Washington, Jan. 11. Mr Babcock, who ia loading tho in surrection against tho statehood bill, vras engaged yesterday in I getting signatures to an agreo jinent which may be likened to artioles of war, since every man who signs pledges his honor to fight against tho tyranny of tho Committeo on Rulqa- v At the close of the (lay Mr. Babcook assured all inquirers that he had obtained forty-seven signatures. Lieutenants of tho speaker ex pressed some skoptioism, but at the same timo they forebore to predict when tho statehood bill will be brought in. An interesting and unexpected development of tno day was the aotivity of a number of senators who are opposed to the admission of Now Mexico and Arizona. Several of them were over on the house fide, notably Senator Ft aker, who will lead the opposi tion in the senate. They are giving encouragement to. tho in- A. B. SCARBOROUGH, PRESIDENT.

That the statehood bill is in the midst of a had tanglo is undenia ble. The most Banguine hope that ono oan entertain for it is that it may pass late in the ses sion. Tho opposition in the sen ate to statehood1 for New Mexico and Arizona is iireoonoilable.and it is made up of tho majority of that body. If tho house should pass tho omnibus bill the senate will separate the two propositions and then it will be for the house to determine whether it will make of Oklahoma and Indian Terri tory a saoriiloe on tho altar of its stubbornness.

See us this week Vi." W. B. Petty Furniture Co. The House Furnishers The wiu, tho snow and the threatening, woather prevented many of ti e .ohuroh-goera from presenting themselves at tho re vival setviXs at the Baptist ohuroh last night, but the woath er conditions did not prevent Evangelist Williams from deliv ering a sermon that reaohed tho souls of the good-sized audionce. Owing to tho deoroase in tho attendance the speaker deferred thesubjeot, rtRosurreotion," until some future time, and gave an able disoourso on the scripture, 'If a brother be overtaken in a fault, thoso that are spiritual should strengthen him." "Brother Sid" truly said that our faults are so many and our mistakes so frequent that we aro dependent upon tho spiritual ele ment to extend a hand and lift us up give us strength, advice and friendship; that it is the duty of the Christian people to aid the weak brother as ho sturnblos and falls from the ways of right living and right-thinking; that wo Bhould remember our own frail ties; that no ono oan wander so far from the spiritual path and sink so deep in sin but that it ia our duty to call them back and lift them up and strengthen them. If wo would heed the advice of Evangelist Williams we oould do muoh in making this a better world by rosouing fellow-souls as they tumble by ub into the end less hell. Two many of us are blind to the good we can do. The audienoo enjoyed tho ser mon, God was with the people, in the sermon, and in tho ohoir. Ono soul was roeoued from sin and Christian hearts rejoioed. Services every day 3 and 7 p. m. Everybody who'likes good singing and Bible truths' are in- Wited to attend. Atoka, I. T., Jan. 11.
