Bonds Probably Carry By Several
Majority.
At the bond election held In Oklaho-
ma county Tuesday. Edmond gave the
jail proposition a small majority and
defeated the question of $10,000 to
furnish the court house.
The complete returns from the
whole county are not yet In and the
result will not be deflnatelv known
until after the county commissioners
canvass the vote Friday. It Is thought
that both propositions will carry, though
by a small majority.
The vote In the cities and county
was comparatively light. The precincts
In the count) were almost solid against
the issuance, while Oklahoma City
was almost solid in favor
*
Everyone speak a good word for
Edmond.
*
The whole south Is alarmed lest the
Yellow Jack assumes the proportion it
did in 1893.
The government has got to a point
where every official has got to have a
spy to keep them from grafting.
*
It is a pity that the women who fur-
nished the money to carry Bluebeard
Hoch's case to the supreme court did
not fall and break their neck when she
started for the jail. " 'here ls a man
in the United States who needs hang-
ing It Is Hoch.
*
The Chandler papers of each Issue
tell of the grafts being worked on the
farmers of Lincoln county by grocery
and steel range people. Keep your
eoes open and see that Enterprise
readers are not bitten by these graft-
ers.
*
Advices from Anadarko state that
a man with a "Foxy Grandpa" adver-
tising scheme worked the merchants
of that village and then departed alter
having parted a lot of suckers from a
few sheckles each. Beware lest he
pay Edmond a visit.
• Attention Old Soldiers."
We wish to see every member of

As a result of several meetings
which the farmers living; west of Ed-
mond have been holding we are almost
sure to have a rural telephone line
connecting nearly every section of land
in the district west of this city. Last
week a representative of the Pioneer
Telephone people met In this city and
arrangements were almost completed
where by the telephones will be con-
nected with the city exchange of the
Pioneer company. The rural tele-
phone and the rural route will place the
farmers almost at the door of our little
city and will be a great commercial as
well as social advantage over the towns
on the west of us. More than a year
ago the Pioneer people constructed a
line 13 miles west of Edmond which
has proven a great convenience to the
residents along the line.

R N. A. and W. A.
On 1 uesday evening of this week,
while the Woodman were quietly work-
ing, their guards were overpowered by
thirty Royal Neighbors, who took pos-
session of the camp.
Their program committee had pre-
pared a few songs and recitations, but
the drill given by their team showed
good training and much practice.
Refreshments were served, but they
were not content to go yet, so a num
ber of games and jokes were played.
Ask Dr. Flesher, O. N. Wetser or
any of the Woodmen about it.

Wednesday morning Challie Fors-
ter was riding on a wagon load of
brick and In turning the corner of a
street his foot was caught between the
wagon bed and the front wheel in a
manner to break several of the bones
below the instep and bruise and strain
that member. He will be laid up for
several days. Dr. J. W. Howard
dressed his injuries and today he Is
resting as easy as can be expected.
