The Fact Remains
No amount of misrepresentation by the
peddlers of alum baking powders, no jug-
gling with chemicals, or pretended analysis,
or cooked-up certificates, or falsehoods of
any kind, can change the fact that
Royal Baking Powder
has been found by the olli-
cial examinations to be of the
highest leavening efficiency,
free frosn alum, and of absolute
purity and wholesomtmess.
Royal Baking Powder is indispensable
for ma'.ing finest and most economi al food.
Married—M«ri:lc-Mi:s?IIer
From Saturday's Daily.
Mr. and Mrs. Fred Merkle ar-
rived on Thursday from Pawhus-
ka, Okla., 011 a visit to Mr. Mer-
kle's parents, Mr. and Mrs. John
Merkle. west of the city. They
will remain a few days and then
leave for New Mexico, where Mr.
Merkle is a Forester in the em-
ploy of the government.
They were married at Pawhus-
ka on Nov. 18,1913, the bride be-
ing Miss Crete Museller, daugh-
ter of Judge and- Mrs. A. C.
Museller. She formerly attend-
ed the University, and is remem-
bered most favorably by those
who knew her here. She has
been teaching for some years.
She is a charming and accom-
plished young lady, with those
qualities that make good wives,
and we feel sure Fred has drawn
a prize in the marriage lottery. |
And he deserves it. He has
grown to manhood in this locali-
ty, and all who know Fred Mer-
kle recognize him as a young1
man of sterling worth, thorough-
ly reliable and with those quali-
ties which make for success. He
will go to the top in his profes-
sion, we feel sure, and with their
numerous friends The Transcript
joins in best wishes.

Oklahoma City High, 17.
Norman High, 0.
Oklahoma City succeeded yes-
terday in achieving an ambition
she has cherished for ten or
twelve years, viz: For her high
school team to defeat the Nor-
man high school. She is now
j saying: "Now let the servant de-
part in peace, for we have seen
the glory of our salvation."
She came down yesterday,
backing up her team with some
600 rooters—and took back Nor-
man's scalp, the score being 17 to
0.
This, too, is Norman's first
game in all her history in which
she did not score, which makes
it all the more grevious to bear.
But it is all right. Norman
cannot win every time and al-
ways, and a different story will
be told in 1915. Trouble with us
was we were getting to be too
certain, and really needed a little
setback.
It was a great game, anyhow,
and the 1500 spectators enjoyed
every minute of it. Coach J. C.
Thompson, former captain of the
Oklahoma University team, now
coach of- the Oklahoma high
school, received numerous con-
gratulations. He has sure built
up a strong machine, and they
showed their training.
Death of J. C. Wails
From Saturday's Daily.
Unable to withstand the ef-
j fects of the gas on his system,
received in Pawhuska some
weeks ago, Mr. J. C. Wails suc-
cumbed at 7:15 a. m. today, the
immediate cause of his death be-
ing uremia or disease of the kid-
neys. It will be remembered he
was found unconscious in his
room at Pawhuska some weeks
ago, and physicians had to work
on him for many hours before he
could be brought to life.
He came home a few days lat-
er, and was able to be about the
city, but never fully recovered.
A few days ago he suffered a
serious relapse and grew steadily
worse until death put an end to
his sufferings.
Mr. Wails was in his 51st year
and was a native of Council
Bluffs, Iowa. He removed from
there to Kansas, and came to Ok-
lahoma in the fall of 1889, set-
tling on a claim in the Ten Mile
Flat and later removing to Nor-
man. He was always active in
civic matters, and represented
Cleveland county in the legisla-
ture and Norman on the city
council. He leaves a widow ai.d
seven children, with whom the
entire community deeply sym-
pathises. The children are two
daughters and five sons, viz:
Minnie and Ruth, and Jay W.,
Otto, Charlie, Theo and Elmer,
all of whom were present at his
bedside in his last hours.
The funeral will be held at the
Church of Christ on Sunday af-
ternoon at 3 o'clock, Elder J. T.
Scott conducting the services.
The W. O. W. will have charge
of the funeral. Mr. Wails be-
longed to the W. O. W., A. O. U.
W., and Woodmen Circle, and
carried some $5000 insurance in
them.

