Mr. J. H. Hutchinson is a demo-
cratic candidate for councilman for
the first ward.
Col. Billings positively refuses to
become a candidate for mayor, but
Col. Hubbard is still in the swim.
The canopy was covered with more
rain clouds today. It seems that
Oklahoma is to be soaked through
and through.
The county commissioners were in
session today transacting- business of
miner importance, but nothing of a
news importance.
Prank Letson will be elected city
treasurer, because he has made a
commendable record. He is the
right man in the right place.
A show was advertised lately, call-
ed the "Irish Pawnbrokers." Did you
ever hear of and Irish pawnbroker?
Did you ever hear of an Irish Jew?
The vagrancy bill has become a law
of the land. Geo. Ferguson signed
it yesterday. It makes vagrants
out of a class not heretofore listed.
The democratic primaries occur
next Friday night. Let there be a
good representation of the party, of
each ward present so that a satisfac-
tory ticket may be selected.
Those stockholders of the shoe
factory who have not. paid up should
hurry. Mr. Shirley is becoming dis-
couraged waiting on the fulfillment
of the contract. Valuable time is
being lost.
Mr. Harry Thompson js reported
dangerously ill at Fort Worth. It is
thought that he cannot recover.
This will be sad nev\s to Mr. Thomp-
son's many close friends here in : d
where he made his home
A Kansas woman has eloped from-
her husband twice within a month
and with a different man each time.
The old man don't worry any; he
knows the other fellow will not keep
her away from the old home very
long.
The Waae leads, the other allgdged
newspapers follow. This office no
sooner develops a new idea in pur-
suit of business than the other chaps
hurry to imitate it. For air actual
fact there is noting origanal surround-
ing' the boiler plate buzzard office.

Every river town troui l'ueb!o to
the state line is figuring on securing
the Frisco's air line to Denver from
Enid Oklahoma. The "airlines" will
look as though it had been diverted
by a cyclone if it takes in some of
the places that are talking- about
getting it.—Lamar Colorado Sparks.
THE SHOE FACTORY.
About $0,000 has been paid into the
treasury of the company, leaving-
$2,000 of the 40 per cent of the capi-
tal stock yet to be paid. The slock
holders all say "my money is ready,"
but it don't seem to be. Remember
gentlemen that valuable time is be-
ing lost. Mr. Shirley is waiting for
the company to do their part, then
it will be his move and he will be
here soon. The shoe factory is a go,
but some of the stockholders are
procrastinating. Come up gentle-
men, lets get the factory started.
The city council has ordered a
vitrified brick sidewalk constructed
on the west side of Twelfth, street
from the Kenwood Boulevard to the
Frisco depot north. This walk was
petitioned for by the majority of the
citizens owning property along the
line and it is much needed. It catch-
es the Wave family for a length of
240 feetiwe would be pleased had we
twice the length to lay.
The county commissioners have
added a new record book to the county
clerk's office. It shows the record of
the land office as to who have proved
up on their claims and who have not.
This book is for the information of
the county assessors as to who has
proved up, but has not had the pat-
ent recorded, in order to escape taxa-
tion. Over seventy farms were
not assessed last year where patents
had been secured but not recorded.
A Pratt man who is ever alert for
a trade had an experience a few
days ago that was not altogether to
his liking. He was bantered for a
sound mule. He produced a Water-
bury watch that had seenbetterdays,
saying "I'll give this for your mule.
The traveler tendered the speculator
a tin mule, and now both men are
scratching their heads in a vain effort
to discover which got the best of the
bargain.
The friends of Mr. Frank Letson
are urging his candidacy for re-elec
tion for city treasurer on the demo-
cratic city ticket. Mr. Letson has
made a good, as well as useful city
treasurer. With the aid of the Hank
of Enid he has been enabled to pay
city warrants when there was no city
•funds in the treasury. In fact he
assisted materially in carrying the
city over several city financial
strains.
'rtie responsibility of Mr. Letson
cannot be questioned. He has ihade
a good and faithful officer and he
undoubtedly deserves a re-election.
PHONE IN THE NEWS.
Say, gentle reader, if you possess
knowledge or information of any oc-
curence or event concerning your-
self or anybody else, which you think
would look well in print and which
you would like *osee there, call up
phone 123. The Wave is a patron
of the telephone exchange for the
purpose of securing news and busi-
ness Nearly every home of the
most prominent citizens contain a
phone. It is very little trouble to
step to the phone and give the Wave
any item of news you may have. It
would help the paper wanderfully,
would make it much more interesting
than it often is and would be much
appreciated by the news rustler of
this office. Please phone us the news
surrounding your daily life.
A Modern Greenhorn.
Young George of the Beaver Couuty
cow chip family, who is now attempt-
ing to write up the evening boiler
plate buzzard, is really as green as
he looks. He don't'seem to have any
thinker. In last nights issue of the
two thirds plate paper he said that
the old fashioned boy who was fool
enough to run and pull a hose cart to
a fire, for nothing, was dead. Now
the indisputable fact still remains
that every last young man in town,
who is not crippled, will run just as
soon as he hears the fire alarm and
nothing on earth would keep him
back, and, he runs for nothing too;
nobody agrees to pay him a cent.
Now how much more wind and exer-
tion A'ould it take if about thirty or
lifty of said young men would take a
hold of a rope leading out from the
little red fire wagon and pull it to
the fire, instead of buying and feed
ing a span of horses the whole year
around to pull the little red wagon to
perhaps two fires within a years time.
It would be much cheaper to the city
to agre e to pay each boy $5 every
time he wass called upon to pull the
little red wagon, a block or two, than
to keep two valuable horses doing
nothing but eat high priced feed the
year round and $40 amonth for some
fellow to take care of the horses.
