MANCHESTER,
W. F. SMITH,
—The new Palace Shaving Parlor
in Manchester, opened this week by
O. A. Vansickle and T. C. Terkune
under the firm name of Vansickle &
Terhune, is one of the neatest and
most Inviting barber shops we have
seen in a long time. They occupy
the west room of the new Feely
building, one door east of E.W.Sever-
ancc & Co., and have fitted It up
with new and tasty furniture, includ-
ing the latest improved barber chairs,
etc. They also have a neat bath
room, with a line porcelain tub for
hot and cold baths, and all other
features that go to make a first class
barber shop. The boys felt that
whllo so many improvements are
being made In Manchester they could
not Qflord to bo behind, and we are
truly glad to see them fully up with
the procession. They are good work-
men and deserving of a liberal
patronage. When In Manchester
don’t fail to visit the Palace Shaving
Parlor.
—Mrs. Patrick Madigan, believing
that her life was in danger, made
complaint to Justice Curtis, that
Patrick Madigan had threatened to
kill her. A warrant was issued yes-
terday upon the aforesaid charge.
The preliminary hearing will be be-
fore Justice Curtis upon the arrival
of the county attorney, who is ex-
pected this afternoon. Mrs. Madl-
gan has also entered suit for a divorce.
From appearances it would seem
that Pat had been on one spree to
many.—Medford Dally Mail. Since
putting the above in print we learn
Pat has been put under a peace bond.
The Lawton Daily Democrat has
been received at this office in ex-
change. It is published by L.T.Rus-
sell. It bad two particular features
that attracted our attention, botli of
which were indicative of a new tofrn
in a new country. One was the
publication of 15 different saloon
license notices, and the other was an
item which told about a drunken
man being arrested. The arrest was
made after court hours by the city
marshal and as the city had no jail
the offender was chained to a wagon
wheel for safe keeping until the next
morning. When the officer went out
□ext morning with his prisoner’s
breakfast he found tho wheel, chain
and prisoner all gone. Later In the
day the man was found in a ‘'dive"
In the east part of town,still chained
to Oho wagoo wheel, which he was
compelled to carry to police head-
quarters to answer to the charge
against him. The ways of a new
town la a new country are new and
novel.
—I have for sale about 50 head of
cows and heifers or will trade for
steer calves or yearling or two-year-
old steers. There are a number of
milch cows In the bunch. Call at
this office. J. M. Simmons.
— Cordray & Jones have begun
work for the burning of another
large brick kila at Manchester, the
brick In which will be used for build-
ing the new I.O.O. F. hall which Is
being talked so much about. They
inform us that since Mr. Fling lias
decided to build two stories high
they have no more brick at present
to offer to the general public.
—Dr. Snow has fitted up a neat
new office In the room formerly occu-
pied by St. Clair Gray for a tailor
shop, where lie will be pleased to
receive all who may call upon him in
a social way or for medical services.
EXTRAORDINARY
History of Land Case of Potter Ver-
sus Hall—Potter Has Now Car-
ried It to the United States
Supremo Court.
Guthrie, O. T., Aug. 27,-What Is
probably the most famous land law
suit ever before the courts from
Oklahoma, was today appealed to
the Supreme Court of the United
States from a decision handed down
at the June term of the supreme
court of the territory.
The history of the case is as fol-
lows: Thomas W. Potter, an
employe at the Indian schools at
Darlington on the day of the opening
of the Choyenne and Arapahoe
reservation for settlement, April 19,
1892, was appointed a special police
to prevent persons settling on the
school reservation. He claims he.'fully for days have been known to
TO HOMESTEADERS.
When you come in to give notice of applica-
tion to make final proof, be sure that you are
prepared to give In full the names of your
tour witnesses. Also before date to make
proof arrives, call at this office and get the
printer’s affidavit of publication.

thought bis authority extended over
the entire reservation to be opened
to settlement, and when be saw a
settler In a gulch nearly a mile over
the line, be rushed over, placed the
sooner under arrest and took him to
tlie guard house. The sooner was on
the south half of the northwest I and
lots 3 and 4, townsbip 12, range 7
west, a valuable tract of laud ad-
joining the townsite of El Reno.
When Potter had removed the sooner
lie came to the line and when the
signal was given he went with the
rusli and, strange as it may seem,
he secured the very tract of land the
sooner was trying to hold.
Sergeant Hall, a member of the 5th
Calvary stationed at Fort Reno, also
made the race and he settled on the
sarno tract of land Potter had
reached, and both of them set up the
claim of prior settlement. In the
contest that followed In the Oklaho-
ma City land office, John IT. Burford,
now chief justice of the territory,
awarded the laDd to the present
claimant, Mrs. Hall, Sergeant Hall
having died, and she being the suc-
cessor to all his rights in the land.
