The whack, whack of the carpen-
ters hammer is a common song in
Enid.
Enid feels proud of her nice young
trees on the central government res-
ervation.
This; in hard weather on the work-
men putting up the various buildings
in the city.
Talk about the rainy seasc". in Cu-
• ja. It is Oklahoma. If this ain't a
rainv season what is.
The Marshal Mercantile cellar
pump is kept Running day and night
now to keep the water out.
it seems to be no trouble for the
dampness to gather and fall in this
vineyard. It rains about all the time
now davs.
It is fun to read of being a soldier;
dream of being a soldier and playing
soldier but the reality in a hard cam-
paign is not a bit funny.
It is still raining. All those who
cannot swim are hereby warned to
go to the second/ story and stay
there until the water goes down.
The Rock Island railroad has a
downhill pull on Enid jet it wishes
it had the business at some other
town. The company dont like Enid.
Old sour's unholy police court pulled
a populist convention yesterday and
the brute played the usual role in
fixing guilt. No man escapes who has
a dollar.
The best way to drive trade away
from the city is to keep brutal po'ice
on the streets to throw farmers into
the quay. That kind of performance
will bring trade to Enid, Oh yes!
When a couple of farmers have al
little scrap on these streets the
brutes of the police force rush them
to the quay. When a couple of ho-
boos fight the police run and hide.
The Prantz Brothers of Enid receiv-
ed a letter from their brother Prank,
saying he had joined Arizona's cavalry
troop which will be attached to the
same regiment as the Oklahoma
troop.
The Woracek LumberCo. are paint-
ing the lumber yard fence, office
building and lumbershed a nice plain
white. This will be odd from the gen-
eral run of lumber yards as red has
been the regular color for years.
The Supper Bell of Perry claiming
to be a Democratic sheet of a nap-
kin calibre says it wouldn't commit
suicide if Dick Morgan was elected
to congress. Guess not, the Supper
Bell will be dead long before Dick
Morgan is elected to Congress.
A correspondent writing from
Havana says this of a Spanish girl
whom he chanced to meet: "Her
eyes rest upon and follow you—large,
dark and beaming, half veiled with
long lids and lashes." Now open
plenty of recruiting offices.—K. C.
Times.
The Weekly Wave will reach its
readers this Week a twelve page pa-
per contaning twenty columns of fresh
war news for the benefit of our farm-
er readers It is not deemed worth
waile to give much war news in the
daily unless we could get it hot from
the wires.
If a citizen of Enid is making a
living for liis family and happenedjto
disobeys an ordinance it is proper,
we presume, to line him, but when it
comes to being rushed to the quay by
a cold blooded half v.'itted ignorant
policeman it is time for the business
men of the city to call a halt. The
quay is intended for prisoners whoiare
liable to skip the citv only. Meiber-
gen had better teli his plug uglies
tins fact. :
War Mows.
The latest war news from the other
s!.le of the world is glorious. Our
h ave commodore Dc.vey sailed right
into the Manila harbor and had his
own way with the Spanish fleet and
lurts and sinking the entire Spanish
I! n and killing about 106 Spaniards.
Tr.e last report states, unofficially,
that the Spaniards have capitulated
the* Island. The cables have been
cut stopping the reports. The loss
to the Americans was light in life or
damage to the ships. Commander
Deweys bravery in making the at-
tack without fear of torpedo or
mines admired and applauded by the
world. It Is thought the powers will
try to persuad Spain to give up
the light: surrender Cuba and quit.

Doctors Can't
Cure It!
Contagious blood poison is absolutely
beyond the skill of the doctors. They
may dose a patient for years on their
mercurial and potash remedies, but he
will never be rid of the disease; on the
other hojul, his condition will grow
steadily worse. S. S. S. is the only cure
for this terrible affliction, because it is
the only remedy which goes direct to
the cause of the disease and forces it
from the system.
I was afflicted with Blood Poison, and the
best doctors did me no good, though I took
y their treatment faith-
fully. In fact, I seemed
^ to got worse all the
while. I took almost
every SQ-calied blood
remedy, but they did not
seem to reach the dis-
ease, and had no effect
whatever. I was dis-
heartened, for it seemed
that I would never be
cured. At the advice of
a friend I then took
S. S. S., and began to im-
prove. I continued the
medicine, and it ourea me completely, build-
ing up my health and increasing my appetite.
Although this was ten years ago, I have never
yet haa a sign of the disease to return.

