a song.
Come when the nightinggale song
Is wooing its first love, the rose,
His notes like my love is tender and
strong
And deep in my heart it glows.
Come when the glistening dew
Hangs like pearls on leaf or spray,
'or to me all loveliness is drew
From your beauty and soul lit way.
Come by the mossy glade,
Through clover starred meadow by
the stile,
Where we watched the sunlight fade
From the cloudlit saphire isles.
There in that rose embowered vale,
There the air is fresh and sweet,
There the silvery moonbeams have
, woven a vale
That is spread for thy light feet.
There's where the deep rooted pines
Are crowned in bright turrets of air,
While there sad, sweet voices chime
With a wind harp singing there.
Come and the night flowers shall rise
To welcome their beautiful queen;
Nay turn not away your sweet eyes,
They're the loveliest ever seen.
I care not for the light of day;
It will do for the rushing throng; i
For me in the moon's rays
Is love, poetry, muric and song.
Then come when the silvery beams
Are pouring like crystal to the vine
laced dell,
And when floating on that mystic
stream
The old, old story I will tell.
—Elizabeth Scott Chritten.

Senator Havens the transient editor
of the West Broadway Boiler Plate
Eagle, still continues to write those
heavy political editorials in times of
peace. Yesterday he published one
on the rights and privileges of the
down-trodden black man in the south.
It reads like an old fashioned bloody
shirt republican effusion, but it was
too cold-blooded to do any good, be-
cause it was a talk in the interest of
the republican party and showed up
the old g. o. p. idea that the negro is
now the property of the republican
party instead of the southern plant-
ers. If the niggers were sure thing
democrats the senator would not have
written such an article; he would have
written an editorial advocating an
educational qualification for voters in
the south land. The editor of the
Eagle formed his political ideas forty
years ago, hence, they are very much
out of date.

balloon ascension to the New Yoik
World correspondent as follows:
"Our balloon, which is seven times
the ordinary alie, was charged wi'h
compressed hydrogen. The ascension
at first was rapid. We reached a height
of a mile and a quarter in ten minutes,
and a little over three miles in forty-fi\ •
minutes.
"At 6.4 miles, the heighest altitude
ever attained, we became unconscious.
First there was a faint pressure in our
ears, then a humming, then insensibility,
but no pain. .
"From three milea we discharged ba.-
last. There was scarcely any wind and
the view of the towns, winding rivers
pad mountains below was Indescribably
grand and beautiful.
"Up nearly two thirds of a mile we
could distinguish the cries of men and
geese. The rumbling of a railway train
was audible at about three and three-
quarter miles.
"Freezing began at not quite a mile
and a half. At a little over three miUn
we put on fur wraps and used the newly
invented thermaphore to keep off th«
i cold. ,
"At five miles and a half we began to
' leel sleepy, but healthy, assisted by
breathing bottled oxygen.
"Just as he was fainting Dr. Berscli
had the presence of mind and just suff'
cient strength to pull the valve cord, so
the balloon forthwith began to descend
We were a little over three miles high
•when consciousness returned.
•The lowest temperature recorded was
40 degrees (Fahrenheit) below zero.
"We are now quite well again, bn
think we have reached the greatest
height attainable by man." _

A rare case comes from Otawa,
Iowa. A young man who was to mar-
ry a young lady of that town died four
days before the date of *he marriage.
The girl sued the administrator of
his estate for $0,000 damages, claiming
that she had been jilted and suffered
losses to that amount. The court
gave a verdict in her favor, claiming
that the defendant had failed to com-
ply with his promise and therefore
liable to the penalty asked for. The
moral of this is that young men who
have money had better marry before
they die.
Not in ten years has New York state
been visited with such a heavy fall of
snow as it has had recently. In the
western part of the state snow is
twelve feet deep on a level, and in
many places higher than the tops of
the railroad cars. Many freight
trains have been temporarily snowed
in.
This is a Blaine county and Skin-
fisher administration. Governor Fer-
guson is bound to have harmony in
the party even if he is compelled to
appoint every man in Kingfisher to
some office or other, but he made

We understand that Joe Sproat will
be continued as deputy clerk of the
district court. The Wave is pleased
to note this as Joe is a painstaking
clerk and one of the best young men
in the city.
It is reported that the St. Louis
■gentleman who owns lot 22 block 11,
the corner of Broadway and 12th
street, just west of the Wave office
is preparing to erect a two-story
brick block 25x150, the full size of
the lot. Thus docs the city spread
in all directions.
Senator Hick Messall brought the
plans for the big Anheuser-Busch
hlock home with him, also plans for
the two other brick blocks, the com-
pany will build here this coining sum-

The old Paper Mill Company par-
tially organized two years ago
will probably organize permanently
early in the spring and erect a paper
mill in this city to manufacture the
coarse quality of straw wrapping
paper and board. This establishment
will provide a market for straw at
the rate of $2.50 or $3.00 per ton, this
giving our farmers a market for their
surplus straw.
A creamery is talked of in conjec-

A STARTLING MESSAGE.
An
Unknown Young Lady Threatens
Suicide in the City Reservoir
—Guess it Was n
Bluff.
Pat Fagan picked up a letter in
front of his store yesterday morning.
It was addressed, "To Whom it May
Concern." Here is the contents of
the letter:
'My Dear: -You go to the water-
works reservoir and you will find mj
body. Now darliug you know I am
despondent and as you are some one
else's I have nothing to live for, and
Intend to relieve myself of worldly
troubles. 1 hope you will meet me
in heaven. Yours forever,
N. W. A."
Sheriff Porter rushed down to the
reservoir and became quite sweaty
fishing around the I o'.tom with a pole,
but he didn't find a girl.
Tom Doyle says that Dennis Flynn
informed him in Washington that he
(Dennis) {confidently expected to be
the republican candidate for delegate
to congress this fall. Why, of course,
of course—does any one suppose Den-
nis is going to give up his congression-
al graft on account of that tired feel-
ing? Not much. After the Novem
ber election Dennis will not only be
tired, but retired.
The republicans are very much dis-
pleased with Governor Ferguson's
action in removing E. E. Brown of
Oklahoma City from the position of
territorial oil inspector to make
place for his friend John Dillon of
Geary. Ferguson as a harmonizer
promises to be a huge success.—El
Ueno Democrat.
The merchants of Stillwater are
having a legal as well as a business
war. A bankrupt stock opened up in
the town and another firm had an or-
dinance passed requiring them to pay
a license of $15 a day for selling bank-
rupt stocks! The matter was tested
in the courts and the ordinance was
declared void, but the end is not yet.
Ex-Governor Andrew Jackson Seay
has left Washington and started for
home on a lope. He will tell what he
thinks about the statehood situation
just as soon as he gets into the black
jacks wkere he can talk to himself
without being overheayd.

A large force of civil engineers are
now engaged in surveying the Arkan-

Pawnee, Perry and Enid put up $1,000
each to make the survey.

Teachers' Examinations.
The Territorial Board of Education
held a short meeting in the ollice of
the Territorial Auditor at Guthrie
yesterday. Among the things which
came up was the county examination
question. It was decided to hold the
examinations for county diplomas on
the last Thursday and Friday of April
and that one-half of the examination
could be taken this year and the last
half at the same time next year.
