only a change of parties, but a
change of policy and laws immediate-
ly. We do not endorse all the Demo-
cratic party has done in its national
work for the past two years, for
there have been traitors in the camp,
yet the genaral policy of the party
is in the right direction. Because
the. evils which have been accumulat-
ed for thirty years were not immedi-
ately eradicated, the republicans
are again in control. The same dis-
appointment will follow and the only
hope the leaders have in allaying
discontent, will be to throw all re-
sponsibility upon a Democratic exec-
utive. But two years will likely pro-
duce ano ther landslide.
The truth is, this country, from the
standpoint of old ideas of free gov-
ernment is in a bad fix. Centraliza-
tion has been quietly going on for
vears and class legislation has build-
ed a money aristocracy which is diffi-
cult to dislodge. Offices are consid-
ered a private snap instead of a
ies' society.
These little social gatherings are
the source of much pleasure in Enid,

About thirty relatives and friends
were present to witness the impress-
ive ceremony, which bound two
hearts in one, performed by Kev.
Festes Foster. The ceremony was
performed under the Episcopal
faith, the solemn contract being
sealed with a beautiful ring. The
happy couple left on last evening's

Chicago, Washington and other
large cities and on March 1st, will re-
turn to Lincoln, Nebraska, where the
grooin is the proprietor of a large
furniture business, and where they
will be given a grand reception, and
thereafter reside.
The bride is quite well known in
Enid, being the daughter of G. L.
Laws, a prominent lawyer of this
city. She is a handsome and accom-
plished young lady one whom any man
might be proud to call his own.
The groom is not known to many of
our people, this being his lirst visit.
He is said to be a prominent man of
the city in which he resides, and
quite favorably known all through
the state of Nebraska. There is no
doubt that the bride chose well, and
the Wave extends bet-.t wishes to the
happy couple.

feat of the kind ever heard of, simply
miraculous. The stone was so heavy
as to require the assistance of five
