church Mr. Roosevelt usually attends ed to be abundantly blessed. Public
when in Chicago, and he is known per-
sonally to many members of the con-
gregation. After the sermon the pan-
tor invited him to the platform, and
the vice president, as has been his cus-
tom when visiting this church, made a
short informal address, telling the
worshipers that true happiness could
be found only by trusting in God and
being faithful to the country.

"One of the most abhorrent traits of
character a man can possess, in my es-
timation, is hypocrisy," said Colonel
Roosevelt. "We all have met men
who go about clothing themselves in
scriptural teachings, yet whose eon-
duct toward their fellow men shows
that tiiey do not live up to the teach-
ings 'Love thy neighbor ns thyself.'

something of a change since the sup-

The evidence introduced by the prose-
cution was not of the most substantial
sort un I Mr. Kali' friends are rejoic
ing in the fact that his attorneys were
able to a certain eitent, even in the
preliminary hearing, to detract from
its weight and effect.
The particulars of the case are per-
haps familiar to most of our readers
and we shall not enter into the evi-
dence or its developments. Mr. Katz
is not yet convicted of the charge as
brought by the territory against him
and perhaps never will be. IIU attor-

the Earn.
The board of regents at its meeting
today arranged to spend the $54,000
appropriated for new buildings at the
A. and M. college. The contracts for
the Library building and the Engineer-
ing building were let to II. M. Vanden-
burgh, of Guthrie, at $17,508 and $10,-
850 respectively, and the contract for
the building of the barn was awarded
to W. B. Gibbs of this city for J!5,600.
It was also arranged to start the work
of building the smoke stack on the
boiler house.
These figures do not represent the
expense of heating and equipment,
but merely the naked buildings.
Work will be commenced at once
and it is the intention of the board to
push the work as rapidly as possible.
Now watch Stillwater get on her new
clothes.
Oklahoma's Own Building.
The board of commissioners to the
St. Louis exposition, composed of F-
L. Wenner, Otto Shutte of El Reno,
and Joseph Meiberger of Enid, met at
Guthrie Monday with governor Jen
kins to consider plans for Oklahoma's
exhibit. The question of the board's
removal was not discussed although it
is a certainty that one member if not
more will go. Strong influences are
at work to retain Shutte as the Demo-
cratic member of the board.
Governor Jenkins favors the use of
Oklahoma material in the construction
of the building, w hich is approved by
the board. It is probable that the
