Rather a bad day for the ball fame,
Hot and dusty.
The Oklahoma City team arrived
in the city thin morning-.
The bright sun shines and intense
heat continues but there is a little
more gentle air stirring.
Judge Beauchamp will open court
in Cheyenne, Itoger Mills county, to-
morrow morning, Aug. 10th.
Mrs. Ed Harlan is in the city visit-
ing with her mother, Mrs. Stewart
of north Independence avenue.
The various wholesale houses of
the city will contribute liberally to
the expenses of the celebration.
The new postofflce boxes and other
lixtures have been shipped and will
be here in a day or two.
Wonder if the Enid weeds wouldn't
feel as good cut down as standing up.
Lets try and experiment on that.
Doctor Way has entirely recovered

The weekly Wave circulation will
lie increased in Garfield county by
500 sample copies Now is the time
to advertise.
T. J. Smith, of Bloomington, Ind.,
is visiting in the city with his uncle,
E. N. Hall. He is a law student in
the State University.
A farmer from near Ringwood was
in the city today looking for a run-
away daughter 17 years old. He had
not found her at noon today.
The Wave fears that this hot wind
will crack Avenon's hoofs again and
open up that horse controversy be-
tween Frank Kirk and Ed. Weath-
erly.
F. L. Dow,W. L. Hopkins and R. I.
Boyington have been appointed com-
missioners to appraise the value of
the right-of-way of the D. E. & G. Ry.
through the city.
We witness considerable mis-
management tonnected with the
Anniversary celebration already,
but we hope the celebration will be a
success all the same.
Will Miller, who has been employed
by Gillespie Bros., at Lawton, since
the opening of the new country, has
been transferred back to the Enid
house of the same firm.
CLIMATE AND CROP CONDITIONS.
Oklahoma City, Okla., August
18,1902.
Hot and dry weather prevailed over
the section during the week) the only
exception being scattered showers
over the Chickasaw and Choctaw na-
tions on the 12th.
The showers of the preceding week
placed the ground in good condition
and plowing progressed over nearly
all portions of the section.
Hay making continues with good
yields reported.
Early corn is being cut and shocked;
the late corn is about made, and is
doing well, except over the western
division, where it is needing more
rain to properly mature; some dam-
age from hot winds is noted over a
few counties.
Broom corn, cane, alfalfa and cas-
tor beans are being secured, with fair
to good yields reported.
Cotton is maturing rapidly, and
picking is in progress; some upland
cotton has been damaged by the hot
winds, but the bottom land cotton is
in good condition; generally the pros-
pect continues good for a large yield,
of a good quality; boll worms and
sharpshooters are causing consider-
able damage over the southern por-
tion of the Indian Territory.
Planting of late potatoes has been
about completed, and turnups and
rye are being sown; the late potatoes
are coming up fairly well, but would
be benefited by rain.
Grass continues fairly good, and
stock continues to do well on range.
Late fruit was benefited by the re-
cent showers, and with melons, and
vegetables doing well, and coming to
the market in large quantities.
FERG'S BLACK MAN.
There is a big kick on in Dewey
county because Governor Ferguson
has appointed a nigger to the posi-
tion of school land appraiser in that
ounty.—Blackwell News
We are not a bit surprised at this
appointment. Be it remembered
that Oklahoma's governor appointed
by the Philippine Imperial Dynasty,
at Washington, namely Tom Fergu-
son, once upon a time advocated the
olonizing of Blaine county with
negroes to insure a republican major-
ity in said county so that he could se-
cure the county printing. What do
you expect from such a governor?
Guthrie has not raised the D. E. &
G. Ry. subsidy yet. The managers
of the road are preparing to survey
two other lines, one through Edmond j
and the other to Oklahoma City. If
Guthrie don't want the road, of
course, they will not get it.
Empting out the
Summer Goods.
The attention of those who think |ts a Bright, active sale of sueful goods. Goods ex-
okiahoma a barren waste is called to actiy suited for the next six or eight weeks. This is
no slaughter or Hurrah Sale but a Clean, Honest
effort to sell t he ballance of our summer goods, by
lowering the prices here and there where good com-
mon sense demands.
the abstract of the condition of na-
tional banks of Oklahoma at the close
of business July 10. The individual
deposits amount to 59,030,268. I here
are, in addition, many private banks
with large deposits.
A young and innocent domestic, by
the name of Miss Johnson, only 21
years old, forged the name of I)r. John
A. Walker, her employer,at Shawnee,
to several bank checks and did the
work so cleverly that the bank came
very near cashing the same. The
girl is a poor little orphan and Dr.
Walker is pleading for her release.
The Wave has discovered that the
county of Garfield is covered with
worthless fruit trees purchased from
irresponsible dealers. The farmers
say the fine budded fruit they bought
have panned out to be nothing but
seedlings, This is a shame, but it
should be a pointer. Buy your fruit
trees from responsible nurcery's
only. One that has a reputation to
maintain and which guarantee its
fruit and is worth the guarantee if
the fruit, turns out wrong.
The Socialists of this county met
at the court house Saturday and nom-
inated a full county ticket, except
probate judge and county attorney.
They had no one iligible to said offices
in their ranks.
Old Cromwell, the bolter, of Enid,
has no sympathy among the populists
of this county. They know the demo-
crats helped elect Callahan and gave
Bob Neff splendid support, and now
Bill Cross deserves the populists sup-
port to a man.—Alva Pioneer.
Col. C. B. Frankie, ex-Mayor of
Pond Creek, was in the city today
visiting with his children, Mr. and
Mrs. Lee Bernstein. He says he
feels confident that Pond Creek will
keep the county seat forever and for-
ever and then a couple of years on
the side.
The Wave has been listening to
hundreds of complaints of the peo'
pie against the Enid Ice Company
Everybody claims they do not get j
fair deal with the company; that
weights are cut from one third to
one half, if these accusations are
true the ice company may expect
competition before the robbins nest
again and the wild duck makes his
northern pilgrimage in the spring
time.
Woodman Picnic.
The Modern Woodman of the world
of this county will indulge in a mam
moth picnic in Finks grove, Banne
township this county, Thursday
Sept. 11th. The boys say they are
going to make the picnic one long to
be remembered for amusements.
CELEBRATION.
The various celebration commit-
tees and the people generally will
meet in the probate court room this
evening. The general public is in-
vited to be present to assist in get-
ting up a successful celebration.
FLYNN'S NEW HEAVEN.
Dennis Flynn was charmed with
Hawaii. Said he: "When persons
die they are believed to go to one of
wo places. Hawaii might be added
to the list. It would make an ideal
hereafter."
Dennis carried out his belief. Af-
ter he was politically slaughtered in
the Enid republican convention, he
went to Hawaii.