Greenhorn George Drummond will
run to every fire that occurs in Enid
without getting a cent for it. If the
Mayor would stop him from running
to a fire, for nothing, he would kick
about it. George is not a bad boy
but God created him without art
intelect.
ANOTHER HOLD UP
AT HENNESSEY.
Three Robbers Take Possession! of the
Rock Island Depot. Robbed the
Drawer of a Small
Amount and
SHOT A NEGRO DEAD.
No One Around But the Night Operator.
Tried to Pry the Safe Open
With a Crowbar.
This morning about 2:20 o'clock
three robbers entered the Kock Island
dypot at Hennessey and erderedl the
night operator to throw up hislhands.
They robbed the depot 'money drawer
of $7.50 and then attempted to pry
the small station safe open with a
crowbar. Two of them did the inside
work, while the third stood guard out
on the platform. The night watch-
man of the mill near by heard the
strange noise over at the station, and
he walked over to see what was going
on. The robbers caught him, marched
him into the waiting room and stood
hiin up in the corner, cautioning him
to keep quiet. A negro approached
the depot carrying a lantern. He was
ordered to halt three times, but be-
lieving, it is presumed, that someone
was simply trying to scare him, he
came marching on, when the robber
guard shot him dead. The crowbar
failed to conquer the safe, hence, af-
ter about 15 minutes work the robbers
departed with very little pay for their
trouble. They walked to the stock
yards in the north part of the town,
and rode out on a gallop going south.
Although the robbers were not mask-
ed there is no clue as to their identi-
ty. This is the third time the Rock Is-
land depot at Hennessey has been held
up within the last year.
The name of the negro shot and
killed was Gus Cavats, who was quite
a darktown politician.
Everybody is buying land who has
the price, and nowhere in the union
is land selling more rapidly than in
Oklahoma.
HORACE HAGAN DEAD.
One of the Most Loved Leaders of the
Democratic Party of Oklahoma
has Been Laid low Through
Heart Disease.
Horace H. Hagan, one of the best
known democratic politicians in Ok-
lahoma died suddenly shortly after
noon Monday, March 2, 1903, at Guth-
rie, of heart disease. He was com-
monly known as Farmer Hagan and
a brother of Eugene Hagan, of To-
peka, Kan. He was 44years old. He
was formerly in the real estate busi-
ness at St. Mary's, Kansas, but has
been a citizen of Guthrie for many
years. Horace Hagan had many
warm friends throughout thei terri-
tory who are shocked at his sudden
demise. He was a valuable advisor
in the ranks of the democratic party
in which he was a very active, earnest
and hard working member. Peace
and rest to the soul of noble Horace
Hagan is the ,'prayer of the Wave
and thousands of the friends of the
departed.

MIND READING.
Prof. Cnrnaveaux, Drives Through the
Streets oi Enid Blind Folded. De-
livers Letters snd finds
Hidden Articles.
Yesterday afternoon, as advertised,
Prof. Carnareaux, made a public
exihibitoin of his power as a mind
reader. While the exploits and
powers of mind readers are as old as
the story of the little hatchet, yet
there may be a few readers of the
Wave who do not know or under-
stand the power of those who can
read the mind of other from touch.
Mayor Faubion, County Commis-
sioner Frank Hodgden, Dr. Mayberry,
Billy Dugganicashier ef the Citizens
Bank and J. L. Isenberg were chosen
as a committee of citizens to see that
the hypnotiser could do what he
advertised to do and do it honestly.
The committee, surrounded their
movements in making up the program
with perfect secrecy from any one
outside of the members thereof.
It was arranged that a letter writ-
ten to Mr. Pennimen and addressed
to J. Wilkes Booth be locked in a box
in the post office and the key there-
for be secreted in the rear end of
Hodgden's grocery store, in fact hung
on a nail with another key. Then a
route for the professor drive about the
city in a hack blindfolded was map-
ped out. The mind reader proposed
to drive the hack team at a fast rate
speed over the route, outlined in the
minds of the committee, find the key
of the box in the post office, return
to the post office, secure the letter
and deliver it to the person address-
ed on the inside.
The Professor drove the route,found
the key and the letter and delivered
the latter at the Penniman store,
Mr. Penniman having gone to sup-
per. There was no "humbug" sur-
rounding this test, Prof. Carnavaux
actually performed this dificult task
in mind feading laid out for him,
every member of the committee will
sustain the Wave report. Last
night the Professor gave a very in-
teresting entertainment in hypnotism
in the opera house. Tonight the
entertainment will be better than
last night.
A woman in Enid is considerably
worried because she expects to lose
her girl, who has been her faithful
servant for many years. She says
she can make no calculations for the
future, because her girl has a steady
beau and under those circumstances
she expects an end to their relations
almost any time. When a girl has a
steady every Sunday night her mis-
tress may as well begin to look for
other help.
Last week we heard a man get off
thi; old-fashioned expression: "Right
is right and harms nobody." Now,
what does that mean? Do you know''
Shawnee Herald: A young man
was arrested at Tecumseh today on a
charge of forgery perferred by par-
ties at Asher. The young fellow left
Asher in a box car and part of the
trip to the county seat in i coach.
He handed the conductor bis ticket,
and as he had been seen in the box
car, he was kept under guard until
Tecumseh was reached where an
officer took him in charge. He will
be returned to Asher for a hearing.
A Canadian paper shows its bliss-
ful ignorance as follows: An Okla-
homa man's garden was located on a
hillside. He went out to get some
potatoes for dinner, and prying a
potato out of the ground it got away
from him and rolled down the side
of the hill and wrecked his residence.
The next day one of his large water
melons was kicked by a horse and
sprung a leak and the juice drowned
over 1,000 of his wife's ducks before
they could get out of the way.
