A Foot Race up Over

A tall heavy set middle aged man,
fairly well dressed visited the l'ack-
ett store about 2:liO p. m. to day. tie
kept looking around as if he was go-
ing to buy something soon. After
wh ile he was seen taking his over-
coat off and wraping it up placed it
over his arm. One of the clerks
thought he noticed the fellow wrap
something up in the coat, * alking
to the place where the man had stood
three sets of ladies furs were missing.
The man had just gone out. but
couple cf the clerks took alter the
man.
They yelled to him to stop, but
knowing what they were alter he
started to rtt'i but. before he had gone
far, running east 011 Broadway, he
dropped the furs but continued mak-
ing good time as a pacer going east.
By this time sprinter Marshal Clark
was on the trail like a grey hound.
It was a hot race about 8 blocks
Somebody stopped the fugative or
the east hill until Clark reached him
and brought him to the sheriff's . ttlce
He was taken to the jail and locked

Weathers. No one seemed to know
him. The goods stolen were worth

The townsite board are getting

caught the lucky lot numbers in the
recent great horse race will soon get
titles to their lots.

COMMITTEE.
A committee of reformer* have hit
the town.
And some of our business men try
to pull down.
They call loudly to the people to give
them aid;
Of the people morals they are sorely
afraid.
In a financial way they don't cut any
figure; '
But for raising a fuss they are some
what bigger.
These same men will go and deceive;
Those who give more money in one
day to relieve.
Theirjfellow man in a time of need;
And thfeir purse is open to any
creed.
These same reformers if the truth
was told;
Would gladly fill their fUnks with
gold.
And hie awai to the promised land;
Regardless what became of their
fellowman.
Of all the reformers who ever have
been;
The most nas been done with the
tongue or pen.
It seems this committee with world
wide fames.
Have failed to give the public the
benefit of their names.
So the people could loudly praise;
And take eff their hat and respect-
fully g«ze;
At these lions of reform who have
taken in hand;
To reform this town to the last man

If the press report from Washing-
ton, published elsewl ere, is a true
exposure of the republican statehood
plan there would be no hope for state-
hood for tbe greater part of the In-
dian territory. If the lauds of the
civilized tribes of Indians are not to
be admitted to full communion in
the state of Oklahoma until the
Dawes Commission completes its ar-
derous duties, a child born the Gist
day of next February would be 90
years old before the Ifidian territory
would be admitted.
The Insanity Board was in session
today examining the mental condi-
tion of Bryant Beard who was re-
ported insane. The unfortunate man
lives near Garber. The Wave could
not learn the nature of the man's
malady.
|IIN OKLAHOMA.
The moonlight is the softest
In Oklahoma;
Summer's days come oftest
In ()klahoina;
Friendship is tile strongest.
Love's tires glow the longest,
Vet, a wrong is always wrongest
In Oklahoma.
The sunshine's ever brightest
In Oklahoma:
The breeze whisper lightest
In Oklahoma;
Plain girls are the fewest,
Maiden's eyes are the bluest,
Their little hearts are truest
in oklahoma.
Life's burdens bear the lightest
In Oklahoma;
Home-fires burn the brightest
In Oklahoma;
While the players are keenest,
Cards come out the meanest.
The pocket empties cleanest
In Oklahoma.
Orators are the grandest
In Oklahoma;
Officials are the blandest
in Oklahoma;
Boys are all the lliest,
Danger ever nighest,
Taxes arc the highest
In (>klahoma.
The blue grass waves the bluest
In Oklahoma.
Vet, bJuebloods are the fewi st(V)
' In Oklahoma;
Moonshine is the clearest
By no means of the dearest
And yet it acts the queerest
in Oklahoma.
The dove's notes are the saddest
In Oklahoma:
The streams dance the gladdest
In Oklahoma:
Hip pockets are thr thickest
Pistol hands the slickest
Cylinders turn quickest
In Oklahoma.
Song-birds are the sweetest
in Oklahoma:
Thoroughbreds the fleetest
In Oklahoma:
The mountains tower proudest ,
Thunder peals the loudest,
The landscape the grandest and
Politics the damnedest
In Oklahoma.
