A (irand Frieze lip.
The cold waye got in its cruel work
last night. Tne exposed thermome-
ters registered down to within 10 de-
grees of zero, away below the friez-
ing point. The southwest wind was
a keen cutter and everything exposed
was well frozen.
Many who were not out doors dur-
ing the evening did not realize bow
cold it was, hence, did not take care
of exposed water pipes, pumps etc.
This morning it was discovered
that much damage had been done to
water pipes etc.
It was the coldest night ever ex-
perienced since the settlement at
this .season of the year. On Thanks-
giving day 1 *98 sU\ inches of snow
fell in Enid after which come a real
hard frieze, which was close to this
GOD FORBID.
The Guthrie Leader seems to have
accumulated a little of the republi-
can lioom for Grover Cleveland for
president of tin; United States. If
the devil in his mighty power and
wisd 'in should be able to control the
next democratic-convention in favor
of that old glutten friend of the tnil-
lionair aristocracy the democratic
party w ill h.;Te at last icacbcd its
end entire and complete disrepu-
tation, as the weight of its own hy-
pocracy would choke it to death.
Grover Cleveland would be the
worst defeated man who ever run for
the ex 11 ted office of presidentar.d the
only one who ever attempted a third
term in the face (If the ballot box.
The illustrious duck hunter stuffed
with uuile hair and a mulish disposi-
tion would not carry over live states
of tht Union, in the south, where
they would vote for ior a democrat
yellow dog before they would touch a
republican candidate.
Besides the hatred the common
people have for Grover Cleveland, he
would be a third term candidate, con-
trary to the principles of George
Washingnon which has been held sa-
r-r-l foundation of the re-
pub.u. No ib.rtt term for a presi-
dent of the United States has always
been a cardinal principle of the dem-
ocratic party, and, we (irmly believe
that the few alledged democrats who
advocate his renomination are work-
ing in the interest of our political
enemies the republican party.
If the movement is for the purpose
of winding up the affairs of the demo-
cratic party, the party of the com-
mon people, a better, a more certain
plan could not be adopted by the na-
tional convention next year than the
nomination of Graver l loveland who
assassinated the party during the
year 1893—97. Had Cleveland been a
true honest democrat the republican
partv would be as dead and putried
as the Dead Sea is today. No,—no,—
never Cleveland again. Roosevelt,
with all his frills and political trick-
ery and play ground work with the
negroes, is ten times a better demo-
crat than Grover Cleveland. Ret us
stand pat on our principles even
though defeat rests on our banners
for a century.

Guthrie, O. T., Nov. 17.—A Wash-
District court is not doing a ington dispatch says "Al" J.Jennings,

clients don't seem to be veady j }lotn;i ;lnd Indian territory, wants to

the federal penitentiary at Columbus
O , and once secured his release by a
pardon from the President. Now
Jennings has made application for a
citizenship pardon which will restore
all privilege* to him. Jenning's pe-
tition was tilled in the department of
Justice by Bird S. McCuir.. delegate
of Oklahoma Jennings was a memj
ber of the notorious Jennings gang
which opei ated in Oklahoma in the
early daysot'that territory until hunt-

