W. G. McDonald of D county tells n
pleasant story on Ex-Gov. Seay in
connection with the D county agricul-
tural display at the El Reno district
fair. Me had a stalk of corn on exhib-
it that measured nine feet to the ear
and had a standing offer of a dollar to
the man who would stand flat footed
it. Judge Seay stands like
King Saul, head and shoulders, physi-
cally as well as mentally, above his
fellowmen, and when he saw the tall
stalk he went after that ear and was
greeted by the laugh of the crowd
when he failed to reach it. Not to be
outdone by the tall cora from D coun
ty, he took off his hat and tried to hnng
It on the ear. Agnin he failed, and
the plaudits of the multitude,
over to where the big pump-
kin lay and said he eould eat it—if it
iw made up into pie.
Married:—Wedding bells rang out
ght merrily lost Thursday in celebra-
tion of the marriage of Mr. Arthur L.
Russell to Miss drace B. Hunter. The
solemn words that made these twain
one were pronounced by Rev. W. J.
Harrod in the presence of few rela-
tives and intimate friends of the fami-
ly, at the residence of the bride's par-
ents, Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Hunter; and
tbe hours immediately following were
given up to such social enjoyment as
is most befittiug to so happy and
auspicious an occasion. TIlP young
people most interested in the event
®re well known in Woodward and
many a hearty good wish has already
been sent itying Rfter them. Mr. Rus-
sell is the son of Dr. Russell, the pop-
ular dentist, and >s most kindly known
for his own merits; while the young
and nccomplissed woman he has won
for the presiding genius of his home is
one of those whose friends are number-
ed by the names of her acquaintances.

The theft of (WO head of cattle from
the Anchor D pasture or any other
place would have beeu considered too
daring an undertaking until accom-
plished—but it has been and so far
there appears to be no trace of either
thieves or cattle. Such a feat is start-
ling, and it is hard to understand how
600 cattle could be stolen and in a body
and both thieves and cattle disappear
completely. The general public
should use every effort to bring the
thieves to justice.—Hardesty Herald.
To those of our readers who want
another live paper, we heartily com-
mend the Kansas City Journal,
which is just beginning its 42nd year
and is now the cheapest in price, as it
has always been largest in size and
most reliable in news. The new sub-
scription prioe of ft.00 a year places the
Kansas City Jotrnal within reach of
all; and it is the desire of its manage-
ment to have the Journal in every
home within its territory. You will
want to keep posted on the campaign
of 1890, a campaign that promises to
be the most exciting one since 18(11.

The cattlemen of Beaver county will
learn afterwhile to unite in any effort
to detect and prosecute rustlers. The
rustlers always staud together itv help-
ing one of their crowd, and antil the
xtockmen get together in all effort to
show rustlers how strong law is, steal-
ing will increase and the ranchmen
will he the losers. Lots of stockmen
will not come out openly in their opin-
ions of the rustlers bccausc they do
not want to incur the enmity of that
element, which may at times lie policy
but it is not Hrst-rnte citizenship mid
is not right. A few will not assist in
the prosecution of thieves or throw
their influence iu that direction be-
cause they have lost nothing themsel-
ves, nnd remain ueutral. A citizen is
n sorry specimen when he filwolutcly
refuses to throw his influence on the
moral side. So at present it is almost
every stock owner for himself, while
the rustlers are united. Stockmen
should get more in unity in efforts to
punish thieves nnd when one is con-
victed, large, salty, pearly, humid,
sympathetic tears should not tie shed
because the thing is done. Let the
sentence be carried out.—Hardesty
Herald.

With the coming of the cold, those
who can afford the trip begin to think
of going to a frostless country. Cali-

winter climate, its great mountains,
its placid sea and its gorgeous proces-
sion of flowers nnd fruits. While those
who have an abundance of means may
prefer to travel first-class, in a luxuri-
ous Pullman Palace Sleeper, there are
others (and they form a large class)
who are content with a cheaper and
almost as comfortable a means of
transit. They patronize the Santa Fe
Route Tourist Sleeper Excursions.
Those Tourist Sleepers have regular
Pullman equipment of hair mattresses,
blankets, sheets, pillows, pillow-slips,
curtains, carpets, tables, toilet articles,

♦5 from Kansas City, and the railroad
ticket rate is proportionately low.

Day—Pari'El!—At seven o'clock on
the evening of the Uth of Nov., 1895.
Mr. L. M. Day and Miss Dora Par-
cel were united in marriage at the
home of the bride's mother in Greens-
burg, the writer officiating.
The groom is well known in a large
portion of the state and finds friends
wherever he goes. He is a progres-
sive man, a lawyer by profession and
is one of the best judges of law ia the
west. A man ndapted to make life a
success.
The bride, who has proven herself
a workwoman that noedeth not to be
itshnmed" as a printer aud journalist,
also possesses the qualifications for
making a home beautiful and attrac-
tive. Bhe is a lady in every respect,
and comes from one of the best fami-
lies in the city. The occasion was
quiet but exceedingly pleasant. We
join the many friends in wishing that
their life may be unbroken peace, and
as useful as the beginning was pleas-

a number of years jerked sense out of
his hieroghyhics in the old £ignal
