"The book called Revelation is the
Apocalypse the revealing or the I'M
yelling of Jesus the Christ. IN l Cor.
II and 2 Thes. II we find the same
word apocalypse and these verses
refer to the Second of our Lord. The
| Second Coming is the theme and it
| is also in the text: Behold he cometh
with the clouds says John in the
prologue, Rev. IL and the book clos
es with Behold ] come quickly. Amen:
come, Lord Jesus The first three
chapters cover the church period and
| from the fourth chapter the book
| deals with the events of Christs sec
ond coming and following events.
When Jesus in the fifth chapter
receives the book out of the hands
| of the Father which book is the title
| deed to this earth. He then proceeds
| to break the seal in the sixth chapter
and rid the earth of evil by bringing
| the present age to the end. The
! first seattle white horse displays
| the victorious missionary hosts who
are pressing the fight on their far
| flung battle lines. The second seal
shows. the red horse which reveals
| this terrible European war. They are
to take peace from the earth and are
to Stay one another which they are
doing all right, and to him was given
| sword, great weapons of destruction
as seen in this war This is followed
by the black horse of famine. This
is aperfect description of Europe to-
| day and it will grow in virulence. The
next horse has for its rider death and
Hades follows after. This is pesti-
lence. This is sure to follow where
there is sufficient food and half bur,
led bodies, etc.
Rev. 6:S tells us are not guessing.
The fourth part of the earth, to
kill with the sword and with famine
and with death of pestilence.' Now
we see only one fourth part of the
earth is directly in the war, and that
is Europe. This is not world war.
Europe has 40G,OOO,0O which is a
fourth of the population of the world
which is 1,600,000,000. SO America

which indicates their return to their

SANTA FE HAS ANOTHER GOOD
REASON FOR BUILDING LINE
SOUTH OUT OF LINDSAY - A
PROSPECTIVE OIL FIELD.

The crew of Santa Fe railway sur
veyors, which 10 now working south
out of Lindsay, is camped twenty
miles south of Lindsay. Ardmore had
half way hoped that after the To-
eating Engineer j. w. Stewart had
gone over the country from Ardmore
to the oil fields and had made a ia
vOrable report with reference to cost
of construction, and also as to ton
mage that the Santa Fe would change
its plans but the road continues to
prosecute its survey south of Lindsay
and there is every reason to believe
now that line of road will be CON
structed south out of Lindsay.
There is another reason now why
the Santa Fe would favor such
road and that reason is found in the

RUMORS HAVE BAD EFFECT
Prices Tumbled After Attaining New
High Level Friday.

Chicago, Nov. 12.-Rumors that a
German submarine had sunk a steam
er in the Gulf of Mexico caused the
wheat market to have n sinking spell
late Friday after prices had touched
a new high record for the season. The
close was weak at Sl.SS II to S1.SS "a,
December and S1.92 II May, with the
market as a whole l 1-2c lower to a
like advance as compared with yes
terday's finish Corn gained 5-Sc to
3-Sc oats 3-Sc to 5-Sc and provisions
CSC to $l.30.
1t was not until the sst fifteen min
utes of the session tha, wheat prices
underwent a decided setback. The
bears seized the opportunity and
pressed the selling while the pit was
disconnected by the prospect that
shipments from gulf ports and from
the Atlantic seaboard would perhaps
be greatly curtailed by the supposed
peril from submarines.
Prices of corn toHched the highest
since 1892 Oats advanced. Provis-
ions rose higher than they have been
before in forty-siX years.

for a field there. The report of the

column of this mornings paper.

HALL AWARDED
WAS SUCCESSFUL IN COMPETl-
TloN WITH ALL OTHERS. HE
HOPES TO BEGIN WORK SOON.