A Threatening Epidemic.
\tchison, Kan., young men have
been thrown into a panic lately by a
stout girl of 17 years who is known
as Belle the Kisser. The girl, who is
rather good looking, is living with
an uncle. She has a mania for kis-
sing boys. She seizes them and ac-
complishes her fell designs despite
their screams. Arthur Horn of
Northwest Atchison, complained to
the police Saturday that he had been
forcibly kissed by the villainess right
on the face. Niblack of the Guthrie
Rerder says. "We do not know when
we have read anything that has so
tilled us with apprehension as this
story. What if the mania should
spread? We intend to go into a base
ball mask after dark."
Two Children Burned.
The two children of James McKee,
a boy of four and a girl of two years,
were burned to death Wednesday two
miles east and three miles south of
Kiel, in a lire that also destroyed the
McKee home. McKee was at work
away from home. Two older child-
ren were at school. The mother
locked the house and went to a neigh-
bors a quarter of a mile away.
When the lire was noticed it was too
ate to save the children.
A Bit of Humor.
Guthrie Leader.—Col H. E. Havens
of Enid Is in the city taking in the
carnival." The above Is one of the
Leader's funny items Kveryhody
knows that the Col. is in Guthrie nur-
sing his political ambitions which
haye been slumbering in his bosom
for these many yeas, but fears are
entertained that said slumber will
never be answered with success.
The flood Old Simmer Time.
The good old summer time has gone,
Mosquitoes and the dust,
Some men have made a lot of cash,
And others but a crust.
MCGUIRE'S KILLING BILL.
Uu • e McCuire has conduced to
withhold his statehood bill until the
first day of the regular session of con-
gress.
If he is really in favor of statehood
for Oklahoma, he should never intro-
duce his bill, for statehood for Oklaho-
ma, as it will never pass, but it might
defeat statehood of any kind-
The last great republican friend of
statehood for Oklahoma alone, Sen-
ator Quay of Pennsylvania, has
switched to double statehood.
The republican congressmen have
their eyes and minds set on single
statehood- This fact is plain, hence,
MnG ire cannot do any good wiih
his bill, but it may be the means of
killing any kind of a statehood bill,
which is tne result desired by the
federal office holding crowd who gave
political birth to Birdie.
The only portion of the republican
party in favor of statehood for Okla
homa alonejare the outside republi-
cans of Oklahoma, which in strength
and size is likened unto a mustard
seed in conparison with a cocoanut.
The republicans of Oklahoma and
their voteless delegate in congress
scarcely cut a visible figure in the
face of the big republican machine
at Wasliingtou. The national lead-
ers of the g. o. p. all pastern men,
will not admit four United States
senators, and in all probability dem-
ocrats, from the country bounded
by the lines of the orriginal Indian
Territory. This is a glaring fact
openly expressed by every senator
east of the Mississippi river.
Therefore, why not accept the in-
evitable, or elect a democratic con-
gress which would admit Oklahoma
alone.

PEOI'LINC THE SOUTHWEST.
Thousands in Kansas City on their way j
to find new Homes.
"It is the largest honieseeker busi-
ness this depot ever handled," said a
railroad man at the Kansas City
Union Depot this morning.
Yesterday was the day of the home-
eker's rates effective the third Tues-
day in the month, hundreds of per-
sons passed through this depot last
night, bound for tbe west and south-
west, men from the densely popula"
ted east seeking new homes in the
Missouri '. alley, the plains of Kansas
in Oklahoma and the Indian Terri-
tory and even farther westward and
southward to New Mexico or Texas.
If there was a crowd at the depot
last night there was a crush this
morning. Most of the men seeking
new homes west of the Missou i river
come from east of the Misolppi river,
and it is this trmy of homeseekeis
that is flocking through 'the Union
depet to day. Jiailroad men -ay that
the bulk of the traffic is going to Ok-
lahoma, and the Hock Island trains
carried uiore people yesterday and
to day than they ever carried before.

WHEAT EXHIBIT.
The Territorial World's Fair Com-
missiorers announce that the number
j of samples of fine wheat received for
exhibit at the World's Fair is far
I short of what it should lie, the num-
! ber of samples of 11X13 wheat being
j les> than 300 samples, when fully 1000
should be shown. Garfield county has
I fallen short of furnishing her quota
I and the farmers, mill and elevator
men and real estate men of the coun-
ty should take hold ahd see that this
| county furnishes enough wheat to
; make a proper showing. Forty sam-
! pies of wheat testing over sixty
j pounds are still wanted from this
county. Each sample should contain
I about' six quarts of grain and the
: name and address of the grower, test,
! name of variety, and yield per acre
should be giver. Lenue the samples
'with II. N. Horner of Enid, Honor-
ary World's Fair Commissioner for
i tis county or consult him as to where
to leave them.
