SENATOR BERRY THE CHAMP-
ION OF THE PEOPLE.
The Railroad Bill Before the Senate
Thursday.
The railroad bill was brought be-
fore the attention of the senate dur-
ing the morning hours ThttBrday, but
tit was crowded to one side before a
vote could lie taken.
The associated press reports the
nuattcr as follows:
Washington, 1). Feb., 8.—Mr.
Kerry called up his bill compelling
the Hock Island railroad to stop at
certain Oklahoma townsites, instead
of seeking to build up their own towns
on sites owned by the road for specu-
lative purposes, adjacent to the legal
sites established by the interior de-
partment. His denunciation of the
(methods of the Bock Island road in
feeeping representatives here to de-
feat this bill, he said, had a direct
application to the attorneys of the
company, who, he charged, occupied
the gallery while the debate was in
progress.
Mr. Berry, in urging the bill, stated
ihat the necessity arose in a quarrel
between the Rock Island and two
towns in Oklahoma, called Enid and
(louml Pound. He charged that the
object of the road was to compel the
4 eople to occupy a tovvnsite establish-
ed by the road for speculative pur-
poses.
A controversy between Mr. Black-
burn and Mr. Berry ensued, the
•former opposing the bill.
Mr. Berry made a strong arraign-
ment of the road and the methods it
*iad adopted to defeat the people.
4'Ivery subterfuge possible had been
^•leaded as an excuse for not erecting
depots, but when the people of the
two towns themselves had offered to
erect the depots if the company
liould only stop its regular trains
*10 e cuse was left, and it was appar-
ent to the world that the only reason
of this corporation for seeking to
ruin these towns was a desire to have
their own townsites and promote a
speculative venture in which the
company had embarked in violation
<if its charter privileges
Pending the discussion of the bill,
and before a vote could be taken on
sts passage, the special order was
iaken up. It was a memorial resolu-
tion in memory of Representative
Mutchler, of Pennsylvania, who died
at the beginning of the present con-
fess.
The senate adopted the old time
tactics and adjourned for Thursday
\jitil Monday when the railroad bill
vnill be taken up as i. finished busi-
ness and will probably pass as it came
£rom the house, clear of the amend-
•'iientH and will become a law after
• eceivlng the signature of the presi-

Oklanoma Agricultural Experiment
Station on Seed Corn.
A:t important experiment begun
Jast year at the experiment station
vith corn was to determine the best
• ocality from which to secure seed for
Oklahoma use. It was apparent from
• he results (which showed it in nearly
< very individual instance) that seed
brought from the north produced
fcere more grain and less stover than
oeed from the south; while the re-
verse is of course true, that southern
rown seed produced more stover and
•loss grain than northern grown seed.
This experiment will receive close
attention of Prof. Magruder this
coming season when he intends to
compare southern and northern grown
bued with seed grown in Oklahoma.
Atlanta Ga„ Feb. 8.—There was
quite a revelation made to-day by the
expression of opinio i oil the part of
the convict lessees of the st;itcj t.iat
they were losing money and would
gladly give up their franchise if the
state would accept it. "The cont ol of
the convicts," said one of the lessees,
"was a hell on earth." Four com-
panies own the convicts, numbering
about 2,100, for whose services tliey nay

And
Great Fields For Profitable Invest-
ments.
The city of Enid, as platted under
the direction of the secretary of the
interior, is located on the line of the
Chicago, Hock Island & Pacific rail-
road and lies as near the center of ()
county as it could have been located
011 the line of said road. It is just
live miles west of the center and one
and
studying a map of the county it will
be seen that these figures are correct
and that the authorities would have
had to take the city from the rail-
road to get in any closer to the cen-
ter. Enid has been a favorite city in
the minds of the settlers of the strip
from the opening as its rapid growth
testilies. Property has changed
hands rapidly at prices that indi-
cated the faith of the buyers and
prices on an upward scale and very
few choice lots are offered for sal ?.
The city buildings are nearly all of a
good grade of pioneer structure and
will compare favorably with the
buildings of any city of the same age
in the world.
An Enid citizen has the distin-
guished honor of having erected the
lirst large three story structure in
strip and the Wave is informed that
the Fuqua block facing the public
square in this city is the only three
story building yet erected in the
strip. The building, 50x110 feet con-
tains two large store rooms on the
ground tloor: the second floor being
divided into office rooms, single and
in suits. The council chamber is on
this floor: the third floor is all occu-
pied by the Masonic order and is
handsomely furnished with inside
blinds, ante rooms and closets.
The House <Sc Rakestraw opera
house block is a commodious two
story structure as well as hundreds of
other buildings too numerous to men-
tion. Enid is located directly in the
Boggy creek valley, the stream is
noted for its many bubbling springs
of crystal water many of which
found within the city limits more es-
pecially in the southeast city park.
The ground upon which the city
stands is rolling so that there is high
and low ground, the residence por-
tion standing on high ground on the
east. The level monotony of the av-
erage prairie town is broken in Enid
giving the place the look of an east-
ern city built among the hills: this
feature in time will add much to its
beauty and attraction. The altitude
of the city is in the neighborhood of
1100 feet, being a happy medium be-
tween iow marshy fever stricken
countries and the rheumatic cursed
and extremely dry high altitude of
the western mountains, therefore
good average health is assured all
who come here and take proper care
of themselves.
THE PEOPLE.
The present population is made up
of citizens from every part of the
United States and while none of them
are extremely wealthy there are
many of the well to do rustling class
here who are the bone and sinew in
the enterprise and progress of all
cities; this class largely predominate
as any meeting of the Enid board of
trade would testify. The city has so
far caught but few, very few, of the
hull headed class who must have
things come their way or ruin every-
thing, in fact, there seems to be a de-
sire among the leading business men
to meet and calmly consult one an-
other on all important matters per-
taining to the good of the city and
hot headed wrangling is very rare in
their meetings: all are for the best
interest of the city given us by the
government and everything is work-
ing along earnestly and quietly and
the city keeps growing, growing as
the days go by.
ENID'S 8UPPORT.
Enid is the county seat of O county,
hence every man in the county will
have business here in attendance at
one kind of legal business or another;
he comes here to pay his taxes, re-
cord his deeds and other Instruments
of writing.
The federal court will meet here
twice a year bringing many people
to the city.
The land otlice for two large coun-
ties is here and every one of the 1
homesteaders who have taken up the j expresses

five years there will be at least 40,000
people buying their supplies in Enid.

Lincoln, Neb , Feb. 8.—For the first
time in the history of the Catholic
church a bishop was yesterday ar-
raigned before a civil justice of the
peace to answer the charge of criminal
libel preferred by a priest. Thomas
Honacum is the bishop, and the charge
against him was founded on a letter
sent to the parish of Palmyra notify-
ing the congregation that Father
Michael J. Corbett had been suspended,
and warning all Catholics not to hold
communion with him. This, the com-
plaint charges, was done maliciously
and causelessly, with intent to bring
