Jack Jones says he is begining to
loose confidence in Major Whitting-
hills chances for the vice president
nomination next year.
Miss Etnma McClung, of ICokomo.
Indiana, arrived Wednesday noon to
visit her old time friend and chum
Mrs. John Buckles.
Mr. A. P. Dixson has been appoint-
ed general station agent at the Fris-
co station of the Itock Island system
and he took charge today.
Mr. Chas. McCauley of Roanoak,
111. is with the Frantz families being
a cousin. He will probably Invest in
Enid before departing for home.

The young people of Enid to the
number of 18 couple indulged in a
social dance in the Masonic" Temple.
Prof. Blume's orchestra of Wichita
furnished the music. A real enjoy-
able time was had by all present.
A horse thief stole deputy Sheriff
Andy Morrison's horse while he was
serving the writ of prohibition on
the city council Tuesday night.
Andy hitched the horse in front of
the Court House on Grand Avenue
and has not seen him since.
The electric light plant has tested
the big engine and they have prom-
ised to turn on the city arc lights
tonight, for the first time in many
moons. It is to be hoped that the
new machinery will give perfect sat-
isfaction.
The Hon. Dick Toucbam Morgan
is the recipetant of another dose of
newspaper advertising through his
speech at the ''Hoosier" reunion the
other day. This trick will probably
bring out "Old Syd," Col. Havens
and others of the regular ''watch me"
set.
The stock holders of the shoe fac
tory will meet in the court house to-
night for the purpose of electing
tinacial manager for the shoe plant.
There are several candidates for the
place. The man selected should be a
man who can give a satisfactory bond
fur the faithful! and honest perfor-
in nee of duty.
HOW OLD IS ANN?
This is the problem;
Mary is twenty-four years old.
Mary is twice as old as Ann was when
Mary was as old as Ann is now, How
old is Ann?
Til.- puzzle has come, been seen
and h.is conquered at Harvard Uni-
\ersitv. It is mightier at tackle
than foot ball. It has caught Mew
England in its compelling grasp.
Out of the figuring it has evoked in
the east the slate and pencil • indus-
tries are expecting a boom to banish
all thoughts of a winter of discon-
tent.
In Its simplicity is the alluring
strength of thin problem. The state
inent of terms involves perfect frank-
ness and no useless multiplication of
words. "MaryiB twenty-four years
old" and so forth. Adorable Mary!
But behold at the finish the leading
question How old is Ann?
Can you tell?
EDGAR BRAIN.
The Wichita Eagle Spoke of His
Death as Follows,
Oklahoma, aud especially Grant
county, has lost a well known news-
paper man and good citizen in the
death of Edgar Brain, editor of the
Grant County News, at Pond Creek
who expired in that city yesterday
morning from heart disease. Mr.
Brain's illness was sudden and his de-
mise unexpected. A few days ago,
the Oklahoma editor came to Wichita
on business, and apparently in the
best or health. While in the office
of Dr. St John, conversing with that
gentleman, he was stricken and it
was with difficulty he was revived.
Mr. Brain was then taken to the
home of his brother, Emory Brain,
the well known Wichita musician
and by careful treatment, his condi
tion was improved. Tuesday night,
Emory Brain took the Oklahoma
man to his home in Pond Creek leav-
ing him at the Rock Island station
at his request that the Wichita citi-
zen might return home on the north
bound train. After reaching his resi-
dence, Edgar Brain became worse
and the word reached Wichita that
he expired yesterday surrounded by
the immediate members of his fami-
ly-
The name of Edgar Brain was not
an unfamiliar one by any means in
Oklahoma. He was identified with
the advancement of the territory
and his paper reached the homes of
many citizens in Grant county and
adjoining counties. While it is un
doubtedly true that the efforts of the
average newspaper writer are not
appreciated, yet Edgar Brain had
his friends had many of them in Okla-
homa, who are this day condoling
with the members of Mr. Brain's fami-
ly in the hour of sadness.
It was Mr. Brain's belief that he
had partly recovered from his sudden
affliction, and that he would have
years of usefulness in his beloved
territory, writing his weekly grist of
"stuff," and participating in the aff
airs of his commonwealth. Death is
no respector of persons and the end
to all earthly things came to Ed^ar
Brain rapidly and untimely, to the
sorrow of neighbors, friends and
casual acquaintances. The Eagle
has known Mr. Brain for many years,
and it extends its sympathy to the
bereaved family.
School Land Lessees.
The executivecommitte ef the Ter-
ritorial School Land Lessees, associa-
tion met at Guthrie Saturday last in
conferrence with the Congressman B
S. McGuire for the purpose of discus-
sing the school land clause in the
statehood bill, which Mr. McGuire will
