A Touching Tribute.
.Hon. L. C. Headly in his Ponca
City Dally Courier of Sept 29, awak-
en* most tender memories by the
following generous tribute to the dead,
•nd loving mention of the living.
"The editor of this paper desires to
extend his sincere sympathy to Gov.
Andy Felt In the death of his son,
Edward R. Felt, publisher of the Ed-
mond Enterprise, which occurred last
Saturday after a long illness of typhoid
fever. Years and years ago, the writer
then a mere boy, worked for Andy Felt
in the office of the Waterloo, Iowa,
Courier, and learned to love and re-
spect him as a man worthy of every
confidence, and his steadfast friend-
ship through all the intervening years
has been very dear to us. Ed was a
splendid boy, the pride and hope of his
father's heart, and his untimely death
adds a heavy weight ot sorrow to his
declining years. The hand of Pro-
vidence has been laid heavily upon our
old friend, and as he stands on the
shore of that mysterious sea which
never yet has borne on any wave the
shadow of a returning sail, may the
light from the other shore brighten his
pathway to the "city not made with
hands."
The Enterprise assures Mr. Head-
ley that his tender mention of the dead
Editor Is most warmly appreciated
because of the long and unwavering
friendship existing between the Editor
of the Courier and the writer of this
for the past thirty years.
He Was A Hard Worker.
Mr. Felt located in Edmond Feb-
urary of 1901. and started The Enter-
prise which from the first became one
of the best country weeklies of the
Southwest. He was a hard worker
and never lost a chance to advance
himself or his paper. He was known
all over the country, and his funeral
was the largest attended ever occuring
In Edmond. The funeral took place
Sunday at 3 p. m. The procession
was led by the Edmond band to
"Grace Lawn" cemetery. The floral
designs were beautiful. —Edmond

ED FELT DEAD
P«pular Edmond Editor Succumbs to
Typhoid Fever
The sad Intelligence was recieved
here yesterday afternoon that Ed. Felt,
one of the best known newspaper men
and editors in the southwest died
yesterday morning after a three weeks'
seige of typhoid fever. It Is unoerstood
that the funeral will take place from
the home at Edmond this morning
under the auspices of the Masonic
lodge, of which Mr. Felt was a mem-
ber.
Mr. Felt's untimely demise will be
sincerely regretted by a large number
of warm friends in Guthrie and all parts
of Oklahoma and Kansas, where he
was widely and favorably known. He
has been engaged in newspaper work
since boyhood and his Edmond
Enterprise which he established
about five years ago has been one of
the solid and influential weekly papers
of the Territory. He has also been
conducting the Spencer News for a
number of months.
Prior to his location at Edmond Mr
Felt was employed by the American
Type Foundry as a traveling sales-
man and during his connection with
that institution he formed a wide
acquaintance in all parts of the terri-
tory.
He was the son of former lieutenant
governor Felt, of Kansas for many
years the editor of the Atchison Cham-
pion. It was on the Champion that
young Ed received his first lessons In
the craft that he afterward became an
expert in the practice of, and his las-
sons were certainly well learned.
While never a brilliant writer Ed Felt
had a solid, pithy way of saying things
that made his writings widely quoted
and his publications have always been
known for the clean and business like
manner in which they have been con-
ducted. In fact perhaps as high a
tribute as he himself would wish for
would be that he hit the mark.
In his death Edmond looses a good
citizen and an able editor and Okla-
homa a young newspaper man whose
future was bright with promise.—The
Oklahoma State Capital (Guthrie),
Sunday, Sept. 27th.

Death Of E. R. Felt.
We are in receipt ot the sad intellig-
ence that Brother E. R. Felt, chair-
man of the excutive committee, died
at his home at Edmond, Oklahoma.,
early Saturday morning, Sept., 26,
after a four weeks illness from typhoid
fevor. Brother Felt was editor and
publisher of The Edmond Enterprise,
a young newspaper man of unusual
ability, well and favorably known in Ok-
lahoma and Kansas. He was the son
of former Lieutenant-Governor Felt of
Kansas, in which state he spent his
boyhood coming to Oklahoma three
years ago. Brother Felt was elected
chairman of the executive committee
at the grand lodge at Shawnee. In his
death the association has lost a valu-
able member, a true and stanch friend,
an able councilor and Oklahoma an
able Editor and a useful citizen. The
Searchlight association extends its
heartfelt sympathy to his bereived
family and sorrowing friends.
