OBITUARY.

| rier. The deceased was 54 years of
time
The banquet and smoker of last
night should have began one hour
earlier owing to the long list of
speakers. As it was, it was long af-
ter midnight when the speech mak-
ing was concluded, and then, some-
thing like a dozen people did not re-
spond. The speech of the evening
was made by the blind statesman of
Comanche county, Senator Gore. He
seems to be inspired with oratory
equal to Bob Ingersol, Jim Blain and
other noted of old. If the wave had
the space to publish the answer made
to each toast, last night, it would be
interesting reading indeed, but the
remarks of each one must remain a
fond memory by them who heard
them only. Suffice the Wave to say
all remarks were gentlemanly. There
was not one unharmonious utterance;
there was no boosting of territorial
candidates for preferment; in fact,
nothing disturbed the love feast of
democracy, unless it might have
been Bod Neft's remarks toward mak-
ing the school land lessees interest
a paramount issue in the coming
campaign. <S>f course, it was quite
evident to the Hon. Bob's best friends
he was making a big stage play for
the support of the school land lessees
which will develop in Kay county
due time. It was noticed that Bob
wasn't jarred a little bit by old time
stage fright.

The democratic banquet and love
feast last night was a great success
in some directions in others it was a
failure. The committee either over-
sized the crowd or the caters did.
'1 here was one table in the uncom-
fortable cold dirty room that did not
contain a table cloth, plates or knives
and forks. The guests were compel
led to eat pigs feet and other cheap
stuff with their lingers and wipe with
their hankerchiefs. The dirty old
store room the banquet was held
"in could not have been more uninvit-
ing, there was no warmth, there was
no flowers no bunting, there was
nothing but beer, ham, pigs feet and
speech making. The room in which
the banquet was held had been a com-
mission house which had not been
cleaned out since it was built. lOven
four strings reaching from the ceil-
ing to hang bananas on had not been
removed. We do not know who is to
blame for this uninviting condition,
the committee or the caterers, but
we do know that the banquet was not
worth over twenty-five cents a plate,
more especially to those who did not
enjoy the luxury of a plate, knife,
fork, spoon, or napkin.
In this diy and age it is reliable to
charge all you can and do just ser-
vice enough to command pay whether
the service is satisfactory or not. The
Wave opposes the giving of any
more banquets under the name of
the democratic party unless it is
assured of a good management.

The "Majah" Failed.
Leslie Niblack is to make a speech
at the territorial democratic commit-
tee meeting at Enid. This makes
Nib's friends donbt his sincerity in
announcing himself a candidate for
the nomination of delegate to con-
gress.—Wichita Eagle.
Majah Niblack w,-s here and he was
billed for a few glowing obstreperous
remarks, but he was not present
when his name war called. He was
out pr ambulating the business por-
tion of Enid rubber necking the
height of our tall building and noti-
cing the few negroes on the streets.
A team belonging to a man by the
name of Lee ran away, starting two
blocks north of the Frisco depot on
Independence avenue last evening
about (i o'clock. The team turned
short and upset the buggy drawing
Mr. Lee about 25 feet, cutting his
head and body in many places. He
was carried into the home of Mr.
Knotts, near by. It was an hour
after the accident before he became
conscious.

The wide prevalence of coughs,
colds, grip and pneumonia marks ail
experience of severe and protracted
winter weather the like of which we
have not seen for many a year. '! he
stubborn persistence of catarrhal
troubles is also a marked feature of
depressing influences which follow a
long siege of rapidly changing low
and raw temperatures. The man is
fortunate indeed who has not been at
some time since Christmas confined
to his bed with a 'cold' of some sort
that be cannot succeed in curing.
This condition of affairs has existed
for months, and the end is not yet.
In fact, he behooves all careful peo-
ple to be on their guard against all
catarrhal troubles more than ever.
March is a typical pneumonia
month and gives a high rate of mor-
tality for the disease. One season
for this is that after our long and
hard winters the system loses its
natural resistance to cold. Only the
hardy ones are likely to withstand
the strain, and even these are by uo
means safe when grip is increasing
almost to epidemic manifestation.
The ordinary 'cold,' the grip and
pneumonia belong to the same fami-
ly of winter diseases. Although they
may be excited by different infec-
tions influences, their ultimate ef
fects are the same when the attacks
are sufficiently sevete.
An acute catarrh is always, the re-
sult of undue exposure of low tem
peratures. The rapl* cooling of the
surface, when not balanced by pro-
perreaction, produces congestion and
inllamation of the nasal and bronch-
ial membranes. Obviously such an
ailment is not communicable, in the
ordinary sense, from one individual
to another. As the slightest 'cold1
predisposes the individual to Latacks
oi the most .severe and dangerous
catarrhal affections, the necessity
for its quick cure need not be en-
forced."
All these fact- emphasize the nec
essity of exuaordinary precautionary
measures against the ordinary cold.
Every one can not change his cli-
mate at will but may make the most
of what he ha- at home, vU, take
Chamberla'tr s Cough R-medy as soon
as the lirst indication of the cold ap-
pears. It not only cures a cold quick
ly but counteracts any tendency of
the cold to result in pneumonia. This
fact has been fully proven during the
epidemics of colds and grip of th£
past few year-. No case of either
of these diseases having resulted in
pneumonia when this remedy was
used has ever been reported to the
manufacturers, which shows conclu-
sively that it is not only the best and
quickest cure for colds but a cer' ain
preventive of that dangerous dis-
ease. For sale by All Druggists.

District Court Clerk Kenshaw says
that the answer of the jurors as to
their qualill'-atiou to sit in hearing of
cases are quite different In G.eer

in Texas before coming to Oklaho-
