CHICKEN THIEVES ACTIVE.
Flock of Fifteen Plymouth Rocks Stolen
Wednesday Night.
Fifteen splendid Plymouth Rock hens
were stolen from John Pullman's chicken
house Wednesday night, undoubtedly
by some onew ho is in the business of
selling poultry. It is hardly probable
that any one would attempt to keep
them in the city. Inquiry developed
that no attempt has been made to sell
the fowls to any of the local market
men. however, and they probably were
taken to some other town near Collins-

Breshear's Head Collided With

George Breahear, twenty-eight years
old. of Muskogee, is dead, and Bill Eaton
of Wagoner, has been released on bond
charged with manslaughter, as a result
of a fight at a dance at home of Cue
lioPorge, five miles west of Wagoner,
Monday night. Dancers rushing into an
adjoining room attracted by a crash of
splintered glass, found Breshears with
Ins jugular vein severed evidently caused
by his head falling thropgh a window
during an altercation with Eaton
There were no eye witnesses to the
struggle. Whether Breshears and Eaton
had been drinking is not known, but
they became involved in an altercation
in one room of the holme. The first the
dancem knew of the fight was When
they hetrd the breaking of the window

gushing from a gaping wound in Rre

HORSE BIT BY DOG,
Another evidence of the value of let-
ting mongrel dogs run loose in the
streets and allowed to chase teams and
automobiles was forthcoming a few days
ago when one of these beasts jumped
and bit the Model Meat Market delivery
horse on the nose, causing the horse to
run away. Fortunately the horse was
stopped before any serious damage re-
sulted, but really was there any use in
the accident happening at all? If you
have any use for a dog, it is at home,
not running wild on the streets.

THE THIEF WAS KILLED.
An example of swift justice rarely
equaled in this or any other field came
to light Monday in the country just
north of Keifer. W. S. Dufford who
has been drilling for Usher Carson at
Red Fork happened to visit the lease
Sunday morning and found a new cable
missing, the thief having taken all but
a couple of hundred feet and there was
nothing to show where he had taken
it except the marks of a peculiar horse
shoe left in the soft ground. Mr. Duf-
ford took Bob Adkins, the marshal of
Red Fork and following the trail south
finally came upon the man lying dead
held down beneath the heavy cable at
the bottom of a river ravine. One of
the horses used by the thief was dead
also, and the team has been identified
as belonging to a junk dealer at Keifer.
Origin and Meaning of the Day
by P. J. Duffy.
Today is Good Friday ami is a legal
holiday in many of the states. The
Holy and Great Friday, m the Greek
Liturgy, Holy Friday in the Romance
languages, Sorrowful Friday in the Ger-
man, in the English delegation of Fri-
day *n Holy Week; that is, the Friday
on which the Greek, Episcopal, Lutheran
and Catholic churches keep the annl
versa ry of the cruieifixion of Jesus
Christ.
While the Greeks retained this use of
the word as applied to every Friday,
the Latin’s confined its application to
the one Friday, Ircnacus and Tertulliaa,'
two of the very early fathers of the
church, speak of Good Friday as the
day of Pasch, but later writers distin-
guish between the paaage to death,
and the passage to life i. e. the reaur
rection. At present the word Pasch is
used exclusively in the latter sense.
From the earliest times the Christians
kept, every Friday as a fast day, and
every Sunday as a feast day, and the
obvious reasons for those usages ex
plain why Easter is the Sunday par ex
cellence, and why the Friday which
marks the anniversary of Christ's death
came to be called the Great, or the Holy,
or Good Friday. The origin of the term
“good is not clear. Some say it is from
“God’s” Friday, others maintain' it is
from the German Guto Freitag, anW not
especially English. Sometimes too, the
day was called Long Friday, by the
Anglo Saxons; so‘also the same term is
uhed in Denmark; no candles or lights
are used in the ceremonials of the Cath-
olic church today. The ministers, clothed
in black vestments, come to the altar
and prostrate themselves for a short
time in prayer, when the celebrants and
ministers ascend, a lector takes his place
on the epistle side of the altar and reads
a lesson from Osee Vf. This is follow-
ed by a tract sung by the choir, and
followed by another lesson from Exo-
dus XII, chanted by the sub-deacon.
This is followed by the reading of the
Passion according to to St. John, Bung
by the celebrating clergymen. The
above order oF lessons, chants and pray-
ers is found in our earliest Roman
ordines dating from about the fifth cen-
tury. The veneration of the cross is
part of the services of the Catholic
church, and during this ceremony the
choir sings the beautiful hymn “Oh
Cross, Our Hope,” and the clergy expose
the cross for veneration by the faithful.
This ceremony originally had immediate
connection with the true cross, which
was founded by St. Helena in Jerusalem
about the year 326. The service of the
church today is called the mass of the
pre-sa’nctified, and no communion serv-
ice is observed, as the omission of the
anniversary of the sacrifice of calvary.
Good Friday is a feast of grief, a black
fast, black vestments, a denuded altar,
the slow and solemn chanting of the suf-
ferings of Christ, prayers for all those
for whom he died, the unveiling and
reverence of the cross.
Tomorrow ends the Lental season and
Sunday will be the feast of the Insur-
rection of the Redeemer, and the cere-
monials in Christian churches on this
day are very impressive.

