YOUNG WOMAN LEADER IN
WORI OF SAVING SOULS EXCLUDED
Butfntii Meeting Held Sunday With VliHing
Minister ae Moderator—Motion to Expel
Guilty Pair it Carried by an Unanimous Vote
80 far as the congregation is con-
cerned the preacher sensation is a
thing of the past
The congregation of the Nowata
Baptist church did net flinch in the
face of daty. Summary action was
taken with the preacher and one mem-
ber of the church at the regular morn-
ing services last Sunday-
At the conclusion of the services
the church held a business meeting,
in which matters of church discipline
were up forbearing. The Rev. W. S
Wiley, of Muskogee,who had preached
the sermon, was elected moderator or
chairman of the meeting.
Rev. Mr. Wiley gave a Brief sum-
mary of ) renta which had made
the busin ting necessary. His
remarks '    "bajlfnce the same
as the facts published in The Adver-
tiser last week.
The congregation was asked what
action it desired to take.
A motion was immediately made
and seconded that William M. Hays,
who formerly was entitled to write
“Rev.” in front of his name, and had
been pastor of the church, be deposed
as pastor, ce excluded from member-
ship in the cliuach and his credentials
as a minister of the gospel taken from
him. The motion carried unanimous-
Iy.
A motion was then made that Miss
Lilly Tanner, who for years had been
a leader in the church work and a
regular hard working attendant at all
of the mid-week and Sunday services,
be also excluded from membership in
the church.
And thus ends Nowata’s greatest
sensation No comment on Sunday’s
occurences is necessary. Their pub-
lication tells the story. Of course, in
writing about what happened, some
very fancy “trimmings” could be at-
tached that would be intei esting read-
ing, but what’s the use?
The former minister has not been
heard from.
NOTES OF THE CHURCH
The new Sunday School room being
added to the Baptist church will soon
be ready for use. It adds to the
beauty of the church and fills a much
needed want for the Sunday School.
Rev. J. L. Stalcup, a member of the
missionary board, and a strong man,
will preach at the Baptist church next
Sunday. The public is cordially invit-
ed to be present.
A DAY AT TALAIA
Prosperity Reigns at Thriving Utile City
in Rogers County
Its a measly shame that Doc Bass,
one of the leading citizens of Talaia,
did not stay sway from Guthrie when
the con. con. was in session. If he
had not gone down there the prob-
abilities are that Talaia and the row
of townships along there would have
been attached to Nowata county. It
would have been better for both No-
wata and Talaia, for Rogers county
is going to be an expensive affair to
handle and prosperous Talaia will
have her shore of the burden to
carry.’
Moving the Miserable Pretention
depot—that’s what Ira Holderreed
calls it—was a good thing for Talaia.
The railroad company is grading the
right of way on both sides of the
station. Aa aooa as that work is
done the city will drain the railroad
street
Jim Beatty makes a good banker.
Cashier Demmitt and Assistant
Counts were out of town Monday, at
Claremore, and Mr. Beatty was
behind the cannier. Jim is one of
the sort of men who make a success
of anything to Jwhich they turn their
hand.
ira Holderreed has his Times far
ahead of the town. He is publishing
a sixteen page, foar column paper,
chnek full of bright news. He cov-
ered the Haywood muider in genuine
metropolitan style and sold a large
number of extra espies. He has one
of the best equipped small country
shops in the Territory. He and Mrs
Holderreed are both Anderson, In-
diana, people and the salt of the
earth—most all Hoosiers are.
Doc Kelly, of Nowata, is moving
the old Beatty store room to face on
the other street.
Ten car loads of cattle were shipped
from Talaia Monday. Business was
rushing for several hours. Last
week a special train load of cattle, in
charge of the live stock agent of the
railroad, wa* shipped from Talaia.
The importance of this place as a
cattle shipping point is rapidly grow-
ing.
There is some talk of another pros-
pective well for oil being drilled qn
the townsite.
Deputy Marshal Basil Stepp was in
town Monda-, securing witnesses for
the preliminary hearing of Andy
Daniel, who is charged with murder-
ing Haywood Rowe. Basil is going
to be a candidate for the repub’icar
nomination for sheriff of Rogers
cocnty. If nominated he will re-
ceive a large number of democratic
votes—and those sort will bo neces-
sary, for Rogers county is hopelessly
democratic.
Appointing Census Enumerator*
Hart Momaem, who is in charge of
the federal census work for the third
congressional district, has completed
outlines of the enumeration districts
and Monday began the appointment
of enumerators for each enumerator’s
district.
The map shows 290 districts. As
near as possible the townships pro-
vided by the constitution will be
followed in arranging the districts.
Where the population is dense the
district will be cut Up. It is estimated
that one enumerator will be able to
canvass each district in ten or twelve
days.
After the enumerator will report
daily to the Muskogee office. They
will be paid from $3.50 to $5 a day.
It is believed the hardest place to
secure the correct census will be in
the hills of the Cherokee nation,
where the country is sparsely settled.
a most valuable addition to the fans
and his bubbling good nature did a
large part towards knocking the
knockers. With Frank Rollicksome
present in the bald headed row in
the grand stand Nowata can walk
away with those sharks from Neo-
desha.
OTHER SUNDAY GAMES
The second edition of Yellow Kids
went down to Talaia Sunday and left
a score of 12 to 3 against them.
The Lightning creek colored team
defeated the Nowata White Sox at
Ateletic park Sunday afternoon ly
the score of 8 to 7.
