| Mrs. VIM. Langley died on Tuesday
at her home south of town, after q
brief illness, and was buried in the
lola cemetery on Wednesday. Rev. G.
I N. Fl. Moore conducting the funeral
services. She leaves a husband and
an infant child to mourn her untimely
death.
C. E. Merwlu, Of lola, was In town this weel
aud purchased fne organ from one Of ouI
dealers.-Humboidf Onion.
Hyou had inquired after the whole
truth, friend Union, you would have
learned that Mr.. Merwin preferred a
good Humboldt organ that he could
move, to poor Humboldt real estate
that he couldn't move.
The ladies of the Christian church
with their usual enterprise, gave the
first strawberry festival of the season
at the Bowlus building last evening.
We go to press too early to report it,
but the occasion was doubtless pleas
ant and successful-provided the ice
cream was well boiled and served hot.
"Tell the people," said City Marshal
Harris, "that If they don't clean up
their premises they will all have the
small pox and cholera this summer. u
1t may not be quite 80 bad as that,
but those who fail to renovate will Ger.
tainly have great cause to regret their
negligence when Mr.. Harris and the
board of health get after them. Clean
up!
The centennial demonstration In New
York on Tuesday is said to have been
the grandest civic display of modern
times. A very full report of the mas
terly orati)n pronounced on that day
by Chauncey DePew will be found on
our inside pages. A further account OF
the ceremonies that preceded and fol-
loved this address will be given next
| week.
The "new editor" Of the REGISTER
is too anxious to hear the remainder of
the story to have any wish to deny
space for the continuation of "The
Other Side," and he is suIe that the
readers of this paper share his inter-
est. Let us have the rest of il by all
means. We haye got the story of
what went on outside Of Richmond by
heart; tell us now the tale of what
transpired inside.
Parties who subscribed for the Okla
homa Times will have to be patient as
the material for printing the paper,
although shipped nearly two weeks
ago, has not yet reached its destina-
ton. Its "good deal of chore" for
one railroad to carry 10000 people and
their houses and furniture and mer-
chenille goods into country. and
while the Santa Fee is doubtless doing
its best, some delay is inevitable.
The practice of exchanging "May
baskets" has become quite common
among the very young people of both
sexes and many shifts are resorted to
by them to obtain flowers. Some who
have enough pin money, patronize the
greenhouse. Others get their flowers
from their own vine and fig tree or
from their neighbor's-or from the
grocery stores. It is very pleasant
and beautiful practice and will doubt
less grow in favor as the years go by.
Two weeks ago we made mention of
the fact that the council had instruc-
ted its committee on public grounds to
construct effective and cOnvenient
gates for the entrances 10 the public
square. We observe that these entran-
ces now have strong boards firmly
nailed across them. The commit
tee has evidently carried out half its
instructions at least. for these gates are
certainly effective" 1T may be,
however, that their convenience is
open to question.
The Christian Endeavor society Of
the Presbyterian church will hold its

work is requested to present a written
report. w. II. HYATT, JR.,
