Washington, D. C., May 25.—Au
era of unprecedented prosperity Is in
store for the husky young state of
Oklahoma and within the next year
or so, millions of dollars will be set
afloat in the baby commonwealth.
The eyes of the United States are
already on Oklahoma and after the
census figures have ben published
and it is found that a Inrger per-
centage of gal nin population has
been made by Oklahoma than any
other state, with the possible excep-
tion of New York, there will be an-
other rush to the land of opportun-
ity, and instead of a pell-mell
scramble of adventure-loving men in
bearch of a homestead, it will be a
steady flow of capital]ists In Pullman
cars, all anxious to take a hand in
the development of the railroads, tha
unknown oil and gas fields, the coal
zlnv, lead and asphalt mines, and the
other marvelous natural resources
of what is destined to become the
greatest state in the American un-
ion.
Next month over $4,000,000 will
he paid out to the Eastern Cherokee
claimants in Oklahoma, nearly all
of whom live in the eastern part of
the state. Congress is about to pro-
vide for the sale of the segregated
surface of 550,000 acres of coal, as-
phalt and unallotted lands in the
Choctaw and Chickasaw nations,
and this will mean an aditional
$5,000,000 or $6,000,000 turned loose-
in the eastern part of the state and
it is but a question of time until the
segregated coal and asphalt rights In
the same two nations will also be
sold and the money distributed
among the regularly enrolled mem-
bers of the tribes, which will mean
the putting into circulation of $25,-
000,000 or more; then there will he
the Creek equalization payment of
several million dollars and the distri-
buation of tribal funds of the Osage
nation, which will amount to many
additional millions.
Within the next few years 'between
$40,000.^00 and $50,000,000 will be
turned l&se on the east side of Ok-
lahoma alone, and tho west side of
the state will have to look well to
its laurels. The feature development
in Oklahoma will be on the old In-
dian Territory portion of the state.

The store of the New York Brokers
was broken Into some time last
night by some very clever Jimmy ar-
tists. Up to this time the police
have no clue as to who the burglars
were. One thing is evident, however,
they were not amateurs, for some in-
strument made especially for the
purpose was forced between the two
cashes of a window where they unite
and the instrument turned in some
way so that it unlocked the window
in New Mexico, and in speaking of
the matter to a reporter of the Wave-
Democrat, stated that the affair was
greatly exaggerated by the press
reports that were sent out.
Mr. Bailey said: "The reported up-
rising, said to be the greatest In
years, was only In the fertile Imagi-
nation of the enterprising newspaper
men of that section of the country,
and was practically without any
foundation. .

this morning in Miners' hall, and
quickly spread to adjoining buildings,

This encroachment of the whites on

the homesteaders built fences across
toads laid out by the Indians, the
Irdians cut the fences and a wordy
war ensued, but 110 violence oc-
cured.
' I only speak of this matter,'' said
Mr. Bailey, "owing to the fact that
such reports hurt Immigration to our
territory as the outsiders will bellev?
that we are still uncivilized, which
is fax from true.''
(Wave-Democrat Special.)
Plaatsburg, N. Y'., May 25.—The Ho-

ATTORNEY GENERAL WILL
OPPOSE FURTHER DELAY.
i Case .Now Set for June 15, at Which
Time a Trial on the Merits Will
Probably He Had.
Shortly after 3 o'clock yesterday
afternoou Judge Garber, in the dls
trlct court, sustained the motion of
the attorneys of the Water6-Pierce
Oil company for a continuance of the
"trust-buster" suit now pending
against them in this county.
The affidavit upon which the mo-
tion for continuance was based alleg-
ed that Clay Arthur Pierce, a material
witness, was seriously ill at his home
in St. Louis and that his father, H.
Clay Pierce, could not leave his bed
side, and a continuance was prayed
until June 15th, in order that these
witnesses might be present and give
testimony. The affidavit conforming
with the statute in such cases, Judge
Garber did not hesitate in sustaining
It and making the order of continu-
ance.
The motion of Attorney Genera!
West, asking the defendants to show
cause why their pleading should not
be stricken from the files, and that
they bo estopped from filing a motion
for a continuance of the case, owing
to their failure to comply with re-
cent orders of the court, was over
ruled.
Shortly after the continuance was
granted Attorney General West state-i
that he would strenuously oppose any
further attempt on the part of the
defendant company to delay the hear-
ing of the capo on merely technical
grounds a.^4 if within Ills power
wculd force The Issue to a trial at th
convening of the district court on
June 15.
This case was started something
over three years ago, and the delay
and continuances have been so nuni
erous that the attorney general Is of
the opinion that the defendant's at-
torneys aTe indulging in horse play,
and do not want a trial of the merits
of the matter.

"My Wife's Gone to the Country" and
"I Wonder Who's Kissing Her
Now?" Causes Coldness Be-
tween Former
Friends.
Now, wouldnt that Jar you?
Would you have thought that tho
mere whistling of the bars of one
of the popular melodies would sever
the ties of friendship between two
life-time friends?
Well, this is just what happened
last evening between two well known
citizens of Enid who have been
friends and neighbors for years, and
now In going to and from their meals
they walk ou opposite sides of the
streets.
The circumstances that led up to
the rupture between the forme-
friends were thusiy:
The wife of one of the gentlemen
.yesterday left 011 her summer vaca-
ion and las night th two neighbors
strolled down town together and stop-
ped in a cigar store for their eve-
ning's cigar. After they had made
their purchase and were leaning over
the counter enjoying their smoke and
watching the rings from their frag-
rant Havanas ascend heavenward, the
gentleman whose wife was away,
softly whistled a rew bars of that
popular melody, "My Wifes Gone to
the Country." His friend, who Is
also somewhat musically Inclined,
broke in with "I Wonder Who's
Kissing Her Now?" and
Now the former fast friends don't
speak.
Strange, isn't it, that some persons
are so sensitive?
