Almighty tine dashing rain hit Gar-
field county today. Now watch the

The Hon. James B. Cullison, of this
city, is aspiring for a seat as associ-
ate justice of the supreme court of
Oklahoma Territory, S. S.
Mr. Fd Frantz, the promoter of the
O. C. & S. E. Railroad left for Mar-
shall this afternoon to confer with
' the people of that city in the build-
ing of the southeastern line.
The Wave family feel sad today,
having just heard of the sudden death
of a loved fiye-year old niecjp Myrtle
Marie Taylor, at her home fif Sharon
Pa., She was the pet girl baby of
the flock.
Owing to a sudden rush on the lim-
ited space of our little daily the rail
road subscription list was laid aside
today. Seventeen hundred and fif-
teen dollars were subscribed last
night. The list will appear tomor-
row.
The governor is going to visit the
sanitarium next week. What good
will that doy Ferg don't know
much about a sanitarium as he does
about a corn sheller or a Blaine coun-
ty cider press.
John Schribar Insane.
Will Enforce Penalty.
Senator Marium, of Woodward, was
in the city yesterday. He served one
term in the territorial council in
1895 as a democrat, but he has not
been thoroughly in line with his party
since 1896; he has always been a dem-
ocrat of the Grover Cleveland species.
The statement of the new Garfield
Exchange Bank shows that its over-
drafts, "secured and unsecured," are
fifty cents. This shows that the cus-
tomers of the new bank cannot over-
draw more than a half dollar whether
it is secured or unsecured.
It is all well enough for a party
paper to line up with its party in local
issues and it is also well ensugh for
John Schribar, the young German
i'rom McKinley township, who is ac-
cused of robbing the postotlice at Car-
rier, was adjudged insane by the jury
yesterday. He was taken to Guthrie
and from there will probably be con-
veyed to the government asylum at
Washington..
Schribar made a full confession to
Sheriff Porter, giving the details of
how he and another young man
planned to rob the safe; or "box
he calls it. He held the team while
the other man went into the office.
Schribar concluded that his accom-
plice was too slow, so went in himself
and carried out the safe. They drove
several miles from Coldwater and
dumped the safe into a buffalo wal-
low.
Schribar came to town a few days
ago, heavily armed, and made so
many threats that Sheriff Porter took
him into custoday, after searching
him and finding a 45-calibre revolver
and a large knife on him.—Enid
Eagle.
The Wave is requested by the
father of the young man, mentioned
above, to state that the article quot
ed above is a tissue of falsehood from
beginning to end, except that the
boy is violently insane and has been
so adjudged and will be taken care of
The young Mr. Schribar has been
hounded and persecuted until his mind
gave way. A man who has lost his
mind might acknowledge to killing
somebody who still lives, or any old
thing. The sayings or utterings of a
man judged insane should not be pub-
lished as facts. Lunacy knows no
bounds in utterance.
E. E. Cowdrick, territorial health
superintendent, with headquarters in
this city, has sent the following no-
tice to superintendents of county
boards of health:
"Owing to some complaints coming
to this office of seeming laxness on
the part of some of the physicians in
the territory in reporting to you the
existence of contagious and infecti-
ous diseases, according to law. I will
ask you to use your authority as sup'
erintendent of your county board of
health in punishing all doctors accord
ing to offense the law makes this lieg
lect. A mo al quarantine does not
keep people from being exposed to
:ontagious diseases, and in all cases
the proper flags and cards must be
placed on houses where contagious
diseases are found to exist. Now
doctor, this is a mandate from the
territorial board of health, and I shall
hold you personally responsible for
the carrying out of the same."
Thus the scarecrow board of health
pushef out stuff to scare people away
from the territory, Such circulars,
under the circumstances, are laugha-
ble to the denizens of Oklahoma.
These circulars, sent broadcast
through the land and published in all
the eastern papers, read exceedingly
funny to the undertakers whose busi-
ness is very dull and to the doctors
who complain of having very little to
do. There has not been a death re-
ported in Garfield county this week
and we have a population of 28,000.
Yet these board of health circulars
would indicate to an eastern man
that Oklahoma is polluted with dis-
ease, when the records show that it
is one of the healthiest countries in
the world.