It is like self-destruction to continue
to take potash and mercury; besides
totally destroying the digestion, they
dry up the marrow in the bones, pro-
ducing a stiffness and swelling of the
joints, causing the hair to fall out, and
completely wrecking the system.

the only blood remedy free from these
dangerous minerals.

Weather for May.
The last storm period for April
will have hardly subsided in central
and eastern sections on May the 1st,
on which date moon is on the celes-
tial equator, inciting prolonged and
vigorous electrical and atmospheric
unrest. Much cooler weather will be
advancing from the north-west' and
by the 4th, its progress lo the At-
lantic coast regions will have been
completed. Prom 4th to 7th, falling
barometer, raising temperature and
rain storms will make their transit
from the western to the eastern
sides of the country. Storm condi-
tions will develop in the far west on
about the 4th, ar.d their approach
to any given locality on their pro-
gress eastward during the 5th, 6th
and 7th may be plainly seen by the
most indifferent persons. The full
moon and perigee on the 5th and 7th,
indicate that forceful disturbances
may result generally about those
dates. A wave of quite cool weath-
er with frosts to northward will most
likely follow this storm era.
If we are not greatly mistaken
there is much tendency to very ac-
tive storms each year from about
the 10th to 15th of May. If we are
right this tendency will be increas-
ed this month by a regular storm
period, central on the 10th. Look
for very warm weather and general
depression of the barometer ending
in heavy storms during this period.
If the barometer does not rise and
the temperature remains high, with
easterly and southerly winds, until
the 14th many violent storms will
oe highly probable on and touching
that date. It can do no harm and
might result in a great good to
watch all storm indications at this
period.
Another fall of barometer, rise in
temperature and general return to
storm conditions will be the order
about 16th to 18th. Changes to
warmer with a series of daily rain
and thunder storms, from the 20th
to 24th. Watch all vicious looking
storm clouds about Saturday. Sun-
day and Monday, the 21st to 23rd, a
daily cycle of rain and thunder
storms .may be expected until such
changes do appear even if they last
up to and through the reactionary
period central on the 27th to 29th.
No need be surprised if many
things out of the ordinary transpire,
such as seismetic shocks, solar out-
burst, auroral and magnetic distur-
bances, with some wicked, danger-
ous storms, the last half of May and
ten days or more into Jun e.—Word
and works.
A Twister.
Last Sunday morning a cyclo ne or
tornado struck the home of Mr. May
living eighteen miles northeast near
Red Rock creek. It was lifted, twist-
ed and entirely destroyed and disap-
peared as completely as if the house
had never been there. An organ and
a sewing machine were in the house
no trace of either has been found.
The. family consisting of four got
out of the house uninjured some way
but they do not know how. A sub-
scription was taken up yesterday to
build Mr. May a covering for his
family.
FIRE LAW. _
It is positively against the law to
set out a tire anywhere on your own
land at any timcwithout first having
notified your neighbors of your inten-
tion at least a day before hand and
after having plowed or prepared
sufficient and legal fire guards at
least twenty feet wide completely
around the spot to be burned. If
lire is set out without having com-
piled with these requirements the
person setting out the fire is not only
subject to a criminal prosecution
but Is liable civilly for all damages
sustained by any person by reason of
such fire.

It is funny when we come to think
that the scene of the naval battle at
Manilla is almost directly on the
other side ot the globe from us. Just
think of it, Commodore Dewey's ships
were upside down from us while they
were fighting.

Believing that we live in an age of reason when all men
are best able for themselves to make their own selections
through life. We reason that you farmers are best able to
make your own selections when it oomes to the need of har-
vesting and other machinery, and feeling that the cost of
representatives running through the country telling the far-
mers what to do and what Kind of harvesters to buy, ought
to be left with our customers instead, we invite you to call
