Excessive Use of Liquor.
The temperance advocate and total
abstainer are strong in their declara-
ton that drunkenness is a mean. low
and disgraceful habit, from which any
ordinary person can free himself by
the exercise Of his will power alone.
Medical men. by patient research,
have demonstrated that drunkenness
is a poisoning and that the drunkard
is one in need of medical attention.
The disease OF alcoholism caa surely
be cured, thanks to the Neal treat
ment, which has demonstrated that 1t
is an lntallible remedy striking at once
at the roots OF the trouble. There has
/ always been a demand for the treat
meut for habitual drunkenness which
/ can be administered internally. with
out the use of dangerous hypodermic
| injections.
Experience has taught that no treat
ment other than the Neal Cure has
ever been successful in treating drunk
enness In less than four weeks time,
It makes no difference how long a
J man has been drinking. how much or
how little he drinks, or what be drinks,
/ the Neal treatment has never failed
to cure in three days time. and with
! out the use OF that devilish little tor
mentor OF the flesh, the hypodermic
syringe. Just bear in mind that there
is no such thing as a secret cure" for
drunkenness, and you are taking great
risk in administering these remedies.