fn the eighth grade at- high school
the pupils and teacher are much inter-
ested in the cleanup proposition, Wed
nesday several papers were written by
the pupils on the proposition, and we
herewuji produce three of them:
What We Can Do to Clean Up
Collinsville.
To clean up Collinsville we must have
the co operation of everybody m Col-
linsville
First We can care for our own trash
by burning carefully the waste paper,
by putting the old tin cans in sacks or
barrels, and setting the sacks or barrels
into the alley for the scavenger to carry
away, and by properly careing for the
vegetal 'e waste matter.
Second: We can prevent disease and
the bad looks of-the town by draining
the pooh of stagnant water in the
yards, burn or bury all matter or things
subject to decay, and cut the weeds so
as to improve the looks and health con
ditions of Collinsville.
Third. We can improve the down-
town section of Collinsville by putting
the waste paper into the tin boxes on
the corners of Morris avenue and Main
street and Porter avenue and Main
street.. The gutters also can be drained
and afterwards filled up. By so doing
we will, perhaps, prevent, many cases
of disease and prevent, the birth of
many flies and mosquitoes. I have
sometimes seen, in the most prominent
stores in Collinsville, where they open
boxes. of goods, the pieces of paper
which are underneath the outside boards
of the. box, fly out into the street, and
in so doing, scare the horses which are
passing up and down the street and,
therefore, cause, runaways. This is a
bad habit and should not be allowed. •
Now let us get' eusy and clean up the,
rubbish in our yards, so as to attract"
new comers to Collinsville, and they will
say, “Collinsville is a clean town, one
of the cleanest in Oklahoma. I am go-
ing to move here ’’
LAWRENCE EYLER,
Eighth Grade.
We hope all you other people will do
the same WANDA HODGES,
Eighth Grade.
Reasons foi: a Clean Town.
There are several reasons for a clean
town. Some of the principal ones are:
It attracts people to locate; to prevent
disease; to make streets safe for travel;
general appearance.
Many people going past Collins ville
can see the dirty streets, with papers
Gying around and immediately they
say, "What a dirty town!” Sometimes
when people stop here over night when
they are thinking of locating, they
might he persuaded to stay if it was
not for the appearance of the streets,
etc. Now why can’t this be changed?
It could be if the people would only
help. We, the pupils of the eighth grade,
would help, if we could get some people
to direct us.
The people of Collinsville could pre-
vent disease if they would drain all
stagnant water, burn or bury all matter
subject to decay a oil cut weeds.
Sometimes when a horse is going up
a street, or someone in driving it, a pa-
per blows in front of it, or an old box
by the side of the road, on Main street,
scares it. A hole by the. side, or any
place in the road, is dangerous after
dark.
A town that is clean from papers and
every kind of rubbish in very much oret-
tier than one that is no! For example
Collinsville IS NOT.
So, if anyone cares to do tins, as I
have said before, we, all or pa.rr, of the
eighth grade, are ready to help You
will also see two or more boxes on Mam
street to put papers in.

MAUNDY THURSDAY SERVICE.
A Simple Way to Keep Collinsville
Looking Better.
The chief reasons for a clean town
are to prevent disease, to make travel-
ing easy, to make the town loox better
and to attract people’s attention com-
ing from other towns or cities.
Since Collinsville is booming there are
many new people coming here to make
this their home, so the citizens of Col-
linsville want to do everything they can
to make their town grow, and how.,to
do this is the question.
The first thing that I have in view
is to take the business section of Col-
linsville and let all the store managers
see that they or their clerks do not
open boxes behind the stores and let the
paper blow in the streets and all over
the town. The people who have charge
of the grocery stores should not throw
out their decayed matter, 'because it
will create germs.
My purpose for this cleaning up is
that it will attract new comers and
make the town look better.
If there are any stagnant pools of
water in the streets, which there are,
they should be drained into the gutters.
But the question is, “Are the gutters
clean?’ No. THtfy are not clean, they
are entirely choked up with papers and
mud and other such rubbish.
But if all the people oi Collinsville
will NOTICE the waste boxes on the
corner of the streets they will not have
so much trouble with dirty streets.
We pupils of the eighth grade are go-
ing to be careful about throwing paper
in the streets when we are up town.