J. P. Funk, Clerk,
An east hill lad is credited with
saying that his father has a very re-
markable cow. He said that the cow
has a particular fondness for peaches,
and that on one occasion, after she
had gotten into a neighbors orchard
and ate all the peaches she wanted
his mother milked her, churned the
milk and got three quarts of good
peach putter. On another occasion
the cow ate the tail of an old rooster
in the stall with her and the next
morning in the place of giving milk
she gave a gollon and a half of the
finest kind of cocktail and we got
$400 for the cock tails over at the
Toney Faust saloon.

was given a birthday surprise party
by the young folks of ber community,
Saturday evening, last.
About forty young people entered
the popular yonng fady's home in a

ple had a real good, sociable time
singing and indulging in the usual
parlor plays.
Miss Stevens was overjoyed at the
appreciation of her friends on her

HE PLAYED FOR INSURANCE MONEY.
The coffin that the fellow Morris
was supposed to have been buried in
was resurrected day before yester-
day and there was nothing in it except
a little bit of ice not yet melted and
a bottle of embalming fluid. It has-
also been developed that Morris who
was the corpse, was also the man
named John Cox, who bought the
coffin in Perry.
It has also been discovered that
Morris held a life insurance policy,
with a good company for 15,000 and
that be heid a $."{,000 policy in the
Woodman Lodge.
It is quite apparent that he at-
tempted to play dead to secure the
$8,000 for his wife, then he would
get her to join him with the money
in some far off country. But his work
was horribly course, and he is out
about $50 in the deal. There is a
coffin subject to his order at Orlando,
but where is Morris? He might just
as well show up. the game is played
out and he has lost the pot.
