The Odd Fellows' Banquet
a Happy Social Time.
A more truly fraternal banquet
than the one- tendered by the 'Enid
J-Codge I. O. O. F., to their visiting
* brethren at their hall last night,
aiever occurred in this city. It was
plenty to eat ami g'>..d cheer from
start'to finish- The space of the
Wavk forbids mentioning the long
list Af toasts and the answers: suffice
4tto say tint all that was saia touch-
ed ttie hearts of all present. Tne
Wavk under«tands that the Rebeccas
-of the noble order of Odd Fellowship
are eulitled to the thanks for the
tmuitlful spread and much of the en-
joyment of the brotherhood as their
ipresence ano prompt waiting upon
all was perfect. The local lodge of
■Odd Fellows of this city are the
wealthy people in comparison with
the-other secret organizations of the
city'. They have property valued at
315,000.
The Wavkjoins with the people of
t'Jnld wishing Odd Fellowship many
4wppyand pleasant gatherings within
the city limits.
Reports as to Action
Of Captain Frank Frantz
Absolutely Untrue.
The issue ofthedaily Wave of Sat-
urday April 22 contained an r icle
making public through publication
certain rumors and reports concern-
ing the actions of Capt. Prank Frantz
in bis relation with the Citizens bank
and sub eij lent action iu Washington
in I ebalf of Big Jim. These runiirs
or allegations,were whispered in the
ears ot the Wavk man many times
during the early part of last winter
and again a few days ago, Believing
Capt. Frantz to be innocent of the
charge we gave publicity to the same
so that the friends of Mr. Frantz
could counteract the poison sown.
Undlsputable evidence, or positive
proof, has been presented to the Wavk
since the article appeared, that
there is positively m truth in the
gossip mentioned
Every cent Capt. Frank Frantz
owed the Citizens bank, including the
Interest, was paid to the receiver In
full last January, hence, this kills
the report in regard to a'ny trade for
influence and in fact kill* all suspic-
ion that Capt. Frantz ha* i:i any way
takenany hand in the aflitrs wf this
judicial district in Wa-hington. The
Wave has other evidence at hand
which shows conclusively to our mind
ttiat Capt. Frantz spoke to no one in
power at Washington in favor or
against the charges made- at Wash-
ington etninating from this judicial
district. Capt Frantz has not com-
municated with the WAVE in any
manner since last Saturdays issue of
the paper, hence, he has said nothing
to us in his own defense. His friends
have shown us his innocence beyond
doubt and the further connection of
his name with the ('iti/.'ns bank or
big jim's affairs, would be very wrong
and malicious. The Wave did not
believe these reports iu the lirst
place and said so in the article We
are pleased to publish ,this refuta-
tion, and, the political enemies of
Mr. Frantz or the wild eyed "mother
grundes'' should cease in connecting
his name with the trouble mentioned.
The tongue of a scandal monger
often has a broader circulation than
a newspaper, and the party scandel-
ed has no recourse against t he scan-
dal. It is likened unto the work of a
grand jury : only one side is hea.d and
very often the public readies a wrong
"verdict, the same as a grand jury.

