Rev. Virtes Williams delivered the
sermon and his thought was excellent
He spoke only 35 minutes but in that
time gave man; good points and ad-
vice to all, as well as to the graduates
Rev. Williams is a deep thinker and
has perfect control of the language
which enables hint to express himself
before all intelligent audience and
graduates of any school. To illustrate
he used many figures of speech and
most excellent comparisons.

tion during the afternoon tomorrow.
Stroud, Okla , June 2.—Jas. Tie, Joe
Lads and a Mr. Ladd of Bristow, have
been in the city asking for a donation
to help send a delegation to urge the
ratification of the Creek treaty.
By the provisions of the treaty the
Indians will be allowed to sell three of
the forty acre tracts out of their 160
acres at the appraised value, and this
means that all of the rich lands lying
east of this city will be owned and
tilled by white men, and without any
doubt the remaining forty acres be-
longing to the Indian will be leased.
The Indians under the provisions of
the treaty will be made citizens of the
United .States and d°bts can be col-
lected from them as well as from any
white citizen. This treaty means too,
that the Indians have all of the privi-
lege* of United States citizens in the
territory. The opening up of this ter-
ritory in such a manner means that
many white people will secure splendid
farms at a reasonable price.
He Succeeded.
Governor Jenkins made his first offi-
oial appointments last Saturday, and
the first one of which was C. 0- French
of Erwin, as secretary of the Live
Stock commission to succeed Peter A.
Becker. Mr. Becker tendered his res-
ignation to Governor Jenkins and was
accepted. J. L Watkins, of Cleo, was
made live stock inspector to succeed"
Joe Sherman, who was appointed by
Governor Barnes.
Dr. L. J. Allen was appointed to act
as veterinary surgeon to work under
the direction of the live stock sanitary
commission.
It is stated that Governor Jenkins
has named a hoard of appointments
who are to nominate men for the offices
in the new country. The board con-
sists of William Grimes, Dennis Flynn,
Horace Speed, Tom Ferguson, Joseph
McNeal and Harry Thompson. There
are at least 500 people who are wanting
jobs in this country and as there are
loss than 50 to be tilled the matter of
making the best appointments will be
a difficult one.
If a person sets his aim for some cer-
tain thing and has the push and ener-
gy to reach the mark laid out, he w
succeed. On* young man who entered
college here last fall hsd that required
push and succeeded. He had money
enough to carry him through until the
winter holidays. Lie rented a room,
and worked, cooked and studied, and
with the intention of staying the full
year if possible. When college closed
he remarked to the owner of the house
in which he had been living that he
had made it and would be back next
winter. During the time he had pur-
chased two suits of clothes, had plenty

The Payne county normal institute
opened this morning with a good at-
tendance. The instructors are Supt.

who enrolled today.
Washington, June L.—The new army
reorganization law provides that all
volunteers in the service shall be mus-
tered out by June 30, the end of the
present fiscal year. It will bean aoso-
lute impossibility for the War depart-
ment to comply strictly with the terms
of this law, for the reason that General
MacArthur has been delayed in for-
warding the volunteers from the far
EaBt to San Francisco. During the
last ten days of June nine regiments
are due to arrive in San Francisco from
the Philippines. In order that these
men may be mustered out with the ut-
most rapidity, an extra force of pay-
masters and pay clerks has been order-
ed to the coast, and everything will be
done to rush through the pay accounts
of the volunteers, so that they may be
discharged. But even if the accounts
are checked and passed by the paymas-
ter on the ground, it will be necessary
for the paymaster general's depart-
ment, the commissary department and
the quartermaster's department to fur-
nish the neccessary receipts to officers
and non-commissioned officers to show-
that they are square with the govcrn-
Trouble At Star Valley.
Church troubles and family fueds
are common, very common, in all parti
of the country, and some parts of this
country have their share. In Star Val-
ley, trouble which has been growing
and becoming a little worse each time,
came to a focus Sunday in the Sabbath
school when one of the member* asked
a children's day committeeman to re*
sign her place.
It seemed that owing to ill feeling
in the neighborhood a great deal of
trouble was caused as to where the
children would meet and practice.
East week all went well until it came
to the night when the practice was to
be held at a certain home. Then it
started. One man forbid his children
to go to that place, as he did not think
they were as spiritually inclined a*
they should be, and finally in Sunday
school it was suggested that one of the
young ladies 011 the committee reiign,
which they thought would remedy
things. A regular church quarrel took
place and Sunday school ceased to be
a Sunday school. At the preaching
services Sunday night the row* was re-
newed, and the minister thought it best
to pronouce the benediction and close
so this being done the lights were
blown out and lamps broken and the
quarrel partially stopped.
These same church people have been
roaring at the boys for playing ball 011
Sunday, but now the boys will continue
ment. This, of necessity will take
some time and it will probably be July I to play, as they think Sunday ballplay-
15 before all the men now in the Phil- jng is tio worse than church quarrels.

This young man is to be congratulat-

and no doubt will.

Did Not Die-
The other day a robust liar let loose
a story of how he tried to kill a chinch
bug. He fed him i>oison, erackedjhim
in the doors and froze him in ice. The
bug always came up smiling a fiendish
smile and looked at him with a sardon-
ic eye. f inally lie carried the bug to
a foundry and dropped it into a ladle
of melted iron. Then he went off
chuckling. I.ast week his wife broke a
ball grounds. The game stood 3 to !'
at the end of the lirst half of the l-'th
inning and on the last half of the 12th
the Perry boys run in a score thus
throwing off the tie.
Twelve innings were played ami al-
though the Perry team was victorious
the Guthrie boys felt good over their
defeat.

there can be turned into private citi-

There is certain to be criticism. If
the War department should discharge
these men before they are paid the fin-
al payments due them, therevvou'd be a
howl. On the other hand,"if they are
retained in the service beyond the date
fixed by law for their discharge, the
ofiicials will be accused of fprcing the
men to remain in the army against
their w"l. Still the difficulty cannot
be av< ed in any possible way, and
some ! <f the friends of the volunteer
soldiers will be compelled to wait a
week or two after their return to Cali-
fornia before they can greet their
friends.

The board of regents of the a. a M.