This was In the fall of 1891 and
Potter at once appealed the case to
the commissioner of tho general land
office where the decision of the local
office was reversed and the land
awarded to Potter. Mrs. Hall then
took an appeal to the secretary of
the Interior and that official reversed
the commissioner and again awarded
the land to -Mrs. Hall.
Potter then made application fora
rehearing and was granted another
trial. This time the ease was heard
by the assistant secretary of the
interior and he reversed the decision
of the secretary and again awarded
the land to Potter, who then pro-
ceeded to prove up ar.d obtain patent
which he did successfully.
After obtaiulng patent Potter
began suit In the district court of
Canadian county iu ejectment to
have Mrs. Hall removed from the
land. She had been living on the
claim for ten years and she replied
that the officers of the interior
department had mistaken the law
and that she was the rightful owner
of the laud In question and then
asked that Potter be decreed a trus-
tee for her and be required to make
over tbo legal title to her. The dis-
trict court found in her favor and
made the order. Potter appealed
the case to the supreme court of the
territory and the decision of the
lower court was affirmed. Today
Potter filed the necessary papers and
has taken the case to the Supreme
Court of the United Stales for final
adjudication.

JACOB'S DREAM.
Dreams have been considered by
some scientists one of the strong
proofs of the immortality of the soul.
The fact that while the body, the
muscles and the nerves are at rest
the brain may be as active, or rather
more active than when the rest of
the system is awake Is a proof that
mind may exist separately from
matter.
Many very surprising things have
been known to take place in dream
land. Mathematicians who have
been studying problems unsuccess-
arrive at their solution while dream-
ing. The accuracy and carefulness
of the sleepwalker is welt known and
dreams have many times foreshad-
owed events to come with wonderful
correctness of detail.
At least one atheist lias been wqn
ovefr to the truth of the Bible by
studying carefully the vision which
enabled Daniel to so accurately
foretell the history of the nations.
Joseph's dream was most surprisingly
fulfilled and Pharaoh’s dream when
interpreted by Joseph was the means
of warding off untold calamity in
time of death.
There is far les3 communication
today by means of dreams than
formerly, but when the writer as a
boy dreamed three times in brief
succession of the dissolution of the
world, It at least served tlie purpose^
of suggesting the thought: Would
I have been prepared for that event
bad tills been an accomplished fact
In place of "only a dream.”
One point about Jacob’s dream
should be of service to us. It was
given to him at the very darkest
hour of bis experience. lie bad doue
wrong and had to pay the penalty-
exile from the comforts of. borne—
and yet for Ills father’s sake and that
of his grandfather God visited him
and through the dream revealed to
him the grandeur and beauty of
heaven and Us inhabitants. Sin
confessed and sin forsaken are no
barriers between us and God.
Again the effect of tlie dream was
most marked. Jacob showed bis
gratitude to God not only in words
but in deeds aDd it was at this time
that the promise of a tenth was
given that became the rule of suc-
ceeding generations. The effect of
meeting God face to face brings us to
our right senses. Isaiah when he
saw God In his majesty and holiness
cried out, "Woe is me for I am a
man of unclean lips." Paul as he
sees the Christ whom he Is persecut-
ing is convinced of his mistake.
Thomas when lie sets his risen Lord
and handles the wound prints him-
self exclaims,“My Lord and My God!"
The sight of God reveals to us our
unmeasurable distance and enables
us to cry out with the publican,
‘‘Lord, be merciful to mo a sinner."
This glviDg of a tenth by Jacob
was not the first reference to tithing.
Abraham gave a tithe toMelcliizedee
king of Salem, priest of tbe most
high God. Just as undoubtedly the
keeping of tlie Sabbath and tbe sac-
rifice of animals were institutions
that dated from tbe beginning of
man’s history on earth, not from the
time of Moses, so tbe reasonableness
of giving a portion of our substance
to Him, who is the author of all
thlogs, is natural to the mind of a
reasonable man. As long as God
maketh His rain to fall on the just
and the unjust all men should feel
their duty toward God in thankful-
ness for his gifts, but to those who
believe that Christ gave us his only
begotten son to die, "the just for
tbe unjust,” tbe obligation is still
greater.
What we give to God should exceed
the Jewish tenth as much as wc
believe that the gospel of Christ is
greater than the law of Moses. It
should not be how little need I give
to God but how much can I give to
Him who loved me and gave himself
for me. Jacob's character like that
of other Bible heroes was far from
faultless. Let us see to it that we are
not behind him In our covenants and
agreements toward God.
God’s behavior toward Jacob is very
like Christ's universal behavior
towards tbe humble sinner. "Go and
sin no more” Is quite a contrast to
tbe Pharasaical spurning of the ,
sinner that wc see sometimes. Love
for the 6lnuer but hatred for the sin <
is God's universal method. "Let the
wicked man forsake his way and the
unrighteous man his thoughts and
let him return uulo the Lord and
He will have mercy unto him and to
our God for lie will abundantly
pardon.”
