Two Boys KilUl By Lightning.
We have heard of two boys being
struck by lightning last Friday after-
noon and killed. The story runs that
these boys were hauling hay a few
tulles south of Watonga. During the
rata storm that day they are suppos-
ed to have been on the stack loading
when they were struck. Afterwards
their bodies burned to a crisp were
found in the smouldering ruins of the
hay stack, One was the sixteen year
old son of Samuel Richmond who lives
about eight miles from {Geary, and
the other was the twenty year old
son of a Mr. Thomas who lives 7 miles
southeast of Watonga. The remains
of the boys were burled at Condell
cemetry last Sunday. We got the
news from Mr. iHall.—Kingfisher
Free Press.
ECONOMY THE WATCHWORD.
The only excuse those who voted for
the cheap water pipe last night has
to offer Is that it ''ould save the city
something line *1H'J0 or «2,000, on the
face of the Hrtt expense, but, of
course, the tuuue xpense must take
care of itself. As a further
idea In economy, the Wave i* pleased
to suggest that the council give

grelse, hence, the city l< about
enter the realms ot another costly
experiment.
The conservative end of the council
made a noble fight against this ap-
parent mistake, but the majority was
against them. The Wavh will not
roast the majority of the cbunci), for
the reason that they actually don't
know the worthlessness of the light
pipe they have contracted to pur
chase. They seemed to have conll-
dence in the unsupported - guarantee
of the agent.
The council, very abruptly sat down
on the citlze s'committee appointed
by the mayor to act in conjunction
with the council in handling the
.">,000 in bonds granted by the people
for the extension and improvement
of the water work'. The report, or
recommendation of said citizens com-
mittee will be found in this issue of
the Wave and it makes its own ex-
planation.
The Wave is fully in accord with
the council in its water works legis-
lation, outside of the issuing of the
wnole amount of the water bonds
and the buying of alight weight cast
iron water pipe that will not do good
service after it is in the grou id a
year. It is distasteful to the Wave
to knock, but when it is satisfied from
practical experience that knocking
is necessary for the public good it will
not hesitate in giving the kno-k.
The council shjuld re-consider the
light weight pipe deal, before it is
too late, because, we believe, or ac-
tually know that the light weight
pipe will be an expensive experiment
for the city i 3 the future. No honest
engineer or architect has recom-
mended said light pipe, nor will any
honest engineer do so. Read the re- i
port of the city committee elsewhere,
as well as their authority for butting

Oklahoma Prosperous.
Evidences multiply which show that
Oklahoma Territory is today mote
prosperous and has a greater aound-
ance. of money than at any period of
its history. Exchanges from every
iection tell of iuiorovements being
started and the acc lunts are not
boom al tides, but ot work already
done. In one neighborhood a cream-
ery is under constrction, in another a
canning factory. One county is com-
pleting a fine court house and another
is putting up a numberof fine bridges
Here a llouring mill and there a cot-
ton gin all combined show a prosper-
ous condition. Tnese ar-.* the things
which come after the country is once
settled and it begins t> ass.ime Its
completed form. At first the whole
resouro s of the people were exhaust-
ed in breaking up the sod, planting
orchard and building homes. Now the
farms are made and stocK, grain, cot-
ton and other farm products are
abundant an i i he people seek proiit-
able means o disposing of their sur
plus. Itis evident that Oklahoma
has passed from that experimental,
immature stage which lasts in all
new countries for about fifteen years,
and has pa-sed to that easier stage
where ' he country can come some-
where near doing jts best.

The following horrible tale recent-
ly appeared in a Paris newspaper:
"M. le Colonel Bryan first came in-
to fame as one of the strange, half-
savage baud of cowboys who roamed
over the Far West, fighting the
Indians and wild beasts. Imitating,
perhaps, the custom of the Indian
chiefs, each of the cowboys boTe a
a tickname based on some ' of his
exploits as a hunter and fighter.
Thus M. le Colonel Bryan's title
among his rough, but brave and stur-
dy, comrades, was Silver Bill the
Dead Shot. After the treaty of
peace was signel with the Indians at
Chicago in 1890, Colonel Bryan went
out of the cattle business and became
one of the bonanza farmers of the
We-t. He can sit on his back stoop,
as the rear veranda is called in
America and look over his field of
corn stretching further than eye can
reach in any direction. As a result
of his early training on the plains,
where he spent months at a time
without an opportunity of talking to
another human being, the former
candidate for president is exceeding-
ly tacturn, and can hardly be per-
suaded to express his opinion on the
issues of the campaign. He i- the