present to congress. The lessees
want proper recognition regarding
the future disposals of the lands.
The school land lessees are entitled
to recognition in all school land leg-
islation, but the Wave does not be-
lieve that the people of Oklahoma
would agree to the selling of the
school lands was the question submit-
ted at a general election. However,
if it would be sold it should bring
the market price; that is to say the
price that surrounding land brings.
The people of Oklahoma will be
compelled to meet this question in
the near luture. The Wave don't
blame the lessees from procuring the
land as cheap as possible, but at the
same time the schools are entitled to
all the school land gift of the govern-
ment is worth. Right here is an op-
portunity for a whole lot of grafting
at the seat of government and the
Wave will watch it with a keen eye.
MUNICIPIAL TROUBLES.
Takes Ore With Him.
Lawton, O. T. Oct. 22.—B. F. Bain
the government geologist sent to the
Wichita mountains at the request of
Secretary Hitchcock to determine
whether gold, silver or other valu-
able mineral exist there in comercial
quantities, has finished his investiga-
tions and gone to Washington. Mr.
Bain secured a large number of ore
specimen for assay In Washington.
No report of his conclusions will be
made until these speclmetns have
been tested.
Enid Not lip to Snuff.
Wednesday afternoon eight coaches
full of passengers, prospectivs land
buyers passed through Enid going
south. It was one of the Rock Islands
autumn excursion trains. Quite a
crowd of the excursionists stopped off
at this point, but not as may as
might have stopped had Enid's land
settlers exerted themselves a little
The Wave has never been found
guilty of throwing boquets to any
one managing a public service,
to secure two or three dollars worth
of patronage for itself. What we
mean by the term public service is
not entirely encouthed in an elective
office, either county or municipial.
The electric light plant as well as
the telephone plant, or corporations,
have considerable to do with the
public service respectively. It is a
well known fact that neither the
electric light plant or telephone
plant have come anywhere near close
to satisfying their customers in their
lines in the way of clear and un-
objectional service. Of course it is
true that Enid had outgrown either
plant and these companies have been
kept quite busy keeping up with the
growth.
The electric light plant, more
especially has been overloaded for
two years past, far beyond its ca-
pacity. But last night the electric
company turned loose a large new
dynamo driven by a 300 horse power
engine and the arc lights flashed a
ful 2400 candle power for the first
time in the electric history of this
city, and manager Jackson assures
the Wave, that hereafter the elec-
tric company will be fully able to
meet all demands of the city for
light.
The Wave man was present, in
the power house last night when the
big engine and the dynamos began
their work and it was much pride to
us to notice the improved street ser-
vice.
Mr. H. M. Byllesby, the president
of the Enid Electric & Gas Company
was present when the big engine
started, arriving in the city on the
6 p. m., north bound Bock Island
train.
He appoligized to the people of
Enid through the Wave man for the
service the company has been send-
ing, but assured us that Enid would
soon be supplied with an clectric
plant of capacity enough to furnish
a city ot 30,000 people. Of course, if
the electria company push up to
good service, all past troubles will be
forgotten, otherwise, otherwise.
THE BANK OF ENID.
Has Purchased A $2,000 Bursar Proof
Safe. From the Victor Safe
And Lock Co- The Very
Best Made-
Ail well regulated banks seek bur-
glar proof safes as well as lire proof
safes. Iu this day and age it has be-
come customary for a bank to exhib-
bit a perfect steel burglar proffsafe
in its front window, put up in an en-
tire different shape than the old fash-
ioned fire proof safe. Mr. Fleming
ol' the Bank of Enid entered into a
contract with the Victor Safe &
Lock Co. of Cincinnati Ohio for one
of their postively burglar proofs les
at an expense of $2000. The com
pany postively agrees with The Bank
of Enid that if the safe is ever blown
open, or opened in any way by bnrg
lars the company refunds the cost of
the safe.
The only competitor in this line of
safes, as against the Victor Co
the Hubbard-Rodman, Manganesse
Steel Safe Co. of Cincinnati. By
mutual agreement these two compa-
nies turned specimens of their best
productions in their respective line
over to expert safe blowers selected
by their own companies. That is to
say that the experts of these compa-
nies worked on a safe of their re-
spective competitors. The Victor
people opened the Hubbard-Bodman
safe in 24 minutes. The llubbard-
Rodman operators worked on the
Victor safe two hours anil failed to
jar its gates ajar.

