OFFICIAL CITY PAPER
OFFICIAL COUNTY PAPER
At Kansas City during the
building of dikes on the Raw
river, a large quantity of dyna-
mite was exploded, blowing
rocks high in the air. One of
these rocks weighing 15 pounds
and descending from a great
height struck a negro workman
on the cranium, with the result
that he has since been bereft
of speech. Some of 'he great-
est scientific facts are learned
by accident.—Eagle.
in which a total ot over a hun-
dred persons lost their lives.
The three men are being hurried
across the country to Los An-
geles for trial, great secrecy
being maintained as to their
route and movements. A large
quantity of dynamite was found
in the building in which John
McNamara was arrested in a
vault of which he was supposed
to have exclusive control.—
Press.
We are having reasonably ex-
citing times these days; the bass
ball season is in full blast; an
extra session of Congress with a
reciprocity measure up for de-
bate, promises some heat; the
Lorimer investigation is again
on hotter than ever; Detective
Burns, has stirred up several
nests of hornets etc, and with
the Mexican revolution, we
wont have to die of ennui, unless
we insist upouit. In Oklahoma
we have one or two matters in
the making that will furnish
food for gossip at least, and will
put us on the newspaper map
for a day or two anyway.
in convincing the people of the
deadliness of the work of the
house fly. His latest word to
the public along the line of best
ways to rid the premises of such
pests, is that the flies do not
like blue paint or hop vines,
and the moral is. plant hop
vine around the barn, sheds and
kitchen, and paint the kitchen
dining room and bed room blue.
Doctor Crumbine is recognized
authqrity on the fly his habits
and habitat, and on his destruc-
tion, and his advice is usually
followed by those who care to
be rid of flies.
also the old section, and it was the
sense at least of those who addressed
the chair that Blackwell should vote
unanimously for the amendment. The
matter of the expense of drum corps
for G. A. R. was referred to finance
committee, and it was decided that
funds must at once be raised suffi-
cient to meet expense of entertaining
G. A. R. Other matters of more or
less importance were discussed, and
adjournment was made at 10 o’clock.
The Southwestern Gas Co. of
Ponca City has been granted a
21 year franchise by the city' of
Enid to supply that city with
natural gas from the Ponca City
field. This means that the com-
pany will spend half a million
dollars in laying a pipe line
from here to Enid aud piping
the towns aloug the line. Ton
kawa has already granted the}
company a franchise and it is
expected the other towns aloDg1
the line will do likewise. It isj
probable that after leaving Ton- |

Blackwell Again Victorious
In the inter-collegiate oratorical
contest held at Stillwater Monday,
April 24, O. L. Gibson of O. B. C.
won the first prize, and R. W. Nelson
of Enid, second place.
There were six contestants, one
from each of the following colleges:
O. C. U., O. V., and Kendall college, at
Tulsa: A. & M. college at Stillwater,
and O. B. C.
Mr. Gibson’s was "The Battle Royal”
and secured first place in everything.
It is an honor that he may well feel
proud of. and one that brings much
credit to the O. B. C., as well as to
our city.
Mr. Gibson will represent the state
of Oklahoma in the inter-state con-
test to be held at Greenville, Texas
Tlie winner here will represent his
district in the national contest to be
held later. We believe Mr. Gibson to
capable of representing this great
state of ours at Greenville, Texas,
••>nd ultimately he will bring national
oratorical honors to the city of Black-
veil.—Visitor.

Commercial Club Mcelinir
The regular monthly meeting of
the Commercial club Monday night of |
this week was fairly well attended, i
and the president and vice president I
both being absent, Mr. A. G. West
was called to the chair. Secretary:
Jones read several interesting com- >
munications. and the matter of the j
entertainment of the G. A. IL in May (
was pretty thoroughly discussed.
Prof. Courtney of the O. B C., repre-
Lhe Athletic association, ask- j

equipment, amounting to $43.90; a j
ronmilttee of three appointed to meet

from such sales being sufficient to pay ;

Mirrors Used to Reflect Street.
In continental towns one frequently
sees a mirror at the side of a window
so placed that people In the room may
see reflected therein the view up or
down the street. In some bygone peri-
ods of English street architecture it
was customary to bay almost all the
windows at least enough to enable the
occupants of the houses to look aloug
the streets.—Craftsman.
Queer Marital Relatione.
Curious marriage customs prov?,.

the women are polygamous, and t!>.\
several brothers possess one wife in
common. The custom Is said to be
due to the poverty of the people. The
children bear the names or all Un-
husbands of the mother. How such a
custom as to names works out in
practice it is difficult to comprehend
Tbe divorce customs are very simple.
If Hie husband establishes that his
wife is a bad cook it is a sufficient
ground; and on the wife's side, if she
can show that her husband fails to
provide for the upkeep of the house
she obtains relief.
