UNITED IN MARRIAGE.
lCleO Chieftain,l

lCleO Ch1eftaln.
On last Monday evening in the CITY OF
Enid, Mr.. James w. Thompson and
| Miss Jessie Egner were joined in mar
riage. Rev. Porter, pastor of the Meth
odist church at that place, performed
the ceremony at his home.
The affair was great surprise to all
| OF our home people; they never dream.
ed that these young people had any
such intention, although they were
| seen together great deal in the past
month. Cupid cuts some queer capers
and does his work in a hurry some
times.
Mr.. and Mrs. Thompson are a worthy
young couple and the whole people
have kindly interest in them and wish
them success Ill life. They are both
members of the Methodist church, and
take great interest in christian work.
1t would be great surprise to go to
church or Sunday school and not see
Mr.. and Mrs. Thompson in their accus.
toned places.
The groom has been foreman in the
Chleftaln Office for several months, and
has been trusty, competent man. He
has no bad habits, does not drink, use
tobacco, or swear, and has so conducted
himself since coming here as to make
everybody his friend. He has good
ability, and will succeed in all he under
takes. He is manly fellow in all that
the term implies, and should succeed
anywhere. His parents live at Medi-
cine Lodge, Kansas, where he was rails
ed and where he IS well and faYorably
known.
The bride is the daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. G. II. Egner, who came to Cleo
about six months ago to reside. and is
an attractive young lady. full of merri-
ment, one of those creatures who seem
to be in loye with life, and there isn't
any doubt but that she will make a
faithful and devoted wife.
MIR. and Mrs. Thompson are boarding
at the Palmer house at present, but
think of going to housekeeping as soon
as they can get house. We trust they
Will settle down in Cleo permanently
and build up home.
We JOIN with their many friends in
wishing them success in life, and may
the attachment which started in friend
ship, ripened into love and eliminated
in marriage, grow stronger for each
other as the years roll on.

SOME FINE ANIMALS.

Eli Benedict, the popular proprietor
of the widely known Medicine Lodge
Stock Farm, short distance west of
this city, has as fine a herd OF Short
Horn cattle as can be found anywhere.
He took fancy to Short Horns about
eight years ago and began with seven
OF as good cows as he could purchase.
Now he has herd of nearly 200, and
for the past several years has turned
of many calves at prices ranging from
S45 to SIS. The secret of Mr. Bene-
diets success lies in the fact that he
ways keeps the best bulls and changes
blood frequently. He now has three
on the ranch-Raymond, four years old;
Princepf Fashion, two years old. and a
fine Cruikshank calf which he has just
purchased at the Rockefeller ranch at
Belvidere. Raymond and Prince of
Fashion come from RIco county and
are recognized by all stockmau to be
perfect. but probably the finest animal
in the whole herd Is the Cruikshank
calf. He is certainly a beauty. 1t was
our pleasure to look at him Sunday and
we do not hesitate 20 say that we never
saw anything near his equal before
HIS form is immense and he will GER
tainly make valuable animal when he
gets his growth. Eli Is naturally proud
Of him and has already refused large
amounts Of money for him. He SAYS.
without any desire to boast, that 81 600
would not take him from the ranch.
Besides taking great pride IN fine cat
tie, Mr.. Benedict is fancfer of swine.
He has Just received a fine Poland
China registered male pig sired by Ban.
ner Boy who took a premium at the
Worlds fair. He bought the pig ct
Wichita, Kansas. lie has a fine lot
of Poland China sows and will certain
-ly show some fine pigs during the com
ing season.
Mr.. Benedict's ranch has always
been recognized as one of the best in the
West, but we believe that it excels it,
self this year. He has cleaned out all
the inferior stuff and buys nothing but
the very best. He always has feed of
all kinds in abundance and knows how
TO feed. HIS big barn and his stock
yards are living examples of his thrift
and industry, and to Il visitor it seems
that nothing has been left undone to
make his place an ideal stock farm.

DR.. w. I'll. Boles severed his connec-
tion with the revival meeting and re-
liglous work in this city last Thursday.
He is now delivering lectures at Shar-
on-the last of which will be tonight.
DR.. Boles has been with us little more
than month and while there are many
who are inclined to crlticise HIM for the
radical stand he takes, all are unit in
paying tribute to his talent both rs a
lecturer and as an evangelist. By those
whom DR.. Boles is esteemed he is es-
teemed heartily while those who de-
spise him express themselves in bitter
terms. Speaking for ourselves, we be-
iieve he has done great work in this
community. Hls sermons and lectures
are in harmony with Holy Writ and
those who think his speech is too plain
and tno radical must entertain the
same view regarding the bible. Many
have seen fit to denounce him because
he pointed out sin in the community
while others have said that he has no
right 10 mix religion with politics.
Here again it seems to US that DR.. Boles
has been eminently right. We believe
this to be the first duty of teacher OF
religion. DR.. BoIes is certainly an able
man and courageous as he is able. AS
an orator he is brilliant and a. . logi-
clan he u thorough.

Home talent presented "The Chape-
ron" to a very large audience at the op-
era house on Monday night. The en-
tertainment was conducted wholly by
young ladies and they have reason to
feel elated over their success. THE
Chaperon" is high class play and
very diiIicult to render. The ladies had
only very short time in which to pre-
pare for the occasion, and If they could
have had more time for rehearsal the
entertainment would doubtless have
been rem better than it was.

yesterday for Dodge City. their future

feeling of regret that we bid adieu to
this estimable family. They have bleu
citizens of Medicine Lodge and Barber
county great many years and enjoy

a man in Medicine Lodge who does not
feel proud if he can claim the friend
ship of Hiram Burnett. Whether in
business or otherwise Mr.. Burnett is
always the same wholesouled. GENIAL
gentleman. The kindliest wishes of
his neighbors and friends follow him
