Big Excursion
Is This Week.
Many Planning on Taking G. A.
Trip to Denver Saturday.
In answer to many Inquiries, the
Wave states thai the g. a. Ii. ex-
cursion to Denver leaves Enid at 5:30
p. m., Saturday night. It ha* been
daily advertised in all the papers and
with'numerous ^p.sters, but many
Btill seem ignorant of the date.
Fourteen coaches have been con-
tracted for hjnid, and the contract
specifies that not more than fifty
passengers can be put in any one
coach. Hence there will be an
absence of the nsual excursion
crowding. No passengers will be
taken after Caldwell is passed, and
the train will go directly through
from that point.
A large number of Enid people are
going on this excursion. Special
rates have been made to towns near
Enid, and it is expected that large
delegations from these towns will
join the excursion train at this point.
The Wave will have a reporter on
the train and give all the news to its
readers.
The new office fixtures for the
°rantz hotel arrived today and were
once installed. They are finished
quarter sawed oak highly polished,
ith bronze bank windows and gates
ttaihed, and marble base. The ho-
el lobby has not jet been fully finish-
When It Is done it will be excell-
d by none In the territory.
Brick Plant Busy.
[The large number of new and good
zed brl'ck buildings now under con-
•ruction ana contracted for in Enid
t caused a rush of orders at the
J ck plant which taxes that prosper-
institution to its utmost. In fact
i-t entire output of the factory is
| gaged ahead for some time.
No more pioBperous indication of
^he city's growth could be had than
the present demand for building
;lck.

Produce High in Enid.
Local Market not Fully Supplied and
Winter Prices Prevail.
The current price on outter and
eggs at the local retail stores is re-
markably high for thit season of ithe
year. Eggs are selling mostly at 20
cents and butter at 25 cents. Such
prices In midsummer are almost un-
knowu, especially when the country
Is well stocked with poultry and cat-
tle and grass is more abundant than
usual.
The establishment of creameries
ha" greatly advanced the price of
dairy products. Farmers prefer sell-
ing the cream because it avoids much
hard labor necessitated in making
butter, and the financial returns are
about the same. At present there is
hardly enough country butter coming
in to supplv the local demand, and
package butter is being sold, al-
though theothei is preferred.
Not many moons ago eggs were a
drug on the market at this time of
year and frequently brought only
five to eight cents per dozen. The
establishment of large export pro-
duce houses here has revolutionized I
the egg and poultry market and
while the result is very beneficial to
the producer it materially increases;
the cost of living of the consumer.
Enid is a much better market today !
for the farmer than the surrounding |
towns. The thrifty country matron
finds that she can realize double the
amount here for her produce which
she receives other places aid at the
same time buy for less.
A Merry Evening.
Evidently the people of Enid were
out for the good of their health last
night. The band concert was attend-
ed by an immense crowd of persons
on foot and in carriages. A party of
tally-ha merry makers kept
the air resonant with horns and
shouts, and several minor attractions
around the sqnare helped to swell the
noise even if discord was produced.
All over the city large numbers ol
carriages bowled along, their occu-
pants seemingly enjoying the beauti-
ful atmosphere. Withal It was a
splendid evening much enjoyed.
Mangled In Machine
Clarence Dudley Caught id Cylinder
Of Thresher. Four Iron
Pins Through His
Leg.
A terrible accident occured south-
west of this city yesterday afternoon
which came near sending a human
being to an awful death through the
whirling cylinder of a threshing ma-
chine. Clarence Dudley was tending
the separator for Sam Miller's thresh-
ing outfit when something went
wrong with the cylinder and. an in-
vestigation was necessary. The ma-
chine was stopped, the cap taken off
the cylinder and the obstruction
removed therefrom by Dudley. Be-
fore starting again he desired also to
attend to some . other parts of the
machine nearer the rear end, and
leaving the big wooden cap off the
cylinder he walked back and made
the necessary repairs. Then he
returned to the front fend intending
to replace the cylinder cap and
proceed with the threshing-
Just as he reached the cap the
engine was started, the cylinder be-
gan to revolve, and missing his foot-
ing he stepped squarely into the iron
teeth, which gnashed into his leg.
The machinery had not attained
much momentum however and as the
accident was at once observed the
cylinder was almost instantly stopped
Mr. Dudley was pinned fast with four
big iron teeth driven through his left
leg. One entered near the knee, an-
other through the calf of the leg, a
third through the heel and a fourth
through the instep. It took some
time to get the unfortunate victim
loose, and be was obliged to remain in
his piqned condition until some of the
machinery bad been taken apart and
the pressure released.
Mr. Dudley was brought to Enid for
attention and is in a fair way to re-
covery unless unforseen complications
et it.
Show the Visitor.
Nocity of size and enterprise should
be without a committee, e\ en if there
is but one on it, to see that "the
stratiger within the gates" worthy it
be welcomed and shown the residence
and business attractions. The dispo-
sition is too often "to take him in"
to bis immediate sorrow and occasion-
ally lasting regret. Our citizens
could profitably employ some one of
integrity, courtesy and goo;1 judg-
ment to get busy with the visitor
here in a right way.
Pieuty of Antum i Amusement.
Ringling Bros, wonderful three
ringed worlds wonder shows will be in
Enid Sept. 30. Pawnee Bill's Wild