Resolutions.
Cowardly Yandelism.
The Wave has been informed and
really shown, in some instances, that
some party, or parties, are in the
habit of writing anonymous letters
to various married ladies of the city,
accusing their husbands of various
misdemeanors during the dark hours
of the night time. These letters are
not signed by anyone, hence, are
worthless in the way of evidence.
Whereas, the great commander of
the Universe has invaded our locality
and taken from us our much beloved
friend and teacher, Miss Alice Low-
man, severed from her the brittle
thread of life. Thus has He broken
another link to the chain of unity
that extends beyond the pass of the
When Pete and Hop cut Clouty
from their exchange list they must
think the old thing has fallen from
grace.
The Hon. Bob Hay is running for
mayor of Lawton. This indicates
that Bob has smoothered his congres
sional asperations.
Clouty seems to have had a worse
dose of the Isenberg rabies this week
than ever. Poor old fellow! Wonder
if he ever will recover?
Mr. Isaac Bernstein, of Paris, Tex.,
father of Louis Bernstein, of the south
side Enid Liquor house, is in the city
visiting with his son.
H. E. Diehl and Hub Crawford are
both running for councilmen on^ the
democratic ticket at Lawton. There
is a vast difference in the size of the
two candidates, but Hub's voice
larger than Diehl's.
The eastern papers persist in say
ing that the Oklahoma wheat crop is
ruined. The same papers will be
compelled to report a three million
bushel crop next June. The east is
inclined to turn up its nose at Okla-
homa entirely too much.
"So you advise me not to sue, ' said
the client.
"I do," said the lawyer.
"Well," returned the disappointed
client, "it seems strange that when
a man pays for advice he can't get
what he wants."
Jay Y. Callahan told the editor of
the Kingfisher Times to tell the peo-
ple that he was not a candidate for
delegate to congress. No one has
had the least suspicion that Callahan
would be a candidate, or could be if
he would. Cally is really a humorist
in politics;
When the people of Enid fail to

In many essentials all flesh Is much alike. A
remedy that will euro ali manner of rains,
sprains, strains, bums, scalds, cuts, bruises,
chaps, scratches, galls, chafes, sores, lameness,

the successful democratic candidates
failed to line up with their party
paper, but instead throwed their per-
quisites into the republican paper
that opposed their election. Don't
talk to the Wave about lining up.
The city council of Blackwell have
passed an ordinance requiring the
planting of shade trees in the resi-
dent portion of the city, in fact mak-
ing it compulsery upon the part of
the property owners. Here in Enid the
city council allows the garbage men
to dump any kind of old stuff out in
the residence portions of the city.
They never think of beautifying the
city in the way of-encouraging tree
planting.
It is about time for the adminis-
tration to give the people of this
city some relief in the way of bet-
ter post office accomodations. Of
course we have been informed for
the last year, or iiirtre, that something
would soon be done, but there is no
evidence of immediate relief. The
present post office i < a disgrace to the
city and a bore to both the post
master and the pe -pie. There is no
excuse for the delay in this matter.
The Wave manage mentpurchashed
six Kenwood lots yesterday at an
outlay of $550. We didnt buy the
lots because .ve wanted them, but
because we were co: ipleled to pro-
tect our home from the ravishments
V of a part of the Eni t city surface
dranage system. The city couccil
authorized the closing off a slough
that is a raging creek when it rains.
In order to save our home from dam-
age, we will probably be competed to
expend about $800.
Last Sunday evening a gay coon of
this city was overcome with numer
ous drinks of "red eye." Six other
coons tried to lead him home, all of
which createa a whole lot of what is
called disturbing the peace and quiet
of the city. The city officers pulled
four of the niggers and hauled them
into court. Only one was f°un^
guilty and he Is now "rock piling"
out his fine. Enid is not a negro
town, hence, the negroes must be-
have themselves here the same as a
white man, or "cakewalk" out of
town.
Marshall Declines the Honor.
Ex-Mayor Sam R. Marshall has in-
structed the Wave to state that his
name was placed in nomination for
councilman of the first ward without
his knowledge or censent, or the con-
sent of any other nation on earth.
Therefore, Mr. Marshall declines to
accept the honor thrust upon him.
He is not a candidate for councilman.
No man can truthfully doubt the
cincere democracy of the spirit
abiding here, but when a lot of ward
democratic politicians, who labor
without a salary for the glory they
may have found in it, and, who used
this paper to secure their election
and then deliberately turn the little
bit of printing in their fift over to a
republican paper which opposed their
ellection; it ssems to the Wave that
the city council is not a democratic
body. The Wave can sustain its
democracy, but how about the demo-
cracy of the majority of the city
councilV
The commercial club has estab-
lished down town headquarters for
the railroad committee, in the room
lately occupied by Cornelius & Parks.
The headquarters are open day and
night. Last night the club held an.
other rousing meeting and many new
subscriptions to the railroad fund was
taken. The band was out discoursing
sweet music while the good work for
Enid continued. Don't forget the
mass meeting at the opera house to-
morrow night.

