TALK OF REVOLT
Leading Paper of Canada Says
Parting of Ways is Now
Inevitable.
Halifax, N. S ,Oct. 28.—The declara-
tion that present relations between
Canada and Great Britain cannot
exist much longer was made today by
the Halifax Chronicle, the leading
newspaper supporter in the maritime
provinces in the liberal party. In an
unusually outspoken editorial on the
recent Alaska boundary award the
Chronicle expresses what it claims to
be unanimous dissatisfaction of Cana-
dians at the action of the British gov-
ernment in the matter. The paper
says:
"This Alaska episode has made it
clear that our existing relations to the
empire cannot be continued much
longer. We are even now at the part-
ing of the ways. Our subordinate
position has been so clearly and so
humiliatingly revealed that it must
speedily becomeutterly unendurable."
paid members and several of them
have been among the most active
woikers in the club Mrs. Egbert is
at present treasurer of the club and
when the organization was put on a
new linanclal basis about a year ago
she did more than any man in the
club to raise the funds which put new
life into the organization and renewed
its usefulness.
No, uo, Hobart, don't crow any
more oyer the one woman member of
your Commercial club wen Chandler
has had four such members in her
club since long before the town of
Hobart was dreamed of And so com-
mon a matter is it for the business
women of our town to help along
every public enterprise that we never
thought to exult over so little a mat-
ter as their joining the Commercial
club.

Oklahoma City, Oct. 29.—An exper

, The report covers the period from
April, 1897 to April, 1903.

torney to collect shortages, and to

AWAY IN THE REAR
Chandler, Not Hobart, Had the
First Women Members of
Commercial Club.
The Daily News-Republican says:
"Mrs. Hannah McBride has made
application and been admitted to
membership in the Commercial club.
This is the only woman we know of
that has ever been admitted to a com-
mercial club. Mrs. McBride has
located here from New York and in-
vested several thousand dollars in
Kiowa county soil, and feels inter-
ested in Hobart's efficient Commercial
club."
Brother Benedict, your little town
is away behind. When the Commer-
cial club of Chandler was organized
in January, 1901, four of its charter
members were women, namely, Mrs.
M. M. Egbert, Mrs. J. W. Fcuquay,
Mrs. D. N. Frazier and Mrs. W. H.
French. All of these ladies were full

Moses Keokuk Dead
From Wednesday's Daily
Chief Moses Keokuk died yesterday
at his home at Sac & Fox Agency,
aged 84 years.
We have been unable to learn fur-
ther particulars than that he had been
sick only since Saturday, but his ex-
treme age made even a slight illness
a serious matter.
Chief Moses Keokuk was one of the
historic characters of the territory
and his passing marks an epoch in
the life of 'he Sac and Fox Indians, of
which tribe he was one of the most
distinguished members.
Chief Moses had lived in Oklahoma
for thirty years. Keokuk, la., was
named after him. It was his home
before he came to Oklahoma. He was
a devot christian and a member of the
Baptist church.
The funeral occurs at the Agency
this afternoon.

ous women's clubs, their purposes and

generally, and it is now receiving the
hearty support of woman clubdom

You will thank God for uis grace.
If a deed she ask of you
Go and do it. through aud through.
She will thank you in her heart
If you kindly do your pari,
And when her lace you chance to see
You'll know her heart from care is free.
Be kind to your mother, so dear to
your heart,
For the time will come when you
must part,
When you shall see her face no more,
For she will be on the golden shore
And you will have but a memory left
Of the one wlio was to you the very best
And then you'll think of the days
gone by
When she was on earth who is now in
the sky,
When she was here to show you
the way
And to kiss you good night at close
of day
And to embraceyou with care-worn arm
As if to shield you from all harm.

In Memory of Mrs. Lyons.
The following tribute to the memory
of a truly-good woman was handed us
by Rev. Edwin Ward, pastor of the
M. E. church of this city:
'She was a faithful, happy, holy
woman—true to her Christ,her family,
her church. She is gone. They have
laid her to rest on the sunny hillside
beneath the grass and the flowers,
where lovingly God keepeth watch
through the hours. With a charity
that never failed she lent a helping
hand to all. Her home like the home
of Mary and Martha to the blessed
Christ, was un open door of light and
strength to the toilers in the Lord's
vineyard. Surely her heavenly home
must be bright aud fair and God hath
said it: 'Neither pain nor death can
enter there.'.
"The last time she attended prayer
meeiing seven young people knelt at
the altar of prayer. The lasi time she
attended the Sunday service she led
the eli ss. Those who were there will
never forget it. Her face shone and
her voice was mellow with the music
of the coming kingdom. She is gone.
We are left to continue the battle.
Farewell, sweet mother in Israel.
May God be with us and keep love's
banner floating o'er us till we meet
again." ■
