Why:
Pay as
Much
for an inferior beer ?
Schlitz beer costs twice
what common beer costs
in the brewing. One-half
pays for the product; the
other half for its purity.
One-half is spent in
cleanliness, in filtering even
the air that touches it, in
filtering the beer, in ster-
ilizing every bottle. And
it pays the cost of aging
the beer for months before
we deliver it.
If you ask for Schlitz
you get purity snd age,
you pay no more than
beer costs without them.

CLEVELAND NOT A CANDIDATE.
For the benellt of a few republ c n
who a re masquerading as populists
and insisting • that Grover Cleveland
will be the democratic candidate for
president in 1904 we decided to pub-
lish his letter to Mr. McKelvey, which
speaks f.r itself:
"Princeton, N' J., Nov. 25, 1904.
My Dear Mr. McKelvey;—! have
wanted for a long time to say some-
thing which I think should be said to
youb 'fore others.
"You can never know how gratt-
ful I am for the manifestation of
kindly feelin;; toward me on t e part
of my countrymen, which your initia-
tive has brought out.
•'Your advocacy in the Eagle of my
nomination for the presidency came
tome as a great surprise, and it has
b.-en secmided in such manner by
democratic sentiment that conflict-
ing thoughts of gratitude and duty
have caused me to hesitate as to the
time aud manner of a declaration on
my part concerning the subject—if
such a declaration should seem nec-
essary or proper.
"In the midst of it all and in ful'
view of every consideration present-
ed, I have not for a moment been able
nor am 1 now able, to open my mind
to the thought that in any circum-
stances or upon any consideration I
should ever again become the nomi-
nee of my party for the presid-
ency.
"My determination not to do so is
unalterable and conclusive.
'•This you at least, ought la know
from me, and 1 should b - gl id if the
F.agle were made the medium
• >f its conveyance to the pub-
lic Very sincerely,
"Ghovkr CLEVELAND."
HOW BIG PATTURE SHALL OPEN.
Chairman si Public Lands Committee
Gives out his Plan.
Waslngton, Dee. 7. -Congressman
Lacey of the committee on public
lands of the housr is in favor of sell-
ing the $400,U!(i acres of land ill the
Comanche country pasture reserve,
to the highest bidder for cash, sealed
bids being used. His Idea is to ha\e
the president issue a proclamation
and within three months after that
date dispose of the land. He would
also provide that not more than 100
acres be sold to any one person and
1 that such purchaser must be quali-
fied under.the general homestead law
to make entry. The land should lie
sold for not less than $1.50 per acre,
one third of the price bid to be paid
at the time the bid is made and the
balance of the purchase price to be
paid in three annual in-tallment
with five per cent interest. Con-
gressman Lacey's idea is that the
person purchasing the land must al-
so reside upon the same for time
years before he can secure a patent
from the government.

District Court News.
Judge Irwin opened the district
court Saturday morning to hear the
case of Albert Hammer in ejectment
proceedings against Gannon. Henry,
Rogers, et al. owners of property in
the Jonesville addition to the city.
After considerable sparing between
the lawyers on each side the judge
entertained a motion from Ham-
mer's attorneys asking for a change
of venue to Kingfisher county. The
attorneys argued that it was doubt-
ful whether Mr. Hammer, theircliant
could secure an imprejudiced jury
in this county. The judge sustained
the petition and remand d the case
to Klngtisher for trial in the near
future. After the petition was j
granted the district court adjourned, j 'f|,e | jfe Laddies Active

In other words they would rather al-
low the public schools to be robbed
out of the gift given them by a bene-
ficient democratic administration
than totake chances in standing up
for justice in this matter.
The Wavk has no scinch on its
party, don't know what action the
party may take Iro the matter, but
as far as the writer is individualy con-
cerned he would rather see the party
go down to defeat time anil time again
than to sanction a wrong just for the
sake of the success of the democratic
politicians. ■-

The Milk In The Cocoanut.
The BChool lan I question is not a
question of politics, lor at least, it
should not be. • If Ithe election of
Tom, Dick or Harry depends on the
disposition of the school lauds let Tom
Dick and Harry "go to the political
graveyard.
The Wave lias always been with
the common people, and their inter-
ests. A-il its troubles in the past have
be;n over the roasting of disaonejt
politicians, and petty hangers on
around the public feed trough.
It Is quite evident that the feder-
ral government set aside section 10
and 118 throughout the territory of
Oklahoma for the benitlt of the pub-
lic schools, hence, the gift should
never be construed to mean the inter
est of any man or any sel of men who
hold school land under lease, regard-
less of what political party Imight be
benitlted through the disposition of
the land by sale or otherwise. The
people of Oklahoma and the public
school trustees are well satisfied with
the present policy in regard to the
disposition of the school lands. Hut,
—-lo and behold the school land
renter wants to secure the land, in
fee simple, and at the same price the
government sells raw land in anew
country Here Is the rub. The
schools are entitled to the advance
in price of their lands; just the same
as an individual who sells his land ad-
joining school land. This is just in
the interest of education: it is just
in the interest of the people; and it is
just in the sight of the gift of the
government to the public schools. It
is now well understood that the
school land lessees are going to hold
a club over the heads of the politi-
cians of both parties until they se-
cure the lands they occupy at a ridi-
culous price In comparison with the
true value of the land.
Tne republican politicians have
shown that they are very mucn afraid
of the proposition and show signs of
submltlng to the school land lessees
rather than risk defeat at the polls.
Damage Slight.
Saturday evening last, about 6:1<>
o'clock llames were noticed coming
from the roof of a small one story
house on the north side of west Kim
street, between Independence Ave-
nue and 12th street, belonging to .1.
A. Bass.
An Alarm was turned In and the
lire department responded quickly
but not knowing the location of the
fire they went west on Broadway and
circled around through Kenwood to
the burning building.
1 he lire undoubtedly occured from
a detective Hue. The boys soon cut
a hole in the roof and put the tire out.
The damage did by the lire was all
in the roof, but the water used in
putting it out did considerable dam-
age to the interiorof the little house.
No doubt the little house, and per-
haps some of the surrounding housts
would have burned had it not been
for the (Ire department and plenty of
water.
HORRIBLE SIDEWALKS.
The City Council is still diving
around after this or that city officer
trying to pick llaws in the service of
this one and that one, while the cltv
business needs attention in many oth-
er directions The side walks on the
south side of Monroe Avenue from
the Exchange restaurant to the cor-
ner of Otli street, east, thence around
block It to Broadway is in a horrible
condition, liable to bring a damage
suit against the city at any time.
This is only one bad streak of walk
the city is full of rotten walks. It is
the duty of the council to see that
the owners of tin abbutting property
either repair or put in new walks,
and save suits for damages for in-
juries sustained.
Qol. Hank Billings and Senator
Brandow turned a trick with one
another Saturday night again. Den-
nis Flynn the other partner of thq
Arm could not appear.
