Obituary.
Dr. Joseph Weigh the well known
German physician, died at his real
dence in Kenwood Monday morning,
April JO, 1900 at 4 o'clock, aged about
j')3 years. He died from a couipiica-
tion of diseases resulting from a hard
cold settling on hie lungs about two
months ago; the disease is known as
the paralysis of iarynlx and eppOli-
tis.
The deceased leaves a wife ;.nd
three young daughteis, aged from
ten to live years, in not the best of
circumstances, yet he owned some
property and a life insurance of
$2,000 in the mutual insurance fund
of the Catholic Knights of America.
Everything known in the practice of
medicine was applied lor the reiief of
Dr. Weigl, but without avail. He was
attended by Doctors Champion, Mc-
Kenzie, Mayberry, and Dr. Dorsey, of
Wichita. Dr. Weigl was a devout
member of the Catholic church and
a good citizen well respected by all.
The floral tributes to the bier of
the deceased will be a cross trimmed
in beautiful flowers from the mem-
bers of the Catholic church and a
floral harp from the Central Medical
Association. The funeral will occur
from the late home of the deceased
Wednesday, May 2, at 9 a, m.
Thus ive must all pass away. Peace
to the soul and ashes of a valuable
and useful citizen.
No Damages.
The suit for damages for the swiped
affections of a truent husband, where-
in Mrs. Mosier was plaintiff and Mrs.
Hewitt defendent, was ended Satur-
day evening. The jury returned a
verdict in favor of the defendent, be
l'.eving that the affections of Mr. Mc-
sier was not worth $1,000 or any other
amount. Scarcely any jury on earth
has ever brought in a verdict of
guilty in such cases. Men always
stand together in trying times.
District Court.
The adjourned session of the Dis-
trict court convened Mon morning
with Judge McAtee on the bench.
Both grand and petit jurors are on
hand and the docket is crowded with
business. J^idge McAtee was sworn
in as associate justice of the supreme
court at Guthrie, Friday last. He
had been sworn in at Washington
but the organic act required that he
be sworn iu again.
Dr. Cooper, of Kansas City,
preached at the Methodist church
Snnday morning and evening. He is
an eloquent speaker and sent his au-
dience off on a spiritual excursion to
religious mountain heights. He also
addressed the High School Monday
and the young ladies are still breath-
ing the pure ethereal into which he
plunged them.
The Anti-Gossipping Club should
organize and form a crusade against
the young and old bachelors of the
city. Then if the Anti-Bachelor
club should turn loose some of its
heavy artillerythe dear maidens would
not appear so lonely in church Sunday
evenings.
High School Notes.
Chapel exercises were conducted
Monday morning by Dr. Thos. Cooper
of Kansas City, who gave us a very
interesting talk on "Education."
Rev. Porter, also Prof. Hartter of
Carrier Ac-demy, spoke to the school
a few moment's concerning the new
college, which we hope to have locat-
ed in our city. Dr. Cooper resides in
Kansas City but has been visiting
both territories. He is an excellent
speaker and his interesting talk to
the pupils, will be of great benefit to
them.
Among our visitors of the past
week were Rev. Walter,, Allen lurk
and J. B. Blazer of Wichita, who is
agent for the American Book Com-
pany. anJ Elzie Crosslin.
The School Board recently bought
between $4o and $50 worth of new
library books of the Capital Publish,
ing Co., which are to be used by the
schools.
The total school enrollment this
year was 982. t
At the recent County Teachers'
meeting Mrs. Parks and Supt. Locke
of the city teachers were on pro-
gram.
The present attendance of the
high school is about 45.
The professors of the Garfield
County Institute, which is to be held
from July 23rd to Aug. 18, are Ferret,
Theis and Locke.
The graduates of the late county
pupils' examination will have a grad-
uating program sometime during the
Institute.
Out of the 102 persons wno took
the recent county examinate, 34 took
it at Enid, out of which 27 were our
pupils. The average to pass was 85
and an average of 65 had to be made
in each branch. The average was
high and the papers were very strict-
ly marked. Ten in the county passed,
of which two were pupils of our
eignth grade,—Roy Sheldon and Nar.-
nie Williams. The papers of the ten
who passed, and ten others, have
been sent to the Territorial Board of
Guthrie, for iinal correction. Of the
four prizes Waukomis won lirat and
second, Kremlin third, and Enid
fourth.
George Renshaw, one of our gradu-
ates thU year, has completed more
than the year's work in Caesar, also
one Dook in Cicero and is now in the
second.
Prof. Boyd, of Norman University,
and Prof. Anient, of Alva, have
promised to make" a talk to the pupils
some time before school closes.
The superintendent has been hav-
ing teachers' meetings eyery two
weeks, so as to close up work of the
year.
The final examinations of the schools
will occur May 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18.
All desiring a grade must be present;
those not taking the examination
must do so upon entering school in

