PasstW Offering Co-o,pera-
ti m .With the Anti-Sa-
loon League.
The ereoutive committee of the
OklahoinaEiiquor Dealers' Protective
Association met in Guthrie laet week.
Major Rick Messall, of this city, be-
ing a member or the tame, was pres-
ent and he offered the following pre-
amble aoc! resolution*; which were
passed ueacimously. ft seems to the
Wave that if the liquor dealiers will
live up tc the expressions of these
resolutions ■much good will be accom
plished in tii:e handling of the liquor
traffic in the future. Here are the
resolutions::
"Whereas, Under ac act .of the
legislature of the territory of Okla-
homa, being 'An act to reguiate the
traffic in intoxicating iiquors,' and
known in the statutes of the terri-
tory as chapter 47, with the amend
ments hereto, the barter and sale of
'intoxicating iliguors, under certain
■restrictions Is duly authorized; and
as there is nw in said territory an
-organization known as 'The Oklahoma
Liquor Dealer*?' Protective associa-
tion,' haying tar its purpose and ob-
ject the better regulation of such
traiflic in said territory, and of secur
ing a higher and better standard in
the management of such business,
and <to secure fL fall compliance with
the law on the part of the wholesale
and resail liquor dealers, regulating
the sale of intoxicating liquors in
such territory; and
"Whereas, There is being organ-
ized what is known as the 'Anti-
Saloon League' of the territory,
whose object and purposes are not
more definitely expressed than in the
title thereof, which organization,
however, in many places, is being led
and controlled by ambitious men, and
politicians, arid in many instances by
individuals seeking notoriety; now
therefore be it
"Resolved, by said association,
That it is the sense of this meeting
that as the liquor business is a recog-
nized legal business under the laws of
said territory, that if it is the intent
and piurpose of said Anti-Saloon
League to affect the purposes for
which this association is organized
and to give a higher and healthier
tone to the management and control
of such traffic, and to secure a full
compliance with the terms and con-
ditions imposed by law upon those
engaged in such business, then and in
that case, this association extends to
such league its hearty endorsement
and support, and invites its coopera-
tion to such end; and
"Whereas, This association is non
partisan in politics and opposed to
any action on the part of its mem
bers to foist any person into power or
prominence, or tending in any way to
subvert such organization -to any
purpose foreign to its expressed ob-
ject; be it therefore
"Resolved, In case such Anti-Sa-
loon League shall have any motive or
object other than the purpose of this
organization, that we refuse our co.
operation and submit our cause and
purpose to the judgment of the busi-
ness men and citizens of the country,
believing that the will of the govern-
ing power should be obeyed, and that
in the judgment and conscience of
the masses rests the security of the
country, the enforcement and perpe-1
tuity of its laws, and the contentment,
happiness ani prosperity of its
people.''

Sent from Manila, Philip-

O. Shearer, of Colwater, Garfield

hospital at Panique. The body ar.
riv.od at the home of his parents last
Thursday morning and were interred
in the Carrier cemetery Friday,
March 23. The body came hermetic-
allyeealed., air tight: hence, the rela-

mitted to see the remains.
Tke personal affects of the boy
have been ordered shipped to his
father at this point. This is the
first Jeath of a Garfield county sol-
dier since the beginning of the war

Sunday School Entertainment.
The two Sunday school classes of
Mrs. Buitrey and Mrs, Fleming were
together entertained at the two
homes last Saturday afternoon from
two to five thirty.
Base ball, boxing and turning was
enjosed during the first hour, then
the boys were invited indoors and
each teacher instructed her class
the morrow's lesson. This was
followed by a game of biblical ques-
tions, in which the honors were
shared by Masters Charlie Sanders
and Bertram Byerley.
The boys were then filed up in true
soldier style and marched in twos
from Mrs. Fleming's to Mrs. Buttrey's
home where a bountiful supper
awaited them. After doing justice
to the same each boy was presented
with a button hole boquet and left
assuring his teacher of a pleasant
time. Those present were:

iams, who lives on the east hill, was

Obituary.
The two months old child of C. B,
Utsler died Sunday morning. The
funeral occurred today, Monday,
March 26.
Of course Ned Sisson, Goodluck
Parker and Coroner Banks are pre-
paring to get up the old time negro
buss line to and from the polls elec.

ting too smart to fool away his Enid
home in a city election on account of
Itis ancient love for Abraham Lin-
coln is not in this election, it is the
eplrit of the Rock Island railroad
itnd the devil.
Jake Louden, the popular architect
:tnd builder is chock full of work, In
fact, he is doing the principle part
of the contract work of the city.
Last Saturday he contracted for the
building of .1 $1,500 live roomed
cottage for Mrs. Ed Harlan on the
corner of North Independence avenue
and Pine streets.
Judge McAtee.
The republican press throughout
the territory is making considerable
noise over the reappointment of
Judge McAtee. Owing to the fact
that the Judge's views of the politi-
cal situation seems to be in line with
the administration the Wave cannot
see any just cause fot rebellion
among the republicans. However,
of course, the crowd who have
whooped it up for the g. o. p. for lo!
these many years and desired Mc-
Atee's place, are sore. They are not
so sore on the judge as they are on
being disappointed.
The administration has simply
shown its gratitude foi the influence
of the judge on his gold standard and
imperialistic views. The Wave has
always had confidence in the integ-
rity and conscientiousness of Judge
McAtee, hence, hails his reappoint-
ment as one well deserved.
Good Cotton Year.
Ira Hicks predicts a dry season for
the year 1900. The Wave does not
place much confidence in weather
indicates drouth, hence, if the sea
son is destined to be dry we would
advise the farmers to increase their
cotton acreage. Cotton does better
in the dry season than in seasons
wet as we have been having them
the last three years. The average
Kansas farmer knows little in regard
to raising cotton, but we hope he
not too old to learn.
Mrs. J. J. S, Hassler returned from
a visit' with her daughter in Wash-
ington, «D. C., Saturday night last.
She reports the Capitol quite lively
but weeks and weeks of wet weather
has made life unpleasant at the
capitol.
It is tough on a newspaper scribbler
when he leaves his pocket knife in
his Sunday pants and is compelled to
sharpen his pencil with his thumb
nail, but trouble will overtake a fel-
low all through life.
F. A. Tunnison, who travels for the
Mc.Cormick Reaper and Mower Co.,
on the east side, came in Saturday
evening to visit his family. Frank
expects to be transferred to the cen-
tral part of the territory soon.
The ladies of the Baptist church
planted trees around their beautiful
church building Friday, Jbut from
where we were sitting it looked to us
as if they made Dr. McKenzle and
Chas. O. Wood do all the work.
The Masonic Temple building is an
assured fact; the contract will be let
In a few days and the building will
be completed before the next St.
John's day rolls around.
