this hatred which had been smolder-
ing so long broke into open rebellion
and further into the revolution, now
gladly would the higher classes have
been willing TO refute and give Jus
tice The time for this was past, and
retribution fell with accumulated force
from having been withheld 50 long.
The inequality in the masses Of to-
day Is due, not wholly to the difer-
ence in intellectual capacity, but In
measure to the shiftlessness and lack
of energy and judgment shown by the
common people. These people let their
opportunities glide by. This Is the
reason they do not gain wealth. II Is
the man that takes every opportunity
that comes that makes his mark in the
world, for
There is a tide in the affairs OF men
which, taken at the flood, leads on to
fortune;
Omitted, all the voyage of their life
Is bound in shadows and in miseries.
AS a man rowing in a stream in
which there is a whirlpool After he
takes one misstroke and is within the
centrifugal force, ii does not help him
to know that 1t was the one stroke
that brought him to destruction The
chance is past; he cannot quell the an
CRY waters. The poet Bryon gave vent
to this idea in these different words:
"Oh could feel as l have felt--or be
what I have been,
or weep as / could once have wept DER
many a vanished scene;
AS springs in deserts found seem
sweet, all brackish tho they be,
So might the wither'd waste of life,
those tears would flow to me-"
There are hundreds, yes thousands
of people that are following the
throng of could have-dones." Do not

nothing to gain by this WHAT is past,

no calling back of life and youth,
neither is there a calling back OF
chance.

.BRYAN'S ADDRESS
ENDS CONVENTION
Annual National Conservation Congress
Comes to Successful Close in
Kansas City.

Kansas City, Mo-, Sept. 2S.-After
William ]. Bryan had delivered an ad.
dress last night before a large AUDI
ence in Convention hall, the third Ma
tional Conservation Congress finally
adjourned.
Conservation" said Mr. Bryan, "is
a subject that grows. Begin, for in-
stance, with the consideration of for.
estry and you are confronted with the
soil question. Agricultural colleges as
the panacea for farm ills then come be-
fore you. But at last you come to the
matter of social conditions. This is
the question of man himself His
health, his hopes, his character are the
great controlling principles that govern
life and conduct. These become pri-
mary subjects and all other forms of
conservation become methods through
which he works out the problem of ad-
vancement."
Mr. Bryan was on the platform when
Walter L. Fisher, secretary of the in
terror, addressed the congress yester-
day on the subject, Conservation and
the Public Domain"
A general demand for a speech from
Mr. Bryan prompted him to make an
informal talk, in which he said that all
utterance on conservation by the sec
retary of the interior was of mora in
terest than that of any other man, for
while other men can advise, he can
act.
When Mr. Bryan sat down many of
! the spectators started to leave but an
announcement from the chairman that
letter from former President Roose-
welt was to be read, stopped the con
fusion at once. Mr.. Roosevelt's let.
ter explained why it was impossible
for him to attend the congress this
year.
Secretary Fisher in his speech
strongly urged the passing of govern
ment-owned coal lands, with particular
reference to those in Alaska.

Should Be Seen AGAIN.

The Lion and the Mouse" a play

unbroken duration as a supreme sue
cess, will be brought to the Grand
Theater in the early future by the
United Play company While this
great drama may nave been seen and

irons it is fair to assume that they viii
follow the example set throughout the
country in their desire to witness the
dealings and misdoings of John Bur

filled this play with such rapid action
and bright material for serious thought
that one fails to realize the full near
ing of the author in seeing, The Lion
and the Mouse" but once A company
of players said to surpass any yet seen
in this play will enact the many diff
cult roles. The scenic equipment will
be complete in every detail and a de.