Now that the election is a thing
tion to building activity with renew.
ed energy OF the many big things
planned the first will probably be
the erection of the convention hall
as ii has been definitely settled that
the award for the plans has been
made TO the j. b. White company
of this city who were given the con
tract Friday night and as soon as
the contract is let work will begin.
The city commissioners will ask
for bids at once and no doubt the
work will be well under way before
the first of the year.
The plans call for most imposing
structure of two stories and base
ment that would ornament any CITY.
and will be large enough to accomo-
date any gathering that convenes in
Oklahoma for many years to come.
The plans call for building com
plete in every detail with splendid
factors for safety, there being no
less than eleven exits that NAV be
used in case of emergency and Mr..
White states that the building filled
to capacity could be completely emp
tied in less than ten minutes.
The cost is within the limit Of
fifty thousand dollars and this in
cludes the building and furnishings
complete The building proper will
be approximately 12SxS5 feet and will
have a seating capacity slightly in
excess Of 1000. The main auditorium
will be fitted with commodious
stage capable of holding any kind of
attraction that should desire to visit
the city and in addition to the main |
floor has a gallery with a seating |
capacity of approximately 500 people. |
The basement will contain the ban
quet hall, ladies rest room, toilet |
rooms and committee rooms. The |
banquet hall can also be utilized for |
most meetings when it is expedient to |
hold them without lighting the entire
building. The entrances will be on
c street and Broadway. and both are
very attractive according to the plans.

finally rejected also called for some
very fine features, but the city com.

and awarded the contract to him. The

will retire from public office on the
first of January. His time viii eN-
pire at that time and he was not a
candidate for reelection. He has

friends who wish him success when
he retires. The frequency of his Wis.

is making some investments in oil

BRITISH FOREIGN SECRETARY
 SAYS GERMANS ARE LOSING

LONDON, July 20.-The tide has turned in favor of the Allies, Sir Ed ward Grey. British foreign secretary, recently elevated to the peerage, de- clared in a letter to his constituents this evening The letter published in the same editions of newspapers that chronicled a four-mile British ad- vance to the third line of the German denfensive system north of the Son. me and an advance by the French troops in the same region made pos sible by the British successes. The declaration of the foreign secretary represented the best judgment of sob CT English critics who, while rejoicing in the Allied gains, realize that the great offensive movement has only begun.
 Sir Edward himself sounded a warn ing against excessive optimism as the result of the Anglo-French gains.
 Tt will need all our energy and much sacrifice yet for a safe and lasting and right minded peace" he wrote.
 But happily it is true that things are going so favorably for the Allies as to justify the fairest expectation of final success. Weekly now, the Allies are gaining confidence and the enemy is losing it."

 Frustrated.

LONDON, July 20.-Fighting con tinues at various points along the bat tie front in the region of the river Somme, but there has been no change with the exception of the loss by the British of a small part of their line, says an official statement issued by the war office this afternoon. Attempts of the Germans to raid trenches west of Wyschaete and south of La Base Canal were frustrated by counter at tack.
 Terrific bombardment by the Ger mans on the Verdun front is reported by the French war office.
 The statement says that immediate objectives of the Germans attack ap- parently are Fort Souville, Chenois and Laufee works.
 The British are still engaged in clearing the Germans from fortified positions which must be taken before the general offensive can be renewed.

 They escaped from the camp at Limburg after nearly killing a guard. They managed to reach the German frontier, but instead of going into Holland, they wandered into Belgium, where they were arrested.
 At their trial they stoutly denied having assaulted the sentry. They claimed the landstrum soldier whom they were said to have overpowered was drunk and hurt himself by fall ing. While the guard was lying on the ground in a stupor they skipped out of the camp, according to their version.

 BUSINESS MEN.

SEATTLE, July 20.-The police last evening seized a carload of bottled beer consigned to Alaska business firms, and immediately proceeded on the order of Mayor Gill to destroy every bottle.
 Authorities differ here as to whether they have a right to destroy property in transit, and action will be taken, it is said against the authorities. The supposition is that the beer was ship ped at the instigation of the Whole sale Liquor Dealers Association, the members of which want to make cam- paign material out of the action of the Seattle people.
