WHOLESALE SEIZURES
Have Followed an Order Made
by Judge Hainer While Hold-
in"'court Here.
Sentiments of Lofty Patriotism in the Addresses and Recitations.
Program For The Occasion Was Prepared With Pains
•Most Successfully Carried Out.
The sentiment of the blue and the
gray was interwoven with all the gar
lands of patriotism In the memorial
entertainment at the opera house yes-
terday afternoon.
"For the wreck and the wrong of It
boys and girls,
For the sorrow and loss as well
Our hearis must hold a regret untold
as we think of those who fell,
tut their blood, on whichever side
they fought
Re-made the nation and progress
brought.
We forget the woe for we live and
know
ThBt the lighting and sighing, the fall-
ing and dying
Were but steps toward the future; the
martyrs' way,
Down which the sons of the blue and
the gray ,
Look with pride and love on memorial
day."
Thus a stanza from, one of the reci-
tations expressed the sentiment of the
day. The theme was touched in vari-
ous ways with love and reverence for
the dead and the prayer Irr peace in
which the veterans of the civil war
united in the long ago until It has be-
come universal In the aspirations of
the re-united nation.
The opera house was crowded when
the exercises opened with the invoca-
tion by Rev. T. J. Crumley and nearly
a thousand voices swelled the chorus
MEMORIAL BAY
of "America." after which the report
of the adjutant was received.
The address of Hon, John Kmbry
was an eloquent tribute to the heroes
w,ho had given their lives for the na-
tion and full of the inspiration of the
highest patriotism.
The recitations of Misses Anna
Mayer, May Bayes, Grace Mosier and
Verona Beasler and Master Loyal
Holland were all given with a freedom
and grare which charmed the audience
and a reading by Mrs. H. M. Johnson
was as near perfect as could be.
A solo by Mrs. Maynard, a song by
Lola Weitzel, Emily Kirtley and
Robin Woodruff, and a cornet solo
by J. F. Collar each in its turn de-
lighted the audience.
Lizzie Kohler gracefully surren-
dered her place on the program to
another girl who had made the same
selection and the lady managers are
high In their praise of the spirit thus
shown.
The cemetery was then visited and
a profuse distribution of llowers was
made.
Chandler Post and the W. R. C. are
highly gratified at the unusually suc-
cessful outcome of the affair and
thankful to all the host of friends and
patriotic citizens who assisted with
such loyal spirit in the observance of
the occasion
Appropriately Observed by O.
A. R. Veterans aud the
W. R. C.
Memorial Day services at the opera
house yesterday were well attended In
an auspicious interval that Intervened
between showers jusl before noon.
The old veterans and members of the
Relief Corps, with the local militia
company in uniform and patriotic
citizens made an assemblage that
fully appreciated the excellent pro-
gram prepared for the ocoasion.
The address of Rev. Dinger was elo-
quent and inspiring. He troated the
subject of the brotherhood of man in
an original way from a Christian
point of view, tracing the unfolding
of Divine Providence lu the history of
the American republic from its origin
the settlement of people seeking larger
freedom on a new continent down to
events of recent date. The equality
of ;nen, he said, had been revealed by
the redeemer of mankind before it
was proclaimed in the American con-
stitution and later made to embrace
all races of men in the amendments
which followed the events of tha civil
war
From tirso to last It was an interest-
ing review of the facts of history bear-
ing on the theme and an eloquent ex-
altation of patriotic ideals, closing
with an appeal in behalf of religion at
once timely and impressive.
The following were the members of
Chandler Post G. A. R who partici-
pated:
Comrades Amberg, Nichols, Walk-
er, Baxter, Russfell Scott Smith,
Bickford, Feuqua.v, Reeser Dimoo,
Seeran, McCioy.
Saved by Dynamite.
Sometimes, a flaming city is saved
by dynamiting a space that the fire
can't cross. Sometimes, a cough
hangs on so long you feel as if noth-
ing but dynamite would cure it. Z. T.
Eray, of Calhoun, Ga., writes: " \Ty
wife had a very aggravated cough,
which kept her av ake nights. 'lVo
physicians could not help her; so she
took Dr. King's New Discovery for
Consumption, < oughs uu I Colds,
which eased her cougo, gave her sleep
and finally cured her." Strictly so

grippe. At A. D. Wrights drug store

DECORATION DAY
Young Soldiers Escorted Vet-
erans and W. R. C. to the
Opera House.
The da«n of a bright morning usher-
ed in the preparations for Decoration
day and the citizens of Chandler mani-
fested their patriotism by a liberal
display of Hags and bunting. Stores
and dwellings were frejly ornamentei
while the final arrangements were
made for the celebration of the occa-
sion with an elaborate program at the
opera house this afternoon.
The postoflice and county oflices,
banks, etc., were closed all day and
there was a general suspension of
business in the afternoon.
The old veterans marked by their
badges aud the signs of old age, and
the youthful members of cumpany IS
In uniform were promptly on hand to
participate in the exercises.
The stage at the opera house was
converted into a veritable bower of
beauty by the time the hour had ar-
rived for the opening of the exercises.
The hall was gay with streamers, and
altogether tho decorations were most
generous and were appropriate to the
occasion.
The veterans met meantime in their
hall and Company B assembled at the
armory, preparatoyr to* marching to
the opera house.
The veterans, accompanied by the
ladies of the W. R. C , who had met
with them at their assembly hall
awaited the arrival of the militia
escort until a few moments before the
opening of the exercises Then the
young soldiers appeared promptly and
| the veterans and ladies followed them