WALT BROWN S FAST HIDE.
V'ettcrday afternoon Walt. Brown's
favorite driving horse ran away start
«>gfrom Dast Broadway. Mr. Brown
• as driving the animal himself and
lie tried to keep the animal that was
•going some" straight out west on
Broadway, but In spite of all he could
lio the horse turned touth on Inde
f-cndence avenue and then east on
i'.aine street and turned north on
Grand avenue, mixing up with the
cabs and busses In front of the Buss
office where the animal was caught
and stopped. Mr. Brown was in a
dangerous position but he escaped
vitbout injury. The horse had always
Oeen considered perfectly gentie and
*afe, In fact the women folks of the
family bad been accustomed to driv-
ing tfce animal. A blind bridle bad
always been used on the horse, but
\ esterday an open bridle was put on
him and soon a(tei wards the runaway
occurred. It Is thought that he
: cared at something be saw back-
wards, not being accustomed to look
'ng backward.
JtOCkMAN ARRESTED.
Henry Perry, the territorial cattle
inspector, caused the arrest of W.
K. Tandy, a prominent resident and
cattle man of Woodward, who was
charged with drlvlnp cattle, without
Inspection, from Roger Mills to
Woodward county, over the quaran-
tine line. The experience cost Mr.
Tandy the sun of 1100 and costs in
the probate court of Iloger Mills
couity. •
Let Us Pray.
Another one of those college presi-
dents lias rushed to the front with a
plan to wipe out the trusts. It will
be remembered that a year or two
ago one of these fossils suggested as
a remedy for the trust evil, that we
ostracize the trust magnates and
their families W.ially. As the vast
majority of us didn't cut much ice in
the immediate social circle in which
the trust magnaies hobnobbed, we
lacked the opportunity ef snubbing
them at social fuu-.tioas, and the
college president's pian failed to
work. Hut now cones President
Wilson, of l'rinceton University,
who advises praying as a sure cure
for the trust evil. No doubt this lat-
ter scheme will just, suit the trusts
for while the people are praying on
their knees, the trusts will be prey-
ing upon the people. —Bob Neff.
lirand Jury Discharged
After a Bunch of Indictments
Had Been Found.
Owing lo the Holy Writ (be Father
Son and Holy Ghost Escaped by
One Vote.
Ex=Mayor Linden Indicted
And Arrested by Sheaiff
The Other Indictments a Secret as the
Papers Have Not Been Served.
Dan Huett The Joe Folk of
Oklahoma.
The Grand Jury finished their
labors yesterday, but as there was no
Judge to receive their final report
the matter laid over until this morn-
ing when Beauchamp appeared One
of the indictments proved to be
against Ex-Mayor John Linden, the
text of which has not been reporttd
to the Wave, but we are told that it
Is a charge against nim as county
treasurer in his relation with the
late free lunch Citizens Bank.
Tne sheriff bad Mr. Linden in toe
the last we heard of the matter. We
don't know the amount of the bund
required for his lijerty or whether
he has given it or not. In fact the
Wave is shut out of all or any news
from the Cout House officials in the
precincts of the District court.
However, it is presumed that the
conglomnratlon of pals guilty of the
wreckingof the Citizen.* bank will
have to come forward with a bond for
Linden the same as they did for
Watt and Bill,or Linden will squeal.
If the people could ever get one of
the wreckers in jail a few minutes
there would be some hope for devel
opments that might lead to the
incarceration of the whole eang in
the penitentiary where they belong.
It Is reported to the Wave through
the side walk monkeys, in which the
Wave places no implicit confidence
that the grand jury come within one
vote of disobeying that great Mosiac
law which reads: ' There cannot be
anything said against the Father,
Son and Holy Ghost." The Father,
Son and Holy Ghost in the premises
of the Grahd jury was Big jim, young
Hob and John the diciple of the
early days of Grant County.
Dan Huett the present County At-
torney, at last, turned his attention
from small misdemeanors and went
after the real thin« in the shape ot
grafting in thiscommunity. He has
shown himself to be worthy of the
spors of Governor Joe Folk of Mis-
souri.
The Besf Trust System.
Mrs Mary E. Marcy, an emuloyee
of a beef packing firm, was a witness
before the graud jury at Chicago
which is investigating the beef
trust. It is said that she revealed
many secrets showing the existence
of a trust and told the secret code bv
which the packers conduct their
joint operations. Concerning the
methods of fixing prices Mrs, Marcy
said: "When any company invests
one dollar which covers the price
paid to the stockman for cattle, rents
taxes, Interest, labor in the plant
and in the office the expenses
of selling and collecting,
tbey add 50 or 60 per cent as profits
andenargethe retail butcher sl.tiO
for meat costing them $1. The
dealer, oi course, pays the frleght,
probably lOcents, which makes his
meats cost him £1.70 He then ados
50per cent of his Investment, oi
eihtyfive cents, In selling to the
consumer, which must cover shrink-
age, rent, assistance lo*ses which
usually amount to about 15 per
cent, and profits. The consumer
pays them $2.25 for meat that actual-
ly costs, all profits deducted, only
about sixty or sixty-five cents."

Oi.cof the private olllcial cars of
the Forth Smith & Western road,
named "Sans. lioU" is standing on a
side track of the D. E. & G. road. A
Wavf. reporter looked the new arri -
vals up and found it was the private
car ot Col. J. H. Crone, General
Manager of the "Fort Smith" line.
Mr. Mitchell, representing an Ark-
ansas Tie| Co. accompanied the car.
The gentlemen went out on the D. E
& G. line west just before
noon, hence, their ousiness here can
not be outlined in this paper through
interview, but we presume the
grafters organ will again ^tnswer
that the Alfalfa line has been sold i
its issue of this evening.
The Wichita Beacon has the fol-
lowing to say of the present and fu-
ture political situation: "The line
of demarkatioti is strongly drawn be-
tween the two parties. The republi-
cans today, as ever, stand for the
protection of privileged wealfh and
against the masses. .Mr. Bryan
stands for the people. Within the
next year or two there will be a
stronger pull in the direction of the
masses-"back lo the people" as Mr.
Bryan says, than ever before. It will
make little ditlerence whether the
men who bold anti-capitalistic ideas
count themselves republicans or dem-
ocrats, the time will corn.- before the
next national election, when there
will be a separation—wh.-n the mas1
ses will he obliged, for their own pro-
tection, to take a definite stand for
their rights. President Roosevelt is
preserving the balance in republican
circles at present and as long as he
holds the reins it will be impossible
for the senate influence to gain com-
plete control. But this is Mr. Roose-
velt's last term and when he steps
down the pendulum will swing again
the other way and the corporate in-
terests will resume full charge of
the party machinery. Wnen that
time comes the people will be on the
right side—on the side of the man
who will guarantee protection to the
masses against the rapacious policy
that has huilt up monstrous trmts in
violation of law. And Mr. Bryan will
be the leader of the people In their
light,"

Night Watch at Court House.
it was currently reported about
town today that the county Commis-
sioners had placed a night watch at
the court house to guard against fire
or any other monkeying with the
valuable records. The records of the
Commissioners don't show any order
for such a guard, but It Is possible
that the guard was employed by the
Commissioners outside of the regular
meeting last week. The Wavk be-
