THE MULHALL ENTERPRISE.
FIFTH YEAR.
MULHALL, L05AN COUNTY, OKLAHOMA. FRIDAY, MAY 13, 1898.
With this issue The Entkhimusk
passes into the control of a new
management. The political policy of
the paper will lie soundly republican.
Init not partisan. In addition to tliis
\ve expect to give you the news. For
more information come in and see us
and get acquainted.
My Successors.
Itaving sold out our entire interest
in Tiik Mulhall Enterphjsk to Tom
li. Woosley, we desire to recoinuiend
'Iiik Enterprise and its new editor to
the kindly regard of all our former
p&lrona, and to those who realize that
a town or community without a well-
patronized home paper will not only
soon "go to seed," but the wind will
blow away even the "Heed," and will
leave the old sialic with neither life,
energy, growth or usefulneNs. We
have known Mr, Woosley for several
years, and can recommend him—not
only as a first-class newspaper man—
but as a reliable, pleasant, honorable
Christian gentlemen, and we feel sure
that The Enterprise iu his hands will
fur surpass anything wo may have
been able to develop in it. All sub-
scription accounts have been sold to
Mr. Woosley, who will collect and
receipt for same.
Our real estate, notary and collect
ion business goes to Mr. W. S. Culvert,
who is too well slid favorably known
to need mention. We recommend all
our patrons to him sud bespeak for
him that measure of success which
his well known honesty and ability
merits.
Respectfully yours,
.tames ii. Ncarh.

How suddenly fame comes to some

rousing meeting at Oklahoma City

From the fact that a man wits kill-
ed and two others wounded on elec-
tion day at Tecumseh for being too
vigorous iu supporting a favorite
candidate, and later that a prominent
leader in politics in that town should
commit suicide, will not cause a man
who likes peace to go to Tecumseh to
l uu for office.

neatuess. The hook retails at #2.50

PRODUCTS OF GENIUS.
Bicycle pedals are being fitted witi#
ma^neti&ed plates to attract plates on
the shoes of the rider and hold hds fee* in
place, thus doing away with toe-clips,
which, are the cause of many accidents
to racing men. r
Fowls can be carved more easily by a
new device, nonsisrin# of a clamp which
fastens on the *«dgc of o platter to hold
a spring arm having a screw catnip at
its other end to press against the breast-
bone and hold the bird on the dish.
A new wrench, which locks the jaw
onto the nut, has a lever lying parallel
with the handle which can be raised or
lowered 'to set the jaw, with a toothed
projection which fits in a recess in the
handle to bold the lever after the jaw
is set.
To fasten the mouths of paper bags
a new device, is formed of a strip of
pliable meUU of a length sufficient to
allow of the ends being folded over to
hold the strip in place after it has been
preesed together to clamp the edge® of
the bag mouth.
Gloves can be readily fitted to the
hand by a new device, which has a
(resilient measuring tope arranged in
loop form, with the ends loose, to slide
iu an indicator, and a measuring plate,
upon which the fingers lie when the
hand is fitted in the loop.
An adjustable curtain fixture, which
will hold curtain poles of different
lengths, has a plate screwed to the win-
dow or door frame, with notches cut in
its surface to receive a sliding clamp
and prevent it from slipping backward
and releasing the pole, w; " 1
Noils are not needed to fasten a new
horseshoe to the hoof, the shoe being
divided into two sections pivotally con-
nected, with the upper side of the sec-
tions extending over the hoof to hold
the shoe in place nnd having a remov-
able plate across the front end of the
shoe to cover the clamp which holds the
two sections of the s1kk> together. ^ ,

To prevent the slipping of belt* on
pulleys movable pieces are set in the
wheel rim and held in place by springs,
which allow the pieces to protrude be-
yond the surface of the rim when a cer-

Sign lettering is made easy by a new
device, whieh consists of a spacing dial
having a series of radial points to cor-
respond wiRh the letters to be formed
with a ruling arm working in conjunc-
tion with the dial to (Vtcrmine the
nngle and shape of the different letters
composing the sign.
