Edmond Enterprise.
Although the weather was freez-
ing cold lilst evening an unusu-
ally large crowd turned out to
witness the mysterious perform-
ance given by Laurant, the magi-j
cian, and there can he no question
about it being mysterious, and of
course we will not try to explain
just how it was done. Laurant is
indeed a man of mystery and for
nearly two hours he amused his
audience With divers tricks ,that
the most careful and watchful eye
could not fathom.
It is openly expressed tljat a re-
turn engagement with this great
magician*is mpst ^tesircd.
The next number of the*"course
will be Edward Amhfrst Ott, Lec-
turer.

might say in Oklahoma, has just
been completed by Mr. P. II.
Burks of this city, and anyone who
doubts the above statement should
step into the Clark building, on
Second Street, where Mr. T. G.
Bell is installing one of the most
up-to-date restaurants in the state.
The metal ceiling of the ground
floor room has been cleaned and
retouched. The walls are all de-
corated in pannels of a most beau-
tiful design. A brown color effect
is carried out with both wall paper
and paint, which gives the entire
room a most pleasing and restful
appearance, and it is easy to see
that an artist of ability has decor-
ated the room. Edmond people
should feel proud that they have
a man, permanently located here,
who can turn out the class of
work to be seen at the Clark huild-
ing.
Mr. Bell informs us that he will
have his restaurant ready for the
public in a very short time, and
that neither pains nor money will
F ] be spared to make his place of
business thoroughly modern and
up-to-date, and as this is one of
the badly needed concerns of Ed-
mond Mr. Bell is assured of a most
liberal patronage.

A New Year's message,
invited.
All are
Earthquake Disaster Lessons.
Of "Two Merry Tramps" many
plensing things have been said bj
the critics, not only in the larger
cities but in the night stands as
well, during the past season where
'Two .Merry Tramps" have been
presented, about Wood & Ward's
production. The play being strictly
a musical comedy with three acts
and a bevy of pretty girls.
The title of the piece is some-
what misleading, but it is only the
title, for from the rise to the fall
of the curtain it is just one of the
cleanest, jolliest and livliest oi
comedies that has enlivened the
musical field. Never for an in-
stant does it bring a blush, but in
stead brings laughter that is irre
pressible. For the past eight se^
sons it has played to packed
houses in the middle west and ap
peals to the elite of fashion and all
is refined.
The comedy is natural, the uiu ic
catchy, the scenery magnificent,
the costumes gorgeous and the
cast all that is desired.
Wood & Ward have carefully
selected their company for his or
her ability, among the members
will be found Miss Melia M. Cout-
chie, Margaret McDonald, Corine
Mc-Donald, who are playing the
principle feminine roles.
This attraction will be at Hiatt's
Opera Hons? Saturday, Jan. 9.
The terrible earthquake disaster
in Italy and Sicily last week fur-
nished Rev. Wardner the theme
for his Sunday evening Sermon at j
the Presbyterian church. His text
was, Hebrews 13:24, "They of
Italy Salute You" and after
sketching briefly the events of this
the greatest disaster of modern
times he brought to the large con-
gregation assembled four saluta-
tions of warning and admonition
from stricken Reggio and Messina ;
first, that "whatsoever a man sow-
eth, that shall he also reap," for
if men will build cities in earth-
quake zones, they must not com-
plain if earthquakes destroy their
cities; second, the catastrophe re-
peals man's real weakness and in-
significance and tends to remind1
man of God; third, death is the
common lot of all, for "here we
have no continuing city, but we
seek one to come;" and fourth,
the catastrophe comes as a power-
ful picture of the last judgment at
the end of time, warning men in
time of life to prepare for death,
and get right with God. In re-
sponse to the pastor's invitation
one young lady came forward and
confessed Christ.

NORMAL NOTES.
About twenty-five new students
enrolled the first of the year.
Prof. Conder was a business vis-
itor in Guthrie the first of the
week.
Prof. C. B. Blake, of the Normal
at Weatherford, was visiting in
Edmond last week.
Prof. O. W. Jeffries, of the
Northwestern State Normal school,
was in Edmond last week, visiting
friends.
Nearly all of the students who
were here before the holidays are
back, besides a goodly number of
new ones.
The Freshmen are to have
charge of the Vista in February,
and an extra good paper can be
expected for that month.
President McLauchlin returned
on No. 18, last Thursday, from
Shawnee, where he had been at-
tending the Teachers' Association.
President McLauchlin conducted
the devotional exercises, and gave
a short talk on the school motto,
at assembly Monday morning.
Walter L. Ross, President of
Northwestern Normal, and wife,
were the guests of Mrs. and Miss
Overstreet during the latter part
of the holidays.
We didn't think about Prof. J.
II. Hughes as a candidate for the
track team, until we saw him try-
ing to catch the 8 o'clock train
Sunday morning.
