Sunday School Resolutions
Of the Oklahoma Sunday School As-
sociation at HI Reno May 23-25, 1905:
Whereas, God iu His goodness has
so wonderfully blessed us in the past
year and brought us together again in
convention, therefore be it,
Kksolved, That the thanks of this
association he extended to our faithful
retiring president, M. McCullough, our
energetic treasurer, Lew E. Darrow,
our retiring secretary, Kev. Win.
Rogers, and his good wife who remains
so faithfully at the wheel during his
absence from the oftice, who have
brought the Sunday school work to its
present flattering condition.
That we thank Mrs. M. G. Ker -dy
of Philadelphia, W. C. Pierce of Chi
cago, and Kev. W. Fred Long of Lit-
tle Rock, Arkansas, for the inspiration
the) have brought this convention.
That we heartily endorse the re
commendations made by Mrs. Geo.
Kusler, Supt. of House Visitation, L.
II. Holt, Supt of Home Department;
Miss Lou Benson, Supt. of Primary
Work, and the most excellent instruc-
tion on Teacher Training given by W.
C. Pierce, and pledge ourselves to go
home and make greater effort iu be-
half of these departments.
That we urge such methods as will
insure systematic and effective in-
struction iu the quarterly temperance
lessons, and the special observance of
the third Sunday in November which
is World's Temperance Sunday.
That we petition the Congress of
the United States to incorporate in
our Statehood Bill a provision for the
prohibition of the liquor traffic.
We recommend that the first Sun-
day in July he set apart as Temper-
ance Statehood Day, as advocated by
the Anti-Saloon League, with special
program aud petition signing, and an
ottering be taken for this work.
That we condemn all desecration of
the Sabbath, such as railway excur-
sions, barbecues, baseball games and
such like, aud petition the Governor
{ the Territory to prevent, so far as
lies within his power, such practices.
That we advocate the highest standard
of Sabbath observance be held up by
our Sunday schools.
We advise that our Sunday school
workers attend the Teacher Training
School at Searcy, Arkansas, this sum-
er.
That we appreciate the presence and
words of good cheer brought us by the
Hon. Leslie M. Shaw, Sec. of the U.
S. treasury, and Hon. Thompson B.
Ferguson, governor of Oklahoma.
That we thank the Topeka and El
Reno telphone company for the free
use of their loug distance lines accord-
ed the delegates of this convention;
ilso the public press for their courtesy
ti advertising the convention and pub-
lishing the reports of the same.
That it is impossible for us to ex-
press our gratitade to the good people
of El Keuo, the various committees,
messenger boys aud girls, aud musi-
cians for their work which has done
so much to make this twelfth annual
convention the greatest in the history
of the association.

Horse Thief Captured.
Deputy Sheriff John 11 inkle captur
ed a young man named Mitchell 111 the
brush seven miles north ami three east
of Norman about six o'clock Mouday
evening. Hi had two horses iu his
possession which he claimed he got
twenty miles north of Shawnee. From
the looks of the horses they probably
were taken from some livery stable.
The young mau was seen going to the
bush early Monday morning and the
parties notified Mr. Hinkle.
The outfit was brought to Norman
and the thief lodged in jail. The larg
est horse is branded with the C
brand.
Later—The Itorses belonged to Mr
Jenkins of Shawnee who was accom-
panied by Deputy Sheriff Carr, arrived
Tuesday aud took possession of the
horses and the prisouer.
The boy proved to be Enoch Hughes,
whose parents live iu Lexington town-
ship. He gave his name as Mitchell,
but was recognised Weduesday morn-
ing when he was taken out of the jail.
The sheiitf received a reward.
Young Hughes will have au opportuui
tp to spend several years at Lansing,
Kausas.
Coterie.
The Coterie has just finished another
year of creditable work. The program
was as interesting as usual and carried
through with a spirit quite flattering
to the program committee. The aver
age attendance has been good and
there are no vacancies. The Bay
View reading course was adopted for
the next year's work. Tim German
course being the subject chosen.
An associate list of five has been
added to the regular list of twenty ac-
tive members. Guests have been in-
vited to two meetings. A banquet was
given the husbands of the members iu
January and a "model breakfast" iu
May. The latter being one of the
most successful entertainments ever
enjoyed by the club members. We
were enabled to donate ten dollars to
the rest room, Fifty dollars to the
city library and expended more than
ten dollars for material to fill a box for
the victims of the Snyder disaster,
earning the money for these benefac-
tions ourselves. The program for
the last meeting consisted of book re
views and discussions of late books.
The response to roll call was "an
original rhyme." The poetical efforts
called forth much merriment. The
three most creditable are given below:
There is a club in our town
That's not so very wise,
For they asked me a rhyme to write;
The joke? It on them lies.
Last Monday afternoon when the
clock struck half past two, eighteen
members of the Coterie, to Mrs. De-
Barr's just flew.
Bent on a mission of charity; each
willingly lent her aid, that to the uu
fortunate of Snyder help might be
conveyed.
Not the usual manuscripts did any
body see.
