whether It lives until tomorrow or
perishes.
However the little dai.y Wave
will continue: it will plunge iuto the
uncertainties of the future
with as good a grace, just as
happy, just asclear of finan-
cial or auy other obligation as
any business institution of this grow
Ing city, which it has assisted, ma-
terially and substantialy,, in the last
eleven years. With these few scatter
ing remarks the Wave issues the first
number of its 12th year.
Only a few of the old pioneer shacks
rem; in around the public square of
Enid. One by one those old land-
marks ol early struggles and ambi-
tions give way to the modern brick
and=iune structure. Another year
vill probably clean out the few that
are left standing.
T. H. Miller, Jr., of Crete, Neb., is
in th city today on his way to La-
homa whgre he expects to buy or es-
tablish a new bank. The Millers havt
a chain of ten or twelve banks in
Nebraska, and one in Blackwell, O.
T. Mr. Miller intends to engage also
in tbi. loaning of money on farms at
Lahoma.
Six men and boys were gotten out
of the Rock Island yards last night
_,nd given hours to leave town. They
were permitted to stay by a fire last
night and the storm of today has tem-
porarily detained them. None of them
look like tramps or hoboes but they
were all broke.
Dr. T. W. Howard, who lives sixty
three miles west. In Woodward coun-
ty, was inthe city today. He says
crops were not so good with them
this year as we had, but still-^he far-
mers are flurly jisosperous arkl have
out a largti acreage of wheat. The
broom corn crop was very fair and
is bringing a good price,
CASSIE CHADWICK
AS A GRAFTER
She Throwed the Citizens Bank Outfit
in the Deep Dark Shade.
An invoice of Mrs. Cassie L. Chad-
wick's operations has been taken as
far as discovered. Her creditors will
receive about one and one-half mill*
on the dollar.
The extent of her operations is now
believed to be approximately as fol
lows:
Secured from Citizens' National
bank of Oberlin and various sources
in and about Lorain county, Ohio
$000,000.
Borrowed from Herbert D. Newton,
$190,000.
Borrowed from business men in
Pittsburg, $r>00,000.
Total, $1,190,000.
THE SECURITY AMOUNTS TO $1,800,
Against this stands security of
known value only one good note
amounting to $1,800, which Is held by
Irl Reynolds.
It iB quite evident that Cassie was a
slicker grafter than tjie common
scrubs who worked the Citizens Bank
of Enid. However Cassie left 41800
while the Enid outfit hedged out
every cent In sight, or at least the
receiver is not troubling them for
money. There is no evidence that
Cassie played any band In Pea Eyed
Watt's bank unless It was her who
had the Delaware Construction Go's
bonds lithographed and sold to Watt
t0 h tune, of Ml,000. If Mrs. Chad-
wlck don't know anything about those
bonds no one else does. The paper
they are lithographed on is good and
the coloring Is pretty, but that is all,
but the fool reiver paid them out
N of pawn with about M.OOOofthe de-
nosltors' good money
Yes indeed, if Cassie had ever met
Watt, and Bill'* atteet, she would
Have had a little plc-nlc. By the way
shanks seem to be uncertain
tb* "11 over the country. Peoplei
Today eleven years ago this un-
pretentious little journal was launch
ed on the uncertain sea of Journalism
in the thee unpretentious bosom of
the Chrrokee strip with its thousands
of struggling home seekers, with
anything but a bright future before
It. The pioneer citizens of Enid are
familiar with its ups and downs, but
the new corners would not be inter-
ested in a rehearsal of the s-^ i e,
hence, no attempt will be made to
day to give even a synopsis of the
past history of the Wave. Suffice
the management to say that, outside
of the El Reno Democrat, it is the
only paper in Central or western
Oklahoma that is under the same
management and editorial guidance
it was eleven years ago, in fact the
Wave is still owned and controlled
by the spirits who established it.
The Enid Daily Wave may not at
this time be the best daily paper pub-
lished in Central or Western Oklaho-
ma, bnt it was the first daily estab-
lished, on a paying basis, west of the
Santa Fe, main line, track, and, the
only one that has never missed a
daily issue, outside of holidays, in the
eleven years. The owners of the
Wave have never borrowed a dollar
from any bank or individual to pay
running expenses or to expand in the
way of the modern newspaper gaity.
It never worked its friends for a cent
outside of what said friends owed it,
and, it never did collect all its friends
owed it in full.
The proprietorship of the Wave
cannot truthfully blow on the Income
from the money and labor invested
In this paper. Hid the same money
keen invested In many other direc-
tionsin the growing yonng city the
income from the same would have
beentrebble what it has been for
tnenewspaper, but we are well sat-
isfied, outside of the late Citizens
Bank steal, which we will never for-
get or cease to hate and absolutely
condemn the theives as long as life
lasts.
The success of this Journal, If it
ever enjoyed complete success ,1s
vested in tne fact that it has ever^
stood up for the best interesc of the
people It represents, according to its
conception ot right as against all
kinds of boodlers, grafters, thieves
and thugs]wbo like vultures live on
the products of the toll of the|indu«-
trious.
In pursuing this course iu the last
eventful eleven years in the history
of this city and county, the bead of
this paper has been shot at, battered,
knocked, threatened witb death,
abused, flattered, conjoUd and en-
couraged on nearly every street cor-
ner of this city,—yet amidst all these
apparent troubles and joy, he has
really enjoyed his exlstan< e here; for
the reason that In the midst of all
the tumult he could see that his work
was doing some good In the Interest
of the masses, not Individuals, who
often condemned him.
The railroad companies will not
hire an engineer who falls in love
with his engine, for the reason that
he will spend more time in polishing
and taking care of the engine than
be will in running trains and making
time. It is the same in the newspaper
business. The man who falls in love
with his newspaper, bis own produc-
tion, will spend more time and money
in waking it look pretty and large
than in giving the people the news or
protecting them In thousands of mat
ters constantly coming up of a public
nature. The Wave people have
over Icll in love with their paper; It
Is simply a medium they have adopted
Not filter of Discontent.
There will be three swell banquets
given in Enid this month. It might
be well to designate them as swell,
sweller and swellest, but as no man
can tell which will be "it," we mtst
refuse to do so, and besides, "Compar-
isons are odious."
' On Tuesday evening, Dec. 20, the
M. W. A. will give a banquet in the
Masonic Temple, and orders have
been given for plates for 150 people,
members and guests.
The same evening, at their own
home, the B. P. O. E will serve a
banquet, elaborate in detail, for
which 140 covers will be laid.
On Wednesday night, Dec. 28, the
Enid Kire Department will entertain
all the city officials at a banquet, in
the city hall, and the caterer has or-
ders for an elaborate menu for 50
guests. The cost of the spread will
be $75. which shows that the boys ex-
pect to eclipse their former banquets,
this time.

During the campaign an eastern
college professor said that a majority
of the Kansas people are crazy most
of the time. Do you suppose that
learned man knew Kansas was going
to give a republican majority of
126,000 for the protection of eastern
factories? So that Kansas could pay
a real good price for manufactured
goods?
It is rumored that the democratic
party is dead. Sorry to hear it, for
if the rumor is true the republic
must be about dead also.

Why does a woman take the name
of her husband when she Is married?
The St. Louis Republic explains in
this way: "The custom which makes
It proper for the wife to assume the

Involved In much obscurltv. A re-

that it originated from the Roman

Pompey and Cicero, was called by the
Romans Julia of Fompey and Oc-
