- ase Ball Boys Score a Triumph
over Round Pond.
Last Sunday the Round Pond boys
, jt'laycd the Enid nine and were beaten
Why a score of fifteen to eleven. The
Ljame was played nine innings, the
Byisitors having the bat in the first
j inning and in the last also. Some
'Vlever work was done by the Hound
■Pond boys, but they were unable
I to find the balls that Crooch sent in
f to them. The Enid's have an excel-
j lent battery in Crooch and Roach,
V' ho pitched and caught throughout
<\the game. The visitors put in three
ft/v fferent pitchers, but they availed
Tithing against the home nine, who
rA 1nocked some pretty balls far out in-
Mu> the left lield, besides a "homer"
'for Roach, a three-bagger for Huff
j and one for Crooch, a two-bagger for
^Acers. Riley made a brilliant sacri-
ifice, sending Acers home and Huff
'made a brilliant one-handed catch.
' A large crowd witnessed the game
Iwhich was played on the lield south
town. The Round Pond boys were
la handsome, manly set of young fel-
i tows and Enid was glad to welcome
jkhem here and hopes that they will
Jicome to see us again sometime.

flux of wide extended words is often
evidence of a lamentable constipa-
tion of morals. It is far better to
learn to respect the Sabbath than it
is waste brain and muscle on the tank
boys on that day. If you resolved to
remain at home it would be worth
several dollars to you, if it only
taught you the habit of obedience
and self restraint. You say that
Sunday school and church are "tame"
but the tame horses are the only ones
that are of any account in this world:
and if you let your own unbridled de-

DEATH OF EI.DFR T. KMITII.
The (Jrcat Mormon ICIdcr Strlckeu with
Paralyida.
Iicdkfekdrxck, Mo., May 2v.—Elder
T. Smith, one of the apostolic quorum
of the reorganized branch of the Mor-
mon church, died at his home in this
city yesterday. He was also a mem-
ber of the bishopric, and on account of
his death the Mormon temple in this
city has been draped with the emblems
of mourning. The deceased was one
of the most prominent missionaries in
the church, having occupied mission
fields iu Nova Scotia. British Colum-
bia, points in the United States,
and was on his way to Aus-
tralia and the South Sea Inlands
when stricken with paralysis. Elder
Smith entered the Mormon church
in 186fl. In 1878 he was chosen a mem-
ber of the quorum of twelve by special
elevation from the prophet, Joseph
Smith. In 1884 he was assigned to the
South Sea islands, where he is said to
have converted 1,000 souls to the Mor-
mon faith. Two years ago he returned
| to America and was again sent to the
; southern seas. While en route he re-
ceived the affliction which finally end-
j ed in his death.
j Some ten days ago the prophet, Jo-
i seph Smitfi, was in the city and gave
forth a revelation from the spirit fore-
telling the death of the noted mission
worker. Two days afterward the elder
received the second stroke of paralysis.
Important Ingtirance Decision.
Kansas City, Mo., May 2§.—An im-
portant insurance decision was made
to-day in the Kansas City court of ap-
peals, each of the judges handing down
separate opinions. It was decided that
when a person employs au agent to
take out a policy of insurance for him.
and the insurance company can-
cels the policy, notice of cancellation
served on the agent is not legally suf-
ficient to render the policy void. Notice,
it was held, must be served on the
holder of the policy personally. The
question had never been decided in this
state before, and affects every holder
of a policy of insurance.
A Itoyit 1 l alr United.
Brussels, May 29.—The marriage of
Princess Josephine, of Belgium, to
Prince Charles, of Ilohenzollern-Sig-
inaringen. took place to-day. The
civil wedding- occurred at 10 o'clock
and the religious ceremony was cele- |
brated afterward in the private chapel
of the royal palace. The wedding was
distinctly private and, therefore, all
the ceremonies were performed within
the walls of the palace.