The Masons, Their Wives and Sweet-
hearts Banquet at Elk Hotel.
Scottish Rite thirty-second degree
Masons, their wives and sweethearts,
attended the Maundy Thursday services
at the Hotel Elk last night. Fifty-six
plates were laid and after the banquet
and the ceremony of “Extinguishing the
Lights,” interesting talks on Masonry
were made by Warren D. Abbott, im-
perial potentate of Tulsa Shrine, and
Rev. M. W. Robison of Collinsville.
George L. Hicks was master of ceremo-
nies.
The gathering last night marks a
new era in. the social life of Collins-
ville and the indications are that more
social gatherings will be held from now
in than there have been in the past.
Mr Abbott in his talk last night
stated that there were about 4,000 'Scot-
tish Rite and about 28,000 Blue Lodge
Masons in the state, and that whenever
Masons were in the habit of gathering
together, there progress and improve-
ment could be rapidly noted, both so-
cLilly- and commercially. “Get together
and you will be surprised at the result,”
,a.s one of his well pointed remarks and
further stated that such “get-to-gether”
spirit wouV make every Mason an en-
thusiastic “boster” for everything that
was good for the individual and the
town.
The ceremony of last night was the
instituting of the ancient usage among
Si otfcish Rite Masons m the observance
of “Maundy Thursday," by Collinsville
members of the chapter of the Rose
frois. Iri the past no elaborate ar-
rangements have been made by the
members of the Rite in observing the
j occasion because of the few membert-
t1.- order m Col bus ville At present
there ire twelve members of
I the diopter of Rose Croix from Fort
S' )f.z, Kansas, Me Ales ter, Oklahoma,
Guthrie, Oklahoma, Wichita, Kansas,
a:id. Hastings, Nebraska.
Th- observance of the mystic feast of
' Maundy Thursday” is made obligatory
upon every Knight Rose Croix by the
statutes of the .Rite. The feast appeals
to each to fulfill one of the highest ob-
ligations owed to the sacred order of the
Rosy Cross. If any discord has dis-
turbed the "brotherly feeling between
members, those members are on that oc-
casion commanded to commune witjk
each other and to adjust all personal
differences and unfriendly feeling be-
fore sitting at the hallowed board of
the Paschal Lamb.
Masonic services will be 'held Sunday
morning at 11:30 o'clock in the high
school auditorium. All Masons and
their friends are invited. Rev, W. ML
Robison will conduct the services. All
members of Collinsville lodge A- F. & A.
M. and visiting Masons are requested
to assemble at the lodge room in the
Lee building at 10:30 o’clock Sunday
morning as they will march to the esrv
ices in a body. .

Forget the Old Town Ways and Adopt
Methods of a City
fn the coming election we must re-
member that Collinsville is a little larg-
er than it used to be It covers a
greater area and has doubled its popti
lation in the past year Its population
is 'composed of what we term the people
of the old town and the people of
smelter town. It is necessary in thin
election that all classes of people be
properly represented. It is necessary
that the smelter people be properly rep-
resented, and it is necessary that the
old town proper, be properly represent-
ed This being th e*-e it is necessary
for each section of „e city to look out
for its representation. The smej.term.en
have a chance to have equal representa-
tion and the old town has the same
right. There is a chance to elect good
men to the council, and there is a chance
to elect good school men on the school

if this is not done. The officers at large
is a matter of common interest to all,
and will no doubt be elected by a com-
mon knowledge of who best can serve
the city in the larger work

Joplin studio. Mr Barnes stated that

they would locate here permanently as
soon as their other studio was d ns posed

There is vastly more at stake in the
coming spring election than the ques-
tion as to whether the city shall have
democratic, socialist or independent of-
ficials. The city is passing through a
critical stage in its affairs. There is
only a limited amount of money to be
spent for which we need a maximum
return. It is conceded that any man
who is a candidate is honest and will
do his best, but there is a difference in •
the ability of these candidates to han-
dle the city’s business. It is your duty
to select the men best qualified alMg
these lines, regardless of their politics.