WHEAT LOWER.
Dr. Buck's Tent
The sftows of Dr. Buck, recently
advertised, are now In full blast in

people.
Various kln4« of vandeville attrac-
tions are shown every night to the
amusement of the fun seeking audi-
ence.
Mrs. Chas Piper gave a tally-ho
party last nlRht to about 20 friends.
Mr. Geo. F. Southard of Southard,
O. T., was 1b the city today.
Wheat has been gradually going
down for the past few weeks. It is
now 65 cents. This year's crop is
testing very poor. Most of it runs
about 56 pounds per bushel buc some
| came in today that went as low as 5a
pounds.
| Oats are not coming in in any quan-
tity. Dealers are offering from 25
cents to 29 cents depending on the
demand locally.
Eclipse Was Brief.
A partial eclipse of the sun occur-
red this moaning about snnrise. It
was caused by the passing of the moon
between the sun and the earth and
consequent obstruction of part of
the sun's light. Eight hundred miles
farther north the eclipse was com-
plete and total darkness prevailed for
about two hours. Here the shadow
lasted only about twenty minutes.
DIED IN HER SCHOOL ROOM.
An Indian Territory Teacher Started
to Punish a Pupil.
Wilburton, I. T., Aug., 28—Miss
L.ly Grayson, whose home was in
Calyin, I. T. died today in her school
room et Wecharity, where she was
employed as a teacher. She left her
seat to punish a pupil when she fell
to the floor. The pupils ran from the
building and called for help. Mtss
Grayson was dead when help arriv-
ed.

The Chicago Tribune says that the
late Teamsters strike in Chicago cost
all parties concerned $15,456,500.
Next to actual war a big American
strike is oneof the worst troubles
that can touch the business world.
The Wave job department has just
turned out 6050 copies of the Garfield
County Fair Association premium
list, being a 100 page book or pam-
phlet representing 605000 Impressions
This was the largest job ever turned
out of an Enid job printing shop.
Frank Bradfield has mailed 3300 of
the fair premium lists to farmers of
Garfield county which is presumed to
be very nearly a complete list. How
ever any farmer who has been miss-
ed can secure a copy by applying at
the Wave office.
Enid is going ahead at a rapid pace
withoutany assistance from our citi-
zens. But there will come a time
sooner or later when strong hands
and brave men will be needed. Ok-
lahoma City experienced that a year
ago. Guthrie is experiencing it now.
Organization and unity of action will
then be a vital necessity.