the entertainment were called to the j

While Judge Hainer was holding
court here in place of Judge Buford
week before last he made an import-
ant order, the restflts of which are
shown In the following frojn the Okla-
homa City Times-Journal:
J. I). Morse, of the law tirm of
Hughes, Morse A Standaven, of this
city, has returned from a long trip to
Tonopah and other interesting gold
mining districts in the state of Neva-
da. where be followed a large ship-
ment of merchandise which had been
consigned by John Burke and his
associates, who were formerly located
at Indian Territory points, but re-
cently at Fallis and Cleveland. Okla-
homa. Mr. Burke seems to tiave
made an effort to elude his creditors
and get away with a large amount of
merchandise. He had been conduct
ing a general store at Fallis. He re
moved his stock to Cleveland. From
Cleveland portions of the goods were
consigned to various points in Indian
territory and Oklahoma, in divers
names, then finally consolidated at
Tulsa, I. T., and from there consigned
to Tonopah, Nevada, in another
name. These attorneys ran down the
property, learned of the various ship-
ments above mentioned and promptly
followed the seizes at Tonopah and
thus the bankruptcy was tiled in Lin-
coln county, Okla. Judge Hainer, of
the United States court, made an or-
der directing the seizure of the prop-
erty. Upon this order the property
was seued at Tonopah and thus the
smooth Mr. Burke was foiled, Prior
to this several of the shipments to
Oklahoma points had been seized be-
fore Mr. Burke had had an opportu-
nity to consolidate them with the
others.
Among the creditors of Mr. Buake
who are interested in the matter are
four of the leading wholesale houses
of this city and several similar houses
in St, Louis and Kansas City.
The matter w.ill be reported to the
federal grand jury with the view of
naving an indictment returned against
Mr. Burke. Mr. Burk seems to have
fled to part^ unknown, but it is prob-
able that if he is indicted the federal
ollicers will locate him and«bring him
to justice.

Dear Brothers:
On Wednesday evening, May 10,
1905, at 8:45, Brother George W. Bai-
ley was killed in the terrible cyclone
which struck Snyder. Among those
badly hurt was Brother Bailey's
young wife, who had one limb broken
in two places, besides three lingers of
her right hand. From these injuries
it was not expected that Mrs. Bailey
could recover, but latest reports indi-
cate that she will get well.
Brother Bailey was a member of the
order at Altus, Oklahoma,and a mem-
ber of the Kndowment Kank, Section
No. ">420, at Altus, and carried $1,000
1 'ytlnan insuramr.
On last Saturday, May 20, the keeper
of records and seal, W. T. McConnell,
and the secretary of the section,
Brother W. C. Baker, forwarded to
the headquarters at Chicago proofs
of Brother Bailey's death, and as
soon as the papers reached, the head
oflice the claim was paid, and this
within two days from the time the pa-
pers had left the postoflice at Altus, as
the following telegram from President*
ChtoUgo, Ills.. May 23, 1906*

Deep Fork is still running like a
river, being from a half to three-quar-
ters of & mile wide at different points
south of here. The water be£an to
fall last night after having been on a
rise since Monday night when the
stream began to overflow its banks
for the third time this season. It is
difficult to tell at this writing whether
the flood will continue to run out or
whether more water from up stream
wllj raise it again before it finally
subsides. Much cotton is under water
and as it cannot be replanted at this
late date much damage is apt to result.
It is not far advanced, however, and
there are hopes that a. considerable
portion of It will be saved.
Fields where the cotton is washed
awav will have to be replanted, if at
all, with forage crops.
Letter From Jones City.
I admire the tone of your excellent
paper, and especially the editorials
written by its editor and by Mrs. Kate
Richards O'Hare. I pray the Lord of
the harvest to send more such teachers
into our fields now long "ripe unto
harvest." We have lots of blind
leaders of the blind at present, and
it's sad to me that 1 see so many of my
fellow beings "falling into the ditch."
I am glad to know, however, that
while the world is sinking lower and
lower on the material plane, and that
business people dare not tell the whole
truth, there is a leaven of truth work-
ing among us foreshadowing a victory
towards that "new heaven and new
earth." I am waiting and watching,
with many others, for the advent of
economic equality to all people. We
have religious and political liberty.
We now need knowledge to direct the
proper U9e of these rights. I Jam glad
that there are many Oklahoma people
who have seen the light and are letting
it so shine that others are being turn-
ed from darkness.
Over here the people are working P.'
hours a day and are prospering, if a
struggle for existence can be called
prosperity. They are planting in
hopes—of coming out of debt this
year. Their forefathers did the same.
They have planted orchards and vine-
yards, but the frost and bugs come
and cut off the harvest. They plant
corn, wheat, cotton and other crops,
but the trust-bugs swoop down upon
thern and buy these crops for less
than cost of production. They are
told it's over production. They plant
potatoes and diversify, but still their
hopes of food prices never come.
Over production! Many of them be-
lieve this hoary lie. Then they go to
the priest and with him get down and
pray the Good Spirit to drive their
economic troubles away. They vote
the ticket their economic masters vote,
and thus perpetuate these parasites
upon their backs. Tt^ey are told to
keep out of politics, while, their mas-
ters who speculate on their produce
control the government. Many of the
leading farmers in Oklahoma and
other states tired of prayers and
promises organized the United Farm-
ers and Farmers' Union all for the
one purpose of controlling the price
of their crops by co-operation among
themselves. This move gives promise
of some degree of victory.
The interest of all laborers are
identical. The.f should form a pro-
ducers trust and never be satisfied
with anjthing less than the full pro*
duct of their labor. Their demand for
this will have to be forced at the
ballot box. Over here crop prospects
are tine and all nature seems smiling.
All the trouble here is collective and
not Individual.
