THE FIRST BATTLE
•: >i r 3 ^
Majah Niblack's military move-
ments are kept a prof und secret, but
lie keapa throwing inky salute* to bis
chief Barnseyold boy.
The government should employ a
few detective boats to locate the
Spanish navy at some place lout;
enough for our fellows to aim a gun
or two at them.
Gen. Ilosenboom's company of vol-
unteers was not needed by the gov-
ernment and the general lias gone to
setting just like any other chicken.
It is quite probable that out of the
thirteen eggs under the general
three will come out rotten.
The postal savings scheme is the
best yet suggested if a war loan
must be made, but it will be fought
hard by the banks, becauoe ihey
want the people to deposit their mon-
ey with them, and they will invest
it in United States bonds and pock-
et the interest. No sort of legisla-
tion can be permitted which would
allow the little llshes in the puddle
to enjoy any part of the profits.

The Oklahoma Cltv Times Journal
says that Hill Walker pulled a little
Indian agency through the influence
of "Indian flights Association." It is
an error boys. It. is not generally
known yet it is true and as strange
as it'uiay seem , however, it is never-
theless true that Sly Oberlander en-
dorsed Wallce r. Sly's endorsement
was in tin- bottom of the deck; Mr.-
Klnley turned it for a jack and Hill
Walker won the game.
Away on the Other Side of the World.
—Our boys engaged the Spain-
ish Saturday Night.
The Wichita Eagle this morning
gave a report'of a battle between the
U. S. fleet stationed at. Hong Kong
and the Spanish fleet and forts sta-
tioned at Manilla, Philliplne Islands,
which are Spanish possessions. The
report comes from the enemy the
Spanish governor and of course is
flavored ao much as possible in favor
of the enemy. He states however,
that two Spanish gunboats have been
destroyed, one was burned and the
other hlowed up. The Spanish re-
port considerable loss of life on both
sides and claims that our fleet was
compelled to retreat. The report
from the U. S. fleet must come from
Ilong Kong which is |600 miles away
from the fight, hence, we cannot get
the particulars until about Thursday
of this week.

01 the Knile.
Mr. Lincoln Nelson, of Marsbfield, Mo.,
writes: "lJor six years I have been a
sufferer from a scrofulous affection of
the glands of my neck, and all efforts
nf physicians in Washington, I),
Springfield, 111., and St. Louis ailed to
reduce the enlargement. After six
months' constant treatment here, my
physician urged me to submit to a re-
moval of the gland. At this critical mo-
ment a friend recommended S.b.b.,
and laying aside a deep-rooted Pre)u"
dice against all patent medicines, I be-
ean its use. Before I had used one bot-
tle the enlargement began to disappear,
and now it is entirely gone, though lam
not through with my second bottle yet.
Had I only used your S.S.S. long ago,
I would have escaped years of misery
and saved over $150." , ,,
This experience is like that of all who
suffer with deep-seated blood troubles.
The doctors can do no good, and even
their resorts to the kuife prove either
fruitless or fatal. S.S.S. is the only
real blood remedy; it gets at the root of
the disease and forces it out perma-

cow-
THE republican press of the terri-
tory is setting up quite a howl in re-
gards to Mr. Callahan appointing the
son of an Ohio millionaire as a cadet
to West Point from Oklahoma. The
Wave has not had time to investi-
gate the truth of this charge, but if
it is true, Mr. Callahan deserves the
severest censure regardless of polit-
ical lines. There are hundredsof boys
In the territory whose parents are
closely identified with the territory
who would have been glad to havt
received the appointment and many
of them are populist boys too. If
this charge 'is true there is only one
construction to be a put upon the af-
fair and that is simply that an Ohio
millionaire bought a cadetshlp at
West point for his son.
Rightly Named Creek. •
If any creek in Oklahoma
rightly named by the festive
boys it is Skeleton, creek. About 300
bleaching Indian skeletons lie scat-
tered on upper Skeleton Creek,
while eiht negro skeletons disfigur-
ed a little lie near the mouth of the
ghastly named stream. The cow-
boys says the Indian skeletons are
the bones of the Northern Chey-
ennes who, while traveling south-
ward caught the smallpox, and
their medicine men, not knowing
how to manage the pest, all of them
died and remained unwept, un-
conlined unburied. The negro skele-
tons found near where the creek
empties into the Cimarron were the
remains of eight darkies who met
death at the hands of their former
Cherokee masters, from whom they
were trying to escape on stolen
horses.—Stroud Star.
FREE HOMES AGAIN.
Washington, April 27.—Special-
Delegate Callahan arrived here this
morning, and is in conference with
the committee on Indian affairs. The
two houses will meet Wednesday and
consider the Indian appropriation
bill. A determined effort is being
made to retain the free homes amend-
ment.
WHICH.
Temple-Houston tells a good story
regarding a trial in a western town
not long since. A number of witness-
es owing to religion scruples, refused
to be sworn, but affirmed instead. The
testimony of this class of witnesses
had been exhausted, but the attorney
conducting the case was not aware
but others of a like character follow
ed'and when a long lank cowboy spec-
imen was called to the stand the law-
yer asked: "Do you swear or affirm?
The westerner very unconcernedly re
plied, "I don't care a d -m which."

