out of a salary of eight thousand dol-

TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.
A Little Girl Dragged To Death
By A Frightened Horse.
Miss Bulah Preston, an 8-year-old
daughter of Chas. Preston, living 20
miles northwest of this city met her
death in a most horrible manner last
Thursday evening. She was return-
ing from school riding horseback. A
neighbor boy was riding behind her, he
did something, not reported, to scare
her horse. The animal throwed the
girl, and her foot caught in the stir-
rup which simply made the horse
frantic. She was dragged one and
one half miles to her home and
through several barb wire fences,
the horse never stopping until
he arrived at home. Wheu the par-
ents found the child she wasdead and
her body was simply thumped into a
mass of lacerated flesh and broken
bones the funeral occured Saturday
and was attended by the entire com-
munity as the tragic death of the
little girl who wasloved by all caused
all hearts to weep. This is the most
terrible accident that has ever hap-
pened in this county,
half upon June, 15 1898. When the
first half is unpaid upon the third
Monday in January, 1898, the whole
amount immediately becomes delin-
quent.
All delinquent taxes bear interest
at the rate of eighteen per cent per
annum from the date of delinquency
until date of payment.

Pete Carroll and Herb Thomas sat
in he office of the North Side hotel
at Enid one day last week. A farmer
with a wagon load of sweet potatoes
stopped in front the hotel, and after
hitching his team, caine in and in-
quired for the clerk. "I'm the clerk"
answered Herb. "Wal," said the
farmer, "I've got a few sweet taters
I'd like ter sell ye." Herb walked out
and looked at them and asked what
they were worth. "Forty cents 'er
bushel.'' "I'll give you thirty-five
cents." "All right," said the farmer
"how many do y;r want?'1 Herb told
him five bushel and to drive around
to the kitchen and put them 'r. a box
and the cook would pay for them.
About fifteen minutes later terrible
sounds came from the direction of
the kitchen, then suddenly appeared
the cook with: "who told you to buy

POWER OF THE HEART.
The human heart /is practially a
force pump, a force pump[about six
inches in length and four inches in
diameter. It beats seventy times
per minute, 4,200 per hour 100.800
times per day and 2,575,440,000—say
two thousand five hundred and seven-
ty-five millions four hundred and for-
ty thousand times in seventy years,
which is "man'sappointed threescore
years and ten." At each of these
beats it forces 2 1-2 ounces of blood
through the system, 175 ounces per
minute, 956 1-4 pounds per hour, or
or 7.03 tons per day. All the blood in
the body which is estimated at about
30 pounds, passes through the heart
every three minutes. This little or-
gan pumps every day what is equal
to lifting 122 tens one foot high—
that is, one ton to the top of a 40-
yard mill chimney. During the 70
years of a man's life this marvelous
little pump,without a moment's rest,

BRYAN IN NEBRASKA.
Hon. W. J. Bryan is now ma king

home state. He is receiving great
and enthusiastic ovations wherever
he goes, and no hall in the towns,
where he speaks, can be found that

be in the state next week to help the

Few men in this country are better
or more favorably known to the drug
and medicine trade than E. J. Schall,
buyer in the proprietary medicine
department of the Meyer Bros.' Drug
Co., St. Lonis. He says: "My boy
came home from school with his hand
badly lacerated and bleeding, and
suffering great pain. I dressed the
wound and applied Chamberlain's
Pain Balm, freely; all pain ceased,
and in a remarkably short time, it
healed without leaving a scar. For
wounds, sprains, swellings and rheu-
matism, I know of no medicine or
prescription equal to it. I consider
it a household necissity.'' Sold by

WHEAT TEST.
To farmers who fear that the
drouth has ruined the seed wheat
now in the ground a practical farmer
near Frankfort, Ind..recommends the
following simple test before the fields
are replanted: Gather seed from
the fields where it has been sown and
place it in a pan of water, where it
will soon send forth sprouts if the
embryo has life, and many dollars as
well as much labor will be saved by
the experiment.

HAVENS IN THE FRONT.
The Guthrie correspondent of the
Wichita Beacon says:
"It was reported here yesterday
and to day that Judge Havens of
Enid had withdrawn his indorsements
for a place on the supreme bench,
and. like A. C. Scott of Oklahoma
City, and begun active operations to
secure the United States District At-
torneyship. Judge Havens teems
with aspirations and believes he is
entitled to a choice slice of political
pastry. The attorneyship pays $5000
a year and the work is not irksome.
In fact, it is easy enough to allow a
lawyer to practice a trifle on the side
Judge Havens doubtless realizes this
fact, and is anxious to mix in fodder
that will keep his feet worm. The
Judge has quite a string of endorse-
ments and is likely to win out by his
change.
Bray is adverting the Wave in
good shape for which we are thank-
ful. We are not a bit mad. He says
beyond all doubt that the Wave has

so but since Bray says we have
