Guthrie, Mch. 8.—Flynn's re-
tirement from the congressional
field will introduce in the tcrri
tory this fall to prominence some
new personality. None of the
aspirants for the republican
nomination is built on the lines
of the present delegate to con-
gress. Flynn's style of cam-
paign will pass with him. Its
nearest counterpart in the his-
tory of the west was the political
tneUiod of Preston B. Plumb of
Kansas, but Flynn's was even
more intense than the Kansan's.
Flynn managed a campaign in
the territory with the same anx-
ious care of detail and endeavor
to see every voter that a man
running for a county office
shows. lie began it when the
territory was like a big county,
lie kept it up as the territory
grew. Most men running in a
large district endeavor to speak
in ail the county seats. Flynn
made it a point to speak in every
county seat not only, but prac-
tically in every town in the ter-
ritory and very frequently in
school houses in the country t.11
the way from town to town.
It is claimed that in one of his
campaigns, that of 1900, he met
J,"i per cent of his constituency,
probably the greatest record
ever chalked up by any man in
the west, for it is figured that
the average congressional candi-
date is seen in the campaign by
only about ten per cent of the
people.
His campaign was personal.
In his long overland drives he
would talk to everybody he met
011 the roads, drop in at farm
houses, make new acquaintances
renew old ones. Ilis faculty for
remembering names and faces is
positive genius. At times it re
sembles clairvoyance. It was
all-inclusive. When he entered
the town, far inland where he
had not been for two years he
know the name of the hotel, the
name of the proprietor, his wife,
the names of the children, the
names of the waiters. He ac-
cumulated intimate knowledge
of the citizens and their affairs,
inquired about them, and fre-
quently gave advice when asked,
on subjects foreign to politics,
For that reason the population
was usually the reception com-
mittee, and the talk that Flynn
made in the morning in front of
a grocery store in a conversa-
tional tone, to the assembled
people, was better and more ef-
fective than the set speech in the
hall in the afternoon. A thous-
and incidents of his wonderful
capacity for never forgetting a
name are current in Oklahoma.

Washington, March 8.—Miss
Alice Roosevelt, daughter of the
president, will not attend the
coronation of King Edward.
While the White House officials
decline to discuss the matter, it
was stated by those in a position
to know that tho president had
decided that she would not go.
It was learned tonight that the
reason that Miss Roosevelt will
not attend the coronation of King
Edward VII, is because it has

The work of preparing the Ok-
lahoma Exhibit for the Louisiana
Purchase Centcnial Exposition
at St. Louis is now in active pro-
gress. One of the most impor-
tant exhibits to be made by the
territory will be that in the de-
partment of Mining and Metal
lurgy under group 116—ores and
minerals.
In this will be shown tho fol-
lowing natural products of the
territory:
Building stones, lime stones,
gypsum rock and cement depos
its, moulding and building sands
clays for brick, pressed brick,
and fire brick, rock salt, salt
from springs and streams, natu
ral mineral paints, coal coke, pe-
troleum, asphalt, natural gas,
and all native ores and metals in-
cluding iron, zinc, lead, copper,
silver and gold.
All these things are to bf
found in Oklahoma and it is de
sired to show samples of the
products of the various qualities
to be found and from what part
of the territory they come.
It is to the interest of every
portion of tho territory to make
the best possible showing of the
products in that section and all
persons knowing of natural de
posits of anything coining un-
der this head should notify Prof.
Chas. N. Gould of the territorial
University at Norman of the
same and whenever possible
send him a sample of the pro-
duct with a description of the
character and extent of the de-
posit. Prof. Gould will have
charge of tho preparation of this
exhibit and every citizen of Okla
homa should be ready to assist
him in every way possible as a
successful exhibit of the natur-
al resources of the territory will
be the means of bringing large
amounts of capital here to devel-
op them.
To Teachers.
The average district school
of Oklahoma closes early in the
spring, leaving two or three
months before the opening of
the county institutes, which
time the teacher may profitably
occupy in attendance at a regu-
lar institutes of learning.
Kingfisher College gives spe-
cial heed to the needs of the
teacher and one may enter the
school any time, sure of getting
the sort of work he most desires.
A very good time to come in
would be Tuesday, April 1, after
the conclusion of the Easter va-
cation of the week. Bring all
the text books you arc ac-
' followed by very bright ones. We
are so thankful to be all well
again and back in our own dear
home.
Mr. Lowe preaches nearly
every day. I look after our girls'
school which is on our own com-
pound; I have fifteen very nice
girls from six to twenty-one
years of age. They already have
learned to sing a number of
hymns, and take much pleasure
in singing them; several of the
older girls aro able to read tho
Gospels. The teacher is a lovely
Christian girl.
What a great contrast between
a Christian and a heathen school!
For a short ti'nall work ceases;
all the members of the school
are gathered together, the voice
of praise is heard, God's word is
read and prayer is offered. Tho
voice of prayer may also be heard
in the heathen school, which
would be very like the prayers
offered in the temples where, the
spiritless prayers are accompa-
nied by a dismal clang of the
gong which sounds more like the
death knoll, than the announce-
ment of a season of joy and re-
freshing for the soul.
The heathen have no school at
all for girls, probably not more
than one woman in a thousand
knows how to road. I think the
light is already beginning to
shine in our mission for women.
Village day schools are being or-
ganized for girls. Mrs. Hart-
well has had a boarding school
for several years. Last Septem-
ber we opened a boarding school
for girls in Pingtu, and at our
last association a committee was
appointed to arrange for a train-
ing class for women, to prepare
them for christian work among
their sisters.
Never wero women more
needy than these Chinese women
are. Their homes are ceiling-
less, fioorless and windowless;
they are small because of ex
treme poverty; they are hot in
summer and cold and dark in
winter; they aro devoid of every-
thing bright and cheerful, open-
ing only on tiny courts and nar-
row streets,where all filth fumes
because every little thing must
customed to use.
Accommodations for male and
female students are excellent.
One may board in the club, at
$1.75 per week and room in one
of the dormitories at $1.00 to
$L' per month.
Some by boarding themselves
reduce even this small cost of
living.

