A RAIN WORTH MILLIONS.
Two and a Quarter Inches of Uater Palls
This Week, and Everybody is Happy.
A rain which extended from Fort
Worth, Texas, to Newton,, Kans., fell
Monday, Monday night, Tuesday and
Tuesday night, and did millions*)! dol
lars worth of good to the .citizens of the
territory covered by the precipitation.
The rainfall in Hennessey measured 2.2r>
inches, and is tlio heaviest rain that lias
fallen in this section in many months.
Of course everybody is happy. For a
number of weeks the croakers, who al-
ways get. frightened every time it gets a
little dry, have beeij howling about the
wlieaj all being killed and that nothing
would be raised in Oklahoma this year
They will have to'content themselves
now with the talk that some ef the
wheat has been killed,anyway, even if it
did rain. In this, they will probably be
right.. Some of the wheat has no doubt
been damaged, but with plenty of
moisture from now on, a bountiful ciop
| will be harvested. Wheat, that has ap-
^ poured <l«ud, is already beginning to
show up iu good shape, the grass has be-
gun to grow, and nature is taking 011 the
j appearance of spring.
I The rain camo 111 good time. Had it
1 held off much longer, the effect on busi-
ness generally would have been depress-
ing. Many of the merchants were rath-
or despondent at the outlook, as it was.
f and a number of them who had orders
i in the wholesale houses for goods, had
j 'ho orders held up subject to rain by a
I certain time. These merchants will
; now have their goods shipped, and busi-
ness, which has been somewhat dull,
will revive. During a dry spell in this
country nothing will liven things up but
a good rain, and such will be tho case
now. Farmers coming to town all have
« smile on their lace*, the business man
is jolly and good natured, and every-
body generally fells good because it
rained.
The Hennessey Clipper, which has
been published lor so many years by ('
H. Miller, register of deeds, and his son
! Lawrence, was sold last week to X. F.
Daves, formerly publisher of the Beaver
< ity Herald. Mr. Daves will continue
the paper as a Republican organ, and
w ill change the publication back to a
(i-column quarto size. Tlte new pro
prietor has had considerable experience
in newspaper work, and will no doubt do
well with the Clipper.
| Lawrence Miller who has had charge
. of the paper since his father has been In
the register's office at Kingfisher, lias
decided to engage more extensively in
in the real estate and insurance busi-
ness, which he has worked as a side line,
and he and Bob Oliver have rented
rooms in the rear of tho Farmers and
Merchants bank, where they will have
j their office. Personally, and as a busi-
ness, competitor of the I'kesk-Demwkat,
wo have always had it warm, I'riendlv
feeling for Mr. Miller, and we hope that
lie will be successful in adding to the
large amount of money in the real es-
tate business, that he has made as the
publisher of a newspaper.
Fined for Selling Cigarette Papers.
The first conviction in Oklahoma, tin-
•dor tho law passed hv the last legislature
making it illegal to sell, give away or
have anything to do with cigarettes and
cigarette papers occurred at Guthrie last
1 riday, when C. s. F.\or was arrigncd
for selling cigarette papers. He pleaded
guilty and was fined ten dollars and
costs.

Give the Wheat a Chance.
This is the way the Wichita Ragle
talks to the people who are always knock-
ing on the wheat crop prospects:
1 heie is always some of the wlieat
killed. It could not be otherwise. The
farmer sows about one and a third bush-
els of seed wheat to the acre. Suppose
every grain should sprout and grow
which it usually does 111 this valley.
1 hen when tho stalk comes up it be-
gins after a time to stool, and where
there is one stalk there will perhaps be
thirty, but suppose only eight of these
stalks livn and bear seed, ami each head
j has thirty-two grains of wheat, which is
1 not a large head. That would make 2iVi
(times more wheat than the farmer
sowed, and his wheat would make :itl
bushels to the acre. Ono-tenth of that
amount would make a good crop Please
give the wheat crop a chance. It has
long had a habit of surprising the
7>r ~ple."
Chronic Diarrhoea.

Mo , who suffered from Chronic or dys-
entery for thirty-live years, says Cham-

Notice to Pupils and Teachers
The annual examination for pupils
desiring to graduate from the common
school course, will he held on the lust
Thursday and Friday, tho 21th and '2,ith
"f April. Tho teachers will please let
me know as soon as possible the num-
ber of pupils in their schools that ox-
j peel to take the examination. Should
I there be pupils in districts where the
schools have closed that desire 10 take
I lie examination, they will please lei mo
know at once. If you take the examina-
tion and fail to make the required
average of N,">, but make a grade of s.-, 0,
more in any branch, you can retain
those grades and take r l,o examination
in the rest of the branches next year
Also if any feel that they are not' pre-
pared to take the examination iu all the
branches this year, they can be ex-
amined in tho ones they desire and take
'he rest next year. This seems lo me
I to be a very liberal offer, and I sincerely
I trust that as many as can will take the
| examination. A fee of tillv cenis will
I be charged to defray the expenses of the!
examiners while grading the papers I
hope the teachers and pupils will be
prompt in notifying mo so I can select
places to hold the examination. So fa" I
have selected the following -phoes.
District I,, generally known as Heulah
| school: district 31, known as the Sheri-
dan school: district Si), known as the
Cashion school. Also an examination
will be held in the county superintend-
ent's office in K j.iglishor.

A Tip for tf>e Hennessey Merchants.
| "1 ia\\a Republic: farmer livmir
I near Palmyra took a lot of butter 10
j market last week, but alter m int,- every
Store in town was compelled to carry it
back home unsold, and not because r
wasn't good either ft. seems that this
I a rm e r makes a practice of sending i<. a
linn in Chicago for everything lie buys,
and the Palmyra grocers have decided
that he may as wen sell his butter lo
tho same outfit .-And this reminds
tho Herald observes, ••that when the
Baptist ladies held their bazaar recently
they wrote to this Chicago concern and
a similar one in the same city, asking'
for contributions. The lirst letter '
brought no answer, but the second clic- !
ited a reply from one of the Chicago I
houses 10 the effect that they 'gave away '
a great deal in charity, but confined!
t hen'giving to their home 1 own.' Why I
noi allow tliein to make I heir money oil' I
heir. I. i-,(v tr.wn '
