V. various pretexts the Egyptians justified their treatment of the Hebrews. Heneo they were ready to hold their slaves nt any COBL surh a hold upon them that the plagues necessary for Israel's ilellveraiicc were doubtless a full compensation of justice, equivalent to the Injustice practised by the- Egyptians. From one viewpoint the plagues WC(B miraculous; not so from another. We arc apt to style everything beyond our own experiences as miraculous, nnd everything within our range ns nnturaJ.

From Cod's standpoint, nothing Is miraculous. As we become familiar -with the laws of nature, nnd discern how the Almighty accomplishes what once we thought miraculous, our knowledge should not lessen our respect for the wonder or for Him. Evidently the plagues of Egypt were part of a contest between the gods of Egypt nnd the Hod of Israel.

Hebrews worshiped the great unseen Jehovah When Moses told Pharaoh that the Ood of the Hebrews sent him word that they were to leave Egypt to worship Ilim, Pharaoh derisively Inquired. "Who is the Ood of the Hebrews?" Moses was instructed, to give certain 1 signs of his authority as (Jod's representative One of these was to cast his staff upon the ground, and it wotild become a serpent.

Pharaoh's mngl- cWfts did likewise. Some have surmised that they performed a trick said to be common In serpent nnd making it appear Then released from tha hypnosis, it would manifest Itself as serpent. We are not sure, however; for other dnpllcnlions of Moses' work cannot be accounted for on the baslR of deception. According to Scripture, there are but two sources of occult and satanlc. Unquestionably for centuries God has permitted Satan and the fallen angeis, called demons, to exercise great power.

In no other way can psychic phenomena be accounted for. Spirit mediums are not knowlug- ly the servants of the evil spirits that personate the dead. Rather, they are thoroughly deceived by the Adversary. Waters Turned Into Blood. let Israel go.

C. Boon, Secretary, for close. kogee was in town 1 Monday, and made the public announcement that Sam Brown, the Chicago capitalist, will be in Muskogee this week, and close the business. The money has been raised, so says Mr. Ford, and that it now up to the people to make the arrangements.

Mr. Ford is a friend of Mr, Brown, the two having attended school together when boys in Chicago. There are some prelemi- nary matters that must be adjusted, such as voting a franchise, paying for the land, etc, but these are minor importance in the big enterprise. The dam will, be located a short distance above the Mo. Pacific bridge, adjoining the Western part ot town.

The overflowed land will cover about 1.100 acres, which will make a fine place for boating. A canal about 6 miles long, 300 feet wide and about 6 feet deep, will be constructed through the bottoms to the Arkansas river away below the Frisco railroad bridge, where the power house will be constructed, the fallfrom top of dam above being about 4(yj feet, Well, prospects of a dam are good, and will be decided within the next few days.

This refrigerator is a new patent, the invention ol F. M. Davis, of Muskogee, and is beyond all boubt, a good thing. This refrigerator is made of metal instead of wood, constructed on scientific principles, and can be sold about as cheap as the old kind. All who viewed it unhesitatingly pronducedit the best they had ever seen.

Mr. Davis' proposition was that a stock company be organized, with shares as low as $1 each, so as to be within the reach of to commence in a snail way and grow up as the business ed. The old Hendrix stone building, now available, would do for a start. His suggestions were accepted by the meeting, and a committee oi three appointed to further nvestigate the matter, and report at ainee.ting to beheld at this place Thursday niglit, the 18th inst.

He was born in Canada 68 years ago, spent about 10 or II years in California, mostly in shoemaking, and about 20 years in Arizonia in the cattle business. He went to Alberta Canada 7 years ago and proved a claim of 160 acres, which he leased about two years ago, and came to Tahlequah, where he has a brother, and has opened an old fashioned boot and shoe shop, keeps an assortment leather, and makes boots and shoes to fit and to wear.

When he went on his claim the nearest railroad was about a hundred miles from where he located; now there are two near by his farm Which is quite notable. He has been a hard worker all his life, and expects to die in harness. He appears to, be happy, for he says that at times he meets and converses with departed friends, face to face, without which be would find this a very dreary old world.
