sessment as made by the Carbon

stock Of the company and that he
had been its counsel before going on

that either himself or his wife

An Antique C ameo.

Through the kindness of Prof.
Maxwell Summerville, Professor of
Glyptology in the University of
Pennsylvania, we are in receipt of a
Monograph of a large Cameo. The
Triumph of Constantine, which was
at one time the property of Catha-
rine II Empress of Russia, and by
her in 1885 presented to one of her
ambassadors. At his death it was
sold, and became the property of a
banking house, which in time sold it
to a Greek, and at his death it be-
came part of a collection in Styria,
from whence it was obtained by
Prof. Summerville and added to his
large and valuable collection in the
University. The Professor easily
holds the first place in this country
in the knowledge and history of en-
graved gems, and his collection is no
doubt the finest and perhaps most
valuable of any in the United States.
He is to be congratulated on this
latest acquisition, which has been
obtained by perseverance and Ia
Dor which would have discouraged
any but the enthusiastic and learned
Professor.

OBITUARY.
ALIEN wHIrEsFt DEAD.


Allen Whitesel was buried Tues
day morning March 18th at ten o.
clock, religious services being con-
Quoted by Rev. S. w. Griffin, pastor
of the First Presbyterian church.
The deceased man was born in
Pike county Pennsylvania, being a
son of Benjamin Whitesel, and both
parents are yet living in Pennsyl-
vania.
After leaving school he served an
apprenticeship at the timer trade,
and was a first-class workman, being
able to do anything in the line of his
trade.
About eleven years ago, he left
Pennsylvania and came west, and
has lived in Southern Kansas and
Oklahoma. He has been a resident
of Enid for upward Of two years.
employed by Hockaday & Company.
He was exceedingly popular with
companions.
He had been sick with some lung
trouble for two weeks previous to
his death, but was not regarded as
in dangerous condition. On
Thursday March ~ he was so much
better, that Dr. Field discontinued
his visits, and by Saturday night
Mr.. Whitesel was so cheerful over
his condition, that he talked of GO
ing to work again Monday morning.
His sudden death then on Sunday
morning March IS, was shock to
his intimate friends here who had
not regarded him as being in a crit
ical condition.
Mr.. Whitesel had been a member
of the Odd Fellows organization for
many years and the Lodge here took
charge of the remains, and arranged
for the funeral Dispatches were
sent to his parents, brothers inl Ne
braslla, and to John w. Nyce,S OF
Caldwell, whose wife is cousin of
the deceased.
Mr.. Nyce, was the only family
connection present at the funeral.
Last night he related that he hadre-
ceived a dispatch announcing the
death Sunday afternoon. That he
was entertaining at his home ten
other men from Pennsylvania and
that a few minutes previous to
the receipt of the dispatch, they
were talking of the deceased and
Charles Newlands, and the remarks
were made, that if these two were
present, their Pennsylvania crowd
in this section would be complete

RaInes High lax Bill.

Governor Morton having signed
the Raines liquor tax bill it is now a
law in New York state While it
has imperfections, and what law on
that subject has not, it is certainly
a long step in advance of the law
formerly controlling the sale in that
State The present law is an at
tempt to substitute a high tax for a
high license system and it will allow
every one to open a saloon who is
willing to pay the tax 1t is in this
respect different from the methods
in most States, and its operation
will be a matter of interest. There
have been many unfair criticisms of
it several mayors of cities claiming
that it will deprive the municipal
ties of much revenue, but the fact is
that if two-thirds of the present
number of saloons go out of business
the revenue to the city will be great
er from the One-third than it now is.
This law viii take the matter of
granting licenses out of the hands
of the local excise boards, where the
privilege was shamefully abused,
and in some instance no bonds given,
or if the farce of so doing was gone
through with names placed thereon
without the knowledge or consent
of their owners, and then when the
term Of the commissioner expired
the bonds were destroyed. The
granting will now rest with board
to be appointed which should be
bipartisan. The tax will range
from $50 to $500, and if the law
proves as beneficial in its operation
as did the Brooks high license act
in this state, it will go a long way
toward improving the morals of the
people in our sister state.

George Razor talked with Sheri-

the wagon and load, showing that it
was heavy wagon with a large load
