last night the subject was "After
the Millenium,-What? Mr.. Masters
said in part:
We learned last Sunday evening
that there were three great events
that will bring the thousand years
of righteousness on this earth fol-
lowing this age in which we live.
"a The glorious coming of our
Lord as shown in the 18th chapter
of Revelations; (2) The overthrowing
of the beast and false prophet, and
their armies; CD The binding of
Satan, the personal devil in the
abyss. Then righteousness will be
exalted in all the earth.
"Now, after the thousand years
have expired, what are some of the
events that will take place? The
word is very plain on this point

wickedness. Satan will be loosed
out of his prison and shall begin
his work of deception among the
nations again-Rev. POTTS.
Then comes the last great re-
bellion. Satan will gather the ma
tions in the four quarters of the
earth for the last great conflict
Rev. 20:S-9
Thirdly comes the destructive
fire, which shall come down from
heaven and devour the last vestige
of the rebellious armies In . Peter
8, we have a description of this same
fire which shall dissolve this earth.

APPOINTMENT OF OFFICIALS S

Oklahoma City Oct. 26.-When
Governor Cruce retires from the

hale years of his term, the governor
has made twelve appointments to
fill vacancies in elective offices,

and six state officers.
Governor Cruce has a little more
thar two months before the eXpira-
tion of his term in which occasion
may demand the making of more
appointments. The record he has
already established is not believed
to be equaled by any other chief ex-
ecutive in the country during the
same length of time.

ficials he has made are:
j. C. McCleland of Oklahoma
City, state auditor, succeeding Leo

ing Stillwell H. Russell, who re-
signed to accept appointment to the
supreme court
F p Branson of Muskogee, dis
trict Judge of Third district, sue
ceeding r. c. Allen, resigned.
In addition to these the governor
appointed the present board of agri-
culture, which, it is expected, will

FAIR BILL PLEASES
GARRTCE TRONYD

AAhAAAA n 7 wv -
A hilarious reception was given the
Fair Week bill at the Garrick The
atre last night. II scored a tremen-
dous hit from the time the curtain
went up, and the interest continued
TO the end. OF course willard Simms,
with his side splitting paper hanging
stunt, was the comedy hit of the
evening. though several other acts
rushed him for first place.
Pop" Ward, "the county Sheriff,
was also a scream. Pop" is widely
known as Anna Held's comedian and
his present act does justice to his
remarkable ability as a comedian. He
gets of a lot of comedy that keeps
the audience convulsed. The Prim-
rose Four did themselves credit with
their most interesting act This is a
male quartet of unusual ability. and
it made a great hit with the Garrick
audience last night. The quartet
weighs 900 pounds A clever COM
edy dancing act was given by the Du-
For Trio, who are good dancers and
good comedians The Boy Scouts, in
their fine musical offering, made a
big hit with the audience. A clever
musical comedy juggling act was
given bv the four Charleses, and it
proved quite a novelty. Willie Rialto
appeared in an elaborate posing act