From Monday's Daily
Solemn and impressive serv-
ices marked the funeral of Mr.
J. C. Wails, held yesterday after-
noon in the M. E. Church South,
that edifice being crowded with
citizens and friends and mem-
bers of the secret orders to
which he belonged, gathered to
pay their last sad respects. Rev.
J. T. Scott, an old friend of the
deceased, officiated at the
church and spoke feelingly of the
deceased1 as a devoted husband
and father, as a good citizen, as
a man who had filled conspicu-
ously positions to which he had
been called by the vote of the
people, and one who had been
honored by high positions in the
Orders to which he belonged.
Mr. S. L. Johnson, G. M. W. of
the Oklahoma A. O. U. W„ also
made appropriate and feeling re-
marks. A male quartette con-
sisting of Messrs. Hardie, Thom-
as, Curtis and Husted sang sev-
eral beautiful selections.
At the cemetery, Norman
Lodge W. O. W. had charge of
the ceremonies, with the uni-
form team acting as guard of,
honor. Head Consul Swank con-
ducted the impressive funeral
ceremonies of the Order. The
floral tributes were very nu-
merous and beautiful, the grave
being a mass of flowers and
evergreens.
Mr. Wails was a member of
the Grand I| Iges of both the
A. O. U. W. and W. O. W.. and
numerous grand lodge officers
of both Orders were present at
1 he funeral, among them being
S. L. Johnson. G. M. W. of the
A. O. U. W.: W. T. Welsh, grand
'•ecorder. and P. G. M. W David-
son of Oklahoma City.

From Saturday's Daily.
Last week E. 0. Whiitwell of
the Farmers Store closed a big
deal for a wholesale stock of
merchandise in Oklahoma City.

house had died and the stock

iery in the stock. The stock se-
cured amounted to $9500, Mr.
Whitwell trading his fine farm
west of Moore in on the deal.
The trade was consumated
i through the agency of Jno. S.
Allan of this city and C. L. Wil-
son of Oklahoma City.
Whitwell's Farmers Store is
selling goods so rapidly that it!
must buy in big quantities, and 1
goods recently traded for arei
for the most part in the original |
boxes sent out from New York t
wholesale houses to wholesale
houses in Oklahoma City—not i
second-hand or shelf-worn stock,
such as is picked up from bank-!
rupt retail stocks.

ball players came home from
Stillwater last night bringing
with them the 15th consecutive,
scalp tliey have taken from the;
A. & M. college, that being the
number of games they have won
from the Agricultural college.
And n all these games the Agri-
cullu-al college lias .failed to
make a score; a "goosi* egg" be-1
ing their portion in every game. !
H,\ the Aggies are "getting
t here, for this was the hardest;
tight the University boy a have
had, and the least score they
na> made with the ^li"water,
team. The winning touch lown
was 'nade by Reeds n fie sec-
ond quarter, but in every other1
quarter the Aggies helo like a
stnne wall.
There was an excellent atten-
dance. the special train from
•Norman taking in something like

ious, a splendid feeling existing.
From Wednesday's daily.
Night Watch Ed Mays was
called to the residence of Mrs.
Wash Myers Saturday night by
news that Jesse Myers was en-
deacoring to make a rough house
with his wife and mother-in-law.
Jesse resisted arrest, and in the
fracas that ensued was hit over
the head and badly damaged by
Marshal Mays, who received a
hard blow on the chin from a
hammer in the hands of Jesse.
He finally succeeded in landing
Jesse in jail, with a charge of as-
sault against him.
Wilson-Sayre Wedding
The daily papers are full of the
wedding of Miss Jessie Woodrow
Wilson and Francis B. Sayre,
which was solemnized in the
White House yesterday at 4:30
p. m. It was an elaborate func-
tion, but simple and unostenta-
tious as compared with similar
occasions in the White House. It
was of nation-wide moment, and
from all parts of the country go
up congratulations to the young
couple and best wishes for health
and happiness.
The wedding was performed
by Dr. Sylvester Beach, the
bride's old pastor at Princeton,
una President Wilson gave the
bride away to the man of her
choice. From all reports of
him, she has chosen wisely, for
he is a man much after the make-
up of the President himself.
At the request of the bride
herself the old-fashioned "love,
honor and obey" ceremony was
used, which indicates her dislike
tor new-fashioned ideas.