Right It WIU I.euve to the

Washington, May 29.—Representa-
tive Bailey, of Texas, will again bring and then eulogized his own bill for
forward his resolution questioning Sec- remedying all these evils now before
retary Carlisle s authority to issue the committee on banking and cur-
TIIK HANK RILL UP.
Mr. Springer Present* Hid Circulation Mew-
ore and Kxpialn* It.
Washington, May 26.—After the
house had acted on several private bills
to-day the state bank tax repeal bill
came up and Mr. Springer, of Illinois,
addressed the house in advocacy of the
adoption of the bill. He spoke fully of
the evils resulting from the issue of
state bank notes to the people
at large and trade and commerce
of the country, gave a full'
history of the failures and losses aris-
ing from the wild-cat banking circula-
tion which preceded the greenbacks,
bonds to meet current expenses, in case
another bond issue is determined upon.
The Bailey resolution excited much
comment when the recent issue was
made, but failed to have any effect in
checking the issue, as the bonds were
on the market before Mr. Bailey was
able to pilot his resolution through the
judiciary committee and got it before
the house.
Mr. Bailey's resolution is on the cal-
endar and he says he will endeavor to
cull it up on the first intimation that
official action is being taken for an-
other sale of bonds. He says the reso-
lution may be changed and strengthen-
ed by being made a joint resolution, and
he expresses confidence that both the
senate and house will pass it if it is
brought to a vote.
I'he majority report of the judiciary
committee on the resolution states that
it appears too clear for argument that
the secretary of the treasury was au-
thorized to issue bonds only to enable
him to provide for the redemption au-
thorized or required in that act. The
minority report was presented by Rep-
resentatives Watson, Ray and Childs.
It : ays of the Bailey resolution:
Whether this action is in good taste or not

dcclcU*. The bo wls proposed to be sold are not
V< t issued and the proceeds of a bond sale are

1T< has verv frankly doclared that the present
condition of the treasury Is alarming; that uti-
les?; measures are adopted by congress to re-
plenish the treasury, now well nigh exhausted,
the day is not far distant when he must do one
or two things cease to pay the obligations of
the government, announce that the govern-
ment of the United States under democratic
luanagomeni is bankrupt, or use any money
found in the treasury to maintain the credit of
the nation.
SENATOR VEST.
rency. He described the bill section
by section, the tfist of the measure be-
ing that all national notes issued
should be protected by deposits of gold
to the extent of 20 percent., and United
States, state, loan or county bonds
for the other 80 per cent., all banks to
be made the means of distribution,
even if it calls for the establishment of
a bank in every village, the notes to be
issued in three classes—series A corre-
sponding with the amount of gold de-
posited ami paying 2-10 of 1 per cent,
per annum to the government to
cover expenses of the issuing commis-
sion, series B to equal 00 per cent,
of all the currency issued to the
bank, which must pay 1 per cent, per
annum, and series C, issued to the
amount of the remaining 20 per cent,
which must pay to the government 4
per cent, per annum. The object of
the series is to secure the necessary
elasticity. Class A and B would fur-
nish all the currency needed for ordi-
nary business of the people. Class C
would not be taken out unless the
emergency required and was worth the
interest charged. When the stringency
subsided it would be returned and
made applicable to any other section
of the country wherever required. The
currency could therefore, never be de-
preciated and as it would be made legal
tender and receivable for all dues and
could not go beyond the necessities of
the people it would never cause panics,
but would release all financial strin-
gency before the banks could be
affected.

The Council.
The principal theme at the called
council meeting last Monday was the
waterworks franchise. The ordi-
nance was finally passed allowing for
forty hydrants at $2,000 per year, to
be paid by the city, the waterworks
company to be under bond for the
faithful performance of its contract.
Some of Enid's people don't like

does as much good as Lee did they
will probably fall in line. We notice
a little difference in the brogue, how-
ever. the new captain remarks, "'Ave
you been saved 'allehuja" while Lee
always said, "Hev you bin saved
hallelujah." The former is "hinglish"

'A Fine Episcopal Church to be Built

Captain Hassler showed a Wave
^porter the plans for a handsome

[location in Wogan's new addition to

i>f the city. The design is on the
cottage church order with a high

fan sec the plan by enquiring of
Captain Hassler.
Since Captain Hassler has been
made warden of the church he roars
