Thursday evening at the residence
of Ira W. Waters, four miles west of
Waukomis, the contracting parties
l,eing Mr. John S. Perry and Miss
Bertha D. Vincent, Elder J. S. Riley
of Enid, officiating.
The croom is one of Garfield coun-
ty's most industrious citizens, owning
a good deeded claim and plenty of
stock and implements for work. He
was raised in Ireland, and naturally
brings with him the strong rugged
excellence of tne people of that mo-
toric and wonderful island. He is
thoroughly educated and Elder R'ley
spent an exceedingly pleasant after-
noon with him, finding that the groom
was really classical, being educated
in Greek, Latin, German and English,
having also a familiarity with all
history and other learning.
The bride was raided in Kansas, is
well educated, and is a cultured
American lady rn the full meaning of
the word, She is a sister of Mrs.
Waters, at whose house t he ceremony
was performed, and a daughter of ,
Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Vincent formerly
of Kansas.
A number of friends and relatives
were in attendance, and the young
couple were given a hearty welcome
on entering the matrimonial barge.
May peace, happiness and prosperity
always attend them, and may they
in this life sow the seed of which the
harV'-st -hall be reaped in eternity.

The Cyclone Jr.
The Cyclone General Mercantile
Company of Guthrie have leased
the Cogdal store room on second
street apposite the land office and
about July first will open their doors
with a large and well selected stock
of dry goods, clothing, boots, shoes,
and a general department store.
The store will be known as the Cy-
clone Jr." and will be under the
management of F. D. Curtis who
bears the reputation of being one of
the best salesmen in the territory.
Mr. Curtis has purchased ground
and will build himself a comfortable
home in the near future. Thus Enid
spreads, waves, surges, roars and
builds up gradually as a better
wheat crop comes in every year.
Harvesting has begun in earnest
and harvest hands are in great de-
mand. Wages ar ■ pretty good this
year too.
Home grown garden stuff and ber-
ries are on the market in abundance
now. and they are as fine as grow
any where.
Judge Charley Preger lias just re-
ceived a car load of extension tables
which can be extended all over a
a town lot.
Everybody is enthusiastic over the
coming Fourth of July celebration.
In the language of the small boy
'•she will be a hun."
prank Jacobs, whose skull was
crushed by the kicking of a horse, is
getting along finely and his physic-
ians think he will -ecover.
Ed vVeatherly is advertising to
prove up on his claim; he thinks of
putting the entire 160 out in a new
varU.lv of shoe pegs which grow lust
like oats.
The marriage epidemic that has
been raging in our city for a year
is not near over, it seems. There
are three more weddings to happen
before watermelon time.
L'he new residence of Mr. W. S.
Kirk on North Second street,
which was deroofed by the storm
last Sunday has been repaired and
will soon be ready for occupancy.
Mr and Mrs. Harry Tedrow of
Medicine Lodge. Kansas, are in the
eitv visiting with Mrs. Tedrow's par-
ents Mr. and Mrs. John Dollar. They
drove across tT*: country and report
having a pleasant trip.
•'Let me kiss your Dewey lips,"
urged the youth in a Jonesville par-

Then a hopeless youngster organized
himself into a flying squadron and
m; de a fleet disappearance.

Hardluck No More.
The mall of Sunday morning
brought very good news to Charles
H. Parker of this city. Sometime
ago Charley's grandmother died
leaving him her entire e6tate he be-
ing her only living heir. The letter
received Sunday informed P^er
Itnat his grandmother's estate had
been appraised at $15,000. Hardluck,
Charley's middle name, must now be
dropped as he has reached ar era ot
good luck. This news makes Parker
a good catch for the girls, but we
hear that he has been caught.
GOT WHA'
The bond grabbers got all they
wanted of congress. They have
long since learned that If they get
what they want they must ask for
much more than they expect, then
the real amount will come by com-
promise. They opposed the Spanish ,
war vigorously, fearing it would un-
settle stock values and cause them j
loss on their holdings.
No sooner did they discover war to
be inevitable than they commenced
laying plans for plunder. A bill
providing for the issue of #500,000,000
in Interest bearing bonds was put
forward in the house and promptly
passed; it was intercepted in the sen-
ate and under the guise of a com-
promise, which was necessn.rj to fool
the people, the amount of the bonds,
to be issued was reduced to $1100,000-
100. A few speculators will make
several millions out of the placing
of the loan, the interest on
the bonds amounting to $9,000,000,
annually, will be wrung from the
people In excessive taxation, and the
bonds will be used as a basis for
National banks to issue currency
upon, which will be loaned out to
the people at the highest per cent
that can be obtained.
Verily there are many ways in this
world without hard work—live off the I
labors of othersjaud be rated as finan-
ciers, business men, etc. The partv
that makes it possible for these fel-
lows to thrive is the republican par-
ty. And why should not the republi-
can party be generous to them? Have
they not divided up their spoils in cre-
ating twenty million campaign fund
with which to pay for oratorical tal-
ent, hire brass bands and circulate
25-cent piratical newspapers—ora
tors and newspapers, both of whom
have convicted themselves of venali
ty by their self reversals on the para-
1 mount questions of the day. This
sort of thing will continue just so
long as the American people contir-
ue to allow themselves to be duped.—