be saved for fertilizing the fields.
Most of the women have seen on-
ly the village in which they were
born and that into which they
were married. All the world
outside is unknown to them.
As the old women seldom
leave their villages, the young
1 women rarely leave their own
homes, and as neither the old
nor tho young women know how
to read, the only way for them to
hear the Gospel, is to take it by
a living voice into their homes.
Women, and women only, may
do it efficiently. Chinese social
customs permit elderly women
to go freely from house to house
and from village to village. There
is no limit to tho number who
may be r< .died and taught by
such. This is scriptural and it
is so cheap that we might almost
hope that with only the number
of missionaries which the christ-
ian people in our dear home land
could send us, and only that
amount of money which christian
women could give, the Gospel
could be made known to every
woman in China.
Our dear christian friends at
home can help us first and most
by their prayers. "The effect-
ual fervent prayer of a righteous
man availeth much." "Ask of
me, and I shall give thee tho
heathen for thine inheritance."
They can help us second but not
least by sending us new mission-
aries. "How then shall they call
upon Him in whom they have not
believed, and how shall they be-
lieve in him of whom they have
not heard, and how shall they
hear without a preacher?"
Tho members of our mission
have requested Mr. Lowe and
me to begin a work in Lai chow-
fu, I say begin because it is
almost a beginning. Last year
Mr. Lowe rented a small house
on the great street and has kept
Mr. Sen, our personal teacher,
there as an evangelist, where he
has preached almost every day.
Before the troubles of last year
this city was exceedingly anti-
foreign. Since tho opening of
this city Mr. Lowe has spent
several weeks in the city and
surrounding villages preaching
and selling Gospels.
The children aud I are going
in a few days to join him in the
work, we shall live in two small
rooms back of the chapel until
we aro abl« to purchase property
for a home.
Lai chow fu is a much larger
city than Pingtu, is a Fu city, be-
ing the head of seven counties,
and is an educational centre for
tho Chinese, and as this is tho
most central station of our North
China mission, we probably will
have our training classes located
here.
I feel that I cannot close this
letter without saying something
of our need. We are the only
missionaries in this heathen city
of many thousands, who have
not so much as heard of Jesus
who came to save them. We so
much need a doctor and a single
lady to help us in opening the
work.
Just as the Master's work is
beginning in this large place of
heathen darkness, and as your
missionaries are going there to
work, I implore you to join us in
this great work of winning souls,
with your most earnest prayers.
Pray that we may bo led every
step of the way by God, and that
every door that is opened, may
be opened by the direction of tho
Holy Spirit.