MCKINLEY VS. GRANDMA.
McKinley withes to whip Spain with
hunger, which reminds us of the time
our grandma run a blockade on the
rats lonif before the late civil wa.
The old lady stopped up all the rat
holes in the house and earned all the
provision down to the spring h<-u e
nights and locked up. Then the r i s
went down to the spring house tni-at
where it was cooler and then came
back to the house full of vim and re-
venue and-for spite they chewed up
grandmother brass bureau drawer
knobs. Now, while Mac is starving
the Spaniards in Cuba from one side
of the Island thev are unloading
oodles of grub on the other side. In
the language of the pulled sword of
Col. Marsh Mur.lock "In the name of
hellroarinir creek why don't they
fight."
CORRECT.
Talk about a cowardly and subsi-
dized press! Nearly every paper in
Oklahoma has openly denounced the
building of the Alva Normal school;
but can you find twelve business men
or politicians in the territory who
will consent to be interviewed either
in favor or against this iniquitous
movement?—Oklahoma Times-Journ-
al.
WHOA EMMA!
An Illinois paoer thinks it remark-
able that a horse chews gum. Near-
ly every jackass in this country has
been doing it for years and never
raised a suspicion that it was a fear
of intellect.—McMafiters Magazine,
Are you roasting usBro. McMaster?
You must remember we have only
been chewing four months.
Jackass Bray thinks there is noth-
ing much in reform unless he is boss
reformer at high ratio. He has been
s telling the people for four years
what kind of a robber and boodlerthe
Wave and the Eagle was and indir-
ectly invited the people to put him ini
He p ushed in and of all the boodle
and robbing records found in the coun
ty the Jackass takes the cake. Af-
ter agreeing to do the county work
for 50 cents a square he not only
jumped over the legal rate 75 cents
but charged $1.00 per square- Bray
informed the people through the
Coming Uncertainty and on the
streets that he had contracted to
do.the County legal publication print
ing for 50 cents a square, and his
first bill shows that he had made
such a contract vet he went right
on the witness stand and swore that
he had made no contract with the
county commissioners. Can an hon-
est populist follow such an assumed
leader as this. The Wave thinks
not, in fact, it knows that very few
can stomach the dose.
Mr. John Peterson, of Patoutvllle,
La., was very agreeably surprised
not long ago. For eighteen months
he had been troubled with dysentery
and had tried three of the best doc-
tors in New Orleans, besides half a
dozen or more patent medicines, but
received little relief. Chamberlain's
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Rem-
edy, having been recommended to
him, lie gave it a trial and to his
greatest surprise, three doses of
that remedy effected a permanent
cure. Mr. Wm. McNamara, a well
known merchant of the same place
is well acquainted with Mr. Peterson
and oattests to the truth of his
statement. This remedy is for sale
by all Druggists.
You will find a full stock of drugs,
patent medicines, paints, oils, etc.,

