W.O.W. MEMORIAL SERVICE.
Members of Lexington Camp No.
158 Decorate Graves of De-
parted Sovereigns.
Tbe aunual Memorial jervice of
Lexington Camp W. O. W.,be'id last
Sunday, was attended by about <>00
people and was all that the members
of that thriving ord it could hope for.
A larg? number of local Woodmen
joined by many visiting sovereigns,
met at their hall and marched in
usual fcrm to the top of the hill,
where they took carriages for the
Lexington cemetery. At the Lex-
ington cemetery the graves of sover
eigus, T. J. McFadden, J. M. Smith
and A. R. Wilcox were decorated iu
the midst of a beautiful and touching i
service, in which a special choire for
the occasion formed an important
part. The choire was composed of
the following persons, who are
among the best singers of Cleveland
county) Prof. 0. L. Womack, leader,
Mesdames E. VV. Wynne, J. M. Mit- j
chell and R. E. Thacker; Misses
Margaret Fuller, llattie Williams; i
Messrs. J. B. Collius, Geo. C War
lick, Pence Hughes and Will Mc-
Caslin.
Rev. G. W. Herrington, master of
ceremonies, and W . E. Paisley, cap-
tain, were iu charge of the service,
which was followed throughout
with the keenest interest by the j
large audience.
The widows and children of Sov-
ereigns T. >1. McFadden and ti. M.
Smith attended the service. Sover
eigu Wilcox has no relatives at this
place.
The exercises were closed by a
very interesting and instructive ad-
dress by Rev. G. W. Herriugton, in
which he dwelhd at length on the |
benefits and protection afforded by |
that order. He said that while |
Woodcraft was entirely independent,
as an organization, of Christianity j
vet its mission was to make men bet-
ter and wiser and nobler—to develope
and cultivate charity, beuevoleuce
and a spirit of kiuduess among its j
members, He spoke of the harmon- i
ious and rapid growth of the W. O
W' , and called attention to many
direct benefits received by the wid
ows and children of deceased sover
eigns.
At the close of the service at the ;
Lexington cemetery, a large crowd
proceeded to Holsenbake s grave-
yard, where a like service was held
and the grave of S. W. Williams, a
departed sovereign was decorated.
Childrens" Day Services Postponed.
The Childrens' Day services at the
Baptist church has been postponed
until the fourth Sunday of the month
at night, on account of a temperance
lecture to be delivered at the M. E ,
church next Sunday uight by Mrs.
Callie H. Howe.
Colonels Have an Outing.
Tne follow iug gentlemen left yes-
terday for a few days outing on the
shady banks of the Washita: Col.
J. M. Stovall, Col. W. R. Ferguson,
Col. J. W. Marcum, Col. P. H. Mil-
ner, Col. H. H. Menke, Col. Tom
Thornton aud Maj. J. R. Elkin. On
l pleasure bent, this aggregation of
jolly colonels, clad in comfortable
outing suits, aud with high anticipa-
tions, sat out about sunrise for Paoli,
where they will be joined by Col.
Wm. Morgan aud Private Ike Will-
iams, who will pilot the company to
their place of destination.
Tell 'Em About It.
Manv merchants explain their fail-
ure to advertiser by saying that
"everybody knows where I keep.
This is true to a certain extent. But
the e same merchants never stop to
think that the merchaut who lets the
public know what he has to sell and
what his prices are, is the man who
does the business. Who ever heard
of a circus merely heraldiug the fact
that it would be iu town on a certaiu
date? They secure their patronage

contest to delay the opening until
congress shall have had an oppor-
tunity to enact legislation supplemen-
tary to authorizing the opening and
that more favorably to the interest-
of the cattlemen. It was reported
at the supreme court building today
that the cyurt had directed the clerks
to draw a restraining order which
would be formally issued from tht-
beuch tomorow morning.
It is understood that the interior
department is prepared for this and
that .Judge Vandeventer has- begun
to make arrangements for ; contest.
Officials at that department at tbe
begiuuing of the injiinctiou proceed-
ings have taken the attitude thai the
legislation of cougress was of such
a character that it could not be made
the subject of a couit injunction aud
that, therefore, the efforts of Lone
Wolf should uot be regarded serious-
ly. It is admitted at the department
that if the court should grant a res-
training order that plans of the gov-
ernment to open the reservation
.would be interfered with to such an
extent that the cpeniug would be de-
layed possibly until Aext spring.
The injunction suit will necessarily
consume time. The ground on which
I it is begun is that the Indians were
deceived or not entirely informed by
the commissioners wbo made the
treaty with them some years ago.