INDICT OKLAHOMA LUMBERMEN.
Blackwell, Okla., Oct. 24.—The
grand jury of this county has return-
ed indictments against lumber deal-
ers of Newkirk and Blackwell. Three
were indicted at New Kirk and three
at Blackwell, representing all the
lumber ya-ids In both cities. They
were indicted under a section of the
statues which prohibits the forma
tion of a pool to raise the price of
lumber, buildiug material, fuel, feed
and other ci nimodities. Those indict
ed at Newkirk were James Nichols
of the Long Bell Lumber company,
Mr. Huffbaner and the agent of the
Foster Lumber company. Those of
Blackwell who were indicted are the
proprietors or managers of the Fior-
nce Lumber company, the Arnsden
Lumber company, and the Butts Lum-
ber company.

The Shoe factory has been idle this
week, for the reason that it become
necessary for the Company to take a
complete invoice of the goods and
chattels of said company.
One of the best attended meetings
of the corporation was held in the
Probate Court room at the Court
House last night, and, many mistakes
were found in the first conception of
the corporation, and as the lawyers
would say, it was quite apparent
that "nunc-protunc" proceedings
were necessary to put the corporation
on a business basis. The private
meetings of the Shoe Co. In detail
should not be a matter of full publi-
cation through the public prints,
hence, the Wave will not publish
full details. However, it is just to
all lovers of Enid to say that the
Shoe factory is a permanent indus-
trial institution in our midst, set up-
on a permanent capitalization foun-
dation. The meeting last night was
harmonious; there was no tiuht and
all is well. Farther than this the
public need not Inquire. Fay no at-
tention to street knockers. Every
nianufactoring institution of Enid
is prosperous.
Barde a Red Rag.
(Guthrie Capital.)
Fred Barde is now a "red
rag" to
the fellows who are "bulling" the
market with in ning claims in the
Wichita mountains. Lawton papers
unite in denouncing his recent article
in the Kansas City Star as manifestly
unfair to Commancbe county mining
interests. And they use some sensi-
ble argument In proving it, too.
Care of Convicts Cost Big Money.
Guthrie, O. T., Oct. 25.—The quar-
terly report of E. B, Jewett, warden

ter 32(1 territorial prisoners. There

oners conlined during quarter, 330.

ed, two died in the hospital and one

day: clothing furnished on discharge

True Democracy.
The democratic party has always
been in favor of a strict construction
of our fundamental law, the constitu-
tion. A political party's platform is
the fundamental law of its principles,
which is sacred and must remain in-
violate. To tramp it under foot is a
crime against the party which can-
not be justified or excused. The indi-
vidual who commits* that crime, it
were better for that man, politically
speaking, if a mill stone were about
his neck and he be cast into the sea.
—Lawton Enterprise.
One of the sure indications of the
growth of a town is the steady in-
crease of its post office. The net re-
ceipts of the Enid office for the fiscal
year, ending June 30,1002 was $12,853.
30. The receipts for the fiscal year,
ending June 30, 1903 was $15,656.00, a
net gain of $2,823.00. The Oklahoma
City post office made the wonderful
gain of $16,206.00. El Reno fell be-
low Its last years Income to the
amount ttf $4,593.99; owing to the
great amount of mail business Ince-
dental to the opening of the new
country. The growth of the Enid
post office is as steady as the growth
of the city. Enid stands fifth in the
list In the territory.
SERIOUS CHARGES.
Two Kingfisher Men are in Guthrie
Jail and Complainants are Young
Women.
Guthrie, Okla,, Oct. 24. 1 here are
two prominent young married men of
Kingfisher county, Clyde Lawhead,
a school teacher, and Frank Dow, a
farmer, who are in the county jail
here on serious charges. Both live
in Kingfisher county, near the Noble
county line. There are two charges
against Dow, one for statutory as-
sault, and the other a paternity
charge, and the latter charge is made
against Lawhead. Two sisters,
Rhoda and Lillie Taylor, who are
alleged to be under eighteen, are
the complaining witnesses ?nd the
corespondents, the latter having re-
cently given birth to a son.
Frank Dow was arraigned before
Justice Overbay, yesterday on the
charge of assault, which was alleged
to have been committed on the 25th
day of December. He pleaded
not guilty to the charge and his trial
was set for November 0. His bond
was fixed at $1,000, which he promised
to give, but was sent to the county
jail until he secures it.
Dow and Lawhead were arraigned
before Probate Judge Goodrich on
the paternity charges, pleaded
not guilty, their trials being set for
November 4th, and 5th, respectively,
and each placed under $1,000 bond.
All the parties come from respect-
ed families and the neighborhood is
worked up over the matter. Both of
the young men are married, Law-
head having been married less than
a month and Dow about four months.
Lawhead was arrested at his school
and Dow was arrested when he was
returning from Kingfisher with his
wife. Mrs. Dow was partially over-
come by the shock and her husband
had to carry her into the house.
Lawhead's mother and sister visited
him at the jail yesterday afternoon
and appear almost heart-broken over
the affair.
GOVERNOR OFFERS REWARD
J. W, Seavers, Who Beat Asylum
tlent. Is Wanted for Murder.
Pa-
Snyder, even young as It Is, is
clamoring for a system of water
works. It Is trying to profit by the
dread experience of some towns in
the southwestern country that when
the the fire was on were absolutely
at its uiercy.
Guthrie, O. T., Oct. 23.—Governor
Ferguson offered a reward of $500. last
evening for the arrest and conviction
of J. W. Seavers charged with the
murder of Frank Elgin, a patient in
the asylum of insane persons at Nor-
man. Seavers was a ward attendant.
He became enraged at Elgin and
beat him so brutally that Elgin died
from the effect of the assault. Seav-
ers was located at Osawatomie, Kan.,
by the sheriff of Cleveland county,
Oklahoma, but the governor delayed
issuing a requisition and Seavers es-
caped. A coroner's jury at Norman
exonerated the officials of the Okla-
homa Sanitarium company for the
responsibility of Elgin's death. A
lawyer named Thomas, of Paola.Kan.,
a politician, is Seavers' attorney.
A girl in Norfolk, Va., was married
twice within twelve days. Her first
husband committed suicide because
of the attentions she paid the man
who has just become her second hus-
band.
