THE SCHOOL QUESTION.
The people of the north addition of
Ki\i(l, called .loncsvillc, are divided 011
the question an to whether they had
better have a school district of their
own or come into the city district.
In order to nettle the question County
Superintendent Swartout has called
an election to take place February
17, when the people will express them-
selves in the matter, and the major-
ity of the votes will decide it. The
citizens of Enid should give this mat-
ter their earnest attention as good
graded public schools have consider-
able to do with the future growth
and prosperity of the city. The
Enid district should be composed of
all the close adjoining addition for
many reasons, in fact our school
district should be at least two miles
square to make it healthy linancially
and in order to maintain a good
graded school. No doubt the north
addition will be joined to the city as
tioon as it can come in lawfully, hence
it should not be separated from us at
this time in school matters. The
north addition would be treated
fairly in the district; they would
have a representative 011 the board
and be allowed a good school build-
ing and the Wave is of the opinion
that if those people thoroughly Un-
derstood the advantage that would
accrue to them and their children by
toeing connected with the city schools
they would readily consent to coming
in. If two districts are made out of
-what is virtually all one city the
schools of both will be greatly crip-
pled. We doubt very much if the
• north district would be able tit main-
tain graded schools, hence, they
would be continually asking for the
admission of their more advanced
scholars into the city schools. Let
us have one real good school district
by all means. There should be a
meeting called where the citizens of
tioth sections can deliberate over
this important matter and if possible
compromise the matter.
Real good behaving law abiding
colored people deserve the respect of
•ill good citizens, but a sneaking
underhanded coon like Uensley is
beneath the notice of everybody,
more especially when he has been in-
dicted for rape, arson and purgery.
Why niggers have been hung in the
South for less crimes than stands
against this wretch.
The WAVE cannot afford to give up
•much of Its space in noting Hensley

loose like other animals, they will

broke down, the other day, and he
went out and "dash Hoke Smith."
A republican farmer came to town
and got but 2/i cents a dozen for his
eggs when he expected to get .'id,
and all the way home he "dash Hoke
Smith."
A republican cattle breeder's cow
dropped a bull calf when he wanted
a heifer and he sat up half the night
and "dash Hoke Smith."
A Cherry Grove nigger's mule ran
away and broke the wagon, and of
course the darky "dash Hoke Smith."
A minister was invited to perform
a marriage ceremony, and the repub-
lican justice who had concluded that
the particular couple was his meat
failed to find vent for his feelings
until he "dash Hoke Smith."
□ A pensioner whose wife ran away
with a sewing machine agent was
not in condition to be reconciled to
his loss until he had "dash Hoke
Smith."
A German whose kraut had fail-
ed to take on the proper tart flavor
was gravely Informed that it could
only be attributed to the fact that
he had not sufficiently "dash Hoke

A third ward fisherman ran his trot

on hooks roused the whole river front

The man who bet 011 another man's
game and lost "dash Hoke Smith."
The thief who was sent up for
stealing his neighbor's hogs "dash

The republican old maid who failed
to secure the love of a lusty young
democrat, "dash Hoke Smith."
DA republican jury would be asked
to acquit a self-confessed murderer
if it could be shown that subsequent
to the commission of the crime he
had "dash Hoke Smith."
And Hoke Smith who is Mr.
Cleveland's secretary in the Inter-
ior, pursues the even tenor of his way,
plugging a leak in the treasury here
and another there, executing the
law as he finds them, treating the
private soldier with the same courtesy
shown a Major-General, knowing
neither friend or foe in the discharge
of his office duties, conducting his
great office on strictly business
principles, and with an eye single to
to the good of the country, regard-
less of the fact that his course is in
contravention of all republican
precedents. And this is why one
cannot pick up a republican paper
that has not "dash Hoke Smith "

A government employe at the
agency, who, for obvious reasons, does
not want his name mentioned, related
to a Herald reporter that Wednesday
night he had occasion to build a bon-
fire on the ice in the Canadian river
just above the agency. He left it
burning and went home yesterday
morning and when he returned he
was surprised to see four coyotes sit-
ting on the ice on their haunches in a ,
circle about the black embers. He I
approached them, and while they
made frantic efforts to escape, they
seemed fastened to the ice. He pro-
cured a club and dispatched all four. |
His theory is that they sat down 011

tire, and froze fast. K1 Reno Herald. I
"The Twice-a- Week Timet;."
The Kansas Cltj Times on January
10 began issuing the Weekly Times
twice instead of once a week. The
price of the two papers will remain
the same as that charged for one.
The Twice-a-Week Times will be
mailed to any address for $1 per year,
50 cents for six months, 25 cents for
three months, less than one cent per
copy. The high standard which has
made The Weekly Times indespens-
able to tlionsands of homes for nearly
a quarter of a century will be main-
tained. The news and literary fea-
tures which have distinguished it
from all other weekly papers will be
continued and others added. No ex-
pense will be spared in the collection
of news or the securing of high class
literary matter. The Twice-a-Week
Times will be as the Weekly Times
has been, a newspaper and a maga
zine in one.
To anyone who will send The Times
three new yearly subscriptions to the
Twice-a-Week Times, together with
a draft or post office money order for
the paper will be sent for one year
free. If you prefer organize a club
of three new paid subscribers for six
months or three months and the
Twice-a-Week Times will be mailed
free for a corresponding period.
Sample copies will be mailed free
to any address. Liberal terms to
agents and postmasters.

—Dueling1 in Russia has become so
common that the government has been
compeled to decree a code of punish-
ment. If a duelist kills an antagonist,
it will cost him six years in prison; for
severe wounding, the penalty will be
three years; duel without injury, six
months; provoking* a duel, six weeks to
three months.
—Offenbach was the French Gilmore.
He always tried to please rather than
instruct, and of the sixty-four operas
that he wrote in less than twenty-five
years only one had the good fortune
to last more than three or four years.
His maxim was "A grain of wit is bet-
ter than a bushel of learning," and
never tired of repeating it.

mitting a ferocious beast abroad," 1 for