Found in Read Unconscious
Arthur Wigger, a farmer living
near the Martin farm, aontb east of
Nowata, was found unconscious in
the road between here and hia home
Tuesday morning. He left Nowata
Monday evening and it ia presumed
lay in the road all night.
Dr. B. W. Freer is attending
Wigger and says that his condition
is critical. He is in a comatose state
yet.
About two weeks ago a buggy ran
owr him and since then he has
suffered. It is thought that Wigger
sustained concussion of the brain.
proper deposit of these funds, and * e
chargeable with a reaaorable amount
of interest on same.
This ruling will prove of great con-
venience and benefit to guardians
and wards alike, as it assures prompt
action on the funds, and places them
where they will be earning something
for the minors, without so much
delay and red tape as has been the
case heretofore.
Candidatc for County Superintendent
John T. Weathers, of iaton, this
week announces his name as a candi-
dite for the republican nomination
for the office of county superinten-
dent of'schools, Mr. Weathers is a
life time republican, having cast his
first vote f> r John C Freemont. For
three terms he was superintendent
of schools in Cass county, Missouri.

is qua'ified to perform the duties of
the office.
^    Williams—Hudson
Ora Williams and Miss Nellie Hod-
son were married here Sunday and
left at once for Tyro, Kansas, where
the groom has purchased a barber
shop. Both young people are well
known' in Nowata and will have the
congratulations of a large number of
friends.

BY A HOODOO SCORE
Nowata Game With Coffeyville a Comedy
of Errors
If there is anything in voodooes
and hoodooes its all up with the No-
wata Greys. If ever there was a
hoodooed bunch it was the crowd
which, in 1896, followed after W. J.
B. and the free silver fallacy—and
the score in Sunday’s base ball game
was sixteen to one. Pretty fierce,
aint it? And looks bad for the
future of the Greys?
Then a fellow heard Mitchell say
that two black cats ran across his
path as he was on his way to the ball
ground.
The game w»s a comedy of errors.
No one knows how many errors wer^
made, because no one kept count
As is usually the case Coffeyvilto sent
down an aggregation of mutts in the
business, lads who couldn’t if they
would and who wouldn’t if they could.
The game was without features
About the only interesting period of
the game was Mitchell’s failure to
touch third base as he was slowly
trotting around the bags, the ball
having been lost. He was called out,
and of course the lad with the raven
locks had a gentle word or two to
utter to the umpire. But then those
black cats had made trouble.
Frank Rollicksome Bridgman was
L R. Schreck fur Recorder
L. R. Schreck, the well known mer-
chant and farmer of Ruby, this week
authorized the Advertiser to make
his announcement as candidate for
the republican nomination for register
of deeds of Nowata eaunty. Mr.
Schreck is a life long republican, an
old resident of Nowata county, has a
wide acquaintance and would make
an exceptionally strong candidate for
the office whieh he seeks. He is in
every way qualified for the work. If
Mr. Schreck is nominated Nowata
county is assured of one fact, its
first recorder will be a republican.
GiLLULY HAS NO OPPOSITION
U. S. Commissioner will be First Judge
of Nowata County
Around the Rabbit’s foot, which
United States Commissioner William
F. Gilluly constantly carries in his
left trousers pocket, is a wrapper
A DRILLER IS “CHOPPED UP”
Roy Cyphert, a driller on one
the Powell and Frazier leases in the
Coody’s Bluff district, has learned
that taking another man’s part in a
squabble is dangerous business. Last
Monday night there was trouble on
the lease and Cyphert announced
that a certain fellow should not be
Whipped.
Instead he got the worst of the
deal. Cyphert was attacked and cut
and beaten. He was brought into
town about 1 o’clock in the morning
and taken to the office of Dr. E. F.
Collins, where his injuries were
dressed. Five stitches were taken in
an ugly cut across the abdomenr
There were gashes and bruises ever
the toft eye and under the arm.
Change In Guardians Ruling
Judge Gill has been advised by
Dana H. Kelsey, U. S. Indian agent
at Muskogee, that the department of
the Interior has modified the ruling
permitting guardians to receive
money due their ward from royalties
on oil leases without a special order
from the court, for amounts not ex-
ceeding $50 per month.
Heretofore guardians could not
draw this money for their ward
without a special order of court.
Under this ruling, guardians will
De required to accurately account
for all money thus drawn, and will be
held as heretofore, responsible for
upon which is printed the single word.
“Popi larity.”
• Judge Gilluly will be the first coun-
ty judge of Nowata county.
For weeks before the democratic
primary there was nervousness in the
ranks of that party. Whethtr Gilluly
would be a candidate was the un-
answered question. Finally tho com-
missioner let the impression go
abroad that he would ask for the re-
publican nomination. That settled
matters with the democrats. They
could not even draft a candidate for
the job.
And the republicans have no other
candidate for the nomination. Judge
Gilluly will be nominated by acclama-
tion in the convention and if he re-
ceives only one vote in the election
he is elected.
Mr. Gilluly was appointed to the
position he now holds five years ago
from Oskaloosa, Kansas. In his
native county he had been elected to
office numerous times. Though he is
partisan almost to extremes, the
Judge’s politics, republican through
and through, is of that character
which does not make enemies in the
opposition ranks. He is a fighter in
the open—the sort of a republican
who never knows defeat.
Judge Gilluly’s fairnes and know-
ledge of law are respected by all
attorneys of the localjbar. That he
will make a good judge is a forgone
conclusion.