Three more weeks of school.
Nadia Hassler,
Reporter
Married.
Mr. Henry Clay Fleener and Miss
Addie Hembree, were married at the
Central hotel in this city Monday by
Rev. Denham, of the Baptist church.
They will make their future [home in
Enid.
The school notes of Miss Nadia
Hassler, as reported in this issue of
the Wave are the most interesting,
as well as newsy we have noticed
during this school term. True merit
should always be noticed.
The present term ot the district
court will adjourn Saturday, May 1-.
Rather a short term for the business
on hand before the court, but we pre-
sume the June term of the Supreme
court will set another term for this
court late in the summer.

Beware of Ointment for Catarrh

as mercury will surely destroy the
sen?<? of smell and completely de-
range the whole system when enter-
ing it through the mucous surfaces.
Such articles should never be used
except on prescriptions from repu-
table physicians, as the damage they
will do is ten-fold to the goods you
can possibly derive from them.
Hall's Catairh Cure, manufactured
by F. J, Cheney & Co., Toledo, O.,
contains no mercury, and is taken

Accident.
Mr. Robert Brenton, a carpenter
employed on the Ross residence now
building in Weatherly, met with a
terrible accident this Tuesday after
noon. It seems that himself and son
were working on a scafford about
eight feet from the ground, when the
same gave way. Mr. Brenton weighs
about 215 pounds and he struck the
ground in such a way as to create a
compound fracture of the left leg
the splinters of the fracture protrud
ed from the leg when the unfortunate
man was picked up and carried to the
Truitt Lodging house. It Is remark-
able that such a fracture could occur
from falling such a short distance.
Mr. Brenton was resting easy at last
report.
Brick Bank Building.
The McCristy lot, upon which
located Bennett's grocery store, was
purchased by O. J. Fleming, of the
Bank of Enid Tuesday; consideration
$3,200. Mr. Fleming informs us that
he expects tQ erect a handsome brick
building for the use of his bank in the
near future. The Bank of Enid is
the oldest bank in the city, is famed
for its reliability, and the people of
Enid will welcome the time when It
occupies its new brick structure.

I Description of Ito Dire Work
Hods: Kong Harbor.
I had been anxious to see a tj phoon.
tvjrltes the author of Ten Years in Indo-
Chirva and China and I had my wish
gratified in Hong Kong more thai
Once. The strength of the wind
At such times is greater than 1
tiould have thought possible. It
whirls ships helplessly adrift from th
firmest moorings, and with nuddea
blast takes away the corners of housel
juid sends projecting eraudas ilytag
across the street.
During the height of tne gale j
►esidents for the most part shut tbem- j
selves closely In their houses, carefully
securing their doors and windows, and
bo remain with constant apprehension
and dread, lest tho dwelling should be
swept away and themselves be en
tombed in tho rains.
Once, while the storm was at its
worst, I ventured 3<rw a to tbe IVaya
to see the crowd of Chinese boats thai
had been blown Inshore and piled up
In a mass of wreck just below the city.
The sky was of dark leaden color and
*he wind caught up the crested waves
nd sent them In long, white streakrt
of vapor across the scene, through
which the dismantled ships were dimly
ijescried drifting from their moorings.
The heavy, stone-iiced wall of th«
Pray a had given way, and the great
granite blocks had been washed in upoa
t^e road. Jjalf-blinded by the waves
e.s they leapt over road and dashed la
sagry foam against the houses, and
buffeted by tho wind, I made slow
headway to the east end of the settl®
ment, where a number of foreigner®
wcire attempting to rescue two women
from a small Chinese boat.
We had to cling to tho lamp-post*
&nd stanchions, aivl seek shelter against
Jho doorways and walls. Advantage
was taken of a slight lull in the storm

flra^ged tv the pier, but the first vva«

touched the water, while the second
met a like fate and its gallar.t crew
were pitched out into tho sea.
In short, every effort proved abo^
live, and as darkness set in ths unhap-
py women and their boat weie relu*>
lastly abandoned to their fate.
Next morning the whole length cd