Just needles, thread and thimbles
and sewing machines three, for in the
path of the tornado many hearts were
sad. Home-made sheets and pillow
cases would help to make them glad.
And ladies were out calling in costumes
white and gay. They never thought
of a thunder shower on such a pretty
day. Would they care to help us?
Sure, their willingness was proof, and
remaining sewed and c'.ut -d while
rain pattered 011 the roof. Did ever a
sewing circle iu this town of ours,make
such splendid use of the fleeting
hours? When ex-presidents with
womens clubs do not agree, they
should come to Norman aud visit the
Coterie.
There was once a gay fellow named
Grover, who said, "Club work makes
women a rover;" but now he woiks
late patching scars on his pate, aud
they say he feels sat on all over.
Decoration Day Observed.
Decoration Day was observed Wed-
nesday. The Odd Fellows and the
members of the G. A. R. met at the
Odd Fellows' hall in the forenoon and
drove to the cemetery to decorate the
graves.
Beginning at 2 o'clock services were
held at the M. E. church. Prof. L.W.
Cole, of the University, delivered the
principal address.
A Remarkable Case.
A habeas corpus suit was filed in
Probate Judge Sharp's court last week
wherein the plaintiff, a Mrs. A, Bry-
an, asks for the possession of June
Bryan, a bright little fellow of nearly
three years, who has been in the poss-
ession of K. W. Allison, a prominent
stockman and farmer of near Lexing
ton, for the past seven or eight months.
Mrs. Bryan alleged that Allison was
unlawfully detaining said child from
its mother.
The defendant in his answer says
that he came in rightful possession of
the chilli through a deed of adoption
granted by the probate judge of Jack-
son county, Missouri, and also by an
oral agreement between'said defendant
and plaintiff before said child was
born.
l ite petion further alleged that the
chiKl was born in Kansas City, Mis-
souri, iu J illy, 1902.
That the mother and father of June
Bryan are the plaint ift s and defendants
in this remarkable case is admitted by
both.
When the case came up before the
court Tuesday afternoon the plaintiff
through her attorneys, Mosier & Dud-
ley, asked that the case be dismissed
without prejudice. The defendant's
attorneys, B. F. Williams and J. F.
Sliarpe, of Purcell, asked the court to
hear the case and not to dismiss it.
The case was taken under advisement
until 8 o'clock when the plaintiff's mo-
tion was granted and the chilli return-
ed to Mr. Allison.
It is common rumor that Allison has
given hundreds of dollars to the mother
in order to keep the child.
It looks very much like another case
of blood money.
K. W. Allison and wife have been
residing south of Lexington since 1S89.
The woman in this most notorious
case has been living at nearly every
point except Norman.
It is likely that other steps will be
taken by the mother to secure possess-
ion of the chilli.
An l:\pert Shot.
Troupe Saxon of Hamilton, Texas,
a professional with the rifle and shot
gun is in the city and expects to or-
ganize a gun club and give an exliibt
tion of his own prowess as a shooter.
He has some first class recommenda-
tions and will doubtless be able to give
our local sportsmen some points in
shooting which will greatly aid them
in breaking the elusive blackbirds.
Later we learn that arrangements
have been made for a "schtzenfest"
Wednesday and Thursday of next
week. A list of premiums has been
made up and will be contested for by
the shooting fraternity in addition to
the entertainment in the way of fancy
shooting given by Mr. Saxon.
Card of Thanks.
Through the columns of the Demo-
crat-Topic we desire to thank our
many friends, the W. O. W. and Odd
bellow lodges for their assistance and
kindness shown to us during our mis-
fortune in the Snyder cyclone.

Court House Contract Let.
The contract for building a court
house and jail was let Monday by the
County Commissioners to S. F. Lee of
Oklahoma City for the sum of #39,830.
The bids of A. (). Campbell of Ok-
lahoma City and Billings & Snyder of
Guthrie were #39,990 and #39,950, re-
spectively.
All three members of the Board
were present. The Commissioners
met again yesterday to make the con-
tract and if no hitch occurs, work will
commence at once. Tin building will
be almost an exact model of the El
Reno court house which cost £| v <>.
The plans and specifications were
drawn by S. A. Layton & Co. ol El
Keno.
Lexington Leader Changes 4sjain.
J. (). Fox sold the Lexington Lead
er Monday to Steve Hutclnn and Fred
Hawk who will take charge at once.
Mr. Fox has owned the plant since
last September and made quite an im-
provement in the paper. The new
management are among Lexington's
best business men and will certainly
give the Lexingtonians a splendid
paper.
Mr. Hutchin is a democrat and Mr.
Hawk a well known republican. We
are unable to make a forecast of its
politics at this time.
$5,000 Residence.
The rock for S. P. Render's #5,000
residence began to arrive this week
and is heiug hauled to his ten acre
tract near the University. The ma-
terial will be Kansas lime stone and
pressed brick.
Chas. Kahoe has the contract for
the stone and brick work and E. D.
Scruggs will do the wood work.
Mr. Render ha: the utmost confi
dence in Norman's future.