Summer Blossoms.
Mr. John M. Rathtnan of Blair
Nebraska and Miss Emma Fairgrieve
of this city were joined in marriage
bv Probate .Tud^e Anderson Monday
afternoon June 20. The bride is^ the
accomplished daughter of Dr. Fair-
grieve and the groom is a successful
young business man of his home
town. The happy couple will tarry
with the brides parents, then go to
their future home in Nebraska.
- NEVER-COME BACK.
• it is quite evident that the Perr\
Enterprise is not a Barnsey sheet.
Hear it warble:
- "Now that Gov. Barnes has suc-
ceeded in getting a battalHon allot-
ed to our territory under the second
call for troops he will have an excel-
lent opportunity to reward several of
his friends and .supporters who have
heretofore been left out in the cold.
It would not be a bad idea for him to
follow the example of Governor Lee-
dy of Kansas, and transfer some who
now hold civil positions under him to
the military. They could eas.ly be
spared bv our people and if they were
so fortunate as to "never come back
it would be a gain to the territory.

Ex Senator John J. Ingalls, of Kan
sas, whose fame as a brilliant writer,
a man of remarkable scholarship and
literary attainments, is even greater
than that of the distinguished sena-
tor, announces a new book on the sub-
ject of the American-Spanish-Cuban
War. It is entitled "America's War
for Humanity in Picture and Story."
It is published by the-N. D. Thompson
Publishing Co., of St. Louis Mo., and
is an exhaustive discussion of the
causes of the war. and an equally ex-
haustive history of its incidents, and
a b illiant analysis of the famous
characters conducting it. It prom-
ises to be the one great and popular
work called forth by this wonder-
fully interesting national episode.
Whatever Senator Ingalls touches
be adorns: and this book shines and
sparkles in the light of his genius.
The present work is worthy of his
genius, and will be .a monument' to
his fame. The subject now so en-
grosses the popular trind as to fore-
cast for this book a sale that will be
universal. It will be sold by sub-
scription only, and the canvassing
samples are now ready for agents.
We advertise it in another column.
A GOLDEN HARVEST.
Oklahoma is now in the midst of
the greatest wheat harvest in her
history. The per cent, of the acre-
age is immense and the yielc. won
derful. No country on earth of the
same area can excel the ''New
Southland" in the yield of wheat.
This one crop alone will place a
least $35,000 in the pocket of the
farmers of Oklahoma. And then
just think of the corn and cotton
that is so promising. Now. if our
farmers will only "keep their heads
and be stampeded into selling on a
fallin" fictitious market they wi
reap a rich reward. Wheat may
again reach the dollar mark before
many moons.—Ex.
The Wave fias just received a full
toned cut of Uncle Rastus, Enids
great colored philosopher which ap-
pears for the first time tomorrow.
The wealthy people who go to the
pea shore to spend the hot season
will take to the interior this year
To much war on the sea shore.
TO TRUE.
The statistical returns made b>
the assessors are worthless. In Lo-
gan county their returns show the
county to contain 1,000,000 acres,
whereas, the county contains less
than 450,000. In Lincoln county the
returns show that 3* million apple
trees are growing in the county, an
average of forty acres to every cul-
tivated farm in the county .-Times

There are a whole lot of real hon-
est republicans who are making a
mistake that will soon oe out of their
power to retract or retrace their
steps. They think their party is
their country and they both are one
and the same thing. With a pluto-
r.rat oi millionaire who gets the
benefit of the republican party s
class legislation the republican
party is hi® country.

himself only these days. He posi-
tively refuses to let go of the cur -
rent of his mind on Callahan, Kea-

difference what the opinion of Wisby
is.