MOB. LYNCHES WHITE MAN
WHO HAD NEGRO WIFE

Dumas, Ark, Sept. 28.-Breaking in
to the county Jail here yesterday and
over powering officers in charge a mob
of one hundred men took Charles NAL
pass, white man, to water tank
and lynched him. The lynching fol
lowed a fight late Tuesday at the home
of Malpass, in which Sheriff w. d.
Preston, Deputy Sheriff Barney Stiel
and two mulatto sons of Malpass were
killed and Malpass wounded
The officers had gone to the Malpass
home to arrest the two sons NAL
pass injuries were at first believed to
be mortal but when he was brought
here and placed in Jail his wounds
were found not to be dangerous.
The wife of Charles Malpass, a negro
woman, and Malpass' younger son, q
young mulatto, escaped from the house.
The authorities say they do not think
the negress and the boy engaged in
the fight Tuesday and for this reason
the two will not be sought.
The authorities say there was in.
tense feeling against the Malpass fam
lily because Malpass had married 4
negress.

BARNUM AND BAILEY
AMAZE BIG CROWD
From Beginning of Parade Until End
Of Last Performance The Show
is Rare Sight.
From Thursdays Daily

From Thursdays Daily
1t is estimated that at least 10000
people saw Barnum & Bailey's shows
here yesterday while hundreds of
.others were here to see the parade,
and made circus day an opportunity to
come to town to do their shopping.
In all of that throng it is doubtful
if there were a dozen persons, who
were dissatisfied with the splendid
tshows. The writer has gazed in won
der upon the great menageries of Ring
Ilings, Forepaugh & Sells Bros, Wal
Ilace-Hagenbeck and many others of
, the best shows, and has been amazed
at the marvellous performances of the
trained animals and remarkable feats
of daring of the circus performers, but
never before had seen such a wonder
full collection of animals, such we'll
trained horses, monkeys, elephants
and other animals, nor such acts as
presented by this great show. From
the time the blare of trumpets an
nounced the start of the parade at
noon, the great circus was a rare spec
tacle of interest and amazement to
the great crowd.
The fact that the show was so late
getting into Vinita made it impossible
| to clean the hundreds of horses for
the parade and they looked dirty and
took away some of the splendor of this
great pageant The parade, even at
that, was something remarkable and
is a big feature of the Barnum C
Bailey shows.
With thousands of people watching,
the grand entry of the circus proper
began at 2:30 for the afternoon per-
formance and at o'clock for the even
ing show. This grand entry was
beautiful pageant of horseback riders,
chariot drivers, floats and of the so
called 'led" animals.
To attempt to tell of the various acts
that were remarkable would be to name
each number on the program The as
cent of Jupiter, the magnificent white
horse, in a balloon, and the work of the
lady slack wire performer, probably
standout as the most remarkable of
the circus acts. However the work
of the aerial trapeze performers and
tumblers, as well as an exhibition of a
bunch of trained elephants, shared in
the applause of the great throng of
spectators. Taken all in all the
Barnum & Bailey shows made a most
pleasing exhibit in Vinita, and their
visit to this city will be the subject
of reminiscence for years to come.

STATE RESTS CASE IN
TRIAL OF BOD DAVIS

Muskogee, Okla, Sept. 2S.-The
state rested Wednesday afternoon in
the murder case of Bob Davis, charged
with the murder of Deputy Sheriff
James Work, last May. Anon Davis,
who was jointly charged with the MUIR
der, was discharged Wednesday on
motion of the prosecuting attorney.
The death of Work was a result of the
Davis-Hester feud in the southern part
of Muskogee county.
The state played it's trump card We'd
nesday when it placed on the witness
stand Bud" Robertson, an eye wit
ness, who was with Work when he
was killed. He told the story of the
fight in detail, and admitted that Work
fired the first shots The state is bas-
ing its case on the theory that Davis
killed Work, knowing that the deputy
sheriff was trying to serve warrants
on him. Work was a prominent mem
Der of the A. H. T. A.
The defense will make its fight on
the theory that Davis did not know
that Work had warrant for him and
that he fought back and killed Work
because he thought he was being at
tackled at his own home. On account OF
the bitter feeling over the feud, none
except women are allowed to enter the
courtroom during the trial without be-
ing searched for arms.
The bloody shirt that Work wore
when he was killed was exhibited in
court Wednesday and the widow was
called upon to identify it. She broke
down and had to be assisted from the
witness chair after the ordeal.