JUST RECOGNITION
The administration at Washington
has decided to show its appreciation
of General Fitzhugh Lee's distin-
guished and faithful services in Cuba
by giving him a commission as Major
General of volunteers and putting
him in command of a division of the
army for the invasion of Cuba. The
American people without a dissent-
ing voice, will be pleased to see this
mark of honor and gratitude bestow-
ed upon General Lee. He richly de-
serves it.
GOOD FOR NOTHING.
It is reported that a message pass-
ed on the wire this afternoon an-
nouncing that our fleet in bombard-
ing Manilla in the Phiilipine Island
ad sunk every Spanish man of war
in that Harbor. This is all right if
true.
A SLY SHELL.
Reports come from the west side
that Sly Oberlander is up to his old
tricks again. He is posing in the
dual role of reconcentrado and a
survivor of the Maine.—Leader.
L. F. Farley conducts a large mer-
cantile business at Liberty Hill, Ga.
He says: "One application of Cham-
berlain's Pain Balm relieved me of
a severe pain in my back. I think
it O. K." For lame back, rheuma-
tism, neuralgia, swellings, sprains,
brusies, burns and scalds no other
liniment can approach Chamber-
lain's Fain Balm. It is Intended es-
pecially for these diseases and is fa-
mous for its cures. For sale bv all
Druggists.
Sheriff Bishop happend to be on
the local freight going south last
Friday evening. A few miles south
of Waukomis two negros walking
along the track threw a big rock at
the ca boose knocking a big hole in
a window sash and breaking the
glass. The Sheriff notified parties
at Waukomis to look out for the
coons and bring them to the bastile.
late in the evening the track boss
and his men captured the nigs and
brought them to jail on the hand car,
A warrant was sworn out before

miller of Logan Township with firing

doing much damage to four or five of
his neighbors.
HELLROARING COMPARISON.
Callahan has introduced over 500
bills in Congress and has secured
the passage of—0. Place this re-
cord by the side of the one made by
Flyn, then go hire some man with a
No. 10 boot to kick you for voting
for Callahan.—Medford Patriot.
Wonder if old man Palmer consid-
ers anything but the pleasing of
some blatherskite of a politican be-
longing to his party. The only bill
Dennis Flyn succeeded in passing
was the bill to cinch the capital at
Guthrie which he succeeded in get-
ting through.
I Tnere is a whole lot of talk about
I an editor who deals viciously in per-
sonalities, but there is scarcely ever
anything said in regards to the brutes
who deal viciously with an editor.
Men who threaten an editor with
violence should he publish anything
against them or gives violence to
crush a paper to silence deserves se-
vere roasting and they generally get
it from all well regulated newspa-
peis.
Judge D. Donovan has sold his
farm in North Enid Township a
has moved into the place know-n as
the Atkinson cottage on F. street
5th ward. Judge Donovan is contem-
plating the erection of a nice roomy
cottage home in the near future.
A Democrat of Marshal township
has asked the Wave, by postal card
"Who is the territoral central com-
mitteeman of this county?" Frank
F, Stevens of W aukomis in the re-
gularly elected Territorial central
committeeman; but the chairman of
each county central committee is a
exofficio members of the territorial
committee. Through the kindness
of Major N. B. Crump the officious
Col. JohnC. Moore has been holding
a proxy to a seat in the committee
for lo these many moons, Mr. Crump
not wishing to attend. All these
constitutional opportunities gives
the Colonel achance to pose for the
future. The Colonel Is very much
opposed to proxys .generally hence,
his proxy to the Central com-
mittee should be abrogated.
Castelarsays the United States
was his ideal of a government, and
he hates to see his ideal go to pieces
We shall try and save the pieces,
Mr. Castelar, so dont worry—K. C
Times.
There is actually nothing in the
Coming Uncertainty this last week
but a grand and continual editorial
advertisement for the Wave and
the county commissioners. It shows
so plainly the methods and madness
of Bray because he lost something he
thought was his beyond a doubt. None
of it is worthy of answer.
1.
Every paper of the territory except
the Wave gave Bill Walker stick
full after stick full of taffy which
cost Bill a whole lot of money in
marking pencils and postage stamps
sending the taffy to the front. This
shows the influence of the WAVE
with the administration from a Dem-
ocratic standpoint.
Oklahoma supplies but one troop
of cavalry to the United States,
much to the regret of 72,000 volun-
teers. Will Spain kindly take a few
Oklahoma volunteers? It is very evi-
dent that Uncle Sam has little use
for the territory.—Washington
POSt.
Just because Billy Bryan was
smart enough and able enough to
earn $3,400 in one day in Wichita
every Republican citizen of that
town who cant earn over a dollar is
still howling about it.
The Kansas City Times has begun
setting the war to music. Well, any-
thing to subdue the moatiings of the
wounded.