Resolved, That we extend our heart-
I felt sympathy to the near friends and

Often in our hearts we wonder
Who will be the next to go,
While the angels stoop to whisper,
God has called her, she must go.
While our hearts are torn and bleed-
ing,
O'er all the earth there's cast a
gloom,
Hark! I hear the Savior saying,
I have victory o'er the grave.
Oh, what joy and consolation
Their parting words supply:

The Savior says shall never die.

The mother of a President of the
United States is alwasy an object of
special interest and regard on the
part of the people. But in all that
has been written about Mr. Roose-
velt since he became Chief Executive
last September there has been little
or no mention of his mother. On
this account, and because she was a
remarkably fine and lovely woman,
much interest attaches to an article
on "The President's Mother" which
will appear in The Ladies' Home
Journal in the near future. It will
be the first story of her life yet told,
and will be one of a series of articles,
the first of which is published in the
current number of The Journal, on
the president and his family. Miss
Alice Roosevelt is the subject of this.
Next month "The Outdoor President"
will be told of, and later the Presi
dent's wife and children will be por-
trayed.
All Waul Matrimony.
The "hired girl" problem in Pond
Creek is said to be serious. Girls are
scarce and many a married woman
is compelled todo housework when she
would much prefer club work—for be
it known Pond Creek is nothing if
not literary. One young husband in-
forms us that .ie can not procure a
servant for love or money although
he says a man could hustle around
and get a wife in twenty minutes.

Frank Ellis, the brutal Guthrie
policeman, who deliberately killed
poor fellow without even a reasonable
excuse has been found guitly of mur-
der the first degree and his punish-
ment set at imprisonment for lire,
by the jury, according to the laws of
Oklahoma.
Anyone showing the disposition
Ellis did should be given the death
penalty.
Yesterday W. O. Cromwell et al,
put up an option of $500 on the pur-
chase of the Andy Gillespie tract
joining the city on tbe northwest.
The tract consists of 80 acres and in
clues the handsome Gillespie resi-
dence. The consideration is $10,000
and the tractoption closes attio'clock
this evening. We presume the par-
ties will consummate the trade. 'I he
buying of this tract means much for
Enid. It is presumed that the 1< risco
shops and round house will be located
on this land, as well as the depot of
the Oklahoma Central A S. E. R. R-
Mr. Gillespie paid $2,000 for this land
three years ago. .

It was 2 a. m. and the man sat on
his own doorstep with his head in his
hands. Presently a policeman came
leisurely by.
"Hey, you," he said to the sitter,
what are you doing there':"'
"Thinking," replied the man thick-
ly, but not ai bad as it might have
been. _
This is no time for thinking," said
the guardian. "You go In the house
If you live here."
I've got to think awhile first," the
man insisted.
What the dickens you got to think
about?"
"Well," explained the main,looking
wearily up at the officer standing
over him now, "I've got to think
whether I'd better go in and let my
wife murder me, or just sit here and
freeze to death. The average would
be the same, but I'd like to do it the
way that would please her best.
See?"
The policeman saw, and, much
against the kindly disposed man's pro-
test, he called the lady up and sub-
mitted the question to her. She took
the man in.

Charles Hunter, late of Enid, but
now promoter of the prosperous and
thriving little city of Stout in Wich-
ita county, was in town today the
guest of Hon. Samuel L. Humphery.
Charley says his town is destined to
